Sorority takes steps against breast cancer

Members of the Chi Omega sorority took a step to support a serious cause as they danced the night away in support of breast cancer awareness.
The sorority co-sponsored Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer, a benefit dance that raised $4,000, which doubled last year's total, said Jennifer Lockwood, Chi Omega president and Overland Park senior.
More than 200 people attended Saturday's dance, which was held at the Knights of Columbus building, 2206 E. 23rd St.
The money will be used to sponsor mammograms for at least 30 area women who can't afford them, said Christina Selk, coordinator for Breast Cancer Action, a community group that also sponsored the event.
Selk said she was pleased that the women in the sorority had taken an interest in the fight against breast cancer.
"I think it's important that women support each other and that women of Chi Omega be aware of their own health needs," she said.
Selk said though most women in their early 20s didn't think about breast cancer, they should not ignore it.
Lockwood said that the sorority had learned about the cause from Lawrence Memorial Hospital and a coalition of breast cancer survivors. The hospital has offered the dance for the past several years, and sorority members decided it would be a good cause to support, Lockwood said.
Landscape performance weaves architecture with artistic talents
Continued from page 1A
On top of the hill was the "Death" structure, made of nine freestanding steel posts from which stones and ice blocks were hanging. At the end, the dancers, carrying another dancer, reached an ice altar resembling a grave marker.
Moving to the second structure, the dancers jumped and yelled words, names and numbers. They held brooms, saws and other objects to symbolize work struggle.
"The procession through the stages of life was phenomenal," said Amber Harden, first-year graduate student in architecture. "They used the site very well."
At times, the dancers disappeared in the grass, blending with the landscape. In silence, part of the audience followed the dancers across the field, while the majority watched from a distance of about 100 feet. The performance ended at sunset.
The 15 graduate students who built the structures were from Major's graduate studio. It was their first project of the semester. The nine dance students from University Dance Company were volunteers.
All the structures were made of steel. The architecture students financed the entire project at a cost of about $2,000. The removable structures are now for sale.
"After all the work, the students don't want to see their structures in a scrap vard." Maior said.
Jacqueline Davis, director of the Lied Center, said she was pleased with Friday's performance.
Major said dance and architecture dealt with space and time.
"I felt like dancing. The landscape, the structures, the colors of the clothes express everything from life to general enthusiasm," Davis said. "Architecture allows you to add dimension to art."
"They're both visual arts and arts of time," she said. "It refers to an idea of cycles—daily, seasonal, life cycles."
The performance was dedicated to Harris Stone, an associate professor of architecture who died two years ago. Harris Stone was the husband of Joan Stone, the event's choreographer, and was involved in the preservation of the Barber School.
"People like to think that his spirit hovers around this place," John Gaunt, dean of architecture and urban design, said of Stone, whose ashes had been scattered at the Barber School.
