[J. Bradford] Hi, I’m John Bradford, your guest
host for the September 24th edition of IUPUI’s The Spot.
IUPUI’s Hispanic Heritage month is finishing off its celebration with several events. Some
of the events include: a film screening of The Walk Out on Tuesday, September 30th from 7 p.m.
to 9 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Campus Center; the annual fall Unity Social with the
Black Student Union and the Latino Student Association on Thursday, October 2nd from 6 p.m
. to 9 p.m. in Taylor Hall room 115; and a service opportunity to work with high school
Latino students during META, Mapping Education Towards Achievement, on Friday, October 3rd from
8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. in various locations across campus.
IUPUI Health Services is located here, on this campus, to provide you with high quality, low
cost health care services. The Spot met with Lee Bernard for more details.
[L. Bernard] It’s a health clinic for students and employees. We offer most services that are
found in doctor’s offices for the students and for the employees, and we take care of
occupational injuries and illnesses. We have some free services this semester for students.
The free things are mostly the strep tests as well as flu shots this year. On Tuesdays I’m
doing a program that offers free health screenings and a few other things. Appointments
are beneficial. You can walk-in but you are taking a chance if there is an appointment
available or not at that time. We are at 1140 West Michigan St., which is west on Michigan St
. across from the Dental School. We are open Monday through Friday, usually 7:30 to 5; that
is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Thursdays, we don’t open until 9. We do have a
Web site, and that is health.iupui.edu. Ask a Nurse has just started this semester. We’re up
in CE 309 most Tuesdays from 11 to 2. I’m there to answer questions related to health concerns
and do health screenings, blood pressures, height, weight, body fat, body mass indexes, vision
screenings, pregnancy tests, strep tests. There’s a variety of things. All those are free
to students, too, during that time frame. [J. Bradford] From the cave paintings of primal
men to spooky ghost tales told around the campfire, storytelling remains an important
part of our culture. Experience stories from all around the world at Printing Partner’s
Hoosier Storytelling Festival on October 8th through 11th at Military Park.
September 17th, 2008, marked our government’s 211th birthday when 39 men signed the United
States Constitution on September 17th, 1787. This week in Student Voices we partnered with
Democracy Plaza where you were asked questions from the U.S. citizenship test. Here’s how you
responded. [Moderator] In honor of Constitution Day we’re
going to ask you a couple of questions. [M. Revaic] All right.
[Moderator] Number one: Which president was the first commander-in-chief of the U.S Army and
Navy? [M. Revaic] George Washington.
[Moderator] You are correct. How many branches are there in the U.S. government?
[M. Revaic] Three: Judicial, Legislative and Executive.
[Moderator] Name one benefit of being a citizen of the United States.
[M. Chistian] The ability to vote. [Moderator] Can the Constitution be changed?
[M. Chistian] Yeah, with two-thirds of Congress voting to amend any part.
[Moderator] What is the introduction to the Constitution called?
[P. LaRoche] The Bill of Rights. [Moderator] How about you Kendahl?
[K. Williams] The Preamble?
[Moderator] Yes, you are right. Kendahl. Whose rights are guaranteed by the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights? [K. Williams] All people, citizens of the U.S.
[Moderator] Absolutely. You’re right. What is the Bill of Rights?
[L. Trozelli] The Bill of Rights is what after the Revolutionary War they signed the Bill of
Rights to find how they would start out their government and come up with what people’s rights
were. [Moderator] The first ten amendments.
