How we met

They met last fall when Kye Barker was a freshman and Clint Shriner was a sophomore as they were moving into Pearson Scholarship Hall, but they “really” met some time later. Last spring they were both looking for a roommate for this year. Will Frager, a student who lived in the hall with them, introduced Shriner, Wichita junior, to Barker, Topeka sophomore. Barker got up to shake his hand and said, “Nice to meet you.” Shriner licked Barker’s hand and then promptly left. They are roommates now.
