Twenty-six "Dancers for Cancer" kicked off the Third Annual Alta Puma Omega-Chima Dance Marathon Saturday at noon in disco beat of the Bee Zunes "Stayin' Up."
Before the night was over, staying alive and become more to the 13 couples on the carriage and boarding steps of the streets, than just another Top 40 bit. It was the spirit that motivated them to bus stop and soul train through the 12th and final $3,800.05 for the American Cancer Society.
But for members of the ATO fraternity, the marathon, arranged in conjunction with KLWN, was more than just a fund-raising event. It also linked an disease that has hit one of their pledges.
"WE HAD BEEN doing it for the Epilepsy Foundation of America," Mark Winkelman, co-organizer of the marathon, said, "but we are because one of our pledges has cancer."
The fight against cancer was not the only cause that inspired the contestants to endure 12 hours of sore feet and sweat-drenched shirt.
As the night progressed, the donation bins by the entrance were periodically emptied. The money was counted and the totals were announced, bringing spirited cheers from the dancers and pumping new life into their bump-and-hustle.
When it was all over, Tammi Sullinger, Pittsburg junior, and Marty Brown, 834 New Hampshire St., led the others with $84.59 and took home the grand prize for the entire time and collecting the most money.
THEY RECEIVED $400 worth of gift certificates for clothing from local merchants. The living groups represented by the later arose a beer party to be held at a later date.
The presentation of the money raised by the marathon was made to Tom Brown.
Committee to study policy for literature distribution
A committee is being formed to establish a policy for the distribution of literature on campus, according to David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs.
The slower dances resembled scenes from the dance marathons during the 1920s, partners hanging onto each other, taking a rest from the feverish set earlier.

In a letter dated April 14 that was sent to prospective committee members, Amber aïd, "There has been a growing concern this year with some of the University's procedures regarding the sale and distribution of literature on campus.
The committee chairman will be Caryl Smith, chairman of the University events committee.
"To be sure, the University believes that the right is a protected one associated with the University and not with the University has an obligation to provide for the orderly exercise of this right by students."
"This is the biggest event of its kind the cancer society has ever held in Kamas."
IN THE LETTER, Ambler said that one reason for establishing the committee was to differentiate between the sale and the free distribution of literature on campus. Ambler, who was out of town, was unavailable for further comment.
Phyllis Hannon, the marathon's other co-organizer, said she had set what she considered to be an impossible goal of $4,000 for the team. She started organizing the dance in January.
director of the Shawnee and Douglas County units of the American Cancer Society, as well as representatives from other organizations.
"Oh, I'm so happy," Hanlon said. "I didn't think we'd make it. In one half-hour we raised $400, and the next half-hour we raised $1,000. It was those last minute holdouts."
"THIS IS THE TYPE of thing that every year will get better," he said.

One area of concern recently has been the
Roger Martin, publisher of the City Moon, discovered that his newspaper vending machine was removed from in front of the building. He did not renew his令 return to sell the paper.
However, three other newspapers that are owned by the university and front of the union never have been approved for sale. These newspapers are the Kansas City Star and Times, the Wichita Eagle and The Chicago Tribune.
The Moon, which is published about once a year, contains satirical social commentary.
After all the contestants and their supporters had either limped or staggered home, there was a feeling among those involved that it would continue next year.
ANOTHER PROBLEM developed March 1, when the events committee denied a request by Graduate Students Presenting an Alternative to increase the number of attributive boxes on campus for Today's Students. The paper is a national religious publication.
AT TIMES, it was not clear whether the
In denying the request, the committee questioned its own authority to grant such rights.
Smith said yesterday that the distribution problem of the City Moon and Today's Student was among the reasons for forming the committee.
