UNLINKED

sarah bakerASSISTANT EDITOR

During almost every meeting since spring 2015,faculty members have been discussing ways to

improve the Quest general education program.

Those discussions have resulted in the elimination

of linked courses.

Quest Program Chair Carrie Coward Bucher said

Faculty Senate has just improved upon an already

strong program.

“It is a good program, and I think the changes

that we made have made it as good a program

as it always has been, but we took away some of

the elements that were unnecessarily taxing for

students,” she said.

Most of the “unnecessarily taxing” elements have

been associated with linked courses. Because the

“linked” aspect of Quest has been eliminated, thosecourses will now be called exploration courses. That

means students can take their required exploration

courses whenever they want, as long as it is before

graduation. This change is effective immediately.

For example, under the old system, a student had

to take a Quest class covering ideas and expression

along with a related linked course during the same

semester. With the changes approved by Faculty

Senate, students still have to take both classes, but

not in the same semester.

Current students may be able to use previous

courses, no matter where they were taken, to

fulill the requirement of an exploration course.

In an email to academic advisors, Bucher gave

one sample scenario for QS311: “As an example, a

current junior who is slated to take QS311 this fallmay have taken EC111 in their sophomore year.

That student has fulilled the ‘linked’ requirement

and need only take QS311.”

Junior Logan Pope transferred from Baker last

year and transferred back this year because she

missed BU. Because she is a double-major, she says

the linked requirement caused her to fall behind.

“As of right now, I have to be here an extra year,”

Pope said. “Being able to take my remaining Quest

and linked courses at different times will hopefully

allow some wiggle room with the rest of the courses

that I have to take for my majors. And the fact that

they will not be directly connected is a lot less

stressful.”

Pope thinks that these new changes to Quest arehelpful for students in her situation.

“I think the new changes will be a good thing,”

she said. “It’s stressful trying to schedule all of your

classes for each semester around Quest plus the link.

Being able to take them during different semesters

will leave room for major requirements and will

reduce course conlicts.”

Junior Emily Elliot is also a transfer student and

believes that the new change is a step in the right

direction.

”As a transfer student I have found the Quest

program frustrating at best,” Elliot said. “I haven’t

felt that link classes actually linked well with either

of my Quest classes so far, and I just haven’t seen the

point. Not having to link them up in the semester is

great for added lexibility in scheduling. I hope this

leads to more positive changes and updates.”

Bucher thinks that these changes relect theeffort made by engaged faculty in the best interest of

students.

“One of the things I love about Baker is that

we have an engaged faculty, and we have worked

really hard and put in a lot of effort,” Bucher said.

“A committee of faculty worked over the summer—

those are people who care about students’ best

interests. I am glad that I work in a place where

people are so invested. I think the changes that we

made help students. They are transfer-friendly. They

take away some of the stress. To me it is sort of a

win-win.”

Governor Sam Brownback signed

Senate Bill 133 into law last month,

potentially saving lives on college

campuses in Kansas. This bill is also

known as a Good Samaritan law, and

it protects underage minors from the

law when they seek help for a drug or

alcohol-related medical emergency.According to the Center for Disease

Control, 88,000 deaths yearly, including

4,700 teenagers, are due to excessive

alcohol consumption.

Several states have passed

legislation around Good Samaritan

laws. These laws especially apply to

university campuses where minors

could partake in underage drinking

and be fearful of the law if in need of

medical assistance. Many institutions

have already had similar policies

already in place prior to this statewide

adoption, including Baker University.

“We’ve had this policy for six ormore years,” Dean of Students Cassy

Bailey said. “We have used it on

campus before.”

In the College of Arts and Sciences

2015-16 Student Handbook, on page

21, students can ind the oficial

“Amnesty Policy.” The policy says that

students who seek medical attention

for themselves or others related to

drug or alcohol consumption will not

be charged for violating the University

Code of Conduct.

“It’s a great policy,” Bailey said. “Ourirst duty is to the students and the

community.”

Bailey isn’t the only fan of this

policy. Students have also expressed

their agreement.

“It puts an extra sense that people

should be aware of their surroundings

in an environment where this could

happen and be on the lookout for it,”

junior Rachel Moore said.

Freshman Lahmad Evans thinks this

policy will make students more likely

to report alcohol poisoning on campus.

Students are encouraged to call

911 in the case of drug and alcoholemergencies for the well-being of

themselves and fellow students.

Senior wins Best Undergraduate Student Paper awardclaire sullivanSTAFF WRITER

Senior Michelle Critchfield entered a history

paper on “Identity and Ethnicity in Late-Medieval

Britain” in the 59th Missouri Valley History

Conference on March 4-5 in Omaha, Nebraska, and

walked away with the Best Undergraduate Student

Paper.

Also representing Baker University and

presenting their own papers were Associate

Professor of Religious Studies Nicolaus Pumphrey,

Associate Professor of History John Richards,

senior Anna Hobbs, senior Sam Kendrick and

senior Collin Studer.

“For a student’s point of view, it’s a great way

for people to practice giving papers and maybe

prep them for grad school and get to meet other

professors and scholars,” Pumphrey said.

The purpose of the conference is to enable both

he students and faculty in the region to gather

and talk about history. It is also a place where

professors and students alike present papers on

new information that they have learned.

Pumphrey attended the conference because

he had never presented at a history conference

before. He also wanted to be supportive of the

Baker students.

Students and professors have to submit their

paper to a committee, which then decides what

papers will be presented at the conference.

The authors of the chosen papers are then

notified that they can present at the conference.

The conference itself is based off of the paper

topics.

Critchfield had to submit an abstract for her

paper last semester, and then she had to write a

paper that was at least 10 pages long. She also

had to have sponsorship from a faculty member.

Richards nominated all four Baker students.

She did not know that her paper comparing

the identities of England, Scotland and Wales wasgoing to win at the conference.

Critchfield said that she was definitely excited

about the award and did not expect it.

Richards said he was thrilled when Critchfield’s

paper did so well.

“I was very pleased and excited,” Richards said.

“It’s an excellent paper.”

Humphrey was more than excited about

Critchfield’s success.

“I thought it was amazing,” he said. “She had a

really, really good paper, so it was well deserved. I

was extremely happy to find out.”

Within the next six-to-eight

months, Baker oficials plan to

purchase property that is currently

owned by the Baldwin City USD 348

school district.

The land in question is the large

lot north of Gessner Hall on Chapel

Street and two metal buildings behind

Denious Hall.

“The thought process behind

acquiring that property has actually

been a conversation we have had for

three or four years,” Andy Jett, vice

president of strategic planning and

academic resources, said,He recently sent a letter to school

district oficials letting them know

Baker was interested in the land.

“It’s not that we have anything

ready to go or be built on that land, but

there might be other people interested

in it in the future,” Jett said. “We want

to make sure we have some lexibility

when we do determine we want to

expand the campus.”

Until this month, Baker had

considered helping to fund a

community recreation facility that

would have been open to all Baker

students. This facility could have been

built on the lot north of Gessner Hall.

Baldwin City Recreation

Commission Director Steve Friend

said Baker initially agreed to be

a partner with his commission

and Baldwin City in order to build

a community recreation center.

However, due to conlicting needs,

Baker administrators withdrew from

the agreement.

Friend said part of the issue with

Baker was an emphasis on

access for public school

students after regularschool hours.

”The gym access would

be limited. I would have

team practices from 6 p.m.

to 8 p.m. November to

February during basketball

season,” Friend said.

Friend said Baker’s

decision to withdraw has

limited his budget and made

the funding process more

dificult.

”The difference would

be instead of having 800-

some students come andbe automatic members

and have income I could

count on, I have to sell

memberships,” Friend said.

“I won’t get as much income,

so I can’t spend as much on

the facility.”

Without the Baker

commitment, Friend and

the Recreation Commission decided

to revert back to their original irst

choice, land next to the Baldwin City

High School, creating availability for

Baker to independently purchase the

land north of Gessner Hall.Dean of Students Cassy Bailey

agrees with Baker’s intended purchase

and believes it will be a good thing for

Baker University.

“I’m very much in favor of

owning that land so it gives us some

opportunity,” Bailey said. “I think it’s

a really good idea for universities to

purchase land around to use as a buffer,

not only for growth but also to keep the

university grounds as you wish.”

Any possible construction projects

will not begin immediately, and there

is no certainty about what the land

will be used for.

Jett said there are many ideas, but

nothing has formed into any concrete

plan.

“The purchase will allow us to have

that space when we are ready to grow

the campus,” Jett said.

Many sources have different ideas

of what the campus needs in terms of

growth. For example, Bailey would be

extremely excited to see a new athletic

facility built.

She said many other universities

similar to Baker have impressive

athletic facilities, and it would be

another way to make Baker even

better.

Jett said there are two processes

that have to happen before the land is

oficially owned by Baker University.

The irst is negotiating with the

school district. Earlier this month,

representatives from Baker University

and USD 348 met to start the formal

process.

The second phase will involve the

decision of what would go onto the

land.

“Once we go through that, and if it’s

successful, then the people who will

make the decision as to what goes onto

that property will be the people inside

the institution,” Jett said.

During the first Faculty Senatemeeting in March, President LynneMurray announced that Baker will beraising its tuition by 3 percent.

“I don’t like it, but we had to doit,” Murray said. “That is going to giveus a little more flexibility going in tonext year.”

While this increase onlycorrelates to a little more than $800,changes of this nature are alwaysmet with apprehension. The newcost of tuition for the 2016-2017calendar year is projected to bearound $27,600 compare to thisyear’s $26,730. However, this doesnot automatically make Baker themost expensive institution in thestate.

Kansas Wesleyan University issecond to Baker in tuition costs forthis year with $26,600, a differenceof only $130. KWU has not officiallypublished its projected tuition rate

for 2016-2017, meaning if KWU alsoraises tuition, Baker might not be themost expensive college in Kansas.

Another school at the top of thelist is Benedictine University, whichjust published its annual tuition costfor 2016-17 at $26,730.

Baker is frequently listed as the

most expensive college in the stateof Kansas, but it also has a highernational academic ranking than both

Benedictine and Kansas Wesleyanaccording to many publications.

Since the announcement of atuition increase at Baker, there havebeen a few concerns about whether

or not the increase will push awaypotential students.

Understandably, some currentstudents are not enthusiastic aboutthe increase in tuition, but they dounderstand the reason and the risksassociated with it.

“As a finance major, I do think 3percent is a high increase in tuition,”junior Blake Edwards said. “Baker’sbudget is in a deficit, though, so it ishelpful to raise tuition as long as itdoesn’t cost us in admissions.”

Junior Shannel Rosello-Williamsis another student with fears aboutthe recruitment repercussions thatcould accompany the increase.

”If Baker increases the tuition,I’m concerned about our recruitmentnumbers since Baker already has arep as an expensive school,” Williamssaid.

Williams and Edwards are not theonly ones nervous about the change,but what consequences the decisionwill actually reap, good or bad, onlytime will tell.

EDITORIAL

The Baker community needs to grow. New

recreational facilities and opportunities for

students to hang out and thrive on campus

could do the trick. Though our current campus

space is limited, Baker wants to purchase

land north of Gessner Hall. With this new land

in play, Baker has an opportunity to expand

what it has to offer for incoming students,

particularly athletes.

As it stands now, many students find

campus is lacking because recreational and

athletic facilities are overcrowded. Withstudent athletes currently competing for space

in the weight rooms, and with classes taking

place on and off in Collins Center, there is

certainly a shortage of recreational space on

campus. Though we currently have a weight

room, it is smaller than facilities at most

other universities and needs more treadmills,

ellipticals and stationary bikes. We simply

do not have the space to accommodate both

student athletes and the rest of campus right

now, let alone if the campus population grows

as expected.

Baker takes pride in the ability of its

athletes, with a large percentage of the

student population involved in athletics ofsome sort, so when space gets in the way

of athletic improvement, it’s a concern that

needs attention. If we do follow the expected

trend and introduce even more students to

campus, including additional student-athletes,

something must be done in order to provide a

successful space for athletic training, and this

new land has that potential.

While the lack of space for practice and

preparation is more than alarming to athletic

teams and their participants, the shortage

affects all students on campus, including those

simply seeking to stay fit and use the athletic

facilities recreationally. We are supposed to

be competing on the scoreboards, not on whogets to work out next, and new facilities would

change the game completely.

The new athletic facilities would help

recruiting. Since more than half of the Baker

campus is involved in some sort of athletics,

if we could improve our facilities here on

campus, we would attract more students who

might otherwise choose other schools for their

fancy equipment and ample workout space.

According to Steve Friend, the director

of the Baldwin City Recreation Commission,

plans for a community recreation center came

to a halt because the city, the public school

district and our college had different needs

and expectations. Even though the BaldwinCity Council is still considering a possible

community center near Baldwin High School,

the idea of Baker students using a facility

across town to solve a campus problem may

not entice incoming or current students.

The solution is more workout space on

campus, and there’s never been a better

option. We suggest that administrators and

students alike start a conversation about

benefitting the entire Baker community by

giving us a little room to grow.

A recent bill proposed to the

Kansas legislature appears to be a

way for Kansas citizens to have more

control over where their tax money

goes, but it comes at the expense

of community libraries.

HB 2719 was proposed to the

Kansas House of Representatives

on March 8 and has been stalled

since March 14.

The bill has been frozen partly

because many Kansans are upset

about what exactly it entails and

have begun petitioning. They have

more than enough reason to be

upset, might I add.

The real purpose of the bill is

masked by the idea that it empowers

Kansans with a way of controlling

the amount of tax money that goes

toward libraries. The bill states

that Kansans will be able to vote on

whether or not they want to pay tax

money toward local libraries.

Most taxpayers will not

voluntarily give money to libraries.

If given the opportunity to hold

onto that extra money because it is

no longer a required part of annual

taxes, I’m sure many of us would

choose not to give it away.So if the bill passes, and voters

in some areas choose not to support

their local libraries, then they will

not have access to all of the tools

public libraries have provided over

the years. Just one year of voting

“no” to library funding could be

enough to shut down some smaller

libraries completely.

The only reason I could fathom

lawmakers wanting to make this a

reality is so that the state no longer

has to put in the work and extrafunding necessary to keep libraries

up and running.

This strikes a chord with many

concerned about the state of

education in Kansas. With so many

budget cuts due to Governor Sam

Brownback’s economic plans, many

schools in Kansas are finding it hard

to stay afloat.

It would be unfortunate for

our future generations if access to

public libraries were denied to them

because of a government that

severely lacks an emphasis

on education as a whole.

This bill would especially

hurt libraries in smaller

communities already short

on funding. Such libraries are

sometimes the only source

of an Internet connection

for some residents. This bill

could possibly turn some

rural communities into

black-out zones.

Libraries should be available

to people of all ages. There is so

much to be learned in any given

library, and to have that taken away

from Kansans is scary. It seems

counterproductive.

Education stresses active

learning. It is hard to be an active

learner when your state legislature

takes away libraries that offer many

of the tools necessary to accomplish

that.

Kansas legislators want to cut taxes at expense of libraries

Making room for athletic growth

“I’m intelligent. Some people would

ay I’m very, very, very intelligent,”

Donald Trump said in a Fortune

magazine interview from 2003. Does

t seem unfortunate that there are

people who would say Donald Trump

s intelligent?

The situation is looking bleak for usnon-Trump supporting Republicans.

The boisterous candidate is the

lear front-runner in the race for the

Republican nomination. Meanwhile,

Hillary Clinton has a large lead for the

Democratic nomination.

Is there any way I can stay in Italy

after my semester of study abroad

ends and thereby avoid America for

he next eight years?

It is easy to question how we got

o this point, where political dynasties

uch as the Clintons rule and media

potlight hogs are front-runners in our

eality-TV obsessed nation. It is easy

ust to laugh at the whole situation.

Unfortunately, we Americans

might be laughing a little too often.

Many Italians are watching the U.S.

presidential race with great interest.

Italian columnist Annalisa Merelli

points out that Trump really is not

a joke or laughing matter anymore,

omething that rings especially true

with the results of Super Tuesday now

inal. His rise to power and fame is the

mirror image of Silvio Berlusconi, a

prime minister who recently presided

over Italy.Merelli writes, “Like Trump,

Berlusconi consistently seemed too

absurd to be true. And yet he was.

He won elections again, and again,

and again, thriving off any and all

attention. People didn’t take him or

what he said seriously. Then one day

we woke up to ind our government

overrun by criminals, our economy

destroyed, and our cultural mores

perverted to the extent that theobjectiication of women was

commonplace. There was no more

laughing left to do.”

Berlusconi was an Italian

media tycoon who rose to prime

minister. The Italians loved to

laugh at Bersculoni much like many

Americans enjoy laughing at Trump.

Ethics of Communication

Professor Fabio Binarelli echoes

Merelli’s sentiments: “Trump is not

a joke … his program is alarming …

he is a wealthy, extravagant man who

would govern (the United States) as

a private corporation. He constantly

claims that he will ‘make America great

again,’ but he forgets to tell people that

he wants this for few.”

Many Italians are watching

America as a country headed down a

treacherous path they have already

traveled.

In general, the U.S. election process

is appreciated here. Binarelli expressed

appreciation for the passion and

popularity of the United States but said

he was concerned with the inluence of

“big money” in the campaigns.

“I ind American’s election processvery intriguing,” he said. “Of course,

United States politics has a strong

impact on international balance,

so I hope that Americans will vote

responsibly.”

Italian businessman Alessandro

Guidice also expressed his concerns

over the large amount of money on the

American campaign trail.

“The expensiveness of the election

process raises strong barriers to the

emergence of independent candidates,”

Guidice said. “Access to fundraising

is crucial, and connections with the

establishment are very important.

The longevity of family dynasties like

the Kennedy, the Bush and the Clinton

shows how important it is being part

of the mechanism.”

This year, money has obviously

had an impact in the primaries as

two extremely wealthy candidates

from each party are now the front-

runners. The power grip of money

in our elections seems to deter well-

intentioned candidates.

We tend to take for granted ourfree ability to elect leaders, something

Italians do not. In Italy, the last three

prime ministers were not elected

through a vote because of a call to

overhaul electoral law.

“Don’t think about that like a

dictatorship, it’s more like a broad-

based government,” Binarelli said.

“Nevertheless, this is a pretty unusual

situation and surely it’s a case of

suspended democracy.”

Merelli warns of the dangers of a

potential President Trump.

“Don’t let Trump troll his way to the

presidential candidacy,” she said.

Guidice also expressed his concern

over the Republican Party’s track so far.

“I am very surprised that the GOP is

failing to support a credible candidate,”

he said. “It seems they are going to

waste a great opportunity to elect

an effective President in a race with

no incumbent, and if Trump gets the

nomination, this might even question

the near future of the party.”

Even if you are one of the many

people who view Donald Trump as“intelligent,” consider the responsibility

you have as an American voter to elect

a candidate who will be seen as a team

player among world leaders.

We Americans have power over

what happens within that time. We

have the power to research, the power

to vote and the power to educate

others.

Word Around

BAKER:

Do you think BU needs a

new recreation center?

“Oh, absolutely. I think it

would beneit not only

the student-athletes

but the general student

population.”

“I’m pretty OK with it. I

would be curious what

they would include in the

rec center.”

“I’d be heavily in favor of

that because if you want

to go play basketball, it’s

limited to when the teams

are (not) practicing.”

Sometimes, words just aren’t enough.

People in the ‘90s could only go so far with

capital letters on a small little screen. There had

to be a better way.

That better way was �irst created with

clever constructions of colons and parentheses.

Then soon enough, iPhones and Androids

brought forth actual emojis. A semicolon

followed by a closed parenthesis proved to

be way less effective when people gained

the option to use a little yellow face with a

�lirtatious wink and smile instead.

Not all emojis are so clear in meaning,

though, and just like any picture, different

people can get a different interpretation about

what these mean.

The Washington Post recently covered a

story of a 12-year-old girl who was charged

with threatening her school after she made an

Instagram post that included gun, bomb and

knife emojis.

A different case in New York City recently

involved whether a police of�icer emoji and a gun

was considered a true threat to police.

There isn’t a clear line to say what is

appropriate and inappropriate when it comes to

little symbols on one’s phone. This is only creating

more and more dif�icult decisions to �igure out what

separates a threatening emoji combination from a

perfectly innocent one. On one hand, a student in

class could post a tweet with a skull emoji followed

with a gun and simply mean that he is dying of

boredom in class, but a fellow student in that class

could see that tweet and consider it as a threat.

Text messaging can cause

miscommunication in the �irst place, because

readers can’t always decipher the tone of a

sender. Users are able to create a certain type of

tone with the help of emojis. For example, you

may be trying to keep a conversation alive, but

all you can come up with are one word replies.

If you throw in a crying-tears-of-laughter-face

emoji or a sassy-woman-dancing-in-a-red-dress

emoji, you seem more upbeat and somehow

more involved in the conversation.

Facebook has added emojis to join the

like button, so you can show just how a story

affected you, whether it made you sad (sad

face), or angry (mad face). This feedback tool

was added partly because Facebook saw how

the comment section of certain YouTube videos

created mean and nasty comments and decided

to combat it with emojis.

So this is where we stand. Middle schoolers

are being charged with threatening schools

with pictures. In order to seem engaged in a

conversation, I need to add a little picture to

reaf�irm what I am saying, and I’m supposed to

pick a smiley face or a frowny face to give my

opinion.

Yes, people need to be educated on the

unexpected ways that what they post can be

interpreted by others, but shouldn’t common

sense already take care of that? Internet trolls

will still choose to be mean because chances are

they’ve been doing it for a while and they aren’t

going to stop now.

It’s unclear where the future of emojis is

heading, but both user interpretations and court

decisions will continue to evolve as the text

message keyboards change. Maybe we will see

stricter use of emojis in statuses and posts on

social media. Maybe laws and statutes need to be

put in place to keep emoji threats to a minimum.

As of now, it is hard to say what is right and

wrong to post when words aren’t enough.

Emoji literacy is a thing. ‘Emoji’

comes from the two Japanese words of e

‘picture’ + moji ‘letter, character.’

Emojis are actual letters and are

updated in the computer system’s

Unicode industry standard. Emojis are

becoming more a part of our language

usage. They are not a passing fad.

LEVI BLAYLOCKSTAFF WRITER

Both the men’s and women’s tennis

eams swept Hesston College Saturday,

marking 11 straight victories for

he men, while the women bounced

back from two close losses to Kansas

Wesleyan and Tabor.

“We kind of expected to be successfuloming into the season,” head coach Joe

Ahmadian said of the men. “We knew we

were going to have a lot of talent.”

One player, Spartak Rahachou,

xcited Ahmadian in particular, as the

eam’s No. 1 singles player and ranked

ifth in the NAIA individually.

“We thought we were going to have

him last year, but he suffered an injury

and was unable to play,” Ahmadian said.

We got him a medical redshirt so he

ould play this year, and he has added to

the level of talent we already have.”

Rahachou defeated Hesston College’s

Riley Kingsley in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2,

and also won a doubles match alongside

Taylor Ficke, 8-4. All of the Wildcats’

top six men won their single matches in

straight sets, while the other three Baker

competitors each won their one-set

matches. They also swept the doubles

matches, to which Ahmadian gives credit

to the team chemistry.

“How well the guys get along coupled

with how hard they work for each other

really spells out a successful season,”

Ahmadian said.

The women’s sweep was headed by

the Wildcats’ No. 1 player, junior Jamie

Myers. She is the oldest member of the

team, with no seniors and no fellow

juniors. It has taken time for the team to

jell, according to Ahmadian.

“At this point, we are just trying to

develop experience,” Ahmadian said. “A

lot of the women’s side is just learning

how to deal with failure at times, and

to get better from their losses. I try to

preach to the girls not to have too much

of a short-term outlook, to look more at

the bigger picture.”

Even with such a young roster on

the women’s side, he believes Myers has

provided great insight and leadership

based on her past experience with the

team.

“Her irst year, we weren’t all that

strong, so she knows how to deal with

disappointing losses,” Ahmadian said.

“She really gives the other women the

right perspective and allows them to

move on.”

With the men and women achieving

different levels of success, Ahmadian still

has the same goals set for each team as

they head to the end of the season.

“If we just worry about getting

better and ighting for every point we

can, there is a good chance the results

will come with that focused mindset,”

Ahmadian said.

The Wildcats on both sides will host

Graceland University at noon Saturday.

For the irst time in program history, Baker

wrestling ended the 2016 NAIA National

Championships with two national champions

and three All-Americans.

Both 157-pound Colby Crank and

149-pound Victor Hughes won their

respective weight divisions.

In the inals, No. 4 Crank defeated No.

2 Grant Henderson of Grand View in a 4-3

decision. No. 9 Hughes beat No. 3 Tyler

Cowger from Southern Oregon in a 4-3

decision as well.

“To share that moment with coach Garcia

and my teammates,” Crank said, “was the

greatest feeling in the world.”

Crank ended his career as a four-time All-

American.

“The national tournament is such a grind,

and getting on the podium is really tough so

to be able to do it four times was awesome,”

Crank said. “I don’t think I could have wrote

the ending any better to my career.”

Hughes now has two All-American titles

under his belt.

“Growing up (winning nationals) was

always one of my dreams,” Hughes said. “It’s

really an indescribable feeling to win.”

The only other Baker wrestler to win a

national title is 133-pound Bryce Shoemaker

in 2014.

As a team, Baker inished the tournament

tied for sixth place with 57.5 points. Connor

Middleton took ifth place in the 165-pound

division and earned his irst All-American

title. Tyler Dickman and Kyler Atwood also

competed in the National Championships forthe Wildcats, but did not make it past the irst

day of the tournament.

“It starts with something special like this,”

Garcia said. “We keep doing what we’re doing

and we’ll have more of that.”

Crank believes this is the most successful

team he has ever been a part of, and he thinks

the success will carry on in years to come.

“We performed a lot better than a lot of

people probably expected us to, so I hope it

can be a catalyst going forward,” Crank said.

The women’s basketball team

inished its best season in program

history with a school-record

28 games and lost in the NAIA

national championship game to the

MidAmerica Nazarene Pioneers. The

Wildcats inished the season as the No.

7 team in the NAIA, a program-high.

After winning four games in six

days, the Wildcats were 20 minutes

from winning the school’s irst team

national title. Baker shot 1-17 from the

ield in the third quarter and scored

only two points, allowing the Pioneers

to take control of the lead and never

let go.

On their way to the NAIA national

title game, the Wildcats beat the No.

12 Columbia College Cougars, the No.

5 Shawnee State Bears, the No. 13

Lewis-Clark State Warriors and the No.

19 Benedictine College Ravens.

The Baker women beat every team

on their schedule at least once this

season except for MNU. Although they

lost twice to the Heart of America

Athletic Conference regular-season

champion Central Methodist Eagles,

the Wildcats beat CMU in the Heart

semiinals. Baker also lost to Columbia

College in November and avenged that

with a win in the national tournament.

The graduating seniors are the

winningest class in Baker women’s

basketball history. The Wildcats were

96-38 over the past four seasons, won

the 2013-14 Heart regular season title,

won at least 20 games in every season

and made the irst three NAIA national

tournaments in school history.

Ericka Simpson and Macy Wallisch

moved into the top two spots in games

played in a Wildcat uniform, and

Wallisch owns the record for blocks

(326) and rebounds (902).

Recital to highlight talented student musicians

Chris Grubb Memorial Concert:

‘The Blues Brothers Cruise Again’

Sarah BakerASSISTANT EDITOR

This year’s Chris Grubb Memorial

azz Concert, titled “The Blues

Brothers Cruise Again,” will be jazzing

up April with many surprises, guestartists and quite a lot of jazz. The

oncert will feature the Baker Jazz

Ensemble, its director J.D. Parr on

axophone, two alumni from the

popular 10-piece Kansas City jazz

band Four Fried Chickens and a Coke

and two local performers portraying

he Blues Brothers.

“I don’t want to make a big deal

out of this,” retiring Director of Jazz

Ensemble J.D. Parr said. “But it could

draw a few people to the concert,

or the sympathy vote. It’s my last

oncert as jazz band director. I’ve

been thinking about it a lot over theyear, thinking I need to do something

pecial. But then I had that

opportunity to have Ken Peplowski

here, one of the world’s greatest

larinetist. I couldn’t top that.”

This annual spring jazz concert

s in memory of one of Parr’s late

tudents, Chris Grubb, a saxophone

player who died while at Baker in

he 1980s. Grubb’s name now lives

on through an endowed scholarship

which is awarded to a saxophone

player in the Baker Jazz Ensemble each

year. Donations to the Chris Grubb

Memorial Scholarship fund will beaccepted at the door of the Thursday,

April 14, concert commencing at 7:30

p.m. in Rice Auditorium.

Parr may not top last semester’s

oncert, but he is setting up his last

oncert with the Jazz Ensemble to be a

memorable one.

After 33 years of teaching jazz to

Baker students, many of his students

have passed through his ofice seeking

his guidance and knowledge.

Alumnus Ken Richardson, ’91, and

Doug Oswald, ’90, are among the list

of those students. After graduation,

they went on to be founding members

of Four Fried Chickens and a Coke.

The name of the band originates

from a scene in the 1980 ilm The

Blues Brothers” when John Belushi’s

character, Jake, asks a waitress, played

by Aretha Franklin, for “four fried

chickens and a coke.”

This its with the band’s style

of the Blues Brothers era of music,remade famous rock n’ roll hits from

the 1970s.

Thinking more about this concert,

Parr thought back to one of the “Four

Fried Chickens and a Coke” shows

that he attended a few years ago and

got an idea.

“They had a big springtime

Saturday afternoon celebration, and

there were these two guys who arrived

in this car that was identical to [Blues

Brothers’ movie] car. They just parked

it there and sat out on the hood of

the car drinking beer acting cool all

afternoon long . . . So when I was

arranging this concert, I asked Ken,

‘Would those two guys that hang out at

your concerts be interested?’ . . . We’ve

been in contact with them and they

want to come out too.”

These two men, whom Parr only

knows as the Blues Brothers because

they won’t tell him their real names,

will dance and sing along with thebands during a few numbers.

Some of the songs that will be

featured are jazzy rock ‘n’ roll classics,

like “Respect,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Twist

and Shout” and, of course, the Blues

Brothers theme song “Can’t Turn You

Loose.”

Junior Lora Finley plays saxophone

and has been a part of the Baker Jazz

Ensemble since her second semester

of her freshman year. This year she

will sing “Jailhouse Rock” with the

ensemble, a song she knows well. She

is optimistic the night should have

plenty of entertainment.

She thinks this concert is going to

be fun, that the guest artists are really

interesting and it will all make for a

great concert.

Junior Madison Wendt has been

singing with the Jazz Ensemble since

her freshman year and will be singing

a few songs this year, including

“Respect,” by Aretha Franklin.

Wendt says she “is deinitely

a Blues Brothers fan.” During her

freshman year, Wendt and another

singer performed “Soul Man” from the

Blues Brothers in the iconic sunglasses

and black jackets, because Parr

couldn’t ind a male singer.

Because of Parr’s decision to retire,

Wendt feels as though this concert isslightly bittersweet.

“It is going to be really sad for me

(when Parr retires),” Wendt said. “It’s

always been a dream of mine to sing

jazz music with a jazz ensemble, and

I never thought that I would get the

chance to do that. He is the reason

that I get to. I’m gonna miss him . . .

It is going to be different, and we are

going to miss having him around the

department.”

Parr plans to leave on a high

note with this concert and admits

that there is a possibility of a few

unexpected performances.“There could be some surprises

that night,” Parr said, alluding to his

surprise accordion appearance at last

semester’s concert. “It’s not going to

be classy or sophisticated, it is just

going to be fun. We’re not trying to

make anybody think, we’re just trying

to have a good time . . . There are

plenty of serious concerts going on

here, so might as well have one that is

nothing but smiles and joy.”

Parr’s last concert to feature his past and present students

Each April, the Department of

Music and Theatre hosts an Honors

Recital which features some of

Baker’s strongest and most talented

instrumentalists and vocalists.

To participate in the Honors

Recital, a student does not have

to be a music major, or even an

upperclassman, but they need to

perform in one forum in the fall and

one in the spring. Students also need

to be nominated by their studio

teacher—some main, full-time faculty

members or applied lesson adjuncts.

After students are nominated,

they then must audition for a spot in

the recital. Each year the number of

students selected varies from seven

to 12. This year, eight students were

chosen to participate in the Honors

Recital.

“It is really open to anyone who

works hard in their lessons and

shows a certain level of skill on their

instrument,” Assistant Professor of

Music Marci Zeigler said.

Each student is given 10 minutes to

perform, making the concert about 80

minutes long.

“Instrumentalists will usually

do one work, maybe with multiple

movements,” Zeigler said. “Singers

usually sing two songs, maybe

contrasting pieces.”

Some of the students participating

are also giving their own recitals

later on this semester and can use

this opportunity to practice for those

recitals.

On the day after the Chris Grubb

Memorial Jazz Concert, the selected

musicians will perform in the Honors

Recital at 7:30 p.m., on April 15, in

McKibbin Recital Hall.

Upcoming Student Recitals

The Baker University Department of Musicand Theatre will present the farce “Don’t

Dress for Dinner,” written by Marc Camoletti,

during the last week of April. The play is

the continuing story of the main characters

from the spring 2013 production of “Boeing!

Boeing!” which starred Dante Simmons and

Jesse Miller when they were freshmen.

Instructor of Theatre Patti Heiman is the

director of “Don’t Dress for Dinner.” Knowing

she liked the playwright, she selected this play

without the knowledge that it is a continuation

of the characters from “Boeing! Boeing!”

“Don’t Dress for Dinner” will keep to the

same style and themes as its predecessor:

shenanigans, inidelity, narrow-misses and one-liners.

Tom Heiman, design and technical director,

said that the show is convoluted and fast-paced.

He said that parts of the show remind him of

Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First” routine.

“We’re very conident that this group can

pull this off,” Tom Heiman said. “We have a

very strong cast . . . It has a very complex and

contrived plot.”

Tom Heiman said that they had to buy a new

couch for this play.

“It’s crazy. We’ve bought a new couch

because we knew that this one wouldn’t stand

up to the amount of times that they’ll be tossed

over it,” he said.

Still a few weeks away, this production will

fall on the last week of April, two weeks before

inals.

“This is the perfect show to come to take

your mind off inals,” Tom Heiman said. “You can

just leave your thinking caps at home.”

The production will run April 28, 29 and 30

at 7:30 p.m. in Rice Auditorium and will conclude

with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, May 1.
