Bom Sept. 25 at Mercy Drug dog From 1A the Iowa Supreme Court thinks it's not, then that's good enough for me." Knight also said the searches would be planned for "once or twice a year." West Branch is the only smalltown area district that has not implemented the law into its policy. Artist said the district estimated that approximately 60 percent of school districts in the state have adopted the law into their policies.

Some people, like West Branch resident Mike Owen, are worried about what this law means for privacy rights in the future. 'That's the danger anytime you have an erosion of rights," Owen said. "Where is it heading?" Owen said he overheard a sentiment at a recent school board meeting that the innocent would have nothing to fear from a random search. "That's not the way we approach human rights in this country," he said. Tim Walsh, who is a junior at the high school, said he believes the searches are "not a good idea." "It's overreacting on the part of the district," Walsh said.

"It's a complete waste of time. I don't think there's a big drug problem at the school." Walsh also said he believed the random searches were an absolute violation of students' rights. This same issue was brought before the school board in 1996, but was defeated when it was found to violate school policy. Knight brought up a 1996 incident, when a bomb-detecting dog was brought into the school after a bomb threat. "No one complained then," he said.

"This also is an issue of safety for the students who want to go to school in a drug-free environment." At a recent board meeting, there was a comment about the possibility of drugs being planted in innocent students' lockers or belongings. In response, Knight said that, while unfortunate, at least the narcotics would be confiscated. The dog that would be used in the searches cost West Liberty $7,500, and was bought in 1996. The dog's handler, Police Chief Chris Gerstbrein, said Comet has more than earned his keep. "He has given us another resource to help us fight this problem," Gerstbrein said.

"The quantities of drugs we've been uncovering has gone up." Though the dog has been involved with several busts, Gerstbrein said one has yet to take place as a result of a school search.

"And we don't want the image tarnished." Iowa State Patrol Col. John Wilson, out of Des Moines, said the passes have been available to troopers as far back as the 1960s, when he worked in the area.

Wilson said his agency always has been told the practice was acceptable by a representative from the attorney general's office. When questions came up again, though, the issue was checked again. It remains legal, he said. "It didn't appear to be a situation worth generating concern for in the general public," he said. Bob Bowlsby, UI men's athletic director, said there were 40 standing-room-only passes available some of which are used for workers directing traffic.

The passes generally were at field level, or in standing areas on the concourse, Wilson said use of the passes in recent years has declined and, at times, he would have liked to have seen more troopers use them. He said if help was needed, it meant the extra assistance was there. "We will just do business as usual," "Anyone who stacks bills without properly forwarding them that's bad business." Bob Hardy, production coordinator for the City of Iowa City cable division, said every company has its share of billing and service complaints. Hardy said his office receives no more than 10 TCI complaints in an average month. TCI had an extremely busy summer, Hardy said.

With the rebuild under way in Iowa City, he said, calls flooded TCI phone lines. The company was so loaded with calls during certain phases of the rebuild that communication was congested, Hardy said. This might have magnified the problem, he said. Heck said McLaughlin's situation is rare and she has taken steps to talk with him and rectify the problem. Many companies deal with situations that do not reflect how they normally conduct business, she said.

"John had some valid concerns and we are going to get those worked out," Heck said. TCI From 3A out notification. He called TCI and the post office to figure out the problem. During this time, McLaughlin said, his cable bills stacked up in the TCI office. McLaughlin said he gave TCI his temporary address directly and asked that his cable be reconnected.

No bills came but he decided to go ahead and send a check. Not long after, he received a notice from a collection agency in Texas claiming he owed money. The notice was dated the same day TCI cashed his check, McLaughlin said. TCI finally reconnected cable service in late September after the McLaughlins returned home to Iowa City, he said. "In the meantime, they have damaged my credit reputation by turning this over to a collection agency and I've had an immaculate credit history for 50 years," McLaughlin said.
