Rape report filed IUPD called after an offcampus fraternity event Friday morning From IDS reports

An incident of rape was reported as occurring in an off-campus apartment early last Friday morning, according to an IU Police Department statement. The incident took place between midnight and 3 a.m. at an apartment on South Walnut Street during a fraternity recruiting event, according to the statement. IUPD was called to meet the victim at IU Health Bloomington Hospital, where it was initially believed the incident occurred at a fraternity. The department later determined the incident occurred at a private residence. A 19-year-old suspect has been identified and contacted by IUPD. The victim and suspect are both IU students and met for the first time at the party. The victim said in the statement the incident occurred after moving to a quieter area in the apartment. IUPD is actively investigating the incident. No arrests have been made, and IUPD has not yet formally interviewed the suspect. It is unknown what fraternity sponsored the recruitment event.

Wilson discusses tempo of IU offense

District, the civil rights icon, spoke with students and faculty about his graphic novel.

After the third quarter Saturday, IU led Western Kentucky 38-28. After spending much of the game in hurry-up offense and pushing the defensive front seven to exhaustion, the Hoosiers began to give the ball to junior running back Jordan Howard. With neither team having recorded a drive of more than five minutes, IU continued to run the ball 18 times and passed just three times. It chunked two, five-minute drives (5:05 and 5:59) to limit WKU to 1 1/4 drive and solidify its lead, 38-35. “I said, ‘Do you think the no-huddle hurts your defense?’” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said about a meeting with an NFL defensive coach. “He says, ‘No, not really. ... But what really hurts the defense is the teams that can play at different gears. If you’re just a huddle team, if you’re just a nohuddle team, when you can do both, that’s harder to prepare for.’” The Hoosiers ran a mix of no-huddle and huddle offenses throughout Saturday, after running an up-tempo style of offense the first two weeks. This allowed the balance in the offense that senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld said he likes. “We really used the run to open up the pass and the pass to help with the run,” Sudfeld said. “That balance really helped us later in the game.” Wilson said the Hoosiers practice tempo during the week. “We found instead of standing at SEE IUFB, PAGE 5

Isom completes U.S. Army ROTC program By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich

Larry Isom is a finisher. As director of facilities for Residential Programs and Services, he’s the one people call to get things done. He sees projects through and advises the students he works with to complete their educations. So when asked, “Did you ever not finish anything?” there was only one thing Isom said came to mind. Isom had never gotten the chance to finish his time in ROTC. In 1958, Isom left IU after three and a half years to join the United States Army with his twin brother. He was just a semester short of graduating from the ROTC fouryear program. “This has always been on his list to complete,” IU Police Department Capt. Greg Butler said. “He’s the type of individual that leaves nothing undone.” On Monday, the 57th anniversary of his enlistment in the Army, Isom was presented a certificate of completion for having met all requirements of the IU Army ROTC program. In a small gathering at IU’s ROTC offices, Butler read a letter from IU President Michael McRobbie. “It is clear that the time you

Twenty-six years ago on a cold February morning, Tom graduated from the Armor Officer Basic Course in Fort Knox, Kentucky, and Larry was there. Then Tom served in Iraq, and Larry supported his nephew. “He’s been there ever since for my career,” Tom said. “He mailed so
