Ticket buyers had to be in attendance when called to receive a prize.<\/p>\n<p>The loud and dark atmosphere was not enough to get all the attendees off their feet and dancing, but once encouraged by DJs (and warned that not dancing could mean losing their chance for a prize, regardless of being called), more people began to groove with their friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thought it would give people one last opportunity to burn off stress before Dead Week and Finals Week,\u201d said Iain Dexter, KWOU station manager. \u201cThe dance had the right atmosphere to attract a wide range of students, but we unfortunately didn\u2019t have the numbers we hoped for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About 50 tickets were sold. Profits from the dance will be used to create a mobile app for students to listen to KWOU on their phones or in their car.<\/p>\n<p>To listen to KWOU\u2019s 24-hour radio station, visit wou.edu\/kwou<br \/>\nAll KWOU DJs are Western students.<br \/>\nIf interested in becoming a member of the staff, please email kwou@wou.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo and Article By STEPHANIE BLAIR Staff Writer Under alternating flashes of red, blue and green light, KWOU\u2019s winter kickback dance and fundraiser was held Friday, March 6 from 7-10 p.m. in the Werner University Center\u2019s Pacific room.
