Anderson and Peterson decided to begin the grant program by distributing $18,000 in student activity fees left over from the Safewalk program. The Safewalk program was a program in which students could call a designated number any time, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and two people (one male and one female) would pick them up and walk with them to their destination. The program was discontinued during the academic year of 2003-2004 due to under-use. One of the main problems was a lack of an institutional home for the program, and an inability for UISG to sustain the program. In the academic year of 2006 to 2007, the number of reported sexual assaults drastically increased. According to the Department of Public Safety's website, there were eleven sexual assaults in 2003, nine in 2004, and five in 2005. The Gazette reported that between Sep. 2006 and Aug. 2007, there were 27 sexual assaults in Iowa City. Given that this number refers only to sexual assaults by strangers, and that sexual assaults are notoriously underreported, this increase was both striking and frightening. As a result, in the spring of2007, Anderson and Peterson campaigned on taking action to improve safety for university students, especially in regards to sexual assaults. They received widespread support for their ideas, including the idea to establish a UISG Safety Grant Program to distribute the $18,000 left over from the Safewalk program. Anderson and Peterson began the grant program in the summer of2007, and they envisioned it to be a five-year project, with $18,000 distributed the first year, and $10,000 distributed each year for the next four years. Due to the problems faced by the Safewalk program, it was evident that any programs established needed an institutional home whereby staff who specialized in the issue of safety the program dealt with could oversee the program's continuity. The money was intended to only go toward groups, organizations, services, or agencies affiliated with the University ofIowa. For more information, please refer to the grant application form below. UISG Safety Grant Application Form The University of Iowa Student Government Safety Grants will be given to programs that directly improve safety for UI students. Given recent events on the UI campus, priority will be given to programs directed toward sexual assault. However, applications for programs aimed at other aspects of student safety will also be welcomed. Please remember that submission of this application does not guarantee funding. A committee of students representing the University ofIowa Student Government will review the submissions and allocate the funds based on how feasible the proposal is as well as how well the proposal addresses the issue of student safety for University of Iowa students. Please return this application to the Office of Student Life, 145 IMU by 4:00 pm on Monday, October 15th. Applications will not be accepted after this time.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Attachments: 2007CostofDoingBusiness 1 .pdf; StateData2007CostofDoingBusiness 1 .pdf ~:'\ . .l'~:: /Ail<llt ~~ ~ Governor Chet Culver << Lt. Governor Patty Judge FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 17, 2007 Contact: Shawn Rolland (515) 242-4805 IOWA RANKS NUMBER TWO NATIONALLY IN "COST OF DOING BUSINESS" RANKING IS THE STATE'S BEST-EVER RANKING IN THE HISTORY OF THE STUDY. (Des Moines) In a report issued by the Milken Institute, a nonpartisan economic think tank, Iowa ranked second in the nation in "Cost-of-Doing-Business," the state's highest ranking in the history of the study. "This study sends a strong nationwide message to entrepreneurs and business owners considering Iowa: the time is now," said Governor Chet Culver. "There has never been a better time to start or expand a business in Iowa. The people of Iowa enjoy a rich business environment, plentiful job opportunities and a quality of life that is second to none." "This is one more example of why Iowa is a great place for business," said Iowa Department of Economic Development Director Mike Tramontina. "Studies like this help our efforts to aggressively recruit companies to locate and expand in Iowa." The Institute's Cost-of-Doing-Business Index indicates each state's comparative advantages or disadvantages in attracting and retaining businesses. Each state is measured on the five individual categories: state's tax burden, electricity costs, industrial rent costs, office rent costs and wage costs. Those weighted scores are compiled to make the overall index. An index score of 1 100 means that the state is equal to the U.S. average in that particular category. In 2005, Iowa ranked third in the nation. In 2006, the state ranked fourth.

Subject: A special C-SPAN event for you or your friends, at the Hoover Presidential Library Dear Mayor Ross Wilburn and City Leaders in Iowa City: I am writing a note to be sure you are aware of a special documentary series that examines the modern presidency and begins at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch. C-SPAN, the public affairs network created by the cable television industry, is launching a unique series, Presidential Libraries: History Uncovered. In cooperation with the National Archives, this series will unveil rare and unseen documents and recordings from all 12 of our nation's presidential libraries. Because this special series begins nearby in West Branch, we at Mediacom Communications want you to be aware of this C-SPAN program ... plus arrangements we put in place for a special on-site viewing. We want to extend an invitation for you or other interested individuals to attend a live screening at the Hoover Presidential Library Auditorium. In working with Library officials and the C-SPAN staff, we have made arrangements to show the program on the auditorium's big screen as it is being filmed and broadcast live to the nation Friday evening. Timothy Walch, the director of the Hoover Presidential Library-Museum, will be a featured presenter as he shares rare campaign films and interviews that illustrate both Hoover's strengths and his weaknesses, especially as a public communicator. Mr. Walch and others will be available at the program's conclusion to meet or take questions from guests. Consider your interest and availability to watch the Hoover Presidential Library documentary on site Friday night. I regret the late notice, but the opportunity a~ose and it just may work for some people (and feel free to share this invitation with colleagues or friends). The details below are for both the live screening event at the Hoover Library Auditorium, and broadcast times for home viewing on C-SPAN. Please share with others. Presidential Libraries: History Uncovered -- C-SPAN explores the public and private sides of Herbert C. Hoover, America's 31st president.
