The First Annual CAAS
Devin Baker

On the evening of May 9, 2016, Centre College held the first annual Centre Athletics Award Show (CAAS). The award show was likened to ESPN's the ESPYS.

All of Centre's athletic teams traded their jerseys in for formal attire and convened upon the gold carpet. The Norton Center for the Arts was the venue and teams arrived during staggered times for their time in the spotlight and to get their photo taken.

The show began at 7:30 and was MC-ed by assistant women's soccer coach, Jessica Chisley, who brought the fun from the beginning as she introduced the show in song with her guitar to a KISS tune. Soon thereafter, the awards began. Awards were given in the area of breakthrough athlete, athlete of the year, student-athlete of the year, team of the year, play of the year, and game of the year among others. In addition, 'Flame' Awards were given to a student-athlete on each team who embodies what each team's coach believes to be a Centre Athlete.

The Centre Women's Soccer team was the big winner of the night a tribute to their incredible season as they made it to the NCAA Final Four. Senior Women's Soccer player, Alex Combs, was awarded Female Student- Athlete of the Year and the team won Team of the Year, among a plethora of other awards.

Among the other award winners was Ceci Vollbrecht who won the Centre Athletics Character Award, as she was deemed to exemplify the highest degree of character in all of her endeavors. Matt Hughes, a senior member of the Men's Lacrosse Team, won the award for Male Student-Athlete of the Year. The Centre Women's Lacrosse team tied with the Centre Men's Tennis Team for the Team Academic Achievement Award, given to the team, or in this case teams, who have the highest average GPA.

Athletes enjoyed the awards celebration and were excited to honor the achievements of their fellow athletes. Congratulations to all of the night's winners and we look forward to next year's CAAS.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
