Atherton. University life is the tradition which carries us through the changes, insuring that Butler University, no matter how altered on its face, is still and will always be, Butler University. Our staff welcomes you to examine the tradition of change at Butler University in the 1994 Drift. It is as we have said before, "the yearbook is yourbook." We believe this is true and we believe the 1929 staff said it best when they closed the introduction to their Drift: "And now, having perused this delightful forward, turn to where your picture is in the book and gaze at yourself as long as you want to. You know as well as we do that' s the only reason you [picked up] a Drift, anyway." With fondest remembrance. The 7994 Dn// staff The smoke cleared in Jordan Hall as a new no-smoking policy went into effect in all academic buildings. It didn't stop smokers from doing their thing- but it led to a nasty collection of butts outside Jordan Hall. All one had to do was look around to see, "the times they were a-changing." From the new bike racks and trash cans, to the new buildings and roads, change was evident. The renovations on campus, though, were just a part of the University's continuing facelift. Changes, however, were more than just skin-deep. There were changes in policy, attitudes, and lifestyle, ideas, opinions, and goals. There were changes in major, parking, and plans, but one thing remained the sarr?e- the Tradition of Change. Student J_^ife Indianapolis Indeed Butlerites search out new and exciting activities downtown Students had places to go, people to see. and things to do. Indianapolis, the thirteenth largest city in the country, offered a wide range of things for students to take part in and to spectate. There was always something happening in Indy. whether it was the Indianapolis 500 or the Indianapolis Ice hockey games. As the leaves changed, so did the activities for one to do. Students had the opportunity to attend many exciting festivals; for example, the annual Greek Festival at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, and Penrod Arts Fair at the Indianapolis Museum of Art were both held in September. The fall season was also a great time for a picnic at Eagle Creek or Holiday Park, or even a hay ride at nearby Stonycreek Farm in Noblesville. Indianapolis Colts football games were always a popular weekend activity at the Hoosier Dome. Seasons changed and winter came. It was a wonderful time for festivity around town. The Celebration of Lights kicked off the holiday season with the lighting of the Soldiers" and Sailors' Monument - 284 feet of Christmas lights on the Circle the day after Thanksgiving. Throughout the holiday season, students ice skated at the Circle and the Indiana Fair Grounds Coliseum. Also recommended, by senior Lina Pajunar, was the skating at Pan American Plaza. And who could have forgotten shopping for holiday gifts? Popular malls included: Glendale, Lafayette, and Castleton Square Malls. Union Station, and the Fashion Mall. Spring brought a thaw to Indianapolis, as well as basketball. "Hoosier Hysteria" came to Indy, and high school and college basketball moved into high gear. Students caught the action at Butler's own Hinkle Field House as well as at the Hoosier Dome. A nice springtime place for a visit was the Indianapolis Zoo, which featureed over 2,000 animals and a whale and dolphin pavilion. An Indians' game at Bush Stadium, was also a great way to spend an evening. Of course, there were places to visit in Indy at any time of the year.
