Keep on Dancing, Keep on Caring was the theme of the second annual Dance Marathon for Multiple Sclerosis, held on January 2I and 22 at the lower campus gym on the Loras campus. The spirit of the grueling 30-hour marathon was clearly evidenced by the exuberance and perseverance of the 29 participating couples. who willingly suffered sore feet. aching muscles and exhaustion to raise over SGQISO in pledges and donations for multiple sclerosis research. The Dance-a-thon was organized by Loras Senior Deb Staudt in' cooperation with the local MS chapter in Dubuque. and involved a number of Loras students who worked throughout the year and during the weekend to make the marathon a tremendous success. Music for the Dance-a-thon was provided by disc-jockeys from Dubuque radio station KDTH. and many local businesses and organizations contribut- ed money and prizes. The A.R.A. food service, under the direction of Mitzi Baker, donated much of the food to keep the dancers going. and a number of goldfish were donated to supplement the dancers nutritious diet. The team of Dan Guenther and Donna Metz raised the most money in pledges. with contributions for their efforts topping the SI.I00 mark. The second highest total was amassed by Joyce Mayer and Mike Szramowski, and Sue Genzler and Kevin Vogt collected the most money in their canisters. me O 1, bf -ae'x 'V . WZAP ki X lr?---Q-.

August 29 as Loras College once again opened its doors for another fall semester. New students were oriented into college life between Sunday and Tuesday, August Sl. Resident students checked into the Residence Halls and then joined all new students. parents and faculty in the Rendezvous Room of the College Center for a reception hosted by the Parent's Club. A Mass was concelebrated in Christ the King Chapel at 3:00 p.m. with Monsignor Francis Friedl. President of Loras College as the principal concele- brant and homilist. On Monday, students met with their registration counselors and had the opportunity to attend Mini-Help Stations on various topics. Students picnicked at Clarke College and furthered the acquaintanceship process with a mixer in the Loras fieldhouse. After another morning of orientation on Tuesday. students attended a barbeque on the fieldhouse lawn and listened to the Loras Stage Band in an outdoor concert. A movie The Day of the Dolphin and a Coffee House and Talent Night capped off the three days of activities. Though it is doubtful that the freshmen students realized it at the time. these three days often prove to be the freest days of the whole school year. -cf' John McCarey is ready to move on campus.
