'80 Dance Marathon The 1980 dance marathon for Multiple Sclerosis was a great success. A grand total of 53,500 was raised by the 23 couples who danced for 30 hours - from Friday night of March 15 to Saturday March 16. Money was raised by many -means during the course of the 30 hours. Such as swallowing gold fish, walking on hands, and other activities. The theme of this years dance marathon was Dancin So Life Won't Pass Them By. The marathon was organized by Chairman Tom Cherrier and Co-Chairman Peg Brachle. Mark Critelli and Nancy Briggs were awarded a trophy for raising the most money during the marathon. Many thanks were to go out to assorted sources for their aid in the success of the marathon. Dennis Higgins donated the use of his pro-sound system as well as records and some DJ. assistance. D.j.'s from some of the radio stations and discos also joined in the cause. The merchants of Dubuque also did their part by supplying food for the dancers and workers. But mostly the thanks went out to the dancers, pledgers and anyone who in the course of the marathon, donated money to M.S. It was they who were responsible for the real success.

Facult Forums Return to Loras Argument and debate. Two words which are separated by only the thinnest of lines. Yet during February and March, members of the Loras Faculty met to debate different topics. The forums were started as a result of a survey of the 1979 seniors in which they indicated a desire to see faculty members debate each other on assorted topics of general interest. Senior class president, Mary Kuhl and academic dean, Father james Barta, picked up and developed the idea into the faculty forums. A series of four forums were set up, with a different panel of faculty for each, with a moderator in charge. The questions for the forums were: 1. The Current State of the American Economy: What Role Should the Government Play? 2. American Civilization: Growth or Decline? 3. American Catholicism: Sick or Healthy? 4. The Energy Crisis: Technology or Bureaucracy? The format for each forum started with the moderator introducing the panel and the topic. Each member then had 5 to 10 minutes to present their views, after which they could question each other. Lastly, the audience could question the panel. The debates were open for anyone to attend, and served to help sharpen listening skills and share information with all. It is hoped that now that the forums are established they will continue to be part of the Loras Experience. Paul Heer listens to the debates. The panel prepares for their talk Iii.,
