Jack & Ailene Liechty Scholarship
James Hoak Scholarship
Bucky O’Connor Scholarship
Chuck Zwiener served as men’s golf coach at the University of Iowa from 1958 through 1989, coaching the Hawkeyes for 32 years. In his honor, family and friends established the Chuck Zwiener Scholarship in 1992, to be awarded each year to an outstanding member of the Iowa golf team. Upon taking over the Iowa program in 1958, Zwiener immediately led his first three Hawkeye teams into NCAA postseason action. During his tenure, Zwiener placed six players on the PGA tour, one of which went on to become a two-time PGA club winner of the year. Sixteen of Zwiener’s former players went on to become head PGA professionals at some of the finest golf courses in the state of Iowa. He also led the Hawkeyes to 10 first division finishes in the Big Ten and eight Hawkeyes earned All‑Big Ten honors. For further information, or to make a gift to the Zwiener Scholarship Fund, contact the UI Foundation, 500 Alumni Center, Iowa City, IA 52242.
The E.J. Liechty Scholarship, for men’s intercollegiate athletics, was established in 1995 by Ailene Liechty in memory of her husband, E.J. “Jack” Liechty. Since 1997, the annual scholarship has been awarded to a deserving student-athlete who is a member of the Iowa golf team. Jack Liechty was a devoted supporter of the University of Iowa, especially in the areas of athletics and arts. He was known for his humor and his willingness to lend a helping hand. Jack was a newspaperman all his life, entering the business in 1930 as the Iowa City circulation manager for the Des Moines Register. He joined the Iowa City Press-Citizen in 1934 as circulation manager, and went on to become president and publisher from 1962-1966. He was named president of Speidel Newspapers, Inc., the parent company of the Press-Citizen, in 1966. Jack retired in 1972, although he continued to serve on the executive committee until 1977, when Speidel merged with Gannett Co., Inc., the nation’s largest newspaper company. Over the years, Jack contributed to many projects across the University of Iowa campus, and in 1983 he received the Distinguished Friend Award from the UI Alumni Association. Jack died in 1994 at the age of 85. His son, John Liechty, was a second team All-American in 1958 and three-time golf letter winner for head coaches Bucky O’Connor and Chuck Zwiener. For further information, or to make a gift to the E.J. Liechty Scholarship Fund, contact the UI Foundation, P.O. Box 4550, Iowa City, IA 52242-4550.
The Bucky O’Connor Endowed Scholarship fund now endows both a basketball and golf scholarship at the University of Iowa. Since 1994, the scholarship provides a full ride, tuition, room, board and books for a member of the Iowa golf team. O’Connor coached the Iowa golf team from 1949‑56, and had a dual meet record of 39‑30‑4. His 1954 team placed second in the Big Ten tournament, and 11th in the NCAA meet. Also serving as Iowa’s basketball coach from 1951‑58, O’Connor directed his teams to a 108‑54 record, including two Big Ten championships and two NCAA Final Four appearances. O’Connor joined the Hawkeye staff in 1948 and coached the Hawkeyes until he was killed in an automobile accident in April, 1958. For further information, or to make a gift to the O’Connor Scholarship Fund, contact the UI Foundation, 500 Alumni Center, Iowa City, IA 52242.
The James M. Hoak Scholarship is designated for deserving student-athletes on the UI men’s golf team. Hoak is a 1940 graduate from the University of Iowa, former Des Moines businessman and currently resides in North Palm Beach, FL. Long-time friend, Clark A. Johnson and Hoak’s three sons, David A. Hoak (a 1968 UI business graduate), Jon S. Hoak and James M. Hoak Jr. made gift commitments to the UI Foundation to establish an endowed athletics scholarship fund in Hoak’s name. While at Iowa, James M. Hoak lettered in golf and roomed with UI football legend Nile Kinnick. Hoak attended the M.B.A. program at Harvard University in the early 1940’s and after service in the Navy during World War II, joined the family business, the Wheeler Lumber Company, headquartered in Des Moines. He served as the firm’s president for more than 20 years before retiring in 1985. Hoak and his wife, Jane, a 1941 UI graduate, have been UI supporters and volunteers for many years, and are members of the Presidents Club, which recognizes the UI’s most generous contributors. “Jim graduated from the university nearly 68 years ago, and I left campus in 1953, but neither of us has ever lost his enthusiasm for the university, and for its mission of equipping students with the tools to succeed in life after college,” said Johnson. “Jim’s been so important to the university over the years, and I wanted to do something to honor his love for the U of I while he and his family could enjoy and participate in that recognition.” “The James Hoak Scholarship represents a real win-win for the UI athletics program,” UI Athletics Director Gary Barta said. “The student-athletes who earn the Hoak Scholarship will have the distinction of knowing that their awards carry the name of one of our most loyal and generous graduates -- someone who knew Nile personally, and who represents the proud history and integrity of the UI athletics program.” Iowa’s new golf complex is the James M. Hoak Family Golf Complex.

Iowam e n’s golf gary barta at h l e t i c S director
The Barta family includes Connie, Madison, Gary and Luke.
Gary Barta enters his 10th year as the director of athletics at the University of Iowa riding momentum of recordsetting performances in every leg of the three-legged stool by which the Iowa Hawkeyes approach each day: Win. Graduate. Do it Right. A big picture view of the UI’s success in the “Win” category is provided by a review of the Hawkeyes’ performance in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition. The Hawkeyes completed the 2014-15 season with 535.50 points – the most points the UI has ever accumulated in the history of the competition. That point total resulted in a 44th place finish, the third-best recorded by the UI and its best since the 2004-05 athletics year. UI student-athletes continued to attack their work in the classroom – the “Graduate” leg of the Hawkeyes’ three-legged stool – with the same intensity as they pursue their opponents in competition: Iowa established a record for its NCAA Graduation Success Rate in 2014-15 while again achieving a perfect score in the NCAA’s Annual Progress Report. The “Do it Right” column was filled with successes as well. Under Barta’s leadership, the Hawkeyes continued their significant service and contribution to the greater Iowa City area community, took a leadership position in matters related to student-athlete welfare, and remained among the handful of intercollegiate athletics programs nationally that successfully operate in the black while also maintaining its status as 100 percent self-supporting. Iowa’s success in competition was highlighted by another postseason appearance by the UI football program and deep postseason runs by the UI’s wrestling, women’s basketball, and men’s gymnastics programs. The highlights include the following: • The Iowa football team advanced to its 12th postseason bowl game under the leadership of Kirk Ferentz. Thirteen Hawkeyes were named All-Big Ten, including Brandon Scherff, who was named the Big Ten’s Offensive Lineman of the Year,
became Iowa’s 22nd consensus All-American, and fourth Outland Trophy winner. • Lisa Bluder’s women’s basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time under its longtime head coach during a brilliant 26win season – a mark that included an 18-0 record in games played on Mediacom Court in Carver-Hawkeye Arena – and its highest national ranking (11th) since the 1995-96 season. Iowa is one of 10 teams nationally that has appeared in the last eight NCAA Tournaments. Four Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors, seven earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition, two garnered Academic All-America honors, and senior consensus All-American Samantha Logic became the second player in program history to be drafted in the first round of the WNBA Draft (10th selection, Atlanta Dream) and was the 12th to be drafted overall. • Tom Brands’ Iowa wrestling squad finished second at this year’s NCAA Tournament after sharing the Big Ten Conference tournament title and claiming another dual meet championship with a 9-0 record against conference opponents. The Hawkeyes had six wrestlers earn All-American status. • Fran McCaffery’s men’s basketball team registered the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory since 2001. The season also included a big road win at North Carolina during the nonconference portion of the schedule, in addition to a third-place finish in the Big Ten Conference. Three Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors, including first-team selection Aaron White, who also became the second Hawkeye in two years to be selected in the annual NBA Draft. • Rick Heller’s baseball program burst onto the national stage when it raced to its first appearance in a top 25 since 1990 – the program was 20th in the final rankings, the first appearance in the final poll in school history. The Hawkeyes won 41 games – the second-most all-time -- en route to the program’s first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 25 years. Six Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors, two Hawkeyes earned three All-America honors, and five players were selected in the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. • Under first-year head coach Tyler Stith, sophomore Carson Schaake became the third Big Ten individual champion in program history and the first since 1992. Stith guided Iowa to its seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance where the Hawkeyes finished a single stroke shy of advancing to the national championship. Two Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors and three were named to the Division I PING All-Midwest Regional Team. • Including Schaake of the UI’s men’s golf team, Iowa crowned eight Big Ten champions during the 2014-15 year: Dominic Patrick and Matt Hagan (men’s tennis, indoor doubles), Babatunde Amosu (track and field, indoor, triple jump),

The team’s score of 196.500 is the highest achieved by Iowa in conference championship action since 2004, and its fifth place team result is the program’s best finish since 2010. A school record four gymnasts were named to the Big Ten All-Championship Team, four earned Academic All-Big Ten distinction, and senior Sydney Hoerr was named second team All-Big Ten. • JD Reive’s UI men’s gymnastics squad made its second appearance in the NCAA championship in the last three seasons a grand one by upsetting fifth-ranked Illinois en route to a sixth-place national finish. The Hawkeyes were paced by junior Jack Boyle, who earned All-America honors on still rings, and season-high performances on the high bar and floor exercise. Eight Hawkeyes were named Academic All-Big Ten, and junior Doug Sullivan earned second team All-Big Ten honors. • Joey Woody’s debut season as head coach of the UI’s men’s and women’s track and field teams resulted in four Big Ten titles and 11 All-America honors. • Paced by a Big Ten champion and bolstered by eight record-setting performances at their conference championship meets, Marc Long’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams closed their season by scoring points at their respective national championships. • The 2014-15 year also marked the second straight season the Iowa’s women’s soccer team advanced to the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament. The Hawkeyes finished with 14 wins in 2014, including seven in conference play, tying the most in a single season in program history. Iowa’s “Wins” also occurred at the turnstiles, where the UI continued to lead the nation in attendance for home events of the Hawkeye wrestling program and be one of only eight programs in the country to rank in the Top 25 in attendance for football, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball. The UI also experienced sharp increases in spectator interest in baseball and volleyball in 2014-15. The 2014-15 year opened with affirmation of Iowa’s long-time commitment to the “Graduate” leg of Iowa’s three-legged stool and the student-athlete experience at the UI: In October, the NCAA reported that Iowa’s student-athletes had set a record by posting a score of 89 percent “Graduation Success Rate” or “GSR.” That mark was one point better than the previous year and seven points better than the national average. The NCAA also noted the UI had posted a federal graduation rate of 78 percent, which was also a record and in addition was 12 points better than the national average and tops among the three State of Iowa Board of Regents’ institutions.
Last May, the NCAA reported that all 24 of Iowa’s sports programs were comfortably above Academic Progress Rate (APR) threshold. The NCAA also singled out the UI’s volleyball, soccer, women’s swimming and diving, and men’s golf teams for ARP scores that ranked in the top 10 percent of their peer group. Of those four, volleyball, women’s swimming and diving, and men’s golf registered perfect scores of 1,000. The 2014-15 college basketball season ended not only with the UI being one of a handful of institutions nationally which had both of its program participate in their national championship, but also with the UI being the only school in the country with multiple academic All-Americans: Samantha Logic and Ally Disterhoft in women’s basketball and Mike Gesell in men’s basketball. The Hawkeyes also boasted an academic All-Americans in football (senior RB Mark Weisman), in addition to 153 academic All-Big Ten selections across its 24 sports programs. “Doing it Right” for Barta and the more than 225 staff of the UI Athletics Department is a charge that encompasses a long and varied list of responsibilities, including maintaining the department’s status as one of a handful of intercollegiate athletics programs nationally that successfully operates its sports programs and auxiliary enterprises in a fiscally responsible manner, and without any institutional or taxpayer financial support. The UI provides a superior experience for the more than 650 talented student-athletes who participate in the program annually, and the more than million friends and fans of the Hawkeyes and the UI who attend athletics events on the UI campus, while being responsible and productive citizens of the greater Iowa City and University of Iowa community. In 2015-16, Barta will be responsible for an annual operating budget that will exceed $90 million, with 100 percent of the revenue side of that budget be generated by the UI Athletics Department. The majority of that revenue will come as a result of success in traditional revenue sources: Income as a result of membership in the Big Ten Conference (including television), sales of tickets to events on the UI campus, and donations to the National I-Club. The latter has grown into a critical piece of the financial pie managed by Barta, as evidenced by backto-back years of record-setting fundraising support exceeding $28 million annually. That philanthropic support has been critical to the a long list of athletics facilities that have either been built or renovated during Barta’s first nine years on campus. The list includes construction of the recently-completed $55 million home of Iowa’s football program, the Stew and LeNore Hansen Football Performance Center, $47 million revitalization of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, installation of a new videowall and video ribbon board at Kinnick Stadium, installation of a new video scoreboard and playing surface at Duane Banks Field, construction of a new indoor turf facility, renovation of the practice space inside the UI Fieldhouse used by the UI’s women’s and men’s gymnastics teams, construction of the Hoak Family Golf Facility, turf replacement at Grant Field, the home of Iowa’s nationally ranked field hockey program, and resurfacing of the Klotz Tennis Center, to name a few.

a t o t aGlARY p r oBgARTA ram Iowa’s contributions to the greater Iowa City community go far beyond the multi-million dollars of economic impact generated as a result of the staging of hundreds of regular season, postseason and special events annually. Barta and UI student-athletes, coaches, and staff are also active citizens, logging thousands of hours of community service and also spearheading efforts to support a wide variety of causes ranging from construction of the UI’s new Children’s Hospital to the UI’s extremely successful Dance Marathon to Coaches vs. Cancer. Iowa’s annual “Day of Caring” serves as the foundation upon which all these outreach activities rest. Now in its 20th year of existence, the Day of Caring happens each April and typically involves representatives of most, if not all, of Iowa’s sports programs who provide a wide variety of assistance to an equally wide variety of not-for-profit organizations that service the greater Iowa City community. “Doing it Right” also encompasses efforts aimed at improving the student-athlete experience. The UI Athletics Department invested more than $1.7 million directly into food cost for its student-athletes in 201415 in response to NCAA legislation aimed at providing a higher quality student-athlete experience. In 2015-16, that commitment will continue and will be complemented by increases to the value of the scholarships awarded the UI’s student-athletes as part of the NCAA’s effort to fully address cost of attendance. Providing the resources for the UI’s student-athletes and coaches to be successful is a priority for Barta and his senior management team. That process includes state-of-the-art facilities, which is why Barta enters the 2015-16 year working closely with institutional leadership on the finalization of a comprehensive master plan for the facilities available to the Hawkeyes. The plan will include a comprehensive review of the north grandstand of historic Kinnick Stadium; study of the feasibility of a student-athlete dormitory and dining facility of the west side of the UI campus; a comprehensive review of Carver-Hawkeye Arena including, specifically, the scoreboards and videowalls, the creation of a main entrance and “Wall of Honor” and other enhancements to the fan experience; Phase III of the revitalization of Duane Banks Field; a comprehensive review of Finkbine Golf Course and, specifically, the clubhouse; a comprehensive review of the Gerdin Athletics Learning Center; and, development of the “Hawkeye Campus” on the western
edge of the UI campus, a project that could include new or renovated facilities for indoor and outdoor track and field, softball, volleyball, gymnastics, soccer, field hockey, and tennis. Barta’s involvement in the UI campus and the greater Iowa City communities extends beyond his position as director of the UI’s intercollegiate athletics programs. He is a member of the President’s Cabinet, comprised of vice presidents and other campus leaders that provide counsel to the UI’s president. That group was instrumental in the UI’s response to record-setting flooding that besieged the campus and the Iowa City and Coralville community in June 2008 and will be directly involved in positioning the UI for growth in the immediate and long-term future as the institution responds to the expectations of the residents of the state, members of the state legislature, and the State of Iowa Board of Regents. Barta also represents the UI and the Hawkeyes at the conference and national level as a member of the Rose Bowl Management Committee and the College Football Playoff Advisory Committee. During his tenure at the UI, he has participated in the creation and implementation of the Big Ten Network, the expansion of the Big Ten Conference and realignment of athletics conferences nationally, and the Big Ten’s postseason bowl game agreements that were successfully implemented in 2010. Barta remains active on the conference and NCAA level. He is involved in committee work with NCAA Football, the Division IA Athletic Directors Association, and is an ongoing participant in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Barta is also involved in a variety of community groups, including the United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties and the Partnership for Alcohol Safety, a joint effort between UI campus leaders and the city of Iowa City. Barta often suggests to his staff that “Hope is not a strategy,” which is why the department has completed a comprehensive review and rewriting of the strategic plan for the UI Athletics Department and continues to work with the UI’s leadership on a long-term financial plan. As the director of athletics at the University of Wyoming for three years, seven different Wyoming coaches were named Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. He also spearheaded a fund-raising effort that netted the Cowboy athletics program $11 million in private support
and $11 million in matching state funds. As the senior associate athletics director at the University of Washington, he directed the “Campaign for the Student-Athlete,” was a participant in the design, construction and/or renovation of several Washington athletics facilities, including Bank of America Arena and the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility. In addition to almost doubling the amount of annual private support received by Washington, Barta also managed the department’s external relations division, a task that included corporate sponsorship and radio contracts. His responsibilities at Washington expanded over time to include hiring of coaching and administrative staff, and the day-to-day oversight of several Huskie sport teams. The roots of his development experience extend to his first two positions: director of development at his alma mater, North Dakota State University, and director of athletics development and external relations at the University of Northern Iowa. Barta earned a bachelor of science degree in mass communication and broadcast journalism from North Dakota State in 1987. He was an option quarterback for Bison football squads that won the Division II NCAA National Championship in 1983, 1985, and 1986. Barta, and his wife, Connie, have a son, Luke (17) and a daughter, Madison (15). He was born Sept. 4, 1963, in Minneapolis.

A Campus on the Move The University of Iowa campus caters to pedestrians and bicyclists; it’s compact enough to cross in a 20-minute walk. A free ride on a campus bus can cut that time in half. Entertainment on campus and in Iowa City is geared toward student budgets, with many events offered at no charge. The University of Iowa offers more than 400 student organizations, extensive recreation facilities, 50 fraternities and sororities, and a broad schedule of arts performances, lectures, cultural celebrations and club sports and intramural athletic contests to go along with the intercollegiate competition within the Big Ten Conference..
STUDENT-ORIENTED NIGHT LIFE Iowa’s campus is set right in the city’s downtown area, where you’ll find dance clubs, movies, coffeehouses, and restaurants to suit every taste. Live music can be found any night of the week in clubs and restaurants, even outside on warm evenings on the downtown pedestrian mall. Iowa City businesses are convenient and geared toward student tastes and needs.

Consider the Opportunity For A Quality Education A quality education is one of the highest priorities at the University of Iowa. Just over 90 percent of Johnson County residents have graduated from high school, and in Iowa City nearly half of all residents have earned bachelor’s degrees. In fact, census statistics indicate Johnson County is the 10th “smartest” county in the nation, based on percentage of residents holding bachelor’s degrees. The University of Iowa represents a strong presence in the community while enhancing the quality of life in Iowa City. Your aspiration may be a career in medicine, law or education. Regardless of the specific career field, it’s important to identify the gymnastics program that places a high priority on academics and allows you to take full advantage of the tremendous educational opportunities available. At the University of Iowa, student-athletes learn quickly that academic success is the highest priority.
Athletics and Academics At The University of Iowa, a strong relationship has been developed between athletics and academics, where coaches and athletes work hand-in-hand with academic deans and professors, assuring the student-athlete the best possible opportunities to excel in the classroom and in athletics. From the first visit for any prospective student-athlete, to the completion of their academic and athletic career at Iowa, academic personnel play a large role in the career of Hawkeye student-athletes. Beginning with the on-campus visits, student-athletes are introduced to professors in their selected field of study, and are able to establish a relationship and develop an understanding of the academic setting in which they will be involved.

When a student-athlete considers his future, he should consider prospects beyond golf.

Also, he should decide early on to commit to excellence in every challenge undertaken. Without a doubt, the men and women listed here took time to consider their future and the ways to get there.

“The Gerdin Learning Center gives me the opportunity to be in a great studious atmosphere where I am able to get my academics achieved, along with opportunities to receive help with tutors or study groups. It is also great because you are involved with staff that cares, and also around studentathletes that understand the same schedule, practice, and time you spend here at the University of Iowa.”

The Hawkeye Nickname The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them. In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison. Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval. Herky The Hawkeye
The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawkeye was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism at Iowa. The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athletic department. John Franklin, a Belle Plaine alumnus, was the man who suggested Herky. Since his birth more than 45 years ago, Herky has symbolized Iowa athletics and epitomized University life. He even donned a military uniform during the Korean War and became the insignia of the 124th Fighter Squadron. During the mid-1950s, Herky came to life at a football game as the Iowa mascot. Since that time, Herky has been a familiar figure at Iowa athletics events.
