102 www.esuhornets.com “YApS, YElloW JAcKEtS AnD HornEtS” Here come the Hornets! Go Hornets Go! How did Emporia State University really get to known as the Hornets?

A casual conversation between Vic Trusler and an Emporia Gazette reporter named Cecil Carle led the establishment of the Hornets as Emporia State’s mascot. In the early 1930’s, the Teachers College students were called the Yaps. It is uncertain why the students were called that except popular legend suggests that because they were teachers, they did a lot of “yapping.” In any case, most of the students were not fond of the moniker.

Trusler, a legendary figure on campus in the 1930’s, and coach at Roosevelt High School, and Carle, without design, were instrumental in getting the name changed. Carle was seeking information on the official name of the Roosevelt High School team. Trusler suggested he call the Roosevelt team the Bluejackets since they wore blue jerseys.

In that momentous conversation, Trusler further commented that the students at the Teacher College really did not like being called the Yaps. Instead he suggested they be called the Yellow Jackets because the men wore yellow sweaters with black stripes on the sleeves. And, like the insect, they had quite a sting to them. Nothing further was said, but the next Gazette article about the Teachers College referred to the students as Yellow Jackets.

The evolution of the name Yellow Jacket to Hornet is almost anti-climatic. A lack of newspaper space forced the Yellow Jacket to be shortened to Hornet. For a while the two names were interchanged and used throughout the state.

To further cement the Hornet tradition, the football team received new uniforms in 1936. They were almost entirely black prompting some to suggest that the team be called the Mud Daubers, which are yellow jackets, which are hornets, which game more sting to the legend.

“Corky” first appeared on the scene in 1934 when Paul Edwards, then a sophomore, made what he thought was a more representative figure of the school mascot than the stereotyped hornet being used. He entered it in a contest and finished second. Not to be discouraged Edwards redrew his hornet and showed it to Ray Maul, then manager of the Memorial Union, who thought he could “use the buzzard.” The Corky figure would soon become popular on campus.

Edwards liked his Corky so much he patented the bug in 1936, which dated its 50th anniversary to 1986. During Homecoming 1987, Edwards dedicated a statue he sculpted and is now on display in the Memorial Union Bookstore. A large number of Corky’s cropped up beginning in 2003 during a Parade of Corkys throughout Emporia and many of them are still on display around campus and in the community.

Emporia-State-Athletics ESUSports ESUAthletics fAcilitiES Over the last several years, Emporia State has implemented several projects to upgrade their facilities. The projects continue to give Emporia State some of the finest venues in NCAA Division II.

The Emporia State Athletics Weight Room was renovated and expanded over the summer into one of the top facilities in the MIAA. The renovation increase the area of the current “Hornet’s Nest” from 2,460 square feet to over 4,300 square feet and includes state of the art equipment. When the current Hornet track and field weight room, located on the lower level of the HPER Building, is added to the total ESU will have over 6,000 square feet dedicated to athletic strength and conditioning.

Opened in 1937 and dedicated in 1960, Welch Stadium sits just north of beautiful Lake Wooster in the heart of the ESU campus. Crowds as large as 10,000 fans have watched games when bleachers were added in each end zone. Permanent lighting makes it possible to televise games and play at night.

The facility also has been used extensively by individuals outside the University community. Welch Stadium is the home field of the Emporia High School football team and has hosted the Kansas Special Olympics, the 1998 and 2004 Kansas Shrine Bowl. The 1995, 1999 and 2006 NCAA Division II National Track Championships were held here as well.

A Super Turf playing surface was installed at Welch Stadium in the fall of 2005. The field is named Jones Field at Welch Stadium in honor of the W.S. and E.C. Jones Testamentary Trust, the lead contributor to the project.

Zola Witten Track at Welch Stadium was resurfaced over the summer of 2005 as well. The resurfacing prepared ESU as the host site of the 2006 NCAA II men’s and women’s outdoor track and field national championships. The facility hosted the same event in 1995 and 1999.

The Hanna Clubhouse at the , just north of the ESU campus, has been in place since 2007. The facility houses locker rooms for baseball and softball, as well as coaches offices. It gives Hornet student- athletes on the teams a place to call home before and after games and practices. The second floor of the building serves as an observation deck.

www.esuhornets.com fAcilitiES Throughout NCAA Division II programs, White Auditorium, built in 1940 as a product of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Work Projects Administration (WPA), is regarded as one of the premier basketball arenas in the nation. The 70 year old facility was upgraded during the fall of 2008 with a new scoreboard and video board as well as a new color scheme on the arena floor and the throughout the entire building.

The approximately $270,000 improvement project was funded with City of Emporia general fund and Convention and Visitors Bureau, along with contributions from ESU, the Walter S. and Evan C. Jones Trust, Emporia Sports Promotions, Inc., and Sunflower Gymnastics.

In the fall of 2009 the original wooden balcony seats were replaced with modern black plastic seats, that include cup holders.

In addition to White Auditorium, the ESU basketball and volleyball teams also have a practice facility in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Building on the Emporia State campus. The practice facility in the HPER underwent a major renovation during the summer of 2008. A new lighting system was installed as well as a the playing court getting resurfaced to match the arena floor at White Auditorium.

ESU dedicated Milton Tennis Courts in 2004 in honor of former coach George Milton. Milton was a coach at ESU from 1966-99. The facility, located west of the HPER Building on campus, is used by the men’s and women’s tennis program and hosted the Hornet women’s first ever trip to the NCAA tournament in 2005. The courts were resurfaced adn painted in US Open blue during the summer of 2011. The Hornets also play matches at the Emporia High School Courts in northwest Emporia. The EHS complex has 12 lighted courts, allowing for men’s and women’s matches to be played a the same time.

Jones Park in northwest Emporia is the home of the Emporia State cross country program. The park provides practice facilities and the host-site for the ESU Invitational, a meet hosted be ESU each year. Jones Park was the host site for the 2009 MIAA Cross Country Championships.

2011-12 Community Engagement Spotlight. One new initiative that has been in place the last couple of years is the Hangin’ with a Hornet mentoring program. This very successful program has paired up Emporia State athletes from all teams with Emporia Middle School students. Emporia State student-athletes meet at the Middle School for lunch with students each week to discuss academics and other topics the students would like guidance on. Over 50 ESU athletes chose to be mentors in 2010-2011.

MIAA Game Environment Award of Excellence In response to the creation of the Division II game environment initiative, ESU created “The Sportsmanship Statement”, which is presented by a student-athlete either live, via audio recordings, or filmed and shown on a video board to the fans before the start of home football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball and baseball contests. The statement encourages fans to cheer for their team while also showing respect to other players, fans, coaches and officials. In addition to the Sportsmanship Statement, the ESU SAAC also created the Sportsmanship Creed, which is displayed in each team’s locker room. The Creed was designed to not only convey what it means to be a student-athlete at the institution, but to address how student-athletes should conduct themselves within the campus, community and on the field of play by reaffirming the ideas of Honor, Outstanding, Respect, Nobility, Enthusiasm, Teamwork and Support, better known as H.O.R.N.E.T.S.

Emporia-State-Athletics ESUSports ESUAthletics tHiS iS EMporiA StAtE UniVErSitY As the university begins to celebrate its 150th Anniversary, Emporia State is gaining the reputation as being the innovative university in the state of Kansas. It’s easy to see why. With aspirations to create an Honors College, launch a $5.4 million renovation of two of its residence halls, begin work on Wi-Fi for the entire campus and completion of the stunning Memorial Union renovation, Emporia State is a university on the move. In these and many other ways, Emporia State offers its students a life- changing private liberal arts college experience at a state university price. The quality of Emporia State’s academic programs is also well-known. The university’s many accolades include a first-tier regional university designation by U.S. News and World Report, a top-four model teacher education program and international accreditation for our School of Business. The university’s science and nursing programs prepare its graduates for rewarding health care careers that are sorely needed in Kansas. The university’s four schools and graduate and distance learning programs embody that quality. In fact, U.S. News and World Report has rated Emporia State’s online program as one of the best in the nation. In addition, Emporia State University-Kansas City has robust degree and certificate programs for working adults. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is called the heart of the university for a reason. Every major requires take liberal arts and sciences courses to graduate. From stellar programs in the sciences to music and theatre, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has built a reputation of excellence throughout its curriculum by creating critical and creative thinkers. Likewise, Emporia State’s School of Business educates students to become entrepreneurs, critical thinkers and ethical leaders in the workplace. Graduates hold leadership positions at some of the most significant companies in Kansas and the nation. The School of Business holds prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International accreditation, a designation held by less than 5 percent of business schools worldwide. The accreditation is the “gold standard” that identifies business programs of the highest quality. As a national leader in teacher preparation, the Teachers College has a rich history of preparing teachers to succeed in the classroom. Arthur Levine, former president of Teachers College, Columbia University, and president of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, wrote “Educating School Teachers,” a national study of America’s education schools. He cited four “exemplary” programs in the nation, including Emporia State University. Emporia State is included for its curriculum, student teaching, partnerships (e.g., Professional Development Schools), and the commitment of the faculty to raise the quality of the entire state education system. “ESU is the Camelot for teacher education,” Levine said.

Emporia State University is located next to downtown Emporia, a vibrant town of about 27,000 with coffee shops, restaurants, a wonderful art deco theatre and an arts scene that includes a symphony orchestra, which links with Emporia State’s renowned music program. Its system of city parks rivals Kansas’ best.

Emporia was founded Feb. 20, 1857, and hailed as “the loveliest site in the world for a town.” Named for a Greek market center, Emporia has thrived as a focal point for manufacturing and trade. Four major highways intersect in Emporia — Interstate 35, the Kansas Turnpike, U.S. Highway 50 and Kansas Highway 99. Emporia is an important crossroads for the east-central Kansas population. With nearly 700 lodging rooms, 80 dining choices and 30 meeting facilities, Emporia is a great meeting place for regional, state and national conferences and events.

Serving as the county seat, Emporia is the largest city in Lyon County, covering 8.97 square miles. The city’s population is about 26,760, and Lyon County has a population of 35,935.

Because the Emporia State University Teachers College is embedded in the area’s schools, the city’s and area’s elementary and secondary school systems are exemplary.

Emporia is known as the “Front Porch to the Flint Hills,” the state’s most magical landscape with the world’s largest tract of undisturbed tall grass prairie. The beautiful Flint Hills also offer the following outdoor experiences:

• Twenty miles from town is the Tallgrass National Prairie Preserve with fishing and more than 40 miles of hiking trails.

• Ready to bike? At the north end of campus, there’s College Trails, Emporia’s oldest single track trail system. It consists of a network of winding trails that run along the Neosho River.

• Looking for more fishing? Consider the John Redmond Reservoir and Melvern Lake, where you can boat, camp, swim, bike and hike 30 minutes from town.

• Looking to spot an American bald eagle? Just 30 minutes away is the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge in Hartford.

A $20 million renovation of Emporia State’s Memorial Union was completed this year. The Memorial Union was constructed in 1925 in memory of the students who fought and died in military wars. Additions were constructed in 1958, 1963 and 1972.

By an 80-20 percent margin, ESU students approved a fee increase to help pay for the project.

A Lawrence architectural firm, Treanor Architects P.A., designed the renovation plan following a series of meetings with ESU students, staff and Emporia residents.

Included in the renovation was: • Creation of new student lounge space and performance area; • Renovation of the current student resident dining; • An addition on the east side of the building featuring a new entrance, information center and admissions office; • Redesigned entrances to the building’s west, south and east sides; • Redesigned meeting spaces and traffic patterns inside the building;

The Memorial Union has a long and storied history on the ESU campus.

On Aug. 15, 1922, — 90 years ago — the Memorial Union was incorported as a legal entity in 1922. This set in motion the earnest efforts of students and faculty to raise money to build this memorial to Emporia State students who made the supreme sacrifice in service to the country during the Spanish-American War and WWI.

Emporia-State-Athletics ESUSports ESUAthletics 113 EMporiA StAtE ADMiniStrAtion Michael D. Shonrock, Ph.D. President When Dr. Michael D. Shonrock became the 16th president of Emporia State University on Jan. 3, 2012, he brought a leadership style influenced by another 16th president — Abraham Lincoln. “Get out of the office and circulate among the troops” is one tenet of Lincoln’s leadership. Dr. Shonrock is always ready to give and receive high fives and fist bumps with students, faculty and staff alike when he walks across campus. Lincoln also believed in building strong alliances. For Dr. Shonrock, this means building relationships with faculty, staff and students on campus; alumni and current and future donors; as well as members of the Emporia community, Kansas Board of Regents, Kansas legislators and other academic institutions in the state. Since March, Dr. Shonrock has been traveling the state of Kansas, meeting with community college partners, media outlets and the public at alumni events. On campus, Dr. Shonrock is a strong advocate for shared governance and works closely with representatives of the Faculty Senate, Classified Assembly and Associated Student Government as well as a new Unclassified Staff Senate. Partnering with the Emporia community is key to strengthening both the town and university, according to Dr. Shonrock. A Hornet Telethon held in April and organized by the Admissions office was a significant event from this partnership. During the telethon, community leaders worked telephones to contact newly admitted students and welcome them to campus. Other campus and community members spent the same time writing postcards to the new students. With the enrollment management team, Dr. Shonrock is looking beyond student recruitment to student retention, a key component to increasing enrollment. One goal involves research opportunities for students. Emporia State has a good reputation for undergraduate research, and Dr. Shonrock has recommended the experience be expanded so that all undergraduate students have the opportunity to participate in research and creative activities. Other goals include enhancing the honors program experience and extending a leadership studies minor. During the Fall 2012 semester, Dr. Shonrock plans to teach an introductory leadership course. Under Dr. Shonrock’s leadership, Emporia State is embarking on a much-needed housing project — upgrading and renovating Singular and Trusler residence halls. Already on a long-term plan, the project was moved up by allocating on-campus resources to complete the work. Work also is under way to expand the wireless network to cover the entire campus. A self-described futurist, Dr. Shonrock is focusing on Emporia State’s heritage — the regional institution celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2013 — to determine how to strengthen its future and reinforce the belief that Emporia State provides a private college experience at a public university price. An upcoming “President’s Report on Innovations and Aspirations for Emporia State University” will show how the institution can become what Dr. Shonrock refers to as a “Division 2-plus.” Dr. Shonrock earned a bachelor’s degree in geography with a chemistry minor and a master’s degree in college student personnel from Western Illinois University, an education specialist degree from Pittsburg State University in Kansas and his Ph.D. in higher education administration from the University of Kansas. He has worked in higher education senior administration for more than 20 years. With his wife, Karen, Dr. Shonrock has a history of community involvement, what he calls paying “civic rent,” or giving back. In Emporia, the Shonrocks attend First United Methodist Church. Dr. Shonrock will soon serve on the board of the United Way of the Flint Hills. He attends meetings of the Regional Development Association of East-Central Kansas, the Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce board and the Chamber’s Joint Economic Development Activity Committee and looks forward to joining the RDA and Chamber as a board member in the future.

www.esuhornets.com EMporiA StAtE ADMiniStrAtion Kent Weiser Athletic Director Under the leadership of Director of Athletics Kent Weiser, Emporia State has consistently competed at the national level in NCAA Division II on the field, in the classroom and in the stands. In the last five years, three different Hornet programs have competed in four national championship games, culminating with the Lady Hornets 2010 NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championship. Emporia State University has ranked in the top 50 of nearly 300 D-II schools in each of the last five years, highlighted by an MIAA best 11th place finish in the 2007-08 Director’s Cup Standings. In the classroom, Emporia State is ranked in the top 20 in the nation in producing Academic All-Americans in the 21st century. The athletic and academic success has combined to place every ESU program in the top 25 in national attendance at some point during Weiser’s ten year tenure. The Hornets have won 23 MIAA regular season team championships and have finished in the top 20 of Division II in 11 different sports under Weiser’s leadership. Emporia State Athletics had five top 20 team finishes in 2009-10 as ten of 15 programs made the NCAA post-season. In addition to the Lady Hornets national championship in basketball, Emporia State also picked up top 20 finishes by the men’s and women’s indoor track & field, softball, and women’s outdoor track & field teams. In the classroom Emporia State ranks in the top 20 in the nation among Division II schools with 16 Academic All-Americans in the 21st century. Emporia State regularly places over 50 percent of its student-athletes on the A.D.’s Honor Roll and has had an NCAA Top VIII Award winner under Weiser. Nine coaches hired by Weiser have been named MIAA Coach of the Year in their respective sports. During the 2003-04 school year Emporia State was the first NCAA Division II institution to advance to the postseason in football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball with 11 of Emporia State’s 15 programs competing in the NCAA postseason. Major capital improvements, such as the Emporia State Athletics Weight Room, Hanna Baseball/Softball Clubhouse, Jones Field SuperTurf, the artificial turf infield at Glennen Field, new scoreboards at the Trusler Sports Complex and White Auditorium and the resurfacing of Witten Track have been completed under his watch with 100 percent of the nearly $2 million coming from donors. These improvements have helped maintain those facilities as some of the best in the nation at the Division II level. His leadership of Emporia State’s fund raising efforts led to the largest single gift for athletics scholarships in school history, a $1.25 million contribution in 2004. He helped establish the first department-wide shoe and apparel contracts in NCAA Division II, when Emporia State partnered with Adidas in 2000. Emporia State is still one of just two NCAA Division II athletic programs in the nation to be a Direct Sales Partner with Adidas. The agreement stretches buying power of all 15 Hornet programs and is similar to programs designed for NCAA Division I institutions. While other institutions were faced with reducing sports, Weiser spearheaded the effort to add women’s soccer as a varsity sport, increasing participation opportunities for women at the University for the first time since 1980. His efforts helped Emporia State receive a grant from the NCAA in support of expanding administrative opportunities for women and minorities. Weiser has been a guest panelist at numerous NCAA and NACDA meetings, including for the Division II Strategic Alliance Matching Grant Enhancement Program and the NCAA Leadership Institute for Minority Males. Weiser, a native of Great Bend, Kan., received a bachelor of arts and a master of science in education from the University of Kansas. He began his career in athletics at KU, where he worked from 1981-88. During that time, he held administrative positions as ticket manager and marketing director He also served as the Kansas women’s golf coach from 1984-88. He was the associate director of development for Ottawa University from 1990-93. He joined Emporia State in 1999, after serving as associate athletic director at Oregon State University for six years. Weiser is married to the former Amy Pangrac, and the couple has two daughters, Katie and Abby.
