When her daughter was just six weeks old, Shaney Dale was told to gather the family and prepare to say goodbye. Morgan Dale was going to die. Before even breathing her first breath, Morgan suffered two strokes and had four blood clots amassing her body. Soon after Morgan was born, she underwent a failed heart
valve operation. Afterwards, the doctors told Shaney her daughter was not a candidate for a heart transplant. “The doctor came out and told me there was nothing else he could do,” Shaney, who is a resident of Indianapolis, said. “I started asking about what other things we could do.” Five days later, though, Morgan received a heart. Now, 17 years later, Morgan stood at the foot of two gray steps, preparing to walk her first
runway. Her purple, blond and brown hair shined under the lights of Alumni Hall where more than 300 students gathered for the third annual Runway for Riley. The event, hosted each year by IU Dance Marathon, invites children from Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis to showcase the new merchandise and apparel for the year. The Runway Riley precedes the IUDM’s main fundraiser, an
annual 36-hour dance marathon, scheduled for Nov. 14 to 16. Last year’s marathon raised $2.6 million in total. The IUDM is the second largest student organization in America and spends an entire year raising money for Riley Children’s Hospital. Since its creation in 1991, the organization has raised more $16 million for the hospital. Morgan was the oldest of 13
Coming off of its highest scoring total of the season, the IU men’s soccer team is looking to carry over its offensive production Sunday when it plays Northwestern. No. 17 IU (5-1-2, 1-1) has three points in Big Ten play and currently sits behind No. 7 Penn State. The Nittany Lions have six points in conference play. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a tie and none for a loss. “(Those three points) are huge, right now we’re sitting at a decent spot, but we’ll be sitting in a much better spot if we get those three points,” freshman defender Grant Lillard said. “They’re vital three points. Every point matters in the Big Ten and we need to get them early.” Lillard scored his first career goal in Wednesday’s 4-2 win against Central Florida. “Grant needed to get on the board,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “He’s been dangerous on his restarts, and we need him to score goals. I thought this year he’s a three- or four-goal scorer for us on restarts.” Despite the team’s win, players came away feeling like they could have played better and are hoping to improve on their performance Sunday. “We cannot wait to play Sunday because we know we can play better,” senior defender Patrick Doody said. “It’s a Big Ten game, which is awesome, but we want to just get back out on the field and play a 90 that we have been doing, just be better on all phases.” Yeagley echoed this and said

ELECTIONS 2014
Meet the state candidates By Emily Ernsberger
SECRETARY OF STATE
TREASURER
The secretary of state is in charge of state records, overseeing state elections, chartering businesses, regulating the securities industry and registering trademarks and licenses of vehicle dealerships.
The treasurer is in charge of investing money across the state. The current treasurer is Daniel Huge, who was chosen last month to serve until the next term.
Beth White (D) White, a Bloomington Native and IU alumna, is the Marion County Clerk. In 2008, she created yVote!, a program to help high school students learn about the voting process, as well as helping them register. She has also increased the number of voting locations, expanded early voting hours and has helped enhance online court payment services.
Mike Boland (D) Boland, a former Illinois legislator, would like to see higher tax credits for Indiana residents using the 529 Direct Savings Plan, a program for beneficiaries saving money for student loans. He would also like to give Indiana banks that abide with policies Boland would like to impose, such as giving students and entrepreneurs of small businesses smaller interest rates.
Karl Tatgenhorst (L) Tatgenhorst, from Chesterton, Ind., believes that there are too many barriers for candidates trying to be put on the ballot. He would like to see less of them, as well as change guidelines involving redistricting.
Mike Jasper (L) Jasper would like to invest state funds in creating jobs, including helping those who would like to start businsesses. He also would like to add transparency to state reporters, detailing who has received state money and measuring its effect on the state..

The Midterm Election is Nov. 4. While a lot of focus across the nation is situated on Congressional elections, three offices for the Indiana State government are also going to be chosen by citizens. If elected, those chosen will serve four-year terms. Candidate information was compiled from candidates’ websites and interviews.
AUDITOR The auditor of the State is in charge of state funds, local tax distributions and paying the state’s bills. Michael A. Claytor (D) Claytor, a certified public accountant and lawyer, would like to see more accountability of the auditor’s office. He wants to establish an internal audit control system and develop a transparency portal. John Schick (L) Schick, an IU alumnus and consultant at Information Services Group, believes that there are constitutional limits to spending that should be applicable to recent spending initiatives. Suzanne Crouch (R) Crouch was appointed to the auditor position by Gov. Mike Pence in January. During the last fiscal year, Indiana had a $106.8 million surplus, and is expected to have another surplus the following year of more than $200 million.
Connie Lawson (R) Lawson was appointed to serve as the Secretary of State in 2012 by then-Gov. Mitch Daniels following former Secretary of State Charlie White’s criminal convictions. During her time in the office, she has been most active in the voting process, including updating records and creating new ways for Indiana residents to register to vote, such as the IndianaVoters mobile app launched last week.
Kelly Mitchell (R) Mitchell worked for the treasurer’s office for seven years under former treasurer Richard Mourdock, who stepped down last month. She hopes to increase fiscal literacy across the state, specifically for students, veterans and educators. She would like to start a program designed for teachers to learn about fiscal literacy to teach to their students.

An energetic pre-show buzz filled the IU Auditorium Thursday evening as hundreds of fans of country singer Rosanne Cash anticipated her onstage appearance. The heavy red curtains were already open, displaying a full repertoire of instruments beneath a blue spotlight. Behind the instruments, a picture of Cash from a projector filled a giant screen. Auditorium doors opened to a large crowd Thursday evening for
Cash’s current tour, “The River and the Thread.” Following in father Johnny Cash’s country music footsteps, Cash provided a show of moderately paced songs and displayed a blend of folk and country music styles. Before the show began, fans in their seats expressed their excitement for the show. People everywhere had their heads buried in their programs, learning more about the artist before she started her first number. SEE CASH, PAGE 7
