Let k Good fcs Roll! Ahh.. .springtime! Goodbye gray and slushy days of winter and hello bright blue skies and warm days of spring! UNA properly ushered in the season with its annual Spring Fling, where students enjoy a welcomed escape from their daily grind, and create fond memories. Well, this year ' s event helped us do just that. Spring Fling is a sponsored by the Uruversity Program Council. The year ' s chosen theme was UNA Mardi Gras... Let the Good Times Roll. Spring Fling took place April 14-16. The entire week let many students welcome the spring in and have a little fun before those stressful finals. From FunFlicks to Field Games, they were out to have fun. One of the biggest events of the week was on the Wednesday. The Entertainment Industry Association and Word of Mouth showcased five bands intermixed with solo artists, poets, and freestyle rappers, all of whom were students. Of course. Spring Fling is most importantly a competition between organizations on campus. Competitions took place throughout the week while scores were being kept and tallied. In the end, each organizations placed in some kind of event but Zeta Tau Alpha came out on top, winning the overall Spring Fling award. READY, SET, GO. Here, women compete in the relay race. Each group has six people who attempt to run down the field, spin around a bat ten times and then run back with- out falling flat on their faces from spinning. 19
