But one local group is still fighting for alternatives. The Iowa Coalition Against the Shad- ow, a group headed by Iowa City residents Jon Fogarty and Rockne Cole, met at the Iowa City Public Library, 123 S. Linn St., on Monday night to discuss ways to stop the development, The Chauncey. “We want citizens’ voices to be heard, and the decision that’s made reflect com- munity values,” Cole said. “This is our park, our commons, and we all want in- put into this.” The Chauncey proposal included res- idential and office space as well as en- tertainment venues, with a focus on the latter. The 20-story building would also include two FilmScene theaters. With all the chairs in the meeting room taken, people lined the back of the room, and though their name suggests opposi- tion to the height of the building, their grievances with the Chauncey were as varied as they were numbered. The first plan of action for the group is to push for certain zoning for the planned Ellie Capaldo (center) plays with grandmother Cindy Capaldo on Jan.

University of Iowa police records indicate three sexual assaults have been reported this year in university housing. In 2011, there were two reported incidents; police received no reports in 2010. In the wake of the rising number of sexual assaults in UI housing, officials are encourag- ing students to remain vigilant and speak up about sexual violence. Further, the incidents have prompted a dialogue recently among UI officials and local advocacy groups about sex- ual assault and assault education on campus. “Sexual assault is often something people aren’t willing to talk about,” said Susan Ju- nis, education coordinator for the Rape Vic- tim Advocacy Program. “A lot of people write it off or think, ‘This is something that’s never going to happen to me or anyone I know, so People waited from 6 a.m. Wednesday in the IMU to get tickets for President Obama’s appearance on campus Friday.

  • THE ANNALS of IOWA 68 (Fall 2009)
    The Annals of Volume 68, Number 4 Iowa Fall 2009 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue MATTHEW M. METTLER describes the events and motivations that led workers in the farm equipment industry in the Quad Cities in the 1950s to abandon their militant, left-led union for more conservative mainstream unions. He argues that the move did not necessarily represent a rejection of the core ideals of left-led unionism but is better understood as a difficult but pragmatic attempt to preserve those ideals. CLYDE BROWN AND GAYLE K. PLUTA BROWN tell what hap- pened when, after the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution took effect in 1971, 18- to 20-year-olds voted for the first time in the three Iowa cities — Ames, Cedar Falls, and Iowa City — that are home to the state’s public universities. They analyze the factors that contributed to students’ varying degrees of success in the three towns in securing the election of student candidates or candidates they supported. Front Cover A massive picket line from a strike against International Harvester parades through a downtown area in the Quad Cities in 1952.
