Seniors want traditions beyond football parties. Drake football begins quest for fifth straight PFL title. In response to the urban neighborhood surrounding Drake, the University helped form the Drake Neighborhood Improvement Task Force in January 1997, composed of Drake faculty and students. The project was also formed with the help of the mayor's office, the police chief's staff and the city manager's department. The task force's purpose is to help improve the neighborhood around Drake through events and commercial intervention.
