A new Super Turf artificial surface was installed at Welch Stadium in the sum- mer of 2005.

A new sound system was installed in the summer of 2006, to enhance the enjoyment of the gameday experience for Hornet fans.

The Hutchinson Family Pavilion includes private suites and has served as a model for programs across the coun- try wishing to upgrade their facilities.

A weight room, office complex, and locker room improvements were implemented during the 1999 season. These improve- ments were made possible by the generous support of individu- als known as “Difference Makers.” The ESU football program is committed to pro- viding an environment for the student-athlete which hopefully maximizes the potential for success . 3 Weight Room

What brought you back to Emporia State? First of all, anytime you get a chance to come back to your alma mater as the head football coach, it really is a dream come true and it is something I always thought about ever since I got into the profession. Second, along with being a great University and a great community, I think this is a great location to recruit kids too, to get an education and play football.

What are your goals for the 2010 season? We definitely want to improve from last year. We need to begin to win those close games and beat an opponent that everybody else perceives us to be an underdog to. We have different goals within our program, but definitely would like to be in post season play this year whether it’s the playoffs or a bowl game.

What most excites you about your third season? We’re beginning to look at our team picture and see 80-85% of the team begin to be players we recruited and watching the steps they have taken to become good football players. We are still relatively young in certain positions, but also have a veteran group in two of the most important positions at offensive and defensive line so it’s exciting to continue to watch them compete and develop.

What should fans expect to see out on the field when they come to Welch Stadium? We definitely want to be a team that plays with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. We’ll respect our opponents, but want to have the attitude that we will never take the field without the belief that we will win.

How do you want the typical Hornet football player to be per- ceived? A player that has a strong work ethic, is concerned about his teammates and is mentally and physically tough. Along with having the right type of character off the field.

When a player graduates from your program, what do you want them to remember from it? I definitely want our player to have the same type of experience that I did as a student athlete at ESU. We want to be proud not only of our football program but of this great institution. We want them leaving here with a sense of pride that their alma mater is Emporia State University. We want them to be leaders in their communities and be a positive impact in everything they want to do in life. Head Coach Garin Higgins with wife Heather and children (l-r) son Halen, daughter Gracyn and daughter Harlee 9 ESU Football

The Hornet Vision The Hornet football program will be respected as one of the very best collegiate programs in in the country. We will help young men achieve their highest poten- tial in the classroom and on the field. The program will move fast in a positive direction by creating a culture of excellence and tradition. We will abide by the power of the “E.”

www.emporia.edu/athletics Follow ESU Athletics on Facebook and Twitter “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 Harnet. 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 yellowjackets, which are hornets, which game more sting to the legend.

“Corky” first appeared on the scene in 1934 when Paul Edwards, then a sopho- more, made what he thought was a more representative figure of the school mascot than the strereotyped 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 Corky the Hornet statue he sculpted and is now on display in the Memorial Union Book- store. 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. Follow ESU Athletics on Facebook and Twitter www.emporia.edu/athletics 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 invrease 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 con- tributor 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 wom- en’s outdoor track and field national championships. The facility hosted the same event in 1995 and 1999.

The Hanna Clubhouse at the Trusler Sports Complex, 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.emporia.edu/athletics Follow ESU Athletics on Facebook and Twitter 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 regard- ed 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 it hosted the Hornet women’s first ever trip to the NCAA tournament in 2005. 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.

For the first time in the programs eight year history, Hornet soccer played their entire home schedule on the ESU campus in 2009. The ESU Pitch is located north of the HPER Building and provides easy access for Hornet fans.

Emporia State student-athletes didn’t just provide the Emporia community with exciting sports action throughout the year, the Hornets also provided the community with over 2,100 hours of com- munity service during the 2009-10 year.

Working with organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, Rebuilding Together, Abundant Harvest Food Kitchen and several local elementary schools, the Hornets contributed over 2100 hours of community service. From painting homes for the disadvantaged, cheering on Special Olympics competitors, collecting canned foods and to recycling, Emporia State student-athletes could be seen all around Emporia lending their time.

Our relationship has been and will continue to be very strong with Emporia. Our teams have been a constant in the community. The teams pay attention to the community perceives them and it is important that we maintain our great relationship.

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, soc- cer, 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.

MIAA SAAC Mentor of the Year Dr. John Rich, Associate Dean of the ESU School of Business and the Faculty Athletics Rep at ESU, has assisted student-athletes to maintain their eligibility by reviewing NCAA rules they must follow and helping them complete their eligibility paperwork. He is constantly in contact with student-athletes either in the classroom or at sporting events. This year, he suggested the initiation of a chapter of the national athletic honor society, Chi Alpha Sigma, at ESU. Not only did he help organize the charter chapter and its initiating ceremonies, but he also made a financial donation to pay for the entry fee into the national organization. Dr. Rich was President of the MIAA from 2001- 2003, and he has been a member and chair of many different MIAA committees. After attending an NCAA leadership conference with two student-athletes, he helped organize the first Senior Prom at ESU. It is greatly due to his efforts that this event continues successfully even after the originating student-athletes have graduated and moved on.

Graduation Rate Differential Award The MIAA uses the graduation rate information from the Department of Education to compare its student-athletes academic success with that of the general student body. ESU had the graduation rate highest above its student body rate with 70 percent of its 2002-03 freshmen on athletically-related aid earn a degree within six years, which was 26 percentage points above the general student body rate.

The total project is slated to be complete by fall of 2012. The Memorial Union was constructed in 1925 in memory of the students who fought and died in World War I. Additions were constructed in 1958, 1963 and 1972.

Students approved, 739-181, 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 meet- ings with ESU students, staff and Emporia residents.

Included in the renovation: • Creation of new student lounge space and perfor- mance area • Renovation of the current student cafeteria • 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 • Environmentally-friendly improvements to the build- ing’s heating, ventilation and cooling systems

www.emporia.edu/athletics Follow ESU Athletics on Facebook and Twitter MEMORIAL UNION RENOVATIONS The process to get the renovation going has been a long one with the first meeting about the project occurring in 1999. Still, the effort didn’t start in earnest until the fall of 2007. The current renovation plans aim to make the union into a “living room space” for ESU students, ESU President Michael Lane said.

The Memorial Union has a long and storied history on the ESU campus. Originally opened in 1925, the union was built as a tribute to the students who fought and died in World War I. Since then, the union has had four additions.

“I think it’s really critical to our current and future students,” Lane said. “It really is supposed to serve as a functional meeting place, a social place, a gathering place, an eating place for our students as well as our faculty and staff.”

“We want to upgrade the windows and lighting to make them environmentally friendly,” Lane said, “as well as more efficient heating and cooling that will be environmentally friendly. The finishes will be done with environmentally friendly materials as well. We want to make the building as green as we can as well as comfortable for our students, faculty and staff.”

In addition, the university is looking to move its admissions office to the union.

“(The union) will become the university’s front door,” Lane said, “and it needs to be attractive to current and prospec- tive students.”
