Iowa City

The soldiers of the 22nd and 28th Iowa defined themselves as citizens fighting in the defense of the republic. Their political attitudes as expressed in their own extant letters and their newspaper of choice, the Iowa City Weekly Republican, provide motive for their killing of Butler’s bloodhounds. Historians have agreed that the United States Army of the American Civil War was a force of volunteer citizen-soldiers and were conscious of their role as a political weapon. A republican ideology…

would offer clothing, accessories and shoes for plus sized women.

During year two of business operations I received several offers to contract with night clubs and sell them large…

I went on a job shadow with Sergeant Chuck Robinson of th Kossuth County Sheriffs Office. Chuck is the nighttime supervisor, which means he only works nights and is there to mostly help the other cops, if need be. The entire job shadow was a last minute ordeal as my original job shadow fell through because there was business and personal issues at Elbert Chevrolet that kept me from shadowing there and watching. But continued to make this shadow a valuable experience. As I stated above I did my…

thing that I gained from the upperclassman interview is that agricultural business has great opportunities. I just have to make the best of my experience at Iowa State to full get what I need. Taking the academic policies and procedures, has made me aware of the many academic rules Iowa State has. I have learned how to search for them on the Iowa State website, and find an answer to almost any academic question I have. The academic policies quiz has definitely helped me understand the rules of…

differences. This week’s topic of community connections has been a difficult one for me. Growing up I never had roots to one place. I moved all over the state of Iowa never living anywhere more than five years, and never in an ‘urban’ area. As a teaching professional I have only lived in this community for three years, and as in most small Iowa towns to have any influence to do anything including in the school system, you have to be one of three types of people. One, born in the community and…

an ally, Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter said during a meeting at the University of Northern Iowa that he was extremely disappointed in Leath’s potential misuse of the planes and that “additional action is warranted.” Rastetter called Leath a successful president during his five-year tenure but said regents must “ensure that our universities are run in a manner that the people of Iowa expect and demand.” The board’s audit committee voted to order its internal auditor to review flights…

Beginning as a modest 648 acre farm in 1858, the Iowa State University campus was hardly more than a large prairie with a few buildings scattered around. As enrollment rates skyrocketed, it was clear that the landscape needed a change. In the early 1900s, the Olmstead Brothers were hired to survey the land and construct a detailed recommendations report to assist in the campus’s future landscape design. Their design of Iowa States campus was designated to not only serve the travel needs of its…

The Walking Burger A Consumer Review on The restaurant, Zombie Burger Zombie Burger in Des moines Iowa greeted my family with the most realistic zombie statues and post-apocalyptic vibes while entering the restaurant. I definitely agree when critics claim their food and drinks are “to die for”. Some popular burgers customers love are “zombie unicorn”, “three little pigs as told by the wolf”. This Burger joint has way more than your standard juicy burger, and has been recognized on Food…
