What do you do when you’re a professor whocan’t seem to ind the right textbook for yourstudents? Write your own, of course.

That’s just what Alan Grant, professor ofbusiness and economics, did upon realizing he andhis colleagues use a different set of analytical toolsthan most existing textbooks.

“This book is a bit more light-hearted thanother texts, and it really de-emphasizes the use ofgraphs and facts and igures,” Grant said. “I thinkthat makes it more appealing than other texts in itssegment. (My favorite part is) the set of games andsimulations that accompanies the text ... Learningeconomics doesn’t have to be boring, and I thinkthese features help ensure that it won’t be.”

Grant’s textbook, Economic Analysis of SocialIssues , is designed for students who might onlytake one economics course. From global warming

to the shortage of organ donors, the textbookdemonstrates how a variety of social problems havesimilar economic origins.

“Each topic in the book includes a classroomsimulation students can participate in thatdemonstrates why those problems ar ise,” Grant said.

Grant’s limited background in real-worldbusiness led him to become a self-proclaimed“classroom economist” because he has spent mostof his adult years on one side of the podium or theother, rather than in the actual ield.

Junior Andrew Poindexter has taken several

courses through Grant. He said that although Grantdoes not have a lot of real-world experience, histeaching methods are easy to comprehend.

“Every single class I have taken with him hasbeen rewarding and I think he can explain complextheories in ways that anyone can understand,”Poindexter said.

Poindexter considers Grant one of the bestprofessors he has had at Baker because of hisengaging lectures and ability to bring subjects tolife with real-world examples. In the textbook, thesimulations are meant to be educational tools thatprovide a fun way for students and instructors tolearn the material.

Economic Analysis of Social Issues was originallywritten for the Baker University general educationcourse EC111: Economic Analysis of Social Issues.Grant has been using drafts of the textbook withhis students since 2011, which has led him to makeedits over time.

Grant thinks there is potential for other

universities to use his book. In fact, a professor atEastern Kentucky is using it this spring to teach anupper-level public policy course.

“Of course, I wouldn’t be much of an economist ifI didn’t hope this book would make a dime or two,”Grant said.

Grant went through three major drafts and twolighter editing rounds of his book before he had ainished product.

“The irst draft was a lot of fun,” Grant said. “Butit got hard af ter that.”

His drafts were sent to a panel of reviewers who

“It’s hard not to feel a little beat up, even by kindand constructive criticism, after three or four moredrafts,” Grant said.

Grant was glad when the book was shipped to theprinter and he was able to stop writing.

Now that all the heavy lifting is done on histextbook, he plans on writing just for fun. Heis currently working on a pop-econ book, TheEconomics of Seinfeld.

Behind Collins Center lies theoundation of Baker University: the

Old Castle Museum.While the building is full of history,

many students do not know OldCastle’s relevance to the university.

History

The structure was built in 1858when Baker was founded. Old Castlewas designed to be a three-storybuilding, but the third loor could notbe completed because the universityan out of money. The builders went

on to build a roof over the secondloor.

“It’s the symbol of the university,”Associate Professor of History JohnRichards said of Old Castle. “Peopleecognize the building.”

Over time, Old Castle gained anaddition to the back of the buildingand then was sold to become agristmill.

It once again became universityproperty, irst used as a dormitoryand then repurposed for a storageite.

After World War II, it becamehe washhouse and kitchen area for

married students living in the nearby

railer park.In the mid 1950s, Old Castleransitioned into a museum. At irst,he museum was curated by a series

of retired community ministers. TheSanta Fe Trail Association sponsoredan exhibit in the museum. The SantaFe Trail Association of Douglas Countycontinues to help fund the museum.

In addition to funding OldCastle, the historical society fundsBlood’s Post Of ice, which is locatedmmediately south of Old Castle ands considered part of the museum.

The post of ice is a link between

he museum and the original town,Palmyra.

Baker connection

Old Castle is used in many differentways in several departments oncampus. Furniture and artifacts fromOld Castle have been used as propsfor past theater productions and thescience department has bene itedfrom Old Castle’s artifacts whenchemistry students studied historicmedicines from the Civil War.

Dean of Students Cassy Bailey saidstudents might be enticed into OldCastle because of the reported ghostsightings. In previous years, intertermclasses have examined the legitimacyof paranormal activity.

The history department uses OldCastle a source for projects. AssociateProfessor of History Leonard Ortizsometimes holds classes in themuseum. Students in Richards’History Methods class often pullartifacts from Old Castle, researchthem and write a paper over theinformation they have gathered.

“The papers from the students arejust incredible,” Richards said.

Though students may still bene itfrom Old Castle, a lack of fundinglimits access and use of the building.The post of ice is currently being usedfor the storage of some Old Castleartifacts, including a decades-oldprinting press that could provide avaluable history lesson to mass mediastudents.

Renovations needed?

According to Jenny McCollough,the director of archives and museum,Old Castle could serve the campusbetter if it received more funding.

Visitors to Old Castle can seeevidence of the lack of funding;plywood covers some of the windows,the loor inside the front door isbecoming unvarnished. The universityis tight on money and that has led toless upkeep of Old Castle.

“It hasn’t really been on anyone’sradar,” McCollough said.

Richards said the resourcesprovided to the museum are on aneed basis. When the museum wasrenovated in the mid 1990s, thefunding was combined with the

archives budget.In the past, Old Castle was

available more because it used tohave volunteers who offered toursand in past years, tuition increaseshave helped pay utility costs. Thoughseldom used, certain utilities have tobe kept on.

Front lights must be kept on forsecurity reasons. The building hasto be heated and cooled to maintainthe temperature required for someof the artifacts. The museum has tostay between 68 and 72 degrees andmaintain 45 to 55 percent humiditylevels.

One way to help cut utility costs inOld Castle is to put in new windows.The museum could use a new frontdoor since the current one is strippingthe wood looring’s varnish. Many ofthese needed repairs would be costly.

One solution Richards hasmentioned is having members ofBaker University’s History Clubperform reenactments and offertours of Old Castle during Maple LeafFestival in October.

“If it could pay for itself,” Richardssaid. “We can ix it up.”

Old Castle presents history, fnancial stress

Old Castle Museum is located behind Collins Gym and is part of the foundation of Baker University. Built in 1858, it has served as a museum for theuniversity since the mid 1950s, housing artifacts from the Civil War, the beginnings of the university and much more.

Baker University Exercise ScienceStudent Alliance (ESSA) will promoteHealthy Heart Month around the

Baldwin City campus throughout themonth of February.Senior Tanner Clark is a member

of ESSA in charge of planning themonth’s events. He is excited aboutHealthy Heart Month, but says hecares more about what the campuslearns from it.

“We (ESSA) want to raiseawareness during Healthy HeartMonth that unhealthy decisions todaywill affect your heart health in thefuture,” Clark said.

Rachel Campbell, a freshmanrepresentative of ESSA who is alsohelping organize the event, has similargoals for Healthy Heart Month.

“I just hope people start to becomemore aware of what they are doingand what they are eating so they canhave a better understanding of howthat will affect their heart health in thefuture,” Campbell said.

ESSA is encouraging studentparticipation throughout the month.Campbell and Clark both shared theirexcitement for the activities that areplanned.

“I am excited for the Jump Rope forHealthy Heart Month because of thecompetitive nature behind the event,”Campbell said.

Clark is looking forward toeducating other students about theirown health.

“I can’t wait to pass out the heartshaped stickers and take studentsblood pressure because it is goodfor them to know their numbers andknow where they stand,” Clark said.

Campbell believes ESSA is animportant organization to be involvedin and that each event of HealthyHeart Month has its own purpose.

“Nearly all exercise science majorsare in ESSA,” Campbell said. “It givesus all a way to come together andwork together. The events that wedo in ESSA gets us involved with theexercise science major more than anyother opportunities on campus.”

Daily Grind barista brews coffee, happiness

Hayley MorricalSTAFF WRITER

Behind the counter, Kim Kindredcreates seasonal lattes, white choco-late mochas and caramel soy frap-puccinos, all while bringing a warmsmile and a piece of home to studentsvisiting the Daily Grind. Kindredknows the regulars’ orders by heartand enjoys getting to know studentsover their drink of choice.

“I try to remember everyone,”Kindred said. “Sometimes it’s dif icultbecause they switch it up on me.”

A De Soto native, she movedaround until settling in Baldwin Cityeight years ago. Following a jobat the local Kwik Shop, Kindredapplied for a position with BakerUniversity.

With her new job, she hashigher goals than illing drink

orders. Kindred has hopes ofmaking an impact on the lives

of Baker students throughher upbeat attitude and

caring smile.“All the kids re-

ally need something

positive, especially ifthey are away fromhome,” Kindred

said. “If theyhave that

motherlyigure,

I

think it really helps. They can come

and spill their beans and that’s nice.”Freshman Julia Southern sees the

motherly resemblance.“She calls me honey and I love it.

It reminds me of my mom,” Southernsaid. “We had a conversation todayabout Target. She is really nice.”

Kindred strives to make students’days better, not only with caf feine, butwith her attitude as well.

“I want everyone to have a goodday and a good week, because I knowit has got to be tough to go from classto class with homework and papers,”Kindred said. “If I could just brightenyour day a little, it makes my day gofaster.”

Freshman Bethany Oeser agrees-that Kindred’s positive energy beforeclass gives her a jump-start on herbusy schedule and a more promisingoutlook for the day.

“Being a student with a lot on myplate, it brightens my morning. Plus Iget my coffee,” Oeser said. “Morningsare rough sometimes. I really, reallyhate mornings, but between the cof-fee and good vibes I get from Kim, itmakes me feel like I can pull throughthe day.”

Many may wonder what keepsKindred in optimistic spirit from dayto day.

“I get asked (how I stay upbeat) alot and it’s mainly you kids,” Kindredsaid. “I know you have a lot on yourplates going to school and studying.

I igured a happy face and a happy

smile will help you guys get throughyour day. You don’t want anyone tobe down in the dumps, because thatdoesn’t make your day,” Kindred said.

According to Kindred, makingstudents feel at home is the best partof the job.

“Getting to know you guys hasbeen a blessing. A lot of people judgea book by its cover and with studentsyou really get to hear and dig downdeep on classes and things,” Kindredexplained. “You guys make this job goby so fast during the day and I reallylove it.”

A daily goal for Kindred is makinga difference in the lives of studentsand seeing them reach their goalsbefore graduation.

“If I could in luence students Iwould give them praise on whatthey’ve accomplished and what theyare going to accomplish. I want tokeep them on track and ill themwith coffee to help them study,”Kindred said.

While Kindred knows allthe orders of the Daily Grindregulars, she is rarely askedabout her own; a self-pro-claimed “frappuccinogal,” Kindred prefers amocha frappuccinowith skim milkand no “gross”whippedcream.

Between fall and springsemesters, students have the chanceto participate in a “unique learningexperience,” according to the Bakerwebsite, called interterm. With thechanges to credit hour requirements,put into place by the Higher LearningCommission, interterm has a bitof a different feel this year. MathInstructor Eric Hays has beenteaching his interterm Introductionto Board Games for eight years now.Before this year the class was a three-credit-hour course. Because of newemphasis on credit hours, he wasforced to reduce it down to just onecredit. He said that, with his syllabus,

there was no way he could meet theHLC requirements.”I wanted students to focus on

playing the games,” Hays said. “Theystill have to read the rules and writepapers, but I wanted them to still beable to play the games and have fun. Ididn’t want them to be swamped withwork.”

Even though it is only one credit

hour, he still believes students aregetting a worthwhile experience outof the class.

Senior Kaylin McCrary said sheenjoyed her class, Geocaching: AModern Day Treasure Hunt, butfound the day-to-day course work alittle easy with her senior status.

“Interterm is really designedfor freshmen,” McCrary said. “It’sdifferent, because a lot of the thingsyou learn over the years as a student,these freshmen haven’t learned yet.They don’t have the same experiencesas far as writing papers and the wayprofessors are, because they’re still

not used to it.”Geocaching is similar to a treasure

hunt, where people search for caches,or hidden containers, but because ofthe winter weather, class could not beheld outside every day.

Instead, there were many

classroom lessons on the historyof both Baker and Baldwin City.McCrary believes that, for freshmen,the experience is probably verybene icial.

“It’s a good time for freshmen toget a little extra practice on writingthe way professors expect themto write in college as opposed tohigh school, and for me it’s almostsecond nature because I’m morefamiliar with how college is like andwhat professors expect from collegestudents,” McCrary said.

Kaylin’s sister, freshman MadelineMcCrary, enrolled in the Personal

Finance interterm course. For her,interterm was less about a uniqueexperience and more geared towardwhat will help her in the long run.

“I’ve always been interested inmoney and budgeting for myself, so Iknew this class would be something

that I’m interested in and that couldhelp me in the future,” Madeline said.“I think there should be these kindof choices for students too becauseeveryone inds different thingsinteresting.”

Both of the McCrary sisters seeinterterm as a good transition intothe start of the spring semester.

”I like the idea of intertermbecause it’s a little preparationfor the spring semester, instead ofgoing from break straight to a fullschedules,” Madeline said. “It’s moregradual. Plus, it’s also fun becauseyou can see your friends.”

Some students took their learningon the road and utilized interterm’sopportunity for traveling. Destinationsincluded Yucatan, Athens, New York,Atlanta and Amsterdam.

Senior Emma Tinsley spent hertwo weeks in Yucatan with AssociateProfessor of History Leonard Ortiz’s

Yucatan Adventure interterm. Studentshad a chance to explore Mayan ruinsand learn of the culture.

Tinsley said she has always beeninterested in the idea of a travelinterterm and fnally decided to takeadvantage of it in her last year.

“This trip offered a once in a

lifetime opportunity, from repellinginto cenotes to visiting Mayanvillages,” Tinsley said. “I am learningthings I never knew about the culture,both Mayan and Mexican, and now

I have a greater understanding ofboth.”

Although the cost associated withthe trip was a bit of a setback forTinsley, as it is with many students, shethought it was worth the experience.

“When deciding on this interterm, Idon’t think I would have been able tocome by myself for the price we paidand have the same experiences thatI’m having,” Tinsley said.

Rarely do producers decide topostpone the release of a box officefilm, but the threat of terroristattacks delayed the planned releaseof Columbia Pictures’ The Interview .

Starting in June 2014, threatsfrom the North Korean governmentended up initially delaying thefilm’s release from Oct. 10 to Dec.25. While a few final touches werebeing put into place in November,Sony Pictures Entertainmentreported a computer systems hackby a group known as the “Guardiansof Peace,” which was believed to beassociated with North Korea. Aftermore canceled screenings, Sonyannounced on Dec. 23 that it wouldcontinue with the rescheduled

release on Dec. 25.Though ultimately limiting its

releases to certain cinemas, Sonymade it available to the massesthrough digital rentals the daybefore the film’s theatrical release.In fact, according to CNN.com,Sony Pictures ended up collecting$40 million through online rentalsin addition to the $6 million intheaters.

Only a month after therescheduled release of the f ilm,Netflix notified its customers thatthe film was available for theirenjoyment. For those that chose notto see the film in theaters or pay the$5.99 for the 48-hour online rental,now they were finally given the

opportunity to do so in the safetyand comfort of their own homesfor free – well, assuming they had aNetflix subscription.

Ultimately, the release is arepresentation of two ideas thatdominate our nation’s character:our freedom of speech and ourenjoyment of comedies.

First of all, the film’s ultimaterelease accurately reflects theconcept of our Constitution’s First

Amendment. So often in our nation,the idea of freedom of speecharises. By choosing to releasethe film after the threats, SonyPictures (eventually, and after somepressure) demonstrated that weas a nation will not back down toterroristic groups or warnings.

Secondly, I believe that thismovie was simply just another SethRogen and James Franco film. It isa comedy - an American custom.Sure, the film portrays NorthKorea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un unfavorably, but we Americansare drastically more focused onthe comedic relief the film displaysrather than the underlying message.

E D I T O R I A L

For freshmen and sophomores,it’s likely that living oncampus is a good way to meet

new people and solidify friendships,but as time goes on and as juniorsbecome seniors, it seems that theforced on-campus housing is all justa way of putting students a stepbehind.

Upon graduation, there willbe a shocking reality check whenstudents realize that you can’t keepyour house at 80 degrees all thetime without consequently rackingup a giant heating bill.

Forced on-campus housingalso stops the learning process of

budgeting and living within yourmeans. In the world outside ofa dorm room, meals aren’t all-you-can-eat and groceries can beexpensive - especially with rent andutilities on top of that.

Money aside, there are socialeffects on students as well. Livingin a dorm room or apartment canactually hinder some students’social process by forcingrelationships.

Some might not feel like partyingevery night and fear going outsideof their room to face a social world

that is different than the one theyprefer.

Over interterm, there werecon licts in the dorms that resulted

in the expulsion of one student.In any university dormitory, thereshould be some ground rules. Butat a university where students areforced into campus living, thoseground rules become more of achallenge than an option.

Students at the University ofKansas who choose to live oncampus agree to abide by the rulesset by administration. While weeditors aren’t condoning alcoholor drug use, we recognize that

most students have probablydone something in a dorm room

that resident assistants wouldn’tapprove of. If students at BakerUniversity were allowed a littlemore liberty and leniency whentrying to move off campus, it couldhelp keep problems from spreadinginto the halls.

College students are goingto experiment - this isn’t a newconcept. And isn’t this the period ofour lives when those who chooseto experiment are allowed, or evenexpected, to do so? By allowing alittle more leniency in choosingstudents worthy of off-campus

housing, we could help makeeveryone feel more comfortable.

In 1839, American photographer Robert Cornelius unknowingly started atrend that would span centuries to inspire 21st century rap music, apps and pop

culture, and most recently, a plane crash in Denver. Cornelius took the irst self

portrait, or what is more commonly referred to as a sel ie.Twitter dubbed 2014 “The Year of the Sel ie” after the word was mentioned

on the social media outlet more than 92 mil lion times in that year alone. Now

more than ever, teens and young adults are engrossed in the art of the sel ie.

“With a sel ie, you can control the angles. You can control how you look,”

senior Jillian Miller said. “When someone else takes a picture, it obviously neverlooks as good. I don’t really like the way I look most of the time so it’s one of the

times that, when I look really good that day, I can document it and post which

one I want.”Miller is an avid Instagram user, posting sel ies to her account as she sees it.

But she is not alone; there are more than 35 million Instagram posts containing

“#sel ie” in the caption.

Junior Nathan Garcia thinks that, in a way, sel ies are kind of like a drug forthose who indulge. He believes the stereotype that guys should not be too big on

posting them, but women are more likely to snap and edit a shot.

“I think people get hooked on the attention that their selfes get whenthey post them,” Garcia said. “Whether it’s a guy posting a shirtless one

or a girl posting one dolled up, people always comment something nice.Some people need the assurance to feel good about themselves.”

The current generation of college students, now properly termed as

“Generation Like” by PBS, uses social media as a means of developing socialrelationships online, rather than having to invest in interpersonal, face-to-face

communication.

Baker University Professor of Psychology Robyn Long showed the

“Generation Like” documentary to her Human Development class last year. Longbelieves that ive years ago, she would have classi ied sel ie-takers as narcissistic

or, in nicer terms, early adopters of technology.

Today, Long thinks this previous narcissism has become the new norm.

“Instant feedback is really intoxicating for people,” Long said. “I also thinksocial media interestingly gives us the opportunity to share the best or most

important part of our lives and gives us the chance to tell the part of our lives to

make it sound better.”This intoxication, according to Long, comes from the idea that the more likes

a photo gets, the more valuable a person feels.

“I think it means you have a lot of social capital ,” Long said. “Peoplewho are getting more likes appear to be people who are better likedin the social world .”

Based around the psychological idea called the relative deprivation principle,

people evaluate their lives and subsequent satisfaction according to the

information they receive from their peers. Long believes many of the sel ie-

takers are ixated with being popular online. They may hope that 40 likes on asel ie translates into popularity on a college campus, but rarely is that the case.

Miller thinks there is an af irming feeling attached to the number of likes she

gets on a post.

“It’s always a confdence boost to get likes on a picture, but I think it’s halfme wanting to like validate myself and prove that ‘yes, you are pretty,’” Miller

said. “My friends know I’m pretty. They know what I look like, but (posting

sel ies on) Instagram is mostly for me.”

More than that, Miller believes there is an art attached to the process.“I think everyone de initely has an angle that they think is the prettiest,”

Miller said.

A study of female sel ie behavior in ive different cities around the world

found that women in Sao Paulo, on average, tilt their head 16.9 degrees whentaking sel ies. Women in New York, however, only tilt 7.9 degrees and women in

Minneapolis showed no tilt at all. Miller said that, for her facial features, tilti ng

her head is the most lattering angle for her.The problem with this “art,” according to Long, is that it gives an unrealistic

representation of someone’s life .

“I think the stories we tell allow us to make meaning of our lives and meaning

is a good thing, but I also think we get this skewed view of how great everyone’slife is,” Long said. “When I see a sel ie, I know they spent three hours getting

ready, but I think they automatically woke up like that.”

While Garcia thinks they can be cool and a relatively accurate description of

someone’s life, moderation is needed in a world of openly social media.“If you post these pictures over and over, people get used to them and you (as

a person) become less interesting,” Garcia said. “You gotta leave something to

the imagination.”

All in all, Long, along wi th the rest of the academic community, is just waitingto see where this sel ie phase goes.

“I think it’s a unique experience to this group of adolescents,” Long said. “I

don’t think there is any generation prior that has had any experience like this.”

In the second half, the Wildcatsell apart, shooting 34 percent fromhe field and 20 percent from three.

“I thought we did some goodhings in the first half,” head coach

Sean Dooley said. “But they out-hustled us and outplayed us andhat’s what killed us.”

MNU was more efficient than the

Wildcats were, shooting 92 percentrom the charity stripe and pullingdown 34 rebounds against the ‘Cats’

4. As a result, the Pioneers cameout on top, 75-60.

Dooley hoped that his players

would keep their heads up andstay prepared for their next gameagainst CMU.

“Hopefully our guys bounceback and give us an even bettereffort on Saturday,” Dooley saidafter Thursday’s loss.

CMUOn Jan. 31 in Fayette, Missouri,

the Wildcats came out firingagainst Central Methodist. Seniorguard Jared Fulks came away witha team and career-high 28 pointson the night, shooting 76 percentfrom the field and 100 percentfrom behind the arc with two threepointers.

“I was just following the gameplan,” Fulks said. “Coach said hewanted us to pound it inside withthe dribble or the post feed, so anytime I saw an open lane or a goodopportunity that I am capable of, Ipunched it in.”

Senior guard EJ Carter put in25 points of his own, shooting 58percent from the field and 100percent from three with three.Freshman guard Brock Mick alsocontributed seven assists in 31minutes of play.

“We were just being athletesdoing everything that we could towin the game,” Fulks said.

The key to Central Methodist’s

86-76 win was senior Mitchell Farr,who went 13-19 shooting, nine of 11from three, and knocked down hislast seven trifectas to lead all scorerswith 37 points. Farr’s performancewas his career high for points and

field goals made.The loss drops the Wildcats’

Bowlers aim for national tournament in Wichita


After a strong fall season, the bowl-ing team is ready for the spring. Theteam has 13 players in total to make upboth a junior varsity and varsity team.There are usually seven on varsity andsix on junior varsity.

The team competed in eight tourna-ments in the fall, inishing in the topive on several occasions.

On Nov. 1, the team hosted the 2014Jayhawk Collegiate Classic at RoyalCrest Lanes in Lawrence and inishedin fourth out of nine teams. FreshmanMadison Kent led the Wildcats withan average score of 178 and inishedin 19th place. Junior Becca Wood andsophomore Lynae Soderholm inishedin 20th and 21st, respectively.

“We came really close to beatingWichita (State),” sophomore Krista Hillsaid. “They’re a force to be reckoned

with I’d say, but we almost beat themand that’s an accomplishment becausethey have a lot of international players.”

The team also inished in seventhplace at the Leatherneck Classic inDavenport, Iowa, and took sixth placeoverall at the National Collegiate TeamMatch Games hosted by McKendreeUniversity in Fairview Heights, Illinois.

After Christmas break, Baker cameback and played its irst tournament

on Jan. 17 in Addison, Illinois. The ‘Catsinished in the top half of the KEGEL/ISBPA Midwest Collegiate Classic.

“This was our irst tournamentof the semester so we still have twomore tournaments to try and make upground,” Hill said.

Wood and Soderholm are room-mates of Hill, and Hill thinks they’veboth played well this season. Hill alsocommented on the play of junior Al-lyson Ware.

“Allyson has had a really goodseason and she’s actually our anchor

bowler,” Hill said.Bowling tournaments usually

consist of two days of play. The irst dayusually consists of team games, whenive bowlers play individual head-to-head matches with another team’s iveplayers. They’ll play six team games.

On the second day, they usually playa style in which the whole team bowlsin one game. The irst person will bowlthe irst and sixth frames; the second

person will bowl the second and sev-enth frames, etc.The anchor bowler, which is Ware’s

position, bowls the ifth and 10thframes. The 10th frame has the poten-tial for three shots if three strikes arethrown. But if the bowler doesn’t strikeor spare in the irst two shots then shedoesn’t get a third shot. The anchorposition can make or break a game.

“They’re all important but she’sthe one who has to make the shots inpressure situations, and I think she’sdone a really good job with that,” Hill

said. “So she’s had a really good seasoncompared to last year.“

The team will play in three moretournaments this season, includingsectionals. Sectionals are similar to aregional format for many other sportsin which the teams are selected to playat different regional venues to deter-mine who makes the national tourna-ment.

“We draw for where we go,” Hill

said. “So we’re going to go to FortWorth this year or we’re going to go toAddison, Illinois.”

The top four are allowed into thenational tournament. There are iveother locations around the country,which means the national meet fea-tures the top 20 teams in the country.The national meet is in Wichita thisseason.

“We were saying how convenientit would be for us to make it and we’donly have to go two hours away,” Hillsaid.

After a 70-63 loss to the MidAmerica NazarenePioneers on Jan. 29 in the Collins Center the women’sasketball team overcame shooting 1-of-17 fromhree-point range to defeat the Central Methodist

Eagles 63-54 on Jan. 30 in Fayette, Missouri.Reigning Heart of America Athletic Conference

Defensive Player of the Year junior Macy Wallisch didnot score against the Pioneers on 0-2 from the ield andn only 10 minutes of playing time. But Wallisch cameack the next game and had what head coach Ben

Lister called “her most complete game of the year.”“We were really happy for her,” junior Ericka

Simpson said. “I think she’s been struggling a little bitut she felt good after today’s game and we were alleally happy for her. She pulled through for us.”

Wallisch was a perfect 4-4 shooting, 5-5 from theree throw line, scored 13 points, grabbed 10 boardsnd rejected four shots. She played for nearly thentire duration of the second half and was a wreckingorce in the Baker defense, which gave up only 18econd half points.

“Those are the kinds of numbers that we felt likeMacy was capable of giving us on a nightly basis,”Lister said. “For the irst time in a long time Macywas not only healthy physically but mentally she washere.”

While Wallisch played one of her best games, theBaker three-point shooters, who came in No. 26 inhe NAIA at 33 percent, started the game 0-16 fromeyond the arc. But inally with 4:55 seconds to play,reshman Ebony Parker scored the team’s irst threeointer of the game. Parker inished with six pointsnd ive rebounds.

The Wildcats forced 18 Central Methodisturnovers. Ericka Simpson believed this was a bigeason why the team was able to win.

“Our coach always tells us its going to come downo stops and creating turnovers,” Ericka Simpsonaid. “First half we didn’t do so well and that’s why

were down. But when we came out that’s all we wereocused on.”

Senior Kyrstie Ehm was the only other Wildcat indouble igures with 10 points on 4-12 shooting. Ehmcored seven points on 3-13 shooting against MNU.

Ericka Simpson scored nine points after scoring onlyhree against the Pioneers. Simpson was 4-9 shooting.

The Wildcats inally pulled ahead with eightminutes left after trailing for nearly the entire irsthalf. The Wildcats would maintain a ive to sevenpoint lead throughout the inal minutes and wouldnail some key free throws after back-to-back horriblegames from the line. Baker inished 16-25 at the lineafter going 20-44 in the past two games.

“We did some really solid things defensively in thesecond half and it starts with locking down their bestplayer,” Lister said. “If we show up and guard like thatin the irst half I’m not sure that it’s a nine point game,it might’ve been a 20-point win.”

Sophomore Mackenzie Cook kept her strongdefensive and offensive play from the previous gamerolling into Saturday’s game. Cook scored a careerhigh 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds on againstMNU. Cook scored six points against the Eagles in only11 minutes on the loor and provided tough defense

on Central Methodist’s junior Taylor Cornellison.Cornellison, who averages 13 points per game, waslimited to only nine on a 4-12 shooting game.

Sophomore Kelsey Larson scored seven points inSaturday’s game after 13 on Jan. 29. Larson has beenbig on the glass as well with nine rebounds against theEagles. Since Kelsey Larson became a starter, she isaveraging almost nine points per game.

The 13-8, 6-5 Wildcats have seven days betweengames before meeting the 6-13, 3-8 Graceland YellowJackets in the Collins Center on Saturday. The last timethe teams met, Baker won 65-56 in Lamoni, Iowa.

“Graceland is a very good offensive team,” Listersaid. “They’re one of the harder matchups in ourleague because they don’t play a true ive.”

The ifth-place Wildcats will tip off at 2 p.m. onSaturday afternoon. Every win from here on out willbe vital come the conference tournament.

Five Baker theater students claimed the GoldenC Wrench, taking irst place in their division at theKennedy Center American College Theater Festivalin Bloomington, Minnesota. The competitionwas held Jan. 18-24 at Minnesota NormandaleCommunity College.

This is the seventh year a team of Bakerstudents has participated in the competition, butthe irst time the team came home with gold.

Baker competed in the Stage Crew Showdown,in which 14 teams tested their technical skillswith such tasks as hanging lights, tying knotsand making costume changes. Scoring was basedon how quickly and accurately each task wascompleted.

Baker’s team, named “The Majchrzaks” afterone of its members, is composed of seniors RyanBearrick, Joey Majchrzak and Cheyenne Queen,junior MacKenzie Sammons and Knif in. Theypicked their team name to confuse the judgesduring their announcement.

“We named our team because we thought itwould be funny to see people try to pronounce it,”Sammons said. “It was really great to see peoplecheer for us because they would be like ‘let’s go…you guys!’”

In addition to winning their division, the Bakerteam also took home the Stagecraft Spirit Trophy.

“While some of the other teams did basketballcheers, our team got up and cheered for thetechies,” Tom Heiman, advisor for the technicaltheater team, said. “The whole room wasscreaming with them by the end of it.”

Heiman hopes to keep the traveling trophy foranother year.

“We are buf ing up the trophies for everybodyto see,” Heiman said. “We will defend the trophynext year and see if we can hold on to them.”
