[A. Hart] Hi, Iém Amanda Hart, your host for the
October 28 edition of IUPUIés The Spot. As of September 15, Federal Stimulus money
awarded to Indiana University totals thirty-one point nine-million dollars! And sixty-six
percent of that total was awarded to our Indianapolis campus. Out of all the grants,
IUPUIés Dr. Janice Blum received the largest grant totaling just over three-million dollars.
For more updates visit stimulus.iu.edu. IUPUI students danced the night away t
o support Riley Hospital for Children. News reporter Shawna Woodall has more information.
[S. Woodall] Iém here at the Campus Center where over 120 students fill the dance floor to raise
15-thousand dollars for Riley Hospital. Formerly known as Dance Marathon, this makes
Jagathonés ninth year. Students stay on their feet all night long in honor of those children
who cannot. Each participant is encouraged to raise one-hundred dollars. All of the donations
go to help families like these. [J. Lesh] My daughter Riley was born fifteen
weeks premature. And while we were at riley we found out that some really important research
had been done. And that research is funded through events throughout the state like the
Jagathon and dance marathons. [S. Woodall] Throughout the night, dancers have
plenty to keep them busy. Jagathon organizers say you can still mak
e donations by visiting their Web site at iupui.edu/~sf.

[A. Hart] Undergraduate Student Government is here to serve you! If you have an issue, a
suggestion, or are passionate about this campus, you can attend one of USGés meetings on
October 30, November 13, or November 20. You can also visit during office hours, make an
appointment, or check out their Web site at usg.iupui.edu.
This week in Student Voices we asked what one thing you would like to see or to improve on
our campus. Hereés what you had to say. [B. Killian] I would like to see improved on
the IUPUI campus is student media. I think there should be a better outlet to find out
about events and just news worthy things that are happening on campus that students can find
quickly and efficiently. [E. Howell] I would like there to be more of a
campus community life. It doesnét seem like thereés much going on on campus.
[J. Viera] What I would like to see improved at IUPUI is the student engagement. I think the
campus would be a lot more enjoyable if students supported each otherés activities and
events and things like that. I think it would be a lot more enjoyable for all of the students
and the student groups on campus. [K. Forbes] What I would like to see improved
at IUPUI would be the food selection. I think that ités kind of inconvenient that thereés
really only one place to get food, and then thereés only like three options because two of
them close at like twelve oéclock, and I would just like to see like more food options and
like have it available throughout campus rather than just at the campus center.
[A. Hart] The Jaguars play four games at Conseco Fieldhouse this basketball season, and
these tickets are free for students. You can pick up your free tickets at Conseco on the
night of their first game at five pm on Monday, November 2. Good luck, and go Jags!
Thatés it for The Spot this week. Be sure to tune in next Wednesday for the latest campus
news and student activities at jagtv.iupui.edu. Iém Amanda Hart, and thanks for Spotting us
