The ISU athletic department placed itself on two-year probation in November 2011, said it has or will invest more than $82,000 during the next three years in compliance and recruiting software and will impose call bans for various teams and coaches. The investigation began in April 2011 after ISU men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg became aware of improper contact with prospective recruits by coach Keith Moore while attending his son’s basketball game. That night Hoiberg notified ISU Athletic
Director Jamie Pollard of the potential violation. In addition to Moore, the report names current assistant football coaches Shane Burnham and Bill Bleil, former football assistant coaches Luke Wells and Bob Elliott and former assistant basketball coach Daniyal Robinson for acknowledging involvement.

Former FarmHouse member shares story By Ryan.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com
WOMAN WARRIOR TALKS ABOUT IRAQ
Coming out as a homosexual can be a difficult time for many. For one Iowa State student, coming out to his fraternity brothers resulted in a change in fraternities all together. Tyler Mootz, senior in music, and an openly gay man, left FarmHouse fraternity because members made him feel unaccepted. To become deactivated from a fraternity, the member must write a letter to the chapter. It must be read out loud in front of the chapter or another member must be chosen to read it. Mootz chose to read it in front of the entire chapter and declare his unspoken feelings about how he was treated. “I was never looking to be treated as the ‘gay guy,’ but rather like another brother. I should never have been afraid to tell any of you guys. You’re my brothers; I should have felt safest telling you,” Mootz said in his speech to deactivate from FarmHouse. “After greek getaway [in high school], I went to the recruitment events for FarmHouse; I liked the recruitment chairs and really hit it off,” Mootz said. He joined and moved into the house fall 2009, his freshman year. The second semester of freshman year, Mootz realized that he was gay. “I didn’t know I was gay, but I knew I

Blackboard outages Two unplanned outages have stopped ISU students from using Blackboard on two subsequent Sunday evenings: March 31 and April 5. The outages that users experienced during these times were not from Blackboard itself, but derived from an internal issue at ISU Information Technology offices. “During any outage, multiple ITS staff members are working feverishly to correct the problem, because we know users are being negatively impacted,” said Jim Twetten, director of academic technologies at Information Technology Services. –Daily staff

Iowa bill could hold parents, adults accountable for minors

Underage under debate Nominee By Stanley.Ihejirika @iowastatedaily.com Incidents have been reported all over Iowa of underage drinking going wrong and of teens drinking and driving. “I let my son go to a party that he told me was just a get-together of some friends. My son drank underage and got alcohol poisoning,” said Carmelita Collins, mother of a University of Iowa student. “I support this bill because adults and minors both have to learn to take responsibility for the actions they take. We as adults have to be more vigilant about what our children are doing up until they are [at] the age of adulthood,” Collins said.
