Danko aims to grow resources The university is working on a plan to increase endowment and stress its importance. RYAN LOVELACE RLOVELACE@BUTLER.EDU ASST. NEWS EDITOR Butler University’s endowment totaled $150 million as of August 2012, but President Jim Danko’s strategic vision wants to increase it to $750 million by 2025. In order to achieve this goal, Butler’s endowment would need to grow by more than $4 million per month, on average, from September 2012 to 2025. During Butler’s last fiscal year— Danko’s first year in office—the endowment lost $15 million. Danko did not respond to The Collegian’s request for comment. Ben Hunter, chief of staff, said Butler is in the process of developing a plan and assessing how the endowment will grow more than $600 million in 12 years. “We’re holding forums,” Hunter said. “It’s one of those stretch goals, as the president has said before, but it’s one that is something that we have to have out there for people to understand—that the endowment is important for the health of this institution.” Growing Butler’s endowment will be critical to achieving Danko’s goals, Michele Miller, executive director of constituent services, said in an email. Hunter said educating people about Butler’s endowment will be essential to growing it. “It’s educating folks (about) what the endowment does for the institution and how folks can participate, contribute and be life-long givers to the university,” Hunter said. The endowment grew $5 million from May 31, 2012, to Aug. 31, 2012, the last period surveyed. Bruce Arick, vice president of finance and administration, said the endowment will continue to grow mostly from new gifts but also from having a net gain in the return on Butler’s invested endowment. “The economy impacts the general condition of the endowment,” Arick said. “We’re trying to balance risk with trying to optimize return.” Arick said Butler’s endowment is invested in a diversified portfolio with more than half of Butler’s investment in domestic and international equities or stocks. Every Dec. 31, administrators survey the last 12 quarters and determine what can be spent during Butler’s next fiscal year, Arick said. In order to keep from losing money on investments or cutting into the endowments, Arick said Butler can spend 5.4 percent of its endowment this fiscal year. “Anything that we’re spending now is benefiting the students in some way,” Arick said. “Aid is probably the most direct way in which students are benefiting.” $2.4 million of the $51.8 million financial aid budget is expected to come from the endowment this year. Hunter said one thing administrators are evaluating is how a growing endowment could change or lessen the cost of tuition. Aside from financial aid, the endowment is also spent on see endowment page 4

The Butler men’s basketball team looks to build off last year’s experiences as it heads into its first season in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The Bulldogs enter the A-10 after going 22-15, including 11-7 in the Horizon League, last season. The season ended with a loss to Pittsburgh in the College Basketball Invitational semifinals. The team lost only two seniors, Ronald Nored and Garrett Butcher, to graduation. The team also will be without Chrishawn Hopkins after he was dismissed by the team for violating team rules in September. Coach Brad Stevens said the player that will fill Hopkins’ role in the backcourt has not yet been decided. “It’ll be determined largely on who’s the most productive but also who compliments our best players the best,” Stevens said. One thing is known: senior guard Rotnei Clarke will join the starting lineup after sitting out last season following his transfer from Arkansas. Clarke adds outside shooting to a team that was lacking in that department last season. “The guy is, by far, one of the best three-point shooters in the country,” junior forward Khyle Marshall said. “I’ve never seen a guy shoot like him.” Clarke shot 43.8 percent from three-point range and averaged 15.2 points per game during the 2010-11 season for the Razorbacks. Meanwhile, the team’s six sophomores now have a season of experience to help them as they begin to take bigger roles with the team. “I know when I got here last year along with the other freshmen, the game just seemed pretty fast Collegian File Photo

Trustees watch over university COLIN LIKAS CLIKAS@BUTLER.EDU MANAGING EDITOR
It consists of 28 individuals from all walks of life. Many of them graduated from Butler University, although some received an education elsewhere. Some of its members graduated in the 1950s, some in the 1990s. It includes men and women who majored in everything from accounting to zoology. This is the Butler Board of Trustees. The board is entrusted with planning the future of Butler, making financial and leadership decisions along the way.
“In sweeping terms, we promote the university and make sure it does well,” said Craig Fenneman, board chair and 1971 Butler graduate. “The number one definition is hiring, supporting and evaluating the president. “That’s our primary function— to make sure the president is successful.” Fenneman is in his first full year as chair of the board. He follows John Hargrove, a 1969 Butler graduate and current board member who is a lawyer in Florida. “These are turbulent times, and many boards have forsaken their responsibility,” said Hargrove, who is in his last year on the board.
“At Butler, we have an effective board that is very committed. (Members) are focused on what is best for the university, and (the board is) not merely a group that fraternizes.” The trustees meet four times each year. This year, the board is focusing on updating Butler’s strategic plan while also looking at the campus plan, said Jamie Phillippe, a board member, 1973 Butler graduate and The Chicago Community Trust vice president. Phillippe said academic programs, facilities, finances and student enrollment are taken into account when looking at the strategic plan. The campus plan deals strictly with facilities.

Alcohol policy changes considered by task force MARAIS JACON-DUFFY MJACONDU@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER
The alcohol task force is discussing possible changes to Butler University’s current alcohol policy. The current alcohol policy was created in 2002. Irene Stevens, dean of student life, said, since then, the number of hospitalizations due to alcohol, arrests, sexual assaults and summons tickets have increased dramatically. This school year, seven student arrests have been made. This time last year, only five arrests were made. Summons tickets are new to Butler, and 34 tickets have been given out this school year between excise police and Butler University Police Department. “Student affairs and the alcohol task force are concerned with the increases in these areas,” Stevens said. “That’s what has prompted us to change the policy.” Stevens said the task force’s job is to analyze the culture of campus and decide if the current policy is effective or needs revision. “The whole purpose of the task force is to look at how we can best encourage students how to be responsible and make good decisions,” Stevens said. The alcohol task force is comprised of faculty and students, both Greek and independent. The task force itself is divided into two different committees—policy enforcement and education. Junior Craig Fisher said his role as a Student Government Association representative on the alcohol task force helps give more student perspectives when dealing with possible policy changes. “My main goal as an SGA representative on the task force is to make sure that student interests are well-represented,” Fisher said. “That’s the goal of all of the students on the task force.” Fisher said he and the rest of the members of the task force began discussing possible changes to the current alcohol policy over the summer. “The changes are in response to an increase in statistics of high-risk drinking and alcohol-related incidents.” Fisher said. “We decided that the policy definitely needed to be explored more.”
It would be great if we students could be made more aware as to what exactly is and isn’t allowed and what will be punished. JEFF PETTY SOPHOMORE Fisher and Stevens both said clarity is a major goal for the new policy. “Right now, I think the alcohol policy on campus is unclear,” Fisher said. “A clearer message is definitely something we want to work towards.” Stevens said student affairs and the alcohol task force plan on holding many informational sessions with students after the policy is changed. “We’ll hold meetings with students, forums, and go to SGA,” Stevens said. “We’ll also promote the new policy so that students will have a very good understanding on what exactly the rules are on campus.” Sophomore Jeff Petty said he thinks increased clarity in the campus alcohol policy would be beneficial to students. “I would really like to see more consistency with punishments,” Petty said. “It would be great if we students could be made more aware as to what exactly is and isn’t allowed and what will be punished.” Junior Vinnie Taibi said the presence of excise police especially has created confusion with the drinking policy on campus. “Right now, people don’t really seem to understand what’s going on as far as excise and punishments are concerned,” Taibi said. “I wish that the school could explain completely and concisely what exactly is going on.” Stevens said student concerns will be taken into account during the discussion period of policy changes and that students will be asked to contribute their opinions in forums. The task force plans to have a proposal to the administration ready by January.

President shares vision with students at town hall JEFF STANICH JSTANICH@BUTLER.EDU ASST. NEWS EDITOR Butler University President Jim Danko hosted a dialogue with students where they discussed “A Shared Strategic Vision” for the university’s future. Danko told the gathering of faculty and students about his plan, which includes raising the endowment to $750 million by 2025 and making additions to campus as outlined in the master plan. He said there are many areas of campus that are terrific, but some classrooms and residence halls “just look pathetic.” “The problem is that we don’t have the economic resources because our endowment is so low and our revenue is just on the brink of being okay to allow us to invest back into the university,” Danko said. The hour-long presentation included a session where Danko addressed students’ questions regarding the vision. Students raised questions about the quality of campus dining, maintaining the ethics being taught and maintaining small class sizes and undergraduate focus. Danko told students the university is working with Aramark, the food service
TRUSTEES: LONG-TERM PLANNING FROM PAGE ONE
“Once a president is in place, we’re there to support him, and I think the board did a good job to support (formerPresident) Bobby (Fong) when he was here,” Fenneman said. Other important decisions made by the board surround investments made in the university, said Bryan Mills, board member and 1982 Ball State University graduate. “(We need to decide) what we need to do for student housing and the student experience, but at the same time look at really basic issues like parking,” Mills said. “(We ask) what are some of the investments that need to be made to make sure students are achieving not only their academic goals but also the campus experience they’re looking for.” Mills is one of six members of the board who never attended Butler as a student. Ben Hunter, the president’s chief of staff, said the mixing of Butler alumni with local community leaders to form the board is a model that is used for trustee boards across the nation. “You need a group of trustees that are looking out for the best long-term interests of this institution,” Hunter said. “I think we’re very lucky with the group of trustees we have.” Mills, who is in his second year on the board, said he was surprised to learn Butler’s board had a mix of Butler alumni and individuals who never attended the university. “I think it was pretty insightful from the board to construct itself that way,” Mills said. “If you only have Butler grads, you run the risk of being totally inwardly focused.” Those on this year’s board ended up in their positions in a number of different ways. Mills was told of an opening for a nonButler alumni on the board, and he said he wanted to donate his time to an organization in the Indianapolis community. Phillippe, who has been on the board for four years, was a former president of Butler’s alumni board, the head of Butler’s Louisville alumni organization and a

company, to provide higher quality and healthier options. He also said small classes will continue to be a focus because they are part of the Butler experience of having a good student-professor relationship. Student Government Association President Mike Keller said that his own vision was for students to be more involved, and Danko is doing the same thing by sharing his vision. “I really commend President Danko for doing this,” Keller said. “He is taking the time to listen to what the students have to say and respond to our feedback.” “I thought this discussion went fine,” Danko said. “I was very pleased to see the turnout. I think we had some very good questions that hopefully were answered.”
If you only have Butler grads, you run the risk of being totally inwardly focused.
BRYAN MILLS BOARD MEMBER
member of the Board of Visitors for the College of Business. Fenneman also ended up on the Board of Trustees through one of the Boards of Visitors. These boards, although not directly connected with the Board of Trustees, assist the deans of Butler’s colleges with various decisions relating to their schools. Fenneman said the Board of Trustees has attempted to become better connected with the Boards of Visitors. “(We’ve attempted) some form of connection to know what’s going on and let them know who we are,” he said. More concerning than the connection between these two parties is the link between the trustees and Butler’s campus. All of the trustees have careers that do not allow them to be at Butler every day. Some of the board’s members live outside of Indiana as well. While Fenneman said he is able to be on campus “once or twice a week,” other members are not as fortunate. “Through good communications first and then dropping by and attending functions, the board stays pretty close to what’s happening at Butler,” he said. Phillippe and Mills both credited Danko with keeping the board abreast of issues at Butler. The pair also cited The Collegian as a source for helping trustees understand the thoughts of students. No matter how far some trustees are from Butler, they said they are constantly concerned about helping the university’s students. “Being a trustee and being in any position of responsibility at a college is a very complex issue,” Hargrove said. “If you don’t understand that complexity— that diversity of cultures—you’re not going to understand contextually different problems and personality traits that make for a good institution.”

Alumni stay tied to Butler TARA MCELMURRY
TMCELMUR@BUTLER.EDU NEWS EDITOR
Butler University Homecoming is not only a big deal for current students—it’s the university’s biggest alumni-focused event. Homecoming weekend included many events geared toward specific alumni groups, said Jennie Jones, associate director of alumni and parent programs. Some of those events included five-,10-, 25- and 50-year class reunions, the tailgate in the Hinkle Fieldhouse parking lot, Bulldog Beauty Contest and family fun activities on Norris Plaza. Monique Wise, associate director of alumni and parent programs, said Homecoming is beneficial for alumni because they can come back to campus and enjoy the same activities they used to enjoy while they were here, as well as see what is new. “It gives them an opportunity to see all of the changes that are taking place at the university, the growth,” she said. “It also enables them to relive their days. They have that spirit of coming home and that spirit of reconnecting as a Butler family member.”
Wise said Homecoming is not only beneficial for the alumni but also an asset to the university. “It is a great two-way street for both the university and alumni,” Wise said. “We get to reconnect together and share ideas and provide a happy, festive environment for everyone to have a good time.” Alumni are centralized on Butler’s campus through the Alumni Office. “The purpose of the Alumni Office is to help build alumni chapters and make them strong so that they can remain a part of the Butler family,” Wise said. Wise said the Alumni Office specifically works to link alumni chapters with current students and create programs that allow members of the alumni community to come together, network, share ideas and stay abreast of the university. There are nine active alumni chapters in the United States. In order of most members, the chapters are: Central Indiana, Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington, D.C., Fort Wayne, Greater New York, Atlanta and the San Francisco Bay Area. Lauren Cialone, a member of the Washington, D.C., Alumni Chapter
steering committee, said the chapter tries to plan events several times a year. “We try to diversify events so that people of all ages can find something they like,” Cialone said. She said one way Butler’s alumni network differs from those of other schools is that its members are more close-knit. “I definitely think the network is a little more intimate with a small school like Butler,” Cialone said. “It gives people more of an opportunity to get involved.” Cialone said current and former students can utilize the network by reaching out to the chapter. She said she’s received emails from students looking for jobs or wanting to move out to D.C., and she was able to get those students in touch with other alumni who could help. “There’s a real willingness and desire to be helpful,” Cialone said. “Your relationship with Butler doesn’t end when you graduate.” She said the chapter is looking to plan an event for December and already has an event for January: getting alumni out to watch the Bulldogs take on George Washington University in D.C.

New events bring crowds ALLISON HALL AAHALL1@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER
Butler University Homecoming featured new events for alumni and current students. New to this year’s events included Behind the Scenes at Hinkle Fieldhouse, Butler Couples Commitment Blessing and Butler Homecoming Food Truck Festival. Nikki Mazelin, director of alumni and parent programs, said the Behind the Scenes at Hinkle Fieldhouse event had good turnout. Mazelin said around 15 couples were in attendance at the Couples Commitment Blessing —a ceremony at the Carillon for couples who met their significant other at Butler or who have a connection to Butler. “The couples that were there all seemed very appreciative, thought it was a great idea and would like it to continue, as would we,” she said. Mazelin also said the food truck festival went very well. The Flying Cupcake came with 300 cupcakes and left with one. The Der Pretzel Wagen truck sold out of pretzels with an hour and a half of time left on campus. Streets were closed for the Bulldog Beauty Contest, the parade and chariot races on Saturday. Cars parked in restricted areas
were towed. Assistant Police Chief Bill Weber said alumni were encouraged to park at The Riviera Club, where a shuttle could take them to campus. Mazelin said Homecoming is a big draw for alumni. “Homecoming is great because it brings alumni back to campus and helps strengthen their tie to Butler,” Mazelin said. One activity alumni participated in was wine tasting Friday night in the Holcomb Observatory, put on by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Friday night also included class reunions. The class of 2007 celebrated its five-year reunion at the Red Room in Broad Ripple, and the class of 2002 celebrated its 10year reunion at Moe & Johnny’s in Broad Ripple. Duke Hamm, a 1981 graduate, came back to partake in activities. “I come back to relive the greatness of Butler,” Hamm said. Hamm said he enjoyed the Bulldog Beauty Contest. Kara Greenup, a 1986 graduate, said participation was great because there was something for everybody. “We have activities for kids and young couples and returning alumni,” Greenup said. “There is so much to do, I don’t think anybody missed out on having a great time.”

Diabetic students get support MAGGIE MONSON MMONSON@BUTLER.EDU
STAFF REPORTER
Diabetes Partners, a support group for Butler University students with diabetes, recently accepted an offer to become part of a nationwide group called Students with Diabetes. Maria Fletcher, a physician at Butler’s Health and Recreation Complex, started Diabetes Partners three year ago after attending an annual College Health Association meeting. The event discussed the difficulties students with chronic illnesses have when adjusting to college. Nicole Johnson founded the national program Students with Diabetes after she won the Miss America title in 1999. When she found out she had diabetes in 1993, her doctors told her to drop out of college because she could never be successful, according to the Students with Diabetes website. Johnson was able to graduate college due to her determination, but she was aware of the lack of resources for diabetic students on her campus, Fletcher said. Fletcher said she leads the group using her medical and personal knowledge of diabetes to advise students. There are two other group advisers. Allen Antworth, from the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, answers students’ questions regarding medication for their diabetes. Antworth said he looks forward to helping students understand how to receive, store and take their medications safely at college. Nancy Zlatkin, a doctoral psychology intern, helps students in an emotional capacity as the other adviser. “I’ve been very fortunate to have the resources from the pharmacy department and the counseling department,” Fletcher said. “With this support, we feel like we can provide a partnership with our students with diabetes. I wanted it that way because I know diabetic students have needs that aren’t just medical.” The group meets once a week for an hour. Students can bring up any questions or concerns they may have. Fletcher said she aims to foster a safe environment where students can freely discuss challenges they face with diabetes. The goal of Diabetes Partners is not to specifically monitor students’ blood sugar control. Instead, Fletcher said, it has a more holistic approach to diabetes management. “We focus more on the management of stress,” Fletcher said. “When you’re under chronic stress, your catecholamines go up. When they go up, your blood sugar goes up. So your diabetes just can’t be under control when you’re under chronic stress.” The group discusses ways to maximize fitness and nutrition to help keep students’ diabetes under control and offers strategies for relaxation. John Gregg, a junior who has been diabetic since he was a freshman in high school, said the best way for him to deal with the stress of managing his illness at school is to talk to friends and family. His friends at school know how to react in case of an emergency, he said. “One of the challenges for me has been making people aware that I’m diabetic and what to do if I pass out,” Gregg said. “Some guys take it as a joke, and some guys don’t, so I have to explain the seriousness of it. “If I pass out, I could die.” Gregg said he values talking to his diabetic friends, and Diabetes Partners offers the chance to create a network of these people. Diabetes Partners works to create a support system for students living with the illness. Now that the group is affiliated with Students with Diabetes, Fletcher said she hopes it can be even more effective and have stronger resources for diabetic Butler students.

Groups promote positive self-image MELISSA IANNUZZI MIANNUZZ@BUTLER.EDU
STAFF REPORTER
In the United States, one in four women and one in 10 men live with an eating disorder and people are developing these disorders at younger ages. Initiatives to promote health and selfacceptance are popping up around Butler University in an effort to combat society’s fixation on being skinny. “You can do just as much damage to your body image as anyone else,” said sophomore Rachel Brown, a member of Peers Advocating Wellness for Students. Last Wednesday, posters for National Love Your Body Day adorned the walls of the Health and Recreation Center. One asked students to write why they loved their bodies. PAWS took part in the event, handing out granola bars and creating the posters. This week, Delta Delta Delta is hosting FatTalk-Free Week. Every chapter around the country holds this event. The event aims to help the women of Delta Delta Delta, as well as women throughout campus, focus on being healthy instead of skinny. “In the media, they Photoshop everything to look perfect,” said sophomore Kelly Freiberger, a member of Delta Delta Delta. “It’s not realistic.” The Facebook event page organizes activities by day. For example, on Monday women are encouraged to compliment their friends in the hope that accepting other people will help women accept themselves.

The women of Delta Delta Delta will have a table set up at Starbucks every day this week where students can sign a pledge to be fat-talk free. sign a pledge to eliminate negative talk about themselves and their peers. Anxiety and depression generally lead to poor self-esteem. Butler students are generally high achieving, and the pressure to succeed can carry over into their physical perception, Wallpe said. Students also can receive negative messages from their families or peer groups. “I hear a lot about students who compare themselves to other students,” she said. A common message from all three women is that the key to overcoming body image issues is creating an environment of positivity. The confident women in Brown’s life inspired
her to accept her body and focus on being healthy and feeling good she said. She encourages people who are struggling to give themselves compliments on Post-it notes as a reminder to stay positive. Freiberger encourages people to own who they are. “Even if you have things you don’t like, that’s you and you should be proud of it,” she said. Wallpe also said people should focus on celebrating their strengths. In the past, her clients have written letters to magazines and confronted negative influences in their lives. Her goal is to create a culture of body acceptance.

things with no restrictions, such as Butler ’s budget and investments. Other endowment gifts have various restrictions, such as paying the salary of an endowed chair of a department, or money for a new building on campus. Arick said endowment gifts are not given regularly like other gifts, but there is some spike in giving during December—when people try to take advantage of taxes—and at the end of Butler ’s fiscal year in May. Eli Lilly and Company and its affiliated foundations is one group that has given to Butler regularly. David Marbaugh, Eli Lilly’s communications director of corporate responsibility, said the company provides Butler a yearly $75,000 grant for diversity and matches Lilly employees’ charitable contributions to Butler dollar-for-dollar. Danko’s strategic vision operates from the “presumption of yes,” the idea that Butler will seek and reward creativity and innovation, but finding enough donors to say yes may not be easy.
Butler University students are receiving half-price meals, free pizzas, free tanning and more from a Twitter account run by a senior accounting student. @BrippCoupons currently has 1,394 followers from Butler. The account originally became popular through the creator’s friends in Greek houses and quickly spread throughout the campus, he said. The creator asked to remain anonymous because he didn’t want people asking him for personal favors. “About a dozen of my friends use it regularly,” said Dan Zinn, a fifth-year pharmacy student. “I just joined Twitter, and it was one of the first couple accounts I followed.” Zinn received a free pizza from Greek’s Pizza as part of a promotion. He also used the buy-one-get-one Subway foot-long sandwich deal and the 50 percent off Yats deal, where there was a line going out of the store for the entire day, Zinn said. Zinn said he prefers @BrippCoupons to Grupon and Living Social because it’s more local and easier to find different options the area has to offer. The Shah brothers, as the founders of Broad Ripple Coupons asked to be called, run a similar page at Ball State and are
negotiating with businesses near Indiana University. “I’m going to try to focus on other schools because Butler’s not cutting the cheese,” a brother said. At Ball State, students pay $5 for a card to have access to the special promotions that the Shah brothers negotiate with businesses. At Butler, the student population didn’t seem large enough. Proportionally, Butler has been the Shah brothers’ most successful business. The small size, however is inhibiting the account from being as successful as the one at Ball State. Broad Ripple businesses pay him to advertise special promotions to his followers. “Staff members hate me and my brother because they get slammed that day with a ton of people,” he said. The Shah brothers started the business as a texting database at their high school, but it eventually died off. Their business at Butler originally started out with a group email until Twitter became popular. Negotiations can be challenging and time consuming. Many businesses say no, and others take two to three months to close the deal. The brothers just finished a negotiation with Hotbox Pizza. On Nov. 2, followers can get free breadsticks from 2 to 5 p.m. On Nov. 14, followers can get a large, one-topping pizza for $8.

Dawg Pound members support the men’s basketball team at Hinkle Fieldhouse during a 2010-11 game.
The student ticket process for attending basketball games has changed this year. With both basketball seasons right around the corner, students need to make sure they follow the correct steps to gain admittance to Hinkle Fieldhouse. All students can still attend games, but if they are not members of Dawg Pound, they will need to register with their student ID numbers. Lindsay Martin, manager of marketing and promotions, said the new process will allow the department to track who attends games. Students can register in two ways. The first is to email the athletics department and request to be registered. People will also be present at the first men’s basketball exhibition game this Saturday to register students as they come in. A form is available on butlersports.com, Martin said, but it has not been working. She suggests one of the first two options to make sure students get registered. There is no cost to register. Part of the student activity fee that students must pay goes to cover this cost. The process has changed slightly for Dawg Pound members as well. Members no longer have a card. Instead, they are registered through their student ID just like other students. Students can still register to be a member of Dawg Pound and receive the organization’s benefits. Martin said only Dawg Pound members can sit in the lower-level seats.

Lynch is Mr. Butler KYLE BEERY
KBEERY@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER
Bill Lynch’s career path has come full circle. He played football and basketball at Butler, and after a series of football coaching jobs, he finds himself back at his alma mater. After 33 years of coaching football, including 18 as a head coach, Lynch has now been serving as one of Butler’s associate athletic directors since March 2011. Lynch is the associate athletic director for development, as well as the football sport administrator. He helps manage the Bulldog Club, which provides annual donations to athletics. The Bulldog Club gets gifts from alumni, faculty and community members to help provide benefits to athletics, such as the current
Hinkle Fieldhouse renovations. Lynch said he considers himself to be a “point person” for the campaign, as he helps the fundraising process. Lynch began his coaching career as an assistant football coach for the Bulldogs before becoming the head coach in 1985. He led the team to four conference championships in five seasons before going to Ball State as an assistant. Lynch’s successor as head coach at Butler was former football teammate Ken LaRose, who is now the radio color commentator for Butler football. “He’s a winner ever since I knew him,” LaRose said. Lynch’s first head coaching position was with the Cardinals from 1995 to 2002, where he led the team to one bowl game and two division championships. After one season as head

because it’s different than the high school game,” sophomore guard Alex Barlow said. “And just having to take on more of a leadership role being here for a year, you want to try to help the freshmen.” The freshmen have been trying to accustom themselves to balancing classes with athletics since practice started Oct. 12. “When you start college basketball practice, it’s like adding a 400-level class that meets six days a week for two-plus hours a day with older, more established people in that program that you’re competing against for time,” Stevens said. A new NCAA rule has also helped with the development of the freshmen. “I definitely think that, with the new college rule where coaches were allowed to work with players this summer, [it] definitely put them
ahead of what most of us were our freshman year because they were introduced to the system at an earlier time,” Marshall said. Barlow said the newcomers are picking up Butler’s system well. “They’re all learning and asking a bunch of questions, which is good,” Barlow said. “It shows they want to learn, they want to know what they’re doing wrong, what they’re doing right.” The Bulldogs begin a stretch of two exhibition games at home Saturday against Marian, which is coached by former Butler coach Todd Lickliter. Stevens said it is not enjoyable for him to coach against a former boss and friend like Lickliter. “Outside of my parents and my family, there hasn’t been anybody that’s been more meaningful to me personally for what they’ve done— for the support they have given me—both by hiring me and then bringing me along, and then ever since they’ve left,” Stevens said. “I can’t say enough great things about coach Lickliter. It’s going to be great to have him back in Hinkle.”

The Bulldogs will play at Davidson Saturday at noon
Butler travels to North Carolina to take on Davidson (1-6, 1-3) Saturday. The Bulldogs (6-2, 5-0) are tied with Drake at the top of the Pioneer Football League standings. The Wildcats of Davidson are coming off their first victory of the season, a 28-21 win over rival Campbell. Butler is still undefeated in PFL play following a 39-35 Homecoming victory over Morehead State last Saturday. The Bulldogs trailed 35-17 with about 13 minutes remaining. The Eagles (1-6, 0-4) generated that lead on a touchdown run by senior receiver Kevin Thomas. Redshirt junior quarterback Matt Lancaster, who completed 31 of 53 passes for 296 yards, recorded three of his four touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to lead the comeback for Butler. Lancaster connected with redshirt junior receiver Brendan Shannon twice and redshirt sophomore receiver Derek O’Connor once in the final period. Shannon said he sensed a momentum shift after the first touchdown of the fourth quarter. “You could feel it in the crowd and on the sideline (that) everyone was starting to see and believe that we

could come back and win this game,” Shannon said. “The whole night was unbelievable,” Lancaster said. “To have that crowd late in the game was obviously a momentum boost for us.” On the Bulldogs’ next drive, Lancaster connected with O’Connor from 11 yards out and then with redshirt junior tight end Matt Jenson on a two-point conversion. The eight-point drive left Butler down 35-32 with 3:49 remaining. The Bulldogs pinned the Eagles deep in their own territory on the ensuing kickoff and got the ball back at midfield with about two and a half minutes left. The game-winning touchdown came when Lancaster hit Shannon for a 17-yard score with 1:22 remaining. Shannon finished with 14 catches for 233 yards and three touchdowns. The dual-threat Lancaster also added 101 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground. Redshirt junior receiver Tom Judge caught four passes for 30 yards.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS
Increased participation leads to expansion PETER BROWN PBROWN1@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

Two intramural volleyball players, seen battling for the ball, play their games in the HRC throughout the week.
Students looking for a break from the busy midterm week have the option of participating in an intramural sport on campus. In addition to an academic break, intramurals gives students a chance to get involved on campus. Senior Matt Miller, has been playing intramural sports for all four years with the same group of friends. “It’s a good way to take your mind off schoolwork,” Miller said. “I’d recommend it to anyone whether you have a group of friends or not.” There is a sport for nearly everyone. From flag football to ping pong and volleyball to sports trivia, each activity caters to different interests. “We try to offer something for everyone, regardless of your skill level or comfort level,” recreation director Scott Peden said. “I think the understanding is that you have to have extensive knowledge or you have to have played in high school, and that is far from the truth,” said Eric Kammeyer, assistant director of recreation. Students who wish to participate must create an account online through IMLeagues. Once registered, a student can either join or create a team. From 2004 to 2011, total team participation increased from 124 to 668, including a jump from 194 to 459 between 2008 and 2009. Additionally, individual participation has increased from 951 to 3,133 over the last eight years. Kammeyer attributes the drastic change in participation to high school experience. “I think a lot more students are getting involved in high school, and when they get to college, they don’t want to let it go,” Kammeyer said. Sophomore Jake Ready is an example of this. Ready
said he has played nearly every intramural sport and recommends Butler’s program to everyone. “I played sports in high school, and I’m not playing a collegiate sport, so it’s a good way to stay active and keep playing without the major time commitment of playing an actual collegiate sport,” Ready said. Varsity athletes at Butler are allowed to play intramural sports but not the same sport that they play at Butler. Intramural sports have changed drastically at Butler over the last several years. Prior to Kammeyer’s hiring in fall of 2009, all signups were done by paper at the Health and Recreation Complex, and there was a marketing committee that went around campus looking for participants. “We really had to go out and talk to the participants,” Kammeyer said. “Now we don’t have to show up at their doorstep. We can be on their mobile phone or connect with them all over campus.” Now that signups are done over the Internet, students can sign up at their house or dorm rather than going to the HRC. Additionally, the use of Twitter and other social media has allowed information, such as intramural championships, to be communicated. Other changes include an increase from eight to 16 different sports, adopting the national rules of sports, three-to-four week leagues with single-elimination playoff games and raffles such as free pizza for a year and a new car. Kammeyer said while organizers like to stick to the traditional sports, they also like to offer unique sports. An example of this is battleship, which, Kammeyer said, will be an intramural sport in the spring. “The part I enjoy the most is being able to spend time with your friends, ” Ready said, “doing what I love most, which is sports.”
FOR YOUR HEALTH
Certain foods aid college life Eating healthy is hard. Eating healthy in college is even more difficult. Stress, busy schedules and late nights create an on-the-go atmosphere conducive to late-night Cheetos binges. Fortunately, dining options are available for students or anyone living a busy, tight -walleted lifestyle. Below are six staple college foods primed to help you live a healthier lifestyle. EGGS High protein, nutrient density and a price that can’t be beat make eggs a collegiate superfood. Eggs contain about 80 calories and six grams of protein and can usually be bought by the dozen for less than two dollars. Starting the day off with eggs may also help you stay full until lunch. Protein found in egg whites and essential nutrients and fats in the yolk will keep your stomach satisfied longer. Critics cite cholesterol as a reason to avoid eggs, but according to the American Heart Association, adults can consume an egg a day without worrying about harmful cholesterol effects. WHOLE GRAINS Dieting disciples from Atkins to Paleo condemn grains as an agent of obesity. Fortunately, the carb controversy is a myth.

According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, “grains, especially whole grains, are an important part of a healthy diet.” The key to utilizing grains in your diet is understanding the difference between healthy whole grains and unhealthy refined grains or white bread. Whole grains contain the entire grain: the kernel, bran and germ. The bran is a good source of fiber while the small germ is dense with nutrients. Refined grains (white bread products) are milled, leaving only the kernel—the least nutritious part of the grain. Because they are stripped of nutrition and fiber, refined grains are less satisfying, causing you to consume more calories to feel full. Conversely, whole grains are a good source of nutrients, fiber and complex carbohydrates. Using whole grains wisely can energize

Lynch came to Butler in 1972 as a student and played both football and basketball. Lynch said he took a lot away from his playing days with the Bulldogs. “I think it’s like anybody that looks back at a playing career,” Lynch said. “It’s the relationships you’ve built and the
SPINACH Think of spinach as your general manager of nutrition, addressing many of your body’s behind-the-scenes needs. This vitamin superstar is full of vitamin A, vitamin K, antioxidants, folate, calcium and dietary fiber. Combine its nutrient density with its easy accessibility, all while registering at seven calories per serving, and it’s easy to see what makes spinach such a dietary must. APPLES America’s favorite fruit made the list due to its easy accessibility in Atherton and Greek houses, its inexpensive cost and the fiber and nutrients it holds. Natural sugars found in apples can keep you energized, while the fiber in the apple’s skin aids colon health and keeps you fuller longer. So next time you’re craving a sugary snack, take a bite out of a Granny Smith instead. CHICKEN BREAST There’s a reason bodybuilders won’t stop raving about chicken breast. At 21 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fat and only 114 calories per 100-gram serving, poultry packs a serious protein punch.
friendships and the ones that have lasted throughout the years.” Lynch played right after Tony Hinkle retired, during a transitional period, but he said it was a great experience. He said the team played to a degree of success, but it pales in comparison to the recent success of the men’s basketball team. Butler Athletic Director Barry Collier played basketball with Lynch for the Bulldogs and said Lynch was the first Butler student he ever made contact with. In the summer of 1974, Collier received a recruitment letter from Lynch, who was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter at Butler, and Collier eventually became Lynch’s fraternity brother. Collier, who transferred to Butler as a junior, said he was impressed how easily Lynch made the transition from football season to basketball season. “He was a leader on the team immediately,” Collier said. “He was kind of a ‘player-coach’ on the floor, because of how he relied on experience and knowledge to succeed as much as he did physicality.” Collier said a lot people think Lynch and Butler are synonymous. “Whether that makes him ‘Mr. Butler,’ I
In addition to helping rebuild muscle, protein also takes longer to digest, meaning eating chicken breast will help you stay full after a meal. Chicken breast’s real beauty lies in its versatility and availability. Baked or grilled, chicken breast is easy to cook and usually available at Atherton, earning it a spot among collegiate superfoods. COLD-CUT TURKEY BREAST Folks, let me be clear: based purely on nutritional value, cold-cut deli meat is not “healthy.” Manufacturers often use fillers, salt and nitrates to extend meat shelf life and enhance flavor. However, the convenience, low price and dependable availability of deli meat in school dining venues earns it an honorable mention in this list. Think of cold cuts as your cheat-meat—a healthier alternative to a burger or pizza. However, all cold cuts are not created equal. Choose low-fat turkey breast or chicken breast for your next sandwich. These birds are high in protein and relatively low in calories and fat. Turkey breast measures in at only 50 calories per serving while providing nine grams of protein and only one gram of fat.
don’t know,” Collier said. LaRose said he likes the title of Mr. Butler for Lynch. “He is the perfect ambassador for Butler in the position that he is in,” LaRose said. “When you think of Butler, many people think of Bill Lynch,” Collier said. “And when you mention Bill Lynch, many people think of Butler.”

STUDENTS SHINE IN SHOWCASE GERRALD VAZQUEZ GVAZQUEZ@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER
There is far more to dance than tutu-clad ballerinas moving to the music of Swan Lake. Such stereotypes fail to represent the vast world of contemporary dance. Fortunately, Butler University students will prepare and perform a variety of pieces for their peers to expose the true, full nature of dance. Butler dance students are preparing for the annual Student Choreography Showcase this week. The nearly two-month process will soon reward the choreographers and performing dancers. “It’s exciting when everything comes together,” said senior Morgan Sicklick, a showcase choreographer. “After you’ve rehearsed it for so long, just seeing the finished product gives a sense of relief and
a sense of accomplishment in knowing I worked on something together with a large group of people.” Senior Shelby Canella manages the showcase on a tight shift, collecting music, arranging schedules and keeping deadlines in order to assure the showcase runs without hiccup. “There were a few times I did threaten to cut people from the showcase,” Canella said. “To keep things running smoothly, I have to keep deadlines, and I have to do set showings.” Canella also choreographed a piece and dances in several others, saying that designing original choreographies is far more difficult than many would imagine. “It’s kind of like writing a paper,” Canella said. “You get a great idea, and then, you get stuck. You just don’t know what to do. It takes a lot of editing and a lot of perfecting.” Many of the choreographers in this
showcase are veterans from years prior. Senior Matt Doolin recreated a piece he did two years ago, this time with the intent of summing up his college social experiences and, in the process, entertaining the audience. “This time, I wanted to make it even better,” Doolin said. “I wanted it more entertaining, I wanted more people, and their costumes and movements are going to be more over the top. The piece is purely to entertain people.” The showcase grants an opportunity for students to express themselves in a manner outside the standard dance curriculum. Students run the entire showcase, and choreographers say they have a sense of artistic freedom. “What’s great about the showcase is you get to see what the students can do,” Canella said. “During the year, we only get to do what the professors put on us, but when this showcase comes around, you get to see what
The Student Choreography Showcase is Oct. 25 and 26 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Lilly Hall 310. Audiences are encouraged to arrive early, as the showcase has sold out every year. the students can choreograph, and you get to see how the dancers in the pieces can move.” For those unfamiliar with dance, the showcase provides an excellent opportunity to see an assortment of unique styles that break away from traditional dance stereotypes. “It’s not going to be a classical ballet where you sit and watch the same thing for hours,” said senior Justin Metcalf-Burton, a showcase choreographer. “This is going to be people doing weird stuff, new stuff, stuff you probably don’t think of as concert dance, experimental work and stuff that’s just fun.”

CPA looking to add art workshops MARIA LEICHTY MLEICHTY@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER
The Council on Presidential Affairs is looking to spice things up by bringing art workshops to Butler University. The idea is still in the works, but it would involve workshops either on Butler’s campus or at Indianapolis art studios, such as the nearby Indianapolis Museum of Art, said Scott Nemeth, vice president of administration for the Student Government Association. The workshops, Nemeth said, would be
available for any Butler student to attend for fun. Nemeth said the student affairs committee came up with the idea of Butler collaborating with local partners to put on workshops. He said it would be “something alternative to the usual.” “We don’t have a chance to explore other hobbies once we get out of our core classes,” Nemeth said. Sophomore Nicole Coglianese is a pharmacy major and said art workshops would be a nice change of pace because they have nothing to do with math or science. “It would be something new and would
help expand my cultural background,” Coglianese said. CPA is hoping to fill the gap in the arts at Butler, said Rachel Hahn, a member of the student affairs committee. She said Butler does a good job promoting the arts, especially dance and music, but is lacking in visual arts appreciation. Indianapolis provides many opportunities for students to get more involved in visual arts, she said. “Visual art is a good way of relaxing and expressing yourself,” Hahn said. Some workshop possibilities include painting, ceramics and cooking.
“When you produce art, you have an increased awareness of what it takes to produce art and a better appreciation of artists in general,” Hahn said. Nemeth said CPA is looking at collaborating with current faculty who teach basic art courses. The workshops could start as soon as next semester. He said the art route would involve the IMA, which is convenient for students since it is within walking distance of Butler. “By opening up cultural things such as art,” Nemeth said, “you are introducing students to a hobby they can keep doing in the future.”

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
L.A. composer returns to Butler
KEVIN VOGEL KJVOGEL@BUTLER.EDU ARTS, ETC. EDITOR
When one thinks of the life of a Hollywood film composer—a life full of long hours, cut-throat competition and almost constant rejection—it is hard to imagine a composer who is not jaded or stingy. Christopher Young, contrary to this image, is one of the most sincere people I have had the privilege of meeting. This should in no way speak negatively of his presence or impact on the industry, however. He has worked on a number of high-publicity films, recently scoring “The Rum Diary,” starring Johnny Depp, and “Priest.” He also composed music for “Spider Man 3.” His film “Sinister” is currently playing in theaters. His hits through the years were the first two “Hellraiser” films and “Species,” which Young said changed his career overnight. Michael Schelle, professor of music and composer-in-residence, calls Young one of the most original composers in the industry today. Schelle uses scenes from Young’s movies in his film music survey class. Young is making his third visit to
Film composer Christopher Young meets with music students during his last visit in 2010. Butler University this week and his second visit in three years. He will be working with music students—especially composers and members of the orchestra—as well as giving public presentations about his life and career. If the presentations from his visit in 2010 are a basis for judgment, these are not to be missed. Young has a great sense of humor, and his candid anecdotes covering his studies at the University of
California, Los Angeles, his work with the unique visions of directors and his method of producing a lot of music on a tight schedule give the audience valuable insight into this little-understood and vastly unappreciated art form. Young is a great resource for any student interested in going into the film or television industry or even students looking to move to Los Angeles after graduation. When I mentioned that I was

considering film composition as a career path, his genuine willingness to help was heartwarming. He gave me his cell phone number and an invitation to call anytime with questions. Schelle said this is one of the reasons he and Young became close friends. When Schelle met Young to interview him for his book “The Score,” Young shook Schelle’s hand and rattled off a long list of Schelle’s compositions.
Recognition is surely the fastest way to a composer’s heart. “It brought tears to my eyes,” Schelle said. Schelle then invited Young to work with students at Butler in 1999 and again two years ago. Four of Schelle’s previous students have gone on to study film composition at the University of Southern California, and all four have apprenticed for Young in his studio. The presentations are not the only events students and faculty can take advantage of this week. There are open Butler Symphony Orchestra rehearsals today and Saturday, where Young will be working with members of the orchestra and chorale in preparing cues from his films. Young’s five-day-long residency culminates in a BSO concert on Sunday, in which the orchestra and chorale will perform Young’s music, pieces by John Corigliano and George Crumb and premieres by Schelle and graduate student Kyle Wernke. Students interested in music and life behind the silver screen or those who want to immerse themselves in spooky music before Halloween should take advantage of Young’s visit to Butler this week.

Some Butler University students will don their Halloween costumes Friday to support the U.S. Dream Academy in Butler’s first ever 5k costume run. All proceeds from the event go directly to the U.S. Dream Academy. The U.S. Dream Academy is an organization that works to empower children from impoverished communities, helping them succeed in school and avoid jail. The organization aims to help children of all financial backgrounds achieve their dreams. The men of Sigma Nu are sponsoring the event. Juniors Mike Rozzo and Craig Fisher and sophomore Jeff Petty are planning the costume run. The money raised from the run will specifically benefit kids in Indianapolis schools, Rozzo said, by helping schools afford computers, playgrounds and afterschool programs. Rozzo said the run will start in
front of the Health and Recreation Complex and will end at the Sigma Nu fraternity house. All participants are encouraged to dress up in their Halloween costumes. “All of the brothers will be dressed up,” Rozzo said. “Right now, we’re thinking about dressing like zombies. Everyone else should come with their best costume.” While the brothers will be dressed like zombies, Rozzo said this event will not be like the average zombie run. “The zombies won’t be scaring people, and it won’t be haunted,” Rozzo said. “The brothers are there as guides to make sure everyone follows the path.” Petty said the team is looking to provide food for the participants once they reach the end of the course. With the costume run kicking off at 5 p.m., Petty said participants would still have time to take part in later evening plans. Fisher said campus involvement is very important in all philanthropic efforts at Butler. “We’re really excited to have
Right now, we’re thinking about dressing like zombies. Everyone else should come with their best costume. MIKE ROZZO JUNIOR this opportunity to get the whole campus involved in something that’s worthwhile,” Fisher said. Students interested in participating in the costume run can sign up at the booth at Starbucks Monday through Friday. Students must pay $5 in order to participate in the run. “The money goes straight to the U.S. Dream Academy,” Rozzo said, “so I think it’ll be a great experience for whoever shows up.”
Lights dimming in Clowes Memorial Hall signify the beginning of a gripping musical performance. On Oct. 21, the Butler University Wind Ensemble delivered a moving concert filled with colorful pieces vastly different in nature, reminding the audience why music is such a beautiful art form. The program began with a composition called “Catstravaganza,” written by Kyle Wernke, a Butler student currently completing his master’s of music degree in orchestral conducting. The piece was a perfect opener. It was enthralling and creative, utilizing a whistle, trumpet mutes and the glockenspiel. The theme throughout the piece signified the playful nature of cats, along with their cute and cuddly sides. The rest of the program was very diverse and appealing. Loud, attention-grabbing pieces like the “Prologue” movement in Joseph Turrin’s “Chronicles” and “The Kings of France” Movement III of Norman Dello Joio’s “Scenes from the Louvre” bolstered the performance. In contrast, works like the “Lamentation” movement from “Chronicles” and “The Nativity Paintings” from “Scenes from
the Louvre” were beautiful and legato, their slower tempos and melodies bringing a sense of peace and calm to the audience. This concert contained some surprises as well. “English Dances,” an assorted movement composition that opened the second half, held both spectrums of musical style, from allegro to legato. Malcolm Arnold, the piece’s composer, has created 132 film scores including “Whistle Down the Wind,” which could be why this particular piece felt like a time machine transporting the listener right to the middle of the Netherfield Ball in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Traces of “Star Wars” and “Harry Potter” were found in “52nd St. Chorale.” In the performance “If Ever Two Were One,” most of the Wind Ensemble exited the stage, leaving a small ensemble composed of 12 musicians. The piece was the most moving on the program and marked the debut performance of this arrangement. Meaghan Sands, an Anderson University graduate in vocal performance, added to the emotional draw of this song with her stunning soprano voice, in tune and balanced perfectly with the ensemble. Overall, the program was enticing in all aspects. The ensemble performed flawlessly, the conducting was fun to watch and the outside soloists were superb in every measure they sang or played. A commendable concert for sure, and the Wind Ensemble is recommended for all who enjoy music.

Conduct Board needs change The members of Butler University’s Student Conduct Board hold an immense responsibility— hearing appeals from students who undergo an administrative review. Student Conduct Board members determine whether or not any punitive measures set against their peers can be changed. Due to the large amount of power vested in these positions, the exact procedures surrounding student appointment should be examined. First-year students make up five of the 12 conduct board members. While there is no problem with freshmen serving on this board, no class should hold nearly half of the positions. Since Student Conduct Board reviews get moderated by at least three students, two faculty members and a staff member without a vote, this becomes even more important.
OUR POINT THIS WEEK:
THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD REFORM THE STUDENT CONDUCT BOARD’S STRUCTURE. | 18-0-10 The students presiding over a review are selected at random from the 12 members, meaning a student appellant could face a review board with more than one first-year student. This biases the session since student experience in college changes over time. Due to these issues, the student appointment process should be reviewed and changed. Administration could explore several ideas to make the board more representative of the student body. Reworking the policy so three members from each class must be appointed would make the representation more equitable.
By divvying up the positions available by year, a student appellant’s chance to face a panel composed predominantly of a certain class would be reduced. A more radical change would be a complete overhaul of the system, replacing it with a process that mirrors jury duty. Although this idea might be unpopular at first, a system similar to jury duty would ensure an unbiased and fair conduct board. Students would be selected randomly to serve on the conduct board each time a student makes an appeal. This random selection balances the amount of power centered on the board by changing those
standing on it for each session. A jury duty system would also have the benefit of preparing students for a real-life situation they will likely encounter. This reformed process would also solve another issue with the current board policy—those appointed serve for two years at a time. With a position this powerful that allows individuals to make potentially life-changing decisions, a two-year term is far too long. Especially at a fouryear university, a position of power that lasts two years simply fails to acknowledge the constant change and flux of a college campus. Large, systemic issues are at play within the Student Conduct Board as it stands now. The administration should review the structure of the Student Conduct Board— and soon.
Homecoming should be more than a party DONALD PERIN
Homecoming is about welcoming back Butler alumni, not just about throwing parties. Homecoming is a fabled time of the school year when the parties are larger and the excitement goes from the crack of dawn til long after the sun sets. Homecoming is something far more than just a time to party, and it is not just for the currently attending students. Homecoming is a time for alumni to “come home,” reminisce about their days at Butler University and see what the university has become. Dan Kaufman, a 1966 Butler graduate, said he loves coming back to Butler to see that the university is doing so well. “I hope the university continues to demonstrate The Butler Way, so to speak, and the way that it’s intended to be,” Kaufman said. “So many people have demonstrated its possibilities, and for it to continue to grow, not necessarily in size, but in the

strength that it has academically.” Junior Esther Flaharty said she believes some students understand what Homecoming means to alumni. “For the students, it’s a lot about raging, but it’s also good to see the alumni come back,” Flaharty said. “But for a lot of people it’s just about partying. For alumni it is about coming back and reminiscing and seeing what the university has become.”
The university also uses Homecoming to showcase the school’s greatest achievements, reminding the alumni that Butler is a worthy investment. Roger Phelps, another 1966 Butler graduate, said the only contact he has with the university any more is solicitation. “I used to sit on those phone banks myself, so it’s hard for me to condemn it,” Phelps said. “But I know it’s a valuable part of the
financial situation.” Phelps and Kaufman both said that even when they were students at Butler, Homecoming was the biggest party of the year. It is good to know that while many things about Butler have changed over the years, some things have remained the same. Contact asst. opinion editor Donald Perin at dperin@butler.edu.

Local trial represents a call for student action

Students should respond as activists to Bei Bei Shuai’s upcoming trial.

Breast cancer awareness groups have objectified women Campaigns such as “I <3 boobies” work against their goals by sexualizing women. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The entire Butler University community has rallied together to raise money and spread awareness. It’s a very powerful experience benefitting a worthy social cause. However, “sexy” breast cancer programs have become more popular in the past several years, which is troubling. This sexualized message works against the campaign’s goals by using questionable means. Granted, the goal of any cancer program is noble. One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. This disease will inevitably affect almost everyone. Recently, the campaigns of keep-a-breast.org have become popular. They are behind the “I <3 Boobies” bracelets, among other slogans and products. A quick visit to its website shows that the group is concerned with education and awareness. It is a legitimate charity
Part of the value of a liberal arts education is to analyze both content and context. A reasonable person can demand more than just a noble cause. He or she can ask for means and messages that are also noble. There is no problem with raising money for breast cancer— as long as that’s truly the motivation. But breast cancer should be a concern to everyone, regardless of how they feel about “boobies.” There are other groups that donate to breast cancer research. The American Cancer Society, which organizes Relay for Life, is an excellent example. The solution is still to donate time and money to charities and to be on the lookout for people in the community who need the support. The American Cancer Society develops a variety of events to benefit different kinds of cancer research and treatment, as well as offering counseling and educational resources. So get out for breast cancer events and Relay for Life, but please do so by focusing on the people at stake, not the attractiveness of the organs.

organization that has good intentions. The focus of breast cancer is, after all, people. People who have breasts. This is not just a semantic game. The focus of the “I <3 Boobies” message is on the content of someone’s chest, and not real lives at stake. Breast cancer awareness should be a priority for students, faculty and staff. The entire community should donate its time and effort to the cause. But if some people do not care about breast cancer until they are reminded breasts are on the line, they are acting out of self-interest, not philanthropy. That is not a general accusation of everyone who has the bracelet or has donated. But it is something everyone needs to be aware of going forward with cancer awareness campaigns. The point is, there’s more to charity than just the stated goal.

Indiana is prosecuting a local woman, Bei Bei Shuai, after she attempted suicide while pregnant. This case bears far-reaching implications for women nationwide because it grants the state more power over the choices of pregnant women. Since the outcome of this trial ultimately affects all women, Butler University students can and should get involved. All the events leading up to these proceedings began in December 2010. During this time, Shuai was 33 weeks pregnant, and her partner had abandoned her. Shuai then attempted suicide by ingesting rat poison at a local hardware store. Although she survived the suicide attempt, her child passed away three days after a Caeserean section was performed. Then, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry decided to prosecute Shuai, an Indianapolis citizen and Chinese immigrant, approximately a month later on charges of murder and feticide. Based on these charges, the state placed her in jail in March 2011. After much litigation, consciousness-raising and activism, Shuai’s defense team raised enough money to post a $50,000 bail more than a year later in May 2012. Since then, the defense team has continued raising awareness about Shuai’s case and how it affects people nationwide as it awaits an upcoming trial in April. Last week, a public forum about Shuai’s plight took place at Butler. Shuai’s defense attorney Linda Pence, physician and legal counsel David Orentlicher and Lynn Paltrow, National Advocates for Pregnant Women executive director, moderated the event. Among several points discussed, one of the main takeaways was that this is a local issue Butler students can and should have a direct say about. People might shrug this case off, thinking it has no impact on them. But as stated earlier, this trial sets a dangerous precedent for women everywhere. Suicide is not illegal in Indiana,

so Shuai did not break any law in that sense. So the logic behind the prosecution is that Shuai’s attempted suicide ultimately amounts to a feticide, or “intentional murder of the fetus.” Feticide, though, was added into Indiana law to prosecute third parties who kill the fetus while assaulting the mother, according to Indiana legal code. This complete reworking of the law to legislate against women’s bodies and limit mothers’ autonomy is reprehensible. The proper response to a suicide attempt is medical treatment and counseling, not a trial criminalizing the mother. Students, fortunately, can do much more than throw their hands up in the air. Instead of standing by idly, students can write to Indiana’s legislators and the Marion County prosecutor calling for the trial to be dropped. They can continue to raise awareness about Shuai’s case through word-of-mouth and social media. And they can perform direct actions, including protests and sitins, calling for the charges against her to be dropped. “It’s important for students who live in the area to make their voices heard, especially in an age of political turmoil surrounding women’s rights,” said senior Craig Middleton, a social media consultant for Shuai’s defense team. Butler prides itself on community involvement, from volunteering to cultural trips. This trial represents a social issue in our backyard that students can have an impact on. If the student body allows this case to pass by without taking any action, then it fails to live up to the “Community of Care” mantra. Let’s be informed, caring and active in this community, and take a stand for Bei Bei Shuai. Contact opinion editor Reid Bruner at rmbruner@butler.edu.
Workloads during Homecoming week should decrease Less homework should be assigned to students during Homecoming week. Homecoming is a time for the entire student body to come together. Unfortunately, many couldn’t fully participate because they had homework. Homecoming is an important weekend and only comes around once a year. Teachers should try to accommodate students and lighten

our workload. Many students had major assignments due after Fall Break, only to get hammered with homework again the next week. College is supposed to be challenging, but to overload students, especially when professors know there are so many
activities happening on campus, is not right. If nothing else, professors should assign work that is due at the beginning of the week. This would allow students to be free at the end of the week when most of the larger events happen. Having assignments due at the end of the week or next week is difficult because students either miss out on the Homecoming experience or face a mountain of work the following week. Homecoming is supposed to be a memorable time. We have the end of the semester to be locked in the library in a deep study mode.
Many of my friends stayed in for the weekend because they had too much work to finish. We have approximately 32 weeks of schooling each year. Certainly teachers can lighten the load for one of those weeks. Many pharmacy students who have clusters this week stayed in Friday and Saturday night to study for upcoming tests. Students from other colleges and studies also felt the pressure of school work leading into Homecoming. “People have a lot on their plate,” freshman Paul Babbitt said. From top to bottom, students feel overwhelmed with the amount

of work they have. Professors were in college—they have to realize that students only get so many homecomings. They should also realize that students in campus organizations have to participate in the events going on around campus. This will cut down on the amount study time they have, and their grades could suffer from it. It is in everyone’s best interest to lighten the workload, if for no other reason, to have a great homecoming weekend. Contact columnist Rhyan Henson at rhenson@butler.edu.

Ronald Mallett’s theories are derived from the work of Einstein and Gödel and from his own experiments over 30 years. But behind the science lies Mallett’s personal story. The death of his father when he was a boy set him on his path to invent a time machine. Mallett also overcame poverty and racism to become one of the few African-American Ph.Ds. in theoretical physics.
