TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - For the Bluffton University baseball team it sounded like a cover of Led Zeppelin's 'The Song Remains the Same.' Three games at Rose-Hulman over the weekend and it all added up to three one-run victories for the Fightin' Engineers. Bluffton fell to 11-14 overall and 4-11 in the Heartland Conference, while Rose-Hulman improved to 13-15 and 11-4 in the HCAC.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Bluffton offense finally dusted off the cobwebs on a beautiful Good Friday at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology but the Engineers would not be denied, taking a pair of one-run games with some late-inning heroics. Bluffton fell to 11-13 overall and 4-10 in the Heartland Conference, while Rose improved to 12-15 and 10-4 in the HCAC.
Bluffton University will celebrate its annual May Day weekend of festivities May 5-7.
The traditional end-of-the-academic-year celebration intertwines the past by hosting alumni reunions, the present by honoring this year's graduates and the future with first-year students performing the traditional Maypole dance.
Classes ending in a 7 or 2, and the class of 2016, will celebrate reunions.
The events begin on Friday, May 5, with the Juried Student Art Exhibition in Sauder Visual Arts Center. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“You have to entertain if you’re doing theatre for social change,” Ted Swartz of Ted & Company explained to Bluffton University students April 4. “The quickest way to get from a closed mind to an open mind is to get them to laugh.”
Swartz shared advice with students in the Theatre for Social Change class who are working on projects on bullying, gender inequality, racial injustice and sexual orientation.
Swartz was on campus to perform “Laughter is Sacred Space,” a production about grief and mental illness, as part of Bluffton’s annual Spring Spiritual Life Week.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been the standard measurement of well-being for years.
But Dr. Jonathan Andreas, Bluffton University associate professor of economics, will soon present his original research in an effort to sway world leaders and fellow economists toward another standard—MELI.
MELI stands for Median Expected Lifetime Income, and Andreas developed the formula as a simpler and more accurate measure of well-being.
