Every day, thousands of Iowa State University students walk past what has become one of the University’s most iconic buildings, Catt Hall. With its older style of architecture and design, most people would agree that it is more visually appealing than most of the buildings at Iowa State. This building also has a lot of history behind it. From its multiple name changes and landscaping additions, to all of the different services it has provided for the University over the years, and how it is a symbol of women’s history, Catt Hall has become an essential part of Iowa State and really set itself apart from the other buildings on Iowa State’s campus.

Elijah J. McCoy was born on May 2, 1844, in Colchester, Ontario, Canada. He was an inventor and engineer who were known for his 51 U.S. patents. His patents had most to do with lubrication of steam engines. McCoy returned to the U.S. in 1847 where he became a U.S. citizen.

But the most famous legacy McCoy left his country was his name; Elijah McCoy’s can be seen at the National Inventors Hall of

McDaniel College had first been created when its first building went up in 1866-1867. The school was the first institution that was south of the Mason-Dixon line and was coeducational. The first name that the school had was Western Maryland. That name originated because the institutions first board chairman (John Smith Wakefield) was president of the railroad, which had been called Western Maryland Railroad. The railroad had run through the college town. McDaniel had been one of forty colleges in the nation to be recognition in the New York Times education writer Loren Pope’s book, “Colleges That Change Lives” ("World Ranking Guide”). The schools colors are green and gold and the mascot is a Green Terror. There are about 1,629 students

Coalwood, West Virginia was originally built as a mining town due to the large amounts of coal beneath the surface. From the beginning, this company town thrived under the belief that the town was for the mine. Without the mine, the town would cease to exist as the mine provided each family, with a working man, a house. No mine, no job, no house, and consequently, no town.

According to his article, “The Battle Against Fast Food Begins In The Home”, the author, columnist and blogger Daniel Weintraub, argues parents, not fast-food companies or the government are responsible for their child's health and well being. Weintraub supports this claim by providing data from the Center For Public Health Advocacy on the subject of overweight schoolchildren, State law recommendations outlining nutritional standards, and his own experience with the problem. Weintraub intends to convince or persuade the parents or parent to accept the blame for their overweight child. From my standpoint, however, it is clear the

Lane Community College has an opportunity to promote voting in Oregon when approximately a quarter of eligible folks in the state are unregistered.

And, not only will more students participate in elections throughout the state, they will also have funds and time reallocated to campus-specific campaigns that were previously spent on student organization voter registration efforts.

Matt Lamkin’s “A Ban On Brain-Boosting Drugs is Not the Answer” first appeared in Chronicle of Higher Education in 2011. In this essay Lamkin aims to convince his reader not to deter improper conduct with threats, but to encourage students to engage in the practice of education. Lamkin tells us “If colleges believe that enhancing cognition with drugs deprives students of the true value of education, they must encourage students to adapt that value as their own” (642). Appeal to logic, consistency, and compare/contrast are techniques Lamkin skillfully uses to create a strong effective essay.

If you were to see Rocky for the first time and you were anything like most people, you would be overcome by a feeling of repugnancy and disgust. This is because he is a homeless person. His real name is Jack but people call him “Rocky” because of his 6’2” body and his somewhat larger than normal muscles. He doesn’t have the body of any average man. The combination of his light green eyes, his long brown beard, and his long mocha hair falling down from his winter hat, which he wears in every season, reminds me of a depiction of Jesus. But that’s just pure physical appearance. Most of the time, the hair around the rim of his mouth is covered by whatever food he just ate. Sometimes it’s white rice, sometimes it’s powder like that

The investment banker commented that Blaine was “over-liquid and under-levered” due to the fact that Blaine was debt-free and also held $231 million in cash, a 39% of its total assets. The pros of this type of capital structure are that it gives the company more freedom when making business decision and disturbing its cash. And the company with more liquidity reacts quicker under an economic or industry hardship. The cons of this type of capital structure are that it is wasting the potential of expanding its business by leveraging/borrowing. Too large of a cash position also signal waste as the funds are generating very little return as well as make the company a takeover target. The shareholders generally expect the company

In Fielding’s Joseph Andrews you see a variety of characters. They range from the shallow, vain and proud characters like Lady Booby and Mrs. Slipslop to the innocent, sincere, and virtuous like Joseph and Fanny. The presence of Lady Booby, and all of the people like her that are portrayed in the same selfish and dishonest way, bring out the importance of the clergy. Most of the clergy that we meet in the story don’t fit our vision of “holy people”. They didn’t fit Fielding’s vision either. Parson Adams is the only character that represents what Fielding considers to be the proper role for the clergy. He believes that the proper role for the clergy is that they should give moral guidance and they should be virtuous and
