A difcult
decision:
Ok, Im not that now, what am I? - Marc Carter
As he battles
cancer, former
Professor of
Psychology Marc
Carter retires to
face whatever
comes next.
Taylor Shuck
EDITOR
It began with a weekend off. Then, just
a semester off. By the start of the fall 2014
semester, Marc Carter decided not to return
to teaching at Baker University.
Last December, the former professor
of psychology was diagnosed with a brain
tumor known as astrocytoma. He took the
spring semester off, intending to return in
the fall. As his condition continued to tire
him, Carter decided retirement would be the
best option for both himself and the Baker
community.
Jump to Pg. 2
The decision was largely about
whether or not I could do it and do it
well, Carter said. Not feeling that I
could (do it well), I decided not to. If
I was going to do it, I wanted to do it
right.
Although his surgery at the Univer-
sity of Kansas Medical Center satellite
campus in Westwood went well, with
the doctors telling him they removed
over 99 percent of the tumors, Carter
still felt he was not ready to return. The
choice for replacement, according to
Carter, was obvious.
Following Carters retirement, his
position has been filled by Rand Ziegler,
who had previously held the same
position as Carter before becoming an
administrator. Carter said the transition
made real good sense, and Ziegler
believes the same. Ziegler himself said
it was quite natural for him to take
over Carters teaching position.
After working in administration for
10 years, Ziegler is happy to be back
in the faculty. Ziegler said he always
knew he wanted to retire as a faculty
member.
Quite honestly, Ive always been a
faculty member at heart, Ziegler said.
I really, really like being back in the
classroom, and it reinforced to me how
much I missed the being in there.
While Ziegler was happy to transi-
tion back into the role of teaching,
Carter is having a more difficult time
adjusting. Carter said the hardest part
is not thinking of himself as a college
professor anymore.
After having identified myself as a
college professor since 92, its kind of
strange to think OK, Im not that now,
what am I? Carter said.
As for what he is, Carter has been
focusing on the things he could not
find time for when he was a professor,
including reading, writing and even
taking a French class from his wife
and former colleague, Professor of
French Erin Joyce.
The two have worked together at
the university for 10 years, with Joyce
starting in 1999 and Carter in 2004.
Joyce said that coming back from sum-
mer vacation without her husband was
a little strange to her, but she recog-
nizes that he made the right decision.
In the spring, it felt like he was on
a sabbatical and he would come back,
but coming back this fall and knowing
he was retired was a little emotional,
Joyce said. I know he made the right
decision.
Although all of Carters MRIs have
been clean, he is still undergoing
chemotherapy five of every 28 days. He
said the treatments are tedious and he
is beat all the time during those five
days, but he jokingly added that it at
least gives the couple a chance to go to
Costco.
Because it has only been eight
months, its hard to tell where the
cancer might go. As of right now, Carter
and Joyce are taking what comes and
going step-by-step with the process.
Right after the surgery, they tell
you anything could happen, Joyce said.
I really tried to not think too much
through it ... Lets just do it. I dont
know, for me, it didnt help to think
What if this happens? We just have to
do it.
Although he is no longer a full-time
professor, Carter said he has had much
support from the faculty and staff,
including Brian Posler, the dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences. Posler has
told Carter he is welcome to come back
whenever he feels up to it.
The dean has been great, but its a
little odd when youre really invested
in a community and then all of the
sudden, youre not in that community
anymore, Carter said. But were going
to try and find a space for an office in
the university so I can come and do
some work in the library.

Fall enrollment is on a steady
incline as Baker continues to gain and
keep new students.
Currently, Baker has 228 new
freshmen and 39 transfer students
enrolled for the fall semester on the
Baldwin City campus.
Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences Brian Posler said that while
Baker does not have as many new
freshmen as last years class at 234,
overall enrollment is increasing
largely because Bakers retention rate
is improving.
Those retention numbers are
doing pretty well, which means we
are successfully finding students
who are a good fit to stay and be
successful at Baker, Posler said.
The full-time enrollment will be
higher this fall than last fall by about
20 students or so. And so thats
good news for Baker.
Kevin Kropf, the senior director of
admissions, said the incoming fresh-
man class is very diverse, including
the addition of 11 international stu-
dents enrolled this fall, twice as many
as last year. These students are from
all around the world, from Canada to
Australia.
Were excited that almost a quar-
ter of the [freshman] class identifies
as African American, Asian American,
and Native American or Hispanic or
Latino, Kropf said. We think having a
diverse class is an important thing.
According to the 2013-14 Baker
University Fact Book, BU had a spike
in enrollment in 2008 and 2009,
with almost one thousand students
enrolled at the Baldwin City campus.
By 2011, that number had decreased
by nearly 60 students. But enrollment
has increased each year since then.
The total number of students has
been increasing and Posler said it
is evident in the recent residential
changes on campus.
We have men in Irwin this year,
because we needed overflow from
Gessner, Posler said. So its not sur-
prising the NLC is full, [and] its not
surprising the apartments are full, but
it is nice to see Gessner essentially full
the fewer empty beds and the more
full the campus is, in ways of housing,
also really helps Baker.
Kropf and the admissions office
believe it is a whole campus effort to
enroll a student.
Its faculty, its coaches, its the
building [and] grounds people, its
student life - its the entire experi-
ence, Kropf said. When we get
students to visit, we want them to
engage as many aspects of the campus
as possible, and so we know we cant
do it alone.
Improved retention rate helps enrollment numbers

Visiting professor feels at home at Baker
Megan Henry
STAFF WRITER
Hes lived in many different places
in the United States, from New York
to Tennessee. But none of these states
compare to Kansas, where Visiting
Assistant Professor of Spanish David
Lisenby, Ph.D., feels most at home.
Whether teaching or schooling,
Lisenby has made his way through
many states, only to stop here at
Baker to fill in for Professor of Spanish
Sandra Schumm who is on sabbatical
this year. Lisenby will be teaching all
of Schumms Spanish courses at the
200-level and above.
I was eager to get back in this
area, Lisenby said. Im really enjoy-
ing the class sizes and getting to know
the students well just in these first few
days.
Lisenby attended graduate school
at the University of Kansas, where he
earned his doctorate. Upon graduating
from KU, he began teaching Spanish
and has continued to do so for the past
11 years.
His first impression of Baker was
that most students are involved in
many activities on campus, and views
this as a unique and positive trait of
the university.
Im looking forward to learning
personally from the experience of
teaching a wide variety of courses at
Baker and getting involved, Lisenby
said. Im thrilled to be here.
Sophomore Kristen Finger thinks
Lisenby will do well at Baker and by
the end of the semester he will have
students who are encouraged and
enthusiastic about Spanish.
I think he demonstrates a lot of
patience and understanding toward
students, Finger said. Hes relaxed,
but firm, which gives us the confidence
to grow in our Spanish ability.
Lisenby will be continuing the out-
of-class activities Schumm helped with,
too, including the Spanish table in the
cafeteria and hosting film nights.
Senior Jacob Mogle is in one of
Lisenbys Spanish classes and foresees
him fitting in well at the university.
Professor Lisenby is going to find a
lot of success at Baker, Mogle said. His
teaching style promotes fun and learn-
ing side by side, which is exactly what
Bakers language department needs.

To start the 2014-15 school year,
Baker University was faced with a
pile of budget cuts that surprised
faculty and staff members. President
Lynne Murray addressed Faculty Sen-
ate on Sept. 2 and discussed the cuts
and their effects on the university.
I know you came in to budget
cuts, Murray said. I am looking into
that and greater than that, Im look-
ing into greater transparency.
Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences Brian Posler said that most
of the cuts were made before Mur-
ray arrived. He said the Board of
Trustees directed former President
Pat Long, outgoing Chief Operating
Officer Susan Lindahl and him to find
inefficiencies and places where cuts
could be made.
Posler said many members of the
BOT were in favor of the budget cuts.
The Board has worked hard to
pay down debt over the past several
years and has done that very suc-
cessfully, decreasing it by more than
$5 million, Posler said in an email.
After working to achieve that goal,
some Board members were reluctant
to add any debt back to that total.
Cuts came in the form of $500,000
from operational budgets and
$500,000 in personnel. Posler said
many of the cuts were based on year-
end spending levels last year and
how certain departmental expenses
could be cut while still sparing stu-
dent and faculty experiences.
Although the total $1 million
figure seems large, Lindahl said that
it is spread throughout all of Bakers
campuses, which have a total annual
budget of $40 million.
We wanted to find those funds
in the best possible way without
hurting the environment and the
morale of the institution, Lindahl,
who recently submitted her resigna-
tion, said. Our mission is to deliver
the best education that we can, and
we dont like to reduce any budget
but we are required to meet certain
financial indicators, and if we arent
meeting those, for any institution, we
have to look at what we can reduce.
To help with the tough finan-
cial times, Murray hopes to have
decreased spending on events and
other presidential occasions, so the
cuts will not have a direct effect on
teaching budgets.
Murray will also be facilitating a
faculty budget group along with cre-
ating a Presidents Visionary Fund,
through which a significant amount
of fundraising can be done for the
university.
Posler hopes the cuts do not affect
the students in any way.
We all tried our very best to in-
sulate students as much as possible,
Posler said. Some administrative of-
fices will be more thinly staffed, but
we all will strive to serve students
just as well as before. My hope is that
very little will change for the student
experience this year as a result.
Lindahl said that even in a time
of budget cuts, the university has
hired new faculty on the Baldwin City
campus and is starting more growth
programs on the satellite campuses,
including new accounting and crimi-
nal justice majors at the School for
Professional and Graduate Studies
campus in Overland Park.
Theres great synergy across
the university toward those growth
programs, Lindahl said. We focus
on investing in our campus so that
our facilities are welcoming and a
place that students want to be and an
investment toward the commitment
to hire faculty to meet the mission of
the university. But now we just have
to have a laser-light focus on revenue
and growth and quality programs.

The new year moves forward by bring-
ing back old memories. At least, that is
what Baker University students will be
celebrating with the fall 2014 Homecom-
ing. The event, themed Lasting Traditions
Bring New Beginnings, will differ from
years past in that the competitions will
be class against class in order to promote
more all-inclusive spirit events.
Sophomore Luke Miltz, this years pub-
lic relations chairman for both Zeta Chi
fraternity and the Student Senate, is a big
fan of Homecoming week and believes it is
a chance to do more than just play games
and have fun.
I think that Homecoming is a unifying
event to celebrate, Miltz said. Its a time
when we generate school spirit and have
pride in our university.
Though this year will still feature
events much like Homecomings in the
past, such as Miltzs favorite, Skit Night,
the competitors will be the four classes;
freshmen, sophomores, juniors and se-
niors.
Miltz supports the idea of having the
classes compete instead of campus orga-
nizations such as Greek houses and sports
teams.
I really appreciate the changes in
Homecoming plans for this year because it
takes away the focus on Greeks and athlet-
ics and brings us all together, Miltz said.
In addition to the new competitive
form, the 2014-15 Homecoming will fea-
ture a night of Powder Puff Football, when
the freshmen and seniors who registered
to play will be on the same team and take
on the sophomore and junior teams.
Junior Ashley Riniker is in charge of
organizing the events hosted by Student
Activities Council throughout the week.
She is most looking forward to Powder
Puff football but also enjoys the BU Show-
down event.
Theres going to be musical chairs, tug
of war, knock out competition, and a relay
(at BU Showdown), Riniker said. While
all of that is going on, were going to try
and have a trivia competition about Baker
to celebrate tradition.
Other familiar activities such as win-
dow painting and other BU pride events
will also be taking place this year.
As a member of SAC, Rinikers mission
was to try and incorporate all of campus
into the Homecoming celebration and re-
move the Greek Week feel that has been
associated with Homecoming. Since this is
the first year trying out this new idea, she
hopes that this will be a smooth test run
that may turn into a loved tradition.
I think this year is going to be hard
to figure out how to organize the whole
event and involve everyone, Riniker said.
Its kind of like a work in progress, but
Im really hoping this year will be the
rough start that will get much better and
become a Baker spirit tradition.
Students are not the only ones getting
fired up about Homecoming. Director of
Student Life Randy Flowers believes that
the tradition is something that allows
students to celebrate their universitys
history and show pride and spirit for the
campus.
This is a week to reflect on the history
of the university through engaging the
students to celebrate, Flowers said.
Flowers favorite part of Homecoming
is seeing the royalty candidates.
It gives credit to the students whove
put in time and helped to push their col-
lege career that they are now being recog-
nized as a top leader at Baker University,
Flowers said.
Flowers, Riniker, and Miltz would all
recommend that students take part in the
events during the week and share their
Baker spirit.
Get involved as much as you can,
Miltz said. If you come to Baker and do
nothing but study youre missing out on
valuable student life experiences.
The theme will emphasize the impor-
tance of Bakers road to its status quo.
Baker is full of history and traditions.
There is a lot to our campus that many
dont realize and we want to take a mo-
ment to recognize our past that got us to
where we are, and use those traditions to
excel in our future, Flowers said. There
is a lot of change happening at Baker, and
while we emphasize the positive changes,
its important to remember that past.

Separate the colors
from the whites. Wash one
set in cold, one in warm. Use
this detergent and that fabric
softener in only the colored load
while using just a little bit of bleach
in the white load.
The 2014 fall semester is under-
way and campus housing welcomes
back more than just students, but
their laundry as well. With laundry
fees included in housing costs, stu-
dents living on campus can do their
laundry with no coins needed, though
not every student looks at laundry the
same way.
With so many instructions, prod-
ucts and dials, not to mention the
other tasks to accomplish during the
day, senior Joey Majchrzak does not
have time to worry about learning
how to do laundry. Instead of learn-
ing the laundry ropes as a freshman,
Majchrzak takes his clothes home to
his family.
Before coming to Baker Uni-
versity, Majchzrak had only ever
touched laundry when he was
helping his mother around
the house.
It was something
I never really paid
attention to,
Majchrzak said. I basically followed
the instructions given each time.
Majchrzak has never used the
laundry facilities on campus and
considers laundry a chore. He sees
doing his laundry off campus as an
advantage, but understands the need
to learn.
I dont have to think about doing
my laundry during the week, Maj-
chrzak said. But we all have to learn
someday.
Sophomore Amanda Conrade lived
in Irwin her freshman year but now
calls the Horn and Markham Apart-
ments her home. Conrade is one of
the students who chooses to do laun-
dry on campus. Much like Majchrzak,
laundry was not something she had
to worry about at home, but she did
learn the basics from observation.
I dont think I ever really did a
whole lot, but I helped my mom every
now and then, Conrade said.
Now that she lives on campus,
Conrade does her own laundry often.
She considers her pile of dirty laundry
pretty average compared to her fellow
Wildcats and can survive on wash-
ing one load a week.
I definitely really like Irwins
laundry facilities. Theyre much more
up-to-date, Conrade said. The facili-
ties in the apartments cant always be
counted on. The dryer can be really
finicky so sometimes you have to dry
your clothes twice.
Conrade thinks that there are
benefits
that come
with being able
to do laundry on
campus without hav-
ing to pay.
Most schools you have
to pay for your laundry and at
Baker you dont, Conrade said.
It also saves my mom money at
home since we dont have to pay
for the water use there.
Though freshman Nicole Fienhold,
a resident of Irwin this year, agrees
with Conrade on the free laundry
benefits, she also sees setbacks when
using BUs facilities.
There arent very many settings
on the washers and dryers, Fienhold
said. And you have to move peoples
laundry whove run off and left it all
the time. Overcrowdedness is defi-
nitely a problem.
Fienhold regularly does her
laundry twice a week and uses the
facilities in Irwin. Her favorite part
of laundry is seeing the clothes neat,
finished and clean on her hangers.
I like to have clean clothes so its
nice, Fienhold said.
So while Majchzrak has still
yet to do his laundry as a senior,
Conrade and Fienhold are
finally getting used to the
wishy-washy laundry
machines that the uni-
versity has to offer.

Life lessons in unexpected places:
THE LAUNDRY ROOM
At a time when the university is fac-
ing budget cuts and changes in enroll-
ment, its nice to see effort still being
made beyond the basics of operational
budgets and personnel. The Long Stu-
dent Center is now a functional space
where students, faculty and staff can
comfortably meet on campus.
The funds for the Long Student Cen-
ter renovations came from generous
donations only, which is why the prog-
ress for updates could still continue
even after the Board of Trustees dealt a
blow in saying $1 million had to be cut
from this years university budget.
We as an editorial board are sure
glad the progress continued.
The Daily Grind, which is the new
coffee shop in the student union, gives
students a central meeting place other
than the basement of the library. The
sleek design of the area makes it feel
like the university is keeping pace with
other larger universities.
Before The Daily Grind, there wasnt
a place on campus other than the caf-
eteria to get food or drink. This wel-
comed pitstop has changed students
mornings and afternoons, with a simple
Starbucks coffee or Jamba Juice snack.
The next phase of the Union reno-
vations include outdoor seating and a
large venue for meetings or speeches.
Each of these will help bring the Baker
community together and keep people
on campus, which has been an issue
for the university in the past.
The coffee shop provides students
with a place for homework and sepa-
ration, something that many students
could previously only find after driving
19 miles up the road to Lawrence. At
all times of the day, from open to close,
students can be seen either ordering a
coffee or sitting at one of the new ta-
bles, flooded by the natural lighting of
the space. This is a pleasing sight from
that of last year when students only
saw the student union if they were
walking through to the New Living
Center or stopping into the cafeteria.
Now that the university has a shiny
new science building and student
union facilities, when will the rest of
campus see similar improvements?
Larger state universities have fash-
ionable and functional arts centers,
whereas Rice Auditorium seems to be
stuck in the 70s, and for a liberal arts
college, its interesting to see where
some of the funding goes.
And this isnt the only problematic
building on campus. Just a few days
ago, our own mass media building,
Pulliam Hall, had water damage. Pieces
of the roof were falling off onto the
stairs and much of the carpet was wet
from the damage.
We hope that this is one trend
on campus that continues until each
department and the whole university
can have the same profound effect on
students and the community.

Apple Inc. is attempting to make
a comeback with the new iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Plus that went on pre-
sale Sept. 12. But will it be enough to
bring Apple back to the top?
iPods, iPhones and iPads are
just some of the examples of Apple
products that have taken the stage
and outshone competitors, that is
until recently. Though Apples prices
would suggest its devices are elite,
the devices performances arent giv-
ing the same impression.
What are we really paying for
when we enjoy our little Apple logo?
Exactly that, the logo. Compare per-
formance of an Android device with
that of Apples recent ones, and Id
vote for Android any day. With sales
demonstrating that competitors now
have the edge, the Apple company
certainly needs to do something.
I remember the day I got my iPod
4GS. It was brand new and the next
big thing. That was only three years
ago and I never touch my iPod any-
more. Why would I? My glitch-free
Samsung Galaxy S4 does everything
my iPod does -- faster, brighter and
more efficiently.
The iTunes programming compli-
cates data transfer from the program
to the device. Ive lost countless
songs, videos and photos thanks
to the different iTunes bugs; Ive
wasted hours trying to recover lost
files. With my Galaxy S4, transfer-
ring files is direct and speedy, taking
me no time at all to download and
upload various files.
The only reason I see for Apples
high popularity is the bandwagon ef-
fect. Apple makes consumers believe
that since everyone else has one and
its the most expensive, they have
to have one too. People just dont
realize that in this case, the cheaper
option is actually the better option.
As if file transfer errors werent
enough, recurring issues with
iCloud, the satellite storage Apple
provides to make information easier
to access from all its devices, are
turning more customers away from
Apple. The iCloud does its job, but
too well. Many customers, recently
including celebrities, have had their
private photographs and informa-
tion hacked directly from iCloud.
Just look at Jennifer Lawrence and
Kate Upton.
I like new stuff as much as the
next person, but it would take more
than just a newer, larger screen to
make me switch. Then came Sept. 9,
when Apple unveiled the long-antici-
pated iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Even as a Droid lover, I watched
the presentation and was impressed
by the sharper and alterable camera
settings, vivid screens, new texting
features and storage benefits. The
iPhone 6 Plus might be the device to
change my mind.
The thinner, larger, and rounded
edged iPhone 6 and 6 Plus differ only
in size and color options, but they
have the new iOS 8 processor, mak-
ing them faster and filling them with
all sorts of new functions. While the
iPhone 5S was 4 inches, the iPhone 6
is 4.7 inches and the Plus measures
up to 5.5 inches.
Yeah, I may switch. That is if
Apples gotten rid of the rest of the
worms.

A recent USA Today article titled
Hooking up to getting hitched: Yes,
it can happen states that one-third
of the marital relationships in a given
sample started with a hookup. It
emphasizes that articles and studies
have been talking about the hookup
culture and how it is affecting college
students worldwide.
While I didnt exactly come into
college expecting to find my Mr. Darcy,
I cant help but think that this hookup
culture has destroyed the idea of find-
ing a future husband or wife while in
school.
First things first
So whats a hookup?
Its this purposefully ambiguous
term used by all of us college students
to describe anything from making out
to sex. (Yes, I said it. Sex. College stu-
dents have sex, surprise!) We created
this word to cover a wide variety of
situations so that we can choose if we
want to exaggerate our night or hide
what really happened.
Brooke Davis in One Tree Hill
captured this idea best when she said,
Relationships are just too hard, hook-
ing up with boys is so much easier.
What makes relationships so hard,
though? Its not a new concept. People
have been getting married and living
happily ever after for years now.
Where is this change coming from?
Ive seen couples sitting on their
phones together in a restaurant, do-
ing who knows what, but obviously
not paying attention to each other or
having a conversation. I wonder how
these two can consider themselves
to be in a relationship, unless its one
involving them and their cellphones.
Hookups are easier for our generation
because we are so focused on every-
thing else, from getting good grades
to an exs tweet to a best friends
Instagram, that we dont have the
time and energy needed for an actual
relationship.
Relationships dont work in our
culture because
we dont let them
work.
Why do we do it?
Having some-
one who is just a
thing is easy for us because its com-
pletely low-risk. It can end whenever
needed, because, well, it never even
really started. I dont know how many
times I hear someone say, Oh, were
just a thing. What does that even
mean?
In these things, its better to be
the person who cares less, because
then its possible to walk away un-
scathed when it ends. This fits into
our schedules easier because in col-
lege, we have school clubs, homework
and graduation to worry about. Add-
ing a relationship to the mix is just
one more drop in the bucket. But man,
where did the romance go?
Our culture is much more open
sexually than any of those before; hav-
ing a one-night stand isnt something
to be ashamed of, and in some ways,
its even glorified. We just use that
ambiguous term hookup and tell
whatever story we feel like telling. So
like Brooke Davis said, if its possible
to have sex without a commitment,
why should college students take the
time to be in a relationship?
But when does it turn into some-
thing to be worried about? This open
sexuality leads to a decline in actual
relationships. Im not saying college
is where you have to meet your soul
mate, sorry Princeton Mom, but its
not about racking up a number either.
Are women the
problem?
For Samantha
on Sex and the City,
hooking up is her
way of tackling
the sexual double
standard by having sex like a man.
She feels that by taking control of her
own sexuality, she can keep the power
rather than the man. We are in the
fourth wave of feminism, one in which
women are expected to do whatever
they want to, not to please anyone,
but to make themselves happy.
Theyre called rebel women. They
fight for abortion rights, they raise
hell when a man touches their ass and
they treat their bodies like its a vessel
for feelings. This fourth wave has its
place for women like Samantha, who
want to have the power over their
own body and have the freedom to do
what they want with it. But having a
hookup isnt synonymous with having
power.
Kudos to you women who feel like
youre getting back at men for being
able to have meaningless sex, but I
dont think it really makes us even
with them. Feminism is about respect-
ing oneself and settling for what is
deserved and nothing else.
Relationships in college turn into
sex-only hangouts because guys
are fine with it. The study mentioned
in USA Today says that 50 percent
of men feel positive after a hookup,
and we women are too busy trying to
make a name for ourselves and being
independent. Samantha is a powerful
business woman, without the time or
the desire for a relationship, which is
nothing to be ashamed of.
But honestly, wouldnt it be better
to share it with someone else?
The problem is, we dont care
enough to find out.
Im no expert, but..
Dating isnt for everyone. Thats
easy enough to realize considering
it involves having money for dates,
foregoing college parties for a night at
home with the beau, and above all, it
means having feelings.
If you want to get down to the ba-
sics, a lot of it probably has to do with
the need to make babies and populate
the world, but its more than that. Its
being able to have someone next to
you who cares about the same things
you do.
Im not your mom, so Im not say-
ing stop hooking up studies do
show that it works one-third of the
time - but feelings arent a thing of the
past and neither is dating, yet.
Women, give good guys a chance.
Theyre not all gone yet. Men, delete
your Tinder and ask a girl on a real
date. To the movies, not to your dorm
room.
P.S. - Has anyone even tried walking
under the Baker grape arbor yet?

Word Around
BAKER:
What do you think
about The Daily Grind?
Its really good for when
you have bad days or
rough mornings. Its a
great pick-me-up!
Bethany Oeser
freshman
I love the coffee shop
because my roommates
sometimes buy me coffee
and cinnamon rolls, and it
makes my day!
Bailey Gibson
freshman
I like the shop because it
gives variety to what we
can eat and drink with the
addition of both Jamba
Juice and Starbucks.

The mens and womens cross
country teams swept the Maple Leaf
Invitational Saturday, Sept. 6, at the
Baldwin City Golf Course.
We asked the kids at our pre-
meeting that they go out and run with
their heart, coach Tim Byers said. You
could tell every one of them put their
hearts in front.
Sophomore Jillian Benson led the
way for the women, not only claiming
first place overall, but also snagging
her first collegiate first-place finish.
Benson captured the title in a time of
15:28 with encouragement from Byers,
who was telling her "this is yours"
before her final sprint.
Freshman Sarah Hollis and sopho-
more Rachael Ash followed Benson
closely the whole race and finished
second and third, respectively. Hollis
finished with a time of 15:38 with Ash
only five seconds behind.
Rachel ran a really smart race,
Byers said. She kind of hung back
and let the people get their surge on
in front of her, and then she picked
people off after that.
Byers says he couldnt be more
proud of the way Benson, Hollis and
Ash ran.
They were a very solid top three,
Byers said. A very smart race by those
three ladies.
The women placed four more
runners in the top 20 with their deep
group of freshmen. Autumn Sifuentes
ended up in 11th, Brenda McCollum in
12th, Ziara McDowell in 18th and Cait-
lin Apollo in 20th. Sophomore Amanda
Moody finished the day in 29th place.
The mens team also took first place
overall behind freshman Eddie Esquiv-
el, who finished second individually
with a time of 16:03.
Eddies great, Byers said. Hes
been working real hard at practice and
hes been doing everything he needs to
do to be a better runner at the colle-
giate level.
The men placed five more in the
top 10 with junior Gunnar Hays in
fourth, sophomore Corey Matteson in
sixth, followed by freshman Joe Linder
in seventh, sophomore Jamie Stuery
in eighth, and Andrew Dare in ninth
place. All six finished the 5-kilometer
race with times under 17 minutes.
"That whole group, theyve been
running together every day and push-
ing each other every day," Byers said.
Senior Vincent Tadokoro ended
up just one spot outside the top 10.
Sophomore Andrew Emanuels, fresh-
man Josh Bostick, sophomore Carter
Breithaupt and freshman Johnny Fulk-
erson all finished inside the top 50.
The men and women will compete
next on Sept. 20 in Joplin, Missouri, at
the Southern Stampede.
Runners sweep Maple Leaf Invitational
The craziest season in my 15
years of consciously being a Royals
fan is coming down to its last leg. The
162-game marathon is now down to
its final two weeks, and we still dont
have any idea of how it will end.
Josh Vernier of 610 Sports in Kan-
sas City has been preaching this idea
called the roller coaster since early in
April. The roller coaster simply means
the season will have its ups and downs
but its all about the ride. As clich as
that sounds, I have learned to follow
his advice.
The first time I heard him talk
about it, I didnt quite buy in. I let every
loss affect me; I let every win make
me see World Series lights. I had the
passion Josh talked about, but I didn't
have that appreciation for the ride. But
Ive found that this is not the best way
to watch baseball.
The best way to watch and enjoy
this great game is to realize that it is
grueling and will be awful at times,
but when the good times roll there will
never be anything that compares to
it. Im now a full believer in the roller
coaster.
I have come to realize that nothing
like this has ever happened to me in
my 15 years of passionately follow-
ing the Royals. In that time, the Royals
have only two winning seasons be-
sides this one and 10 of those seasons
resulted in 100 losses or more. Im
used to the heartbreak, but not playoff-
type heartbreak. We received our first
taste of that in 2013 with the Royals
battling for a playoff spot going into
the last week of the season, and that
was agonizing.
The Royals adopted a motto in 2003
from manager Tony Pena: Nosotros
Creemos, which is Spanish for "We Be-
lieve." Well, now is the time to believe
again. We have to believe in Ned Yost
and the lineup that he is posting every
day. We have to believe in the style of
baseball the team plays; the pitching,
the small ball, the defense, the Gold
Gloves. We have to believe in the Kan-
sas City Royals.
Weve been through a lot as Royals
fans this season. Weve seen the win-
ning streaks and the losing streaks. We
saw an average man from Korea come
to Kansas City and change our whole
attitude about the team and baseball.
Weve seen first place and winning. Its
all a part of the roller coaster.
For those of us, like myself, who
werent around when the Royals last
went to the playoffs, prepare yourself
for what will happen in these next few
days. Prepare for the excitement, the
fear and the pure hatred of baseball.
But prepare for how you can celebrate
the Royals making the playoffs.
For these last few games, lets go
back to what Tony Pena taught us to do
in 2003.
Believe.

The BU football team earned an-
other close victory on Saturday, holding
off a comeback attempt by the Sterling
College Warriors to win, 31-30.
With just 1:17 left, Sterling pulled
within one point after coming back
from a 24-7 halftime deficit. The poten-
tial game-tying extra point was blocked
by BU senior Duane Sims.
That was a big play to be made,
and we got a great push up the middle,
head coach Mike Grossner said.
After a three-and-out on the ensu-
ing drive by Baker, the Warriors were
left with one last possession. Senior
Andre Jolly left his mark on the game,
hurrying Sterling quarterback Reggie
Langford on one play, then sacking
Langford as time expired to preserve
the win.
I widened out a bit, hit a couple
moves, and I was fortunate enough to
chase him down, Jolly said.
Jolly, the 2012 All-American de-
fensive end, had a great return to the
field, recording 2.5 sacks in his first
game back since tearing both patellar
tendons last season.
Thats a nice return for him, getting
out there just to see if he could still do
it, Grossner said. Hes not all the way
back to where hell be down the road,
but he sure is close.
Filling in for a shaken-up senior
Camren Tornaden, sophomore Adonis
Powell ran for a game-high and career-
high 163 yards, including a 77-yard
touchdown just before halftime to go
up 17 points.
On the longest run I was un-
touched, and then on my second
touchdown I also didnt get touched,
so that just a phenomenal job by the
O-linemen, Powell said.
Tornaden, the teams leading rusher
in its first game of the season, was able
to come back into the game as a kick
returner, even taking a return 68 yards
to set up a Baker scoring drive. Powell,
however, took over the running load for
the rest of the game.
With both senior Scott Meyer and
sophomore Clarence Clark being out
with season-ending injuries, the Wild-
cats will need both the running game
help and big-play potential from Powell
heading into conference play.
We had a nice little El-Paso connec-
tion with Adonis, and the freshman, De-
Andre Turner-Fults, Grossner said. I
knew that Adonis was a tough runner,
but he showed some breakaway speed
today. I was really impressed.
Sophomore quarterback Nick
Marra bounced back from an ugly first
quarter pick-six with a strong first half
to put the Wildcats up heading into
the locker room. He threw two darts
down the field in the second quarter
for touchdowns, a 26-yard hookup with
sophomore T.J. Holtrop, and a 27-yard
connection with senior Dylan Perry.
I think we came out (of halftime) a
little cold and a little too confident, Pow-
ell said. We should have came out with
the mentality that the score was still 0-0,
instead of coming out with big heads and
thinking that the game was sealed.
Baker defense played lights-out in
the first half, giving up only 30 yards.
The Wildcats ended the game outgain-
ing the Warriors 466-298, but Sterling
was able to come back with the help
of an interception in the end zone by
Kenya Edner, a blocked field goal and
big plays by Antonio Bray.
Coach Thoren told us we needed
to keep the ball out of (Bray's) hands,
but he ended up getting the ball and
making some things happen with it,
Jolly said.
Bray burned the Wildcat defense
with 105 receiving yards, including a
61-yard touchdown in the fourth quar-
ter to make the score 31-24.
Langford threw his second touch-
down to Dennton Hudspeth, a con-
verted quarterback, before the fateful
blocked PAT.
The 2-0 Wildcats will start Heart of
America Athletic Conference play at 6
p.m. on Saturday in Springfield, Mis-
souri. where BU will take on Evangel
University. The Crusaders also finished
the non-conference season undefeated,
most recently beating Southwestern
College 45-14.

The BU womens soccer teams win
on Sept. 12 was a thriller. The spit-
ting rain, changing wind and frigid
temperature were not the only factors.
The Wildcats had to go through a feisty
Wayland Baptist team from Plainview,
Texas.
"Our thought processes are dif-
ferent this year," senior center back
Shelby Schiraldi said. "Instead of
kicking and running, we're trying to
find our target and trying to find our
attacking midfielder."
After a scoreless first half, the
drama escalated early in the second.
Senior Lesley Johnson and Wayland's
Jessica Bell went after a ball on the
near sideline on a Wayland Baptist
counter-attack. Johnson obstructed
Bells chance at continuing her run and
was given a yellow card.
Sophomore Krista Hooper picked
up a yellow card 12 minutes later after
a late sliding tackle.
In the 78th minutes, Schiraldi
received a pass while 70 yards away
from goal.
"I was trying to play our outside
midfielder, but it just happened to luck-
ily bounce," Schiraldi said.
Wayland Baptists sophomore
goalkeeper Bailey Stengler came out to
try and get her hands on the ball before
senior Alexa Fryer or sophomore Keely
Atkin could make a touch. But with a
wet field at Liston Stadium, Schiraldis
ball skipped over the head of Stengler
and took one more hop into the back of
the net. A 70-yard bomb and a 1-0 lead.
"I just got lucky since it was raining
and it was on turf," Schiraldi said. "I saw
the goalie coming out and I was like 'oh
please bounce, please bounce!' and it
bounced and she didn't get there and it
went right over her head."
The Wildcats would go on to keep
Wayland Baptist from scoring for the
last 12 minutes and picked up the
team's third consecutive win. Hooper
and Freshman Megan Johnson led
the way offensively with three shots
apiece. The Wildcats fired off 13 shots
on the afternoon.
"The whole team morale is just way
different," Schiraldi said. "Everyone is
really positive and wants to play and
has so much energy."
The next day, the women moved
to North Park where the Wildcats lost
to Grace College from Winona Lake,
Indiana.
Grace got the scoring going early
with a goal in the 10th minute from
junior Jordan Hairgrove. Hairgrove
fired from a few yards inside the box to
beat Bakers senior goalkeeper Rachel
Theobald.
Bailey Sosa struck back quickly,
scoring in the 23rd minute with her
left foot and buried the equalizer
past Graces freshman goalkeeper
Abby Schue. The game remained tied
throughout the rest of regulation.
In double overtime and with under
10 seconds to play, Grace College junior
Carianne Sobey set up junior Meghan
Wiles with a pass just outside the 18-
yard box. Wiles fired a laser from 20
yards out and beat the outstretched
Theobald. Wiles beat the buzzer and the
Wildcats.
The Wildcats finished with 17 shots
with Atkin and Schiraldi leading the
way with four shots apiece. Grace fin-
ished with 22 shots and 14 on frame.
"No matter the outcome you grow
from it," Schiraldi said. "Our last game
we lost but we're not going to take a
step back from it."
The Wildcats record moves to 4-3-
0, and they will take on the AIB School
of Business in Des Moines, Iowa, on
Friday, Sept. 19. Their next home game
will be the Sept. 24 at Liston Stadium
against Ottawa.

The mens soccer team won its first
game of the season Saturday after-
noon with a dramatic 3-2 win over
the Hastings College Broncos at North
Park.
Junior center back Amer Didic
recorded his first career hat trick.
In the 11th minute, the Broncos ju-
nior goalkeeper Alex Guyer was given
a red card that resulted in Didics first
goal of the game on a penalty kick to
put Baker up 1-0. The Broncos played
down a man from that point on.
Hastings scored the next two goals.
The first came from senior defender
Tyler Ortneib in the 34th minute.
Ortneibs first goal of the season tied
the game at 1-1. Then four minutes
after halftime, junior Felix Proessl put
the Broncos up 2-1 with just over 40
minutes to play.
Ten minutes later, junior Austin
Shineys corner kick ricocheted to
Didic, and he struck for his second
goal of the game from just inside the
penalty box. At the end of regulation,
the game remained tied at 2-2.
In the first minute of overtime
the Wildcats were given a penalty
kick after a handball in the box. Didic
stepped over the ball and buried it
into the back of the net to complete
his hat trick and the win. Didic is the
teams leading goal scorer with four.
This was also Didics 11th career goal
for the Wildcats.
Freshman goalkeeper Nick Riggle
made his second start of the sea-
son and got his first career win and
recorded four saves in the game. Didic
finished the day with all five of his
shots on target. Shiney and freshman
Blake Levine both finished with four
shots after both scored in their last
game against Park. Junior Diego Or-
donez finished with three shots.
Baker improved to 1-4-1 on the
season. The Wildcats will play the AIB
School of Business on the Sept. 19. Af-
ter the road trip, the Wildcats will play
Bethany on Sept. 21 at Liston Stadium.

Senior Gunnar McKenna knows how to bring
energy to the Greek houses on Saturday nights as he
puts his own spin on the parties - literally.
When McKenna began making music after his
high school graduation, he had no previous knowl-
edge of the mixing technology.
I taught myself through trial and error, McKenna
said. I used online sites for technique.
McKenna thinks that the Greek community has
been largely supportive of his hobby, and he is thank-
ful for the memories hes made so far.
I think the social aspect of DJ-ing is my favorite
part, McKenna said. I get to see all of my friends
every night.
Owen Lewis, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fra-
ternity, has known McKenna since he was a freshman
and enjoys his sets.
He does very cool work and you can tell when he
plays that hes spent a lot of time and worked really
hard, Lewis said.
Lewis believes that McKenna has the skills and
ability to be successful in the DJ industry. He said
that if McKenna keeps working as hard as he is
already, Lewis sees no end to McKennas success.
A part of that, Lewis said, is McKennas interaction
with the crowd.
Hes very much crowd involved, Lewis said. If
someone wants a song played, he at least gives it a
shot.
Sophomore Liz Stover, who is currently dating
McKenna, is also really fond of the crowd reaction to
his sets. She said McKenna uses his energizing set
mix to pump the crowd up.
Although a crowd of students, friends and party-
goers might make someone nervous, Stover thinks
McKenna is normally pretty calm before he goes on.
Her favorite thing about McKennas hobby has noth-
ing to do with his sound or the audience.
My favorite part is getting to see him do some-
thing he really enjoys doing, Stover said.
Though he began playing mostly house music,
McKennas style has changed over time based on the
reactions hes received from crowds.
When someone came up my first time DJ-ing and
told me I needed to change some of my songs, it was
a real lesson for me, McKenna said. It taught me
that you have to be patient with crowds.
Though for the past three years he has mostly
DJ-ed at Greek house parties, McKenna has also per-
formed his sets at a sorority formal for Delta Delta
Delta and has had deals in the making with larger
gigs that, for one reason or another, did not work out.
Although it is still just a hobby at this point,
McKenna hopes to try his hand in the music industry
in the future. Regardless of whether or not it is his
career, he still intends to continue mixing on the side.
I hope to get more into producing music with
newer software, McKenna said.
At this point, McKenna intends to continue pursu-
ing his hobby and hopes to expand his passion by
posting his work on SoundCloud and sharing his sets
at BU parties.

Rehearsals for the University Com-
munity Choir have started as the group
prepares for its first concert. The
theme of the concert, which will be
held at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 at the Bald-
win First United Methodist Church, is
Wanderers Upon This Moment.
This year, the choir is a half-and-
half mixture of Baker students and
singers from the Baldwin City commu-
nity. The choir holds no auditions and
is open to anyone who wants to join.
Sherri Pahcoddy, the coordinator
for the Health & Counseling Center, is
a community member who joined the
choir three years ago.
I used to sing in choir in college
and I had missed it, so it was a good
release for me to get back into the mu-
sic, Pahcoddy said. It got me more
involved in the community, meeting
new people and meeting more of the
Baker students.
Many students are in the Commu-
nity Choir because of time conflicts
with the University Choir class. Interim
Director of Choral Ensembles Cathy
Crispino believes the well-rounded
Community Choir gives students a dif-
ferent kind of learning experience.
Its a wonderful experience to
have that intergenerational singing to-
gether. It gives many adults who sang
when they were younger a chance
to explore again, Crispino said. Its
a wonderful thing for them to bring
their years of experience in and to
just share in music making with the
students. Its a great interaction.
The University Community Choir
meets only once a week on Thurs-
days, which means the group has to
be really efficient with what they
do, says Crispino. She added that the
choir requires more outside work for
the singers because they dont have as
much time together.
Sophomore Jessica Harvey is
studying for her dual major in el-
ementary education and piano and
is taking the class as the ensemble
credit for her piano scholarship.
Although she hasnt taken choir since
high school, she recognizes the differ-
ence between the Community Choir
and University Choir.
I like it, Harvey said. Its a lot
different than choir in high school and
its a lot of fun because its not just
Baker students, its people in the com-
munity too.
Harvey, like Crispino, thinks the
diversity in members is what makes
the choir unique.
There are a lot of older commu-
nity members and a lot of them have
choir experience so they bring their
prior knowledge as well as their vocal
ranges, which adds a lot to our choir,
Harvey said.
Harvey hopes to take what she has
learned in the form of vocal exer-
cises and techniques to use in her
own classroom. She also said that
her favorite part of the experience is
Crispino herself.
Shes honestly just a lot of fun,
Harvey said. Shes also super sweet.
Crispino came out of retirement to
join Baker last year as the interim di-
rector of choral ensembles after Mat-
thew Pottertons departure. Potterton
established the University Community
Choir in 2010, and Crispino is more
than willing to continue leading it.
I think the choir has been a very
successful venture, Crispino said. Its
a great organization and Im happy to
be a part of it.
Community Choir begins rehearsals
Te God Committee
One heart. Tree patients. One decision. Tats the theme of
the next Baker University theater production.
The play is a drama about a hos-
pital transplant selection committee
and the process by which patients are
chosen to receive transplants.
In the situation, there is one heart
available for transplant but three
people who need it. Each of the three
patients has the same qualifications,
so complications arise when decid-
ing who deserves the transplant. The
committee essentially plays God to
decide who lives and who dies.
This show is a drama. It has very
adult themes. College students who
want to be challenged and enter-
tained, or adults who have seen what
the real world can do to people, this
show will intrigue them, actress
MacKenzie Sammons said. The
theater department always enjoys the
support of the Baker community.
Showtimes:
Sept. 25-27 7:30 p.m.
Sept. 28 2 p.m.
Performances will be held
in Rice Auditorium.

9 in Rice Auditorium. Students watched as their fellow classmates were hypnotized by Deluca, who selected students from the audience to perform embarrassing stunts, such as dance, talk in vari-
ous languages and give CPR to fruit friends. Photo by Chad Phillips
