One more semester. You can ' t call this spring semester. It ' s the middle of winter. Hey, the line ' s moving. ROW-THN. HEA-LAV. Registration lurching along. How was your vacation? Fine. Great. I thought you were transferring somewhere else. Yeah . . . I don ' t know, I figured I may as well stick around another semester. What ' s a 3-unit class with not much reading at 10:00 MWF? I already took that. What else is good? Syllabus, reading list. Can I use your book? 200 pages by Friday? He ' s crazy! New library. It ' s not the same, somehow. I used to leave the old library late at night and walk home under the trees . . . with all those books ... More basketball. Vict ory. Bear down. Beat New Mexico. Warmer weather. Jack-in-the-Box at 3am. I studied for two hours. I need a taco. TC ' s. Beer. Dinner out. What are you doing Friday? More beer. Frisbee on the mall, wet grass at midnight. Sure is quiet . . . here, catch! Gallagher movies. No, honest, I gotta study. Midterms. Oh, shit. Can I use your book again? When are you moving out, anyway? Relationships settling, spinning off again. I love you. I know. Spring sports baseball, track, swimming, kites. Guess what I got at Circle K? A kite? You ' re kidding! Listen, it ' s March. So? Spring break. I got a letter from my girl in Chicago; she ' s coming out. We better get this place cleaned up. Mazatlan. Vail. A whole week off. Settle back into school. Not much longer now. Selections. Elections. Honoraries. Offices. Vote? Me? Spring Fling. Booths, prizes, tickets, rides. You ' ve never been on a Ferris wheel? Stars, bright lights below. I love you. Let ' s do it again! Spring Fling turns campus to carnival Students, faculty, alumni, families, children and dogs could all find something to enjoy at the UA ' s annual carnival, Spring Fling. For the dogs, it meant hot dog buns and cotton candy dropped on the ground. For the people, it meant more. An entire carnival set, complete with rides, games and tickets was hauled onto the campus. The daring could take their courage in their hands and their hearts in their mouths on rides guaranteed to make the hardiest blanch. Those with limited experience at this sort of thing settled for cars that rode within the safe confines of a rubber arena and kept their eyes open. Various campus organizations set up booths where you could try your hand at anything from pitching pennies to throwing darts at balloons. The food encompassed all areas of the globe- Italian pizza, Indian bread, Russian pastries, and of course, the good old American hot dog! te 28

1 Part-time, full-time, temporary and per- manent jobs, as well as the names of com- panies interviewing for employees, were all on record at the Alumni Building ' s Place- ment Office. 2 The Travel Center arranged charter flights to Chicago and New York, and for those with money, cruises to Hawaii or tours to Germany and dozens of other summer vacations. 3 As finals came to an end, the Student Union lounges emptied. 4 Though it ' s an annual event, the gradua- tion ceremony was a proud experience for many students. 30
