I'm not wearing professor clothes," says Bret Anthony Johnston. He's wearing a baseball cap and a Star Wars T-shirt. When Johnston visited Iowa early last spring, the Harvard professor wore a checkered blazer. Then, he was a candidate for the new director of Undergraduate Creative Writing (... So Long at the Fair seemed like a great summer read - it was plotted with love affairs, romance, and intrigue, written by a bestselling author whose last book was selected for Oprah's Book Club. I thought "romantic comedy;" I thought "take it to the beach;" I thought, well, "girly." Art is brazen and ubiquitous in Iowa City during the summer especially. From the sounds of the Friday Night Concert series on the Pedestrian Mall to the onstage drama of Summer Rep shows, those searching to indulge their artistic side have plenty of options. But among the tunes and plays lies a trea... In regard to the UI football rape-gate, I must say that I am utterly disgusted by the actions of the administration and the athletics department. It is welcome news to hear that the Board of Regents voted to reopen the investigation into the apparent cover-up. Iowa taxpayers have a right to know wha... Until recently, it seemed that an ambitious Bush administration bid to restore nuclear cooperation between the United States and India might be dead, a victim of domestic Indian politics. Anti-American communist parties that support Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's centrist government were blocking t... As I've written before, I was a big fan of Bill Clinton when he was president. I'm less enthused with his performance since, but he was far and away the best president in my lifetime. I was born during Reagan, learned what the word "politics" meant under Bush I, and was just about ready to start arg... Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin and Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar have proposed the construction of a pipeline able to bring Midwestern ethanol to the East Coast, where demand is high. However, given ethanol's current lack of overall cost-efficiency, much of the project's benefits will simply be accrued by the et... Iowa men's tennis coach Steve Houghton didn't have to look too far for a new assistant coach, naming the team's volunteer assistant Steve Nash to the full-time position on Wednesday. Former Iowa football All-American Marv Cook will be inducted into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame along with five others on Aug. 30. Cook, who works for Morgan Stanley and is the head football coach for Regina High, took time to speak with the DI about the recent honor and reminisce about his days o... Iowa men's and women's diving coach Bob Rydze was in a hotel room in Beijing when he felt firsthand the long arm of the Chinese law. The Internet was down, but this wasn't an outage that could be corrected by a call to tech support. The date was March 20, and the People's Republic had shut off the ...

Trial dates set in Hillcrest case The trial dates for former Iowa football players Cedric Everson and Abe Satterfield have been set for Nov. 3. Custom books at the UI help to ease students' financial worries, but other universities have been accused of using customization with ulterior motives. Custom books are created by the professor, department, or the publisher to exclude unnecessary data or include other information. The publisher st... On Wednesday evening, the line for tomatoes reached well beyond Carrie Wall's booth at the Farmer's Market, and it didn't die down for an hour. Wall's family has been in the tomato business for more than 20 years, owning a farm called Ineichen Tomatoes, but this summer, tomato vendors can tell tha... Food and beverages sat untouched at a ceremony Wednesday as faculty and friends chose not to step out of line to meet with Lola Lopes, the UI's interim executive vice president and provost for the past year. People expressed their fond farewells and appreciation for Lopes, who will be replaced by W... The UI announced that it netted $386.2 million in grants and contracts, an increase of more than 2 percent over last year. Though the total barely edged out inflation, UI officials were excited about the figure thanks to an increasingly competitive grant distribution process. "It has been an incred... Despite the U.S. Senate's decision Wednesday to delay the federal disaster-relief bill that that would include funding for flood aid, Iowa City officials remained optimistic about their meetings with Iowa's congressional representatives in Washington, D.C. The Coralville Reservoir's capacity is shrinking. Since the dam that created the Reservoir was completed in 1958, approximately 11 percent of the storage basin's capacity has been lost to silt, said Ron Fournier, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mayflower residents will have to endure ongoing construction on the first floor and sparse facilities this fall, the price of getting their home up and running by Aug. 15. Originally, the UI didn't intend to have the facility available for the fall semester, but the inconveniences of not being abl...

Late last week, Gov. Steve Beshear had an announcement to make: he wants Kentucky to become the "energy capital of the world." In theory, I guess that doesn't sound like too bad of a deal. A challenge? Yes. But a problem? No. That is, until Beshear said how he was going to do it. The bulldozers arrived, the buildings fell and with them went the last hopes for an appeal to stop the demolition of the CentrePointe block. We knew it was coming - the razing was unanimously approved at the end of June, The Dame and Busters officially closed nearly a month ago- but still we held t... Just yesterday I returned from a little (and my very first - I know, can you believe it?) trip to THE New York City, and am only too excited to impart the knowledge I gained there to you, my fellow fashion mavens.

As he asked his peers about the "life-cycle" of different materials, he and his teammate, Gabby Gude, matched recycled items with their source during a checkpoint on campus yesterday. They were racing. Edwards, Gude and 14 other middle school stud... While the world looks to China for the upcoming Olympic Games, Kentucky can explore its connections to the country Sunday night when Citizen Kentucky/Citizen China: Hope for a New Century airs on KET1.

Three teams of four UK architectural design students gathered to create alternative concepts for Cent... Demolition of the remaining buildings on the downtown block where CentrePointe is planned to be built began, last night. Bulldozers worked to tear down the Rite Aid Pharmacy building while crowds of people gathered to watch and cars drove by honking, fists waving out the window. Christopher Nolan has completely surpassed "Batman Begins" with his latest outing of the masked vigilante. This is no mean feat, as "Batman Begins" was widely hailed as the best Batman movie ever made when it came out in 2005. Now, the torch has been passed to "The Dark Knight.

The 18-month-old had been crying for so long in the hospital malnutrition ward that his mother no longer tried to console him. The Associated Press Many of the more than 13,000 people commenting on how to improve U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's plans to reintroduce the Mexican wolf into the wild either strongly support or object to the program.

Editor, Under the mentality Andres Saenz displayed in his letter last week, people would receive a bad service just because another could be worse.
