The committee met with University officials and heard reports on such matters as construction progress and allocation of legislative appropriations. Pres. Howard Bowen told the committee that the University was in a "very tight fiscal position" and was having to postpone several improvement projects. Bowen said that the University was attempting to keep up on faculty and programs and was letting some of the "non-human" items wait. Bowen also told the legislators that the University did not intend to become strictly a graduate institution. He said that he would like to see the undergraduate student body at the University remain at about the present size. Bowen also said that he was "open minded" on the question of creating a state college in western Iowa. He said that many assumed the University was opposed to a college in western Iowa, but that the University had not taken a position on the matter because the Board of Regents was currently studying it.
