Students celebrate Spring Fling in 1985 and 1986 with food, music and games, such as a dunk booth. While carnival-type foods have been popular since the first Fling was held in 1973, the types of games and performing artists have varied greatly year to year. Each year students look forward to the break from academic stresses.
