  • Clowes brings the kitchen to campus

    If you’ve ever seen Iron Chef America, then you’ve seen men clad in eccentric costumes running around chopping the heads off fish. Jonathon Sawyer, a sous chef on the show, won’t be chopping off any fish heads when he and celebrity chef Robert Irvine make their debut at Clowes Memorial Hall Nov. 16 for a…

  • Fantasy football: The kids are alright

    As an Indianapolis Colts fan, it was brutal to watch even one millisecond of the game on Sunday night against the New Orleans Saints. However, from a fantasy perspective, I was giddy, as some of the Saints put up monster numbers against my favorite team. In week seven, there were many quarterback changes that resulted…

  • Senior theater major wows

    Senior theater major Becca Muszynski’s senior project, devised-theater play “Split Second,” which ran last weekend, has simultaneously raised the bar for future theater students and attested to the strength of the theater program.

Butler grabbed four victories in doubles play as well as a singles victory by freshman Tommy Marx. Marx won 6-4, 7-5 in his first round matchup, but…

  • LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Comics go too far, don’t cover all sides

    As I read The Butler Collegian in passing, I find it to be a solidly assembled work. I do have one growing concern that reared its ugly head, as of late. I would like to bring attention to the cartoons that have been published in recent weeks in The Collegian. I enjoy reading political cartoons…

  • LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Pharmacy comic misrepresents reality and university

    I find the cartoon portrayed in last week’s Collegian entitled “White Coat Culture” to be completely biased, inaccurate, and unsubstantiated. No one can deny that the pharmacy job market is beginning to level out.  Older pharmacists have delayed retirement and some chain drugstores have cut back hours.  There are no longer large sign-on bonuses or…
