p.m. Every dancer will receive a
prize, according to Irvin. Miller is
donating the door prizes, and C&S ]
Bank is donating two $250 savings
bonds as grand prizes. mmmmm
Organizations, businesses and
individuals have pledged specific
amounts of money for each hour
the couple dances.
The couples will be competing in Wi
two categories: those sponsored by \ H
an organization and those who
collect pledges themselves. To be
eligible for the grand prize, the
couple must have $200 or more in I
pledges. The grand prize will be
awarded to the couple who raises
the most money and completes the
24 hours, according to Irvin.
SAE submitted a proclamation
to Gov. Richard W. Riley which he j
signed declaring the weekend
MDA Weekend. The fraternity is
coordinating the Dance-a-thon, and
Irvin said, "We feel by making it a
university event and not just a
fraternity-sponsored function,
mote DeoDle (students and the
public) can become involved."
Table tents, posters and TV and
radio commercials have been used
to publicize the dance contest.
Money has also been allocated by
the Student Allocations Commission
for operation of the
ballroom including lighting and
sound.
