The Spring Fling subcommittee of the Social Planning and Events Committee decided on the theme "Some Flings Never Get Old" for Fling 2009.
Fling committee member and College freshman Garrett Albanesius came up with the theme, but he could not be reached for comment.
"We always try and choose an appropriate theme," said SPEC Fling director and College sophomore Jayme van Oot, adding that this year's theme was especially appropriate since Fling is "one of the most cherished traditions on campus."
She added that the first Fling was in 1973.
The theme will be presented in the Fling logo, which will be printed on T-shirts. The committee will host a T-shirt design contest in February, and the creator of the winning design will receive a cash prize, a free shirt and a ticket to the Fling concert.
Van Oot said the committee is also considering other souvenirs that would carry the logo.
However, she added, the theme is unrelated to the Fling concert.
