Bengal Ball Bash As the academic year begins to wind down there is a stirring, a restlessness in the atmosphere. A subtle warming of the air and a nearly imperceptable lengthen- ing of the day conjure up visions of sum- mer afternoons spent lying on a sunny beach. With eight months of school al- ready weathered and final exams looming ahead, a brief respite from academia is welcomed. Bengal Ball is such a reprieve. On April 11 the Central Dance and Concert Committee sponsored the ninth annual Bengal Ball bash. More than 4,000 students from Clem- son dorms and off-campus apartments flocked to the Y-Beach to partake in the soaking up of sun, surf, and suds. Rock bands Silverspring and The Win- ter Brothers provided musical entertain- ment. Three Budweiser trucks were on hand to quench the crowd ' s thirst. For those preferring non-alcoholic beverages, various soft drinks were available. Bengal Ball symbolizes Clemson ' s last big party before final exams. It gives you a chance to go crazy before you settle down to study, explained one patron of The Ball. Another described it as a mellow time where you can lay in the sun, sip brew, and listen to music. What- ever its appeal, as a springtime gala for relaxing and having fun, Bengal Ball has no equal. by Max Weber During the day ' s proceedings, three Budweiser trucks were emptied of their contents by the thirsty Bengal Ball crowd (top left). Some of the drawbacks to Bengal Ball were the long lines patrons had to endure in order to acquire their rations of beer and to relieve themselves of those rations (bottom left). The Dixie Skidivers put on a parachuting exhibi- tion for the Bengal Ball crowd. Other entertainment included rock bands, volleyball games and im- promptu frisbee matches (bottom right).

Guntet Wiedemann Silversprmg, a rock band specializing in swing, cajun, and jump blues, kept the audience rocking on the Y-Beach (top).

Much to the delight of the students, Bengal Ball took place on a near perfect day for sun-worship- ping with 85 degree temperature and a cloudless sky (bottom right). STUDENT LIFE — 19
