students  learn  about  different 
organizations  on  campus  by 
visiting  different  tables  at 
Block  Party. 


Bulldogs  Into  The  Streets 
otherwise  known  as  BITS 
is  a  program  that  gives 
Freshman  students  the 
opportunity  to  volunteer 
at  various  places  around 
Indianapolis.  Students 
were  put  into  groups 
that  were  led  by 
upperclassmen,  most  of 
whom  had  been 
involved  in  BITS  before. 
Spending  the  afternoon 
at  various  charities 
around  town  welcomed 
students  into  Butler's 
'  olunteering  community, 

'owed  them  to  meet 
new  people,  and  gave 
them  a  chance  to  help 
the  community  before 
classes  started. 


With  over  135  Student  Organizations  on  campus,  you  are  sure  to  find 
one  that  is  right  for  you  at  block  party!  Below  the  Corn  Hole  Club  tries 
to  recruit  members  h\/  letting  them  test  their  skills  out.

Jimmy  Johns  passes  out  free 
sandwiches  to  students,  One 
incentive  to  come  to  Block  Party 
was  the  free  food.  Meanwhile, 
groups  try  many  different 
strategies  to  lure  students  to  their 
tables,  including  striking  a  pose.

the  rhythm  of  the  music  to 
benefit  kids.  The  money  raised 
by  Dance  Marathon  went  to 
Riley  Hospital  for  Children  her^ 
in  Indianapolis, 


Not  only  did  Dance  Marathon 
spend  time  dancing,  the  also

AAuuiiionally,  participants  were  able  to 
spend  time  wall  climbing,  playing 
table  tennis,  and  just  acting  like  the 
kids  they  were  trying  to  support. 


If  students  were  not  adventurous 

enough  to  participate  in  rock  walls 

or  obstacle  courses,  they  were 

given  a  chance  to  create  their 

own  sand  art.  Right:  Students  were 

given  an  animal  to  fill  with  different 

colors  of  sand  a  souvenir  of  their 

wild  college  days 


What  to  do  on  the  weekend  is  a 

question  asked  by  new  students  ail 

over  campus.  To  combat  this  issue, 

SGA's  Program  Board  invited  students 

to  participate  in  "Where  the  Wild 

Things  Are."  A  yearly  event,  with  a 

different  theme  each  year,  the  night 

was  filled  with  fun  games,  free  food, 

arts  and  crafts.  Free  give  ways  like  slap 

bracelets,  wild  sunglasses,  and  animal 

masks  were  sure  ways  to  give  students 

something  to  do  and  remind  them  of 

the  good  old  days  of  school  carnivals.

could  relax  after  a  hard  week  of  school.

BLUE,  WHERE  ARE  VdD? 

Missing  Mascot  V^^ 


-^O 


t 


The  university  began  the  Fall 
2008  semester  without  an 
important  member  of  the 
Butler  family.  The  costume  of 
mascot,  Butler  Blue,  had  gone 
missing. 

The  search  for  Blue  gained 
national  attention  and 
mascots  across  the  country, 
including  the  Indianapolis 
Colt's  Blue,  joined  in  search. 

The  missing  costumes  were 
found  in  late  November  but 
were  too  damaged  to  be 

used. 

Butler's  new  mascot,  Hink, 
made  his  debut  during 
basketball  season. 


The  Colt's 
mascot,  also 
by  the  name 
of  Blue,  filled 
in  for  the 
missing  Butler 
Blue  at  the 
Franklin 
football 
game. 
Apparently 
the  reward 
was  big  for 
his  dawg 
friend. 


Blue  II  enjoys  attending  gomes  and  being  Butler's 
live  mascot.  He  can  frequently  be  found  around 
campus.

"Crew  is  quite  possibly  the 
bestest  tiding  I  ever  decided  to 
do.  It  Inos  made  tine  transition  to 
college  life  oh  so  much  easier, 
mostly  because  the  people  on 
the  team  are  absolutely 
awesome."  -  Claire  Brownson 


Ali  Sebald  claimed,  "Rowing 
through  the  fatigue  and  blisters" 
was  the  hardest  thing  about 
crew.  To  achieve  this  state  of 
exhaustion  Butler's  crew  team 
spent  a  large  amount  of  time  on 
the  water  this  fall,  but  for  many  it 
was  worth  it.  When  asked  what 
her  most  memorable  moment 
this  year  was,  Lindsey  Moore 
stated,  "I  loved  meeting  all  of  the 
really  cool  people  from  Butler 
and  lUPUI.  They  make  all 
moments  fun,  but  I  would  have 
to  say,  my  first  race."

This  year  Butler  and  the  Indianapolis  area 
experienced  days  of  heavy  snowfall.  This 
turned  the  campus  into  a  winter  wonderland 
during  the  second  semester,  It  also  gave  the 
students  the  day  or  two  to  relax  and 
remember  how  fun  it  was  to  be  a  kid.

ends  up  being  fabulous  in  the  end. 

One  of  the  most  exciting  building 
projects  of  the  year  was  the 
construction  of  the  new  addition  to 
the  Pharmacy  Building. 

Students  got  to  experience  the 
hustle  and  bustle  of  project 
coordination  as  they  watched  the 
new  Pharmacy  Building  slowly 
become  whole, 

Additionally,  while  students  could 
not  help  with  the  construction  here

However, 
getting

sports  is  a  great 
way  to  keep  up 
with  sports  skills. 
As  many 
students 
discovered, 
club  sports  are 
an  opportunity 
to  shine. 
Whether 
through  intense 
soccer  or 
lacrosse 
games,  or  laid

able  to  take  a

V  .  BU  and  Acknowledge 


^ 


This  year  the  yearbook  staff  attempted  to  take  a  look  and  discover  the 
different  ways  that  students  expressed  thier  individuality  and  collective  spirit 
of  BU  over  the  course  of  three  seasons.  From  academics,  to  clubs,  to  sports, 
and  campus  life  Butler  students  displayed  fun  and  giving  natures  no  matter 
v\/hat  time  of  year  it  was. 


The  editors  of  this  book  would  like  to  acknowledge  and  thank  oil  the  people 
that  helped  make  this  book  possible.  First,  we  have  to  acknowledge  all 
Butler  University  and  all  of  its  groups  and  programs  who  without  there  would 
be  no  need  for  a  yearbook.  Next,  we  would  specifically  like  to  thank  the 
different  staff,  departments,  and  peers  that  provided  information  when  it 
was  most  needed,  including  Butler  Athletics,  David  McCullough,  Jennie 
Jones,  Samantha  Bane,  Chappell  Graduation  Images,  Beth  Alexander,  Lisa 
Markus,  Lindsey  Joo,  Fred  Yangia,  the  Modern  Language  Center. 
Additionally  we  would  like  to  thank  all  those  people  we  might  hove 
forgotten,  but  who  submitted  photos,  information,  and  other  support 
throughout  the  year.  Everything  you  gave  us  was  greatly  appreciated.  To 
our  Staff  Advisor,  Frank  Council,  and  our  Representatives  at  Jostens,  Mike 
Conlon  and  Susant  Taylor,  we  give  our  undying  appreciation  for  your  help, 
assistance  and  patience  as  we  finished  this  book.  Finally,  we  thank  and 
acknowledge  the  staff  of  the  yearbook  who  stuck  with  us  as  we  tried  to 
figure  out  what  was  going  on.  Without  the  support,  dedication  and  hard 
work  of  Morgan  Pepmeier,  Rachel  Colby,  Jennifer  Cioybaugh,  Kozmyn 
Perry,  Jackie  Sabol,  Olivia  Ingle,  Ben  Cottongim,  and  Molly  Poracky  we 
would  not  have  the  book  we  hove  today. 


As  much  as  we  have  tried  to  get  everything  in  this  book,  and  all  our 
facts  straight  we  acknowledge  that  this  book  is  incomplete  and 
subject  to  error.  To  those  we  have  misplaced,  wronged,  or  ignored 
we  give  our  sincerest  apologies.  However,  we  ore  proud  of  what 
this  year's  staff  has  accomplished  and  feel  it  is  time  to  close  this 
chapter  of  our  lives.  The  2008-2009  school  year  was  filled  with  ups 
and  downs,  highs  and  low,  and  stability  mixed  with  unexpected 
changes,  but  through  it  all  Butler,  its  student,  faculty  and  staff 
weathered  it  all  and  produced  a  good  year.  We  con  only  hope 
that  the  future  will  hold  as  many  good  memories  as  this  one  did. 

Beth  Smedinghoff  and  Kristo  Sorenson 
Editors  of  the  2008-2009  Drift
