Iowa City, Iowa - Friday, April 27, 2007 NEWS THE INDEPENDENT DAILY NEWSPAPER FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 The Daily Iowan FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2007 WWW.DAILYIOWAN.COM 50¢ Fethke OKs Ski-mask incident results in ban UI junior Justin Walker faces a five-month ban from the university campus smoking after being called ‘suspicious’ for wearing a ski mask. ban BY BRITTNEY BERGET THE DAILY IOWAN UI interim President Gary Fethke has approved recom- mendations to widen smoke-free areas across campus and pro- mote UI resources dedicated to helping smokers kick the habit, officials announced Thursday. Fethke agreed with all rec- ommendations from a commit- tee that reviewed campus smoking policies; he also chose to move the proposed cam- puswide smoking ban up from July 1, 2009 to July 1, 2008. Also, the grounds sur- rounding the Field House will now be smoke-free as part of the Health Sciences Campus. This policy is to go Fethke into effect interim president immediately. The committee — which con- sists of Susan Buckley, UI associ- ate vice president for Human Resources; Susan Johnson, UI associate provost for faculty; and Joan Troester, director of UI well- ness — had the duty of seeing how UI students and faculty would react to the smoking bans and whether a campuswide ban could go into effect as early as next year.

  • Trinity College Alumni News, October 1946
    TRINITY COLLEGE Alumni News October · r 946 FOUNDER'S DAY The annual observance of Founder's Day was resumed on October 19th after a lapse of seventeen years. This day marked the 167th anniversary of Bishop Brownell's birth, the founder and first president of the College. At a ceremony in front of the Bishop's statue after the Hobart game, Professor Emeritus Henry A. Perkins presented to President Funston a portrait of Bishop Brownell. This handsome work of art is the gift of Mrs. C. Morgan Aldrich, great..-granddaughter of Bishop Brownell, and is given in memory of her son, Thomas Chapman Aldrich, who was killed at Leyte in December 1944. Bishop Walter H. Gray, Hon. 1941, was introduced by Chaplain O'Grady. He recalled briefly the early history of the College, and the exercises were concluded with the benediction pronounced by Bishop Frederick G. Budlong, Hon. 1933. There was a buffet supper in Cook Dining Hall for 250 alumni and friends of the College. Judge Alex W. Creedon, '09, presided over a short meeting in the Chemistry Auditorium, at which President Funston, Professor Humphrey, Dan Jessee, and Tom Wadlow spoke. The Pipes were in excellent voice, and gave several fine offerings of old and new songs. T COVER PICTURE Charles S.

  • Short Hist of Western Pol Tht.Pdf
    This brief narrative survey of political thought over the past two millennia explores key ideas that have shaped Western political traditions. Beginning with the Ancient Greeks’ classical emphasis on politics as an independent sphere of activity, the book goes on to consider the medieval and early modern Christian view of politics and its central role in providing spiritual leadership. Concluding with a discussion of present-day political thought, W. M. Spellman explores the return to the ancient understanding of political life as a more autonomous sphere, and one that doesn’t relate to anything beyond the physical world. Setting the work of major and lesser-known political philosophers within its historical context, the book offers a balanced and considered overview of the topic, taking into account the religious values, inherited ideas and social settings of the writers. Assuming no prior knowledge and written in a highly accessible style, A Short History of Western Political Thought is ideal for those seeking to develop an understanding of this fascinating and important subject. W. M. Spellman is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina, Asheville, USA. He is the author of A Concise History of the World since 1945; European Political Thought, 1600–1700 and John Locke, all published by Palgrave Macmillan. He also co-authored The West: A Narrative History (Prentice-Hall, USA).

    BOOK REVIEWS American Independence, The Growth of an Idea, A Bibliographical Study of the American Political Pamphlets Printed Between 1764 and IJ76 Deal- ing with the Dispute Between Great Britain and Her Colonies. By THOMAS R. ADAMS. (Providence: Brown University Press, 1965. xxi, 200 p. Illustrations, index. $8.00.) The opening bibliographical salute in honor of the two hundredth anni- versary of the American Revolution has been fired. (Did Mr. Adams write his work in 200 pages symbolically?) In the spring of 1765, after a season of consideration, Parliament enacted the Stamp Act. The American reaction to it and subsequent restrictive measures, as Mr. Adams puts it, "changed the British colonies in North America from loyal and even enthusiastic members of a newly enlarged empire into a nation prepared to destroy by force bonds that had bound them to the mother country for more than a century and a half." The change did not just occur by osmosis. It was the subject of talk, speechifying, mature consideration, debate, and much writing. Mr. Adams' bibliography describes some of what was written. It is limited in scope to what was published concerning the political issues at stake, of American authorship, or of English origin, and reprinted in America, in pamphlet form, and printed before July 4, 1776. It will not surprise many to find listed thirty editions of Thomas Paine's Common Sense, for the impact of that call for freedom has long been recognized. The historian, however, may wish to reassay the importance of Richard Price's pro-American Observations On the Nature Of Civil Liberty, of which 26 editions appeared before the Declaration of Independence, and the quasi- official answer on behalf of Lord North's administration to the declaration of the Continental Congress setting forth the reasons for taking up arms, James Macpherson's Rights of Great Britain Asserted, which ran to twenty editions.
