At 3:14 p.m. on March 14, the dreams of a certain economics teacher came true.

On this day, Social Science Instructor Todd Shepherd had a video camera ready and was eager to get on with the events of the day. The reason? His colleague, Social Science Instructor Cathy Hendricks, was about to get a face full of pie.

Hendricks and Admissions Coordinator Ben Schears were pied in recognition of national Pi Day. Mu Alpha Sigma Chi, Cowley’s Math and Science Club, sponsored the event as a fund-raiser. Coins were placed in jars for each contestant. Coins counted as positive votes, pennies being worth one vote, nickels as five, dimes as 10 and quarters as 25 votes. Any paper money was worth face value in negative points.

Hendricks placed first with a whopping 16, 563 votes and Schears came in second with 275. Other contestants who avoided being pied were Frank Arnold (49 votes), Lois Sampson (26 votes), Scott Layton (negative 244 votes) and Math and Science Club Sponsor Greg Nichols (negative 490 votes).
Mu Alpha Sigma Chi raised $276.69 from the competition.
