Higher Education Costs
There has been discussion recently by the Board of
Regents on tuition at the Regents schools. Whether we
are students, parents of students or taxpayers, we have
a lot at stake on this issue, whether we are talking about
the Regents schools or others. Many students will be
attending the college of their choice very soon. We hear
regularly about the level of debt that many students have
when they graduate. Accordiing to the numbers I have
seen more than half of 4 year college students do not
get their degrees in four years. There are several rea-
sons. Some students need remedial education. Some
change majors. Others go to school part time. Accord-
ing to The Center for College Affordability and Reli-
ability, taxpayers would save billions of dollars per year
if all students graduated in four years. Of course, we
know that not all students are going to graduate in four
years. However, it would be best for all concerned, if as
many as possible could. I would advise checking on the
graduation rate for any school you are considering at-
tending.
Many students now can take college credit courses
in high school. That can obviously help tremendously
in graduating in four years or less. The cost to the stu-
dent is usually less than a college course for college stu-
dents.
I would advise students and their parents to plan for
college carefully to keep Costs under control. Some col-
leges are also working to help students graduate in four
years. Of course, a four year degree is not for everyone.
Many students do quite well with Community College
or other two year degrees. I also urge students to take
courses that will likely lead to a great job on gradua-
tion. It is very frustrating to get a degree and then find
that it is very difficult to find a satisfactory job. We read
regularly about employers who cannot find employees
who have the skills theyare looking for.
As always, feel free to contact me with your ideas or
concerns at Julian.Garrett@legis.iowa.gov.

Easy Home Canning Ideas
(NAPS)---Home canning is
growing fast in popularity--
and for very good reasons.
It's a practical and enjoy-
able way to preserve garden
produce at its finest. Whether
growing in your own garden
or purchasing from a farmer's
market, any vegetable and
fruit can be canned and its
goodness and flavor saved and
enjoyed throughout the year.
What's more, home can-
ning is wholesome. You know
what's in each jar.
It's also a home craft fami-
lies have enjoyed for genera-
fions and the results are some-
thing everyone can appreciate.
To help, Mrs. Wages,
America's premier provider
of all-natural canning mixes
and pickling and fruit preser-
vation products, makes it
easy to create and preserve
great food with your own spe-
cial homemade taste so you
can create your own fresh
food traditions.
For example, tomatoes are
easy to preserve and there
are a variety of delicious Mrs.
Wages salsa, pasta sauce,
ketchup and chili mixes that
only require fresh tomatoes,
seasoning mixes and either
vinegar or sugar.

that features onion, garlic,
green bell and chili pepper
flavors. You just add your
tomatoes and the vinegar.
