The Dairy Science Club will be hosting a Best Butts Dance fundraiser on Saturday in the Alumni Center from 9 p.m. until midnight.

Each student organization within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences nominates one guy and one girl to represent the club. The students chosen will then have a chance to win the title of “Best Butt” in the college.

“It’s always good fun,” said Chelsea Onken, senior in animal science. Onken also serves as the co-chairwoman for the dance.

Each contestant will be given a bucket that people can put donations in. The winner will be determined by whomever raises the most money. While the contest is supposed to be based on dancing, some contestants will try to sway the votes their way by dressing in costumes.

“It’s a good friendly competition,” said Michael Kenealy, university professor of animal science and adviser for the club.

All the money made by the students will be going to the ACCESS Women’s Shelter in Ames and the “Food At First” program, where the Dairy Science Club volunteers time serving meals. In the past years, the event has raised around $2,000, something the club hopes to top this year.

Last year, the dance was held at the Maintenance Shop. However, due to the high attendance, the club decided to move the event to the Alumni Center this year.

“People should come to help us raise money for some great local charities,” Onken said.

The dance is open to everyone, but it also allows students in the CALS to interact with each other outside of the classroom.

“The dance is a good thing for the college because it gives you the chance to meet people you wouldn’t normally get to,” Onken said.
