Dance Marathon Raises

By David Wallin

The first annual Dance PHOTOS BY NANCY WILLIS

amount of money collected
came from the Mercyhurst
Community itself. •'

wasi in the planning stages
there was ; a slight
pessimistic view towards the

with student- apathy being a

down-troddenea effect on any
student activity, the
Marathon wouldn't even be
worth the time or energy. But
with time 'and consideration
and a little optimising it was
underway.^ ;#
The Marathon started at
6:00 Friday night and ended
Sunday at 6:00. The support
given to the dancers through
the nights and days was heart
warming. Talking with Brian
McHugh, director of 'Special
Education,

he commented,
There was no student apathy
at Mercyhurst this weekend."
The Marathon started with
46 dancers and * slowly ' * » .

dwindled as time went on. In

"the last 24 hours of the Dance, Sally Schismenos
