Leave a commentButler will debut its Next Live Bulldog Mascot at Men’s Basketball BracketBuster Feb. 18 Blue II, Butler University’s live mascot, is in the process of training a puppy protégé. Blue III, or “Trip,” as he will be called is making his Butler debut Feb. 18 at the men’s basketball ESPN BracketBuster game against Indiana State University at 2 p.m. in Hinkle Fieldhouse. Media covering the game can see “Trip” up close at 2:05 p.m. in Hinkle’s Media Room. Media are also invited to campus for additional photos and interview opportunities with Michael Kaltenmark ’02, Butler’s director of Web Marketing and Communication, and caretaker to Blue II and Trip, on Tuesday, Feb. 21 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the University’s Reilly Room. Joining big brother Blue II at Hinkle to welcome Trip into the Butler family will be Butler’s original mascot, Butler Blue. Now, 11 years old, Blue is enjoying her retirement in Illinois with her owner Kelli Walker ’91, former Butler Assistant Director of Alumni and Parent Programs. Trip was born on Dec. 23, 2011 and weighed 13.5 oz. He comes from Frank and Jeane King of Kong King Kennel, the same breeders that gave Butler, Blue II, almost eight years ago. “Butler was not looking for its third mascot before Trip was born,” said Kaltenmark. Blue II is still in great health and has and will continue to be an active member of the Butler community. “Trip was essentially ‘a great opportunity’ for Butler. He was the only male in his litter and is a descendant of championship Bulldog, Ch. Cherokee Legend Rock.” Having Trip at Butler now means he will learn from the best (Blue II) and be fully prepared for the day when he officially takes the reins as the University’s “Top Dawg.” Until then, Blue II will continue to tweet, eat and nap around campus as usual. Like Blue II, Trip will receive the best in care and support from partners such as City Dogs Grocery, Don Hinds Ford, Good Dog Hotel & Spa, Holistic Select, Nike, Butler Bookstore, WellPet and Woodland Animal Hospital. He will join Blue II in the Kaltenmark household which includes Michael, his wife Tiffany, and their son Everett.

Leave a comment Investigative Reporter Jerry Mitchell to Lecture at Butler University Admission is free and open to the public without tickets. For more information, call (317) 940-5974. In 1989, Mitchell began his immersion in decades-old stories of thwarted justice and undertook a meticulous review of the 1963 assassination of NAACP leader Medgar Evers. Ku Klux Klan member Byron de la Beckwith had been tried twice for this crime in 1964, and each trial ended in hung juries. By analyzing hundreds of documents and interviewing scores of witnesses, Mitchell laid the groundwork for a new trial. The case was reopened and culminated in the conviction and life sentence of Beckwith in 1994. Mitchell has since uncovered largely unknown details about many other long-dormant murder cases. His reporting has played a key role in the convictions of Klan Imperial Wizard Sam Bowers for ordering the fatal firebombing of NAACP leader Vernon Dahmer in 1966, of Bobby Cherry for the 1963 bombing of a Birmingham church that killed four girls, and of Edgar Ray Killen for helping to orchestrate the 1964 deaths of three civil rights workers in Neshoba County, Miss. His investment of time and painstakingly detailed research has also produced a broad range of reports on such subjects as racial reconciliation in the South and judicial bribes and chicanery in Mississippi, as well as a series on his own family’s battle against a rare genetic ailment. In an era when long-term investigative reporting is more the exception than the rule, Mitchell’s life and work serve as an example of how a journalist willing to take risks and unsettle waters can make a difference in the pursuit of justice. Jerry Mitchell received a B.A. (1982) from Harding University and an M.A. (1997) from Ohio State University. He joined the Clarion-Ledger in 1986 as a bureau reporter before turning to investigative reporting in 1989. | February 16, 2012, at 3:54 pm | Category: Butler University, City of Indianapolis, Education, Meetings, Public Safety |
