Twenty-one football players will call themselves Hawkeyes for the first time during the upcoming 2013 football sea- son, as part of Iowa’s most recent re- cruiting efforts. The majority of players come from the Midwest, but a few will travel to Iowa City from faraway lands such as Texas and New Jersey. “We’re obviously very pleased with the class,” Iowa head football coach said as he addressed the media Wednesday. “I think for the most part, we filled some of the needs we felt were import- ant. And most importantly, I think we found players who we feel are going to fit our program — that’s probably the secret of anything.” In addition to the 21 players that were awarded scholarships for to attend and play football for Iowa, the program will have at least 13 freshmen walk on to the football team this year and com- pete for a spot on the roster. The class, ranked 52nd in the nation according to rivals.com, certainly isn’t the best work Ferentz has done during his time here, but the 14-year Iowa Iowa’s Mike Gesell (10) and Melsahn Basabe pressure Wisconsin’s Ryan Evans (5) during the first half on Wednesday in Madison.

Starting with just a few lines and a book of Grimms’ fairy tales, UI theater students craft a play from scratch with the innovative Minneapolis Moving Company.

By Emma McClatchey [email protected]

A cross section of a dingy abandoned building sits in the Thayer Theater, featuring a rusty garage door, a locker stuffed with a long trench coat, and bricks, buck- ets, and books resting in front of the stage. It hardly seems the scene of anything spectacular — until an arm sprouts from the sleeve of the coat, and a man emerges from the locker, sits on the ground, and starts to tell a story. Like most fairy tales, things in the fantastical new play Out of the Pan Into the Fire aren’t quite what they seem. But cast and crew said this was the founding principle of the upcoming Mainstage Series produc- tion premièring at 8 p.m. today, which was conceived, written, and produced in fewer than three months by University of Iowa theater students and professionals from the Minneapolis theater troupe the Moving Com- pany. The two were brought together through the Iowa Partnership in the Arts program, which strives to fa- cilitate the production of cutting-edge work by allowing residents and students the freedom to experiment.
