Towa Coeds Land Mexicali Safely After Battered Car
Three University of Iowa coeds drove a sputtering 1949 sedan named Rich 2100 miles from Cedar Rapids to Long Beach for the Rose Bowl. They endured cold heaters and heavy fog on the California coast while budgeting 105 dollars for travel and relying on help from garages. The outing included engine trouble, four pushes, and frugal routing to dodge high tolls, ending with their arrival in Pasadena. Meanwhile in Mexicali, Mexico, riot police used live ammo and tear gas to break up a National Action Party rally, injuring dozens and wounding a police officer critically as clashes erupted near an outdoor speech by Luis H. Alvarez.
