Attendees also got all the ice cream they could eat for only 10 cents a scoop.   TOUR THE ELECTRIC BUS Take a tour of the Electric Bus when it stops by campus next month. The Electric Bus is a traveling exhibit of the Experience Music Project, a rock n' roll and popular music museum in Seattle, Wash., that transforms into a 10,000 square-foot temporary structure of six colorful tents and an exhibition trailer. The bus will be on campus in front of University College Sept. 10-14 from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. The exhibit, which is free, consists of artifacts from the museum and hands-on activities.

[Complete details] IUPUI STAFF AND FACULTY MAKE BACK PACK ATTACK A SUCCESS Backpacks and school supplies for more than 400 students were delivered to IPS Schools 14, 15, 54 and 28 this week, thanks to the generous donations of IUPUI staff and faculty who participated in this year's Back Pack Attack benefit drive. Faculty and staff donated all the school supplies, along with almost 200 backpacks and $1,587. Drive organizers purchased another 200 backpacks with the cash donated. "We received a lot of stares in the stores where we bought the backpacks," said Karen Deery of Alumni Relations. "Everyone was wondering what we were going to do with so many backpacks and how we had the money to buy them. It was really nice to be able to explain what we had been doing at IUPUI." |
