Animated horse racing, giant sundae eating, beer guzzling — is this what Spring Fever was truly about? YES — when the Clennson University Student Union sponsored Bengal Ball 1976! The Bengal Ball weekend started on Thursday, April 8, at the Union nightclub. That night, Clennson students becanne big-time gamblers as they participated in ' A Night at the Races, betting play money on animated race horses. The evening finished with an auction for prizes that were paid for out of the win- nings. Friday was perhaps the best day for the gluttons on campus. The Union made a giant chocolate sundae in a wading pool located on the plaza. When the heat of t1 ie Spring sun began melting the giant dessert, people crowded around the pool to get a bowl full of the afternoon delight! Sun, beerand music freaks all trekked out to the Y-Beach on Saturday to enjoy the Celebration of the Sun. The Coun- try Gentlemen and Mission Mountain Wood Band provided background m usic while students drank and sunned their cares away.
