Another entertaining night filled with familiar songs with a Butler twist took place at the annual Spring Sing. Performances began Saturday night at 8 p.m., April 5 at Clowes Memorial Hall. Music fraternities Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Sigma Alpha Iota presented the event.

First place went to Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Nu, second went to Kappa Alpha Theta and Lambda Chi Alpha and third was Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Tau Delta. Did you ever hope that your wishes could be answered by a rock star? For a 5-year-old girl named Paige from Shelbyville, Ind., these dreams can be made a reality thanks to the Butler Recording Industries Club (BRIC) and the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund (ICWF).

The students of BRIC are helping grant wishes by hosting the second annual benefit concert "Wish Upon a Rock Star" on Tuesday, April 8. Dawgnet Staff Writer Jordan Fischer is traveling Europe this semester with GALA study abroad program. As part of the program, Fischer is taking four Butler core classes taught by BU professors while visiting Paris, Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic, London, Belfast, Cambridge and the English Lake District.

He will post a column of his adventures as often as the Internet connection allows, along with pictures subject to the previous hindrance.
