10 f Spring Take A Raincheck The Spnhg Thaf Was Ahiosf Posfponea' When one Thinks of spring aT Emory, one usually con- jures up ThoughTs of blooming dogwoods on The quad and picnics in LullwaTer. However, when one Thinks of Spring 4083, The only visions ThaT come To mind are ones of umbrellas, duck shoes and raincoaTs. Due To The change To The semesTer sysTem, many of Emory's TradiTional spring evenTs were held earlier Than They had been in previous years. Since ATlanTa's weaTher is anyThing buT cooperaTive in April, we Tended To find ourselves Trampling Through mud and wading Through puddles. Spring Turned inTo a series of disappoinTmenTs as one evenT afler anoTher was cancelled or posTponed due To rain. Emory sTudenTs usually flock To l.ullwaTer every spring To sTudy, play frisbee or simply relax. LasT spring, howev- er, This riTual was hardly possible. LullwaTer Day, inTended To celebraTe The beauTy of The park and PresidenT's home Turned inTo 'TCox Hall Day as sTudenTs were packed inTo The cafeTeria for fried chicken and cakes. The HoT Air Balloon rides, usually The highlighT of The day, were cancelled, as were many of The oTher exciTing scheduled evenTs. Campus Life made The besT of The siTuaTion, buT iT's hard To celebraTe The arrival of spring from The inside of Cox Hall on a cold, rainy day. James T. Dooley, who ofTen appears To be above any Tricks To be played on him was also subjecT To MoTher NaTure's cruel dealings. Dooley's Week evenTs were con- Tinuously rained ouT, and The week Turned inTo noThing less Than a farce on previous Dooley's weeks. Perhaps The cruelisT Trick played on Emory by MoTher NaTure occurred while we were all working on our fanTas- Tic Tans in FT. Lauderdale for DayTona or Long lslandg Imagine everyone's surprise To hear ThaT while we were laying on various beaches across The counTry, ATlanTa was experiencing noThing less Than a blizzard! Nine inches of snow covered ATlanTa in whaT was definiTely The weir- desT snowsTorm in hisTory. So much for visions of Tara! The Sunny SouTh, Then, can be jusT as bizarre as The resT of The counTry, and we all learned The hard way ThaT There is no guaranTee ThaT spring will be as warm and sunny as we would like iT To be. If all else fails, Though, simply blame iT, like everyThing else ThaT wenT wrong lasT year, on The semesTer sysTem, Mlke Felnsfeln Top-Pighfx Donna Palley and Michelle Friedman bundle up during The cold Dooley's Week ConcerT. Middle-f?ighf: An unusually windy spring made sTudying outside a breeze. Boffom-l?ighf: No sTudenT was wiThouT Their TrusTy umbrella lasT spring. Vincent S VincenT Vir1C9r'lT

Spring Crazies A Little Nonsense To Break The Mohofoh y After months of cold, rainy weather, spring finally broke on the Emory University campus. Since most of the scheduled Spring events had been rained out, students took matters into their own hands. improvised celebrations, of an unusual nature, started springing up all over campus. 1 The Balloonihg Of The Quad Certain hours of the morning find most people still snug in bed and dreaming of summer vacations, but not those struck by Spring Craziesf' Assembling at 5:00 am. on March 29th, 4983, was a group of indivi- duals, who found sleep impossible on such a promising day: a group of people who planned to Balloon the Quad. The mastermind behind this caper, identified only as Tricia called her friends together and they met on the Quad to tie over 700 balloons to the trees, bushes, and chain link fences. When stopped by a security guard, one participant, alias Berke claimed the bal- loons were 'ifor the Spring Festival Qwhich, in reality, took place the next dayp. The guard allowed them to continue and complete their task. The reactions to this totally unexpected occurance were varied. Most people seemed to enjoy the bal- loons and a well known dean, alias ivlr. Bill could only stammer, I think it's just great! The caper was completed in scarcely two and a half hours. Production was delayed by overzealous, but helpful pigeons, who soon found out how insub- stantial ballons can be. To top off the mornings excite- ment, Tricia and her entourage retired to the Greek House for lots of food and hot beverages. At least, they have retired until the next time when Spring Cra- zies strike again. P.S. All those interested in helping balloon the Quad - Kara Bryant Trlcla Townes
