A Novel Idea 1995 Drift Butler University Indianapolis, Indiana Volume 99 The roreward....

And don't you know that life is a collection of short stories, a novel, Butler perhaps, no more than a chapter. So I asked myself what do you include, what do you leave out, where does the story begin, and where does the story end? Orientation, com- mencement - first love, last heartbreak - first beer, last night at the bars - first class, last final - birth, death - Where? I couldn't figure it out, but perhaps, it was just be- cause this was my first time - editing the

Drift, living.

I decided to begin with thanks, because you never truly do anything entirely alone.

Inspiration and encouragement came from many but especially Joel, Michelle, Tony, Robb, and Kerouac. Thank You. So before it all ends I will begin

The ninety-ninth volume of the Drift is dedicated to Butler University in the year

1995, to dreams reahzed and fullfilled in its limestone halls, to endless possibilities, and to the story yet to be written.

to live deliberately, to confront

only the essential facts of life, and

108 Tyra Seldon Remembers....

One of my most memorable moments at Butler University was March 22, 1992. It was second semester of my freshman year and I had recently been inducted into Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. It was a very exciting time because our chapter had been inactive for several years. On this night, we were going to have our "neophyte" stepshow. It is a show that historically Black Greek organizations perform to introduce their new members, teach their history, and show off new steps. Considering this, I was very nervous for I did not like perform-

ing in front of crowds. Even though we had been advertising all

week and were expecting the usual crowd for a Butler party, I was actually hoping that we had a small crowd. However, the party attendance exceeded our wildest expecta- tions; there were over three hundred people crammed into Robertson Chapel. To make matters worse, we had made some

last minute changes to the show the night before and I didn't know my right foot from my left. I was sure that I was going to ruin the show.

Well, when our moment of truth came, I wanted to throw up, break a leg, or just die; anything would have been fine, just to get out of performing and messing up everyone else's night. Hon- estly, I did mess up a couple of times, but no one noticed.

Our coordination, hand movements, chants, and steps made it impossible to notice individual screw-ups, so, collectively, the show was a success. Many of my friends came up on the stage and gave me hugs, good wishes, and words of praise. It turned

out that what I thought would be the worst day of my life was the best and I'll never forget the natural high that I received after the performance.

110 Melissa Burden Remembers ....

Studying abroad was the most memorable experience I had in my

fom- years of college. The five months I spent in Paris really tested all of the notions of independence and self-reliance I had begun to form in my first two years at Butler. I was completely immersed in a new

language, culture, family, and circle of friends, and I was thousands of miles away from everyone I loved. It was scary, but so exciting! For the first time, I had an entire city to explore at my leisure. Whether

going to the opera, night clubs, or rushing through the Louvre to see it all before closing, everything was a learning experience—even getting into Paris from the airport. I had quite an adventure getting to the dorm from the airport

because my ride didn't show up. So, I got into a friendly conversation

with a Frenchman who explained which train I needed to take into the

city. Then, he took me out to the platform and left me there. Fortu- nately, there was a (cute) guy named Jerome who was waiting for the same train; however he spoke no English. Anyway, he helped me with my bags and buying my ticket He then led me through the metro station to the train. Before I got off an hour and a half later, he gave me 20 francs (5 dollars) because I didn't have much French money.

When I said I couldn't take it, he smiled, kissed my hand, and said, "Non, c'est ma plaisir" (it's my pleasure). That was how we parted. After getting off the metro, another young man helped me up the escalator—Plucky for me, because my bags were very heavy. Then, a French woman saw that I was having a hard time, so she helped me across the street I finally found a taxi, who cheated me out of 100 francs, and made it to my dorm—all this before 10:00 am!

118 Blue River Names Butler's Yearbook

Many years ago the Butler

yearbook found its present name, Drift, along the picturesque banks of Blue River, the setting for Charles Major's Bears of Blue River. William F. Clarke, of the 1891 Board of Editors, wrote, "In contemplating the nature of the material we were planning to use

in the annual, it occurred to me that there was a resemblance between this material and the material composing the many

drifts I had seen in the Blue River." All sorts of materials would get into Blue River from various sources and be carried along until some obstruction in the river would cause them to lodge or collect, forming...the Drift.

It may not be the Blue River, but the Canal behind Butler still provides an excellent place for reflection.

124 The Dungeon Below by Matthew Burden

"It smells like sauerkraut and feet," said freshman Susan Soldner, wrinkling her nose over Applebee chicken fingers and fries. She ate them not unreluctantly, though, until they were nearly gone. Hmmmmmm. And the aroma? Well, the smell was bad, but the aroma in question was the stink outside Atherton by the patio entrance, not the chix-n-stix. Another beautiful new mall was to spring up over the summer between Clowes and the ResCo lot; there were almost as many trees as people on campus these days. But who could enjoy sitting outside Atherton on those not too infrequent days when the SMELL seemed to rise from the ground like fog? "Where does the smell come from?" wondered sophomore pharmacy major Chad Zeisig. "It was really bad in the early spring." It's such a pleasant area, a nice stone patio with occasional moss, pleasantly shaded, the ground littered with leaves and

acorns that attract squirrels. "I don't like the sewage smell so close to where I go to eat food." "It makes me want to hurl," said senior Deidre Conley. "It must be coming from the ground, like underground pipes. Didn't there used to be a grate-covered drainage pipe around here somewhere?"

"It can't be coming from the C-Club, because as soon as you walk in, it stops," noted Zeisig. Perhaps senior Kevin Meek has stumbled onto something.

"At night I've heard strange thumping sounds that seem to come from under the floor. People say it's pipes, but I wonder. I've seen too much Scooby Doo not to recognize a secret door when I see one. There's one right there between the men's room and that other door, but I don't know how to trigger it." "I think there's a den of rats somewhere in the building," said Zeisig. "I've got a friend that knows a C-Club worker who has seen a rat," confirmed Conley. " They must have a basement where they store more food," said an expert food service worker at Applebee's. The C-Clubbers deny it emphatically. But why so emphatically? "Imagine a tight spiral staircase going down there," said Meek. "They have a big alien plant, like Seymour from the Little Shop of Horrors . They feed him recalcitrant C-Club workers. The workers know but they can't tell; they're afraid. It's the blood that smells. Blood and the smell of fear."

Many people have theories as to what the smell was, or where it came from. "It's chicken," theorized juniors Dave "Dingo" Latrell and Will "I-Kill-For- Less" Phillips. "It's always chicken anymore."

126 . The Grasshopper's Quake by Matthew Burden

In the spring a young man 's fancy liglitly turns to thoughts ofhve.

Locksely Hall

When Tennyson wrote this in 1842, he knew nothing of political correctness, else he would've mentioned the women as well What he did suggest, however, was tbt something m spring brought out our amorous affections more than any other season. Could there be something inherent in spring that awakens dead passions, rams fire on cold hearts? Was this the reason that so many spring hook- ups, last minute mashes, or one night stands before all departed for home suddenly shoke the bedsteads like an earthquake along the New Madrid fault line?

"It's hard to say (if it's the spring)," said freshman cheerleader Megan Ridoux. 'Teople just want to get in their last 'Ewww.' They were really hot this year and I've always wanted to hook up with them.'"

Joe Prizpilski agreed. "The blooming flowers make you want to *@##&@*# in the blooming flowers!"

Doug Kramer jumped in. 'It's just, what's the thing?...... an Old Wive's Tale! It sounds nice; people talk about flowers blooming and the sun coming out, but I don't think it affects people in the least

Hormones are the same year round."

"Spring isn't even the most romantic month," stated fourth year pharmacy nut, Laura Colson. 'It's winter. I think wintertime can be very romantic, when there's snow™ and Christmastime, especially. Seems like a lot of engagements are set around Christmas. And they put Valentine's Day in winter."

But the body does change in the spring. Many people succumbed yearly to miserable pollens that swell glands and water eyes for weeks. That was halfway to love. Mightn't some cases of this spring romance actually be an allergic reaction? Jliat when ingested in the body might not release from a gland in the brum a love chemical? It was easy to say this was ridiculous, but brain science was very imperfect

This romance then. .

Were these casual encounters romantic or meaningful, or were they surgical strikes, designed to get in, get what you could, and get out?

Joe Prizpilski smiled. '1 think they're totally sleazy. It's just a way for homy guys to release their frustrations."

"WeO," said Kirk Muller, "if a guy is looking for anything, it can get pretty disgusting, but if he has had his eye on a certain girl all semester or year, it can be romantic"

In a dked retort to the interviewer, he added, "In your case I tiiink it's sleazy. Burden, but in my case it's romantic"

'Teople are people," said Kramer. "People want to end the year on a high note, even if it is a meaningless affair. They feel like they've had some love at school, and it gives them confidence to go home and find someone there. Because tiiese relationships, although the couple feels sparks, have ahnost no chance to last the summer or resume again m the fall. Sometimes tiiey are content with ttiat; tiiey don't want them to continue. They just want the end of the year to stand out"

Was spring uresistible, with the warm weather and beautiful new leaves? Was it the subtle shedding of winter clotiiing layers? The first pair of bare legs? Maybe it was truly tiie pollen, or vapours

from the canal, sometiiing in the air that tiimed our thoughts lightiy to love. The only thing our fr^ lovestinick human senses could detect in the air was the silence. . . as the insects and birds lie quietly

In fear just before the big one struck.

165 166 Driving under a clear night sky and a full moon, they pulled onto the highway, and North Carolina stretched more than three hundred miles before them. Elliott leaned forward toward the wheel and searched out

Orion's belt. He just wanted a point of reference. Since Jerry had pretty much taken them to the coast, it was his job to get them home.

Elliott could do that now. He had been to the edge of the continent, seen visions of Jack Kerouac on the Beach, had the father potter prophesize his future. Everything was FINE. He and Jerry knew that everything was FINE, and they would get were they were going.

"Hey Jerry." Elliott pointed to a sign on the road. "Ninety North is in a mile. We could go to Maine."

"Elliott." Jerry laughed. "We have to be back in Indianapolis in less than twenty four hours."

"We could make it."

"We'd have to turn right back, But then again we really don't need to go back."

"No." Elliott said to himself. "No, don't really need to go back."

Jerry looked at Elliott as they approached the exit, almost as if expect- ing him to turn off. They passed it.

"Just know we could of, if we wanted to." Elliott turned up the

Jayhawks and smiled. "And next time we will."

Jerry sat back in his seat, opening his window, letting in the scent of the Carolina midnight. The road was almost empty and there was plenty more ahead, about twelve hours.

"The exits for Chiapas, Montana, and New Mexico are still ahead."

Elliott stretched his arms, reaching for his water bottle.

Jerry just laughed.

Leaning back, Elliott looked up at the moon and was reassured as she still watched over them, his mind empty taking in the poetry of the music. His life and time passed by as the road passed beneath. The continent lay before him. He just thought, all that road, all that land, and that full moon. That full moon.
