BUPD RESPONDS TO FALLEN IMPD OFFICER

“Comes with donning the uniform” Butler police ofﬁcers continue to mourn the death of an IMPD ofﬁcer MARAIS JACON-DUFFY MJACONDU@BUTLER.EDU NEWS EDITOR

Butler University Police Department ofﬁcers are wearing black bands around their badges in memory of fallen Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department ofﬁcer Rod Bradway. Bradway was killed Friday responding to a domestic disturbance call in northeast Indianapolis. Funeral services for Bradway are set for 11 a.m. Thursday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

An air of mourning clouded the Butler University Police Department after Friday’s shooting in Indianapolis. Officers have covered their badges with a black elastic band since Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer Rod Bradway’s death. BUPD Sergeant Chris Marcum’s eyes filled with tears while reflecting on the dangers and possibility of death for police officers. “This is just one of those things that comes with donning the uniform,” Marcum said. “You have to do what you have to do, but knowing this doesn’t make it any easier.” Marcum recited a Facebook post written by a fellow law enforcement officer in light of Bradway’s death. “He was just trying to help a citizen screaming for help,” the post said. “This was just a senseless act of violence.” Bradway was responding to a domestic dispute and

acted according to protocol, according to the Indianapolis Star. Bradway entered an apartment at 2 a.m. on Friday on the northeast side of Indianapolis to aid a woman who had been held at gunpoint for three hours. A small child was also present in the home, according to the Indianapolis Star. Bradway was shot and killed by a man hiding behind a door in the apartment. The gunman, 24-year-old Steven Byrdo, was later killed after pointing his gun at another IMPD officer. Customary action for honoring a fallen officer is to wear a black elastic band over badges on uniforms. Bill Weber, BUPD assistant police chief anticipated the memorial for Bradway would be “a large procession, and BUPD officers will surely participate.” A police vigil was held on Friday evening for Bradway. Numerous BUPD officers attended. Weber said one member of BUPD, Officer Bill Kennedy, went to the police academy with Bradway. Officer Kennedy volunteered to stay with Bradway’s body in the early hours of the morning. It is tradition for police personnel to stay with a fallen officer’s body until burial.

ROD BRADWAY BUPD officers have dealt with similar tragedies over the last few years with the death of IMPD Officer David Moore in 2011 and BUPD Officer James Davis in 2004. Davis’ death occurred exactly nine years ago yesterday. Marcum said BUPD will likely take calls from IMPD beats to help lighten their workload as memorial arrangements are made. BUPD took IMPD calls after Moore’s death as well, Marcum said. Weber said IMPD has a Police Office Support Team, that specializes in helping families and coworkers deal with the harm or death of a loved one in the line of duty. “These people are specially trained to help with grief training and respond to traumatic experiences,” Weber said. “They are highly qualified to help comfort those affected by this horrible tragedy.”

COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

COB dean Williams to step down JOE PERIN

DPERIN@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

College of Business Dean Chuck Williams will step down on May 31, 2014, after six years as the head of the college. Williams is leaving Butler University after helping the COB gain national recognition for its internship program, high national ranking and high graduate job placement. Williams said the average business school dean’s tenure is around three years. “The normal career path for someone who’s been a dean as long as I have is to go on to be a provost and then a president,” Williams said. “I don’t really want to do that. Those are great jobs, but for me, I really like being a

business school dean. “And if you’re not going to do that— and you’ve been at a place six years and things have been good—then the option is you go look for another dean’s job.” Williams said he does not have a new job as of now due to the seasonal nature of recruiting new deans, but he hopes to find a vacancy to fill at another university. Junior finance major Justin Mazzarella said, while Williams helped Butler’s COB grow into a top 50 business school, the rest of the college will continue its legacy. “The professors, the students and faculty; that’s ultimately what matters,” Mazzarella said. “But the next dean has some big shoes to fill. Hopefully, he can continue the trend of success.”

Associate professor Richard Fetter said he is conﬁdent the college will continue to be successful. “You never know where a new dean is going to try and take an organization, but administrators come and go. Colleges stick around,” Fetter said. “We have a long-term commitment to what we do in the college, and I would expect good things in the future.” Provost Kathryn Morris will put together a search committee over the next few weeks to select a new dean for the college. The committee should take several weeks to meet, write a job description and then publish an advertisement in the Chronicle of Higher Education, a publication of news, information and job listings for see WILLIAMS page 4

Students express concern with internship program JEFF STANICH JSTANICH@BUTLER.EDU

STAFF REPORTER

Butler University’s College of Business is known as one of the best in the country in multiple categories. Bloomberg Businessweek distinguishes the internship program as the 12th-best in the nation, according to the COB section of Butler’s website. However, some students don’t believe the college deserves this high ranking. Several seniors who have already completed internships for the college said the system is full of ﬂaws. Senior Lynsey Sell had an internship at

ExactTarget, a digital marketing software company in downtown Indianapolis, where she worked 20 hours per week. While working, she had to do the academic work the COB requires for an internship, which includes four papers and one ﬁnal presentation about the student’s experiences. “The papers were so broad and overwhelming,” Sell said. “There is an inconsistency with what different professors want to see us complete.” Senior James Huber said the papers were to provide an over-arching, thorough analysis of the company or business for which the student worked. He also said

each paper was to be cited with six different business textbooks. “I have never taken six business courses in the same semester, so why do I have to cite six different sources for one paper?” Huber said. “It’s just an extra burden that doesn’t need to be there.” Sell completed her internship this summer, meaning she had to pay $1,400 for the three credits. With the cost for credits, rent and transportation over the summer, Sell said she barely broke even with what she earned from her internship. “I wish they could have deferred the billing until the fall when my scholarship

could have helped,” Sell said, “but they don’t allow that.” Finance professor Bill Templeton serves as associate dean of careers and undergraduate programs and works with students on their internships. He says students take summer internships even though tuition would most likely cover the cost for credits during the academic year. “Name another course where you don’t pay tuition,” Templeton said. However, several students believe it is unrealistic for the COB to expect students to maintain good grades and stay involved see PROGRAM page 4

CENTER FOR URBAN ECOLOGY

Center receives $2.9 million grant National Science Foundation picks Butler’s CUE out of 400 applicants COLIN LIKAS CLIKAS@BUTLER.EDU EDITOR IN CHIEF

Butler University’s Center for Urban Ecology will make big strides along some of Indianapolis’ waterways. CUE received a $2.9-million grant from the National Science Foundation, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported Monday. The four-year grant will be used to create a unique “science museum,” said Tim Carter, CUE director, in an interview with IBJ. Carter did not respond to The Collegian’s request for comment. Butler will use the funds to create sites at locations along six Indianapolis waterways. At these sites, Butler students and faculty will

analyze scientiﬁc ideas through such activities as dance, music and poetry. “The main thing our program is trying to do is have the projects we fund not only do good things for their communities in science and education, but also in some way advance key ideas in how people learn science in out-of-school settings,” said Al DeSena, Directorate for Education and Human Resources program director at the National Science Foundation. CUE’s grant proposal was considered by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources division. DeSena said the division received more than 400 proposals in its current round of funding. “The whole notion of waterways, urban ecology and sustainable development was a considerable topic for the 21st century,” DeSena said. The decision was made

Impact panel calls to end rape culture NATALIE SMITH NMSMITH1@BUTLER.EDU

STAFF REPORTER

Members from all sororities on campus, women’s self-defense students and other female students sat in Clowes Memorial Hall this past Monday for “Searching for Light: A Panel for Women.” This panel met to talk about a taboo topic: rape. The panel spoke to women about rape culture, recovery and cases in court. The panelists included Laura Smith, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department sex crimes detective; Megan Brown , forensic nurse at The Center of Hope; and Brittany Broderick, a 22-year-old rape survivor. The presentation began as Broderick told her chilling story. She explained, choking back tears, about her experience with “a man who pretended to be a good Samaritan, but was a monster.” On the night of the attack, Broderick was stranded at a Shell gas station at 38th street and Capitol near Butler’s campus due to a flat tire. Broderick was approached by a man who asked for a ride in exchange for fixing her tire. He then began to beat and rape her in her car. Despite her tears, Broderick delivered her story and encouraged other survivors to speak up. After Broderick finished her presentation, Megan Brown, forensic nurse at

the Center for Hope at St. Vincent Hospital, described what the Center for Hope does for women who have been sexually assaulted. Brown encouraged victims to come seek medical attention immediately, even if they don’t plan on pressing charges. “The longer you wait, the less evidence you have,” Brown said. Brown said the center puts every decision in the victim’s hands. “The victims had their power taken away from them,” Brown said. “We allow them to have that power back by making their own decisions about their situation.” Last to speak was Laura Smith, a sex crimes investigator with IMPD. Smith used famous sexual assault cases, such as the Penn State and Stubenville, Ohio cases, to demonstrate her two driving points: be a good friend and don’t blame the victim. She pulled up images of girls’ bodies being sexual assaulted or abused and asked the audience if the girl wanted that to happen to her just because she dressed a certain way, or deserved it because she was too drunk. Smith shocked the audience with a graphic image of a woman who was passed out drunk and left by a friend in a car in Broad Ripple. The photo is what the friend came back and saw: her friend completely naked with semen all over her legs, still passed out. Smith encouraged the

audience to remember that friends come before “the frat brother that you like who will stop liking you if you help to report his buddy.” A main theme of the presentation was a call to end blaming the victim. “As women, I feel that we have to deal with stereotypes that it’s our fault if we’re raped,” freshman attendee Hannah Mentjes said. “As a society, we need to get rid of the stigma around rape and talk about it freely.” Mentjes is a student in the Rape Aggression Defense course at Butler, which teaches self defense against physical attacks. “Teaching women self defense helps them to empower themselves,” R.A.D. instructor Anthony Rivera said. “They get to know what they are capable of as a person.” Sarah Barnes Diaz , Butler health programs education and outreach coordinator, shared information about resources on campus in the Health and Counseling Center. Barnes Diaz serves as a 24-hour victim’s advocate and can be reached by students at all hours of the day. Barnes Diaz also encouraged students to seek university help if their friends reveal that they were a victim of sexual violence. “Just be a good friend,” Smith repeated during the presentation. “If you go out together, go back together. You may be able to tell yourself that your friend wanted that guy in the bar,”

Butler University’s Assessment and Care Team is one of many Behavioral Intervention Teams formed on college campuses around America following the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings. The goal of ACT and other BITs is to identify disengaged students who could potentially be dealing with issues ranging from homesickness, to mental health issues, to academic problems. The team tries to direct students to the appropriate resources. The ACT consists of representatives from different colleges, the Learning Resource Center, Butler University Police Department, the Health and Counseling center, Residence Life, health services and others. Sally Click, dean of student services, coordinates the committee. “There’s a continuum, some of them on one end are really looking at threat assessment, then on the other end is the success and retention,” Click said. “We’re on that end.”

Public campuses in states such as Virginia and Illinois are required to have BITs by law. Butler has one by choice and chooses to focus on the well-being and retention of students, Click said. “The lesson in all campus violence is you can never predict who is going to act out and be violent,” Click said. The team typically meets every other Monday to discuss possible concerns on campus. The most common concern is with students who are disengaged from classes and activities, Click said. “Sometimes what we’re doing is connecting the dots, and trying to put pieces together,” she said. Interventions are usually kept to the lowest level, sometimes using support systems already in place, such as the student’s Greek house or residence hall staff, Click said. Health records from the Counseling Center and health and student disability service records are not generally shared unless there is an immediate health or safety issue, Click said. Students and concerned

faculty can also submit issues to the ACT through an online form on the Community of Care website or by emailing Click. There is an option for submissions to remain anonymous. Alex Correa, a sophomore, was unaware that the ACT existed, but he is aware of the variety of services offered to support students on campus. “[The ACT] is something that might go under-utilized but it’s deﬁnitely a good idea and could be crucial to those that do need it,” he said. “There are tons of resources available that a lot of students don’t know about.” As BUPD’s representative on the ACT, Andy Ryan informs the BUPD staff of students who could be a concern based on what other committee members report. For example, if a student was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, Ryan would share it with the group in case of future academic or behavioral issues. “We want to keep them on the radar,” Ryan said. “Obviously we want students to return, but we also want to help them if they need help.”

FACULTY SENATE

Tensions rise in latest meeting RYAN LOVELACE RLOVELAC@BUTLER.EDU

The Faculty Senate did not display any MANAGING EDITOR proposed suggestion for changes made to the tuition remission and exchange programs at Tuesday’s meeting, but that did nothing to silence concerns. Darin Ramsey, Faculty Affairs Committee chair, said his committee hopes to bring forward a proposal later this year to address the Board of Trustees’ recommendations provided to the faculty last spring. “We wanted to have a formal recommendation to the Board of Trustees to recommend by the September meeting, but we didn’t want to rush,” Ramsey said. But some faculty members remained concerned that any changes could harm the faculty. Vivian Deno, professor of history and faculty senator for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said she wondered whether the proposed changes in beneﬁts signaled that

Butler was on “a race to the bottom.” Deno said she had deduced that the starting salary of an administrative assistant in LAS is about $21,000. “And we would begrudge them this benefit. Shame on us,” Deno said. “You tell the board that I said that; shame on them. It’s disgusting.” Faculty Senate president Margaret Brabant responded to Deno’s concerns quickly. “I want to say the reason why this policy has not gone through is because the faculty said ‘no,’” Brabant said. “It’s not as though we have been silent and disempowered here. We have said no. I want that in the record.” Brabant started the meeting by marking the anniversary of former Butler University Police Department officer James Davis’ death nine years ago. Brabant said Butler is still providing Davis’ children the opportunity to receive tuition remission and exchange benefits, as was promised at the time of his death.

BUPD detective solves cases between classes Detective Bruce Allee studies crime and history at Butler University ALEXANDRA BODE ABODE@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

Butler University Police Department’s detective knows what it’s like to be a college student—because he is one. Detective Bruce Allee decided last year to continue his college career by working toward a master’s degree in history at Butler. From the start, Allee was destined to work at Butler University. In 2010, while working as a security guard at Conseco Fieldhouse -- now Banker’s Life Fieldhouse -- Allee received the opportunity to sit on the Butler bench during a March Madness playoff game. “They asked all the ofﬁcers which bench they wanted, and no one wanted Butler so I said I would do it,” Allee said. Little did Allee know, he would be working for BUPD shortly after. WABASH GRAD TO JUNIOR HIGH TEACHER TO SEX CRIMES COP Allee’s story starts 60 miles west of Indianapolis, in Turkey Run, Ind., where he grew up. He attended college at Wabash University, where he graduated with a political science major and a history minor. His original plan was to attend law school, but after thinking long and hard Allee said, “The drive was not there.” For a while after graduation, he spent his time teaching and coaching junior high students on the west side of Indianapolis. Allee was ready to attain his teaching certiﬁcate when he decided to start working as a

street officer for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department in 1987. As a street officer, “every day was a new day,” Allee said. After working for a while on the streets, he began working in the sex crimes department. Allee said the stress of the job was worth the payoff when he helped get three middle-aged men put away for their actions in repeated, violent sex crimes. “You can put up with that stress knowing you get that kind of reward,” Allee said. Bill Weber, Assistant Chief of Police Operations at BUPD, said BUPD pays off tremendously from Allee’s experience in sex crimes. “That’s good for us, because with a sensitive investigation, you want someone who knows what they are doing,” Weber said. After three and a half years in sex crimes, Allee went back on the streets to “take the stress off.” He then served as a training officer for eight years. Allee said he liked getting to know the new officers as well as passing on what he had learned throughout his career thus far.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES AT BUTLER Two and a half years ago, BUPD Chief Ben Hunter was looking to hire two new ofﬁcers. Allee and Weber applied around the same time and were both hired. Shortly after Allee started his job as BUPD detective, Hunter said he needed someone to accompany former Butler President Bobby Fong, Mrs. Fong, Blue II, Blue’s handler

Michael Kaltenmark and his wife Tiffany Kaltenmark to the Final Four game in Houston, Texas. Allee was presented with the opportunity. “I had a blast, except for the ﬁnal game,” Allee said. “It was a nightmare that the players couldn’t wake up from.” After attending two March Madness games, Allee said if the Bulldogs ever make it to the Final Four again, he will not be on the bench. “I am not a superstitious guy, but when you’re 0 for 2, it is time for someone else to go,” Allee said. A FELLOW STUDENT While not completing his duties as detective, Allee spends his time on campus in the classroom. “At this point, I do not know where this will be applicable in my life, but it seems wasteful not to take advantage of what’s offered here,” Allee said. Alle is working toward a master’s degree in history. While taking classes, he has been able to learn about new technology in the classroom. Also, Allee said taking classes has helped h i m form

positive connections with students. “Before getting in the classroom, most of my contact with students was because of what they did, usually on the negative side,” Allee said. Unlike a typical student, Allee has to juggle his classes with his job at BUPD and raising a family. “[Associte history professor] Deno, in particular, is kicking my butt,” Allee said. History professor John Cornell taught Allee’s 20th-century Europe class last year and said Allee’s experiences benefitted the class overall. “Bruce brought a level of reflection to the class because, some of the things we worked on, he had lived through,” Cornell said. “With readings over Cold War and the collapse of the Berlin Wall, Bruce was constantly testing the readings with his own experiences and memories of the events.” Allee said he, as well as the other officers that make up BUPD, chose to work at Butler because they love the campus. When he entered campus law enforcement, Allee said he had to change his approach as it differs greatly from regular law enforcement. “The kids here are smart, wellinformed, and will challenge you if they don’t think you are doing your job right,” Allee said. “They keep us sharp.” As he has worked at Butler for a few years, it was difficult for Allee to choose a favorite memory here. After much consideration, though he was able to pick one. “My favorite memory here at Butler was getting to meet Desmond Tutu and help get him where he needed to be,” Allee said. “It was a very cool experience.”

Butler celebrates Fall Peace Festival

KATIE GOODRICH

KMGOODRI@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

Students and faculty from Butler University’s peace and conﬂicts studies program unveiled a new peace pole in a ceremony outside Starbucks last Friday. Students and faculty from the program revealed they had been planning the project for more than a semester. The Fall Peace Festival included Hebrew, Catholic and Islamic prayers for peace, as well as traditional Syrian music. Butler President James Danko, Provost Kathryn Morris and Dean Jay Howard of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as various students and faculty attended the ceremony. Previously, a peace pole stood outside Robertson Hall near Star Fountain. “We found that the peace pole was missing,” said Kelly Hamman, a Butler graduate. “It was totally gone.”

Hamman and other students approached Craig Auchter, director of the program, about getting a new peace pole on campus. Auchter and a group of students dove into planning for a new peace pole in spring 2013 after he returned from sabbatical. “We worked together, but the students had a very key role,” Auchter said. “It was the students who reached out to R.E.A.C.H. because we weren’t sure how we were going to pay for it.” R.E.A.C.H. offered to fund the $1,500 pole that displays the phrase “May peace prevail on Earth” in 16 different languages. The various languages were chosen to represent languages from all the continents on Earth, including major world languages, indigenous languages and sign language. The pole stands in the courtyard outside Atherton Union by the entrance to Starbucks. With the large amount

of people passing by every day, the planning group said it felt this location would encourage the most people to think about peace. The pole represents a silent reminder to act peacefully every day. “I think Butler is really at a time when we are ready to go forward with our efforts towards peace, studying peace, understanding peace and doing peace, working for peace,” Auchter said. At the event, people were asked to think about their own deﬁnition of peace. Several people shared the message “May peace prevail on Earth” in different languages. Audience members took the microphone and shared what they thought about peace. “We must not be the same in order to be together,” senior Needa Malik said. “Peace comes in many parts: peace of mind, peace of heart, peace of body, peace of soul--which sometimes can only result from that last piece of cake.”

Williams said candidates will be brought to campus to interview throughout January, February and March, which is why he chose now to announce his resignation—to give the university time to ﬁnd a replacement. A plan and set of goals for the next several years are already in place, according to Williams. “I think we’re dead on in terms of our mission, but the challenge is that business changes,” Williams said. “The ways in which we fulﬁll that mission will change and evolve. “For example, social marketing 10 years ago, there was no such thing. Now there is. We are having to adapt just like everybody else.” When asked what she wants to see

on campus while completing 300 hours for an internship and several academic papers for credit. “That’s a choice,” Templeton said. “You have three regular semesters to get internships in. We don’t require students to do one over the summer.” In the COB, students must wait until they are juniors to complete an internship. Sell said the criteria for the papers require students to list their career goals. Because of that, she said she believes the grades need to be pass or fail, not letter grades.

out of the new dean, junior marketing major Kristen Pilarski said she would like to see the COB expand its network of connections. “The College of Business needs to branch out and connect with more internship opportunities and businesses outside of Indianapolis, in other cities, to give students more options,” Pilarski said. Mazzarella said even with the COB’s recent success, the new dean needs to work on Butler’s name recognition. “We need someone who continues to promote the College of Business brand, which has a strong presence in Indianapolis, and it’s starting to gain prowess throughout the Midwest,” Mazzarella said. “I think it needs to get stronger name recognition in, say, Chicago.” “I want them to get a great dean who is going to continue the success that I hope we built on during my time as dean,” Williams said. “There are just so many more opportunities to fulﬁll the college’s vision of becoming Indianapolis’ worldclass business school, things that we haven’t imagined yet.”

Templeton said he has heard these concerns from the students and is open to hearing more, but he believes the current system deserves its high ranking. “Just because some students aren’t happy does not mean most students feel the same,” Templeton said. “Their views do not reﬂect the majority.” Huber said his concerns are shared with multiple people with the same problem, but those in charge do not pay attention. “My concerns have been listened to and agreed upon by people who cannot make a change,” Huber said. “But when it comes to the head of the program, he hears them but does not

TEMPLETON listen.” Sell said she has little doubt she will beneﬁt from her experience, but believes there are plenty of areas where the college can better focus on the students. “What they do is more for the rankings,” Sell said. “They need to step back and look at the students.”

SCRAMBLING FOR SEATS AUSTIN MONTEITH AMONTEIT@BUTLER.EDU SPORTS EDITOR

Butler men’s basketball season ticket holders will go through a different process to select their seats this season. The new “Select-A-Seat” program begins Monday and runs through Friday, Oct. 4. Season ticket holders will be assigned a date and time to arrive at Hinkle Fieldhouse to choose their seats for the 2013-2014 season next week. The number of Priority Points per seat determines the date and time fans choose their seats. Fans will have a 10-minute period to select their seats once they reach their assigned time. Priority Points are determined by the number of seasons a fan has been a season ticket holder, the amount of money they have donated to the athletics department in the past ﬁve years and how much they have donated within the last year. Fans will meet with an athletics department employee in the main concourse of the ﬁeldhouse. Maps of each section will be laid out for fans to make their selection, and employees will cross out seats as they are reserved. Fans may take as much time in their 10-minute period as they like to select

seats. However, more groups of fans will continue to show up every 10 minutes to select their seats. No more than 10 fans will select seats for every 10-minute period. “We felt like it would provide more customer service and be more transparent with our season ticket base in terms of how the seats are allocated and what locations people get into,” said Mike Freeman, associate athletic director for external operations. Other schools use the same system of selecting seats for their season ticket holders. Athletic department ofﬁcials used the University of Kansas as a model for implementing the new system. Matt Harris, manager of fan development and tickets, visited Kansas’ campus in August with Kyle Smith, assistant director of the Bulldog Club, and Freeman to observe how the school operated its selecta-seat event. “We watched how they did it as far as the logistics of it,” Harris said. “How many fans came during a certain timeframe when it’s their time, how long of a window they have, how many fans in each window, did they go to the arena to pick seats or did they look at seating charts.” Harris said the process will take place again next season. It is unknown if a

selection process will occur after 2014. “Beyond that I don’t know,” Harris said. “I don’t know how we’ll do it. (It) probably just depends on how successful this is and if we see tweaks that are necessary.” Season ticket holders have mixed reactions to the new selection process. Darlene Waddell, the department secretary for the College of Education, and her husband have been season ticket holders since 1979. She said she is not concerned about the new selection process and understands why it was put in place. “I think it is something that, if you’re a basketball fan and you know how other programs work, you knew that this was coming for Butler and the kind of growth that we’ve had with our basketball team being so successful,” Waddell said. Waddell and her husband have four seats under their names, while her two sons have seats under their own names. Because her sons do not have as many priority points as her husband does, the possibility exists that they might be split up this season. Waddell said she hopes her sons are able to sit with the rest of her family. “But if not, it’s one of two things,” Waddell said. “Either you have to give more money to secure those seats, or you just have to be happy with what you are able to get.”

Concussions impact variety of athletes BEN SIECK BSIECK@BUTLER.EDU ASST. SPORTS EDITOR Concussions are a hot-button topic in the sports world, and even the hint or risk of one occurring is cause for immediate concern from coaches, trainers, parents, fans and athletes. Butler’s athletic programs are no different. Concussions remain at the forefront of trainers’ and coaches’ minds during any Butler athletic event. “We’re always keeping an eye on the field or the court for somebody, if they get hit in the head, or if they get hit in a way that causes their head to snap back,” head athletic trainer Ryan Galloy said. “That can cause a concussion too.” Galloy said the fall sports season always comes with a larger threat for concussions because of football, but athletes in sports like soccer and basketball experience their fair share of concussions too. “(With soccer) I think most concussions happen from headto-head contact,” said Paul Snape, Butler’s men’s soccer coach. “But I’ve seen it where a player is struck by the ball at close range, or legs and feet get tangled up and someone gets a kick to the head.” Galloy said concussions can fluctuate in numbers from year to year, but patterns do develop. “Its tough to put a concrete number on how often we see concussions,” Galloy said. “I can’t really say how often we get ankle sprains, but we certainly get more (concussions) in the fall because of football season.” “We get a few here and there because of basketball or soccer. There’s obviously less in the spring season, but at the same time, those other teams are going all year long.” After a head injury is identified,

A headache was part of the game. Now it’s critical that guys are honest with themselves and with the training staff. JEFF VORIS BUTLER FOOTBALL COACH Galloy and the rest of the athletic training staff work quickly to make sure the injury isn’t something worse than a concussion. “When you see people doing tests on a player on the sideline, people get confused and think we’re doing concussion testing,” Galloy said. “We already have an idea they have a concussion. We’re checking to make sure they don’t have a hemorrhage or a bleed in the brain. “If they can’t complete any of the tests we’re doing then we say, ‘You need to go to the hospital.’” Galloy said he hasn’t dealt with anything that signiﬁcant while at Butler, but that’s partially due to luck. Those injuries can happen at a moment’s notice, and the medical staff has to be prepared, Galloy said. If an athlete doesn’t show signs of signiﬁcant brain trauma, the medical staff will check to see if the athlete has symptoms of a concussion. Galloy said if a player has anything more than a headache— such as dizziness, blurred vision, or memory loss—they know they are likely dealing with a concussion. Once a concussion has been

diagnosed, the athlete undergoes a series of treatments designed to gradually progress them back to health. The ﬁrst treatment step for an athlete who suffers a concussion is rest. “As long as they have any symptoms—and, typically, the last symptom to go away is a headache—they’re on full rest,” Galloy said. Butler student-athletes take an impact test at the beginning of their respective seasons to determine their cognitive baseline levels. Once a concussed athlete is symptom-free, he or she must take the impact test again to determine if he or she has is back at that baseline level. Athletes must pass this test before they can continue with their recovery. Depending on how the athlete responds to rest, the athlete might have to miss class or avoid any type of brain activity that causes strain. Once the athlete is symptom free, he or she must wait a minimum of 24 hours before being cleared to resume athletic activity. Depending on the length and severity of symptoms, as well as the player’s medical history, Galloy said the medical staff might hold the athlete out even longer. Once the athlete is cleared to resume activity, he or she must be able to raise his or her heart rate without feeling symptoms return. If symptoms do return at any point, then team physicians will make the athlete rest some more and repeat the heart rate test after they determine the athlete is ready to do so. Even after an athlete has completed the recovery process, he or she is eased back into the sport. Galloy said athletes should practice before jumping back into a

Football players are the most at-risk of any Butler athletes to sustain concussions, but soccer and basketball players are also susceptible to concussions. game situation. Concussion perception has changed signiﬁcantly over the years. Jeff Voris, Butler’s football coach, played quarterback at DePauw University in the 1980s and said that, while he didn’t suffer a concussion himself, players who did were treated differently than they are treated now. “A headache was part of the game. Now it’s critical that guys are honest with themselves and with the training staff,” Voris said. “When I was playing, people would

cover that up. But now players are educated about the importance of concussion treatment.” To Galloy, the biggest thing he asks of athletes is for them to be accountable for one another. “We emphasize being a good teammate,” Galloy said. “If you have a teammate that you see doesn’t look right or is struggling, we want teammates to say to us, ‘So-and-so doesn’t look right, (and) you might want to check him out.’ That way we can identify a concussion before it becomes something worse.”

Bulldogs come up short STAFF REPORTER

The Butler football team is 2-2 going into Pioneer Football League play after losing to Dartmouth, 30-23 last weekend. Butler will travel to Jacksonville University this Saturday for the PFL opener. Butler’s defense struggled in all four non-conference games, giving up an average of 460.75 yards per game. The Bulldogs gave up 497 total yards to Dartmouth. Butler allowed 259 passing yards and 238 rushing yards. The Bulldogs struggled in the ﬁrst half against Dartmouth. The Big Green scored on three of six possessions. Butler only scored on two out of six possessions.

At halftime the Bulldogs were down 21-10, but they came back strong in the second half to only lose by seven. “We learned that we have to continue to push toward playing 60 minutes,” coach Jeff Voris said. “We didn’t start well enough. We played with great effort and passion as the game went on, but we have to kick it off that way.” The Bulldogs brought pressure to Dartmouth sophomore quarterback Dalyn Williams, but he was still able to break out and run. Williams threw for 228 yards and rushed for 119 yards. “He’s a great player, ﬁrst and foremost,” Voris said. “They have a great scheme, but he made some plays on his own that made some

The team placed seventh out of eight teams with a score of 161. Junior Erica Carlson led Butler to the finish line, finishing the 5-kilometer race in 19:26 and placing 25th overall. The race was Carlson’s first of the season after suffering two stress fractures during track season in the spring. “I just followed the plan that coach (Matt Roe) gave me, and I thought it went pretty well.” Carlson said. Host Indiana University finished first with a score of

Butler will compete in the Roy Griak Invitational, which will provide the veterans a chance to face a high level of competition. This will be the first race of the season for All-American senior Katie Clark. Roe said he is optimistic about his team’s chances. “If we make good decisions in the race and we’re positive, we are going to perform at a very high level,” Roe said. “The key will be to make sure that everybody does their job and doesn’t try to reach outside themselves because it is the first meet [for the first squad].” -Matthew VanTryon

Freshmen in the fold BRENDAN KING BAKING@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

When you think of team leaders of a Division I men’s soccer team, usually, you would think of an upperclassman being the star player. For Butler’s squad, two freshmen have taken the spotlight . David Goldsmith and Anthony Smith, Jr. -- two newcomers who grew up more than 4,000 miles away from each other -- are teaming up to be a big part of the Butler men’s soccer team’s success so far this season. Smith is a 5’11” forward from Country Club Hills, Ill. He ﬁrst received increased attention on the team after Butler’s upset of Louisville. The Cardinals were ranked No. 7 nationally at the time, and Butler was a heavy underdog on paper. Smith scored the only goal in the game. Coach Paul Snape had his eye on Smith for a while. He knew what he saw out of the Marian Catholic High School star during the recruiting process. “What he brings is electrifying pace, anticipation,” Snape said. “He has a nose for the goal. I actually think he can score quite a few more because he gets himself in dangerous positions.” Goldsmith played for West Bromwich Albion FC in England for ﬁve years, and then for the Nike Academy last year before coming to the U.S. “He’s a goal scorer,” Snape said. “At the end of the day, the team that scores more wins, and right now, David is a very important piece of helping us win games.”

With big home games against Indiana University and Creighton coming up for the Bulldogs, Snape said Goldsmith and Smith will have to be key contributors in order to pick up wins. “What we’re going to stress is to do the simple things extremely well,” Snape said. “We all love to score goals, but what they can do is to make sure their work ethic is at a real high level. If you do things real well, good things can happen.” Goldsmith said it was tough to adjust to his new home. “The ﬁrst couple of weeks were pretty tough,” Goldsmith said. “The biggest thing for me was the weather. It was a lot hotter than I am used to, so jumping straight into the matches was tough.” The weather was not the only factor that challenged Goldsmith while playing soccer in America. “The pitch is a bit different,” Goldsmith said. “We play on turf, and I am used to grass. The ball bounces differently, so it took a couple of weeks to get used to it.” Both Goldsmith and Smith adjusted to their new playing environments well. Both already have large roles on the team. Goldsmith starts and plays most, if not the whole match, while Smith comes off the bench when the team needs energy. Snape said he had a feeling throughout the entire recruiting process these two were special players. “I think what we have is a team around them that has been mature,” Snape said. “If David and Anthony had come two years ago, I don’t think they would have had as big of an impact. The older players

are really teaching them the ways of Butler and college soccer.” When Goldsmith was choosing Butler, he said he knew something felt right. He and Snape are both from England. Goldsmith said that fact played a role in his decision to come to Butler. “It had a massive play, to be fair,” Goldsmith said. “When we were speaking on the phone, he knew exactly what I was going through. He knew the opportunities that I would have here and the ones that I would have back in England. I trusted him quite a lot. And that is why I came here.” Goldsmith said it was a moment like no other when he put on Butler blue for the first time. “The first time I put on the uniform, it was a pretty proud moment,” Goldsmith said. “Just to see the logo and see everyone around campus wearing the logo was great. So to play for them is quite nice.” Snape stresses teamwork, And the two freshmen get that. “Goldie and A.R. will be the first ones to say that they are nothing without their teammates, and their teammates applaud them when they put the ball in the back of the net,” Snape said. As the team enters the grind of the conference season, the competition will become more challenging. Smith and Goldsmith are both ready for it. “Winning the Big East Player of the Week award was great,” Goldsmith said. “It’s always nice to get recognitions like that, but it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t win anything at the end of the season.”

The Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns executed the biggest NFL trade in recent memory last week, sending Browns’ secondyear running back Trent Richardson to the Colts for a 2014 first-round draft pick. Indianapolis fans celebrated the move as a looting of the Browns. Visions of Edgerrin James danced through their heads last Wednesday evening, while an audible groan could be heard to the east as Cleveland fans lamented the prospect of another season destined to produce a top-five draft pick. Adding Richardson should give a boost to the Colts’ run game, but he may not be that much of an upgrade over current Colts’ starter Ahmad Bradshaw. Bradshaw ranked in the top 10 in multiple analytical statistic categories used by FootballOutsiders.com to rate running backs last season, while Richardson ranked towards the bottom of the league in those same categories. So far this season the trend has continued. Bradshaw checks in just inside the top 10 backs, while Richardson ranks in the mid-20s. Richardson only ran for 3.6 yards per carry last season, putting him at 40th in the league. He was nicked up for much of the year, but has been healthy so far this season and has only averaged 3.2 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Bradshaw ran for 4.6 yards per carry behind a good Giants offensive line, which was good for 11th in the NFL last season. Richardson is still an explosive runner and a workhorse back who scouts loved enough to warrant a third overall selection in last year’s draft. He is also only 22 years old with plenty of time to develop into the star the Browns thought they had when they drafted him. Cleveland was a below-average run-blocking team in 2012, and have been about average in 2013. The Colts rank near the top of the league through two games this season, despite finishing near the bottom of the league last year, according to FootballOutsiders. However, it remains to be seen if the Colts’ offensive line can keep up the stellar play all season after allowing a league-high 58 sacks last season. Bradshaw could be benefitting from running behind a good line, but the separation between him and Richardson is a lot closer than most Colts fans might think. Although he scored on his first carry in a Colts’ uniform, Richardson was pedestrian against a staunch 49ers defense. Richardson rushed 13 times for 35 yards and

one touchdown, while Bradshaw was the star of the game, rushing 19 times for 95 yards and a touchdown. It will be interesting to see how head coach Chuck Pagano and the rest of his staff decide to split the carries between the two backs. Colts fans may see more of Richardson in the coming weeks under pressure from ownership even if Bradshaw outperforms him. Browns fans might not want to hear it, but losing Trent Richardson could be the right move for a team destined to finish below .500 with or without him in the backfield. For the Browns, it’s safe to say even before they traded Richardson, they weren’t winning the Super Bowl this year. Certainly not with Brandon Weeden, Brian Hoyer or Jason Campbell playing quarterback. The league as a whole is becoming more and more quarterback-centric with less emphasis on running the football. Over the last six seasons, 11 of the top 15 most single-season pass attempts have occurred. Having a stud running back certainly helps, but Willie Parker, James Starks and Pierre Thomas have all started for Super Bowl champions in the past five years. Instead of being mediocre this year, the Browns opted to enter the Jadeveon Clowney and Teddy Bridgewater sweepstakes, stockpiling future draft picks in the process. Getting a first-round pick in exchange for a running back is practically unheard of in recent years. As Justin Higdon pointed out on DraftBrowns.com, Ricky Williams was the last running back to fetch a first-round pick in a trade, and that was in 2002. This trade will certainly go down as one of the most polarizing in recent history, and both teams should be excited about the future. Browns fans know they’ll have to wait until after the 2014 draft to see the benefits of the trade, but this is nothing new to a Cleveland sports fan. Colts fans, on the other hand, are excited about the immediate future. However, it’s unclear how long Indianapolis will have to wait until Richardson matures into the star he was pegged to be coming out of Alabama.

Rowing team to begin season on Oct. 12 KYLE BEERY KBEERY@BUTLER.EDU ASST. SPORTS EDITOR The Butler rowing team is preparing for its ﬁrst meet of the season at the Speakmon Regatta in Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 12. The team came back on campus in fall of 2011 after a several- year hiatus. Senior Mike Rozzo and 2012 graduate Luke Crimmins, helped reestablish the club, though they’re not sure exactly how long the club’s hiatus was. “Neither of us had any experience rowing or even knew that much about it,” Rozzo said. “We met a Butler administrator who had rowed at Purdue and was the coach of the old club team. He seemed pretty interested in it, and we were interested in trying it out.” This fall, the team has approximately 30 members and competes at the men’s, women’s and novice (mixed) levels. The team is ofﬁcially a student organization, not a club sport. Sophomore Morgan Blake, a

member of the team’s fundraising board, said the club depends on a lot of fundraising to stay aﬂoat. One of its biggest fundraising efforts is “Rent-A-Rower,” Blake said. With “Rent-A-Rower,” community members can hire members of the rowing team to do chores and services around the Indianapolis area. All the money received through this program goes directly to the team’s account. Team members also pay yearly dues to the club that help fund the program. Club president Izzie Rosich said rowing is a fairly expensive sport, but the team is doing well ﬁnancially. “We have enough for what we’re doing, but compared to other schools, we have a small budget,” Rosich said. “But for us to have that status as an organization, not even a club sport, we’re pretty set.” Blake said there are a few members of the team who rowed before college, but the vast majority of them picked it up after coming to Butler.

“I’ve only been rowing for about a year,” Blake said. “I heard about it from friends in high school and saw the club’s table at Block Party, and I signed up from there. [Rowing] is my absolute favorite thing. My best friends are on the rowing team.” Rosich also joined after coming to college. “I started right when it came back on campus,” Rosich said. “I just wanted to try it because I knew I wouldn’t be the only one doing it for the ﬁrst time. I thought it would be fun, and I fell in love with it.” The team practices off campus at Eagle Creek Park, as there is nowhere to do so at Butler. Between driving to and from practice and being on the lake and at meets, Rozzo said the team is pretty close, “We almost spend more time together each week than we do at class,” Rozzo said. “It’s a great time, though.” Last year, the team had many races cancelled due to weather, but did take home ﬁrst and second

The Speakmon Regatta was a success for the Bulldogs the last time they were there in 2011. Both the men’s and women’s squads took home ﬁrst place.

Rozzo said the team hopes to have the same success at the Speakmon Regatta it has had in the past. “I think we’re deﬁnitely prepared,” Rozzo said. “We have a pretty good tradition of being able to compete with some pretty bigname teams.”

Not your mother's portraits

“Tagging”—the art of graffiti—has only recently found its way into the world of accepted art forms. Existing in the nebulous region between self-expression and public desecration, the idea is still quite controversial. Despite this, exhibitions of graffiti art have sprung up in established and venerated artistic venues from Los Angeles to New York City and abroad. Now, tagging has come to Clowes Memorial Hall as the opening exhibition of the new series “Clowes Conversations.” This ongoing series includes a variety of artists—both visual and performing—discussing their field or their own work specifically to offer a new perspective on the arts to the community. Samuel E. Vázquez was the first speaker in the series, talking on Sept. 17 about the art and history of tagging. The talk coincided with his current exhibition in the Clowes gallery space. Vázquez uses graffiti-inspired techniques to make abstract and expressionist pieces. James Cramer, Clowes’ community relations manager, said it was a successful first conversation. “Even I had a different perspective of the artwork before and after his talk,” Cramer said. Alyssa Dyke, a Jordan College of the Arts sophomore, said Vázquez’s art may not be everyone’s favorite. “I think the juxtaposition of showing what is now the modern art of tagging in the historic Clowes Memorial Hall provides an interesting setting that some people just might not be able to understand,” Dyke said.

As Dyke assumed, not everyone thought Vázquez’s work was noteworthy. “It is not art,” freshman Ben Sharp said. “I like looking at the tagging, but it seems more like overanalyzed calligraphy.” Vázquez’s work will remain on show in Clowes until Oct. 1. The debut of Clowes Conversations coincides with the 50th anniversary of Clowes Hall’s opening. Cramer said other departments have similar interactive discussions, and it was time for Clowes to host such an event. “It was really only a matter of time before we got this rolling,” Cramer said. “Having it on the 50th anniversary of the hall is just great timing.” On occasion, Clowes had artists come to lecture in the past, but they were isolated and not part of a series. The lineup for upcoming conversations includes Béla Fleck and Brooklyn Rider talking about music composition in November. They will share their commissioned pieces as well as their inspirations. Another future talk, Theatre Radio Play, will discuss the art of combining storytelling, sound effects and music. “This look at various genres is geared to aid the community in thinking in broader and more creative terms,” Cramer said. “It will help people leave their artistic comfort zone and experience new things.” Clowes Conversations is free to the public, but acquiring a free ticket beforehand is encouraged. This opportunity to hear from artists and performers also counts as a cultural requirement credit, fulﬁlling one of eight cultural events students must attend before graduating.

Employees’ right to enter residences should be examined When is it all right for Butler University’s maintenance and housekeeping staff to enter your place of residence on campus? This is a question students might answer differently. The majority of The Collegian staff believes Butler needs to institute a different system for allowing the school’s maintenance workers into residences. When a repair is needed in a room, students can inform the front offices of their respective residences. Those in charge can then send this request for repair to Maintenance or Building Services, depending on the issue. Students can also file a request through Fix My Butler at my.butler. edu. Donald Borden, maintenance system coordinator, said work orders in Maintenance Services are created starting at 7 a.m. each day. When maintenance technicians go to rooms to fulfill orders, Borden said the workers are instructed to knock three separate times, announcing who they are each time. With the third knock, maintenance technicians are permitted to unlock residence doors and enter. This practice is backed up in the Butler Student Handbook, which states, “Rooms also may be entered by authorized University [sic] personnel to complete maintenance and repair work.”

OUR POINT THIS WEEK:

CHANGE SHOULD COME TO THE RESIDENCEENTRY SYSTEM FOR MAINTENANCE AND BUILDING SERVICES | 20-5-8 “We never really go into a space unless there’s a request,” said Gerald Carlson, maintenance services director. “We don’t just go and show up and look around to see what needs to be done.” The same system is followed by Building Services, which deals with housekeeping and furniturerelated requests versus repairs, said Dick Hamm, housekeeping and building services director. The idea that a worker can enter a residence whenever a work order has been ﬁled might be disconcerting to some students. In a room housing multiple students, one person might request a repair and not tell his or her roommates. This can create the uncomfortable situation of other roommates suddenly having a Butler employee knock on their door when they least expect it. Some students may not hear a worker knock—for whatever reason—or they may not be able to actually respond to the worker’s request to enter. When the worker does not realize this and then

enters the room, students may become worried or angered by the intrusion. Not all students will feel comfortable with a stranger— albeit one intending to help them— entering their rooms at a random time of day either. “I think everyone understands if we’re there to repair something it is to their beneﬁt to let us repair it, so they have use of that thing,” Borden said. The idea of a system being instituted that would inform all roommates of an intended repair or change is something both Borden and Hamm said they would support. “I don’t see that hampering our duties or anything like that,” Hamm said. What might be more concerning to students is the idea of a Butler employee entering their residence when no one is there. While Butler more than likely runs extensive background checks on its employees to ensure only the highest quality individuals are

being hired, some students may not like the idea of their personal belongings being exposed to an unknown Butler employee. Both Borden and Hamm said their employees must access keys to student residences through an access-controlled electronic keybox, and the keys are always secure. Butler could try to create a system wherein students and maintenance or housekeeping employees work together to schedule times when the student could be present at the residence for work to be done. When students ﬁll out housing information online each spring, they could simply be offered the option of whether or not they would like to schedule any service

orders that come up. Right now, students only know their requests for repairs or work are typically fulﬁlled within two weeks of the request, according to the Butler Student Handbook. Borden said it would be “fatal” to the maintenance system to try and schedule all work orders around students’ schedules. “Trying to meet up those windows of availability with the student and technician would just be impossible,” Borden said. While Maintenance and Building Services both do their best to consider students’ privacy when working, a better system should be put in place to make sure all Butler students are comfortable in their homes away from home.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Remember fallen BUPD ofﬁcer

Photo courtesy of Marc Allan

Former BUPD ofﬁcer James Davis (pictured left) was killed in the line of duty outside Hinkle Fieldhouse Sept. 24, 2004.

Dear Butler family, Sept. 24, 2013 marks nine years since Butler University Police Officer James Davis gave his life for the Butler community. On Friday, Sept. 24, 2004, Officer Davis responded to Hinkle Fieldhouse to investigate a report of a suspicious individual. When Officer Davis arrived on scene at Hinkle to investigate the situation, a cowardly individual attacked him, shooting and killing this brave officer at the doorstep of Hinkle.

Officer Davis was just 31 years old when he died defending Butler. He was a good man. Officer Davis demanded commitment from himself in total service of others—he was an Army veteran and served our country as a military policeman. Officer Davis denied selfishness in everything he did—he freely gave his free time to volunteer as an instructor with troubled youths. Officer Davis sought improvement every day. At the time of his death, Officer Davis was

working on completing a Butler MBA. And at all times, he put us—his Butler family—above himself. Officer Davis is the Butler Way. Please take a brief moment to pause and thank Officer Davis, the Butler University Police Department and the Davis family. Say a prayer for his wife, and his three children. Officer Davis made the ultimate sacrifice for Butler nine years ago. Please, never forget. Kevin McGinley, Class of 2007

Homecoming more than a Greek affair Homecoming is a holiday that is supposed to unite the entire student body Homecoming week will remain one of my most cherished memories of my time at Butler. The week is full of fun activities that display students’ artistic and creative capacities and promote bonding among different campus groups as well as Butler pride and spirit. So I feel bad for students who believe this week is not for them— that homecoming is strictly a “Greek event.” I’ve heard the complaints in class, at work on campus and in the Starbucks line. Independent students call the week stupid and childish, focused only on Greek houses. If these students truly dislike

homecoming and its events, they should not participate in any events. But any complaints that the week does not welcome independent students are misinformed. Everyone in residence halls— as well as commuters—are paired with Greek houses and are encouraged to participate in all events. These groups also have queen and king candidates who are just as likely to win as any Greek contestant. When students complain these events are only for Greek students, I would like to argue the trend they

While I don’t necessarily disagree with the students who say that homecoming is a Greek-heavy event, I would argue that it isn’t the fault of Greek students nor the homecoming system.

may perceive is a product of their own lacking of participation in homecoming festivities. The idea that homecoming is a Greek event is perpetuated by independent students’ rejection of the event itself. If independent students want a larger role in homecoming, they should actually participate in the week’s events. Junior David Harting is not afﬁliated with a Greek house, but he participated in homecoming activities every year he has been at Butler. “I think there are a lot of opportunities for non-Greek students to get involved, but they rarely take those opportunities,” Harting said. Harting, an RA, has participated in Ross Hall’s campaigning committees every year. Junior Katie Califano said she only met one non-Greek student during her homecoming

The reason homecoming seems to be exclusively Greek oriented is because of the lacking participation of independent students. Rather than just complain, these students could very easily make a change and make homecoming less of a “Greek event” and more of a “Butler event.” Contact News editor Marais Jacon-Duffy at mjacondu@butler.edu.

THE BUTLER COLLEGIAN | PAGE 11

In college, size matters Small schools can provide beneﬁts for students’ comfort and academic success that large schools cannot Small classes, concerned teachers and student-teacher relationships enable academic success. Large schools often have lectures with hundreds of students and use graduate assistants. Both can hinder student learning. As a transfer student from the large Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, I sat in an economics lecture of more than 400 students, had a total of four teacher and graduate assistants during one year, and only four of nine teachers knew my name. Lectures with 200, 400 or more students make individuals feel less like students and more like numbers. So when my new audio production professor at Butler asked how I was doing one day, I realized the true convenience in attending a smaller school. “I think most faculty and students would agree,” said Ian Anderson, recording industry studies professor, “that the primary

advantage of working at a smaller institution would be the smaller class sizes and a small faculty to student ratio.” During the 2012-2013 academic year, Butler had a total undergraduate enrollment of only 4,020 students, according to the “Common Data Set” on Butler’s website. The student to faculty ratio was 11:1. Butler advertises its lack of graduate assistants. The small class and lecture size at Butler allow for more individualized focus and instruction between students and professors. Sophomore Olivia Cox transferred from New York University to Butler in the middle of her freshman year. She was drawn to the school primarily because of the dance program, but also wanted more green space and a less rushed atmosphere. NYU has an undergraduate enrollment of

19,041 and a total of 50,917 students, according to the NYU website’s fast fact page. The school is considered “in and of” the city. The campus is centered in Manhattan. “It was fast paced, so I didn’t have time to sit and talk to professors,” Cox said. “And it was so big that they kind of didn’t have time to talk to you either.” At Miami, the professor would likely never know who a student was. He or she could not offer one-on-one instruction with so many other students to teach as well. “A smaller campus tends to create a tighter community,” Anderson said. “Faculty know their students’ names, their relative strengths and weaknesses and really have more opportunities to individualize learning experiences.” Due to its smaller size, Butler’s professors seem more caring toward students and truly push for academic success. Many professors commit to making themselves highly accessible for students in need of help. At Butler, seeing a professor and student having coffee at Starbucks to discuss coursework is common. Better relationships can form between students and professors since teachers have fewer students to assist. Cox said she felt a sense of disconnection at

Saving money now could save students later

Lack of consistency causes student discontent

For students that are more responsible with money, future struggles can be avoided

Some teachers use different methods and materials to teach the same coursework Back in August, I quickly realized after my first day of classes that math would be more difficult than I had expected. The material covered throughout the year is not what I was anticipating based on the course synopsis. The course is an option for students like me, who aren’t math or science majors, but need a math credit to graduate. I can tell I am not the only one that is lost in this class. Many students look around the room each session noticeably confused. At first, I assumed I was just in a difficult class, one in which many students struggled. This opinion changed once I talked to my peers in other sections of the class. I discovered that students in classes taught by my professor viewed the course as not too hard, but it isn’t easy either. However, those in the classes taught by another professor considered the class to be very easy. These statements are reaffirmed each time I go to the open tutoring sessions. The only students ever present are those taking the course with my professor. Of course, professors are going to teach their courses a little differently. They have academic freedom when it concerns how they teach their pupils, as Bill Templeton, the associate dean at

NYU. She said she did not enjoy sharing her campus with the rest of Manhattan and found walking 15 minutes to her friends’ dorms to be a waste of time. “It feels better to have a separation between school,” Cox said, “where I am supposed to be focused and do work, and having the option to go to Broad Ripple or downtown Indianapolis.” Having too many distractions on campus made Cox feel as if there were a conflict of interest. Since Butler’s campus is smaller and conveniently separate from downtown, Cox said off-campus extracurricular activities are “not always in your face.” “As odd as it might sound,” Anderson said, “I personally find a smaller campus much more relaxing, which helps me be a more effective and productive educator.” Smaller schools provide for an academicfocused atmosphere and a sense of home. With popular Division I sports and Indianapolis nearby, Butler does not lack some of the benefits of attending a big school. Instead, Butler seems to be the perfect combination of the two.

the College of Business, said. “Professors are given a lot of leeway when introducing their content,” Templeton said. However, if the material being explained is only slightly comparable to the other professors’ material, as is the case for this speciﬁc course, that is an issue. “Faculty members are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing the subject of the course,” said Kathryn Morris, provost and vice president of academic affairs, “but (they) should be careful not to introduce into the classroom matter that has no relation to the subject of the course.” My professor chooses to provide the course material through a website. On the site, students can view the lectures, homework and take quizzes. Although easy to access, the website lacks practice problems and answers to examples and tools that would aid students

when learning the material. The other professor uses a textbook written speciﬁcally for this class. Students note this textbook is simple to navigate and provides plenty of examples. Some students have expressed their annoyance. “We are supposed to be learning the same material because we all signed up for the same class,” freshman Meghan Blakey said. Whitney Cleveland, a freshman student who has a different professor, said, “It’s weird because it has the same course name, but it’s a completely different class. They’re teaching two totally different topics.” In this instance, there is no doubt the material introduced is vastly different between the two courses. If two different professors are going to teach the same course, I would suggest they draw their information from the same source, and professors should be required to converse with each other when determining the course load necessary for a class. That way, even if the teaching styles are vastly different, the core material is guaranteed to be identical for every student. Contact columnist Abby Bien at abien@butler.edu.

If you haven’t started thinking about saving money for emergencies or retirement, start now. While I was a student at Indiana University, money was never a big issue for me. I had a monthly stipend from my time in the military to pay my bills. I had good credit. I would work over the summer and save money for school. Sounds like I had it together, right? Wrong. I never really thought my money supply would end. So as many young people do, I learned the hard way. Throwing parties, going to the bars and buying frivolous items for which I had no practical use became a normal routine for me. If I ran out of money, I could just use my credit card to pay for my tabs. Then, something happened; something I knew was coming but never thought would arrive: graduation. No more monthly stipend. No more Pell Grants. No more constant ﬂow of cash to pay off my debt. I didn’t ﬁnd a full-time job for almost three months. What little money I made from part-time work went to pay for credit card debt and gas to get there and back. Needless to say, without a savings account, my debts started to accumulate faster and faster—from my car breaking down, medical bills and other necessities that come along with being an adult. So why am I telling you this? Because I don’t want any of you to make the same mistake I did. I want you to start planning now for the potential hardships you may face once you leave the safety and comfort of a college campus and venture into the real world. In August of this year, Forbes reported “13 ways college students waste money and opportunities.” Not surprisingly, entertainment, beer and spring break were included on that

TONY ESPINAL list. Forbes reported that Social Science Research Council found 51 percent of students spend their time socializing and not studying. So more than half of students are spending money at bars, parties, clubs and on other costly activities. Supporting Forbes’ research, the website Daily Finance reported the average college student spends $500 per year on alcohol. That means the average student pays an additional $2,000 in college just on alcohol. As far a spring break goes, consider this. During my first spring break, I went to Panama City, Fla., where I spent, in one week, what takes me an entire month to make. Many of my friends used student loan refund money to fund their trips. Now they are having to pay that back. In June of this year, CNN Money reported 36 percent of graduates are “mal-employed,” meaning simply under-employed. Graduates are working as bartenders, waiters and retailers making less money than their experience and education should enable them. So imagine owing tens of thousands of dollars to student loans, along with hundreds of dollars to credit cards and bills, all while working as a restaurant waiter, relying on tips. Of course, you should enjoy your time in college. It’s a great experience, and even if you go back to graduate school or for a second bachelor’s, it will never be like your first experience. So go out and enjoy yourself. Live a little. But start thinking about saving some money now, even if it’s only as little as $25 a month. Contact columnist Tony Espinal at tespinal@butler.edu.
