14th annual
comes with a twist

Sigma Phi Epsilon will be hosting
its 14th annual Spiking Out sand
volleyball tournament on April 25 to
raise money for the Big Brothers and
Big Sisters of Douglas County. Games
will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until
7 p.m.
The fraternity has added a twist
to the event for this year: there will
be a professional barber shaving
heads following the tournament to
benefit the St. Baldricks Foundation, a
charity committed to finding cures for
childhood cancer.
Each member of the house
agreed to either raise money or be a
member who gets their head shaved,

Complaints about Sodexo's food choices at
the Long Student Center are common across
campus, but there are some students who have a
particularly hard time finding something they can
enjoy. Vegetarians who eat in the cafeteria face
the struggle of having limited options for daily
nutrition, and those with meal plans are left with
limited options.
Now in her seventh year as a vegetarian,
junior Isabelle Huyett has had her own personal
difficulties with cafeteria food. Huyett decided to
become a vegetarian when she was 15 because she
never was a big fan of meat while growing up.
Huyett said being a vegetarian has worked out
well for her. That is until she arrived at Baker,
where she learned that eating a vegetarian diet can
have its challenges.
Huyett's first few semesters in college were
rough. Though campus food, which is offered by
the Sodexo company, had better options on the
weekdays, Huyett struggled finding meals that
worked for her on weekends. The lack of options
forced her to seek out food elsewhere.
It just felt like a waste of money, Huyett said.
On occasion, Huyett would talk to Dean of
Students Cassy Bailey about her problems with

symptoms of CTE, it will already be
too late. We are told by our doctors
to be proactive in all other areas
of our health, so why would this
situation be any different?
Other professional players have
spoken out since Borland announced
his retirement. Seattle Seahawks
quarterback Russell Wilson, a
former Wisconsin teammate of
Borlands, tweeted out his support of
the decision.
I also fully support his decision
for many reasons. Borland said that
he waited until now to make the
announcement because he wanted to
make sure he consulted with experts
on CTE to answer all of his questions

I went on a mission trip to Pensacola, Florida with (CTG) Called To Greatness which is an on-campus ministry at Baker, KU,
and K-State. We teamed up with an on campus ministry at The University of West Florida to spread Gods love and trying to get
people to join.

THINGS TO
KNOW ABOUT
BAKER ATHLETICS
The Baker baseball teams last conference matchup brought two thrilling wins. After
junior Seth Jones threw a no-hit shutout during game one, the Cats won game two in extra
innings. Junior Travis Johnson hit a walk-off single to score sophomore teammate Trevor
Lininger and win the game, 3-2. BU is 15-21 overall and 4-10 in conference action. The
team is facing MidAmerica Nazarene this weekend for a four-game series in Olathe.

womens team.
Our season is going really well. Our team has a lot
of fun together while we're working hard to get better,
Myers said. Our coach is very proud of us because
we've been getting wins this year that his teams in the
past have never achieved, and that's really exciting to
me.
This newly found success can be attributed largely
to the freshman class. Eight out of 11 players on the
squad this year are freshmen.
I think the freshman group as a whole has affected
our team in the most positive ways possible, Myers
said. They bring so much excitement and positivity to
our team. They've changed the entire atmosphere and
our team is so much closer because of them. Not only
Next week will be Bakers first 54-hole tournament for both the men and the women, at the
Wildcats home course at Alvamar Country Club in
Lawrence.
This next tournament will tell us a lot more
about what kind of shape were in, Exon said. At
the end of the first 36 holes, they will have walked
about 12 miles with 25-30 pounds on their backs,
so it will definitely be grueling.
Exon believes that regularly practicing at a
course that is one the toughest in the state is a great
advantage not just at that specific course, but everywhere they play.
I think that when we step on any other course,
were not intimidated by what we see, because we
see the toughest last six holes in the HAAC all the
time, she said.
The main point of advice she gives to her players
is to stay sharp mentally.
We talk about course management every day,
she said. And it starts with the six inches between
your ears.

Parting Shot
Freshmen Keith Loneker and Logan Schenck haul junior Shane Hunt down the court in the Chariot Race, the first event in the Greek Games. The Greek Games were
held on Wednesday in Collins Center as a part of Greek Week. Other games included tug-of-war, Blow Me Away, in which participants had to blow up a balloon and
use it to knock cups off a table, and Separation Anxiety, in which competitors were asked to separate a bag of Skittles by its colors and empty an entire box of tissues.
Winners for each event received points that would add to their chapters final tally to find out the Greek Week champions. Greek Week will conclude with Greek Awards
on Sunday in Collins Center. Photo by Chad Phillips
