West floods threaten Parker Dam area amid rising Colorado River
Flooding from spring rains reaches across the West with the Colorado rising at least half a foot overnight and two feet by next week. In Grand Junction the Connected Lakes area may evacuate as the dam dike crumbles, while Parker Strip faces the worst flood in over 40 years with up to five million dollars in damage projected and up to 200 properties at risk. California docks and walls give way as river levels climb two feet. Across Utah and other states, creeks run high and roads, parks, and homes face inundation. A deadly Iowa flood and Missouri River rises add to a nationwide crisis as authorities monitor dikes and evacuations.

Speegle would prefer a lower entrance threshold to attract more students, while Parrish called the 54-hour requirement reasonable and anticipated smoother dual enrollment between UTPB and a community college, aiding the Permian Area.

Community College Plan To Resume After Summer
Parrish said work will restart on the cooperative academic plan this summer with Midland College easing involvement during the spring legislative debate on four year status. The plan seeks to smooth four year transfer for baccalaureate students from the community college to UTPB, with progress resuming this summer and next fall. Speegie added that work will be minimal until Duane Leach takes the UTPB presidency in August, delaying activity until his arrival.
