Previous Next Previous Next M Body Copy Everyday at the University of Florida is an exhilarating one. However, there are some days that are more exciting and eventful than others in our lives as Florida Gators. February 24, 2006 was one of those days. Diana, my partner in crime, and I set out from our humble office in the Reit2 Union on a trek to take pictures of as many campus happenings as possible, and boy did we find some interesting ones. Our first encounter was with the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau. They had spent the week rolling a giant beach ball around campus asking people to put their John Hancock on it. Each signature was worth a donation to the Children's Miracle Network. As we made it over to the North Lawn we saw that the Inter Residence Hall Association was having a kick off carnival for IRHA Week. We munched on the free hot dogs they were giving out and tried to win a prize by tossing some ping pong balls in a cup. Our luck failed us and we moved on to the next part of campus. As we made it to Turlington Plaza we noticed that a weekly Friday ritual was already underway. Students gather every Friday to play box ball amidst the tables, as we ducked out of the way of a wayward kickball we saw that the Student Government campaigning season was in full swing. Elections were to take place the following Tuesday and Wednesday and members of the Swamp Party, Unite Party and the Susan for Treasurer Campaign were courting student votes.
