Session in the Sun Granted, a three-hour class beginning before noon doesn ' t sound like a fun way to spend a summer, but as these pictures can attest to, there is plenty of time for fun. Students can take a maximum of 11 credits during the May session and eight week session combined. Most classes during summer school are required general studies. Special courses include the Monticello arcaelogy dig and the fashion merchandising trips to Europe. The only difference between regular session and summer session is the number of students. Most dorms close down for routine work to be done as students move away from campus into cheap or relatively cheap sub-lets. After classes and studying, students take breaks by tanning by the lake, swimming at Shenandoah Acres or Blue Hole, or just touring the Valley. ■ v ' » f May Summer Session 15

It ' s Epidemic As the days begin to get warmer, students show symptoms of a very common disease known as Spring Fever. On Saturday, April 1 1 , students afflicted with the disease came out to the practice field next to Godwin Hall to welcome the beginning of warm weather. Dressed to the minimum to soak up the early Spring rays, students got wild outdoors after being cooped up all winter in rooms and classes. Campus organizations set up booths to earn money, while giving tipsy contestants a chance to prove their skills. Two of the more popular attractions were Sigma Nu ' s dunking pool, and the Food Service booth, where free balloons, ice cream, and iced tea were offered. Frisbees packed away all winter emerged and were suddenly whizzing everywhere. Students forgot their woes, downed a few cold ones, and enjoyed spending time with friends. The disease was in epidemic proportions, for Spring Fever was definitely contagious. Any student well enough that night enjoyed the comedy of Gallagher followed by Tom Chapin. Luckily, with the days activities most students worked out the fever — under the sun. 2 Students tested feats of accuracy and skill here in an out-of-the-ordinary view of the bean bag toss (left inset). Spring Fever even brought out community members, as the next generation got in on the action (far left). Teddy Bear ring toss was a popular attraction (left) as excited students competed to ' win one for the lady . NRBQ generated the musical vibes for the huge crowd (above) while uninhibited students responded to the sounds (top). Spring Fever 1 7
