I) ance ‘Maratfion On February 17, 2001, Oregon State University put on a 12-hour Dance Marathon from lpm lam to benefit the Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene, which provides assistance to the Miracle House. This year, a total of $9,000 was raised by the event, which was organized by volunteers in several Greek organizations, ASOSU, and directed by Graduate Advisor for Dance Marathon, Katie Davis. Although the number of students participating was slightly lower than last year’s event, there was a high level of energy throughout the whole day. Matthew Sagayaga, chairman of Dance Marathon, rewarded those who volunteered with a final recognition of their hard work and a closing group dance. The event usually takes twelve months to organize, however, this year’s Dance Marathon coordinators put together the program in three months.
