Money flies at Martha's Marathon

"Don't be stressed over $4100," Dean of Students Dr. Peter Konwerski said soothingly to several auction bidders.

The comment came from Konwerski towards a group of bidders at the end of an hour-long live auction on the final item up for bid, an Ivory Tour quad, at Martha's Marathon on Wednesday night in Columbia Square inside the Marvin Center.

A moment later Konwerski and fellow auctioneer Courtnay Oddman, a Senior and member of SA President John Richardson's cabinet, were congratulating the bidders on pledging the highest amount of the evening and wishing them well next year in the Ivory Tower quad they had won.
The Ivory-Tower quad was one of nine rooms up during the live-auction portion of Martha's.

Martha's is a GW tradition that was in its 46th year.
