Perhaps you’ve noticed it, too.
This semester is hard. Students across the board are singing the same song: this semester is the hardest I’ve ever had.

By Michael Baumann
“All of these are implications for the future of Marian, leading to the question: Who are we?”
By “these,” professor of Sociology Dr. William Mirola meant tidbits gleaned from conversations the university at large has had about education and how the university may start revamping its image as an academic institution.

Where did Civic Theater go?

The Indianapolis Civic Theatre (ICT) at Marian University has now moved its location to Carmel, Ind. It is now known as the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre.
Questions are beginning to rise as to why the location has changed and how Marian will occupy the empty theater left behind.
Students tour historic Irvington... Ghost tour, that is.
By Kristen Pugh
On October 24, students from Marian University got in the Halloween spirit and ventured through Indiana’s most haunted community, Irvington, on a ghost tour.
Alan Hunter, a columnist for the Eastside Voice, led the students through Irvington, educating everyone on the spirits that haunt the neighborhood and sharing famous ghost stories that shape its culture.
Irvington, named after Washington Irving who wrote the famous ghost story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” holds quite an exquisite history that haunts its citizens.
Spirits such as Bona Thompson (a student who once studied at Butler College), George W. Julian (a politician who served in Congress who really doesn’t want drinking, drugs, or cursing nearby his house), and even Abraham Lincoln’s train (which carried his corpse to Springfield, Illinois after his assassination) remain on the grounds where they once lived and make frequent appearances.

The community was also invited to evaluate each candidate based on institutional fit; athletic administration experience; and the abilities of fundraising and marketing, recruiting and retention, strategic planning, and management and supervision.
The Knight Times had the chance to ask Downing a few questions....
IgKnighted #1
By Brendan Dugan
Marian students accompanied local organizers and community members in support of a city budget amendment, Proposition 241 at the October 17 City Council budget meeting. The amendment sought to channel nominal funds to hospitality workers in Indianapolis who often work extensive hours with minimal benefits.
Outsourcing companies fill positions at hotels with workers they hire temporarily – temporarily, that is, for over a decade, with no guarantee of a pay raise, vacation or sick days, promotions, or job security; in essence, hospitality workers suffer financially and struggle to provide for their families.
This speaks to a greater issue regarding both the city and Marian University students,

IgKnighted #2
By Michael Schrader
“How do they even consider it a sport?” he said, flailing his arms up in disgust.
This is a scene that has become too common here at Marian. Students ask each other how cross-country or bowling or bass fishing can be considered a sport and why the athletes receive scholarships.
However, students ask these questions in the wrong ways.
