Hard work takes toll

As the dancers dance, the workers work. DM volunteers continute to toil tirelessly as the event nears its end.

Weinberg junior Jack McQuiston said while the dancers are tired, the workers are as well.

"It's even harder being here, I mean, they're dancing, we're sitting," he said.

The DM staff working on 30-hour committees such as the Finance and Dancer Relations commitees don't get a chance to sleep during the event.

"We get breaks, but we're technically not supposed to sleep," said Weinberg junior Katie Ude.

Chris Yun, a Weinberg senior, arrived at Norris at 4:30 p.m. Friday and took a short nap around 3 a.m. Although he said he is exhausted, he is still excited.

"I'm really looking forward to the last few blocks because we've finally fough through the 30 hours," he said.
