The snow finally melted, the temperature rose; it was time to turn up the party level, see and be seen, and just have a good time. It was Spring Fling and everyone was outside in the sun. Along Liacouras Walk, near the Bell Tower, and on [ Street people enjoyed food, caught up with friends, and got rid of the pallor of a long winter. Students ate funnel cake, cotton candy, water ice, and other carnival treats. They rode the mechanical bull, did flips on the ti ' ampoline. fought like gladiators, got stuck to the Velcro wall, or just got caught up in the carnival-like atmosphere. Friends wandered around campus getting their first tan of the year - not caring about classes, grades, homework, or extracurricular commitments. They just relaxed as if summer had started early. Spring Fling offered a brief interlude of the carefree side of college life before the stress levels rose again for finals. Many of the campus organizations occupied tables to pass out informafion, answer questions, recruit new members, and raise money. There were also DJs and bands for students to isten and dance to throughout the festival. This block party proved to be the high point of Spring Fling ' s many scheduled events.
