This spring, 11 faculty members competed in a dodgeball tournament against a team of Whitworth seniors in Graves Gym. The students emerged victorious with five wins and two losses. Down but not out, the faculty challenged the seniors to one final championship game.
"We banded together and did a little strategizing," says Assistant Professor of Communication Studies Alan Mikkelson, '00. "We collected all the balls, then unleashed them on the students at the same time. The onslaught knocked out three of their best players, giving the faculty the advantage they needed to bring home the championship. It just goes to show that age and wisdom can overcome youth and skill."
Several of the faculty turned in award-worthy performances: Head Shot Award (for shots received, not inflicted), Ron Pyle (Communication Studies); Master-Strategizer- Guy Award, Jack Burns (SGCM); Dodge, Duck, Dip and Dive Award, Toby Schwarz (Kinesiology & Athletics); and the Rocket Arm Award, Scott McQuilkin, '84 (Athletics). The entire faculty team merited the Cannon Fodder Award.
