Carnival Time The annual Spring Carnival, sponsored by the Student Life Special Events Committee, was held last May on Hoth Lawn. Wooden game booths, colorful canvas awnings, and prizes were brought in by The Hun Company. Student Life provided the workers. In addition to The Fun Company booths, refreshments and games were also sponsored by various campus organizations. The event attracted children of all ages, although it was geared toward the college students. The older children” appeared to enjoy the carnival as much as the younger ones. Students attempted to master carnival games which involved throwing baseballs in a hole, tossing rings around a peg, and other such challenging feats. Armed with squirt guns, the participants battled fiercely for stuffed animals and other attractive prizes. The Spring Carnival served as a fund-raiser for several campus groups and also provided everyone with a chance to get out into the sunshine and to be a kid at the carnival one more time. 26 Spring ffcixr Omton

itrr, Aiigwta Let the Love Flow The theme was Let the Love Flow. It did for the sixty-two participants who were themselves flowing, as well as twisting and bumping-dancing to the music at Super-Dance '80. Held to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the dance took place in Heth Hall Ballroom on March 28-29. Sixty-one Radford University students and one faculty member danced to the sounds of The Communicators and of DJ Alan Schleeper to raise $10,775 for Jerry's kids — doubling the goal set for Radford University's second annual dance marathon. Fifty-eight determined dancers were still on their feet when the clock struck midnight, terminating twenty-eight hours of constant dancing with only occasional 10-minute breaks and one two-hour break for sleep. Colorful decorations, rest, food and first-aid areas, along with their own deter mination kept participants' spirits up throughout the dance. Everything from the twist to disco, boxer shorts to cowboy hats, and Pie in the Eye to Hairy Legs contests was seen under the bobbing chandelier, which also seemed to lie taking part in the dance. Hung amid the decorations were posters depicting the exotic Bahamas, which may have proved to lx? an incentive to Jim Bradley. The Radford University student raised $1,542 to win the marathon prize: an all-expense paid trip for two to the Bahamas. An occasional T-shirt sporting Superdance U.S.A. is all that is left to remind us of the love that flowed for two particular days in the spring. 28 Spring M rvSUA
