By GENE RAFFENSPERGER Register Staff Writer Youngsters riding Wilmer L. Clin-gan's school bus called him foul names, said he smelled bad and alleged that he had sexual activities with students. Objects were thrown on the bus and some students stood while the vehicle was in motion, despite Clin-gan's instructions that they be seated. Clingan, 62, who lives near Sigourney and drove a Sigourney Community School District school bus route from August 1990 until May 1991, complained to school officials, but he said nothing was done to correct matters. So Clingan quit his $4,500 job and filed for unemployment benefits.

A hearing officer denied his application, but Clingan appealed and an administrative law judge granted the benefits. Those facts are in a report from an Employment Appeal Board hearing, which upheld the law judge's granting of benefits to Clingan, saying he was justified in quitting his job because working conditions were unsafe, intolerable and detrimental. The appeal board said a bus driver's responsibility is safe operation of the bus, and a driver can be expected to do only so much In maintaining discipline and control over the students. hmw a mmr.m; -v Students from Clegg Park Elementary School in West Des Moines line up to enter the one-room schoolhouse at Living History Farms in Urbandale Tuesday.

However, he was then stopped a second time and his truck weighed 93,300 pounds, Kougias said.

Ten charges have been filed against Holmes in Clarke County District Court in connection with the overweight truck. Holmes could not be reached for comment Friday. Kougias said DOT officers frequently encounter trucks that are overloaded with corn during the harvest season. However, he added, "I don't think it is a problem more so than any other kind of truck enforcement problem." being overloaded with corn. "For the type of load, this was probably one of the biggest we've run into," he said.

Arthur Paul Beal was featured on 'Unsolved Mysteries' earlier this month in an attempt to determine his identity. tite was Beal's employer. Restitution Is currently being discussed with Beal, said Bill Nary, deputy city attorney. Nary was told by Beal's attorney that Beal does not remember anything about his trip to Las Vegas. At this point, his memory hasn't returned.

Beal's attorney also told Nary that a doctor examined Beal and confirmed that he had amnesia. Charges were filed against Beal in March. In Idaho, grand theft carries a fine of up to 10,000 and one to 20 years in jail. Ex-Iowan suffering amnesia still faces Idaho theft charges Cutbacks likely for ISU sports ISU Continued from Page 1A gram much if scholarships were dropped completely. Since gymnastics is mainly an upper-middle-class sport, "we'd still be competitive whether there were scholarships or not." Crawford also recommended that a temporary reduction of university money for sports information staff members and coaches' teaching classes be made permanent.

Millions Saved Warren Madden, vice president for business and finance, and Thomas Thielen, vice president for student affairs, also gave their recommendations for cuts on campus. In all, the recommendations should save $3 million to $5 million on top of an estimated $4 million to $5 million in budget-cutting recommendations announced Monday. ISU President Martin Jischke must approve any cuts and the state Board of Regents must approve many of the changes. Crawford said the ISU committee headed by Daniel Robinson, a professor of professional studies, and Bill Goldring, assistant athletic director, will continue to review the operation of the entire department. Recommendations should be prepared by the February athletic council meeting.

Other recommended ways to save money include: Seeking proposals for private management of the university book store, the university flight service and waste removal and recycling. Making what was a temporary cut in WOI-AM radio's broadcast hours permanent. WOI-AM no longer broadcasts between midnight and 5 a.m. Finding ways to make dormitory living more appealing to students. Fewer undergraduates are living in dorms, but the dorms should tailor more rooms for older students, graduate students and students who want special "quiet" floors.

Special contracts also should be considered so students don't have to leave the dorms over breaks. Encourage more student organizations to "adopt a space" to clean up classrooms and campus grounds. Close Beyer Hall and State Gym to recreation during breaks and use the savings in the new recreation facility. Reduce weekend meals and daily breakfasts offered in the dormitories. More layoffs and reduced staff hours will result from the changes, the vice presidents said, but they said the details aren't known.

Students will see the effects. Thielen said for the most part, the same services will be available "but I think it will be a little tougher for them to access them." Crawford said that student opportunities for foreign study would be narrowed and that the honors program will be limited. Madden said university staff and faculty will continue to clean their own offices "and you can all come join us on some Saturday morning while we clean." $17,000 fine By WILLIAM PETR0SKI Register Staff Writer An Osceola truck driver is facing a possible fine of $17,633 after being stopped by state trucking enforce ment officers for hauling what is believed to be one of the most overloaded corn trucks on record. DES MOINES Osceola 0 Larry Carl Holmes, 48, of Osceola was stopped Sunday night as he pulled out of a truck stop on U.S. Highway 34 here with a semitractor trailer that allegedly weighed 115,680 pounds 36,680 pounds over the state's maximum truck weight limit.

Dennis Kougias, acting commander of the Iowa Department of Transportation's truck enforcement district in southeast Iowa, said the allegations represent one of the most serious cases in memory of a truck Two Muscatine men face charges, fines for illegal hunting The Register's Iowa News Service Conesvllle, la. Two Muscatine men could face more than $6,000 in fines and penalties on charges of ille gal duck hunting. State conservation officers arrested Bruce Vipond and David Wingerter DES MOINES Conesvllle) about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday along the Cedar River northeast of Cones-ville. The men had 19 wood ducks and two green-winged teal.

Officers also found seven ducks at Vipond's home and 14 ducks at Win-gerter's home. The legal possession limit is six birds. Officers confiscated the birds, and seized two 12-gauge shotguns as evidence. Wingerter faces 19 charges of possession of migratory game birds in excess of the limit. He also was charged with unlawful transportation of migratory game birds and with illegal possession of a wild turkey more than 30 days after the close of the season.

He could be fined as much as $2,947.50 and assessed $950 in damages. Vipond was charged with 11 counts of possessing more ducks than the legal limit.

4 in Muscatine County Magistrate Court. Israel resigns post at Vennard College The Register's Iowa News Service Oskaloosa, la. Dr. Warthen T. Israel has resigned as president of Vennard College, citing a desire to return to the ministry.

A search committee has been formed to look for a new president. Until one is found, Dr. Earl J. Stine, chairman of the board, will head a four-person committee to manage the college. Beal had the right to possess the property, but he disposed of it in an unauthorized manner, authorities said.

Beal sold the food to pay for lodging and other costs. Alan White, Ada County deputy prosecutor, said it's uncertain whether the alleged crime was committed because of amnesia. Beal was featured on "Unsolved Mysteries" earlier this month in an attempt to determine his identity. Friends in Burlington recognized him and notified his mother and stepfather there. White said it would be difficult for the prosecution to prove an amnesiac is acting with criminal intent.

The Beal case is now being handled by the Boise city attorney because of a possible conflict of interests. The Ada County attorney was also prosecuting Thomas Bacon, owner of Bon Appetite, when the Beal case first surfaced.

By HOLLY A. SMITH Register Staff Writer A former Burlington man still faces charges in Idaho for a theft that occurred while he was suffering from amnesia. Arthur Paul Beal, 23, will have a preliminary hearing Oct. 30 on a charge of grand theft by unauthorized control. Beal went to Nevada in January to sell gourmet food for Bon Appetite, a food distributor in Boise, Idaho.
