Iowa Regents to choose new leader for UI center after rocky start

The Iowa Board of Regents will interview and decide on the next permanent director for the University of Iowa's Center for Intellectual Freedom at its next board meeting. During a meeting of the center's advisory council on Friday, Nov. 6, the council voted forward two candidates for the Regents to consider at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames. The council did not release the candidates' names. The candidates will have closed-session interviews with the regents before the regents announce and vote on the pick during Wednesday's meeting. More: Nebraska Omaha professor rejects Center for Intellectual Freedom offer The Center for Intellectual Freedom was created in 2025 to address what Republican lawmakers said was a hostile environment for conservatives in higher education. It aims to promote intellectual diversity and the free exchange of ideas. It soon will be charged with offering civics courses to all University of Iowa students. The new search comes after the regents offered the job to University of Nebraska at Omaha political science professor Carson Holloway. He declined the position on Tuesday, Nov. 3, to take one at the University of Florida at Gainesville. The process comes as the center is without a director after interim

Know The Foe 1A Quarterfinals: #6 Clarion-Goldfield-Dows at #2 West Lyon

SIOUX CENTER, Ia. — The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Cowboys football team returns to the grid iron on Friday Night, as they make the long trip to Northwest Iowa to take on the West Lyon Wildcats in the quarterfinal round of the Class 1A Playoffs at the Open Space Athletic Complex in Sioux Center. CGD enters at 9-1 and ranked #6, while West Lyon enters at 9-1 and ranked #2. Friday’s meeting is the 2nd all-time between the 2 programs, as West Lyon won a 2A First Round playoff matchup against the Cowboys in 2023 by a score of 50-0. West Lyon enters Friday fresh off a 35-0 shutout of Hinton in the 2nd round, as the Wildcats only blemish is to the lone undefeated team in Class 2A in their county rivals at Central Lyon/George-Little Rock 14-13 in week 2. The defending 1A State Champions are led by senior quarterback Easton DeJong, who’s thrown for 1,124 yards and 16 touchdowns, while rushing for another 689 yards and 8 touchdowns. DeJong’s favorite target has been junior River Kramer, who’s caught 26 passes for 622 yards and 10 touchdowns, junior Jaxton DeJong was 12 catches for 183 yards and 3 touchdowns, as senior Daxtyn Metzger has 8 catches for 178 yards and 3 scores. The rushing attack has two dependable backs, as sophomore Chasyn Westra has 739 yards and 7 touchdowns, as River Kramer has also spent time in the backfield, rushing for 646 yards and 10 touchdowns. The offensive line is a hallmark of West Lyon football, and the Wildcats have another strong unit, anchored by seniors Jerrence Knoblock and Micah Van Beek.

Kirkwood Iowa Student Spotlight: Patrick Peach

Patrick Peach, a junior at Iowa Valley High School, has been featured in the Kirkwood Iowa County winter newsletter. According to the newsletter, Peach began taking duel credit courses through Kirkwood as a high school freshman. “My favorite courses that I have taken through Kirkwood is probably Calculus I and II, because I am a huge math fan.” Peach said he learned a lot about the world through the sociology and world religion class he attended. “It opened my eyes to what happens in the whole world and not just this little slice in Iowa,” he said. Peach said in the newsletter that while all of his Kirkwood professors made a lasting difference in his life, Nathan Eric Dickman probably made the most difference. “His world religion class help open up my worldview and changed how I think about the world outside of Iowa. His replies on discussion posts were also very helpful in understanding these cultures that are so different than our own,” Peach said. Taking dual credit classes in high school can help prepare students for college, Peach said in the newsletter. The classes teach time management and how to handle the workload of college classes. “However they
