Spotlight

Colby Wollenman: aspiring doctor, team player and academic scholar

BY MEAGAN BECK MBECK@STATENEWS.COM

To basketball head coach Tom Izzo, he is the team doctor.

And for Izzo’s sake, redshirt senior forward Colby Wollenman said he better become a cardiologist if he’s going to be taking care of Izzo.

Balancing a demanding major like physiology, which Wollenman does, and being a member of a sports team isn’t an easy task.

But Wollenman does it, and does it well.

Despite how difficult it can be to focus on homework after returning home late from practice, he said being committed, determined and perfecting time management have all helped.

“I’m really blessed that academics come relatively easy to me. … A lot easier than basketball,” Wollenman joked.

During the 2014-15 season, Wollenman received the NCAA’s Elite 89 award for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. This award is given to a student participating at the finals site for the NCAA championship with the highest cumulative grade point average.

He was also named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and received MSU’s Scholar-Athlete award last season.

This season, Wollenman is in the process of visiting medical schools. He has missed four practices to visit schools like University of Michigan, Baylor University, University of Chicago and University of Pennsylvania.

He has three more scheduled at Washington University in St. Louis, Vanderbilt University and UCLA. Izzo jokingly said he takes full responsibility for the success Wollenman has had off the court with his test scores.

“It just goes to show we’re not just a basketball program, we educate our guys, too,” Izzo said.

“I’m really proud of what he’s doing.”

But before the team doctor kisses the floor of Breslin Center, he still has his last season with the team ahead of him.

ALL IN THE FAMILY Prior to walking on to the basketball team in the 2011-12 season, Wollenman came to MSU on academic scholarship.

He heard of MSU via the Starr Scholarship. Since 1998, two anonymous alumni from Wyoming have been providing full-ride academic scholarships to students from Wyoming, and recently the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Douglas Estry, the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education, works with the donors to bring students to MSU who otherwise might not have been able to.

Wollenman said he was not selected for the special scholarship, but was given almost an equivalent academic scholarship by the university.

“I decided Michigan State would be a cool place to go. … But the Starr is what got me interested in Michigan State,” Wollenman said.

Last season he received an athletic scholarship, which he had not received as a walk-on. In previous years, he had been on academic scholarship.

As a redshirt senior, he is back on academic scholarship for his final year.

Funny enough, Wollenman’s younger brother, physiology junior Lucas Wollenman, came to MSU on the unique ride. He too plans on becoming a doctor.

Lucas said he became aware of the scholarship when Colby applied. After visiting his brother on campus several times, Lucas said he decided to go for it.

The application process is fairly long. Lucas said it includes four essays with about 250 words and several interviews if a candidate makes different rounds of cuts.

Since being selected, Lucas said the scholarship has given him many different opportunities, such as studying abroad in New Zealand, and it brings him closer to his brother.

“It’s never really been a downside to have a famous brother,” Lucas said. “He’s still the same doof I know him as.”

Colby Wollenman joked while his major is a lot of work, he’s never considered doing homework on the bench.

and we did.�

Early in his high school career, Alley said Wollenman was impressive at ball-handling and passing, and as time went on his better scoring ability kicked in. But Wollenman’s scoring average wasn’t as high as it could have been. “He shot his ball to teammates and friends a lot,� Alley said. “Overall, that season was a pretty amazing season.�

However, he remains humble throughout the success.

Since making the team at MSU, Wollenman said his best memory is “definitely going to the Final Four.�

He recalls the first time the team walked onto the court in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the open practice with “like 30,000 peopleâ€? in attendance. “We just walked out there. ‌ There’s bright lights and the court’s elevated, so you feel like you’re on a stage in front of all those people, and it was surreal,â€? Wollenman said. “It was so cool.â€?

Trying out for the basketball team is not something advertised to the public and Wollenman said people have to go out of their way to find out about it.

To Ryan Alley, Wollenman’s varsity basketball coach at Big Horn High School in Wyoming, it’s no surprise Wollenman made the team. “(He is) one of those kids that had a lot of options and knew what he wanted. ... He knew it was going to happen because he wanted it,� Alley said.

The persistent attitude explains previous success Wollenman had during his high school career.

Amid Wollenman’s senior year, the team went 28-0 and on to win a Wyoming State Championship title. Alley described the team that year as a “special group of guys.� “We had a great team and group of guys that I’m still close with, that we’d been together since middle school,� Wollenman said. “We were like, ‘if we stick together we’re going to have a pretty good basketball team by the time we’re seniors,’

“When it’s basketball, it’s basketball,� Wollenman said. “When it’s school, it’s school. There’s very little mixing of the two, but they don’t mix well.�

A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY During his freshman year at MSU, Wollenman could be found shooting hoops during his spare time at the intramural facilities. “I used to play pickup games all the time. Because I came here with little intention, actually I’ll say no intention, of playing basketball here,� Wollenman said. “It wasn’t even in the cards.�

He said it was during those pickup games he met some people who tried out for the team in the past and Wollenman thought, “shoot, might as well, guess I’ll try it.� “Even when I decided to try out I thought there was no way I would make the team, I’m not good enough,� Wollenman said. “I had a really good tryout and the coaches liked me. ... Five years later, four years later I’m here.�

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

SENIOR SEASON During a game against Illinois last season, Wollenman seized his window of opportunity. Given the chance to play, he made a rush down the court — dunking the ball and leaving Izzo, teammates and the crowd in shock.

It’s not something seen often from Wol-

lenman. Even Alley said when he did it in high school, “we don’t get a lot of dunkers and it’s fun to watch.�

Since that game, Izzo said Wollenman has continued work hard and improve and he will see some playing time this season. “He’s improved enough where he’s going to play,� Izzo said. “Who knows, he could start.�

Wollenman’s hard work and influence on the team doesn’t go unnoticed. Redshirt junior forward Matt Van Dyk, another walk-on, said with so much experience, Wollenman brings a lot to the team. “He’s so intelligent, he’s been on the team for five years so he knows,� VanDyk said. “He jokingly says he could coach a team with Michigan State’s offense and defense if he needed to, which is true.�

With a full season still ahead, Wollenman said the desired end goal is the national championship game.

And this time next year, he could be studying to become a doctor at the rivalry school down the road in Ann Arbor.

But he’s still excited to just get back on the court. “Last year was kind of my first real taste of getting into the rotation of playing in games,â€? Wollenman said. “Having had that experience ‌ to get out there and fill that role again and hopefully make our way to a national championship.â€?

Quick Reads COLUMN: Nebraska loss stings, but not all hope is lost for MSU

BY RYAN KRYSKA RKRYSKA@STATENEWS.COM

The Spartans have been making their bed for the past 10 weeks, and Saturday night, they were forced to sleep in it.

I could almost hear Purdue, Rutgers and University of Michigan pat the pillow and say ‘go on, lay your head, you earned this sleep.’

The Spartans would have liked to have proven them wrong, keeping their eyes open and pulling the all-nighter of an undefeated season. But when it is all said and done, the trip to Lincoln, Neb. was just one loss. The 39-38 upset could have come at the feet of any of the aforementioned teams.

So maybe MSU had this coming, because sometimes performance is better after a good night’s rest.

After all, you do have to be asleep to see your dreams. And with the pressure of an unbeaten daydream put to rest, the Spartans’ real dreams can now begin their rise.

It’s not over as long as MSU wins the remainder of its games. First up is Maryland (2-7) at home.

Then comes Ohio State (9-0) on the road in Colum-

bus, followed by Penn State (7-3) at Spartan Stadium. Should the Spartans prevail in the East division, an undefeated Iowa team could await them in the Big Ten championship game.

In 2014, after 10 weeks of play, the Spartans were ranked eighth in the College Football Playoff rankings and the Buckeyes were ranked 14th.

OSU went on to win the matchup, and put together a late-season resume good enough to make it into the four-team playoff.

The Spartans’ national title hopes now face a similar path to the 2014 Buckeyes’, though the playoff committee might respect the MSU loss to Nebraska less than they did the Buckeyes’ loss to Virginia Tech. With help from a few November upsets, MSU could still advance to the playoffs.

In all reality, whether the Spartans won or lost in Lincoln, a Week 12 win in Columbus was the key in order for the Spartans to make the four-team cut. Big Ten followers have known this since the start of the season, and the MSU-OSU matchup will still be as important as previously anticipated.

Junior forward JT Stenglein skates down the ice during the game against New Hampshire on Saturday at Munn Ice Arena. The Spartans defeated the Wildcats, 7-4. PHOTO: ALICE KOLE

BY STEPHEN OLSCHANSKI SOLSCHANSKI@STATENEWS.COM

A little more than a year ago, junior forward JT Stenglein was just another name lost on the MSU hockey roster. Hidden underneath the skill of guys on the depth chart, Stenglein was a non concern. Now he’s the guy teams talk about first.

During Stenglein’s first two seasons with the Spartans, he had just five points. This year, he is having a career year, with 10 points in eight games. Stenglein’s surprising start to the season is only unsurprising to the coaching staff of MSU. “I think he’s starting to grasp what we’ve asked him to do to translate his game from where he was in junior hockey to here,” head coach Tom Anastos said of Stenglein’s rise. “He’s working harder at that than he ever has.”

When MSU first spotted Stenglein, he was a young star in the USHL. After playing for three teams in the 2012-13 USHL season, Stenglein produced 55 points in 53 games. He also helped lead the US Junior Select Team to a gold medal over Canada West in the World Junior A Challenge. In the 2011-12 season Stenglein generated 31 goals and 20 assists in 56 games and set a Youngstown Phantoms franchise record for goals.

Stenglein had all the trappings to produce a college hockey star, but when it came time to drop the puck on his freshman campaign, he seemed to lose his touch.

As with any higher level in any facet of sports or life, there’s an adjustment to be made. Some players transition smoothly, others slosh through like molasses.

After underachieving for two seasons, Stenglein needed to make a change if he was to bring his true talent to fruition.

“Just trying to be a little more active and get involved a little bit more,” Stenglein said of the areas of his game he focused on during the summer. “I just wanted to try and work on the other parts of my game like the defensive zone.”

“Just talking with the coaches about what it takes to adapt my game from the junior level to the college is just something I’ve been trying to work on for the past couple of years now. ” A big hand in the development of Stenglein falls upon

the shoulders of Anastos and his coaching staff. Recognizing what Stenglein brought to the table for MSU, and cognizant of his former playing days, the coaching staff has been hard at work in molding Stenglein’s ability.

“I want his game to keep getting better,” Anastos said of Stenglein’s success so far. “Don’t just measure because you score and we won the game, let’s keeping pushing the standard to be higher.”

“To his credit he’s taken that on,” Anastos said. “I told him move your feet the rest of the rink like you do below from the top of the circles down. As long as he does that he can contribute throughout the rink.”

Stenglein’s game has done a complete 180 and comes with a confidence in his own ability to produce and play hockey at this level.

“I think he’s starting to grasp what we’ve asked him to do to translate his game from where he was in junior hockey, to here.”

Tom Anastos, MSU hockey head coach

His scoring touch is back, and his ability to use his six-foot, 205-pound frame to fend off opponents has put Stenglein right back into junior hockey form. Aggressive and unafraid to drive the net, Stenglein might become the centerpiece to MSU’s offensive production.

Stenglein’s rise isn’t lost on his teammates either.

“It’s huge, we needed it coming into the year,” senior forward Michael Ferrantino said. “I think he felt that and worked really hard this summer. It’s amazing what confidence can do. It’s great to see.”

Stenglein also knows without his linemates, he wouldn’t be in as a good a position as he is now.

“My linemates and I are clicking right now,” Stenglein said. “I think hockey’s a lot about who you play with and me, (Thomas) Ebbing, and (Joe) Cox are working well together right now.”

Stenglein recorded three points (two goals, one assist) in two games against UNH this weekend, giving him a total of 10 points on the season (five goals, five assists).

Stenglein will need to continue his stellar play as MSU pushes for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

BY TREASURE ROBERTS TROBERTS@STATENEWS.COM

When computer engineering senior Alex Zajac saw his friend going to dodgeball practice every week, he figured it would be a good club to join.

Marketing senior Colin O’Brien said there are so many traditional sports clubs, but dodgeball club is something you just would not expect.

MSU Club Dodgeball practices every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at IM Sports-Circle. During practice they play the intense, but fun game of dodgeball. The ultimate goal of the sport is to get the other team completely out while still having remaining members on the team.

“It’s all about fun, running around and having a good time with friends,” Zajac said.

The club is very competitive, but fun is also an important aspect of the game.

“It’s a lot of fun to go out there and hit people (with dodgeballs) really,” O’Brien said.

Skill level is not important when it comes to joining the MSU Club Dodgeball. When Zajac first joined the club he was not the best dodgeball player.

“I was getting hit in the head with dodgeballs and I had contacts pop out of my eyes because it,” he said. “It was always some freak accidents that happen, but for the most part it’s a pretty safe sport.”

After becoming accustomed to the team Zajac decided to run for the position of assistant captain.

“I felt like I have always been a leader,” he said. “While I was on the court, people looked to me for help during game time. I figured it would be a good opportunity for me to help the team in anyway possible,” he said.

MSU Club Dodgeball currently participates in local, in-state and out-of-state tournaments.

Some of the past tournaments have been held

at Grand Valley State University, Central Michigan University and Kent State University.

“They are the most fun thing,” O’Brien said.

“We are always one of the top teams in the league. We have gotten a lot better over the years and are currently ranked number one in the National College Dodgeball Association. Who doesn’t like going out there and competing?”

MSU Club Dodgeball lost to Grand Valley State University in the national tournament last year and several years prior to that. However, they beat GVSU in the first match this year.

“We are always one of the top teams in the league.

We have gotten better over the years and are currently ranked number one in the National College Dodgeball Association.”

“It was pretty exciting beating them,” Zajac said. “It was our first time in club history that we beat Grand Valley. We lost over 30 games to them prior so beating them was a pretty big moment for us.”

O’Brien said a lot of times the game against GVSU would either be a blow out or they would lose by one point. But this year was a different story.

“This year we came out there and got that win and it was just a huge relief and a monkey off our back for sure,” he said. “I didn’t play that well, but it was a great feeling to see my teammates pick me up.”

MSU professor looking for ways to reduce stink bug population

Lack of ICAs causing issues for both ICAs and residents

Stink bugs in Michigan are increasing, despite an overall decrease nationally, leading a professor at MSU to collect more information and find ways to decrease the population of the bug.

“They hit their peak in Mid-Atlantic states from 2011-13,” entomology professor Matthew Grieshop said. “In areas where they have just arrived, including Michigan, they are rapidly increasing in population.”

Grieshop said the Asian insect began showing up in America in the late 1990s.

“The first appearance in America was in Pennsylvania,” Grieshop said. “Fall 2010 is when they surfaced in Michigan. My mother and I were eating dinner outside at a restaurant in Okemos. A bug landed on her salad plate, I grabbed it and realized it was a brown marmorated stink bug.”

Stink bugs acquired the name because of the smell they emit when frightened or killed. Grieshop said the smell of a brown marmorated stink bug, when disturbed, is similar to a mix of cilantro and dirty sweat socks.

“These stink bugs are a nuisance,” Grieshop said. “They are harmless. I have never heard of anyone getting bit by a stinkbug but, (if so) they do not carry diseases.”

While individuals do not have to worry about catching anything from these stink bugs, Grieshop gave some tips on how to keep them out of your homes.

“To ensure that the stink bugs do not 10

come into your home, you should make sure you have a nice, tight exterior,” Grieshop said. “Close openings with expanding foam.”

Grieshop said stink bugs enter homes because they are looking for a place to stay for the winter.

Julianna Wilson, MSU Tree Fruit IPM Outreach Specialist, works to know the amount of stink bugs in a certain area to alert growers.

“We try to get people, anyone, to report this insect entering their home because before it becomes a serious agricultural pest, it is a home owner nuisance pest,” Wilson said. “I was trying to get people to report it at the Midwest Invasive Species Information Network (MISIN) site.

Before I put the article out, there were six to eight entries and now there are more than 2,500 entries.”

MONDAY, NOVEMBE R 9, 2 01 5

Wilson said there has been a few reports of damage in apple orchards due to the stinkbugs so far. The population of the stink bug is greater in the southern part of Michigan.

While brown marmorated stink bugs are harmless, Ernest Delfosse, MSU professor in the Department of Entomology, works to find ways to decrease the population as a whole.

With the help of the only BSL-2Ag quarantine facility in the state, Delfosse uses wasps overseas to act as an enemy to the stink bugs.

Grieshop said the Trissolcus japonicus wasp originated in Asia and traveled to North American on its own, is a native parasitoid of the brown marmorated stink bug.

“The testing that we’re doing involves collecting native stink bugs all over Michigan,” Delfosse said. “We put the native stink bug eggs together with this wasp in small containers and let them lay their eggs into the native stink bug eggs. The whole program is to determine what the risk to the native stink bugs might be. So far, what we are finding, we are starting to see that there are some ecological factors in the field will be very minimal to the native stink bugs.”

Both Grieshop and Delfosse are collecting live adult brown marmorated stinkbugs to aid them in their research.

If you are able to capture a stink bug alive, you can drop it off in room 243 of the Natural Science Building or the Center of Integrated Plant Systems (CIPS) Building.

An Intercultural Aide’s job is to help students make successful social, cultural and academic transitions into MSU, but some students have finished an entire school year without meeting their ICA. Some residence halls have one ICA assigned to two floors and others have one ICA for every three floors. This makes it difficult for ICAs to interact with every student on their assigned floors.

“This year I don’t even know if I have an ICA — I assume that I do,” jazz studies sophomore William Wang said.

Last year, Wang said there was always an opportunity to talk to someone outside of his friend group if he needed help.

“The way my ICA last year worked, he was almost like a therapist, someone to talk to about anything,” Wang said. “He always had his door open. This year there isn’t the same amount of opportunities as last year, just because I do not know my ICA.” Supply chain management senior Jiarun Xing was an ICA in McDonel Hall last year and said he was assigned to 200 students.

Although the ICAs’ priorities are to check-in with Spartan Success Scholars and freshmen, some students who wanted to speak with their ICA have never seen them.

“If you move in as a freshman in the dorms you probably won’t even know what an ICA is until you see the ICA.” Alessia Risi, hospitality business sophomore

Xing said if an ICA is placed in a predominately freshman dorm with a high student to ICA ratio, it can become overwhelming.

“As an ICA, we are also students, we have to focus on academia as well — we are not robots,” Xing said.

Xing said he believes having another ICA to share the duty with would make the task easier to accomplish.

“We would have more time to pay attention to each individual,” Xing said.

Hospitality business sophomore Alessia Risi said coming from Europe to America was a big transition.

“Being used to Italian colleges, this was completely different than what I expected,” Risi said.

Risi said she also had issues of never meeting her ICA last year.

“If you move in as a freshman in the dorms you probably won’t even know what an ICA is until you see the ICA,” Risi said.

However, Risi’s ICA lives on her floor this year, which enables her to interact with the ICA more than students who live on a floor without one.

“She lives on our floor so I see her all the time, but I still don’t know what she does,” Risi said.

Risi said she thinks it is better to have one ICA on every floor within the residence halls.

“It would be a lot easier because people might not know about their ICA — I think it’s a good idea to have more,” Risi said.

The Office of Cultural and Academic Transitions was unable to be reached for comment.

Vaping regulations to take effect next year

BY ALEX KURRIE AKURRIE@STATENEWS.COM

You see it around campus — someone inhales from what looks to be a walkie talkie and then billows out a citrus scented nimbus cloud.

It is called “vaping,” and the Ingham County Health Department is currently working on a piece of legislation that will regulate its sale similar to products with tobacco in order to prevent its sale to minors.

According to Ingham County, the goal of the Electronic Smoking Device Licensing Regulation is “reducing youth access” to electronic smoking products as well as “maintaining compliance and licensing records of businesses that sell electronic smoking devices.”

Linda Vail, a health officer for Ingham County said the end goal of the regulation is the same as before, only now vape products will be regulated similarly to tobacco.

“Virtually anyone can buy and sell e-cigarettes in Ingham County right now, even children,” she said in a press release. The law itself states, “electronic smoking devices contain components and chemicals that are dangerous to young children.”

Data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products, and cited by Ingham County, stated that electronic cigarette use among minors has

tripled in recent years.

The county held an open forum where those who had grievances with the proposed legislation could express their concern.

Matthew Kirkpatrick is an advocate for Smoke Free Michigan and, during the meeting, stated he “couldn’t agree more” with the notion of keeping these products out of the hands of minors.

Smoke shops throughout the state have “never sold to minors,” he said.

Shops that sell both tobacco and vape products, or hybrids, have been “self-policing” for a long while and remain committed to only selling their products to those that are of age, Kirkpatrick said.

“The goal is tobacco harm reduction,” Kirkpatrick continued, “this could restrict access to those people that have used this product as a way to quit smoking.”

He feels grouping vape products with tobacco will cause a negative stigma against a product that is a relatively healthier and aids in the quitting process.

“It is purely semantics,” Vail said as a reassurance that while these electronic products might be grouped with tobacco, the law does not say they are one in the same.

Vail also insisted during the meeting that there is no hidden agenda against tobacco and vape shops.

Ingham County released a fact sheet regarding licensing for store owners.

Foremost, the regulation states that

firms already in possession of a tobacco license will not have to reapply.

However, stores that do not have a tobacco license and stores that exclusively sell vapor products will be forced to apply.

This is where those in opposition to the regulation, like Kirkpatrick, have an issue with the application process, finding that “grouping tobacco with vapor products lacks common sense.”

“This law only protects tobacco shops. It forces vapor shops to apply

for a license completely unrelated to the product they sell,” Kirkpatrick said.

Those in opposition also assert it “has very little to do with protecting the youth.”

Kirkpatrick paid mention to the notion that minors simply utilize older siblings or friends to obtain the products.

Students have also weighed in on the issue, as this will clearly apply to shops around campus.

Psychology junior Nikki Westerberg feels vape is a relatively healthier option compared to smoking cigarettes.

“I felt a lot healthier after I switched over and can actually breathe better,” she said.

The regulation is scheduled to go into effect at the beginning of next year and there will be a public hearing on Nov. 10 at the Ingham County Courthouse for the public to voice its concern.

MSU Paranormal Society: the real Ghostbusters

BY ARIANA TAYLOR ATAYLOR@STATENEWS.COM

Halloween is long over, but for one MSU group, the passion for paranormal activity goes beyond the holiday.

These students are a part of a club called the MSU Paranormal Society, a Ghostbusters-type of group who discovers the things that go bump at night.

“Our mission is to find the ‘para’ in our daily lives,” international relations junior and club president Jared Gajos said. “And using deductive reasoning and our equipment, we determine if that whistle was the wind blowing through the hole in the roof or a ghost attempting to communicate their last message to you.”

The MSU Paranormal Society is an investigative group that collects evidence to prove and disprove paranormal experiences using special equipment.

The club uses a variety of equipment like a temperature gun, an electromagnetic field tester or EMF, a K2 meter and even a boo buddy — a bear that is said to better communicate with child spirits.

“The society allows for all types of beliefs,” Gajos said. “Whether you believe in absolutely

nothing but like the fact that we go to graveyards, or you are a stone cold believer in everything paranormal, we have a spot for you.”

The paranormal society goes around to presumably haunted locations to find paranormal activity.

During a regular investigation, members split off into groups and walk around until their K2 meters or EMF detectors are set off. Once that happens, they start a session asking questions and taking notice to detail to figure out who or what could be there.

“Paranormal society is all about making connections with others, whether it be through fear of the unknown or shared experiences on investigations,” environmental studies and sustainability sophomore Tara Eavy said.

Last year, one of their groups did an investigation in Wonders Hall’s basement.

There’s a legend that claims in September of 1999, there were complaints of a rancid smell coming onto the first floor. After searching around, a student’s body was discovered in an unused refrigerator in the basement of Wonders.

After investigation in that location, the group’s EMF meters spiked up to 54.0, compared to it’s usual high of 1.5.
