  • Cross Country: places 16th at Notre Dame

    The Butler men’s and women’s cross country teams sent full squads to the 57th Annual Notre Dame Invitational this past weekend – or at least, they were supposed to. The entirety of the nationally-ranked women’s team (No. 21) was scratched from the meet, in hopes of both keeping legs fresh and avoiding additional injuries, and…

Upon closer inspection, however, Butler University librarians prove to have a capacity for learning, teaching and assisting in research that straddles the line of being superhuman.…

  • OPINION | Butler’s custodians deserve increased wages, benefits

    With all of the talk about the ongoing and upcoming Hinkle Fieldhouse renovations, Butler University is forgetting about the behind-the-scenes workers. The Hinkle Campaign’s goal is to raise $16 million in order to fully restore the 84-year-old fieldhouse. That’s a lot of money, but it isn’t the most important number in this project. Five is…

    Butler University will witness the return of a radio station to campus. However, students will not be tuning into their car radios to listen because this radio station will be online.

  • Women’s Soccer: Rookie shines for Bulldogs

    One could argue that no single player has had as much of an impact on his or her team this fall at Butler than freshman midfielder Sophie Maccagnone has had on the women’s soccer team. Maccagnone currently leads the team with seven goals and has started in all 11 matches for the Bulldogs so far…

  • OPINION | Vote based on your conscience, not on electability

    Community members should vote with their consciences in this election, and nothing more. If that means voting third party—or not at all—students, faculty and staff should do so. Voting is a symbolic act. In a nation of nearly 320 million people, individual votes may not carry much weight. However, citizens should use their votes not…
