Fling bands

---

This years Spring Fling organizers decided they could please all the people all the time, or at least theyd try.

Thats no mean feat, judging from the range of responses we got when we asked students before the organizers announced their picks who they thought should headline Spring Fling. Marilyn Manson to Boyz to Men seemed to us like a gap never to be bridged.

Imagine how impressed we were, then, with the pairing of alt-rockers Ben Folds Five and hip-hop artists the Roots. Brilliant. Solomonic. Its a pair of choices that should satisfy just about everyone on campus.

We know from our mini-survey it will certainly satisfy Asher Hawkins (C03). So look for him in the audience. He picked the Roots as his preferred headliner in our preannouncement survey.

Alexis Zimbalist, College 03
Dave Matthews. . . or Madonna. Shed be the best thing that ever happened to me. And maybe G-Love as one of the other bands, but not the headliner.

James Kim, Wharton 01
Itd be really cool to bring Boyz 2 Men back [to Philly].

Michelle Henry, College 01
Tool. If not them, Marilyn Manson.

Ryan Schmidt, College 03
Ive gotta say Foo Fighters.

Eric Lupfer, College 02
I heard a rumor that Third Eye Blind was coming. . . theyd be cool.

Alexandra Cambouris, College 03
At the risk of sounding too generic, Id like to see Dave Matthews.

Jill Belli, College 02
Chicago or Erykah Badu.

Asher Hawkins, College 03
The Roots.

Jason Tung, Engineering 03
Anyone thats good. . . maybe DMX.

Kate Sheehan, Nursing 00
Macy Gray or Rusted Root.

Stephanie Lictor, College 02
I havent really given it much thought. . . I guess I wouldnt really care.

David Danish, Wharton 00
Santana. . . and Rob Thomas, of course! I think theyd please a lot of people.

Jason Hsi, College 02
Boyz 2 Men.

Betsy Tumpak, College 01
Bruce Springsteen.

Jack Galuchie, College 02
Limp Bizkit. . . or Phish.
