I Hear IC is an hour long extravaganza of people making art and music of all types, welcoming both students and residents of Iowa City to perform their finished or unfinished projects.

I firmly believed that the true challengers dwelled in the City of … Continued
Brian Urlacher. The name is synonymous with Bears football. He has been a part of the organization since he entered the NFL in the 2000 as the ninth pick in the 1st round. As a Chicago Bears fan, I was disappointed (to say the least) when I read that Urlacher became a free agent because he and his team of 13 years could not reach a contract agreement for the upcoming season.

The men’s team here at Iowa has seen it’s ups and downs, just like every other athletic team. Yet, not many teams can say they have the rich history and tradition like Iowa men’s swimming. The butterfly stroke — yes, the one you see at every single swim meet in the world — was introduced here at Iowa in the Field House pool by coach David Armbruster and swimmer Jack … Continued
