CHUG-A-SLUG. Alpha Gamma Delta ' s April Murphy tilts back as she races to be the first to finish Chug-A-Worm. TRAIN GANG. The Kappa Sigma team shows focus on the foot in the Running for the Border relay. PASSING BY. Organizations paint the win- dows (bottom plioto) of the GUC for Spring Fling each year to set the mood of springtime. CLASH OF THE SORORITIES. The members of the tug-of-war team for Alpha Gamiopposite page) pull with all their might, while the sisters of ADPi try to catch them off guard. c 14 le month of April brings warm weather, a new baseball season and of course Spring Fling, billed this year as La Vida Es Una Fiesta!, otherwise known as Life is a party! Every spring the University Program Council sponsors the week-long celebration, which is designed to lift the spirit of everyone on campus after a long winter of dreary weather and school- work. The Spring Fling committee, spearheacied by Donald Burton, Zana Hembree and Michael Waddell, chose the theme, planned the week ' s events and booked the special appearances months in advance. On Monday night, DeLuca, a student favorite, entertained with his beyond-belief talent to make seemingly sane people act like loonies by hypnotiz- ing them. He has a history of compelling audience members to cluck like chickens or act like 5-year- olds. This year DeLuca induced one of his victims — er, volunteers — to crave food. One of our girls got hypnotized and all she wanted was biscuits, said Jennifer Johnson, a junior and member of Alpha Gamma Delta. The following night droves of stu dents were able to fulfill their Wlio Wants to Be a MilUonairc fantasies with a program called Brainstorm Game Show. Students divided themselves into small groups (with a limit of 19 groups) and answered trivia cpestions. After five increasingly difficult rounds, a champion was declared.

NCittill inks world We feel that bv recreating this sort of closed campus (nvironment, we ' ll make the campus a safer one for stu- lents, Howard said. The new lion habitat, while probably the hardest pro- Bct to complete, was probabh ' one of the most visually exciting construction efforts on campus. With its striking ock wall and visual simulation of a somewhat rugged frican environment, it aroused man ' questions among tudents as to hen the new lion cubs would arrive and ' xcited new students who were not even aware ot the imi- ' ersitv ' s tradition of hoLising live mascots. The three foLinlains and main entrance gates, given to he campus bv private donors, both function and increase he aesthetic value of the campus, while making it a more n iting place for students. Howard believed that more stu- lenls would hang around campus between and after their lasses it the environment were a more welcoming one. We want students to stay on campus and enjoy being at JNA. Instead of nmning home, we ' d like tliem to spend tiieir ime here, taking full advantage of our facilities, saiti I loward. While being constantly rerouted by construction pre- ented new challenges nearly every day — You really an ' t get there from here! — most students generally [greed that it was worth the pain to have such improve- nents as the end result. Being able to take pride in one ' s ampus has an unexpectedly great effect on being able to ake pride in the school, and this vear; the lion pride was )re.sent anci continuing to grow. — Leah White EASY STREET.

• a - I itr -- nm o .- ' To top it oft, participants won small cash prizes for thoir ist stores of useless information. Who would have thought lowing where the treaty to end the Civil War was signed )uld be worth $5? The team with the most points by the id of the game show earned $100, with second-place win- ng $50, according to freshman Clifford Drouet, a partici- jnt of Brainstorm. On Wednesdav morning a rock-climbing wall was set in the Guillot Center atrium while lM inflatable obstacle •urse stationed in the second-floor ballroom brought back irnival memories for students. During the early part of the week, students battled other Nature while decorating squares of campus side- alk with various chalk art. ' Tt was freezing that morning. It was really cold and indv and the chalk kept blowing all over the sidewalk, id Laura Beth Daws, who was in charge of Spring Fling [tivities for Alpha Delta Pi. However, the weather turned beautiful when organiza- )ns painted the Guillot windows with cheery designs, a ing tradition. They were all very colorful and creative. Everybody id a good time hanging out in front of the Sub, Daws id. Also on Wednesday were the highly-anticipated field mes, which were given theme names. The three-legged ce was dubbed Speedy Gonzalez while the tempting- unding Tequilla Twister was the moniker for the Dizzy zy. Running for the Border was the trolly-ropes race, a game in which two groups of six people stand on blocks of wood and race to the finish line by pulling themselves along with rope. On Thursday Henry Welch, a regular at the Birmingham Comedy Club, performed, and Spring Fling winners were announced. Nick Shelton (Sigma Chi) and Kelly Yates (Zeta Tau Alpha) were voted Spring Fling King and Queen, respectively. ZTA swept the first-place awards for window painting and sidewalk chart art in the women ' s division, with Fiji winning window painting and Sigma Chi picking up first- place honors for chalk art in the men ' s division. The BCM captured first in both window painting and chalk art in the co-ed division. La Vida Es Una Fiesta! festivities ended on Friday evening as an estimated 600 people attended the opening comedic act of John Witherspoon and main attraction Mark Curry ' s stand-up performance in Flowers Hall. Curry is best known as M ark Cooper of the now-defunct TV series Hangin ' Witli Mr. Cooper. When the show wrapped. Spring Fling 2001 was official- ly over. However, the week of laughs, goofing off, spirited competition and bean-spitting contests unmistakably light- ened the mood on campus and helped ready students for the dreaded antithesis of Spring Fling week: finals week. - Kimb ly West 15
