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.

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.

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.

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
