Each Friday morning a black cloud looms over Drake University, soaking The Times-Delphic with the column Animals and Angels. Amid the excitement surrounding the Drake Relays, fans often forget about the athletes representing the host school. This year, members of the Drake University men's and women's track teams quietly competed to respectable finishes in a number of events.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Teachers come and go in universities. Many stay for a handful of years, some stay for decades, and some work only one semester. Drake professors Mike Barton, Todd Fuller and LouAnn Simpson represent faculty members who are retiring, visiting and planning to continue their many years of teaching. Each one has a different story to tell, and each finds a lot to love about Drake University. A new school year is fast approaching, and in the fall, the Board of Student Communication will be filled with new student leaders.
