  • Football run over by Camels’ ground game

    The Butler football team’s chances of repeating as Pioneer Football League winners is starting to fade. The rushing attack of the Campbell Camels (2-3, 1-1 PFL) was too much for the Bulldogs (2-3, 0-2 PFL) to handle, leading to a 27-10 loss Saturday at the Butler Bowl. “We didn’t do what we set out to…

  • International athlete serves students

    For most Butler students, classes and extracurricular activities are enough to stay busy on campus. Adding one job to that combination might lead a student to count down the days to Christmas.
