SPEC announces Fling T-shirt design

With two weeks until Spring Fling, the Social Planning and Events Committee announced the design that will display the event's theme: "Some flings never get old."

College freshman Yilu Zhang created this year's winning design, which features Ben Franklin sporting a pair of "Kanye shades," SPEC Spring Fling co-director and College sophomore Jayme Van Oot described.

"We felt it really captured the spirit of Fling," she wrote in a statement.

The shirts, as well as guest passes, are now for sale.

Passes - required for all non-Penn students who wish to enter the Quadrangle during Fling - will be sold for $20 until April 15, when no more passes will be available.

Students may purchase up to two passes, and a maximum of 2,000 will be sold. To purchase a guest pass, students must register online at specevents.net/guestpass and bring the provided contract to the Office of Student Life by April 15 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
