Teams consisted of three chefs and helpers who served up their best chili recipe. With so many teams competing, there was a wide array of chili dishes to choose from. Competitors used many different tech- niques in hopes of winning the vote for best chili. One group, who served a no bean chili, dressed up as “Pirates of the Carri-no- bean.” Many top secret ingredients were used, but some teams had no fear in revealing what exactly was in their chili dish. Toolen and Walsh Halls will undergo minor renovations beginning in the summer, according to Dean Joseph Deighton, Vice President for Student Affairs. Nothing is concrete yet, according to Deigh- ton, but the halls will both be receiving touch-ups. “We are definitely going to return Walsh Hall to full occupancy for the fall of 2010. The offices on the first floor will be relocated to either the new Student Center or to various other locations on campus.” Residence furniture will be returned to the first- floor rooms or purchased new as needed to return Walsh to full occupancy. According to Deigh- ton, the school will con- tinue with its tradition of buying new furniture each summer to replace worn out pieces in the resi- dence halls. “We also try to buy a few replacement pieces for things that may get damaged or broken throughout the year.” Walsh and Toolen Halls will undergo minor renovations The Mobile Experience: Aaron Stadium Mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 14 if you want to see an onslaught of baseball’s most loved, living Hall of Famers in- cluding Ozzie Smith, Hank Aaron and Ricky Henderson. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, a military flyover, and fireworks will also be a part of the special show begin- ning at 5 p.m. The Mobile BayBears’ home opener is April 14, but something that may be a little more impor- tant is scheduled for the same night. Hall of Famer – and some would argue “base- ball’s home-run king” – Hank Aaron is opening his childhood home to the pub- lic as part of a Hank Aaron Stadium museum benefiting a scholarship provided by Aaron. Aaron’s father, Herbert Aaron, built a 25-by-25 foot home for eight-year-old Hank and his seven brothers and sisters. The home did not have a kitchen or bath- room until renovations were Spring Hill College students will see an increase in tuition, room, and board this fall, according to the Press-Register. The cost of tuition for full-time undergraduate students will increase by 5 percent, from $26,730 to $37,000. The Board of Trustees has already ap- proved this increase and students should be expect- ing financial aid packages with the updated informa- tion. According to Steve Po- chard, Spring Hill College’s Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, this increase is not out of the ordinary. Pochard states, “Spring Hill has increased its cost each of the fifteen years I have served here with the nor- mal rate of increase being 5 percent, exactly what we are doing for the 2010-11 aca- demic year. These increases are used to offset the college’s annual increases in such things like insurance, utilities, food, ect.” Most colleges increase tuition annually by about 4 percent and with the econo- my still in a recession, most private colleges are strug- gling financially, including Spring Hill. The decrease in the charitable donations during the 2009 fiscal year is also a factor in the tuition increase. With the colleges struggling financially to obtain funding, students are suffering as well. Junior Fanese Coleman has been affected by the tuition in- crease and her scholarships and grants are no longer enough to cover the costs. “Because of the tuition increase,” Coleman states, “I’ve started taking out per- See CHILI page 13 See STUDENT page 4 See HANK page 3 See RESIDENCE page 5 Photo by Doug Bruce Photo by Doug Bruce Sophomores Anthony Harris and James Burke volunteered at the 21st Annual American Cancer Society Chili Cook-Off.
