The 100-year anniversary:

Finkenauer wins battle for U.S. House

We will remember Americans’ sacrifices in World War I

Duhawks and community members honor our nation’s veterans during the Loras College Choir Showcase by ALEX RHOMBERG staff writer

“We will remember them” were the words spoken by many last Thursday at the Loras College Choirs Showcase in Christ The King chapel. Many knew it was Veterans Day on Thursday, but to some, it is nothing less than Armistice Day. One-hundred years ago, on Nov. 11, at the 11th hour, the First World War came to an end with the signing of an armistice. A war that had brought senseless killing and death to many had finally come to a close. Loras chose to offer up a concert in commemoration to the 100th anniversary of the end of this Great War, and as a way to honor those who had fallen. In talking with Jeremiah Cawley, the director of the show, he said “The 100 years only comes around once you know. For me, having lived in the United Kingdom

They shall grow not old As we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them Nor the year condemn At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them.

Catch up on recent politics and the recent midterm election results. by TINO MAHOMVA staff writer

On Tuesday, Nov. 6, the midterm elections were held across the country. This area had a heated congressional race between U.S. Rep. Rod Blum, the Republican incumbent; his Democratic challenger Abby Finkenauer; and Troy Hageman, a Libertarian. They were vying for Blum’s seat in the house of representatives. Finkenauer won with 169,348 votes, beating Blum, who had 152,940 votes, and Hageman, who had 10,228 votes. At 29 years of age, Finkenauer is not only one of the youngest members in the U.S. House. Finkenauer also becomes the first Democrat to represent Iowa in Congress since 2015. This election had the highest turnout in 50 years with an estimated 113 million Americans coming out to vote. That’s a 31 million increase from the 2014 midterm elections that had 83 million votes.
