21 Thursday, July 3, 2014 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Union unveils plaque honoring Coleman University president recognized for years of service, student life initiatives By ALLANA AKHTAR Daily News Editor Tuesday, outgoing Univer- sity President Mary Sue Coleman stood in the Michigan Union and watched as two students cut a rib- bon to unveil her plaque on the wall next to a long list of former University presidents. "Coleman, a biochemist, always focused on the University of tomorrow," the plaque reads. "Popular with students, she led during the worst economic down- fall since the Depression, with new faculty hires, greater interdisci- plinary teaching and research, a vibrant entrepreneurial culture, major building and residential life projects and the $3.2 billion Michigan Difference Campaign. A strong advocate of diversity in the classroom, she launched academic partnership on three continents." The tradition of honoring Uni- versity presidents on the Union wall began in 1994, on the 90th anniversary celebration of the Michigan Union. Susan Pile, director of the. Michigan Union, said she, the Michigan Union Board of Repre- sentatives and Coleman's office had been organizingthe ceremony for many months. She lauded the outgoing president's achievements and tradition of excellence of the University she has continued. "putting all of her accomplish- ments into such few words was a real art," Pile said. "We're just honored to be able to honor her." LSA senior Kendall Johnson, a member of the Michigan Union Board of Representatives, spoke at the ceremony about the Union's rich history in supporting student involvement and campus harmony. Johnson also drew on the sig- nificance of Coleman's status as the first female president of the University, leading the way for future diversity in the school lead- ership. "There is also significance in adding a woman to the wall, especially a woman of integrity, responsibility, wisdom and deter- mination," Johnson said. "The legacy she leads will continue to inspire us for many years to come." University alum Adam Kleven, a former MUBR chair, also spoke about the outgoing president's commitment to students and stu- dent life at the ceremony. Kleven said though studies are important at the University, expe- riences outside the classroom are the ones that trulybenefit students in their lives after college. "Places like the Michigan Union, the Big House, the rec sports buildings, the dorms, those are the places that students will remember," he said. Kleven mentioned several ini- tiatives Coleman undertook to improve student life, including an investment of $170 million in renovations to campus facilities. Over her tenure, Coleman pursued a residential life initiative to reno- vate and reconstruct residential halls on campus, such as South Quad, Alice Lloyd and Mosher- Jordan. He also touched on her fireside chats, held in the Union, during which would answer student ques- tions and try to keep her admin- istration's actions transparent. Kleven said these chats demon- strated the president's willingness to connect with students and hear their concerns. "While President Coleman is also leaving some big shoes to fill, I also think that she has laid the groundwork for a future where Michigan will remain a top-tier university and a university dedi- cated to its students," he said. After the unveiling of the plaque, Coleman also men- tioned her efforts to improve and develop student life through the facilities they used, whether classrooms, residence halls or the Union itself. "I am so happy that under the leadership of Royster Harper, (vice president of student life), that we were able to come to an accommodation so that this icon- ic building will be preserved for the future," said Coleman. "When I talked to alumni, whether they were from the last few years, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty years ago, they remember this as being a part of the campus." The Michigan Union began as an all-male organization to foster a sense of unity among students. The Union building that resides on State Street was once the loca- tion of the house of former Judge Thomas M. Cooley. His house was demolished in 1916 and the Union opened in 1919. The original Union housed a bowling alley, barbershop and swimming pool. Today, the build- ing is used as office space for various student organizations, numerous fast food restaurants and cafes, study rooms and con- ference areas. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com IAN DIWNGHAM SIMONNE KAPADIA 73441-415ex. 251 734-41"4115 xt 241 ftdill@@michigandallyeom smkapa 7michigandoi" co CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom Officehours: 734-763-245,opt.3 News Tips news@michigan.a.ly.com Correcdions corrections mciadiycom Leters tothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaiy.om or visit michigandaiy.com/etters Photo Department photo@michigandaily.com Artsection arts@michigandaily.com EdtalPn ioonmcg i m Magazine statement@michigandailycom Advertising Phone: 734-418-4115 Department dailydispay@gmaitcom Thursday, July 3, 2014 ( If Q The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com NBA DRAFT 2014 NBA Draft Recap: 3 Wolverines picked 4- r " ALLISON FARRAND/Da Zach Nagelvoort was selected by the Edmonton Oilers with the 111th overall pick in the NHL Draft last weekend.

"We also beefed up the com- 6 4 5 3 munication plan so that people know that this should not affect 6 7 post-game traffic, because prior to the meeting, we found out that many people were under the 7 8 assumption that it was going to impact post game traffic, which it should not," Seto said. "One of the biggest issues is that people 4 2 9 6 go out the way they came in, not realizing that Main Street is open and would be a more expedient 15 4 way to leave the city." Seto said further conversa- 4 8tion would be had about what changes needed to be made to the current traffic control plans in 5 preparation for the August 2 soc- cer game between Manchester 8 1 6 2 United and Real Madrid, which may pose different issues than a football game. "I've been told that as far as the soccer game, there is more of a likelihood that the game will be closer in score, so people will stay until the end of the game, unlike a football game where the score could be more lopsided," he said. Neighborhood disturbance was also cited as a problem dur- ing the meeting, specifically when game attendants use them as shortcuts to avoid traffic. Another nuisance mentioned was the potential danger and annoy- ance of overhead helicopters in residential areas. Seto said he could not imple- ment significant changes to State Street or nearby side streets because of the limited number of officers. "It's a balance between secu- rity and inconvenience," he said. Along with several city resi- dents, Councilmembers Jack Eaton (D-Ward 4) and Jane Lumm (I-Ward 2) were in atten- dance at the meeting. The street closure resolution will be pre- sented to them and the rest of city council July 7 for approval.

But he - and seemingly every hockey fan in the state of Michigan - hoped he'd get to wear the same jersey as his longtime idol when Detroit went on the clock. "The captain (Steve Yzerman) pretty much says it all," he said. "He was a true professional." The Waterford, Michigan native and Ann Arbor-based U.S. National Team Development Pro- gram standout also became the first Big Ten player taken in the first round and the Wolverines' highest draftee since defenseman Jacob Trouba of the Winnipeg Jets at No.9 in 2012. "It was pretty special," Larkin said. "I was pretty nervous, but just to hear your name was pretty special." Larkin knew he would almost certainly fulfill his lifelong dream of playing a professional sport. Now, he will also get the chance to play for the team he grew up a fan of. Notes: Larkin was the first U.S.- born player to go in the draft. In total, the Big Ten had 13 players or commits selected by NHL teams, tied with the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference for the sec- ond-most draftees.... There were also 62 NCAA-affiliated players drafted, including five each from Boston College and Boston Uni- versity. Michigan defeated both teams last season at YosttIce Arena and will make a trip to Boston in 2014. By DANIEL FELDMAN Daily Sports Editor Nik Stauskas: 8th overall (Sacramento Kings) NEW YORK - Nik Stauskas may have joked before that he wanted to play with LeBron James. But the Sacramento Kings had bigger things in mind for him, makinghim Michigan's highest draft pick in 14 years. With the eighth pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Kings selected the former Michigan guard, making him the highest Michigan player selected since Jamal Crawford was selected eighth overall in the 2000 draft. "I can't really put this into words," Stauskas said in his first official press conference. "I'm just excited to be a Sacramento King. I've only heard good things about the city and the organization, so I'm excited to getto work." The selection marks the second straight year a former Wolverine has been picked in the top 10. In 2013, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Trey Burke with the ninth pick before trading him to the Utah Jazz later that night. For a team that selected a shoot- ing guard in last year's draft in for- mer Kansas player Ben McLemore, it will be interesting to see if Staus- kas will come off the bench or be a starter. Regardless, Stauskas will provide some relief to a team that finished tied for 27th in 3-point shooting last season (33 percent). After sitting at his draft night table with his agent, parents, brother and Michigan coach John Beilein, Stauskas unleashed ahand- shake with his father to express his gratitude for his night of nerves finally being over. Though Stauskas was nervous his father might get it wrong, he ultimately got it right. "It was planned last night," Stauskas said. "I always throw up the three-goggles, so I thought it was more appropriate to do it here." Mitch McGary: 21st overall (Oklahoma City Thunder) With the 21st pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected the former Wol- verines forward. Rumors floated around heading into Thursday night that McGary had a first-round promise from a team. More rumors indicated that team was the Charlotte Hornets with the 24th pick. As it turned out, McGary did have a first-round suitor, and Michigan coach John Beilein knew before anyone else. Not known for tweeting, Beilein beat all the media to the scoop, tweeting out minutes before the selection, "Another Wolver- ine about to go up on the board. #GoBlue #WeWork" And wouldn't you know it, Beilein was correct. Acting as an oracle, Beilein predicted what NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced from the stage. Meanwhile, McGary will bring a physical presence to an already strong Thunder team. Anchored by Kevin Durant and Russell West- brook, Oklahoma City fell two wins short of the NBA Finals. Though it remains to be seen how long it will take McGary to get back to 100 percent, as he is still recovering from lower back 41 surgery in January, the Thunder clearly think McGary's aggressive, fast-paced offense will fit in. Glenn Robinson III: 40th overall (Minnesota Timberwolves) NEW YORK - As the end of the 2014 NBA Draft first round came to a close, it started to become more and more unclear where Glenn Robinson III would land. Then, all of a sudden, his named was announced, andthe Minnesota Timberwolves acquired his rights with the 40th pick. Robinson's name first came up as a possible 29th pick of the Okla- homa City Thunder, who had pre- viously selected former Michigan forward Mitch McGary with the 21st pick. Instead, the Thunder selected former Stanford forward Josh Huestis. With the San Antonio Spurs up next, a team projected in some mock drafts to take Robinson, speculation remained as to wheth- er Michigan would have three first round picks. Of course, not only did Robinson fall out of the first round, he fell nine more picks until Minnesota finally swooped in to pick up Robinson.
