Inclement weather prompted university of-ficials to close Butler University’s campus Tues-day and Wednesday.An ‘unprecedented’ winter storm

The National Weather Service issued a Win-ter Storm Warning early Monday evening to re-main in effect through 7 p.m. Wednesday. It said the storm had the potential of dropping more than an inch of ice, and snow accumulation that could exceed 10 inches in the Indianapolis area.

Freezing rain started falling on Butler’s cam-pus around 6 p.m. Monday and ice had collect-ed on cars, roads and sidewalks by 6:45 p.m. indiAnApolis officiAls wArn citizens

This type of storm required preparation from everyone the storm could impact, Joe Wainscott, executive director for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, said in a press release.

“We’re looking at a very powerful storm headed for the heartland and public safety offi-cials will be working around the clock to be pre-pared as possible,” Wainscott said. “We need all Hoosiers to join in the effort. Everyone should take the time we have now before this storm hits to prepare themselves and their families.”

720 people were left without power in the In-dianapolis area as of 11:05 p.m. Tuesday. Power outages were to be expected, Wainscott said.

“With weather systems like this, it’s not un-common to see widespread power outages,” Wainscott said. “While utility companies will be working as hard as they can to repair any out-ages, storms of this size and magnitude often make it very difficult to keep up.”officiAls At Butler prepAre

Ben Hunter, director of Butler’s Emergency Operations Team, started receiving information

late Sunday night in regards to the storm and began planning in case an emergency would arise, but he said the plans do not always work out the way they are written.

“We can plan and plan and plan,” Hunter said. “At any time, though, one little thing could go wrong that could just throw everything off.”

Five buildings on campus are equipped with emergency generators in case of a power out-age.

Butler runs on an independent power plant, located next to Schwitzer Hall. Hunter said that if Butler were to lose power, the buildings most likely to be impacted are those located on the outskirts of campus, including Ross Hall, the Greek houses, University Terrace and the Apartment Village since the power lines are not as thick and more susceptible to breaking under the weight of ice.

In the event that dorms were to lose power, parents and students would be notified through a phone tree system of what to do next.

“We are kind of in a sticky situation,” Hunter said. “We can’t ask students to get in their cars and drive home, so there really is no perfect so-lution to an emergency like this.”

Food services are supplied with enough food to last three days, Hunter said, so there is no worry about the university’s ability to provide food for residential students.

Students on campus were advised to stay in-doors and to avoid leaving campus.

“Your dorm is the safest place on campus in a situation like this,” Hunter said.

Crews were called to campus to start clearing the primary paths and sidewalks for students at about 2 a.m. Tuesday morning.

“We’re going to have people coming in to as-sess the situation, but this is an unprecedented

ice storm, so to an extent, it really doesn’t matter how much we plan,” Hunter said.closing cAmpus And looking AheAd

The storm led the EOT to declare the situa-tion on campus as a “category two emergency.”

According to the Campus Emergency Re-sponse Plan, “A category two event requires response by multiple operational units or divi-sions of the university.”

The EOT met around 3 p.m. Monday to de-termine the precautions to take in case of an emergency situation on campus and made the decision to close campus for the following day by 5 p.m. The resolution to close campus on Wednesday was made at 1 p.m. Tuesday.

“We decided for the safety of our students, our faculty and our staff, that closing campus would be the wisest decision,” Hunter said.

Provost Jamie Comstock, a member of the EOT, helped determine whether or not to close campus or cancel classes.

“Because a decision to close campus and can-cel class impacts thousands of people, we want to make the decision both carefully and deliber-ately,” Comstock said. “Once we make a sound decision regarding how best to balance safety concerns with the student learning concerns, we strive to publish the information as soon as possible.”

Students were informed of the closures through all-campus e-mail and Butler’s Instant Alert Plus system, which is capable of sending 150,000 30-second phone calls and 125,000 text messages directly to the phones of students, fac-ulty and staff in 15 minutes.

According to the National Weather Service, temperatures are not forecasted to reach above freezing until Sunday afternoon, so there is no telling when the snow and ice will start to melt.

BUPDremembers

IMPD officer

The Indianapolis community laid to rest Indianapolis Metropoli-tan Police Department officer Da-vid Moore Tuesday. The 29-year-old died Jan. 26 from injuries sustained from multiple gunshot wounds suf-fered Jan. 23 in the line of duty.

For the country, Moore’s death was part of a gruesome string of unrelated law enforcement shoot-ings. CNN reported 11 U.S. officers were shot in a 24-hour period be-tween Jan. 24-25.

For the city, his death uncovered a mistake by the Indiana Depart-ment of Corrections when spokes-person Doug Garrison said the man accused of shooting Moore, 60-year-old Thomas Hardy, should not have been released from prison after a November arrest.

But for Butler University Police Chief Ben Hunter and Deputy Po-lice Chief Andrew Ryan, his death brought back memories of his life and the loss of another.

“It’s just a void,” Hunter, a for-mer IMPD officer, said. “He truly epitomizes professionalism and integrity. Anytime you lose a col-league, especially someone who works in a department that you’ve been on, it pains you.”

Hunter said the last time he talk-ed to Moore was three weeks ago when he and the officer worked together before a game at Hinkle Fieldhouse doing a bomb sweep, one of the common ways the BUPD works with IMPD.

“I walked with him and we had a chance to talk,” Hunter said. “It’s police stuff. And anybody that walks Hinkle doing the pre-sweep with me always talks about last year’s magic run to the Final Four. I remember a little conversation about that.”

Hunter said he has known the Moore family for the majority of his career. David’s father, Spencer, is a retired IMPD lieutenant and gave him his first assignment when Hunter first got promoted from a patrolman to a sergeant. David’s mother, Jo, a sergeant, worked fre-quently with Hunter because their districts were next to each other.

“IMPD’s a big department, but you get to know pockets of indi-viduals throughout,” Hunter said. “He’s a good kid. He epitomizes everything great about a law en-forcement tradition. Mom and dad are police officers, he went that route and he was a great police of-ficer. I mean, he was Rookie of the Year.”

Ryan said Moore’s death in some ways reminded him of the 2004 death of his former BUPD em-ployee, James Davis, who was shot and killed with his own handgun on Butler’s campus.

“That day changed my life,” Ryan said. “It was like a whirl wind. I experienced something I never thought I’d experience. I was living through the death of one of my employees.

“We lost him and we can never replace him and that’s tragic. But I remember then I hoped that James’ death wasn’t in vain and I remem-ber hoping that some good would come out of it.

“Throughout that course of events, I made friendships and forged new relationships. I never knew his family before that and I view that as a positive thing that never would have happened if it hadn’t been for the tragedy of Da-vis.”

A stricter smoking policy designating specific smoking zones will be-come effective on campus March 1.

The current policy allows smoking anywhere more than 30 feet away from a campus building. The new policy will provide 12 specific smoking zones strategically placed throughout campus. Smoking will be prohibited anywhere outside of these areas.

The areas will be marked with signage in order to eliminate confusion. Sarah Barnes, a smoke free campus committee member, said the smok-

ing policy was reviewed and ultimately changed for a few reasons. “I think the thought of the committee was that this will be a step in the

right direction in terms of improving the health and wellness of our com-munity,” she said.

Barnes also said she hopes this policy is a good compromise for both

Six Butler University students studying with the Institute for Study Abroad are being evacuated from Alexandria, Egypt in light of protests that erupted Jan. 25.

The students arrived in Egypt Jan. 17. They were supposed to spend the spring semester study-ing Arabic language programs, but IFSA-Butler began planning the stu-dents’ evacuations on Sunday.

The pro-democracy protests started in Cairo’s Tahir Square to demand the resignation of Presi-dent Hosni Mubarak, who has been in office since 1981.

As of press time, as many as 300 people have been killed and at least 3,000 have been injured since the start of the riots.

On Saturday, students were ad-vised to stay indoors and avoid

all public gatherings. While some small protests have taken place in Alexandria, the majority of protests are centered in Cairo, about an hour away from where the students are located.

The U.S. State Department issued a warning for American citizens as they travel abroad this weekend.

“Violent demonstrations have occurred in several areas of Cairo, Alexandria and other parts of the country, disrupting road travel be-tween city centers and airports,” the release said. “Disruptions in communications, including Internet service, may occur.

“U.S. citizens currently in Egypt should consider leaving as soon as they can safely do so.”

As of Monday morning, all six Butler students and six University of Wisconsin students were waiting

Butler University appointed Ronald Calt-abiano as the new dean of Jordan College of Fine Arts Jan. 7.

Caltabiano is currently the associate dean of San Francisco State University’s College of Creative Arts, as well as being a contem-porary classical composer of chamber and orchestral music.

“What I liked best were the few moments when I snuck away from the search commit-tee and wandered through the campus to speak with students waiting for classes, hav-ing lunch, letting me interrupt their study time,” he said. “I found serious students who were delighted to be at Butler, who knew that they had made a great choice for their education. The students made me want to be part of the Butler community.”

The composer’s résumé boasts a wide variety of past accomplishments, includ-ing bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral music degrees from The Juilliard School. He has worked as a musician’s assistant with Aaron Copland and worked as a faculty member at several facilities, including Manhattan School of Music, Hong Kong Baptist Uni-versity and Johns Hopkins University’s Pea-body Conservatory.

He has preformed with several different groups, including the San Francisco Sym-phony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Hong Kong Philharmonia, Royal Scottish National Symphony, Juilliard String Quartet, Cham-ber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Fires of London and Chamber Music America.

“[Caltabiano] has impeccable creden-tials,” JCFA Interim Dean Michelle Jarvis said. “His musical composition has been rec-ognized worldwide and the Jordan College looks forward to his arrival,” JCFA Interim Dean Michelle Jarvis said.

Jarvis has acted as interim dean through 2010 after the retirement of Peter Alexander, who served as the JCFA dean for nine years. Jarvis will return to her former position of associate dean of JCFA and Caltabiano will officially begin his work as dean July 1.

Caltabiano discovered his passion for mu-sic at an early age and followed his heart to a career in music.

“To be truly happy in life, you’ve got to find a way to do what you love most,” he said.

Caltabiano described himself as a “base-ment rock drummer” as a kid that, with the inspiration of a much-loved middle school band director, later studied music profes-sionally.

“I had the world’s best junior high band director and she set me off on my life in the

arts,” he said. “In my later teens I started to compose, and although I studied voice and a number of instruments, I found that com-posing was what I loved most.”

Caltabiano said he first visited Butler as a 13-year-old to spend time with his older sister, who had just graduated from the uni-versity.

Years after his first visit, Caltabiano found himself considering the possibility of becom-ing the new dean of JCFA.

He said it was a combination of the great arts programs on campus and the integra-tion of liberal arts studies into all disciplines that inspired him to look into the position.

While interviewing for the dean’s posi-tion, Caltabiano said the campus atmosphere of Butler, in addition to the administrative but “friendly exchanges” over meals, made the job offer seem like the perfect fit.

Caltabiano said he had a lot to learn about JCFA, but he is excited to work with the uni-versity to discover the possibilities and op-portunities that lie in the future of the col-lege.

“I look forward to talking with students and faculty about what they think JCFA can become,” he said. “My job is to bring us all together to accomplish those things.”

Caltabiano said he will miss his friends from San Francisco, but they will remain a part of his life regardless of his location. Meanwhile, he said he is looking forward to living in the Midwest and experiencing a dif-ferent part of the country.

“[I’m excited for] so many things—new friends, new challenges, seasons, snow,” he said. “My dog will love the snow.”

New dean brings new ideas to JCFA

New performing art center named

Butler’s planned 450-seat theater and performing arts

center will be named the Howard L. Schrott Cen-ter for the Performing and Visual Arts. Schrott, a 1976 alum-

nus, announced on Jan. 28 that he will commit $6.5 mil-lion toward the $13 million project.

“This is something I’ve been working on with But-ler over the last six to eight months,” Schrott said. “I feel incredibly exhilarated that we can finally talk about it today.”

Schrott, now a private consultant based in San Francisco, graduated from Butler with a degree in radio and television and a minor in business administration. He went on to law school at Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis and was the chief financial officer of several media companies from 1991-2006. Schrott was CFO of The Liberty Corpora-tion in 2005, when the com-pany was sold to Raycom Media for close to $1 billion.

“Over the years, when I reflect back on how I came to be as fortunate as I’ve been, it was my decision to come to Butler that set trajectory for my career,” Schrott said.

This isn’t the first time Schrott has shown his ap-preciation to Butler through a gift.

The Master Control Room in the Fairbanks Center is named for him, as is the newly endowed Schrott Lec-ture Series for the College of Commu-nication. There is one gift S c h r o t t didn’t re-member g i v i n g , though.

“ M y first gift to Butler was a $10 check in 1 9 7 9 , ” Schrott said. “I don’t remem-ber it but it was on my giving record.

“I guess I’ve come along way since then.”

With his long history of giving, Schrott has devel-oped close relationships within the Office of Univer-sity Advancement. It was through discussions with this office that led to his com-mitment for the theater.

“The theatre is something that has been on the minds of people since I was there,” Schrott said.

When Schrott attended Butler in the 1970s, his radio and television major was part of what was then the Jordan College of Music. A mid-size

theater was a topic of conver-sation then, but Schrott said it has evolved into something more today.

“When I saw what it had evolved into, where it was going to be and understand better the contributions an auditorium this size would

be, not just to Butler and the com-m u n i t y , but to the s t u d e n t s in JCFA, it really caught my attention,” S c h r o t t said.

“Senti-mentally,

I’m still a graduate of the Jor-dan College of Fine Arts.”

Groundbreaking for the project is set for this spring. Schrott’s gift will not only help build the center, but it will be extended throughout his lifetime to help maintain it.

The gift is broken into three parts. Part of the com-mitment was given now, a series of future gifts has been planned throughout Schrott’s lifetime and it will culminate in a final estate gift.

“Butler has become an in-credible institution,” Schrott said. “I want to continue to be a part of it, and be a part of it even when I’m not around.”

Shakespeare had the Globe. New York has the Met. Butler University has Clowes and the Eidson-Duckwall. Now Butler can add another building to its résumé.

The groundbreaking of the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Performing and Visual Arts will begin this spring.

The 450-seat theater will be built on the east-side of Clowes. The the-ater will be used for But-ler Theatre, Butler Ballet and Butler School of Music performances and for Butler art students to display their work.

The performing arts center has been in the works since 1996, ac-cording to Vice Presi-dent of Operations Mike Gardner. The center was the brainchild of former Butler University Presi-dent Geoffrey Bannister, Gardner said.

The Schrott Center is the final part in a four-phase project.

The first phase of the project was the Fair-banks building that was finished in 2001. Next came the Lilly Hall addition in 2003. Following that, the Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall was finished in 2004.

This final part of the project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2012.

The four-phase plan has been a 15-year evolution, Gardner said. During that time, “inflation has killed [the project].”

Gardner said the design for the new per-forming arts center was revised four or five times. Changes and reductions were made as the budget changed, such as eliminating the set shop in the new center’s plan.

The design team tried to keep the seating capacity and the stage size consistent, he said.

“[The Schrott] center fills the gap here of a mid-size space, which allows us a neat venue for all three departments,” Gardner said.

Gardner said his role on the project is liai-son among the designers, architect firm and construction firm.

“I am sad to be leaving Butler and not see-ing this project all the way through,” Gard-ner, who is leaving at the end of February, said.

“I will still be in the area, though, and I plan on being at the ribbon-cutting ceremo-ny.”

Along with Gardner, Craig Hardee, senior construction project manager, has worked closely with the planning of the new theater.

Hardee said he describes the planning of the Schrott Center as a collaborative effort.

“We’re all really excited,” he said.

The collaborative focus of the project pro-vided an opportunity for coming up with solutions in the design to meet the needs of those who will be benefitting from the center, such as the JCFA students and faculty, Hard-ee said.

Hardee said the most challenging parts of the whole project have been the timeline and dealing with all of the different changes over

the years.One of the changes

Hardee spoke of was the changing of the chairs and deans in the JCFA.

“New people bring new ideas and per-spectives,” Hardee said.

One of those peo-ple is JCFA Interim Dean Michelle Jarvis, who said she has been involved since 1986 when she first came to Butler and worked on the design for a mid-sized theater for the

college.“We are most excited that it’s coming into

fruition,” Jarvis said. “It makes such a beauti-ful arts quadrant.

“It is extremely meaningful that it’s going to be here.”

Jarvis said she is currently part of the team that is making sure to bring what the JCFA needs into this new performing arts center.

“[The Schrott Center] is such a wonderful opportunity for the students to really fine-tune their craft,” she said. “It will allow them to work and experiment more and build their careers.”

Jarvis said an important part of career-building for JCFA students is practicing per-formance and exhibition, which is what they will get from the new center.

“Getting the space to serve [all the differ-ent arts departments] has been the biggest challenge,” Jarvis said. “But I think we’re there. I think we’ve done a fine job.”

Jarvis said that she’s sure the use of the space will go beyond the JCFA, such as being a place to bring speakers and other outside acts to campus.

The next most pressing step for the cam-pus project is finalizing the project plan, which is “99.8 percent complete,” according to Hardee. The final budget meeting will come next followed by actually getting the project underway this spring.

“I think students will find the opportunity to collaborate more among themselves [in the new Schrott Center] and build the communi-ty of artists even further here in the Jordan College” Jarvis said. “I think that will clearly lead us to the future of the arts.”

Fueled by dreams of em-powerment, Butler students are leading a campaign called “Be Haiti” to raise $100,000 to bring health services to the people of Les Cayes, Haiti, through the development of a clinic for women and chil-dren.

Les Cayes is a city located in southwestern Haiti that was damaged by the January 2010 earthquake. It is also the hometown of 4th-year physi-cian assistant major Ketura Isidor.

Isidor and 2008 Butler graduate Michael Hole for-mulated the “Be Haiti” cam-paign, which has the im-mediate goal of expanding a current clinic into a health center for women and chil-dren.

Isidor’s family is very in-volved in the community of Les Cayes. They own the Children of Israel Orphan-age, which houses 30 chil-dren.

Her father was the presi-dent of a Lutheran church in the city, and she said his “dynamic personality” has inspired her to want to want to help others.

To raise awareness for the campaign, Isidor and Hole, along with Butler students senior political science and international studies major Marcus Hagberg and senior biology and Spanish major Tori Morken, have devel-oped a plan which includes a “Be Haiti” week, set to begin March 5.

“Be Haiti” week will in-clude a kickoff event, a cul-tural evening and a panel discussion. The goal is to raise awareness in the Butler and Indianapolis community so that funding can be raised for the health center. Once that goal is reached, students can continue to set new goals.

“Overall, we need $100,000 and we have a goal of raising $25,000 at Butler,” Hagberg said. “I know it’s ambitious, but I think that the students are up to it.”

Morken agrees.“I’ve seen the amazing

things that our student orga-nizations can do in their in-dividual efforts. I can’t even imagine what would be pos-sible if they all joined forces,” Morken said.

The students are also working to get grants from companies in Indianapolis to

contribute to the funds.“The project itself is a

humanitarian’s dream,” Morken said. “With such a strong international partner, the vast potential for commu-nity empowerment and the possibility for continued col-laboration, the efforts of ‘Be Haiti’ meet every standard necessary for success.”

The students are also plan-ning to send out a letter to all Butler students. The purpose is to inform the Butler com-

munity about the “Be Haiti” campaign, and in turn, hope-fully each Butler student will then pass along what they have learned to two more people.

Last week, the students also launched a website for the campaign, at www.behaiti.com.

“Our current goal is the clinic, but that’s not the whole point of the campaign,” Isidor said. “This campaign is about empowerment and

showing other people that they have the ability to help others.”

Isidor, Morken, Hagberg and Hole all said they hope to unite the Butler communi-ty to reach the goals said they have set for the campaign.

“It is our vision to unite the influential student lead-ers we have here at Butler,” Morken said. “To work to-gether toward a common goal, one that might hit closer to home than you think.”

The start of a new semester can be a great opportunity for students looking for employment through Butler, but school officials say that it may be a little more difficult to find a job this semester because they’re in high demand.

Student Employment Coordinator Liz Freedman said that the on-campus employment outlook is mostly a reflection of the real-world job market.

In addition to the gloomy economic climate, Freedman said the combination of factors such as high student volume, slow department growth and students keeping the same job throughout their college career may make finding a job on campus more difficult than before.

“This year, it’s very competitive for on-campus jobs,” Freedman said. “They are very limited.”

She stressed that students should get their résumé cri-tiqued and consistently network with professors and class-mates to find out about jobs that may not be listed online.

“[At] the beginning of every semester, more jobs are in abundance,” Freedman said. “Word of mouth is very big on campus and that’s how you’ll find a lot of jobs that aren’t vis-ible on B.L.U.E.”

While regular jobs may be hard to snatch up, this semes-ter in particular has offered new, expanded opportunities for students eligible to participate in the work-study program.

Butler has added three new organizations this year.Among these are new opportunities are positions with or-

ganizations such as the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and Humane Society of Indianapolis. Freedman recommends that students log on to the B.L.U.E. Network to get a list of the full range of opportunities available to them.

For students looking to stay on campus, Freedman said that there is still a variety of employment opportunities fa-miliar to students. Opportunities are usually available at the bookstore, Irwin Library, the HRC, Starbucks, Atherton Union, the Butler Telefund and residence halls, as well as partnerships with professors and jobs in academic offices.

For students who are unsure if they’ll be able to balance work and school responsibilities, Freedman still recommends trying an on-campus job for the flexibility in hours that they offer.

“I firmly believe that you’re a student first, but I think tak-

ing on a job in addition to your classes is an amazing idea,” Freedman said. “Your education is going to be essential and you’re also going to need professional development, commu-nication skills and a sense of responsibility.”

She added that student employment can often lead to making meaningful connections that may be useful post-graduation.

Senior elementary education major Peter Renwick said that a job helps him in more ways than one.

“Juggling a job and school is setting me up for the real world,” he said. “I love hearing about alumni’s experiences at Butler.”

Mary Kate Hattenberger, manager of the Butler Call Cen-ter, said that working at the Butler Telefund offers the advan-tages of flexible scheduling while also being a great résumé builder. The Telefund is just one of many on-campus jobs where students help raise money for scholarships, technol-ogy, athletics and more.

“Working at Butler Telefund enables you to work for a meaningful and worthwhile cause calling alumni, parents and friends of Butler University,” Hattenberger said.

Freedman agreed and said the variety and scope of on-campus employment offers something for everyone.

“Every student can find a type of job on campus that fits their interest,” she said.

According the IFSA web-site, the decision to move the students out of Egypt was a difficult one to make.

“Though we felt that our students were safe in Alex-andria, we cannot run a pro-gram at this time because the university is closed indefi-nitely until the political situ-ation stabilizes,” the site said.

The students will be of-fered alternate program op-tions located at “Southern-Hemisphere universities” so they will still be able to earn a full semester of credit.

“I think that for those that don’t like being around smoke and who are concerned about the health effects of ingesting secondhand smoke, it will be a welcome change,” she said. “I also hope for those who do choose to smoke, that they feel there are enough places that are strategically placed on campus for them to do so.”

Barnes said the committee originally was interested in determining whether Butler could convert to a smoke-free campus.

“It didn’t seem like the campus commu-nity was ready to embrace a smoking ban on campus,” she said. “I think any step we can take to reduce the community’s exposure to secondhand smoke is a good one.”

Senior Josh Bedel said he supports the new smoking policy because he felt the old policy provided too many smoking areas.

“The new policy still allows the smokers on campus the freedom to smoke, but more so away from higher traffic areas where the secondhand smoke might be a nuisance or a problem to someone with allergies or asth-ma,” he said.

Junior Mike Moore said the policy will have little impact on the campus environ-ment unless it is enforced. He doesn’t think enforcing this policy will be easy for the uni-versity.

“Unless the administration realizes that the policy isn’t being enforced and formu-lates effective strategies to encourage its en-forcement, I don’t think the policy will be ef-fective,” he said.

Sophomore Kyle Faulkner agrees that the policy doesn’t do much without enforcement.

“Until there are enforcers of the policy, people will continue to carry on their normal routines,” he said.

Faulkner said a smoke-free campus would be the only way to actually improve the cam-pus environment.

“Given the controversy, especially among students,” he said, “I just don’t think that’s practical.”

Faulkner said that the Butler community needs to hold each other accountable.

“Until that happens,” he said, “It seems as if the policies, unfortunately, are just another line in the handbook that no one pays atten-tion to.”

Saving kids, breaking recordsIt was a record-breaking

12 hours, in more ways than one.

270 Butler students and community members stood for 12 straight hours Sat-urday in an effort to raise money for Riley Hospital for Children as a part of Butler University Dance Marathon. Collectively, they raised more than $100,000, surpass-ing last year’s total by more than $20,000.

The money goes towards cancer research and daily op-erations at Riley.

Kevin O’Keefe, president and CEO of Riley Children’s Foundation, opened the marathon by putting fund-raising efforts into perspec-tive. He said 120 children at Riley were moved into a new building this week because of fundraising efforts.

“We can only do things like that because we have great friends like you who care enough about the kids to come together and raise money for them,” O’Keefe said.

An oncologist from Riley said she is thankful for the money that, in part, helps fund additional research.

“I also see the small things that we do with your money, like help a kid celebrate his birthday when he or she has to spend it in the hospital,” she said.

A mother of a Riley pa-tient told dancers that it’s the small things that make a dif-ference for families at Riley.

“Every dime you raise makes a difference for a Riley kid. Don’t ever think that it doesn’t,” she said.

Sophomore Ally Pauszek, family relations chair for BUDM, said she has seen the direct impact BUDM can have on patients and their families.

“Riley children inspire me

daily that anything is pos-sible,” she said.

Pauszek said this year’s fundraising is sure to make a difference for the kids.

“I think this year we will be able to make the greatest impact yet,” she said.

President of BUDM senior Hilary Broderick said the most obvious impact Butler has on Riley is monetary, but that isn’t the most important.

“I think the biggest impact it has is on the students and

families that directly partici-pate,” she said. “It has a had a huge impact on my college experience through the peo-ple I’ve met.

“It’s changed the way I see my own life.”

While BUDM is filled with meaning, it also has a silly side.

Broderick said the atmo-sphere at BUDM is unlike anything else.

“It’s constantly upbeat and fun with an undertone

of meaning,” she said. “It’s a celebration of life and what we students can do to sup-port a hospital that makes a difference in so many peo-ple’s lives.”

This year participants broke five world records in the process. They broke the world’s largest leap frog line record, the world’s largest group singing “Row Row Row Your Boat,” in a round and the world’s largest group do-ing the “running man.”

They also broke the re-cord for the world’s largest zumba dance, as well as the record for most world record attempts made in one hour at a 12-hour marathon.

Dancers proudly wore purple wristbands pledg-ing to “stand for those who can’t.” They also learned a dance medley throughout the day of which was“for the kids,” as the organization’s motto proclaims.

BUDM has adopted an additional motto, a set of ini-tials: SMC.

The letters stand for Sarah Michelle Cohen, a young woman who passed away less than two years ago.

Her brother Ben is a 2010 Butler graduate who spoke at Saturday’s event.

“Even though she [Sarah] can’t be here tonight, I know that she is here in spirit with every one of you,” he said. “Keeping ‘SMC’ as part of Butler Dance Marathon means so much for me and my family.”

Ben and Sarah’s moth-er also said the marathon means a lot to her.

“I just want you to know that what you are doing by standing on your feet and thinking about the children and helping the doctors at Riley Hospital means more to me and our family and so many people that aren’t able to come up and share their story,” she said.

The overall theme for the night was “Willy Wonka.” Every hour, families from Riley Children’s Hospital came and talked about their experience. Also, every hour, a group of danc-

ers called “Morale” would teach a new part of a dance medley. At the end of the event, all of the participants

danced the entire routine. Here is the rest of the schedule. The timeline:—10am-11am Intro/Sign In, The medley dance was revealed. The first two sections were taught. Oompa-Loompa-themed hour.

The breakdown of the marathon’s

events

Break causes freshmen to readjustEagerness to please, anxiety to begin,

and motivation to improve are the feel-ings many Butler freshmen have about starting up school again after their first winter break.

For most college freshmen this break was the first of its kind. With four weeks to themselves, students can fo-cus on other things besides school.

“Break was fun,” Jessica Giaquinto a freshman pre-pharmacy major said. “I saw family, visited friends at other col-leges and caught up on a lot of sleep.”

Although the break may have been a chance to catch up on some much need-ed sleep, some like Giaquinto thought break was too long.

“The rest was nice, but after a while, home got boring and I was eager to get back to Butler to see my friends,” she said.

Other freshmen, like integrated com-munications major Larry Don, agree with Giaquinto, and said although the rest was nice, they missed their Butler home and the college life.

“After New Year’s Eve, when all my friends started going back to school, I was ready to go back to Butler,” Don said. “Not to mention, I was getting

sick of my parents rules and wanted some freedom back.”

With one semester under their belt, some freshmen have more of a handle of what being in college is like. Coming back from such a long break can make it hard to get back to the books, though.

“I definitely find myself less moti-vated because of the long break,” Julia Gresik, a freshman French major said. “Now that I know what to expect, I’m not as nervous about not succeeding.”

While Gresik and others are pleased with their success from last semester and believe that will carry over, some students came back even more moti-vated to improve on last semester’s performance.

“I’m not going to slack off the first couple weeks like last semester,” Don said. “I know I can do better.”

Along with changing study habits, freshmen have the option to make an-other change as they come back from break.

Going through formal Greek recruit-ment is an option that brings some stu-dents back to campus a week earlier than everyone else.

The shorter break isn’t the only thing on students’ plates as they decide to go Greek.

“At first there was more involve-ment than I expected,” Gresik said. “However, now I’ve gotten a better sense of what there going to ask me to do and it is not as time consuming.”

Like Gresik, Giaquinto found soror-ity life to be demanding.

“Joining a sorority is time consum-ing, but my sisters are understanding when I have to miss a meeting because of school work or a study session,” Gia-quinto said.

Joining a Greek house can also mo-tivate you to do better in school with minimum GPA requirements and man-datory study tables in some houses.

“My fraternity has study tables twice a week for two to three hours, so I’ve been doing most of my homework there,” Don said.

Whether it’s juggling school with Greek life, or just trying to get accli-mated to college again after break, freshmen students are having mixed feelings.

After the first long break and formal recruitment, Gresik said she’s strug-gling to stay motivated after having so much time off.

“In some ways it feels like senioritis all over again,” she said.

Archives offers new perspective for campus publications

Two English majors will act as editors-in-chief for Butler University’s first student-run humor magazine, Archives.

Senior English major Farhad Anwarzai is the mastermind behind the new campus circular, which was released last week.

“We were just talking about the options for people who wanted to write and it hit me that we really don’t have anything like this,” Anwarzai said.

In November, Anwarzai shared his idea with sophomore English writing major Eric Ellis, who decided to get in on the project.

“I thought it was a great idea, and it was something that I wanted to be a part of,” Ellis said. “It’s not something that we’ve ever done before, but it’s something that interested me.”

In the following weeks, Anwarzai and Ellis compiled a group of six other undergraduate students and two graduate students to create the editorial staff for Archives.

The staff started meeting every Friday to discuss what they wanted for the project.“We would just bounce ideas off of each other back and forth,” Anwarzai said. “If someone

were to walk by one of our meetings, you would never think that we were putting together a magazine.”

The staff approached the Student Government Association in December to receive approv-al and to receive funding for the project and future issues.

“We all really got together and said, ‘Okay, this is what we want and we’re going to do

whatever we can to get it done,’” Anwarzai said. After receiving the funding and approval necessary, the staff started putting the first issue together.

“It’s been tough,” Ellis said. “It’s a big project to take on, but I’m really glad that it all came together.”

Ellis designed and laid out the first issue on his computer while Anwarzai did the editing and handled the business aspect of the issue.

For future issues, though, Ellis said he is hoping to get art students involved.“To bring someone like an art student in would add a design aspect to the magazine that

would be unique,” Ellis said.Archives will serve as an entertainment magazine for the Butler community. It features

things like fake movie reviews, funny horoscopes and satirical pieces.“In our meetings, we just talk and if something makes us laugh, we write it down and then

we write an article about it,” Anwarzai said.Though the editorial staff has already been meeting, Ellis said they are always looking for

contributing writers.“New people bring completely different and new ideas, so the more we hear from other

people, the more variety we’ll get,” Ellis said.The editors hope to reach outside of the Butler bubble in to bring in contributing writers

and readers.“We want this to be something that every student and even people in the Indianapolis

community can engage with,” Anwarzai said. “That is our primary goal.”

Although Moore didn’t work for BUPD, Ryan said many of the officers have gone on runs with him, and that he hopes his officers can learn something from Moore’s death.

“Anytime there’s an offi-cer killed or hurt in the line of duty, I’m hoping there’s something we can take out of that,” Ryan said. “With this hitting so close to home, I hope it’s reminding the staff that they can’t become too complacent. We need to be aware of people who want to do us harm.”

Ryan said the past week has also made him realize how dangerous the officers’ jobs are.

“We can try to avoid situ-ations like this, but there are some things you just can’t prevent,” Ryan said. “We can’t take anything for grant-ed and we always have to be diligent and vigilant.”

Although Ryan said he hopes something good will come out of this, it doesn’t

change the fact that Moore’s death is tragic.

“It’s very senseless and tragic and I have a hard time processing why this hap-pened,” Ryan said. “No one should be taken from the prime of his life like that.”

In spite of the icy weather, Moore’s funeral was held at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Conseco Fieldhouse downtown. Indi-anapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, Public Safety Director Frank Straub and Police Chief Paul Ciesielski were in attendance. Moore’s father delivered the eulogy.

Hunter helped spear-head plans for a reception for Moore’s family and col-leagues for Tuesday evening. A BUPD officer reported the event was canceled Tuesday because of inclement weather conditions.

Moore will be buried in the Heroes of Public Safety section of Crown Hill Cem-etary near the IMPD Time Capsule, the inscription on which he helped write.

OVERTIME

S p o r t s fans loudly cheer for b u z z e r -b e a t i n g shots and the game-w i n n i n g

touchdown, but one thing they silently acknowl-edge is effort, essentially because they expect it.

Effort leads to all those amazing shots and catch-es, so perhaps the praise is implied. Still, fans tend to acknowledge a lack of effort with boos far more often than they cheer the presence of it.

The country saw evi-dence of this when Chi-cago Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler had to leave the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers. Or rather, when he chose to leave the game.

Cutler left the game in the third quarter for what was simply reported at the time as a knee injury. As the game progressed, broadcasters for FOX heard that Cutler thought he had injured it

Women’s basketball splits HL weekend

The Butler women’s basketball team defeated Milwaukee Saturday after losing a tough contest last Thursday to Green Bay at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

The women were able to bounce back when they hosted the Panthers (7-13, 4-5 HL).

The Bulldogs (14-7, 8-1 HL) knocked the Panthers under .500 in the conference with a 72-64 victory.

In the process, Butler also gave Couture her 400th ca-reer win.

“It’s an accomplishment that I was able to reach be-cause I’ve been fortunate to work for two great schools in Presbyterian and Butler,” Couture said. “I’ve been for-tunate enough to work with great assistant coaches and coach a lot of great players.”

Couture, who is in her ninth year as the Butler head coach, previously coached at Presbyterian College in South Carolina for 13 sea-sons.

It proved to be a night to remember for junior guard Devin Brierly as well, who scored a career-high 19 points.

“Devin realizes that we

need her to score,” Couture said. “She was very aggres-sive.”

Senior forward Chloe Hamilton and senior guard Alyssa Pittman also helped propel the Bulldogs to an important conference win

by combining for 15 points.Sophomore forward Bec-

ca Bornhorst led Butler with seven rebounds.

The Bulldogs turned the ball over a season low eight times Saturday, which was a major difference from two

days before against Green Bay

The No. 21/16 Phoenix (20-1, 9-0 HL) began the game tied with the Bulldogs for first place in the Horizon League.

While the outcome wasn’t what the Bulldogs had hoped for, a 66-62 loss, Couture said she was proud of her team’s effort and re-silience.

“We were close,” she said. “There are no moral victo-ries, but if we put halves together, who knows what would have happened?”

Butler, who was down by at least 10 points sev-eral times throughout the game, never gave up. Their defense swarmed and their offense was efficient at key times during in the game to make things close near the end.

“I thought our press helped us,” Couture said. “We made some key steals that we were able to capital-ize off of.”

Hamilton scored 26 points and picked up 10 re-bounds for her fourth dou-ble-double of the season.

Hamilton did not miss a shot from the field, finishing the game 11-for-11.

“Chloe did what a senior

should do—step up and make plays when her team needed her to,” Green Bay head coach Matt Bollant said.

The rest of the Bulldogs, however, provided little help.

The Bulldogs had more rebounds and fewer turn-overs than the Phoenix but did not make use of the ad-vantage. The Bulldogs shot 11-for-42 without Hamilton.

Senior guard Brittany Bowen led that support with 17 points on 6-of-15 shooting, and senior guard Alyssa Pittman scored nine.

Green Bay had two play-ers score more than 20 points—senior guard Ce-leste Hoewisch and junior forward Julie Wojta.

Couture said that they could take away some posi-tive things from the Green Bay game.

“We’re going to learn from this game and finish off the season strong,” Cou-ture said.

The Bulldogs host De-troit (9-11, 3-6 HL) Thurs-day at Hinkle Fieldhouse at 7 p.m., and Wright State (13-7, 6-3 HL) Saturday for their annual Pink Zone Game to promote breast cancer awareness.

Snape to coach men’s soccer

On the heels of one of the best men’s soccer seasons in school history, Butler named Paul Snape as the program’s new head coach.

The former University of Michigan associate head coach fills the va-cancy left when Kelly Findley accepted the head coaching job at North Carolina State last month.

Butler received more than 200 applications after Findley left, according to associate athletic director Beth Goetz, who chaired the search commit-tee.

“His passion and character really set him aparty from everyone else,” Goetz said. “We wanted someone who is driven for success but also un-derstands the philosophy we keep here in the athletic department.”

Last season, Snape helped the Wolverines to their first Big Ten tourna-ment title and a spot in the 2010 NCAA Division I College Cup Final Four.

“Snape has been a star for us at Michigan,” Michigan head coach Steve Burns said. “He is a top recruiter with a great eye for talent, he connects with people on a very human level and he is a tireless worker that helped raise the level of our program over the last eight seasons.”

After six years as an assistant coach at Michigan, Snape was promoted to associate head coach in 2009.

“We’re excited to have Paul join our staff,” Butler athletic director Bar-ry Collier said. “He’s been part of a very successful program at Michigan and he’s had an instrumental role in developing Michigan talent.

“We’ve had tremendous success in our men’s soccer program and we feel that Paul is the right person to keep us moving forward.”

Stevens selected as USA assistant

Butler men’s basketball head coach Brad Stevens has accom-plished more in four years than many do in a career.

The 34-year-old head coach has been the Horizon League Coach of the Year twice, earned the best Di-vision I coaching record in the first three seasons (89-15), recorded his 100th career win faster than all but five Division I coaches and led the Bulldogs to the 2010 NCAA Divi-sion I Men’s Basketball Chmpion-ship.

He can now add another distinc-tion to that list: being named an as-sistant coach of the 2011 USA Men’s World University Games team.

Stevens was selected Jan. 20 for the job by the USA Basketball Junior National Team Committee.

The World University Games will be held Aug. 12-23, in Shen-zhen, China. The U.S. team will compete for a gold medal against opponents from all over the world.

Basketball Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim is the head of the com-mittee that selected Stevens as a coach.

“Brad Stevens and Cuonzo Mar-tin—another assistant for the World University Games team—are two of the best young head coaches in NCAA basketball,” Boeheim said.

“I was honored and humbled to be selected,” Stevens said. “I thought I might be getting a call [to be a coach] this year after they had me as a court coach last year.

“I’m looking forward to it and I think [being selected to the staff] will hit me as we get further along.”

Stevens will work alongside Martin, Missouri State’s head coach, and Matt Painter, Purdue’s head coach, who were named assis-tant and head coaches for the team, respectively.

“I’m excited to work with them,” Stevens said. “They come from the same background, they’ve coached together and they do things the right way.

“I respect both of them and it will be good to take in the experience.”

Stevens, who has been involved

with Butler basketball since the 2000-01 season, isn’t sure how his experiences with the Bulldogs would help him in China.

“I don’t know what they’ll want me to do,” Stevens said. “I’ll do whatever Matt wants me to do and I’ll assist him as I can.”

On the opposite end of the spec-trum, Stevens is confident that his time spent working for the World University Games team will be ben-eficial to him as a coach.

“There’s no doubt [the experi-ence] will help,” he said. “Spend-ing 23 days watching, coaching and scouting basketball in August, when most coaches are at home re-charging their batteries, will be an unbelievable opportunity.”

A training camp will be held July 30-Aug. 8 to select 12 players for the team’s roster.

With that in mind, Stevens be-lieves there is a key difference in how he, Painter and Cuonzo will have to coach the team.

“We really need to emphasize what the players have to do,” Ste-vens said. “We’re only going to be together for three and a half weeks, so we have to be solid [as a team].”

With all of the success that Ste-vens has attained, one might think that he would sit back and take some time to pat himself on the back.

But that’s not Stevens way.“I’ve never really taken the time

to rank my accomplishments,” Ste-vens said.

Stevens also realizes there is some time between now and his trip to China. When he gets there, however, he expects to be hard at work more often than not.

“I haven’t looked at where the games will be,” Stevens said. “I’ve never been to China and I’m look-ing forward to going there, but I’m guessing there won’t be any time for things outside of coaching.”

In the end, Stevens, whose con-tract with Butler lasts through the 2021-22 season, knows where his priorities lie.

“I’ll worry about [the World Uni-versity Games] later,” Stevens said. “I’m focusing on this team [Butler] 110 percent right now.”

Soccer star Hedges transfers

Butler men’s soccer starting center back and junior Matt Hedges has transferred to the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

Communications on his Facebook page eluded to the transfer and two sources later confirmed the news, one saying that Hedges made the decision to transfer in December.

Last year, Hedges was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-America Second Team, making him the first non-senior to receive any

All-American honor.Hedges was also named to the College Soccer News

All-America Third Team and the Horizon League’s De-fensive Player of the Year.

Hedges started all 20 games for the Bulldogs, im-pacting games mostly by denying opponents’ crosses.

Hedges also had some offensive highlights, scoring five goals and notching two assists in 2010.

Butler men’s soccer had its first undefeated regular season in 2010, going 16-0-3 before losing to Michigan State, 1-0, in the second round of the NCAA tourna-ment.

Valpo outlasts Butler in OTThe Butler men’s basketball team will need to find their

way out of the doghouse after losing their second overtime game in six days.

Hoping to recover from their home loss against Milwau-kee, the Bulldogs (14-8, 6-4 HL) found themselves in a similar predicament in their next conference game.

“We never dwell on a loss,” freshman forward Khyle Mar-shall said when asked how his team responded to the disap-pointing outcome of the Milwaukee game. “We just get right back at it, learn the team and go out with a focus to improve on what we did wrong the game before.”

On the road facing the conference-leading Valparaiso Cru-saders, the Bulldogs got off to a hot start.

They snatched the upper hand in the first half and led by as many as eight points, although that lead was cut to five by halftime.

Things looked promising for Butler in the early minutes of the second half, as the Bulldogs went on a 9-0 run, brought on by eight consecutive points from senior guard Zach Hahn. Butler took its biggest lead of the game, 40-31, with 15:50 re-maining.

Unfortunately, the Crusaders rebutted as senior forward Ryan Broekhoff gave Valpo its biggest lead of the game, 66-58, with a three-point field goal with 3:29 left.

Nevertheless, the Bulldogs stormed back with a 9-1 clos-ing run, sparked by senior guard Shawn Vanzant and junior guard Ronald Nored.

However, Butler struggled late, allowing a nine-point lead to slip away in the final three-and-a-half minutes of regula-

tion.Valparaiso senior guard Brandon Wood led the Crusaders’

charge, stopped only by Butler senior forward Matt How-ard’s game-tying three-point play with 30 seconds remaining.

Neither team was able to take an advantage and the game ran into overtime.

“I feel that a team should always already be prepared to head into overtime,” Butler head coach Brad Stevens said. “Overtime is about recognizing the job that needs to be done and executing at the right time.”

The Crusaders grabbed the lead in overtime on a layup by senior guard Matt Kenney and a 3-point field goal by Broek-hoff.

Butler was unable to successfully play catch-up, allowing the Crusaders to clinch the victory and remain in the league lead. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to fourth in the stand-ings.

“We need that defensive edge back,” Howard said. “I felt that we did some really good things on both the offensive and defensive sides of the game, but we really misread some of their players and gave up a few too many good posses-sions.”

Despite the loss, the Bulldogs will be back on the road Thursday to play Youngstown State, followed by Cleveland State on Saturday.

“We have to worry about getting there first, with the air-ports closed and the roads in such bad shape,” Stevens said. “But once there, we’ll be ready to get back on track.

“These games are essential, and it’s important that we take advantage of them heading towards the last quarter of the season.”

Women’s tennis falls to FalconsThe Butler women’s tennis team will need

to retrace their steps after starting the 2011 season on the wrong foot.

With a pair of home losses during the weekend, the Bulldogs dropped a 7-0 match to Miami (Ohio) on Saturday before losing to Bowling Green by the same score the next day.

The Bulldogs (0-2) started the weekend with their season opener and a loss to a strong Miami team.

Senior Natali Jaimes and freshman Caro-line Hedrick were the highlight of Butler’s doubles play, winning, 8-2, in the No. 2 match.

Despite those efforts, the RedHawks won the other two matches to win the point.

Miami won five of six matches in singles play, each coming in straight sets.

Senior Gabriella Bobrowski led Butler with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 scoring drive in the No. 4 seed singles match to defeat Miami senior Riekie Honiball.

When asked about her team’s perfor-mance, Jaimes seemed optimistic concerning the outcome.

“Miami is a team that won the MAC last year and is the preseason favorite to win it again this year,” she said. “I feel we competed very well at spots to make for an interesting match. “

The Bulldogs finished the weekend in sim-ilar fashion.

This bout, however, was much closer than

the preceding contest. The duel took about five hours to finish, with two matches going three sets and one to a second-set tiebreaker.

Freshmen Gabriella Rubenstien and fresh-man Stephanie McLoughlin won, 9-8 (5), in No. 1 doubles for Butler’s only win of the day.

“Bowling Green is always a solid team and I think we let them off the hook in multiple matches this year,” head coach Jason Suscha said. “It’s kind of amazing that we lost 7-0 in a match that lasted over five-and-a-half hours.”

Jaimes, Bobrowski and sophomore Brit-tany Farmer were each competitive in singles play. Each was on the cusp of winning before falling in three sets.

“Our women’s team played well, but our ability to finish points, games and matches

will have to improve if we want to compete for a conference championship,” Suscha said. “It is nice to know that we have the firepower to compete with anyone, so my job is to get everyone confident in their ability to close the deal.”

The Bulldogs have another double-header this weekend when they host Dayton on Sat-urday and Indiana University on Sunday.

Regardless of the opponent Jaimes feels confident going into next weekend’s games.

“As long as we learned from this weekend and we improve upon those things, we will develop nicely as the season progresses,” she said. “This team has great chemistry and is a real joy to be around everyday, so the envi-ronment is primed for excellence.”

OVERTIME: JAY CUTLER’S EARLY EXIT EXPOSED WHAT FANS REALLY WANT TO SEE.continued from page 5

sometime in the second quarter, but that he wasn’t sure of the exact play.

The injury had Cutler stranded on the sidelines, standing expressionless in one of those long winter coats.

The majority of fans were outraged by this development. I’m sure the Bears losing had a lot to do with it, but a lack of effort did too.

This issue has two parts: facts and perceptions. Both com-pose the reality that is the Jay Cutler and Bears fans world right now.

First, here are the facts:The Bears were down 14-0 when Cutler left the game.

They performed better in the final 18 minutes with third-string quarterback Caleb Hanie.

It turns out Cutler had a grade 2, medium or partial, MCL

tear.Teammates defended his toughness and the existence of

a serious injury.Now, here is the perception:It seemed like Cutler quit. Many Bears fans expressed this

during the week that followed the NFC Championship loss, saying how they were not too keen on the early exit.

The fact that Cutler is also known for his inconsistency and spent most of the second half standing expressionless on the sidelines didn’t help either.

“It just always seems like it’s ‘Good Jay this’ or ‘Bad Jay that,’” Butler junior and Bears fan Stefania Nikoloski said. “That good/bad game is getting old.”

Former and current NFL players shared a similar opin-ion, one on the same side of the issue.

Trent Dilfer, a 1997 Pro Bowler and quarterback of the Su-per Bowl XXXV-winning Baltimore Ravens, was not heated and did not jump to conclusions in his discussion of the in-jury, but even he said, “Regardless of what the injury is, you have to finish this game.”

Former lineman Mike Golic chimed in on ESPN Radio. “You would’ve had to have dragged my dead body off

the field to get me out of an NFC Championship game,” Golic said.

Additionally, like all great celebrity opinions in this digi-tal era, they were expressed on Twitter.

The Twitterverse exploded with players giving their un-edited opinions.

Another former lineman, Mark Schlereth, spoke about playing with an injured knee on the website. It said, “As a guy [who] had 20 knee surgeries you’d have to drag me out on a stretcher to leave a Championship Game! #justsaying.”

Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders said he expect-ed to see the surgery on Cutler’s knee live on television to prove the injury’s existence and severity.

Maurice Jones-Drew simultaneously took a shot at Cut-ler and former University of Florida football coach Urban Meyer: “Hey I think the urban meyer rule is in effect right now… When the going gets tough……..Quit.”

Jones-Drew is a former UCLA player currently trapped amongst Florida Gator fans as the Jacksonville Jaguars run-ning back, so there is an unabated emotional side to his re-sponse.

However, his brutal honesty exemplified what sports fans truly care about: a display of effort above and beyond what any of them would show.

The fans want to see something greater than them-selves—not a jacket-donning, partially-injured quarterback who wasn’t winning the game in the first place.

When watching sports, I am always a fan, not a fanatic. I

see the game from a very intellectual perspective and tend to naturally experience the game as if I’m making the coach-ing decisions. I don’t understand the fans that scream at the referees for a good call against their team, and I shake my head at coaches who use timeouts at inapproriate times.

But I am with fans and fanatics alike on this issue. Cutler should have tried to grin and bear it through more of the second half.

If he had to leave the game when he did, I don’t need to see him carried off the field on a stretcher or constantly grimacing on the sidelines to confirm a serious and play-ending injury.

However, as much as the doctors may have told him not to play, he should have told them he was going back into the game, or at least sat down and iced his knee.

Fans and analysts alike are not mad that Cutler got in-jured, and they’re not entirely mad that he wasn’t shown putting up a fight to re-enter the game by FOX.

They’re upset because it seemed like he didn’t care about getting back in the game or its outcome. I never once noticed him suggesting adjustments to coaches or mentoring either of the quarterbacks who replaced him.

The effort just wasn’t there.It’s easy to understand Cutler’s early exit from a medical

standpoint, but it is incredibly difficult to respect his reac-tions and demeanor post-injury.

It was a meet to remember for sophomore Kirsty Legg when the Butler men’s and women’s track teams were in Bloomington, Ind., last weekend for the Indiana Relay.

Legg, who competed in the 800 meter run and the mile this weekend, took second in both and built upon her already impressive resume.

“We have a few people running at a na-tional level, which is definitely a good thing,” head coach Matt Roe said.

Legg, after this weekend, is ranked 15th nationally in the 800 meter.

Senior Kris Gauson also had a nice show-ing in his mile. He took third with a time of 4.00.31, only three seconds behind the win-ner.

While that time wasn’t his fastest this sea-son, Gauson is still ranked third in the coun-try in the mile.

Sophomore Katie Clark ran the mile along with Legg.

While she may have been overshadowed by Legg’s performance, Clark still managed to turn in a time of 4.46.00, good for fifth overall at the meet.

Freshman Ross Clarke continued to build off of what has already been a very success-ful first season. He took seventh in the mile with a time of 4.04.07.

“I haven’t seen what everyone else has been doing, but Ross has to be one the fast-est freshmen in the country,” Roe said.

In a meet that was dominated by Butler’s distance runners, freshman Brad Magnetta provided a change of pace. He picked up a first place finish in the 600-meter run with a time of 1.22.86.

“We have been very impressed with Mag-netta and what he’s been able to do for us over the past few weeks,” Roe said.

Roe had nothing but positive things to say about the meet.

“Overall, it was a great meet. I thought we showed some improvement from last week,” he said. “Across the board, I thought we were much stronger than last week.”

Friday and Saturday, the Bulldogs head to South Bend, Ind., for the Meyo Invitational at Notre Dame.

“This is some of the best competition we’re going to see,” freshman Matt Schumacker said, “so it’s a big deal if you qualify,”

The scandal of ‘Skins’

MTV’s new series “Skins” has sparked a lot of controversy for do-ing what many thought impossible: surpassing the shock level of “Gos-sip Girl” to become the new raciest television show for teens.

“Skins” was condemned by the Parent Television Council for break-ing federal childhood pornography laws. PTC called it “the most dan-gerous show on television.”

The first episode aired Jan. 17 after the popular reality show Jer-sey Shore and racked up 3.3 million viewers.

These numbers, while high, are assumed by many to be so only because of the ever-popular real-ity show preceding it and not for “Skins” itself.

There were only 1.6 million viewers for the next episode and most advertisers had pulled out by then.

After the first episode, the PTC encouraged advertisers, like Wrig-ley’s, General Motors, Schick, Taco Bell, Subway and H&R Block, to pull advertising—and they did.

“Skins” was originally a British television show that aired on the BBC. While there was some con-troversy about the content, it was praised by many critics and was even nominated for a British Acad-emy of Film and Television Arts award.

Clearly, content as controversial as this can be considered an art form if presented correctly, which has many wondering how MTV went so wrong.

However, there’s no denying the buzz the American version has re-

ceived, and that is mainly due to all the attention the PTC has given it.

While mainly saying the show is wildly inappropriate, comments from the organization have gone as far to say that it should be taken off the air.

The PTC believes that its 10 p.m. viewing time isn’t late enough to discourage young viewers. They’re worried that this type of behavior is portrayed as the norm, when it really isn’t.

“Skins is definitely not anything like my high school,” Krista Ha-kola, a Butler freshman said. “It is way more extreme, not anything like a typical kid’s life.”

A lot of teen TV shows can be somewhat extreme compared to reality, including “Gossip Girl” and most of what appears on the CW. Unfortunately, this has drawn teen viewers in, and probably drove MTV to create an American version of the show in the first place.

“With most TV there is some exaggeration for entertainment, but I think this show pushes the envelope too much,” Scott Bridge, professor of communications, said. “The sex and drugs aren’t enough to carry a show if it’s just not inter-esting beyond that.”

Many statistics and ratings sup-port the idea that for a show to be compelling, it must be somewhat extreme. If the qualities of the writ-ing and the plot aren’t up to par, the show is not going to be a success. This is clearly where the British and American version of “Skins” split.

The PTC attacked the show as if it would be the sole reason for the demise of the younger generation, but based on the ratings, it seems

that it is getting more buzz than viewers.

“I think Skins is the perfect ex-ample of the saying ‘everyone de-serves their 15 minutes of fame,’” Bridge said. “Clearly, this show is in its 12th minute now.”

It very well may be that the show is extremely inappropriate for younger teens, but many peo-ple believe that the show just isn’t popular enough to cause any sig-nificant issues.

“At first my friends and I found the rebellious nature of the show intriguing, but after watching the first episode and realizing how bad it was, we are definitely not going to watch it,” Hakola said.

Many believe that because the

show is so extreme and unrealistic, younger teens couldn’t possibly think it is the norm. However, the influence that TV programs have on teens is sometimes remarkable.

“Ever since that reality show ‘Teen Mom’ began, girls at my high school were actually trying to get pregnant to be on the show,” Kelsey O’Shaughnessy, a Butler pre-pharmacy freshman said.

“Skins” perhaps needs to be tak-en with a grain of salt. The issues on the show, although pushed to the extreme, can indeed affect teen-agers and may bring up points that adults can use to start discussions with their children.

“The show is more of an ex-ample of questionable morals than

child pornography,” O’Shaghnessy said. “It’s all acting and its purpose is entertainment. If parents don’t want their kids watching it, they can put up parental controls.”

On the other side, it is good that the PTC brought the show to par-ents’ attention so that they could take the measures that they deem appropriate.

“It’s everybody’s job to decide what’s appropriate,” Bridge said. “We don’t want people deciding for us for what’s good taste and bad taste.”

There is a line between what is obscene and what is acceptable for television, and the show “Skins” definitely approaches that line and blurs it.

Local brewery offers modern spin

Thr3e Wise Men, one of the newest ad-ditions to the Broad Ripple restaurant and bar scene, has transformed the old building at 1021 Broad Ripple Ave. The restaurant is a member of the Scotty’s Brewhouse family and has been drawing interest ever since its Jan. 17 opening.

On an expectably busy Friday night, well over an hour wait was required to be seated at the restaurant.

“We have been extremely busy,” server Shannon Brubaker said.

Her observation was confirmed by the bustling atmosphere, where wait staff scrambled through the crowded space to serve large parties of customers.

What first struck me was the combina-tion of modern and traditional styling in the restaurant’s design. A set of automatic doors leads the way into a log-cabin style build-ing with a few types of seating and standing arrangements: a bar area, long tables with benches, tall tables with barstools as well as a few barrel-shaped tables where custom-ers were often seen socializing with others, drink in hand.

Behind glass panels, large gleaming ves-sels add ambience and make parts of the ac-tual brewery visible to the customer.

Th3ree Wise Men is committed to tech-nological innovation as well. Fourteen big screen televisions framed the walls, broad-casting different sports programming. While this was to be expected, the sheer number of screens can seem a little overwhelming and busy at times.

The restaurant also showed its innovation

by equipping each table with iPads, which proved to be a different and interesting way to fill the time waiting for your order to ar-rive. The devices highlight a program with various features about the brewery, showcas-ing its history, menu, reviews, offering ser-vices and specials, and allowing customers the option of connecting to social network-ing outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.

The communal seating is an immediately noticeable aspect of Thr3e Wise Men’s atmo-

sphere. At least two to three distinct parties of customers were usually seated around the same table, creating a somewhat less private atmosphere than most people are accus-tomed to.

Thr3e Wise Men’s menu is limited to ap-petizers, pizza, salad, desserts and, of course, beer. Everything is available for dine-in and carryout.

The beer selection boasts eight differ-ent varieties, ranging in color and alcoholic

content. Customers are also able to purchase bottled beer and kegs of beer, and many left the store carrying one of the Brewery’s 64 oz. refillable glass growlers.

The Blackberry Wheat is one of the Brew-ery’s pale ales, featuring blueberries and amarillo hops. A deep burgundy in color, the drink offered a unique culinary experience, giving the familiar taste of beer a fruity and sour kick.

As far as food goes, breadsticks seemed to be a popular appetizer. Offered plain or stuffed with pepperoni, they come in incre-ments of six, served with a choice of cheese and marinara dipping sauces. Although they complement pizza very well, it was impos-sible to keep them on the tray long enough for the pizza to arrive.

Thr3e Wise Men’s pizzas come in three sizes, are baked with a crispy thin garlic crust that incorporates one of their brews and is topped with local Indiana cheese. Customers have the option to add on stan-dard meat and vegetable toppings for $1.50 each.

Brubaker said she believes Thr3e Wise Men is the best the Broad Ripple area has to offer.

“We’ve got a great selection of beer, and a unique and communal style,” she said.

The reasonable price range is another benefit. Standard sizes of beer are under $5 and most appetizers fall well under the $10 mark. Depending on size and toppings, piz-zas can range anywhere from just under $10 to around $20.

The Brewery is open 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sun-day.

If there’s anything Butler students learned last year from Madeleine Albright’s speech at Clowes Memorial Hall, it’s that she is one strong-willed woman.

The latest exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, “Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection,” reinstates this in the description of each pin and the collection of quotes from the former Secretary of State scattered artfully along the walls.

Spanning three rooms, the exhibit highlights Albright’s most important pins, collections of specific themes of pins and one room includes a copy of the actual book by Albright, “Read My Pins: Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewelry Box” and a television showing various clips of her interviews about her pins.

It’s an odd concept to think about how much effect jew-elry could have on American diplomacy, but it’s one of the many things that make the exhibit so endearing and Albright so distinct. This is proven by the sheer difference in the people walking in the entrance. Moms are accompanied by young daughters they lift to point out special pins, and elderly cou-ples smile as they reminisce about certain stories the pins bring to mind.

There are certainly many stories. There are specially-made pins from admirers, presents from Great Britain and Canada and even a pin made from a piece of the Berlin Wall.

One woman became so excited, almost yelling, “She’s a Star Trek fan,” after reading the description under Albright’s alien pin.

“It just makes it so personal, to know why she wore the pins and what they meant to her,” Jennifer Bradbury, visiting with her mother-in-law, Dorothy, an Indianapolis resident,

said. The elder Bradbury agreed. “It’s marvelous,” she said. “I feel such a connection, be-

cause I love my jewelry just as much. And I’m not even in her party!”

The connections are easy to make, as the stories behind the pins are often personal, clever and at times emotional. There’s

a pin representing a shattered glass ceiling she wore while vis-iting Hillary Clinton, and an Interceptor missile pin she wore during a meeting with a foreign minister of Russia, who, after asking Albright if that was one of the American missiles, re-ceived the reply, “Yes. We make them small, so you better be ready to negotiate.”

The exhibit includes a quote from Albright stating that after awhile, she became so anxious of the message her pins gave, that she would often pick them out the night before.

It wasn’t her imagination, the exhibit says that Vladimir Putin remarked to former President Bill Clinton that he and his ministers always made note of what pin Albright chose to wear that day.

However, there are clearly many pins that hold close places in Albright’s heart from her descriptions of them, such as a clay heart from one of her daughters and a piece given to her during her visit to post-Katrina New Orleans in 2006. A young man came up to her with a beautiful pin, telling her that it was his mother’s, who had loved Albright and her pins and had recently died in Katrina. The young man said that it had been a 50th wedding anniversary present from his father, and both men had agreed that she would have wanted Albright to have it.

While it often seems that life in Washington, D.C., is far away and impossible to understand, it’s refreshing to see ex-hibits like this that humanize politics and allow us to connect with the people who help run our country. It’s even better when it can be over a collection of largely costume pins, some-thing that is somehow both frivolous and deeply meaningful.

While the exhibit is now closed, Albright’s book is avail-able for purchase at your local book store, including Borders and Barnes & Noble.

The opening shot is tell-ing of how “Somewhere” eventually plays out. As the Focus Features logo fades away, the roar of a Ferrari can be heard as the screen fades into the car driving around a desert track. With no music and the camera fixed in one position, the car circles the track five times before it comes to a halt in the camera shot. A man gets out of the car, walks a few feet, stops and then stares off into the distance.

These long, drawn-out scenes with little to no sound make up the majority of “Somewhere,” the new film from writer/director Sofia Coppola.

The film revolves around fictional actor Johnny Mar-co (Stephen Dorff) and his strained relationship with his daughter Cleo (Elle Fan-ning.)

While it is never implic-itly stated, it is assumed that Johnny is a global star be-cause of his success in pre-vious films. However this success has driven him away from his family, evident from his first interaction with his daughter after his ex-wife

drops her off. Johnny takes Cleo to an

ice rink so she can practice her figure skating routine, but afterwards is shocked to find out she has been figure skating for three years.

His relationship is also strained because of his con-stant sleeping around with random women. He even goes so far as to lie right to Cleo’s face about his interac-tions with these women.

Johnny Marco brought to mind another one of Cop-pola’s characters, “Lost in Translation’s” Bob Harris from played by Bill Mur-ray. Both are successful ac-tors but both have strained relationships with their re-spective families. Unlike Bob Harris, though, Johnny didn’t feel as developed and as three dimensional as the “Lost in Translation” charac-ter was.

This may be intentional because as at times it ap-pears that Johnny is in the beginning stages of depres-sion. When not around Cleo, he drinks constantly and seems to be disinterested in general.

The bright spot of this film was the acting of Elle Fanning as Cleo. Younger

sister of actress Dakota Fan-ning, Elle showed great skill and range for a 12-year-old actress by displaying a wide range of emotions through-out the film. Her evil glances at Johnny during breakfast with a random hook up his were priceless.

While some scenes throughout the film tend to linger on one thing for too long, some were shot beau-tifully, employing simple tracking and zoom. Coppola has always done this mag-nificently in her previous films and she did not fail to impress here either.

As Cleo is leaving for summer camp, it seems that Johnny will be there for his daughter more. He half-heartedly apologizes for his previous actions but it’s un-sure whether Cleo hears it because of a helicopter run-ning close by.

In the end, you’re left wanting more and felt there should have been more char-acter development in John-ny, but where it ends felt appropriate. The film’s title is perfect because Johnny is certainly at a major point in his life, but where exactly is unsure. It’s simply some-where.

“Kiss Each Other Clean,” Iron & Wine’s newest album, continues the band’s ever- evolving sound, although not all fans may be following after listening.

Sam Beam, the main—and only—man of Iron & Wine, generated heavy buzz in the indie music world with his second album, “Our Endless Numbered Days,” released in 2004. Known for both its soothing melodies and Beam’s unique, hushed voice, it was well-received and Beam had songs featured soon after in the movies “Garden State” and “In Good Company.”

His next album, “The Shepherd’s Dog,” was released in 2007 and started Beam’s evo-lution, although certain songs like “Flight-less Bird, American Mouth” and “Boy With a Coin” were reminiscent of his past works.

With “Kiss Each Other Clean,” Beam has created a whole new sound for himself that veers from his quiet, folk-like feel to a more up-tempo beat with some definite pop influ-ence.

There is no doubt that the album is good, but fans who prefer Beam’s older work may not be able to appreciate the new sound. The songs on the album flow well, but in general the album is not as memora-ble, with the excep-tion of a few songs.

The one excep-tion for all of Iron & Wine’s songs is its lyrics. Despite what any song sounds like, it is always a guarantee that the lyrics will be mean-ingful and well thought-out. This album is no exception, “Tree by the River” and “Rab-bit Will Run” stick out as the most memo-rable lyrically.

“Rabbit Will Run” is probably one of the best all-around songs of the album, actually sounding like it would have fit well on “The Shepherd’s Dog.” Beam incorporates what

sounds like bongos and possibly a flute, adding to the ambiance of the song.

For those looking for Beam’s old sound, it comes out most in “Godless Brother in

Love,” a soft, chilled-out melody with Beam’s voice the quietest of all songs on the album.

Most of the other songs are out of the ordi-nary for Iron & Wine, and sometimes his goal is not quite achieved. However, “Monkeys Uptown,” a high-tempo song with a catchy beat, is a fantastic exploration of another side of what Beam can do with his music, while songs like “Me and Laza-rus” fall extremely short It’s boring and just like many of the other indie recordings today.

In the end, fans listen-ing for the first time will without a doubt find something that appeals to them. How-ever, faithful fans who are returning will have to decide for themselves whether or not Beam’s new sound is something they’re willing to embrace, or whether they want to keep “Our Endless Numbered Days” on re-peat instead.

KISS EACH OTHER CLEAN | ALBUM REVIEWAlthough a decent album with a few stand out hits, “Kiss Each Other

Clean” is somewhat of a disappointment in comparison to past efforts from Iron & Wine. With more pop llike beats and faster-paced songs, Sam Beam loses the folk influence that made his previous two albums

successful and made better use of his unique voice and talents.

OPINIONPAGE 10

OUR POINT THIS WEEK: We feel that Fox 59 needs a greater focus on their ethics and the procdure in which they decide what to air. | VOTE: 21-0

Ted Williams reminds us all of the perks of second chances

Fox 59 procedures scrutinizedDuring his Jan. 25 show, Jon Stewart poked fun

at a broadcast segment by an Indianapolis new sta-tion conducting a “Homeless Talent Search.”

The Fox 59 segment was inspired by the success of Ted Williams, a homeless man from Columbus, Ohio. Williams who, after being discovered by a lo-cal reporter, was given countless job offers due to his “magic voice.”

We at The Butler Col-legian find Fox’s attempt to make light of this situation deplorable. Indianapolis’ homeless are not here to be put on display for the entertain-ment of others.

While Ted Williams is an inspirational ex-ception to the rule, it is unprofessional to ask homeless people to sing “Amazing Grace” on television.

Williams was discovered Jan. 5 by Columbus Dis-patch reporter Doral Chenoweth after Chenoweth spotted him by a highway off ramp. Chenoweth had a camera and filmed Williams saying a few phrases. This video immediately became a viral sensation and quickly made it to the evening me-dia outlets.

Job offers began pouring in for Williams and

he ended up taking a position with MSNBC to do voice-overs for their latest “Lean Forward” cam-paign. However, a weekend of instant fame did Williams in and he relapsed into an alcohol addic-tion. After making an appearance on the “Dr. Phil Show,” Williams went to a rehabilitation center for treatment.

Williams’ story is remarkable and inspi-rational for millions of Americans, remind-ing us that even in the darkest times there are always great opportuni-ties. Fox’s poor attempt at recreating this was not only in poor taste, but of-fensive.

A Fox 59 reporter stopped a homeless woman on the streets

of Indianapolis, asking her if she had a “golden voice.” She then continued to probe this woman to sing, supplying her with verses she had forgotten. Then she targeted the woman ‘s sister, who was lo-cated across the street.

We are really disappointed in the professional-ism, or lack there of, in the Fox 59 news network. The homeless are not to be paraded on television for amusement. While we don’t believe this to be

the individual reporter’s idea, we do wonder who was responsible and how many individuals ap-proved of the piece before it aired. We would as-sume that stories go through a stringent approval process before Fox 59 airs a broadcast. Therefore, we were shocked that this even made it past a pro-duction meeting and to the air.

The fact that it nabbed the attention of media gi-ants like Jon Stewart to use for comedic material on a national level only reinforces how large of a mistake Fox 59 truly made. Although the station issued an apology on their Facebook page, we do not think it is sufficient for the audacity of their ac-tions.

Media work is by no means an easy occupation. There are many lines that cannot be crossed and Fox 59 sprinted over the boundary with this latest broadcast.

As journalists, events like these are not only up-setting, but paint the media in a negative light. The actions of Fox 59 not only embarrassed and took advantage of the homeless and their situation, they also tarnish the image of journalists and their stan-dards of professionalism.

We are extremely disappointed with Fox’s choice to run this segment on their newscast. We hope that in the future, Fox 59 shows better judg-ment when approaching a story of any subject mat-ter so there will not be a repeat of an incident like this one.

At one point or an-other, we could all use a second chance.

I used to never believe in them. In my eyes, if someone messed up once, they would obviously just

squander any second chance. Then I started to realize how

much I relied on second chances. I would be more comfortable

bombing quizzes in high school if I knew I had the opportunity to re-take it for a better score later on. Late-ly, I’ve come to think that we should give everyone a second chance in life. We are not bad people and it’s unfair to classify us as so after mak-ing one mistake. We’re human; we are expected to make some mistakes along with our triumphs.

Sometimes second chances are the only opportunity we have to realize that we even made mistakes in the first place. They are necessary for us to better ourselves and improve re-lationships with family and friends.

My favorite example of second chances is the one given to Ted Wil-liams, a homeless man from Colum-bus, Ohio.

Williams was found by Columbus Dispatch reporter Doral Chenoweth after he spotted Williams near an interstate off-ramp. Chenoweth pro-ceeded to film Williams showcasing his “golden voice” for a dollar. Once this video hit the internet, the job of-fers started pouring in for Williams.

It was uplifting to see Williams, who had nothing, receive the op-portunity to turn his life around. Although he recently landed in a rehabilitation center battling an ad-diction to alcohol, Chenoweth’s dis-covery placed Williams on the road to recovery.

This is not about all of us need-ing a second chance. We need to be willing to be the Chenoweth to those around us, to help those who need a leg up and give them the opportu-nity to try again.

None of us can claim we are per-fect. I’m sure I’ve sucked up more second chances in 19 years than many have in a lifetime, but that’s part of growing up. Growing up means realizing when you’ve made a mistake and hoping that someone

is gracious enough to allow you to try again.

We are a nation based on second chances. We all have that soft spot in our hearts for the hardworking man who is shut down by a series of unfortunate events, given a sec-ond chance and subsequently soars to the top. So why don’t we make second chances commonplace in our society today?

Many of us have done something and thought, “Oh, that was really bad decision-making.” I know that I would have lost so many friends and opportunities had I not been given a second chance.

I was given a second chance in high school by my guidance counsel-or. After two years of bad grades and a worse attitude, virtually everyone

else had given up on me. I had been filed away in that “lost cause” folder. I decided to use that second chance wisely and three years later, here I sit on Butler’s campus, writing this arti-cle. I knew I wasn’t a horrible person who would never make it to college, but everyone else felt that way. With-out that second chance, I may have never ended up here.

We should embrace second chanc-es instead of scoff at them because there are very few of us who can say that we got where we are today with-out a single second chance. While we are eager to accept them, we should also be eager to give them. We never know when we could be the ones down on our luck, hoping someone else sees the potential lurking be-neath the surface.

On Jan. 25, President Obama deliv-ered the highly a n t i c i p a t e d State of the Union Address

to a joint session of Con-gress.

While there were certain-ly parts of the speech that could have been improved, in the end I thought that it was a well-written, well-de-livered speech.

There was a large amount of speculation from politi-cal pundits and experts in the days leading up to the speech over what the presi-dent was going to talk about and how he was going to handle the speech.

The president’s point on oil subsidies was interesting and is likely to draw com-plaints from the Republican side of the aisle.

“So instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy, let’s in-vest in tomorrow’s,” Obama said, referring to the idea of nixing the millions of dollars that go to oil companies and their petroleum research.

The grimace on Speaker Boehner’s face and his lack of applause on this point was hard to miss.

His remarks on the defi cit

were also lackluster and, in my opinion, not what many Americans wanted to hear from their commander in chief.

The president’s proposal to freeze annual domestic spending for the next fi ve years, while noteworthy, is still not enough. Obama’s proposal would reduce the defi cit by an estimated $400 billion over the next decade.

However, due to the fact that the United States has passed trillion dollar defi -cits in the past two years, the cuts need to be deeper and broader.

Another issue the presi-dent chose to address was corporate taxes.

“So tonight, I’m asking Democrats and Republicans to simplify the system. Get rid of the loopholes. Level the playing fi eld. And use the savings to lower the cor-porate tax rate for the fi rst time in 25 years, without adding to our defi cit.”

Personally, I was quite im-pressed to hear a Democrat, especially Obama, even ad-dress the corporate tax rate and the fact that it’s one of the highest in the world.

However, Obama’s words on this will mean nothing until something is actually done about it. Time will tell if he acts on the corporate tax rates and if he does it in

an effective manner.A critical issue that the

president failed to mention was the debt ceiling and the debate over whether or not it should be raised. This is becoming a divisive issue amongst Republicans and Democrats and with the for-mal debate set to begin soon, the president should have shed light on it in his speech.

One thing I did appreciate in Obama’s speech was his sense of optimism and pride in his country, something Republicans have criticized

him for lacking. “So yes, the world has

changed,” he said. “The competition for jobs is real. But this shouldn’t discour-age us. It should challenge us.”

The President is right. Now more than ever, Ameri-cans needs a sense of pride and optimism in their coun-try.

Although many people are concerned with the great strides that countries like China have been making, Americans still need to fi nd a

sense of pride in their coun-try. President Obama hit on that Tuesday night with his plea towards Americans to strive to keep up with the changing world.

It is clear that the Presi-dent used his speech to lay a foundation for the remain-der of his term, and as a way to kick off his 2012 cam-paign.

The day after his speech, the President fl ew to Wis-consin to begin an attempt to sell the words of his speech to the American people. Vice

President Joe Biden was on the move as well. He headed to Indiana to speak at Ener1, a manufacturer of electric car batteries.

It will be interesting to watch the president for the remainder of the year and see if anything comes of the promises he made in the State of the Union.

One thing is for sure: the Republicans will be watch-ing him like hawks, ready to admonish him for anything he fails to follow through with.
