“HELP! A student gets caught in Spring Fling ' s web. Photo by Sh- annon Wells. t%%$ and Ham by Kristin Burt Ipring Fling started on Monday morning with a bang, as students com- peted fiercely for top prize in the Chalk Art Contest. The sound of scribbling was only the beginning of a week filled with inventive games, activities, and entertain- ment. The theme of the week was Dr. Seuss ' s Green Eggs and Ham. The Univer- sity Program Council provided the students with entertainment that included hypnotist Tom DeLuca and an outdoor screening of John Grisham ' s The Cham- ber. Anyone new to the campus would have thought a strange plague had stricken the student body, causing Li- ons to experience dizziness, mild hyste- ria, and loss of balance. In actuality, the games had just begun. Students attempted to complete an obstacle course that included weaving the way through a " spider web. " They went to war in the laser tag tent, and experi- enced virtual reality with the Illusion and Fusion machine. They decided to spin and run in the dizzy bat competi- tion. They tried not to drop the egg as they raced across the field with it in a spoon, and they fought hard to see who could eat the most scrambled eggs. When all was said and done, Sigma Chi and Alpha Gamma Delta emerged victorious. DeAnna Sims and Wade Watkins were voted Spring Fling Queen and King by penny voting. The success of Spring Fling did more than provide an outlet for students tired of being cooped up for the winter — it left the student body with its spirits up and ready to face the academic challenges that lay ahead.
