Interviewed by Emily Notturno & Max Chorpash<br />
<br />
LouAnn Simpson was born and raised in Lakefield, MN, a small town of about 500 people. She was recruited by Drake University during her junior year of high school. After visiting, she decided Drake was the right place for her, and she enrolled for the fall semester of 1961.While at Drake University pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Business, she lived in the Carpenter Residence Hall, and was involved in the Newman Society and the Carpenter judicial board. After graduating with a degree in Accounting, she continued her education at the Drake University Law School, where she received her law degree in 1968. She then began practicing law in Des Moines, IA, until about 5 years later when her favorite accounting professor (the Dean of the business school at that time) contacted her, desperately in need of business law professor. She accepted the offer and fell in love with teaching, so she left her law practice. Simpson has held positions such as assistant dean, associate dean, interim vice president of advancement, and currently holds the position of Faculty Senate President. While holding these different positions throughout the years, she has never left the classroom, “In the grand scheme of things, at the end of the day I still love teaching, I’m glad I gave up the practice to teach, I’m glad I practiced law for as long as I did, I’m glad I’ve had all the experiences I’ve had, I wouldn’t trade that variety of experience for anything.”<br />

InterviewedBy: Bergen Quaerna and Nicole Barnett<br />
<br />
Ruth Anne Petrak was born and raised in Des Moines Iowa. She attended Oak Park elementary school, Harding junior high, and North high school. She graduated early her senior year and started attending Drake University during the second semester. Petrak never lived on Drake’s campus, throughout her college career she lived in her parent’s home, and eventually her and her, now, ex-husband’s house. Upon entering Drake she didn’t have any career aspirations at the time. She described herself as a generalist; she wants to know about everything and anything. During her junior year registration process she decided to check out the journalism major where she met Robert Bliss. He was the “whole show of the journalism school” she said, and he convinced her to become apart of the journalism major. In order to be in journalism, she said you have to know something about a lot of different subjects. At Drake she was apart of Town Girls, an organization for girls who live off campus. She also worked on the Times-Delphic as an editor. Her first job outside of Drake was at the Des Moines Register, in the woman’s department. It was a section that held feature stories on beauty advice, recipes, and childcare tips and held an advice column. Ruth was the advice column’s editor and marketing editor, she was also in charge of going to find feature stories, with a photographer in all of Iowa.<br />
<br />
After she left the Register she started a family and began to become a freelance writer and a mother. She also edited publishing materials for an English professor; and found the job through Robert Bliss, her former professor. Now she is not as involved on campus; she comes back meet with the Ray Society, and she comes to see speakers and performers at Olmstead, Old Main, or Sheslow. Since her retirement, she is more involved in things outside of Drake. Ruth Anne Petrak remains active at her church, the Democratic Iowa caucus, Planned Parenthood, and she was one of the advocates to get homosexuality implemented into the Book of Discipline for the Methodist religion. Ruth describes herself, as a life long learner, her advice for the seniors of 2012, was to never stop learning.<br />

<div>=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cowles Library - 1967 Building Addition</span>= <br />
===<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Originally submitted by Max Chorpash, Drake University, Fall 2011</span>=== <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Updated June 2012 by Dr. Susan Fink</span><br />
<br />
<br />
==<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Brief History:</span>== <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In 1907 the Carnegie Library was formed in Carnegie Hall, and this was the first official library on campus. It wasn't until 1937 that the library was renamed what it is today, Cowles Library. The building addition came in 1967 when the library grew in size and was completely redone. In 1969 two new features of the library were created. The Science Periodicals Room, which stored books and journals on the basic science and math subjects, was added to the southeast corner of the older part of Library. In addition, in 1969, the Browsing Section contained about 600-900 books that were added. </span><br />
<br />
==<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1967 Addition:</span>== <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On May 7, 1967 Cowles Library expanded the original building with an additional 66,000 square feet, which was nearly triple the space of the old facility. This new space allowed for 1,400 students to be seated in the library as opposed to 300 students in the old one. The new addition was built in a "U" shape around the east, north and west sides and the main entrance faced Carpenter Avenue. The addition included individual study nooks which provided places that students could study and have their own personal workspace. Also, the glass-enclosed study room on the 2nd floor was designated as a smoking room. This was the only smoking friendly room in the library, but one of the many study lounges in the library at this time. In fact, each floor had numerous amounts of lounge study areas that were student friendly. In addition, there were open stacks and this made finding books and volumes extremely easy to students.</span><br />
<br />
==<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Renovation Projects:</span>== <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A renovation of the building began in 1993 with new lighting, carpet, paint, and furnishing. In 2000, the Reading Room received a much needed renovation which included fixing windows and repairing water damaged walls. Also, the hallway that leads into the reading room, was expanded and made bigger, and made into a commons area.</span><br />
<br />
==<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2009 - Cowles Cafe added</span>== <br />
The library added a cafe that proudly serves <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Starbucks and serves a variety of food and drinks.</span><br />
<br />
==<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2012 - After Hours Renovation</span>== <br />
[[File:lc-200.png|left]]In May of 2012, renovation of the lower level of the original building which housed the cafe went under renovation. The area will include an update to the cafe, addition of an after hours entrance, modern group and individual study area and restrooms in the area. This study space will be available during the regular library hours as well as available after the library closes. Construction began on May 21. Current plans call for the area to be available for the start of classes for Fall 2012. The Library is maintaining a [http://purpose.library.drake.edu/facility/lower-commons/ project website] that has regular updates -- including photos and videos -- of the construction process.<br />
<br />
==<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gardner Cowles Sr.</span>== <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It isn't possible to talk about the library without talking about the man who started it all, Gardner Cowles Sr. Cowles was born in 1861 in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and was already facing some rough times when his mother died when he was at the young age of 12. He went to college at William Penn in Oskaloosa, and was interested in the arts and journalism. In 1903, Cowles received a call from Harvey Ingham and asked if he would partner in a newspaper called The Des Moines Register and Leader that was deep in debt. Cowles agreed, and the newspaper ended up doing very well, and he and Ingham ended up being very wealthy men. In 1937, Gardner Cowles Sr. gave a 185,000 dollar donation to the library, and in return it was named after him. Still today the library remains named after him, and after many renovations remains standing today.</span></div>Cowleshttps://drakeapedia.library.drake.edu/w/index.php?title=Cowles_Library_-_1967_Building&diff=21447Cowles Library - 1967 Building2012-07-11T17:48:29Z<p>Cowles: Imported from Wikispaces</p>
