FOUR TO BE ADDED TO MEDIA WALL OF FAME
Four members of the media, who covered University of Iowa athletics over the past

They will be recognized on the eld during pre-game ceremonies.
The inductees are Phil Haddy, a member of the UI athletic staff for 41 years and
Iowas sports information director from 1993-2010; Chuck Schoffner, who covered
Iowa events for both United Press and the Associated Press (1972-05); Kevin Ev-
ans, sportswriter and sports editor at the Waterloo Courier (1965-2006), and John
Campbell, current sports director at KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids (1979-present).
Haddy joined the Iowa athletic staff as assistant sports information director in
1971. He became the third sports information director in school history in 1993. He
began a two-year phased retirement in 2010. Haddy joins former Iowa SIDs Eric
Wilson (1923-68) and George Wine (1968-93) as members of the Wall of Fame.
Schoffner began his career at United Press International (1972-79). He joined
the Associated Press as a sportswriter in 1979 and later served as AP Iowa sports
editor until his retirement in November, 2005. Schoffner continues to work as a
freelance writer, covering womens college basketball, the Drake Relays, NCAA
Track and Field Championships, and professional golf and auto racing events.
Campbell has been involved in sports broadcasting for 41 years, including the
last 32 years at KCRG. He was named sports director at KCRG-TV in June, 1979,
following a 10-year stint as a sports reporter for WBAY-TV in Green Bay, Wis.
Evans began his sports writing career at the Waterloo Courier in 1965, working

through ve coaching regimes, beginning with Ray Nagel. He covered Hawkeye

W. Brechler Press Box was in use following the Kinnick Stadium renovation. The
Wall of Fame, located in the media section of the press box, recognized individuals
who have covered Hawkeye football with integrity, accuracy and fairness over a
long period of time.

FERENTZ JOINS CHALLENGE
Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz and Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads
have joined forces with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership for
the 2011 Coaches Challenge. The Coaches Challenge runs
from Aug. 1-Nov. 21 and is a competition between Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas to see which state can recruit the most
mentors.
For three years, Kansas and Nebraska have competed in a
Coaches Mentoring Challenge, with Bo Pelini (Nebraksa),
Bill Snyder (Kansas State) and Turner Gill (Kansas) taking
part in the competition. Ferentz and Rhoads have joined the
competition this season.
According to The National Mentoring Partnership, there
are 15 million children in the nation in need of caring and
quality mentors. In Iowa, it is estimated that nearly 5,000
young people are currently in need of a mentor. Many of

lives, strengthen communities and foster civic engagement
through service and volunteering by supporting quality
mentoring services and by working to close the mentoring
gap in our state.
