Spring Festival 1982; A Hypnotist, bands, and races Casual observers on campus during the Spring Festival might get the impression that no work and all play are two areas of concentration for Campbell students. This was not the case however as students had to work and play hard to attend the many activities of Spring Festival week. Dolly Parton began the festivities on Sunday night as students went to Turner Auditorium to view her performance in the hit movie Nine to Five. Students jammed Turner on Monday night for the electrifying performance of The Voltage Brothers from Atlanta, Georgia in one of the best responses to a concert that Campbell has seen in a long time. Enthusiastic shouts, hand clapping and dancing in the aisles were the norm as everybody got down to the Brothers rendition of well known songs as well as some of their own material. Tuesday night brought Tom DeLuca, hypnotist and comedian who played to an overflow crowd of around 1000 people in Turner Auditorium. After performing a few mind reading tricks that loosened up the audience, he placed about a dozen student volunteers under hypnosis. He took Cricket Henderson fishing, and she cried when she broke her pole. Tony Fenn was returned to the age of five years and drew stick figures on the blackboard. He made David Hinkamp believe his name was Mary Jane and concluded the show by having the students perform a disco routine to the delight of the audience. After a day of rest on Wednesday the students got together on Thursday to compete in teams and enjoy the spring sunshine. Teams consisted of five men and five women and included such events as the egg toss, the lifesaver pass, the coed wheelbarrow race, the three legged race, the volleyball carry between the knees race and the carrying of a water balloon under the throat race. Alfreda Cox ' s team was the victor of the field day events. The Collegiate Club sponsored a Get Hitched Here booth where prospective brides and grooms could exchange vows and receive a marriage certificate for two bits. More prosperous students could arrange for a color photograph of the event for the grand sum of $1.00. Rounding out Thursday ' s activities, the Travelling DJ ' s provided music for a dance in Carter Gym. Students saw the movie Die Laughing in Turner Auditorium on Friday night. The week concluded with a fifty mile bike race on Saturday morning followed by an afternoon pig-picking at Marshbanks. Cold weather and high winds forced the beach music concert into Carter Gym where the Chairman of the Board entertained everyone and a shag contest concluded the concert. Yes, it may have appeared to the casual observer that things weren ' t quite normal on campus this last week and they were right. In addition to attending classes, the students had celebrated the joy of spring ' s return. 22 Spring Festival Wesley lemigan and Ralph Taylor quickly do re- pair work on their bike so that they can get back into the Little 500 race.
