  • 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…

  • LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Students should use their options to improve campus dining

    In light of recent Collegian articles pertaining to the Butler University food services, I felt it relevant to raise awareness for our campus food committee. The Butler Cuisine Bureau, a subcommittee for the Council on Presidential Affairs, is comprised of ten students. This committee exists to serve the student body in addressing any issues pertaining…

  • OPINION | Commencement speakers deserve a stipend

    College graduation is a big deal. It’s a huge deal. It’s a deal big enough that schools like Stanford University, Harvard University and the College of William and Mary have had commencement speakers such as Steve Jobs, J.K Rowling and Jon Stewart. While Butler University is not Harvard or Stanford, it is unacceptable that the…

  • STAFF EDITORIAL | Faculty senate needs transparency

    Butler University Faculty Senate members voted Oct.18 to give themselves the option of holding closed-door sessions in the future, a blow to transparency that possibly could remove important faculty and student interaction with the assembly. We at The Butler Collegian believe anything that denigrates the transparency of a voting body is concerning, especially a body…

  • Jordan Hall study space in short supply

    Classrooms in Jordan Hall are used extensively for both personal and group studying after hours, but most classroom doors are locked on Friday night and not unlocked until Monday morning, making finding space to study difficult for the weekend scholar and student. Sophomore economics and management information systems major Brooke Robinson said she encountered this…

  • Housekeeping staff stays busy with residence hall upkeep

    The daily cleaning of every dormitory bathroom is only one responsibility of Butler University’s housekeeping staff. Richard Hamm, director of building services, works closely with his supervisors, Augusto Acosta and Jenny Roell, to try to keep the residence halls as clean and sanitary as possible. Acosta supervises Ross Hall, Residential College and the Apartment Village,…

  • Cross-listing leaves students feeling frustrated

    Students may now be shopping for next semester’s classes during advising, but it won’t be until next semester that some realize their classmates may be better or worse prepared than they are. Certain classes are cross-listed, or listed twice in the Butler University course catalog. The course may be listed under two different subjects or…

  • OPINION | BUPD follows leads to better solutions

    Before those of you who are under 21 grab hold of that red cup this weekend—or any time, really—consider this: Under Indiana law you could serve 60 days in jail and pay up to $500 in fines. That is the maximum sentence for possession of alcohol by a minor in Indiana. Whether it’s alcohol, marijuana…

  • A clothing line that gives back

    Not many college students can say that a book about Winston Churchill propelled them to success, but not many college students are Wade Markley and Albert Jennings. Markley, a sophomore accounting and management information systems major at Butler University, and Jennings, a freshman at Ball State University, had planned to start a business since their…
