Boyd Center opens doors to students

The Ivan L. Boyd Center for Collaborative Science Education was scheduled to be completed by the time the school year began, but construction is not expected to be completed until the end of September at the earliest.

Despite the setbacks, some classes were able to begin as scheduled Wednesday in the building most students still call Mulvane Hall.

What are the biggest changes for the 2012 school year?

The Ivan L. Boyd Center for Collaborative Science and Education has been a work in progress for the past several months. The building was originally planned to be completed by the time students returned to campus, but after setbacks, it is estimated crews will still continue to work through September. Page 3

A buzz has surrounded the Ivan L. Boyd Center for Collaborative Science Education since construction crews took over the project in the spring.

The noise can be heard through talk of the building around the Baldwin City campus or by crews working on the building’s additions and renovations.

The Boyd Center, also known as Mulvane Hall, was originally planned to be completed by the time students returned to campus. However, setbacks occurred after crews discovered the floors on the second and third levels could not bare the weight of cement.

“They had to redesign the floors and then have them approved and all the engineering,” Professor of Biology Darcy Russell said. “That set us back about five weeks, which is why we are not done. The top floor was good and the bottom floor was on ground, but those middle two floors were a real problem.”

Construction and renovation of the building began from the top down, so the fourth floor was the only level to be completed before classes began.

“My one disappoint is that I was kind of hoping that we would be completely done before the students got here and we are not going to be,” Russell said. “We are probably still going to be working all the way through September, but it’s still happening.”

To help preserve the history of the Boyd Center, parts of the outside of the building were saved to line the walls of the interior and the original terrazzo

staircase can still be found in the main front entrance.Larger and more specialized labs add to the new

features of the building, as well as student lounges and workspaces.

Junior biology major Chip Allen is excited to not only learn in the new facilities, but to share those experiences with his classmates.

“I’m super pumped to get in there and share a new Baker monument with a monumental class,” Allen said. “I absolutely love my class of biology students and after this really hard last semester where we didn’t have like a home, now we are going to have a castle and it’s going to be awesome.”

Allen said he will utilize the spaces the building has to offer and plans to make it a second home.

“I will be able to live in Mulvane in more of a literal sense than classes in the past,” Allen said. “I will be able to spend a lot more time in there. When people say ‘oh yeah, I practically live in that hall,’ well, we will be almost living in that hall.”

Dean of Students Cassy Bailey said she definitely believes the Boyd Center will benefit Baker’s students.

“I am so excited for our students who will be experiencing that building for the first time or for the 18th time,” Bailey said. “I think what a difference it will make to the educational environment.”

As many readers may have noticed, the print edition of the Baker Orange is different from that of years past.

With online and social media becoming more prevalent in society because of the ability to quickly break news stories, staff members will now have an online-first mentality.

The Baker Orange has been one of the most prestigious weekly print newspapers among private schools in Kansas over the past couple of decades, but this will be the first year the newspaper will be a monthly publication.

When there is a big event on campus or involving the Baker community, the Orange staff has set a goal to have a story posted on www.thebakerorange.com the day of or at least one day following the event. The Baker Orange also has a Facebook page and two Twitter accounts, @bakerorange and @bakersports, which will provide links to stories and other breaking information.

While the Baker Orange will no longer be published on a weekly basis, the 24-page magazine style format, just like today’s print version, will still recap important stories that have occurred over the past month and report on upcoming events.

For those who do not regularly check www.thebakerorange.com, Twitter or Facebook, anyone can register to be emailed a weekly newsletter.

Shortly after Labor Day weekend, anyone interested in receiving the newsletter will need to send an email to [email protected] to indicate that they want to be added to the newsletter email list.

One other change viewers of www.thebakerorange.com may notice is the convergence between the Baker Orange and KNBU-TV. The television station will have immediate event coverage linked to www.thebakerorange.com from its YouTube page. KNBU-TV station manager Brad Barnes and Baker Orange editor Chris Duderstadt will start hosting pregame coaches shows as one of the main convergence projects for the Baker Orange website.

While the staff understands that many students, faculty and alumni have become accustomed to picking up a copy of the Baker Orange every Friday, each member of the staff hopes that those who have read the print edition will go online to keep up-to-date on what is going on within the Baker community.

The staff hopes everyone who has read the weekly version of the Baker Orange will continue reading the monthly version and will check out www.thebakerorange.com. Simply liking the Baker Orange Facebook page or following either one of the Twitter account will send people to the Baker Orange website, too.

Q and A with Cassy BaileyAlthough you are a familiar face on campus, there are many new faculty and staff members here. What can you look forward to this school year with so many new people to work with?

I’m very excited to welcome them to Baker. I think it’s exciting to always have new people in because they bring stories and ideas and thoughts from other places. And that’s already being seen true with our new executive vice president, (Brian)Posler. I’ve really enjoyed hearing his ideas for Baker and how to make it better and growing, especially the honors program.

What are you looking forward to most about this school year?

That is a hard one because every year I get excited about the start of school, and it’s not like something has changed or that something is brand new that stands out to me. But every year there’s this energy that happens in August when all the students come back whether they’re new or returning. And so, every year I get this way. I just get really excited for the possibilities of what’s to come. So there’s no one highlight that I can come up with, it’s just I’m really excited to begin another great year.

What did you do this summer and what was the most exciting thing you did?

Our summer was really interesting. When I say ‘our,’ I mean my family. Last summer, my daughter volunteered at the humane shelter and as a result of that, we now have four dogs. Now keep in mind these are four dogs that nobody else wanted. Like, they were not adoptable dogs. So as a result, this summer we have put in new floors throughout our entire house. We got the house painted, and we did some work at the house. It’s really uninteresting stuff, but it was really great to get that done. We did take a weekend trip and we went to St. Louis. It was 1,000 degrees and we got the see the Cardinals. We also went to go see the musical ‘Chicago’ outside. Otherwise, I watched my son play a lot of baseball, so I was at the baseball fields a lot.

You just recently received your doctorate degree. Can you tell me about that experience and what made you decide to work toward your doctorate?

The experience was tiring for sure, but in the same breath, it was great to be back in the classroom. I started classes in August 2009 and completed my degree May 2012. There were lots of sacrifices I asked of my family. I missed games, school plays, family dinners. They were so supportive Earning the doctorate was very important to me especially working in a place of

education and hopefully as a role model for others. My dissertation was about Baker students, their success and retention. I am hopeful that the information gathered can be helpful to the university and students.

What is one piece of advice you’d give to new students here at Baker?

Hold on and let go. Hold on to your inner values and who you are and let go to explore new opportunities, meet diverse people and gain experiences.

This month at BUChoir members begin auditions;Potterton prepares for concerts

Every fall semester, students have the opportunity to join three different choirs at Baker University.

The concert and chamber choirs both require an audition, and the community choir is open to all Baker students as well as the Baldwin City community.

The community choir was scheduled to have its first practice Thursday, while the concert and chamber choirs will start their year off by attending a weekend retreat Sept. 14-16 at Camp Chippewa in Ottawa.

“So much of choir is teamwork and I think this retreat will be a great bonding time,” said Director of Choral Activities Matthew Potterton. “We have a lot of new freshmen this year and I want everyone to get to know each other so that we can trust each other as we share our hearts in making music.”

The choirs will be preparing for their first upcoming concert, which will be Oct. 26.

This concert, which is normally held at the Baldwin First United Methodist Church, will be in Rice Auditorium as an opportunity for the choirs to experiment with unique sounds and styles of music, Potterton said.

All three choirs, along with the entire music department, will also be preparing for the annual Vespers Candlelight Concert, which will be in its 83rd year.

Director of Financial Aid Jeanne Mott was recognized for her creative leadership and high integrity in professional development by being presented a regional leadership award from the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.

She was nominated by the Rocky Mountain Association of Student Financial Aid, which is the state region Kansas is represented in. She was selected for her involvement in training with state and national conferences, mentoring her peers and her dedication to her profession.

“This is a humbling experience to have my name added to a list of people in my regional division because there have been some outstanding people that have gotten this award and it means that I am up to par to keep up with their status,” Mott said.

The conference will take place in October in Omaha, where Mott will receive this award given out to one person per region. She is excited for the moment to be called upon because she will be recognized for her leadership and will also be able to spread Baker’s name to others.

“It made me feel grateful to be appreciated for the dedication I have given my profession,” Mott said. “My life led me from one thing to another and led me to my passion that I never would have thought I would enjoy as much as I have.”

Mott earns financial aid honor

The National Society of Collegiate Scholars honored Baker University sophomore Courtney Boedeker by selecting her as Baker’s Chapter Award recipient.

The honors organization recognizes first and second-year college students with a focus on scholarship, leadership and service.

The award was given to one member in each chapter of NSCS organization among universities nationwide. Each recipient was chosen based on the ability to demonstrate leadership and for their scholarship and integrity.

“I thought it’d be cool for one of the new members to get it to show how our incoming class can represent NSCS well,” Boedeker said.

Boedeker, a new member to the organization last year, applied for the award after a discussion at one of Baker’s NSCS meetings and reading about it online.

Because one member of the chapter was guaranteed to receive the award, members were encouraged to apply.

“I decided to apply for the award because there’s one person from each chapter that gets the award, so I thought there are pretty good odds of getting it,” Boedeker said.

After a summer of renovations, repairs and remodeling, Gessner Hall is now occupied with students and residence life staff members for the school year.

After issues with the heating and cooling units last year, crews spent the summer making changes to the building in order to make it more appealing to students.

“The piping for the heating (and) cooling system was replaced,” Jeremy Portlock, director of Baker University’s physical plant, said. “All heating (and) cooling fan coil units were replaced. Replacing the original units will increase cooling and heating efficiency and reduce equipment downtime and repairs.”

The air conditioning units have a digital display which makes it easier to control the temperature of the room.

“The air conditioner really needed to be replaced because they were kind of getting moldy and stuff,” junior resident assistant Daniel Davis said. “It’s good to have the clean air now.”

New carpet was also put into the upstairs common living area of Gessner Hall and in the basement game room area. Some of the rooms were scraped and repainted as well.

“I think the (resident assistants) that have

moved in have noticed the difference and the building seems to be much cooler. They really seem to enjoy it,” Teresa Clounch, director of residence life, said. “And they like the new carpet because it just makes everything look a little fresher. We moved some furniture around downstairs, and just trying to do some different things.”

Because renovations weren’t complete at the time the resident assistants moved in on Aug. 2, the Gessner staff had to stay in Irwin Hall the first week they were on campus.

Although the resident assistants have moved into Irwin, their staff is one member short. Normally, there are four resident assistants and one senior resident assistant in Gessner, but because of low resident numbers, only three residents assistants and one senior resident assistant were needed.

“There’s no one living in the Irwin basement either because there (are) not enough residents to fill that space,” Davis said.

Universities compete,unite to supportlocal food pantries

Baker Serves teams up with OU for can drive

Baker and Ottawa Universities are setting aside their rivalry in a joint effort to restock community food pantries.

Baker Serves is teaming up with Ottawa University’s community service club, Get Off the Couch and Help Another (GOTCHA), to host the second annual Tackling Hunger Together Food Drive.

Each university will collect as many canned goods as possible. The winner of the competition will be announced Saturday during the Victory Sports Network First Down Classic football game between Baker and Ottawa.

All items donated will go directly to the Baldwin City food pantry and OU’s canned goods will go to a food pantry in Ottawa.

There are donation boxes in each of the residence halls, as well as in Harter Union Lobby, so students can easily donate items.

Food pantries are always in need of staple items.

“Peanut butter and toiletry items are good,” Baker Serves President Lauren Williams said. “Those staple items that families always need normally go quickly.”

Last year, Ottawa donated almost twice as many canned goods as BU, so Baker Serves members are hoping to retaliate against Ottawa and donate the most items.

“We really want to beat them this year on their turf since they beat us last year on our turf,” Williams said.

Baker Serves will collect all of the donated items in the boxes today at 4 p.m.

If students are unable to make the 4 p.m. deadline, they can bring items to the second floor of Harter Union before Saturday’s game, which is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

There will also be a table set

up next to the visitor’s entrance of Peoples Bank Field during the football game in Ottawa, where Baker Serves will have members available to accept students’ canned food items.

With its up-to-date layout and new features, the recently-renovated Baker University website has been redesigned to be easily navigable for current and prospective students and faculty.

After receiving feedback that the school website was difficult to navigate, a task force made up of teachers and staff looked at what was working with other institutions and implemented some of the feedback they have received over the years to create a design that was more modern and dynamic.

“We took pains to ensure that everything had a more straightforward navigational path,” Neil Kulbiski, director of marketing and communications, said. “Adding style and fresh content was also a high priority.”

As for style, the Baker website has more visually appealing aspects and is incorporating images into the design.

The new content will be obvious to students as they attempt to navigate their way around the redesigned webpage. One of the most noticeable changes is the

“take me to...” box at the top of every page. This will give students and faculty quick access to email, myBaker portal, the library webpage and other key online resources.

Kulbiski’s favorite addition to the website is the informational slideshow on the homepage. This feature highlights key events going on around the campus and illustrates to users the things BU has done.

The Baker Athletics page also went through a transformation while trying to keep up with the new era of technology.

“The department as a whole felt like it was the right time to update the athletics website and move into the ever-changing technology world with a new look,” Tyler Price, assistant director of athletics and communications, said.

The website now gives fans and visitors an easier way to follow their teams via links to live video, live stats and correlating Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr sites.

“I think the newer site is more friendly-looking,” sophomore Gunnar McKenna said. “However, at first it takes some getting used to it, but once you have it down, it’s easily navigated. Overall, I like

it better than the old site simply because it’s more user-friendly.”

In addition, there are now full-length profiles on all coaches and staff, with profiles of student athletes to come.

“I believe the students will be thrilled with the new site and will really enjoy all of the new looks,” Price said.

Although it may take some getting used to, the task force hopes that the new layout will increase students’ efficiency and help all website users.

There will be minor tweaks made throughout the year and the teachers and staff in charge of the design urge students to click the feedback button if they have comments or suggestions.

Number ofemails to be reduced

Frustration has built among students the past few years about receiving several emails a week that have not pertained them, but Mark Bandré, vice president for enrollment management & student development, believes a solution has been found.

Bandré came up with the idea of consolidating the emails that deal with certain organizations into the format of the Wildcat Wire, but have it sent out daily as opposed to weekly.

“So what faculty and staff will do when they want to get an announcement out to all students, instead of just sending one email, they’ll go to a webpage, type in their note, which is submitted to a generic mailbox that Information Technology controls,” Bandré said.

After the student or faculty member sends the message to the IT department, there will be one person who will look over what has been submitted and then it will either be approved, edited or denied if what is sent in is not appropriate.

“All things that are approved then go into a cue and then every morning ... Monday through Friday at 2 a.m., this note goes out and will be in everyone’s email account first thing in the morning,” Bandré said.

Bandré believes that students will be pleased about not receiving as many emails, but he is worried that students might delete the Wildcat Wire email and miss out on all of the daily information.

While the Wildcat Wire will list information and events for different organizations, Bandré also hopes that athletic, musical and religious events such as chapel will be included as well.

“I think it will be a positive just from the standpoint of reducing traffic on emails when the majority of the campus might not be involved in that,” junior Sean Webb said. “I also think it will have more people looking at the Wildcat Wire because I don’t know how popular that is on campus to be honest.”

Last year’s Student Senate President Caleb Watts worked with Bandré last year on brainstorming ideas to reduce the number of campus-wide emails, and he is encouraged with the process in which messages will be sent out.

“A lot of other schools do this,” Watts said. “A lot. It works out a lot better than our (old) system.”

Watts and Bandré realize that there could be other changes to daily Wildcat Wire as the year goes on and students react to the transition.

“If anything, it is at least the first step to solving the big problem,” Watts said.

While the daily Wildcat Wire is expected to cut down the number of emails sent, messages of high importance such as ones from University President Pat Long, Dean of Student Cassy Bailey or updates on finances will be sent out separately.



From a new dean of academics to new faculty in the admissions department, Baker’s faculty and staff has seen a big turnover.

Tyler Price, the assistant director of athletics for communications, came to BU after being the assistant sports information director at Park University for the last four years. Price graduated from Kansas State University and worked as an intern at the NAIA office after earning his degree.

“I was real fortunate to come into place with this job opportunity and to come in at such a prime time,” Price said. “Coming in at the beginning of the new athletic website launch and having such a warm welcome to the staff has been a great experience.”

Price is looking forward to what the school year will hold and to help promote the university in any way possible.

“I am really looking forward to continuing the success of athletics, inside and outside of the classroom, and showcasing more online features to the website,” Price said.

Randy Flowers is not a new face to Baker University, but he received an opportunity to assist Dean of Students Cassy Bailey by becoming

the assistant director of student life.Flowers will still assume his

roles as an area coordinator for residence life and Student Activities Council advisor, but will take on initiatives with the office of Student Life Leadership and help in the administration of student organizations.

The areas that he will be helping to assist in will be orientation, Up ‘til Dawn and service opportunities put on by the Student Affairs Division.

Although many students and faculty have said they will miss former Director of Student Life Brett Bruner, who accepted a position at Fort Hays State University, Flowers believes his experience

with SAC and as the area coordinator has helped proved his worth to add to the Student Life Division.

A change in the admissions office during the summer was with Angela Butell, the former visit experience manager, who was promoted to the associate director of admissions.

She will be recruiting students from the Johnson County area to

attend Baker University and will be adding her knowledge to the team of counselors.

2012 Baker graduate Amanda Hershberger recently was hired to replace Assistant Director of Admission Micha Johnson on the admissions team. She will be covering the southeastern part of Kansas and is excited to use her years of experience in the admissions division to help recruit students to pick Baker as their university.

The final change in admissions was Cheryl McCrary replacing Butell as the new visit experience manager. She will be in charge of the University Admission Assistants, managing campus tours and campus visit days. She has a long line of work in the admissions division and is excited to be back on the team.

Brian Posler, the new dean of academics for the College Arts and Sciences, has fully embraced being hired at Baker University. Posler said he had a warm, friendly welcome to the campus and that his first month on the job has been

phenomenal. “I knew this was a very special

community by the great welcome I got and am really looking forward to helping Baker move forward within its mission and new initiatives,” Posler said.

He found this job by the advertisement that was posted for the open position and felt like it would be a good fit for him.

“After my research of the university, what really intrigued me was how close it was to home and also how I had an interest in Baker as a graduating high school senior and how it still caught my attention 20 years later,” Posler said.

Posler said that he has missed the scale of a smaller institution where he can get to know the faculty and students. He is looking forward to being a part of a tradition-rich community.

Gretchen Doenges is another new hire who will help in the student affairs division. She will serve as an area coordinator for residence life in the New Living Center.

She is originally from Texas after graduating from the University of Texas-San Antonio as an early childhood education major.

Here is a list of faculty and staff members who are either new or have taken new positions.


The argument over whether the South Lawrence Trafficway should travel through a section of land previously part of the Baker Wetlands has finally been resolved after over two decades of debate as the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the trafficway project in July.

The area in question consists of 573 acres of wetlands that lie between Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Street in Lawrence.

“We’re still waiting for work on the trafficway to start but it’s nice to finally have the discussion settled,” Roger Boyd, director of natural areas for Baker University, said.

Boyd and his family have been taking care of the wetlands since the late 1960s and have seen the area used as corn and soybean fields, pasture land and even as a dumping ground.

Finally, after years of work, Boyd has converted the land back into the original wetlands.

When a proposal came forward from the Kansas Department of Transportation to build a road through the wetlands, Boyd and others involved with the wetlands were not in favor of the project.

However, after listening to KDOT’s mitigation plan, Boyd realized Baker and the wetlands would come out

ahead if the project goes as planned. KDOT’s mitigation plan grants

380 extra acres to Baker while only taking 56 for the project. KDOT is also providing approximately $9 million in an endowment fund to manage the wetlands.

“Throughout my time working with the wetlands, we have only just been able to scrape by in maintaining our area,” Boyd said. “Now because of the deal with KDOT, we as a university will be able to do things with the land we would never have been able to do on our own.”

The plans for the new land include prairie grasslands, more wetlands, bike trails, camping sites and building a visitor’s center.

“I’m very excited about the visitor’s center because one of the things I feel passionately about is getting kids excited about science through their elementary years,” Professor of Biology Darcy Russell said. “I’d like the visitor’s center to be a place where educators can bring kids for field trips and really get into nature.”

Senior Milan Piva, a summer research intern for the wetlands, also likes the idea of a visitor’s center.

“It’s going to be a huge educational tool for elementary students,” Piva said. “It’s really a different experience to actually go see things first hand instead of just reading from a textbook.”

Even though funding for the visitor’s center won’t be available for at least another year, Boyd has already begun plans for the building.

“We’re already busy planning the layout and designing displays,” Boyd said. “It’s kind of tedious to have to wait, but at least we know the money will be there.”

Baker hopes to begin construction on the 10,000-square foot visitor’s center by 2014 and has already begun restoration of other parts of the land.

“I think everything we’ve ever dreamed of doing is in the plans,” Boyd said. “Everything is going great.”

For two-and-a-half weeks, U.S. citizens had the chance to celebrate the accomplishments of numerous American Olympians in the 2012 Olympic Games. Americans were able to feel a sense of patriotism by supporting the U.S. Olympians, but that feeling should be one Americans have all the time.

An easy way for people to show they care for their country is by exercising the right to vote.

Although the 2012 presidential election is still over two months away, time is running out to register to vote. Kansas residents have until Oct. 16 to register to vote, which is just more than seven weeks away.

As students seeking a college education and looking to enter the workforce within the next few years, this generation should have a heightened interest in this election.

According to www.census.gov, the only age group demographic to have a substantial increase in voters from the 2004 election to the 2008 election were 18 to 29-year-olds.

It is encouraging that the age demographic consists of college students or recent graduates, but there were still just roughly half of the 18 to 29-year-olds in the United States who voted in the 2008 election.

It is not too late to register to vote now to help raise the percentage for the 2012 election.

While many people already have their opinions set in stone of what they think of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, it is our moral duty as American citizens to vote. We should do background research on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan. Whether your political views are liberal or conservative, take these next couple of months learn what Obama’s and Romney’s beliefs are on different issues that could have a major impact on the United States.

For those who have not already registered to vote, there is a change in the process to register from past elections. On Jan. 1, the Kansas Secure and Fair Elections Act went into effect, which requires voters to show photo identification prior to registering.

Douglas County is offering 71 voting precincts, and four of them are located in Baldwin City. The four locations include the following: the Baldwin City Fire Station, 610 High St., Baldwin Junior High School, 400 Eisenhower St., Baldwin City

American Legion, 807 High St. and Vinland United Methodist Church, 1724 North 692nd Road.

All four of these locations are within a reasonable driving distance from the Baker University College of Arts and Sciences campus.

For two-and-a-half weeks, millions of Americans supported athletes who will likely not have a great impact on their lives. It should not be too much to ask for U.S. citizens to register to vote so they can pick the leader of their country for the next four years.

Meaning of greatness questioned after commercial

In an era when a typical television commercial contains annoying jingles about great jeans, school supplies and credit reports, people usually find Nike commercials to be more than just one notch above the rest.

Nike launched a new advertising campaign during the recent Olympic Games, and while there are always controversies during the Olympics, those controversies usually involve athletes’ performances and attitudes or the judges’ marks.

This year however, a small controversy arose over one of the Nike commercials. This commercial didn’t have the customary Nike tagline of “Just Do It” but of “Find Your Greatness.”

“Greatness” is often associated with Olympians, so Nike choosing a 5-foot 3-inch, 200-pound boy named Nathan to be in its latest commercial has raised some eyebrows.

In the commercial, Nathan is shown silhouetted against a country sky as he shuffles down a deserted country road. Nathan runs and runs, clearly exhausted, as a narrator speaks of greatness in a revered tone, informing the audience that “We’re all capable of it. All of us.”

While some might think this is an interesting theory to launch during the Olympics where the world’s best athletes compete to see who is the greatest, others have expressed feelings of disgust for the commercial.

Some have argued that not only is Nike exploiting people who are

overweight, but also claiming that being overweight automatically means you are lazy.

Before people get in a frenzy over a commercial, let’s face it, it really is only meant to inspire people to buy Nike products. Let’s consider the fact that Nike might not have been saying that fat means lazy. Perhaps Nike was trying

to convey that effort is what makes you great.

While it’s obvious that not everyone is going to be an Olympian or a world class chef or a Nobel prize winner, that doesn’t mean one can’t achieve greatness.

All too often people become discouraged because they are not the best at something, whether that be playing a sport, having

knowledge of subject in school or even accomplishing a simple skill. This commercial is demonstrating how that doesn’t matter. Effort is what makes you great. Aspiring to be more than what you are makes you great.

The idea that greatness is something everyone is capable of instead of greatness being a rare gift reserved for the chosen few is something we should all learn.

Now Nathan, who has been inspired through his experience filming the Nike commercial to continue exercising even though he has proclaimed that he hates running, can be an inspiration to people just like Olympians are.

The lesson to learn from Nathan is that no matter how much you weigh, what your IQ is or how strong you are, don’t let anything stop you from achieving your own greatness.

BU student reflects on summer spent away at Camp Lindenmere

After my last summer working as a camp counselor at Camp Lindenmere, I believed there was no way in which I could ever top the experience. Then I returned this year and completely crushed that belief. This summer not only met my expectations; it topped them by 1,000 times.

I was no longer spending the first few weeks learning the ropes of being a new counselor. Instead, I was focusing on creating stronger ties with my campers and making friendships with people that will last a lifetime.

It wasn’t just the big parts of camp that grabbed my heart; it was getting a friendship bracelet at the end of the day, dancing and singing to our favorite songs during clean up or even laying on the porch talking about nothing late into the night.

I don’t know what I will do if I hear “Call Me Maybe” or “One Thing” another time,

but at the same time those are the songs that have the most memories attached to them. Nothing destroys music more than going to camp and yet I still let them play on my iPod.

Being a returning counselor, I also got to see girls grow over the year. I got to be there for the great moments like a first kiss and bad moments like break-ups, but it was mainly being there to listen when they just wanted to talk.

In six weeks, I managed to get closer to people than I thought possible. Camp draws the same type of people. We are from different parts of the world and we have many different types of personalities and talents, but in the end, we are there for the kids and we bonded over that.

You don’t really know someone until you have been there for all of a person’s highest and lowest moments. It makes it possible to accept them for who they are entirely. At camp, you are guaranteed

to see those moments.The most important lesson

I learned at camp was that if you have never been to camp, then it’s difficult to understand

what happens. If you have, it’s almost impossible to describe. It’s a separate world. It’s a bubble that keeps you away from society and a place you never want to leave once you

arrive.The friendships I made

don’t just end with the summer. They continue late into the year even when we have gone months without seeing each others’ faces. These are friendships that took only weeks to grow and yet feel stronger than those I have with people I’ve known for years.

I am most thankful for the existence of Skype and Facebook because without them I might not get through the year.

We became family this summer and now I have memories than will stay in my heart forever.

Football team primed to winfirst HAAC title in 19 years

Hoping to get back to the proud football tradition Baker University was built upon, head coach Mike Grossner has worked to transform the program back to its promising history.

While the past few seasons have seemed to be an effort to build for the future, it is obvious that the future is now.

The Wildcat football team enters the 2012 season as a top contender in not only the Heart of America Athletic Conference, but also in the NAIA. Grossner’s veteran squad has reloaded and earned a national preseason ranking of No. 18 along with a projected third-place conference finish.

Although it has been 19 seasons since Baker has brought home a conference title, this is the year the Wildcats will do it again.

In order to build a winning program, a coach must build a strong foundation. In Grossner’s eight seasons as head coach, the team has improved in nearly every aspect of the game. Grossner has put together five consecutive winning seasons, each with its own national recognition.

In 2011, the Wildcats’ high-powered offense averaged more than 35 points per game and ranked 11th nationally in scoring offense.

The Wildcats return all-HAAC quarterback Jake Morse who will enter his junior season. As a sophomore, Morse led the HAAC in passing yards per game with 212 yards per outing.

Seniors Jordan Robertson, Aaron Rieschick and Joel Murphy return with preseason All-America honors at center, right tackle and tight end, respectively.

The receiving corps also looks exceptionally strong for Baker. Seniors Jake Green, Tyler Hatcher, and Kyle Bolton are expected to have milestone seasons.

But what may be some of the Wildcats strongest weapons are the new faces to the program. Freshman Jermaine Broomfield and

University of Southern California transfer Dillon Baxter are two new components added to the Wildcats’ already explosive offense. Baker will have high expectations for Broomfield and Baxter after losing junior Scott Meyer to a knee injury in a preseason scrimmage against Fort Scott Community College. The Wildcats appear to have a handful

of weapons, backed by more depth than the program has seen in years.

The offense isn’t the only positive light for Baker. The defensive unit also has its fair share of stars entering in 2012. Senior Ryder Werts will lead the attack with an experienced corps of linebackers and a veteran defensive line. Up front, senior Mike Faison returns at the nose tackle with senior Mario Armstrong and sophomore Andre Jolly at the end positions.

What stands in the way for the Wildcats is a decade of dominance. MidAmerica Nazarene University and Missouri Valley College have owned the Heart of America, winning six out of the last 10 conference championships.

This season, the Wildcats have plenty of talent and experience to change history and capture their first conference title since 1993.

The Baker University football team will kick off its season against arch rival Ottawa University at 6 p.m. Saturday in the third annual Victory Sports Network First Down Classic in Ottawa.

After falling to Ottawa 24-14 in 2010, the Wildcats bested the Braves 41-16 last year at Liston Stadium. The No. 18-ranked Wildcats were picked to fi nish third in the Heart of America Athletic Conference and the No. 11-ranked Braves were selected to win the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference.

The ‘Cats only graduated 10 seniors from last season and have nine players who were named as USA

Football News NAIA Preseason All-Americans.

“We returned a lot of guys with experience, so they know what to expect,” junior Jake Morse said. “They know the system with offense and defense both.”

Morse returns as the co-HAAC Offensive Player of the Year, and after being knocked out of the game against Ottawa two years ago with a concussion, he wants to start the season off right against the Braves.

“Yeah, the (2010 Ottawa) game was kind of rough,” Morse said. “I don’t remember too much of it. For us, it is just about going in and redeeming ourselves and getting another chance to go into their place.”

The Wildcats had a chance to prepare for Ottawa in a scrimmage Saturday against Fort Scott Community College. Head coach

Mike Grossner was pleased with the performance of his starters and backups, but despite the effort given by his football team, he was not all smiles after the scrimmage. Early on in the scrimmage, junior Scott Meyer’s day and season ended as he tore his anterior and interior cruciate ligaments and his meniscus.

The loss of Meyer, along with fi nding out that last year’s starting fullback Kyle Rooks will be unable to play this season because he is out of eligibility, has changed Grossner’s outlook on who will play in the backfi eld.

“We lost our two most-experienced backs from last year in one weekend and luckily we’ve recruited and developed and our team will be okay,” Grossner said.

While the depth of the backfi eld is a small area of concern for the

Wildcats, the defense stepped up to create seven turnovers in the scrimmage against the Greyhounds.

Baker players realize they will have to be crisp offensively and defensively to defeat the Braves, but special teams have decided the outcome of the game the past two seasons. In 2010, Ottawa ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown and last year, the Wildcats’ special teams unit scored all of BU’s 17 fi rst-half points.

“I think it might even be a bigger impact than the past two games (against Ottawa) because we’ve just been fi ne-tuning all the things that, you know, it may have looked great from the stands or from the audience standpoint, but we know we have a lot of things that we need to fi ne-tune so they’ll be perfect,” senior Reggie Harris said.

After back-to-back appearances in the NAIA National Tournament, the women’s soccer team is ranked No. 6. in the national preseason poll. How is the team dealing with the pressure that comes with these expectations?

I don’t think we think of it as pressure this year. It’s just something to work towards and build on. And this year we are super excited with the team that we have, and it’s just something that sets our goals high and to aim for.

The team kicked off its season Wednesday at home against No. 9 Westmont College. After going into two overtime periods, the game ended in a 2-2 tie. What was it like to begin the season that way?

To begin the season that way, it wasn’t terrible. It was our first game that we’ve played. We didn’t have any preseason games and it was their third game. So coming out and tying the No. 9 team was not bad for us. We worked really hard and had good work ethic the whole game, so I think we were pretty proud of what we did. We know what we need to work on and where to move forward.

Five of the team’s nine remaining non-conference games are against nationally-ranked teams. How will that play as a test for the team throughout the season?

It definitely is a big test for us. It means we have to work harder, push harder through every game and just stay focused throughout conference knowing that we need to be on top.

The U.S. Women’s National Soccer team captured its fourth gold medal in the five Olympics that have featured women’s soccer. Were you able to watch any of the matches this summer?

I didn’t really get to watch. I watched replays of most of the games, but they were pretty awesome. Abby Wambach is a beast.

BU Scoreboard

Football: BU @ Ottawa

The Wildcats will face Ottawa University at 6 p.m. Saturday in the Victory Sports Network First Down Classic in Ottawa. The showdown was selected as the NAIA Football Game of the Week .

After the Baker University men’s and women’s soccer teams both made deep runs into the NAIA tournament in 2011, they earned some respect in the 2012 national preseason poll by being ranked in the top 10.

The women’s team is ranked No. 6 in the country and kicked off its season Tuesday against No. 9 Westmont College at Liston Stadium.

The Warriors got on the scoreboard first with a goal from Aolani Rueff midway through the opening half, but BU bounced back with an equalizer from sophomore Alexa Fryer to tie the match at 1-1 going into halftime.

The Wildcats then took the lead in the 75th minute as junior Ashley Sampson found the back of the net to put Baker on top 2-1. It did not take long for Westmont to respond as the Warriors tied the match again at 2-2 in the 79th minute on a goal from Kaci Mexico.

The game went into two overtime periods, but ended in a 2-2 tie.

“I think we came out pretty good,” Sampson said. “There is a lot of room for improvement.”

The Wildcats will continue to face ranked teams as five of the nine remaining non-conference matches are against top 25 competition.

“We don’t want to hide,” head coach Nate

Houser said. “We want to go out there and play the hardest schedule we can. We want our girls to be ready for conference because that is when the emotions come into it.”

The Baker men’s team gradually climbed up the national poll last season, but this year, the Wildcats are ranked No. 2 in the nation.

The Wildcats return 10 seniors and four juniors from last year’s final four team and also have 15 freshmen who will join the roster.

Senior Rich Klein realizes that the team will no longer be able to sneak up and surprise opponents this year, but he believes the experience of the returners will help the team reach it’s goal of reaching the NAIA championship game with a chance to bring home a national title.

“We always say that we want to be in the very last game of the season,” Klein said. “We want to set the bar as high as we can, you know. I believe it is important to set the bar as high as you can and not reach it instead of setting the bar too low and reach it. Obviously we want to make it to the final of the national tournament and win the whole thing.”

The men’s team will open its season today on the road against No. 7 University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma and then play again Saturday versus Oklahoma City University.

The women will play against the same teams today and Saturday. USAO is ranked No. 24 while OCU sits at No. 11 in the women’s national preseason poll.

After ending its season placing in the top 25 at the NAIA National Championships in 2011, the Baker University men’s cross country team is craving more.

The Wildcats received a bid to nationals last year after edging out Graceland University in the Heart of America Athletic Conference Championship. Six seniors return from the championship team, and six freshmen came in to help make up the 17-man roster.

“Obviously we are very excited about this season,” head coach Zach Kindler said. “I think we have an opportunity to do some things even better than what we did last year.”

The team grabbed the final spot in the NAIA Men’s Cross Country Top 25 Poll, and is the only team in the HAAC to a receive a national ranking.

Senior Aaron Caldwell said competing at the national level “whet the team’s appetite” for the new season.

“I think last year was just one of those moments where we finally realized what we could do,” Caldwell said. “Our goal for this year is to go as high as we can go, and we know we have the talent right now where we can be a top 15 or top 20 team in the nation.”

Caldwell said the team is healthy and is the best it has looked this early in the season.

“This is our fittest team to ever come into this school and probably the most talented,” Caldwell said.

The men’s team will begin its season Sept. 1 by running a 5,000-meter race at home for the Maple Leaf Invitational.

The women’s team will also start off its season with a 4,000-meter race at the Baldwin Country Club.

In 2011, the women’s team fell behind the Eagles of Central Methodist University in the HAAC

Championships, but is looking to reclaim the crown.

“We had a successful season last year, but we didn’t win conference like we were planning,” junior Ashley McBride said. “That’s in our brains right now. We are all ready to go for the whole season already. I think we are all excited about it.”

The team will return seven athletes from last season, but added no new runners to the roster.

However, Kindler said the team’s bond will help it reach the level of success it is hoping to achieve.

“Last year we were on top but I don’t think we had the same desire,” Kindler said. “We did get beat. We saw some success during track and now we want that to carry over. We want to be conference champions and I think that is what is going to carry us this year.”

During the Wildcats’ first week of practice, the men’s and women’s teams competed in a 3,000-meter time trial. The Baker men’s and women’s time trial records were broken during the race and the athletes saw a number of improvements from last season.

Freshman Jeremy Bryan broke the record for the men and junior Megan Rosa now leads the women.

“We return a team that’s probably stronger than we have been ever before,” Kindler said. “As long as we go out and do what we are capable of doing, then we’re going to be in a great position to win a conference title at the end of the season.”

Runners to start season with home meet

The Baker University volleyball team may have lost several key players from last year’s Heart of America Athletic Conference championship squad, but the Wildcats show no intentions of slowing down.

The team graduated eight seniors, including two first team all-conference players, one second team player and one honorable mention. However, the Wildcats are already in national spotlight after receiving votes in the Tachikara-NAIA Volleyball Coaches’ Preseason Top 25 poll.

The ‘Cats are ranked No. 30 nationally, which will serve as a test for the teams 10 newcomers.

Senior Savannah Smith said the new players will play an immediate part in the team’s success this season.

“We had a bunch of high-caliber athletes leave our team,” Smith said. “So they are going to have to fill those shoes, and they have big shoes to fill. As freshmen, they are going to feel the heat sometimes, but I think they can do it.”

Five freshmen joined the team, including Danielle French and Shannon Bond, who will take over as middle hitters for departing seniors Christina Delladio and Sydney Pemberton. Sam Landgrebe will also hold down the back row in place of graduating libero Brooke Allen.

Head coach Kathy Allen said she is already “pleasantly surprised” at how the team is practicing, but the ‘Cats still have areas that need improvement.

“We are still going to struggle in some areas that maybe we had down pat last year, particularly serve receive,” Allen said. “We are also a

little bit smaller, we are not as tall at the net, but defense has always been our strongest point, so I think we are going to be pretty strong defensively.”

Smith and Jana Boss, two-time HAAC setter of the year, are the lone seniors returning to the team, but Allen hopes the pair will lead the team to another conference championship.

“Jana and Savannah are both very good defensive players,” Allen said. “They are both very confident and I think that they will be excellent leaders.”

Junior Jasmyn Turner and sophomore Taryn Brees will also return to the front row after helping lead the team to a perfect 9-0 conference record in 2011.

Boss said the season will serve as “a building year” for the team, but it has already seen improvements in the opening weeks of practice.

“I think we have actually been bonding really well,” Boss said. “We just have some communication stuff to work on, timing and just getting to know everyone’s different styles of play.”

The ‘Cats will be tested throughout their schedule as they open with tournaments in Sioux City, Iowa, and Bellevue, Neb., against nationally-ranked competition.

The team will need to break into the top 25 to help make its goal of competing in the national tournament come alive.

“It always seems like we come so close every year,” Smith said. “This year we’re really working hard, really taking every practice to learn more and more and finally achieve that last step.”

The opening match starts at 2:30 p.m. today in Sioux City, Iowa against Grace College, with a nightcap against Morningside College at 8:30 p.m.

The fall semester isn’t just the start of the fall sports season, but the preseason for winter and spring athletes, too. The Shore Weight Room is often filled with athletes from basketball players to volleyball players and even some students who do not play sports.

Although the weight room is often utilized by students who are experienced in lifting weights or supervised by coaches, weight-lifting can still be dangerous when correct technique is not followed.

“If you’re new to the weight room, I think it is a great idea to take a class,” Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Miguel Regalado said. “I would recommend that, and I would definitely recommend to start at a low weight, and if possible, lift with someone who is experienced.”

Regalado stressed that it is important to follow the safety guidelines and rules posted in the Shore Weight Room and to concentrate on knowing how to properly execute a lift.

Senior Dylan Berg is a wrestler and began lifting weights during high school when he began playing organized sports. He learned to lift from his coaches and experienced athletes who “know what they’re doing.”

Because of his safe practices in the weight room, the only injuries Berg has sustained from lifting is accidentally dropping weights on his toes or smashing a finger.

“I’ve had lifts where I’m not sure what to do and I’ll ask around the room to learn,” Berg said.

In an effort to use the proper technique, Berg also utilizes technology and the Internet. He will search YouTube for lifts he isn’t as familiar with and will then use the instructional videos to help fix his form.

He also always tries to lift with a partner or spotter. If Berg goes to the weight room by himself, he makes sure he uses a weight he can control as a precaution to injury. He never makes his repetitions or weight so high that the lift is forced without a spotter.

“Every now and then, I’ll use lighter weight and try to do lifts I’m not as familiar with,” Berg said. “I don’t start using heavy weight until I know what I’m doing.”

Regalado says a mistake he often sees students make is trying to lift more weight than they can handle and that’s an easy way to get injured.

For the Baker University football team, Regalado and the other coaches start the players off with a lower weight and work to build their technique. As their technique gets better the football players add more weight.

“We say 5 pounds (a week) is a great increase as long as you’re doing it correctly,” Regalado said. “If you can continue to add weight

and lift correctly (then add weight) and if not, back it down and get your technique back right.”

Adding more weight to a workout can result in soreness and it is important to be sure that discomfort isn’t some form of injury.

“There’s a difference between being sore and injured,” Regalado said. “I would definitely recommend seeing someone immediately, but if you’re out of shape, you’re not going to feel very good after a lift.”

If a student is injured while lifting weights, he or she should see the athletic trainers for treatment and to prevent further damage.

Although when using correct technique and low weight, as well as safety precautions like using a spot and weight clamps, injuries can be avoided, assistant athletic trainer Dan O’Connell said it is better to be safe than sorry.

“If you aren’t sure what’s wrong with you, I would always err on the side of caution,” O’Connell said.

Jarnot excited for solo exhibition in Kansas City-based art center

While Art Faculty Member Jennifer Jarnot helps students paint a bigger picture for their future, she is often working on her own creations behind the scenes.

Jarnot’s artwork will be featured in an upcoming solo art exhibition at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, Kan. The exhibition will begin Sept. 7 and continue until Oct. 27.

“The show consists of 30 paintings, 20 of which are from 2012,” Jarnot said. “So the majority of the work is all brand new from this year. They’re all paintings, oil on canvas.”

The 30 pieces of artwork are a combination of paintings based on collections and paint-by-numbers. Jarnot draws her inspiration from collections from the 1950s and antique stores. She photographs the collections and places between 40 and 50 photographs into Photoshop. From there, she combines the photos into layers and creates a design from which she creates a painting. The paint-by-numbers theme features landscapes, cats, dogs, fl ower vases and “all those classic, traditional mass-produced scenes that you would normally see in those painting kits.”

Jarnot found out about the exhibition at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center last October after sending her artwork to the gallery two years ago.

“That’s usually the time period it takes for a gallery to contact an artist after you send your work in,” Jarnot said. “So the owner came along, the curator, to my studio and had an interview with me and looked at my work.”

Jarnot’s work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions nationally and internationally. According to her site, www.jenniferjarnot.com, she has been to exhibitions as far away as Los Angeles and New York City, and as close as Lawrence and in Baldwin City.

“I’ve had a few solo shows. I had a solo show in Lawrence two years ago and one in Wichita last year,” Jarnot said. “But this is a really big deal because it is a solo exhibition in Kansas City in one of the top three galleries in Kansas City. So that’s a big accomplishment.”

Jarnot’s 30 years of art experience is benefi cial to her students, as she passes on advice along the way.

“For people that are art majors, it really helps because she knows how the studios work and the owners and managers of those studios work,” senior Milan Piva said. “She just gives students connections to also get their artwork into those same studios.”

Although many students are enrolled in art classes for a just semester at a time, Jarnot helps them see past just the picture in front of them.

“Everything that I learn as an artist, I pass along to my students,” Jarnot said. “And that includes things such as how to get shows in galleries; things that come after their time as an undergraduate student.”

Beats, guitar, vocals and audience interaction. One wouldn’t think all of that could be accomplished by one guy on a stage by himself, but looping specialist Preston Pugmire proves that wrong.

Truly a one-man band, Pugmire performed Monday in Rice Auditorium as Baker University’s Student Activities Council kicked off its fall programming.

Electronic floor pedals allow Pugmire to record any sound on stage and then play it over while layering on other recordings to create an entire song from scratch; a technique known as looping.

“Every time I record the song, it’s different because it’s made from scratch that night,” Pugmire said. “That’s what creates the organic feel of a live show.”

Pugmire uses finger snapping, bells, beat boxing and much more to create both original songs and easily recognizable cover songs.

Assistant Student Life Coordinator Randy Flowers said attendance at previous music performances at Baker has been low, but he thought Pugmire would be a hit.

“I had seen Preston previously at a conference and it was an amazing show,” Flowers said. “I immediately knew I wanted to bring him to Baker.”

Flowers said Preston booked 126

shows during the conference, making him the most popular university performer in the nation.

Pugmire said he grew up playing music, but became interested in looping when he saw a looping performance by Howie Day.

“I saw Howie Day perform and thought it was incredible,” Pugmire said. “So I went out and got the equipment and tried to copy him and then started going in my own direction.”

While Pugmire said he personally created the looping equipment he now uses, his goal is to use the equipment as a tool, not as the focus of his performances.

“I am the show. The melody is the show,” Pugmire said.

Pugmire’s audience interaction and high energy received a favorable response from the crowd.

“I thought he was really cool,” freshman Ashley Riniker said. “I would definitely tell my friends to check him out. He did a really good job.”

Pugmire’s performance Monday was the first of a four-month tour around the country, but he said he also reaches many of his fans through his Facebook and Twitter pages.

When students return to campus for the first time since May, sports teams, greek organizations and student clubs and organizations reunite to begin the school year’s events.

Although the beginning of the school year is a time of celebration, there can be consequences and health concerns when involving the use of alcohol.

“At the beginning of the year, we definitely have more (alcohol policy) violations. People are very excited to see each other. Sometimes our new freshmen are trying to decide what the rules are and how far we’ll be willing to go with the rules,” Dean of Students Cassy Bailey said. “Sometimes that has to do with joining new clubs or organizations and feeling a pressure to maybe drink.”

Campus policies involving the use of alcohol are written out in the student handbook. The use of alcohol on campus is prohibited except in the Horn and Markham apartments and only within the state laws of Kansas. Violation sanctions are categorized between minor and major offenses.

“The great thing is that it’s really clearly stated in our student handbook,” Bailey said. “In other words, it says, ‘here are what minor offenses are, here are what major offenses are by the university and here’s what happens on your first offense minor or first offense major.’ So it’s really clearly spelled out what we’re going to do.”

Although Baker University’s policies dealing with alcohol do not impact the greek community, there is coordination among the greek, Baker and Baldwin City communities.

“I notify the dean of students if there’s an event. I notify public safety and I notify the residence hall workers,” Jennifer Letner, fraternity and sorority life coordinator, said. “The dean of students then passes that information on to the local police, the Baldwin City police department. They just think it’s a good idea to be aware of where the events are going to be and when.”

According to the College Parents of America website, schools where greek organizations are dominant are more likely to encounter students with excessive alcohol use.

“There really aren’t a lot of other options on this campus; that is mostly the social setting,” Letner said. “We do have a situation now with a newer

development on campus where you are allowed to have alcohol in the apartments. They’re allowed to register parties as well. That is less likely because there are fewer people living in the apartments than there are living in the fraternity houses.”

Celebrating the beginning of the school year with excessive alcohol use can have serious health effects and can lead to alcohol poisoning or eventually alcohol abuse.

Last fall, new greek members attended a mandatory program about the SAM Spady Foundation. The program encouraged personal responsibility in social situations where alcohol is present and taught students to recognize the symptoms of alcohol poisoning and call for help.

According to the SAM Spady Foundation, symptoms of alcohol poisoning can include unconsciousness or semi-consciousness, breathing less than 10-times per minute or irregular breathing, cold, clammy, pale of bluish skin, unable to be awakened by pinching, prodding or shouting and vomiting without waking up.

If a student does violate Baker University’s alcohol policy, punishment is part of the process, but the main concern is the safety of the students.

“Our first concern is for their safety and very, very secondary is about these violations,” Bailey said. “It’s more important that we keep each other safe.”

“It takes about one hour for your liver to pro-cess (metabolize) the alcohol in 12 ounces (355 milliliters) of beer, 5 ounces (148 mil-liliters) of wine or 1.5 ounce (44 milliliters) of 80-proof distilled spirits.”

BU Profile Melinda Hipple Zeta Chi house director/Baker student

When new Baker University student Melinda Hipple entered Collins Center with the freshmen class during Traditions Night Sunday, she was greeted with a unique welcome by the BU student body. The bleachers were filled with upperclassmen chanting “Melinda, Melinda, Melinda,” as she and the other new students stood on the basketball court during the first night of their college experience. Classes hadn’t started yet, and Hipple was already the most popular student at Baker.

Who is Melinda?

For the past four years, the 58-year-old has spent four nights of the week working the graveyard shift as a clerk at the Kwik Shop in Baldwin City. Working from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, Hipple has seen and experienced a lot as a clerk, especially from the late-night customers.

Like any convenience store, the Kwik has its regular customers; others who work night shifts or the bar crowd may stop by after last call, but during the school year those regular customers are mainly Baker students.

Because it is the only place open 24 hours in Baldwin City, the Kwik Shop

has become a place where students gather during the late hours on weekends. They stop by before going out, before going home after going out and even to find out what the social scene is for the night. Hipple has become the students’ source for where the best parties are. She’ll sometimes ask students what their plans are or how their night is going, but normally, she figures out what’s happening around town by them informing her. She even tells new students,“if they want to know where the best parties are, ask by 11 p.m.”

“If I’m going to work nights, I’m going to make it fun,” Hipple said.

Many times, it has been a good time for her. She has enjoyed getting to know the Baker students whether they’re getting coffee to pull an all-nighter or getting snacks after partying early into the morning. Her knowledge of Baldwin City nightlife and happenings has somewhat turned her into a celebrity among Baker University students, and most greet and call her by name when they stop by the store.

Hipple doesn’t just know students because of her job at the Kwik shop; she is also the house director at Zeta Chi fraternity. She started the job last fall and it is part of what inspired her to apply to Baker as a nontraditional student.

“A lot of it has been exposure to the kids and living in the (fraternity) house,” Hipple said. “I just thought, ‘I’m just spinning my wheels and

staying here, it’s time to move myself forward.’”

Back to school

Wednesday was the first day of classes on Baker’s Baldwin City campus, but it wasn’t Hipple’s first day of college. Forty years ago, she began school at Missouri State University. However, after three semesters of school, she married and quit.

“At that point in time, most women went to college to find a husband,” Hipple said. “It was called getting your M-R-S degree.”

Now, Hipple is determined to finish school and receive her undergraduate degree.

Zeta Chi fraternity member Mike Wilson has faith in Hipple and thinks as Zeta Chi house director she will have an advantage as a new student.

“She’s in the perfect place because the guys can help her out just like we would any other brothers,” Wilson said.

Melinda’s main interest is writing. She contributes and edits poems and short stories online and has written two sci-fi books and more than 400 poems.

She even plans to write a book on some of her strange experiences as a clerk titled “A Matter of Convenience: Tales of the Night Shift.”

“It goes back to being that storyteller, it’s what I do,” Hipple said. “That’s why I’m going back to

school. I want to be a writer.”

A Wildcat welcome

Although Hipple’s main purpose in attending Baker is to receive her bachelor’s degree, she plans on embracing all parts of student life, including the social scene.

“I think with nontraditional students, it is slightly more difficult because you don’t have that real social aspect,” Wilson said.

In Melinda’s case, though, she’s already making an effort to not miss out on what many nontraditional students don’t partake in. On Sunday, she stood with freshmen clapping at a pep rally outside of Harter Union, walked with them through campus during Traditions Night, played icebreaker games at Playfair and even danced with students on Hartley Plaza.

Junior Cody Bonebrake knows Hipple from his frequent trips to the Kwik Shop and was one of the students cheering for her and even dancing with her Sunday night.

“(Students) love her; her personality is awesome and she’s just a total character,” Bonebrake said.

Students do see one downside to Hipple’s becoming a Wildcat - she no longer works at the Kwik Shop. But most are excited to see her on campus and are proud of her for pursuing what she wants most in life.

“We have all the faith in the world in her,” Wilson said.
