he final two pieces of the Cardinal Commitment: Developing Champions campaign, which was originally announced in April 2013, are set to be completed within the next year and a half. Designs for both the Earl Yestingsmeier Golf Center and the Dr. Don Shondell Practice Center were presented and approved at the Board of Trustees meeting Friday and each project will begin with construction in the next couple of months. The Earl Yestingsmeier Golf Center, set to be completed in late 2017, and the Dr. Don Shondell Practice Center, with a completion date for late summer 2018, are the final two pieces of the $20.6 million fundraising campaign that was first announced approximately four years ago.

The David Owsley Museum of Art has added a new exhibit entitled SHIFT created by three artists — Corban Walker, Jongil Ma and Christopher Smith. SHIFT shares an understanding of sculpture in an architectural sense and explores how people experience time in their own unique ways.

DOMA displays new exhibit, visitors' creations Justice Amick Daily News Reporter Filled with a variety of exhibits, including art from China, Japan and Africa, the David Owsley Museum of Art has hours’ worth of art to explore. Newly added to the assortment of art is a new exhibit entitled “SHIFT.” Created by three artists — Corban Walker, Jongil Ma and Christopher Smith — this exhibit takes on a whole new meaning to creativity, said Lisa Banner, the exhibit’s coordinator. “These insightful artists, each with their own viewpoint, share an inherent understanding of sculpture in an architectural sense, inviting us to reconsider the use of line, proportion, and space,” Banner said.

UPD GETS NEW K9 OFFICER

10-year-old Fritz lives with officer, trained to find 4 different drugs Michelle Kaufman Greek Life Reporter One of the University Police Department’s newest recertified officers is only 10 years old and will almost always be seen with a tennis ball, and is covered in fur. K9 Fritz, a Belgian malinois, came to UPD with Patrolman Rick Howell in October 2016 from the Muncie Police Department. Howell and Fritz have worked together for three years, and Fritz is Howell’s third K9 that he has handled. Fritz is “captain social” and originally came from Holland, so all of his commands are given in Dutch. Fritz is cross-trained, meaning he can do tracking, building and area searches, handler protection and narcotic detection. “You’ll never find a dog that’s trained in both drugs and bombs, because [if] I go sweep a car and we get an indication, you tell me if it’s a drug or bomb,” Howell said. “He can find four odors — marijuana, heroin, methamphetamines, cocaine and any derivatives of those.”
