I.,, r- .... en ; rrFor the first time at Cedarville University, the Student Org Fair did not coincide with Alumni Weekend. Student orgs put together booths to woo more members of the student body into their ranks, and a good time was had by all . Students enjoyed the use of the entire Stevens Student Center and Dixon Ministry Center parking lots, which they filled with booths of all varieties. Returning favorites were the marshmallow blowers from Alpha Delta Gamma and the tattoos applied by the ladies of Phi Epsilon Beta. The Delta Phi Sigma girls put goldfish in bowls and made people throw ping pong balls into the water. Collective praise for the booth comes from two of its members: "The atmosphere was pretty thrilling, and a lot of people walked away with their own fish. " (Nicole Rose and Robin Provo, seniors) An organization brand new to the fair, the Icarus Collective, Cedarville's poetry organization , put out coffee and crackers, played music and read poetry aloud. "Students generally didn' t stop in, and generally gave us weird looks, butwe did entice a few prospective members." (Scott Kordic, junior) Splitting off from Alumni Weekend provided a less crowded atmosphere for students to mingle with their own and gave organizations more room to distinguish themselves. There was so much room, in fact, that art students were able topaint a mural on theside of a van: an Abercrombie and Fitch model, bleeding from his side, with caption " I want a Jesus who will take me shopping," provoking viewers to reevaluate their consumerist priorities. This year's success will certainly bring the Fall Fling back for 2008. Seniors Dave Sizemore and John Rice paint a van for purpose. "We were trying to make a statement about consumerism and Christianity," Sizemore explained. CU Transformed, the premier paintball org on campus, encourages students at the Fling to don a helmet and take aim. "C "T1 0 0 "C C: C: .., iii co' .., D> D> :1 C: (I) ...
