FUNDRAISING Bidding for t Be dudes a major success Amanda Brian Contributing Writer

Megan Schneider Contributing Writer

In the words of Martha Wash and The Weather Girls, it was “raining men” at the University of Indianapolis on Sat. March 25. The Good Hall Recital Hall has perhaps never seen so many handsome men walk across the stage in its almost 100-year history. Cravens Hall Council, with help from the Cravens Hall Residence Life staff, sponsored “Dinner and a Dude,” an event that made history at U of I. . Corny title? Absdutely! Memo- - rable event‘?Undoubtedly! Approximately 130 people packed the recital hall to enjoy the evening’s festivities. Some came to purchase a Fazoli’s dinner for two with one of the “dudes,” while others came merely to watch the events unfold. Admissions counselors Amy Popp and Aaron Seitz, on loan from the Admissions Office, emceed the event. Background information provided during the introduction of each “dude,” initiated the bidding. With their good luck, sense of humor and insatiable appetites, the dudes collectively raised over $300 and consumed over 20 pounds of spaghetti. Who were these brave “dudes?’ The 20 guys included Nick Flohre, Dwight Greaves, Jeff Harris, Micah LeMasters, Frank Lloyd, Evan Love, Jarad Miller, Scott Moore, Kenny ’Mor&, Dush Paddock, hhannch Poindexter, Paul Prenter, Josh Reeves, Walter Spencer-Robinson, Justin Rosseter, Alan Sharland, Terrell Shears, Brandon Sobotka, Irwin Sparkes and Moe Sutton.
