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 Tera Lyons/The Baker Orange Senior Katerra Shackelford, front, and senior Bailey Buchman, back, enter the Ivan L.

  • The History of Baker University Men's Track and Field Andrew Mcgregor HI 436 Senior Thesis Dr. Exon April 2, 2007
    The History of Baker University Men’s Track and Field Andrew McGregor HI 436 Senior Thesis Dr. Exon April 2, 2007 McGregor 2 Intercollegiate athletics came to national prominence in the late nineteenth century; football, baseball, and track and field were among the earliest organized.1 Football is often the most popular sport and has garnered more attention from universities, journalists, and historians. Success in football was important to universities as it led to enhanced name recognition, revenue, and elevated student and alumni morale. Track and field on the other hand is considered by journalists and universities to be a second tier sport; one that accrues no revenue, honors individuals over institutions, and where success is sometimes difficult to measure.2 Yet, as one of the few original Olympic sports sponsored by institutions of higher education, track and field serves as a showcase of the best athletes of the nation and the world, at least according to USA Track & Field (USATF) the National Governing Body for track and field.3 And historically, relay events or festivals were a primary means of collegiate institution promotion. Unfortunately, relay events typically occurred once annually at each college; therefore their impact was significantly less than football or baseball, which provided multiple home contests. Firmly implanted as a younger and less attractive athletics sibling to football, baseball, and later basketball; nevertheless the sport of track and field has endured and prospered according to its own measures. All-Americans and national place finishers indicate the level of programmatic success. Championship track teams are rare because of complex scoring as well as the individualized and broad scope of the sport.
