that everyone is thinking progressively about how Butler has to change or adapt to the evolution that’s going on in higher education,” Danko said. “We had to at least have some common understanding about what’s going on out there, and we had to ﬁgure out how to get Butler involved.” Danko encouraged faculty members to start thinking about how to keep Butler on the same paths as schools “we aspire to be.” “What is Stanford doing? Danko asked. “How can we get there?” There are about 20 online courses in some part or another of the creation process. The Melvin Simon gift of $1 million will ensure that there are at least some resources to work with once ideas and plans are developed. “You can’t get people down this path and have them excited about something and then say, ‘Never mind, there are no resources for this,’” Danko said. The $1 million will go into a pool for use later on once ideas and concepts are concrete. The move to the Big East helped pique the interests of companies and other potential donors. “It certainly helped energize a few people,” Danko said. “Suddenly corporations that we had been trying to connect with were taking our appointments.” The move sparked conversation and got

With the weather at Butler University finally warming up, an influx of theft—particularly of bicycles—is occurring. Five bicycles were reported stolen to Butler University Police Department between March 29 and April 3. Most recently, a tire off a bicycle outside Ross Hall was stolen on April 12. BUPD Detective Bruce Allee said despite bicycle theft becoming more common recently, he doesn’t think the number of thefts on campus—of bicycles or other personal items—is much different from the norm. “We’ve had a couple spikes, and that has made it kind of high profile,” Allee said. “On average, I don’t think we’re that much above (where we normally are). We’ve had those clusters of thefts, which have prompted alerts on campus.” In addition to the spur of recent bicycle thefts, Allee said electronics thefts at Gallahue Hall and the Pharmacy Building in February also boosted overall theft figures. As it pertains to bicycles, a majority of the thefts are taking place not near academic buildings but on the north end of campus at Apartment Village and University Terrace. Allee said BUPD is putting more focus on the area, especially at night. He also said he has basic descriptions of those who may be involved, adding that they do not live on campus and are “pretty active thieves throughout the county.” It is important for students who have a bike stolen to know two crucial pieces of information if they hope to have it found. “No serial number (and) no definite timeframe, there’s very little chance of the bike getting recovered,” Allee said. Butler has not been immune to other thefts and types of crimes this spring, however. A moped was reported stolen from a house on Berkley Street on April 10, and pocket change totaling less than $2 was stolen from a car the following day. On April 12, a clarinet was taken from Atherton Union, and on April 14, a purse was snatched

The Facebook and Twitter pages are becoming popular, but university ofﬁcials are not worried MARAIS JACON-DUFFY MJACONDU@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

Social media pages such as Butler Confessions are becoming increasingly popular among Butler University students. The Butler Confessions Facebook page has 737 likes as of press time, and the @ ButlerConfessio Twitter page has 1,291 followers. The pages essentially allow anyone to send in “confessions” to a surveymonkey. com questionnaire. The confessions are then posted anonymously on the page. Posts range from confessions of sexual experiences, or lack thereof, bodily

functions and crushes on Butler students. The creator of the Butler Confessions pages agreed to comment for the story via Facebook message but asked to remain anonymous. The creator of the pages said inspiration for them came from those created at other universities. “After Butler Confessions was created,” creator said, “there were many ‘confessions’ about crushes and admirers, so BU Secret Admirers was created.” Michael Kaltenmark Butler’s director of web marketing communications, said even the very outrageous confessions on the page are not necessarily against university

policy. “The social media guidelines are intended for students, faculty and staff to know how to properly represent the university,” Kaltenmark said. “However, we understand that people have personal accounts and they have a right to free speech and to be their own person.” Kaltenmark said, to his knowledge, only a few social media accounts or pages have ever been found in violation of the social media conduct guidelines to the extent that action was taken. “We try to make sure that what is posted see confessions page 4

Funding Butler’s future JILL MCCARTER JMCCARTE@BUTLER.EDU EDITOR-IN-CHIEF On the heels of multiple million-dollar donations, Butler University President Jim Danko is eager to continue fundraising. He is still in the process of ﬁnalizing a strategic plan for the university, one that “energizes the academic side of Butler,” Danko said. Gifts to the university have helped move the plan along. One of the largest DANKO: Working with parts of the plan outside organizations to is to improve the grow Butler’s funding sciences departments and construct a new science building. The project would cost the university between $40 million and $50 million, and getting that much money is no easy feat. In the fall, the university made a presentation to the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation, asking for $10 million. “We asked for $10 million in one go when usually universities ask for $1 million or so several times,” Danko said. “They were concerned, but our team, especially (Liberal

JIM DANKO UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Arts and Sciences Dean Jay Howard) were able to sell the idea.” The foundation has had a long-standing relationship with Butler and gave the university $10 million. Organizations are more eager to donate to the university these days, Danko said. “People have a fondness for Butler,” Danko said. “They are liking what we’re doing, and they want to invest in our school.” Having a clear vision for the university going into presentations has helped those donors understand what exactly they could be supporting. Just last week, Danko announced another major donation to the university. The Melvin Simon Family Enterprises Trust donated $1 million to help the university in another part of Danko’s vision for the school— incorporating technology in the classroom. “I wanted to ﬁgure out a way to make sure

from a vehicle. Additionally, a laptop and an iPhone were stolen from an off-campus residence on March 17, and a gas-powered blower was stolen from one of Butler’s facilities buildings on March 20. Allee said Butler community members always need to be aware of where their personal belongings are, speciﬁcally electronic devices. “If you wouldn’t leave money lying out, please don’t leave your electronics lying out,” Allee said, “because that’s quick cash for a thief. They have no remorse, (and) they don’t care who it belongs to.” Theft was an issue at Butler early last spring as well. According to the university’s crime logs, 21 thefts of varying nature were reported between March 20 and April 12 last year. Only two of those, however, were listed as bicycle thefts.

URC gives opportunity to present research and gain experience GERRALD VAZQUEZ

GVAZQUEZ@BUTLER.EDU ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The 25th annual Undergraduate Research Conference took place last Friday as college undergraduates from across the Midwest gathered at Butler to present their work. With more than 400 presentations spanning more than 25 disciplines, the conference experienced widespread success. The conference drew hundreds of undergraduates from colleges across the Midwest, attracting students with its non-competitive atmosphere. “Butler has always had an open philosophy,” conference director Mariangela Maguire said. “The purpose is to give students the chance to present their research, rather than to evaluate them before they even have a chance to do that.” Maguire said the conference serves as a stepping stone for many students either pursuing post-graduate education or securing a job in the workplace. “Whether students intend to go right into the workforce, a volunteer opportunity or graduate school,” Maguire said, “being able to say in an interview that you have done something that was difficult, required perseverance and compelled you to communicate your research to an audience is valuable in any context.” Throughout the process of preparing and eventually presenting at the conference, Robin Turner, faculty sponsor and political science subject coordinator, said students take away many skills that can be applied in a variety of different fields. “I think (presenting research is) a very important skill,” Turner said. “If our students are going into some sort of graduate training and intend to enter some form of academia, they’ll find that they often have to present their research to various publics. “The ability to do that effectively and to concisely explain to people what you’re doing and why it’s important is a really important skill.” Student presenters viewed the conference not only as an academic and professional event but as a rewarding personal experience as well. “It felt really good, especially when I looked over at the professors and

The 25th annual Undergraduate Research Conference drew student presenters from colleges all over the Midwest representing more than 25 disciplines.

Presenters were aided by faculty sponsors, who helped their students conduct research and prepare for their presentations.

It really does prepare us for life after graduation. JASMEN RICE SENIOR they were shaking their heads ‘yes’ or they were smiling or had their thinking faces on,” senior psychology presenter Jen Kugler said. “The professors emailing you after your presentation and letting you know that you did a wonderful job was the best part of the presentation.” For many seniors, the conference allows an opportunity to share their years of research at Butler. Seniors took the opportunity to share their theses with audiences and display the culmination of their collegiate experiences before embarking on post-graduate endeavors. “It really does prepare us for life after graduation,”

The conference allowed both students and faculty alike to share their academic work on a professional stage. senior psychology presenter Jasmen Rice said. “For us to have this opportunity to present what we’ve worked hard on and to have people ask us questions about it, it’s really good preparation, and it actually makes you feel really good about yourself that someone actually wants to listen to what you’ve been doing for almost four years.”

Costs are still uncertain at this point, but Danko feels conﬁdent the beneﬁts will have Butler come out on top in the end. “It was a no-brainer once we looked at the expected revenue and the projected

He said the most common vandalism crimes have been side mirrors being broken off cars, grafﬁti and building windows being broken. “That one just goes right over my head,” Allee said. “I don’t understand the mentality there.” Allee said that while Butler students can do certain things to prevent theft, BUPD must also do its part and educate the community. “A lot of kids, especially who are living off campus, maybe (we can) prepare them better with the information,” Allee said. “That comes back to us.

It now has raised nearly $14.5 million for the project. “I feel conﬁdent that we’ll make it,” Danko said. “People want to see these renovations, and Hinkle is important to a lot of people.” Danko hopes to continue raising money for the university to support a new master plan—a rendering of how the university could look in 20 years. Planners will be on campus this week to assess what the university could do with the space and resources it has. “We have the chance to totally shape the future of Butler University,” Danko said. “The Butler of tomorrow hasn’t been determined yet.”

Students of different colleges work together to produce book KELLY ROSTIN KROSTIN@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

Eight Butler University students from four colleges collaborated over the past year to release a children’s book on asthma. “He Huffed and He Puffed But…A Tale of a Wolf with Asthma,” follows Tim BurWulf, a wolf who runs out of breath when trying to blow down the three little pigs’ houses. Aimed at children ages ﬁve to 11, the book looks to educate children about asthma symptoms and control. Two students from four separate Colleges—the Jordan College of the Arts, College of Business, College of Education and the College of Pharmacy Health and Sciences— started collaborating last summer to come up with a storyline, graphics and vision for the book.

“The coolest thing I’ve seen as a professor on this project is that you’re bringing together four different colleges with four different sets of expertise to teach each other about what it is they’ve been studying on campus for the past four to six years,” said Erin Albert, an adviser for the book and assistant pharmacy professor. This book follows last year’s children’s book “Pharmacy and Me,” which was produced in the same fashion out of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences “Senior Projects” course. This year, COB students were added to the mix. “The COB students have really driven the project from a project management perspective,” Albert said. “Last year we didn’t have that element added in, and they’ve been an amazing addition.” Sophomore Taylor Cox, who was an art major last year, worked on the

project’s digital design aspects. A fellow art major drew the sketches and designs on plain paper with a Sharpie. Cox scanned the image into the computer, digitally redrew it, then added all of the color in. “It’s so relieving to actually see the hard copy there and know we’ve put so much time into something that’s looking to be pretty successful,” Cox said. “It’s all been so worth it.” COE majors contributed the expertise of writing through a child’s lens, Albert said. “I think writers are leaders,” Albert said. “They are shaping the content they’re providing to a wider audience.” Pharmacy students contributed their medical knowledge of asthma and made sure it was portrayed correctly in the text. “The thing about pharmacy in particular is all pharmacists are educators,” Albert said. “Whether

That way you’re getting students to work with people not like them, so they can learn how to educate others in what they’ve been studying here at Butler.” The book is available in hard copy at the Butler Bookstore and is available as an e-book for sale on

SOCIAL MEDIA: CONFESSIONS AND ADMIRERS

Students awarded for outstanding employment Students were honored for their hard work with various jobs across Butler University. ALISON HALL AAHALL1@BUTLER.EDU

STAFF REPORTER

Lindsey Wacnik, Hannah Simmons and Erica Gilliland have been announced as the three winners of 2013 Student Employee of the Year Awards. Cheri Prather, senior secretary for the Learning Resource Center and Student Disability Services, was on the committee that chose the winners. Prather said she was honored to be chosen and to be a part of the selection process. “There were several really good students, and they all really look like they were doing a great job,” Prather said. Junior Lindsey Wacnik was given the Outstanding New Student Award. She started as an assistant in Information Commons and was promoted to Moodle specialist. She assists in the training for faculty and does one-on-one consultations on how to use Moodle. Wacnik said she was honored to even be nominated. “It was pretty exciting,” Wacnik said. “I was very surprised. I wasn’t really expecting it. I was kind of surprised even when I got the nomination.” Wacnik said her favorite part of her job is working directly with faculty and staff. Senior Hannah Simmons was given the Student Employee Leadership Award. Simmons came to Butler as an exploratory major and showed an interest in event planning. This interest led her to the conferences and special events ofﬁce. She started her freshman year as a student assistant, and this past

ASSOC. PROF. OF ART HISTORY summer, Simmons was offered an internship position in the ofﬁce. As an intern, she managed summer conferences and helped train faculty and staff with the event management software used on campus. Simmons said she could not have won the award without the people she worked with in the conferences and special events ofﬁce. “They really looked out for what was best for me, and they have such good work ethic,” Simmons said. The Overall Student Employee of the Year Award was given to Erica Gilliland. Gilliland works in Information Commons as an associate. She leads a team of students each semester, training them on how to use all the different types of technology. She said her favorite part of her job is being able to work with technology and helping people. “It gave me the opportunity to still be really involved with technology even though my major wasn’t requiring that of me,” Gilliland said.

Gilliland said she was really surprised to get the nomination and wasn’t expecting to win. Associate art professor Elizabeth Mix said in an email that the students who won had extremely strong nomination letters and personal essays. Mix was on the committee that chose the winners. “Well, I have to say it was very difﬁcult to choose the winners,” said Mix. “There were many students doing incredible work as evidenced in their supervisors’ nomination letters.”

FROM PAGE ONE on social media is not affecting the marketing and image of Butler University,” Kaltenmark said. “It’s a great opportunity to reach out to people, not to be inappropriate.” In the cases of Butler Confessions and BU Secret Admirer, both Twitter and Facebook pages state “this is not affiliated with Butler University.” Incoming freshmen have begun following the pages. On April 4, 2013, Butler Confessions posted “I’m going to be an incoming freshman this fall, and all you confessors make me quite excited for the years to come.” Students from other schools also look at the pages. Multiple confessions have been posted about not going to Butler and “trolling” the site. One post said, “My boyfriend is addicted to Butler Confessions. He doesn’t even go here.” Butler junior Alex Curtis said he checks the Butler Confessions and Secret Admirer pages every few days but sees a lot of the pages’ content on his news feed daily. “I think it’s just college students having harmless fun,” Curtis said. “Since it’s anonymous, people can post a confession without worrying about people finding out or worrying about who it is. But then some of them can get kind of gross.” Curtis said he doesn’t believe all of the posts are completely truthful. “I definitely think that a lot of the posts are made up,” Curtis said. “But there’s always a chance that the outrageous ones could be true, and that adds to the excitement of it all.” Kaltenmark said parody accounts and confessional accounts are rapidly changing enough that they don’t pose much of a threat. “It’s almost a flavor-of-themonth kind of thing,” Kaltenmark said. “If we see that the number of followers is low or decreasing, we don’t really worry too much.” Kaltenmark said parody accounts are okay as long as they are not trying to mimic the university or its officials. “The biggest thing is to make sure that these parodies are not impersonating the university by using trademarks, certain names or official pictures,” Kaltenmark said. Kaltenmark said many times he and other university officials try to find the creators of these accounts. “We keep a closer eye on these pages than most students would think,” Kaltenmark said. “We generally try to track down the creators of these sites and pages. We have definitely done our homework.” When asked if he knows who the creator of Butler Confessions is, Kaltenmark declined to comment. The creator of the page insisted that his or her identity was “unknown to all.” Curtis said he believes the university administration currently serves as some kind of filter for what is posted on the Butler Confessions page. When asked if the university censored any of the material on the pages, the creator said “the page is not affiliated with Butler University.” The creator admitted to

Athletics department looks for qualiﬁcations, not connections BEN SIECK BSIECK@BUTLER.EDU

STAFF REPORTER

Butler University’s athletics department may employ numerous Butler alumni, but a prior relationship with Butler is far from a job requirement. Athletics Director Barry Collier said he looks for ﬁve things above all else when evaluating a prospective department employee. “(I look for) somebody that has high integrity, has a high level of intelligence, is a great communicator, has a high work ethic with a high motor and, lastly, would be the relative experience they bring,” Collier said. Collier said Ken LaRose, a Butler alum who was recently hired to an associate athletic director position, ﬁt all of these qualities. His time spent with Butler—as a player,

assistant coach and head coach of the school’s football team—is a beneﬁcial bonus. “(LaRose) was someone who was a student-athlete,” Collier said. “He didn’t have to be a studentathlete, but that was certainly a positive thing. In this case he was also someone who was a longtime college coach. (He) didn’t have to be, but (it’s) another positive thing.” Sonya Hopkins, academic support coordinator, graduated from Southern Illinois University. She said making the transition from one school to another came with one particular challenge. “I don’t ever feel like I’ve been at a disadvantage outside of one thing, and that was my unfamiliarity of how the inner workings of Butler worked,” Hopkins said. “There was a learning curve I had to experience

and deal with, but that in no way, form or fashion prevented me from doing my job.” Hopkins said she believes a transition period comes with any new job, Butler being no exception. Despite the growing pains, Hopkins said she has beneﬁtted during her time at Butler. “It’s really been enjoyable to meet a whole new group of people who are like-minded to myself,” Hopkins said. “It’s been fun to meet and have a whole new network of people in my life.” Collier said hiring searches are never done with a speciﬁc goal of choosing someone with or without a connection to Butler. “The majority of people we’ve hired in my almost seven years here are not Butler grads,” Collier said. However, Collier said a connection with Butler would

hardly hurt a candidate’s chance. “Those ﬁve qualiﬁcations are far more important, but the fact that a person went to Butler, competed at Butler or coached at Butler would likely be a favorable addition to their consideration,” Collier said. LaRose, who is in charge of athletic development in his new job, said he believes his experience with Butler makes his job that much easier. “I saw it as natural for me to come here,” LaRose said. “I can tell the story of Butler dating back four decades and beyond.” As for reasons alumni decide to come back to work for Butler, LaRose offered his personal take. “For me, it’s the people,” LaRose said. “It’s something that I continue to be proud of even to this day. Butler University is truly a special place.”

CLUB BASKETBALL

BETH WERGE

The men’s club basketball team traveled to Raleigh last weekend for National IntramuralRecreational Sports Association national tournament in hopes of bringing the first national title back to Butler since 1929. Just like the NCAA tournament the road traveled by the club team wasn’t an easy one. Last year, the team didn’t even have funds to go. This year, as a university-recognized club, it was able to play for a national title in what was a truly long weekend, including a 12-hour drive to and from the tournament and six games in three days. On Friday, Butler faced UNCGreensboro, winning 55-39. Saturday featured three games on the schedule, and the first tip-off was at 9:30 a.m. “The games on Saturday were a lot tougher,” senior center James Pascascio said, “and no one wants to drive 10, 15 hours to get sent home on day two.” In Saturday’s second game — the first game of the playoffs— Butler escaped elimination by James Madison with a 51-49 win. The Bulldogs handily defeated Delaware 55-40 later that night

to qualify for the semifinals the following morning. Butler made Sunday’s final by beating a big Cornell squad 40-29, and was set to face 2012 national runner-up Howard University. Beginning with a back-and-forth start, Butler was eventually able to open up a gap. Howard was down by as many as 13 in the first half, and the Bulldogs took a 3223 advantage into the locker room after 20 minutes of play. In the second half, Howard fought tooth and nail to stay in it. With minutes left, Butler’s Pascascio pushed the Bulldogs’ lead back to seven with a lay-in that put Butler up 49-42. “We were all thinking, ‘This is going to be the longest minute twenty-eight (seconds) of our lives,’” Pascascio said. “We were rolling. We were playing well.” But Howard wasn’t done yet. Down seven with 1:28 left, it scored the game’s final eight points to take their lone lead of the second half with just eight seconds left. “We knew it was going to be rough,” Pascascio said. “With playing five games, we were banged up, beat up. We were so close and wanted it so bad.” Senior Louis Kamo attempted the desperation shot. Unable to connect, the national title slipped

Butler’s Kamo and Matt Troja were also both named Men’s Club AllAmericans. “Looking at it from the beginning of the year,” senior student-coach Brian Joe said, “the expectations weren’t that high. To be able to make it to the national tournament was something that was really rewarding.”

Fifth-years use time differently JOHN YELEY JYELEY@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

In the NCAA, a player may take a redshirt season and stretch out his or her collegiate athletic eligibility over the course of ﬁve years. This can be done for a variety of reasons. Some athletes wish to gain an extra year of practice with the team while others transfer from a different school. It can also be done to take a break from the competition. A consequence of this is that the athlete is often done with his or her degree after four years of schooling but may still have to take classes a ﬁfth year in order to maintain athletic eligibility. The NCAA requires graduate studentathletes take at least nine credit hours in a semester in order to keep eligibility.

DECK BUTLER SPORTS THIS WEEK

While athletes can use this rule to sign up for what may be deemed blow-off classes with very little academic benefit, some Butler athletes use it to further their education and work toward degrees. Senior Katie Clark, a member of Butler’s cross country and track and field teams, took a redshirt season during the track and field team’s 2012-13 indoor campaign. She is making the most of her extra time in Butler academics by working toward her master’s degree in Butler’s school counseling program. Clark said her required fifth year of schooling is an added benefit to red-shirting for one athletic season. “Even though the whole student-athlete lifestyle can be a struggle at times, unless you have a pro contract waiting for you, I think the

unique experience of competing in the NCAA is something you should drag out as long as you possibly can,” Clark said. For former men’s basketball player Emerson Kampen, who is finishing up his final year, a redshirt allowed an easier schedule during basketball season. “My fifth year allowed me to spread out my workload during basketball season, “ Kampen said. “I didn’t pick up another major or minor, (but) it was worth it because it allowed me to focus on my classes and not have a large workload during the basketball season.” Whatever path is taken, it is clear the current redshirt system can be advantageous for student-athletes, providing an extra year of collegiate athletics and offering the opportunity for more time in higher education.

Former Butler student-athlete and coach Brandon Miller will return to the Butler men’s basketball sideline next year. Miller will join Brad Stevens’ staff next season, replacing former associate head coach Matthew Graves, who recently took the head coach position at South Alabama. “We are very excited to welcome Brandon Miller back to Butler,” Stevens said. “He’s not only one of our all-time great student-athletes but also a very accomplished and talented coach.” Miller is a part of Butler’s 1,000-point club, and in his three years as a player, he and his teammates recorded a 7022 record with three league championships. He was a part of the 2002-03 Butler team that made the Sweet 16, the ﬁrst time Butler had achieved that in more than four decades. Miller inbounded the ball to start the play that produced what is often regarded as the greatest shot in Butler men’s basketball history. It took place on March 1, 2003, when Avery Sheets hit a buzzer-beater against Milwaukee to clinch Butler’s fourth consecutive Horizon League Championship. Miller earned his bachelor’s degree from Butler in 2003, and in 2006 he was named to the 15-player Butler Sesquicentennial Team. Freshman guard Kellen Dunham used to go see Miller play when he was a kid and got his autograph on a basketball at a Butler basketball camp. “He was ultra competitive as a player, and he is bringing a lot of experience as a coach to help the team next year,” Dunham said. “I am excited to learn from see miller page 7

Butler takes three of four games MARISSA JOHNSON MKJOHNSO@BUTLER.EDU SPORTS EDITOR

The Butler softball team went 3-1 in conference play last weekend. The Bulldogs (17-19, 6-4) split a doubleheader with Fordham Sunday. In the first game, Rams (25-16, 9-5) senior Jamie LaBovick hit a home run over the left field wall to start the game. Fordham scored two more runs in the second inning before being shut out by junior Leah Bry. But it was enough. Rams sophomore pitcher Michele Daubman blanked the Bulldogs, finishing with three strikeouts and no walks. In game two, Butler struck first, scoring a run in the bottom of the fourth inning on a

double by junior Krista Hakola. Fordham countered in the top of the sixth with another home run from LaBovick. In the top of the eighth LaBovick scored on a fielder’s choice to take a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the eighth, sophomore Kristen Boros reached on an infield single. Boros scored on a single by freshman Audrey East. Senior Devin Brierly came in to pinch-run and scored the winning run off a hit from senior Devin Dearing. On Saturday, the Bulldogs swept conference opponent La Salle in a doubleheader. The final scores were 15-1 and 2-0. The team is at home this weekend with doubleheaders against St. Joseph’s and Temple.

MILLER: NAMED NEW ASSISTANT COACH

Walk-up songs used for varying reasons KYLE BEERY KBEERY@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

Senior Butler softball player Devin Dearing waited at the plate during the eighth inning of Sunday’s second game of a doubleheader against Fordham. “Hit Me Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears rang through the stadium speakers as pinch runner Devin Brierly jogged to second base. On the first pitch of the at-bat, Dearing hit a double to drive in Brierly for the walk-off win. Dearing is just one of many Butler players who uses their walk-up song to gain extra confidence. “It helps in not realizing the pressure of the situation,” Dearing said. Many players have different takes on the idea of walk-up songs. Dearing said her song reflects her relaxed personality, which helps her get in the zone at the plate. Walk-up songs are also used to

get hitters excited for their at-bat, said senior ﬁrst baseman Jimmy Risi. “You have to ﬁnd a song that pumps you up but also keeps you relaxed and not too amped up,” Risi said. Risi uses the song “Pretty Handsome Awkward” by The Used to get him ready. Risi said his is one of the more serious songs of all the players. “Mine is a little more serious and gets me pumped,” Risi said. “But there are some guys who have some goofy songs.” Junior Marcos Calderon uses the hip-hop song “Goodies” by female artist Ciara. “Walk-up songs match your personality, and I’m not the most serious guy,” Calderon said. “It’s important to play relaxed and have a good time when you’re playing. You have to be serious, but you have to enjoy it.” Calderon, the leadoff hitter, said “Goodies” helps the team relax at the beginning of the game because it brings them back to

Freshman softball player Riley Carter uses a hip-hop remix of “O Canada.” Carter, from Uxbridge, Ontario, said a friend from home told her to use something that says “Canada” in it, and she remembered how they used to listen to the song when they were younger. “When I hear it I get kind of pumped,” Carter said. “It reminds me of home, and I feel good.” Senior Jenny Esparza organized the girls’ walk-up songs and said she had her teammates pick songs that help them get ready at the plate. “It can either be what the words mean that actually pump them up or just the beat,” Esparza said. Senior baseball catcher Radley Haddad said walk-up songs can be approached in two different ways. Some players like to have fun and put on a song that gets the crowd going, like Calderon, Haddad said. “Marcos is just trying to get in a relaxed mood,” Haddad said. “Last year he used a Gloria Estefan song.” Haddad said his approach is to be a little more serious and focus in with a song that gets him pumped up. He uses the song “Breaking a Sweat” by Skrillex, a mash-up of an old Doors song. “I heard it at a Reds game last summer, and I liked it and

thought it could be a song for me,” Haddad said. “Players are always thinking about what their next walk-up will be.” Haddad said no matter what approach hitters take, walk-up songs are a fun aspect of the game.

When Matta left for Ohio State the following year, Miller went with him and became the video coordinator and director of basketball operations. He held the post for three years. Miller then returned to Butler for the 2007-08 season, helping the Bulldogs to a 30-4 record with Horizon League season and tournament championships and a berth in the second round of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. After his one season at Butler, Miller returned to Ohio State for three more seasons. He spent last season as special assistant to Illinois head coach John Groce. Miller was on the sideline this year when Illinois and Butler met in the Maui Invitational championship game. The Illini walked away with a 78-61 victory. With Miller’s move back to Butler, he and Stevens will be reunited for a third time. “I’m real excited (Miller) is coming back to Butler,” sophomore Andrew Smeathers said. “I know he has a great understanding of the game and will help the team and myself reach our full potential.” TIMELINE 2000-2003: Point guard at Butler. 2004: Started as a video intern for Thad Matta at Xavier. 2005-2006: Worked as the director of basketball operations at Ohio State. 2007: Took a position as video coordinator at Ohio State. 2008: Served as an assistant coach at Butler. 2009-2011: Went back to Ohio State as an assistant coach under Thad Matta. 2011-2013: Special assistant to Illinois head coach John Groce. 2013: Returns to Butler to take over as an assistant coach.

n a show’s production, preparation done by actors for their roles tends to glide beneath the radar. When a student is cast for a show at Butler University, that student never knows how dramatically his or her appearance might need to change. The costume shop, for example, may ask cast students to cut, grow out or dye their hair a different color. In the Butler theatre department’s production of “Pigeons” this spring, senior Kerry Stauffer was asked to cut her hair short and dye it bright red. To those outside the theatre world, the request might be surprising. “You really don’t think about it, though,” Stauffer said. “If they tell you to do it for a role, you do it.” Students are usually willing to make drastic changes for the

production. “In the real world, if an actor isn’t willing to do it, they’ll cast someone else,” said Angie Malone, costume shop manager. “People have to be very ﬂexible with their looks because that’s how they get acting jobs.” Senior Quinn Leary said theatre students understand they must make sacriﬁces for the good of the whole. “They realize that they’re part of

KERRY STAUFFER in “Pigeons”

something bigger than themselves,” Leary said. In a series of shows spanning 12 months, Leary was not allowed to cut his hair. “As an actor, you’re a blank canvas,” Leary said. “You become one of (the director’s and designers’) tools to make art through.” While resistance sometimes occurs, the love actors share toward the production is greater than concerns over their physical

appearance. “If a costume designer asks you to cut your hair, you’re upholding their aesthetic vision of the show,” Leary said. “You become complicit in helping develop that vision.” Actors cast for a production are required to not cut their hair, including facial hair, until the costume shop has a costume and make-up design completed. “Actors are often cast based on their looks,” Malone said. “We often ask them to change their appearance to look more period or more like the character would look like.” The actors then cut their hair to ﬁt the show’s needs. If actors have tattoos, they are required to provide their own makeup to cover them. The reason for appearance changes is the same reason actors wear costumes. It’s one more way to get into character. That is not to say actors hide inside their costumes. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

“People think that creating a character is about concealing,” said Diane Timmerman, theatre department chair. “But really great acting is about telling the truth of a character.” Telling the truth of a character, however, is challenging and is a new experience for actors every time. Each actor approaches getting into character differently. “I usually start ﬁrst with the physicality of that character,” freshman Taylor Galloway said. “Once my body associates that physicality with the lines I’m saying, I’m able to create a consistent internal character as well.” Whatever way an actor chooses to become a character, the end goal is present that character honestly. “The character often comes to life most fully when the actor understands the underlying dramatic action of that character,” Timmerman said. “You always want more than just the literal value of what’s being said.”

BUTLER DANCE DEPARTMENT

‘Giselle’: exploring romanticism through dance This production presented as part of the first annual Butler ArtsFest. MALLORY DUNCAN MSDUNCAN@BUTLER.EDU ASST. ARTS ETC EDITOR To close a successful season while simultaneously opening another sort of “season,” Butler Ballet presents “Giselle.” “Giselle” is the last performance of the academic year for the Butler Ballet, but it will be one of the first performances of the first annual Butler University ArtsFest. Larry Attaway, dance department chair, said “Giselle” is credited as being the first fulllength romantic story ballet. Giselle is a ballet wrought with emotion. Themes of love and betrayal drive the storyline. Because of the intense emotion, this ballet requires a lot of acting from performers. “It’s very challenging for students,” Attaway said. “It’s a difficult ballet on so many different levels.” “All the principals have to have superb acting abilities from the title character on down.” Senior Dani Morano, who plays the title role of Giselle, said she must do more than just dance

steps because it’s such a character role. Morano has to remain in character, dance and act through the entire two-hour ballet. Attaway said Giselle is a complex character. She goes from being an innocent country girl to the ballet’s heroine. Five Butler dance professors choreographed “Giselle.” The ﬁrst act was in the hands of professors Stephan LaurentFaesi and Marek Cholewa, while the second act was helmed by professor Michelle Jarvis and associate professor Derek Reid with help from Michael Johnson, visiting assistant professor. The professors have each worked on one or more performances of “Giselle” before in different capacities and brought their individual expertise to the production. “(Working with the different professors) has its beneﬁts and its challenges,” Morano said. “It’s nice because they have done it. They each have a different take and approach. I get four times as

much coaching.” Cholewa has worked with “Giselle” a number of times in other countries and also here in the U.S. He is not changing the first act’s choreography from the original but is adding his own flair. “It’s like restoring a Rembrandt painting,” Cholewa said. “You don’t want to put some of your own lines on it. You want to see it how it is. You want to see the Rembrandt.” The ballet itself was created in 1841 between two French revolutions. It’s fitting that the ballet be performed during the opening to the Butler ArtsFest, which has the theme of revolution. “Some aspects of the score were revolutionary at the time, even though they didn’t break down any doors,” Attaway said. “‘Giselle’ took themes and attached them to characters, and most ballets weren’t like that at the time.” “Giselle” may have been revolutionary at its conception, but the themes running throughout the

Cholewa said these themes were recognized, and they continue to happen now. “(The themes) always come back to us,” Cholewa said. “Someone falls in love, someone will cheat, then there’s heartbrokenness. ‘Giselle’ shows that this exists. It’s not like it won’t ever happen in real life. It does happen.” Even though the performance can remind audiences of real circumstances, Attaway hopes they come to the ballet for the original reasons it was written.

‘Lunar Revolution 2.0’ a once in a blue moon show LÉA LEVY LLEVY@BUTLER.EDU STAFF REPORTER

“Lunar Revolution 2.0” exhibits the angst people feel in the face of technology. “Lunar Revolution 2.0” was brilliantly directed by William Fisher and beautifully devised by the Butler theatre department. Audience seating was set up on all four sides of the “Black Box” theatre, Lilly Hall 168, giving the audience a well-rounded perspective of the play. This also gave actors the freedom to face all angles of the stage. The stage was set up to resemble the moon’s surface and NASA’s control center during the ﬁrst American moon landing. Everything—from the use of space, technology and music to the costumes and acting—helped make the show creative and interesting. The play is comprised of several different scenes, using text from Albert Giraud’s “Pierrot Lunaire,” the Greek myth of Selene, the Apollo program and more. This conglomeration of texts and different ideas encompasses the magic and fear the moon has

evoked in people in the past, present and future. The production’s title was cleverly chosen. “Lunar” has to do with the moon, but “Revolution” could imply one or both of two meanings: an uprising or a rotation about an axis. The ﬁrst idea ties into the theme of Butler’s ﬁrst ArtsFest—of which this performance is part— and the other ties into the the simplicity yet complexity of nature. The costumes were comprised of styles from different periods, but all were black, white or gray, giving the stage an eerie look. Along with dialogue, monologue and movement, the actors sang, danced and played instruments, displaying the Butler theatre department’s overall talent and versatility. The play opened with people hurriedly walking around the stage. This scene was repeated throughout the play, though a little differently every time. One scene like this was repeated four times in a row, with people checking their watches and running around, getting to where they needed to be. This

“It really is the epitome of all the romantic love,” Attaway said. “The unrequited love, the love that is greater than death itself. Romantic ballets were often about escapism. In their own way, they were the escape entertainment of the time.” “Giselle” will run Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $21.50—$28.50 for adults and $17—$23 for children, students and seniors, depending on seat location.

continued until a beanbag fell from the ceiling, interrupting their mundane routine and upsetting the actors. Another scene toward the end had the actors hurrying around with their eyes glued to smartphones. These scenes depict the almost robotic ﬁgures into which technology has turned human beings. Each actor had nearly equal stage time, not putting the spotlight on one particular character. The lighting, especially at scene changes, was very impressive. The transitions were almost ﬂawless. Though “Lunar Revolution 2.0” was not a typical play, I would highly recommend it to the Butler community. The theatre department is full of talented individuals who are able to perform in a variety of different ways and who manage to put on experimental plays like “Lunar” successfully.

With seniors getting ready to graduate, a fear exists that they will lose their connection to Butler University. In order to link the Jordan College of the Arts alumni to Butler, JCA created its ﬁrst alumni community. Instead of designating an alumni group by geographic location or by year of graduation, the JCA alumni club brings past students together through their similar interests. Barry Hohlfelder, a 1966 graduate and Jordan College of the Arts Alumni Community president, felt a strong desire to be an active participant in the alumni community. “I feel very strongly about being an alumnus from Jordan College of the Arts,” Hohlfelder said. “I serve on the board of visitors at CCOM (College of Communication) and am a very active alumnus, but I still felt a disconnect from the Jordan College of the Arts.” With the help of JCA Dean Ronald Caltabiano, Hohlfelder was able to connect the JCA community. The JCA Alumni Community allows special access and discounts to performances at the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts, invitations to social events with the dean and faculty, and behind-the-scenes programs for children at the annual “Nutcracker Ballet” and other performances. “Our hope is that we will have special events our alumni would be particularly interested in,” Hohlfelder said. “While we will have discount tickets for events

at the Schrott Center and Clowes (Memorial) Hall, we’re hoping to expand to other venues in the Indianapolis community so we can get together and share in cultural experiences.” Frank Felice, associate music professor and Butler alumnus, thought the club’s development was long overdue. “We’ve been threatening to do something like this for years,” Felice said. “The idea of a community of artists or of likeminded souls coming together is wonderful.” Although current seniors have yet to graduate, Reid Swenson, a senior in JCA, is already worried about losing his feeling of closeness to the Butler community. “Getting ready to graduate, though exciting, is also a loss in some way,” Swenson said. “But the alumni program for JCA seems like a good way to still be a part of everything I have come to love about Butler.” The JCA Alumni Community is planning to celebrate the alumni club’s reception with a reception at the Schrott Center this Saturday from 6:15-7 p.m.

Guard your gadgets While Butler University’s Community of Care is a ﬁne idea, it does not keep students belongings from getting stolen. There has been a spike in theft around campus, and much of the responsibility to protect belongings lies with students themselves. It’s not uncommon for two or three laptops to be lying around unattended in an academic building at any given time. Students will leave them go print things, to talk to friends or make a phone call, leaving the valuables ready to be stolen. Butler is not immune from crime, and students need to stop thinking that nothing bad will ever happen to them. We do live in a bubble, but sometimes that bubble bursts, and people come in and steal things. Do not be naïve about what can happen when you are not around. An unattended backpack or iPhone can be tempting to a thief. It’s not always outsider-onstudent crime. Butler is pretty small, but there are still more than 4,000 students here who are perfectly capable of snatching up expensive items while others are away. Last fall, a Ross Hall resident made his or her way through the building and stole cash and computers. That should send a message to students to take steps to prevent this from happening to them. Butler is generally safe, but the recent spree in theft should push

once you get something stolen, you will not see it again. Don’t be the next victim in the crime log. Lock your doors. Keep your backpack with you. Always keep your phone ,laptop and other expensive electronics close. It only takes a second for something to disappear.

Collegian has been more than a newspaper Being a member of The Collegian team has been life-changing I found a family at The Butler Collegian. As I round out my tenure as editor-in-chief and we start the process of selecting the next person to take the role, it is important for me to acknowledge exactly what I have had for the past four years. I have a group of peers that have supported me in everything I have done. My fellow editors—this year, more than ever—have seen me at my highest points and at my lowest. They have been there for me as I panic over job searches. They have helped me manage my life, sometimes reminding me that I have to go to class. These staff members have become my saving grace. At the end of the day, I know that Fairbanks 210 will always be full of people who are supportive, loving and kind.

What we do is not always easy. I spent more time in that ofﬁce than I have in my own home this year. My email inbox ﬁlls up faster than I can manage when I’m trying to gather notes for a story. I have spent nights awake wondering if I should have written the beginning of a piece differently. When it gets overwhelming, it has been good to know I’m not in it alone. If you’re going to be facing an uphill climb, there is no better group to hike with. They are the most talented people I have ever had the chance to work with. At the end of the day, after the dozens of awards this staff has won, this group has the drive to

keep doing better. The staff’s dedication and passion to journalism, to its paper, to the School of Journalism and Butler University is unmatched. Week after week, I have had the chance to grow as a person and a journalist alongside talented writers, photographers, editors and designers. I joined The Collegian because it felt like the right thing to do. Now, as I think about a life outside that ofﬁce, it feels wrong. I cannot possibly put into words how much everyone has meant to me. To my coworkers and advisers I have had the chance to work with—you have changed my life. You have inspired me. You have kept me going when things get hard. You have kept me from drowning, and you have helped me ﬁnd a family at Butler. And I couldn’t be happier with that crazy, dysfunctional and dynamic family.

When posting to public media sites, students should be more conscious of the images they are creating. Over the past few weeks, Butler Confessions and BU Secret Admirer have become widely popular on Twitter and Facebook. These sites have more than 2,000 Facebook likes and Twitter followers combined. While most of the people who view these posts are probably students, anyone on Facebook or Twitter can see the pages. Prospective students and parents can see these pages, and some of the posts are not great displays of class. Some comments are innocent and funny, but other comments have lewd descriptions that are inappropriate. The comments make Butler students look like a bunch of sex -addicted young adults. One anonymous commentor posted, “I jacked off in JH 342 last night. Have fun in class tomorrow.” While statements like this may be true, it is not necessary that students say this on the Internet where anyone in the world can see. All comments are anonymous and university ofﬁcials have been keeping an eye on the pages, but there should be more done to regulate these pages, especially if they have Butler’s name in the title. The site is not monitored by Butler. Only a few accounts in violation of the social media guidelines have occurred, and none of the posts are affecting the marketing and image of Butler, Kaltemark said. After reading some of the lewd comments, I personally do not understand how these are not negatively impacting the university. These comments are not a good representation of the “Butler Way”. Many schools around the country have similar social media pages but that does not mean Butler has to lower its standards and have social media pages with bad comments as well. The two social media pages are not afﬁliated with the university, and the school can do little to regulate the pages. But Butler is in the title of these pages, and, therefore they are a direct representation of the Butler students. The web marketing team keeps a close eye on the pages, Kaltenmark said, but with all of the posted comments falling under the guidelines already, there is little that can be done to be more selective of the comments that make the page. The pages can be very entertaining and interesting to read, but the fact is that some of these comments are protected by the rules. Students need to realize the potential harm these comments can do to the reputation to the school. Contact opinion editor Rhyan Henson at rhenson@butler.edu

Take advantage of Butler ArtsFest Butler ArtsFest highlights school’s student talents

Watch what you say Students need to avoid words that promote bigotry and hate Students use words like “faggot” and “retarded” as insults in everyday conversation, which gives the impression that it is okay to mock someone for being gay or mentally disabled. Society needs to stop accepting these words as insults. The Butler Community of Care celebrates tolerance, which is exactly what those words do not promote. “Faggot” is an insult for someone who is homosexual. Slurs like this are hurtful and intolerable. Nobody has a right to put people down because of who they are as a person, so nobody should use the word “faggot.” Even using the word out of its correct context is morally wrong. People tell each other, “You are so gay,” or “You are a faggot,” to insult them for reasons that have nothing

MAGGIE MONSON

to do with sexual orientation. These phrases imply that being gay is synonymous with doing something stupid or embarrassing, which creates an atmosphere of intolerance. I believe Macklemore said it best in his song “Same Love.” The lyrics say “faggot” is “a word rooted in hate.” Every time someone uses a homophonic slur to insult someone for any reason, the world seems a little more hateful and prejudiced. The word “retarded” has similar effects. When people tell each other, “You are retarded,” after doing something dumb or making a mistake, they are saying being mentally disabled is the same as being stupid or thoughtless.

These words are used inappropriately and out of context all the time. It is important to stop and think about how words will affect other people before they are said. Being gay is not synonymous with doing something stupid. Being mentally handicapped is not synonymous with making mistakes. Using “faggot” or “retarded” as insults implies these correlations. At Butler, intolerance and hate are not acceptable. All students deserve respect for who they are as a people. Hold each other accountable. The next time someone calls a friend a “faggot” for killing them in a video game or “retarded” for making a wrong turn, ask them why they chose that word. I hope students here do not truly mean these insults. I also hope they stop using them carelessly. Society needs to ﬁnd new methods of expressing frustration instead of using words that promote intolerance or hate.

The Butler ArtsFest will bring out talent in the form of artistic performances for the student body to see. The event takes place from April 18 through 28. It’s 11 days ﬁlled with inspiring art. The art can be faculty or student work and can range from paintings to ballet. Junior, Zach Kukla is performing in the Butler Chamber Dance. “I literally sit down the whole piece,” Kukla said. “The piece is very enjoyable to perform, but it is one of the more difﬁcult pieces I’ve done. I basically have to act the part.” The performance will have live musicians, including a soprano singer. “I have a lot of respect for this style of dancing,” Kukla said. “It doesn’t have normal ballet steps like stuff I am used to doing. It’s mostly silent acting. It’s fun to play such a crazy character, though.” He has rehearses on Wednesdays and Saturdays for the performance. Students like Kukla put large amounts of hard work and dedication into to their craft and performances. “I’m performing in the Butler Symphony Orchestra on the 28th” junior Patrick Peterson said. “I’m excited for our concert, music and

BREE STITT

festival as a whole.” Peterson, who plays the string bass for the orchestra, said the theme of the festival is revolution, which includes all music or art that is influential or had an important role in society when it was first created. Art is such a good way to express emotion. It can change someone’s attitude just with the presence of a colorful painting or flowers planted around campus. It changes the atmosphere completely. The ArtsFest comes at a good time with the semester coming to an end. Since it lasts 11 days, it gives all students time to attend at least one event to admire work by the artists. “Besides the rehearsal time we’ve spent preparing the music, it’s always good to spend some time listening and enjoying art that you are not normally exposed to,” Peterson said. Students can also earn cultural credit for attending these. Art is never the same and always changing. It’s definitely a great way to free the mind.

Service learning should be higher priority Butler classes could better utilize service learning to teach students more

JEREMY ALGATE

It seems saying the phrase “service learning” on Butler University’s campus is enough to start a ﬁght. But there are other ways for students to get off campus and to experience something they would not otherwise be able to do. More classes should offer or even require students to participate in events outside the university. My own experience here speaks well. One of my classes this semester required students to participate in a protest of some kind. This is not something I would have even considered a few years ago. After this class, doing service

learning has become more in line with who I am since I started at Butler. Now, I am looking forward to doing more. Service learning has also given me insight into some of the things I have discussed in classes here at Butler. This kind of assignment differs from classroom learning in a couple of ways. For one, it does not need to be structured. Secondly, it is a onetime event. Service learning classes offer a lot of beneﬁts.

But assignments that push students to be involved in organizations and events offcampus are also a great way to achieve some of the same goals. For one, the ﬂexibility of my class assignment meant the students could personalize what they did instead of having only a few options. As a student with more than one job outside of my course load, I understand volunteering or making time for other activities outside class is not easy. But this assignment has deﬁnitely made me grow as a person. Butler students should take the opportunities given to them, and faculty should make sure the opportunities exist.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Article does not reﬂect impact on Butler students I must voice my outrage at the lurid Butler Collegian article on heroin use among college students. Even though BUPD’s Bruce Allee provided unconscionably indelicate and sensational quotes—quotes that are outrageously disparaging speciﬁcally to Indiana University students—the writer blithely and repeatedly chose to focus on IU and its students. A responsible writer internalizes the material and asks herself whether the story rings true, whether the quotes would be presented in the same context if she were writing for the Indiana Daily Student or another newspaper. As it is, the writer merely trivialized the story by trying to distance herself and Butler from what may well be a real problem for college-age youth across our world. —Annette Lee, Administrative Supervisor of the College of Communication
