Let Drake stand out among all the rest of the universities. Let the students lead with their hearts and fight for these people. That’s the real mission here. —LAW PROF. JAMES ALBERT PAGE 4
SECURITY REPORTS TRESPASS
1:31 p.m. Nov. 1
A female student reported she was sleeping in her room in the Goodwin-Kirk Residence Hall when she was awakened and observed a male looking under her bed. He appeared startled when she woke and ran out of the unlocked room. She did not recognize the male. 2:20 p.m. Oct. 10 Security responded to 1153 24th St. based on report of a seizure. Upon arrival, the student stated he has medical issues that cause the seizure. He stated he was OK. A friend and security saw him to the American Republic Health Center.
12:08 p.m. Oct. 22 It was determined there was a burglary at 1514 29th St. and two males were suspects. One male was stopped but there was not sufficient evidence at the time to hold him. A witness advised a short time later that it was the person the officer had stopped. A warrant was put out for his arrest.
9:40 a.m. Oct. 25 A male was advised on trespass after complaints about his presence in different buildings on the campus. His conforming to acknowledged standards was in doubt. 1:49 a.m. Oct. 27 A security officer observed a male and female walking in the 3200 block of Forest Avenue. The female was having a hard time walking and stumbled, fell, and ended up walking in the middle of the street. The officer stopped the two and the female had slurred speech and poor motor skills that indicated she just might be intoxicated. The male who did not appear to be intoxicated saw her to her nearby residence. The dean of students was notified. 2:45 p.m. Oct.28 Two students reported mail
being opened when they received it at Ross Residence Hall. There was nothing missing from the envelopes. A third student reported $50 was missing from an envelope she had received. A police report was filed. 12:30 a.m. Oct. 29 Security responded to the west side of the Olmsted Center based on report of a male who appeared to have passed out and gotten up and was stumbling around. The underage-for-drinking male who was not associated with the university appeared to be intoxicated. Police were called and the subject was arrested for intoxication. 10:42 a.m. Oct. 29 A female student reported she had her purse stolen from her vehicle while it was parked in an off campus parking lot
located in the 1300 block of 31st Street between 2 and 11 a.m. on Oct. 29. 1:01 a.m. Oct. 31 A resident assistant at Herriott Residence Hall advised that light shades and light bulbs were found damaged at two different times throughout the evening. 1:50 p.m. Nov. 2 A male student reported his iPod was stolen from his room in Stalnaker Residence Hall that may or may not have been unlocked on the afternoon of Oct. 27. 4:01 p.m. Nov. 2 A male staff member was backing his vehicle out of a Drake parking lot located in the 2900 block of University Avenue when he struck a fire hydrant. There was only a scrape on the hydrant and
minimal damage to the vehicle. 1:43 a.m. Nov. 4 Security and the fire department responded to Ross Residence Hall based on a fire alarm. There was no smoke or fire but it was determined that a male had pulled the pull alarm. He and his male companion ran north on 32nd Street, according to a witness. 8:00 a.m. Nov. 5 Two male students advised that they had money stolen from their wallets in their unlocked rooms in Herriott Residence Hall between 6:15 and 7:15 a.m. on Nov. 5. 10:35 a.m. Nov. 5 A male student reported an empty 50 gallon trash container was blown against his vehicle causing minimal damage.
Free International Film Festival hosted tonight by Sonya Brauchle
Staff Writer sonya.brauchle@drake.edu
The Center for Global Citizenship and the International Students Association is sponsoring an International Film Festival this Thursday, Nov. 11 at Bulldog Theater in lower Olmsted. The event is being held as a part of the Center for Global Citizenship’s International Film series and also coincides with the International Students Association’s international week. The festival is free and open to the public. The ISA encourages students to wear masks and dress for a masquerade ball. Earlier this year the two organizations teamed up to show a Bollywood film, but this time they are going European with “The
Other Boleyn Girl.” According to the Internet Movie Database “The Other Boleyn Girl” is a “sumptuous and sensual tale of intrigue, romance and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in European history: two beautiful sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn (played by Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson), driven by their family’s blind ambition, compete for the love of the handsome and passionate King Henry VIII.” Darcie Vandegrift is the interim director of the Drake University Center for Global Citizenship and associate professor of sociology. She said ISA chose the film to represent British film because of how fast-paced and highly dramatic it is. “I like to see [British films] as both a fun, guilty pleasure and a way to ask the question of
how screenwriters and directors turn history into cinema,” Vandegrift said. “We can both swoon at the costumes and enjoy the melodrama while also asking if this is the only way to tell the story of the Boleyn sisters.” Vandegrift said the event is designed to be an entertaining look at global cinema, and it also works to get students involved and interested in ISA and CGS. However, it is not the only way to get involved in the international organizations on campus. “We have an exciting lineup next semester, including a co-sponsored exhibit and lecture series on young adults in urban China in the Cowles Reading Room, a lecture series by visiting international natural and social scientists as well as humanities scholars and another international film series that looks at war and
conflict from a global perspective,” Vandegrift said. The Center for Global Citizenship is devoted to educating students to “function effectively in different cultural contexts, and to see their own culture from the perspective of others. The Center also works to ensure that global perspectives and issues are an integral part of the intellectual and cultural experience of all members of the Drake community.” The International Film Festival is a great way to get involved and get a dose of global perspective while enjoying an entertaining film. By examining the cultural contexts with other interested students you can truly get a cultural experience right here at Drake.

ACTIVIST MARK RUDD gave a lecture to Drake students and faculty about his involvement as a student in the 1960s protesting policies held by Columbia University.

Also from the African-American student’s perspectives, Rudd said it seemed as though he and his counterparts were rebelling against their own parents, whereas the African-American students were carrying on their parents’ burdens. “What they told us humbled us,” Rudd said. After the book reading, Rudd opened the room for conversation, during which music, capitalism, grassroots movements, power re-
alignments, historical milestones and Rudd’s life on the lam were all discussed. Throughout the entire speaking engagement, Rudd placed special emphasis on the importance of community organizing and its role in the major movements of American history. “I would eventually like community organizing to be a subject, a major, much like business management, only this would be a social utility,” Rudd said. The biggest message Erin Schroeder, junior, received from Rudd’s visit was, “If you want to make a change, organize.”
the competition and completed a 20-minute presentation that won them second-place in the nation, only being beat out by Washington State University College of Pharmacy. The team attributes its success to the dedication of its adviser, Renae Chesnut, associate professor of pharmacy practice, along with many others. “The Drake community really came together for us,” Tori Erxleben said. “Everything about our plan, from the business description to the legal requirements, insurance, security, marketing plan, all of our finances, everything you need to submit a plan was spot on,” Gau said. The community and curriculum were helpful to the Drake students. “The last few years, Drake has really been pushing the entrepreneurial side of pharmacy,” Ryan Nimtz said. “They do a really good job encouraging us to get involved in different aspects of entrepreneurship. They really push the joint degrees, which does a good job separating us from other schools.” This experience also helped the four Drake students dream of their own futures in the field of community pharmacy.

FROM BATTLE, PAGE 1 “We had a practice party the week before where we worked on sample problems and hung out,” Olson said. “Also, while the problems can be very difficult, I enjoy the feeling of satisfaction you get when your program compiles and does what it’s supposed to do. It’s an awesome feeling of accomplishment.” The Battle of the Brains competition was not short on fun or hard work. All four Drake teams successfully completed at least one of four programming problems, and one team correctly answered four. All the questions were based on real world scenarios, such as pandemic disease spread. Olson believes it’s important for computer science students to partake in the competition for experience. “So many times when we program we have
the Internet to look up code, or we have the availability of a professor to ask questions,” Olson said. “To attempt to write a program to solve difficult problems without those resources will make you a better programmer.” Battle of the Brains was a chance for students to apply what they’re learning in class without the pressure of earning a good grade. “I think it is a good exercise for computer science students because it forces you to critically approach a problem and find a correct solution quickly and efficiently,” said science major Andy Johnson. “It is a very good exercise in the application of the knowledge learned in class.” If you’re a computer science student, be sure to congratulate your fellow students on their hard work last Saturday and don’t hesitate to participate in the competition next year.

“This experience let me envision what my ideal practice would be, and someday I hope to model my practice around it and expand to include all my patients–furry and non-furry,” Katie McDonald said. The team earned its Drake chapter of the National Community Pharmacy Association a financial award. The student chapter was presented $2,000 and another $2,000 donation went to the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences dean’s office. The money will be used to further Drake’s focus on promoting entrepreneurship and community pharmacies. “This is definitely all about that, it’s about starting your own business and making your own decisions,” Erxleben said. Winning second place among 35 schools didn’t fully hit the students right away. “I didn’t realize myself how big of a deal it was until we got back and heard feedback from our professors,” Gau said. While there, the Drake team became renowned for its impressive performance. “We even had feedback from people on elevators in the hotel telling us how well we did,” Erxleben said.
