Extractions: S T O W E C O M M U N I T Y By Michael Schaefer Bo don't know Stowe. But when the blues legend swings into town Friday for an evening of rollicking on stage with his guitar, Bo will get to know Stowe and vice-versa. For entire generations of rock 'n' roll fans who groove to George Thorogood's rendition of "Who do you Love?" and anything Elvis rocked in the late 1950's, here's a greeting from Bo: "I want everyone to know that I'm the originator." Diddley is rock and blues history incarnate where it started and where it went. With classics from the 50's that have transcended the ages such as "Bo Diddley," "I'm a Man," "Hush Your Mouth," "Who Do You Love?" and "Pretty Thing," his place in popular music consciousness is assured. So is his place in the annals of music history he was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy at the 1998 Grammy Awards Ceremony. His list of achievements and honors and his recognition from his peers is so extensive it should make him blush, but it doesn't. "I'm more than a legend. I'm an icon, man."

http://www.stuorg.iastate.edu/mayas/

Extractions: The Mexican-American Young Achievers Society (MAYAS) was established in 1989 by a group of students that decided there was a need for an organization on campus that would promote Mexican-American culture in a positive manner. With Jaime Hernandez, this group of students decided upon the name: The Mexican-American Young Achievers Society, or MAYAS. Although MAYAS originally started out with a group of Mexican- Americans, we embrace all cultures and races at ISU and invite everyone to participate in our organization. When joining this organization, you will actively participate in the planning and implementation of events that share our culture with the rest of Iowa State University. Some current events are Hispanic Heritage Month, MAYAS' Fun Run, and various guest speakers and panels. You will meet students and hear and learn about experiences they may have gone through. MAYAS does numerous activities with ISU, the Ames community, and various schools around the state. Being part of MAYAS is the best way to be involed with a group of students who take pride in their heritage and are proud to share it. Be a part of this great experience while here at Iowa State University.

Extractions: Home Misson Statement Board of Education Superintendent's ... Comment Form Social Studies How can we know where we are going if we do not know where we have been? This is the theme of the upper grade social studies program. By studying history we encourage students to be knowledgeable, active, and productive citizens. The middle school social program strives to graduate students who are cognizant of the world and possess a global perspective. The classroom instructional program is relevant, student centered, meaningful, and designed to engage students in learning activities that capture their interest and relate historic facts and events to current events and civics. Engaging students in activities that encompass information provided via the Internet, Current Events magazine, and other media accomplish this. Using current events as the focal point, students engage in discussion, pursue related research, and prepare and present written and oral presentations. The study of government is accomplished by engaging students in a variety of educational experiences. Upper grade students are exposed to the voting process, first through in-class elections of officers, and then through the use of a regulation voting machine in the election of student government representatives. This initiative culminates in a day spent with borough officials followed by a mock commissioners meeting held for the public.
