The Springfest events on April 1 were held from noon to 1 a.m. Some of these events in- cluded frisbee golf, an egg toss, the obstacle course set up by the ROTC, and ooze ball - which is volleyball played in a mud pit. Carnival-type booths were also set up by various community groups. The number of booths was down this year due to the $25 entry fee this year. The win- ning teams in the intramurals competition included Regulator Guys II, and independant group in Level I and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity in Level II. These were announced at a dance in the New Pavillion that night.
