Dancer Nabs Island Trip

Currier House sent a fleet-footed freshman into that dangerous Triangle in the Atlantic this weekend.

Julienne L. Ashmore '89 won a week-long trip for two to Bermuda by raising the highest pledges for the Currier House Dance Marathon, held on February 7, the house committee announced Saturday night when it gave her the award. The Holworthy Hall resident and her roomate Angela C. Chaves '89, who will accompany Ashmore to Bermuda, raised $950.

Ashmore, who spent a week in the UHS infirmary with tonsilitis after the marathon, also nabbed a color television, the prize awarded to the highest fund-raising freshman.

More than 80 bopping undergraduates raked in $10,000 worth of pledges for Harvard and Neighborhood Development (HAND), said William E. Pittman '86, chairman of the dance marathon.

With less than an hour before her plane departed, another lucky North Yard resident won a lottery for a trip to New York for the weekend. Andrea J. Fraser '89 of Hollis Hall was wisked away to pack and fly to the Big Apple after the trip was turned down by one winner and missed by another who is visiting Africa.
