Don't ask ONU Engineering Dean Baumgartner if he likes pies.
He probably did at one time, but after March 19 his tastes changed. Here's a report from the ONU Engineering Facebook page:
"Last night (March 19) I participated in ONU Relay for Life participated in "Pie a Professor" at ONU's Relay for Life event. After 30 minutes of nearly constant pies, I tried to buy my way out of another pie. I was only partially successful. At least it was for a good cause!" - Dean Baumgartner
