As a bisexual transgender man, Ferris social work senior Connor McGahan has struggled in his time as a Bulldog. “I’ve been hurt by the university because I’ve been hav- ing to advocate for myself and others in the community since I have been here. It’s exhausting constantly having to educate others because Ferris doesn’t value the com- munity,” McGahan said. “I have no problem educating stu- dents, however, I don’t think that the university should be relying on me to be the one to educate their faculty and staff.” While McGahan did acknowledge the significance of the new LGBTQ+ Resource Center, he added that the center came too late for many of the students that needed it. “I hope that Ferris State University understands how im- portant the LGBTQ+ Resource Center and the Coordinator is to the university.

    Chicago Open Trash 2018: Look at All Those Chickens by Rob Carson, Carsten Gehring, and Andrew Hart Round 3: Tossups 1. A lyric about this group was parodied in a poem that contains the couplet “stripped of the guerdons and glory untold, kicked in the stomach and cut from the fold,” which described how John K. Tener and Charles P. Taft conspired against Charles Webb Murphy after Murphy had fired a member of this group. A ditty once printed as “Gotham’s Woe” described how this group collectively pricked New York’s “gonfalon bubble.” A phrase containing the names of this group’s members was said to be “the saddest of possible words” in a lyric by (*) Franklin Pierce Adams calling them a “trio of bear cubs” who were “fleeter than birds” in their relentless pursuit of double plays against the New York Giants. For 10 points, what trio of infielders on the successful nineteen-aughts Chicago Cubs teams was immortalized in the poem “Baseball’s Sad Lexicon,” which is sometimes known as “[blank] to [blank] to [blank]” after their three names? ANSWER: Tinker, Evers, and Chance [accept “Tinker to Evers to Chance” or Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance (in any order) or Joseph Bert Tinker, Johnny Joseph Evers, and Frank Leroy Chance (in any order); prompt on “Chicago Cubs” or “Cubs infield” or similar answers] <Hart> 2.
