But wait, suffer no more as ACC's annual Spring Fling prepares to let students jubilantly celebrate the coming of the long awaited sum- mer vacation. Spring Fling will last the entire week of April 28th-May 2nd. Dif- ferent campus. organizations will sponsor the various scheduled events. profits from these events will be used to help pay for the concluding dance which will wrap up the cere- monies. Throughout ACC’s recent history students have marked the last few ' weeks of college with some type of celebration. When the school year used to end in early dune, an out- door picnic was held. Later, when ~ the drinking age was dropped to 18. ‘students toasted their achievements with a beer bash. Last year, a dance was held. The Spring Fling will be the last _ major student activity before the a- ACC celebrates with Spring Fling typewriters.” Follett is a nation-wide company which. operates many college book- stores. The contract with ACC ex- tends for five years, from May 1, 1980 to April 30, 1985.

One reason is that in the past six years, the bookstore has lost $2,500. The other reason lies in Donnelly’s phi- losophy on community colleges, “It has long been my contention... that college bookstores are better operated by private industry than by colleges themselves.’” Benefits for having outside oper- ation of the bookstore include: pro- fessional and speedy service by an experienced company, guaranteed income from the bookstore’s profits, out is expected this year. The rites of spring have been celebrated many different ways; this year at ACC, the rites include these events-- Kite flight, Kiss Sale, Tug-of-war, Doughnut-eating contest, Canoe Race, and a Dance.
