After a potential NCAA violation was reported in April 2011, an extensive investigation in the ISU athletic department was under review. While attending his son’s basketball game, ISU men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg noticed former ISU player and then-student coach Keith Moore in attendance, setting off a red flag of a potential violation for improper contact with a recruit. ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard was notified the next day. A thorough investigation in the days ahead revealed that Moore had sent 160 improper text messages. This brought another question to mind for those investigating. “’Well, if he was sending texts, has our system missed that other coaches might be sending texts?’” said Tim Day, faculty athletics representative, at the Athletic Council’s monthly meeting on Tuesday. A search for an answer revealed a problem with improper text messages wasn’t among coaches, but Day said repeated phone calls to a recruit within a week brought up more questions. Pretty quickly, Day said, it was determined that the problem rested more with not logging phone calls where no contact was made with a recruit or when a message was left. “That was a moment that we had to say, ‘What are we going to do with this?’” Day said. “Trying to look at the extent we had to kind of keep broadening.” The investigation broadened by expanding past just men’s basketball stemming from the Moore incident. Eventually phone records from all 18 sports at Iowa State were vetted.

CAMPUSTOWN uses new guest policies Wristbands will go into effect Thursday By Charles.O’Brien @iowastatedaily.com New temporary security measures are being put in place at properties owned by Campustown Property Management this week for Veishea. Campustown Property Management, which owns properties including Legacy Towers and Cyclone Plaza, is enacting a new wristband policy for all of its residents living at their 22 properties and their guests starting Thursday and going through the end of Veishea. Residents and their guests will be required to wear a wristband, which will allow them to enter the apartment building. Each resident is allowed to have up to three guests. The guests and residents have to go to the Campustown Property Management office and register.

‘Iowa Nice’ comes to campus By Tedi.Mathis @iowastatedaily.com At the Veishea Opening Ceremony and Awards on Tuesday night, Scott Siepker spoke about his memories of Iowa State and what Veishea means to him. An ISU alumnus, Siepker helped found Iowa Filmmakers and starred in its films “Iowa Nice,” “Cyclone Nice” and “Hawkeye Nice.” These videos have gone viral on YouTube and have helped to fix misconceptions about Iowa. Siepker recounted his first acting class at Iowa State and how that led to his career today, as well as many other ISU memories, such as taking a swim through Lake LaVerne and emceeing
Varieties. “Eventually as I was going through all this, all these mental fun memories, I got to the Veishea memories,” Siepker said. “For me, Veishea means campus; that’s what it means to me.” Siepker explained that Veishea is not only vital to the ISU campus, but also to the Ames community. “Veishea is stronger, it’s healthier, it’s better. That makes Iowa State stronger, healthier, better. It makes Ames stronger, healthier, better,” Siepker said. A concern Siepker addressed was the reputation Veishea has gained, though he said this was a problem that ISU students had the potential to solve. “Veishea, as we know, un-
fortunately and wrongly, has a perception issue,” Siepker said. “So the only way that can change is if you all get out there and use whatever medium you possibly have to spread the word about what Veishea really is, which is a heck of a good time.” The event was emceed by Senior Vice President of Student Affairs Tom Hill. Also speaking at the ceremony was President Steven Leath through a short video, as he could not be present. He encouraged students to enjoy the traditions of Veishea while remaining safe. “I will be joining you for many Veishea activities late this week,” Leath said. “We especially appreciate all you do to ensure that Veishea continues to be a safe activity
