THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

IUPUI ► Continued from Page 1 and two-parent families. Other places that saw the appearance of volunteers included Wheeler Mission, Horizon House, Springfield Health Care Center, and many others. That evening, the students came back together for the reflection dinner, with Rosalyn M. Brock, vice chairwoman of the NAACP appearing as an electrifying speaker. What made this fourth annual Dr. King Service Day so special is that it marked the first time the university’s holiday activities had been organized entirely by students, especially those from the IUPUI Community Service Scholars and the IUPUI Black Student Union. Teachers and faculty structured the past three events. “Our planning committee and the students worked hard to make this event a success and other leaders within our community jumped on board in support,” said Tiffany S. Boyer, student coordinator for the day of service. “It is my hope that this year’s project will be remembered for its commitment and alignment with Dr. King’s legacy of national and community service. He once said ‘Everybody can be somebody, because anyone can serve.’ Dr. King lived and died for this philosophy among others.” “Ms. Boyer was so enthusiastic and did such a wonderful job coordinating this effort,” Leek said. “It takes hard work to find volunteers who are open to working on projects in a meaningful way.” Boyer mentioned that so many people signed up for community service that some had to be redirected to other service programs in the city. “Part of the reason why I spoke to the students was to thank them for their selflessness,” Leek added. “Students at IUPUI are leaders in organizing a Martin Luther King service program that’s ahead of many others in this state. It’s very reassuring to know that the current college age generation has a sense of responsibility and giving back to the community.” Nearly everyone involved in Monday’s initiative agreed, however, that service to the community should continue throughout the year.

of Radio One Indianapolis. “Both stations will heavily promote IMC. The impact of our two radio stations and their promotion of this new channel along with other local media relationships and other possible general market radio relationships should deliver immediate viewership of this new TV station.” IMC will be an integral part of the community, programming a wide range of locally originated positive community interests throughout each broadcast day. IMC will also broadcast Indianapolis’ first locally originated variety show targeting adults between the ages of 18-34. IMC is one of five broadcast stations owned and operated by Radio One in the Indianapolis metropolitan area.

Supporters say the game would provide money to expand the prescription program beyond the 16,000 people it now covers. The state’s top lottery official, however, says he believes it would lead to smaller payouts, making people less likely to play. Hundreds rally against war with Iraq (AP) - A crowd that reached about 600 huddled on Monument Circle at the base of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in temperatures in the teens for a two-hour rally, one of many held across the nation to condemn a war against Iraq. Speakers stepped up to a microphone in front of a banner that read "Wage Peace" and pleaded for restraint from President Bush. Some said the military buildup in the Persian Gulf was an act of aggression only to protect U.S. oil interests. “Truly, it is all in the name of

greed and truly in the name of war," said U.S. Rep. Julia Carson, D-Ind. "We should have learned by the Vietnam War, but we did not," she said. A war with Iraq "is not the one we will end; it is the one we will institute." A1 Sharpton formally declares as presidential contender WASHINGTON (AP) - Saying the Democratic Party needs to expand its political base, the Rev. Al Sharpton formally filed papers Tuesday seeking the party's nomination for the 2004 presidential race. The 48-year-old civil rights leader said he was the only candidate who is "anti-war, anti-death penalty, anti-tax cut across the board." Sharpton said he would reach out to disaffected voters, including Latinos, Blacks and young people. "The Democratic Party cannot win unless it expands its base, unless it goes out and gets those that have been disaffected," Sharpton said at a news conference after filing the papers at the Federal Election Commission.
