Policy Change In Suspensions Of Licenses
DES MOINES AP State Safety Commissioner Gene Needles announced a policy change on suspending driver licenses. Licenses will be suspended only after a first hand investigation by a Highway Patrol officer, with exceptions for serious violations. A driver faces at least 30 days for unusually serious offenses and speeding over 20 mph over limit may avoid the serious report. Needles said the aim is education, not mass suspensions.

Regents Endorse Loan Plan For University Buildings
Iowa Regents backed two borrowing schemes to fund academic and medical buildings, shifting from cash basis to bond financing with some legislative checks. The first plan would let bonds be repaid from student fees and state standing appropriations, while the second would apply only to medical facilities at the University of Iowa with hospital revenue pledged. Some regents opposed the plans, citing potential future funding squeezes. An art facilities expansion at the University of Town was approved, increasing the budget to 2.4 billion with a new art gallery and building addition financed by federal grants and state appropriations.
