thirty-first in 19:33 and the other
three girls finished within a min-

NONE of these Councilors, when
asked directly, said, "I'll increase
affordable housing in Iowa City,
but only if the LOST passes." They
simply promised to do it. And they
should. And they don't need a new
tax to do it. They can simply re-
quire developers to do it. But they
and other Councils have lacked the
necessary political courage for over
30 years.
I am not impressed by putting
this item on the ballot. I'll be im-
pressed when they follow through.
Hawkeye Challenge
Johnson County is preparing for
year 2 of our Hawkeye Challenge
on Friday, September 12... the day
before the Iowa-ISU football game.
The Hawkeye Challenge started
last year as good-natured ribbing
between Treasurer Tom Kriz and
Auditor Travis Weipert. Each
claimed to be a bigger Hawkeye fan
than the other.
Soon this became which of their
offices had more Hawkeye Pride.
Then it spread countywide. So we
held a competition between all the
different departments.
This was fun! From entering the
Sheriff's Office to the strains of
"Back In Black", to tailgating food
at the Treasurer's Office, to playing
games at Social Services, employ-
ees took it to heart and made it re-
ally fun. Every office was decorated
black and gold.
The event was really perfect...
the public still got served in a time-
ly fashion, and most of them had
a great deal of fun with it. I'm re-
ally glad Tom and Travis got this
started!
The only complaints we got were
from the minority of the staff that
roots for Iowa State. So this year,
those folks can show their colors,
too.
If you get a chance, stop by the
County offices on Friday the 12th,
and judge the winners for yourself!
You've got the blue )rint. We've got the loan.
Hawkeyes vs. Mocking Jays
I really enjoy the Hunger Games
series by Suzanne Collins. In her
dystopian world, there is a wealthy
Capital CiW, surrounded by twelve
"Districts" in various states of pov-
erty,
As regular readers know, I am
also a big fan of Hawkeye sports.
As usual, I attended the Hawkeye's
opening game against UNI.
And that is where it hit me. The
gleaming Press Box at Kinnick.
Down below, disheveled looking
people picking up cans. The Press
Box is the Capital City. They are af-
forded all sorts of rights and privi-
leges that others are denied. Rules
are different for them. Meanwhile,
folks out in the Districts struggle.
Their focus on their situation is
diverted by "The Games" - in our
case, Hawkeye sports.
Attendance is down at Hawkeye
games. People feel as though they
are overcharged, over-policed,
and just generally treated badly.
They are tired of it, and ready for
a change.
Could a revolution be coming? I
dunno. I doubt it. But if so, I hope it
hits our whole society and not just
Hawkeye athletics.
May the odds be ever in your
favor!

Part One hits theaters November
