Alpha Phi Omega sponsored the first annual Turtle Grand National. Spring Fling events involve entire campus Approximately 2,000 students partici- pated in Spring Fling activities. Spring Fling consisted of three days of student entertainment sponsored by the Asso- ciated Student Body and Student Enter- tainment Organization. The weekend began with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in concert on Thursday night. Friday afternoon events began with Delta Tau Delta’s tug-of-war. That night Peter Sayers, a nationally known enter- tainer, hosted “A New Dimension”— 1970 Carnicus. Carnicus gave campus groups a chance to give their version of events at Tech. Events began Saturday with the all- campus picnic which was returned to campus after being held at area parks for several years. The picnic which was to be held in Sherlock Park was forced in- side to the gym because of rain. A band was obtained to provide entertainment until the events got under way. A body-painting contest sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha began the competitive events. After the body painting contest Alpha Phi Omega set up the race tracks for the first annual Turtle Grand Na- tional. Several heats had to be run be- fore the champion of turtle racing could be crowned. After the rain stopped, a chariot race was held outside with prizes going to the winners. For the students whose inter- ests ranged beyond turtle and chariot rac- ing, an auto-cross car competition was sponsored by the Golden Eagles Sports- car Club. Also an exhibition of free fall jumps was given by the Tech skydivers. Page 29
