DANCE MARATHON: The sixth annual Dance Marathon to
benefit research for pediatric AIDS was held on January 28 in Roone Arledge
Auditorium and raised $50,488, a $15,000 increase from last year’s
marathon, according to Sasha Feldstein ’08 Barnard, the event’s
public relations director. Dancers each raised at least $450 from family,
friends and alumni, and many were sponsored by fraternities, sororities,
academic departments or residence halls.
The 60 participants stayed on their feet for 28 hours, taking breaks
only for meals. No watches or caffeine were allowed. In order to
keep the dancers energized, the event featured theme hours, such as the ’80s,
games and motivational speakers. Among the speakers was a man who survived
pediatric AIDS. “Moralers,” or students who came in periodically
to boost the dancers’ morale, also helped keep the event’s
energy level high.
CURTIS: Burgess Professor of Political Science Gerry Curtis appeared
on Japanese television station NHK in January as part of a
commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII. The two-part
special retraced 60 years of U.S.-Japan relations, focusing on security
issues and a vision of the countries’ future relationship. Curtis
was featured in the second part of the series, in which he
moderated a discussion at Columbia.
