IOWA CITY – Iowa Memorial Union was home of over two dozen break dancers Saturday for the third ‘I Oughta Wreck Another’ (IOWA) Break Dancing Competition. Charlie Bui, Head Organizer of ‘I Oughta Wreck Another’ (IOWA), says this is a way of fostering hip hop culture in the Midwest, something he thought was fading when he came to the University of Iowa. Bui says the event has grown after each competition with Saturdays bringing 25 crew from all over the Midwest area (Chicago, Omaha, St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Ames, and Des Moines). The plan is to make the competition an annual event having it every fall. – Chris Blake
