It ' s one of the most excit- ing college fund-raisers in the world and it ' s held here at UA. There ' s nothing else like it : Spring Fling. Organized by 600 ASUA student work- ers and thousands of students in about 120 campus organizations, the annual event is attended by 50,000 community members plus thousands of UA students and staff. The four-day extravaganza is held in April and sports a large variety of rides plus food, entertainment and game booths. While walking amid the booths, one can smell Dirtfries waiting to be washed down with an icy Coke or lemon- ade for purchase at a nearby booth. After a meal of fries, cotton candy, pizza and Coke, one can relax with a friend while listening to a local band. As the sun begins to set and the band takes a break, the sky is illuminated by the multitude of bright lights beckoning anx- ious fun-seekers. The screams of en- caged occupants combine with the whirl- ing sounds of the Hurricane ride, to create a mood of excitement as you approach the only area of the ' Fling ' not run by stu- dents. The opportunities for organizations to have fun, make money and provide a so- cial service for others, are endless. Spring Fling: it ' s a party; it ' s a fund-rais- er; it ' s uniquely UA.
