Hooray for the one big social event of the year here at UCSD: the Sun God festival! Don’t miss out on the many daytime goings-on throughout Sun God Lawn and Library Walk on May 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s going to be an intoxicating shindig of merriment with food, games, music … and much more.
Every party that’s any party has got to have the one most important thing: food. If you’re craving some good old-fashioned barbecue, check out the Kappa Zeta Phi or Nu Alpha Kappa booths right on Sun God Lawn. Want something a little more ethnic? There are oodles of cultural food booths scattered around the lawn and Library Walk. You can find everything from lumpia to mouth-watering Mexican food to chicken curry. Kaibigang Pilipino will have a booth serving Pilipino-style barbecue and of course the well-known Korean barbecue will also be available out on Sun God Lawn thanks to Alpha Kappa Psi and Lambda Phi Epsilon booths.
If you’re not into barbecue at 10 a.m., bask in the familiar feelings of old-fashioned carnival fairs by stopping by the Sigma Omicron Pi or the Speech and Debate Team booths for fresh caramel apples. It’s Friday, it’s Sun God — go ahead and indulge in something better than dining hall food.
There are plenty of other activities if you haven’t worked up an appetite yet for the numerous food booths. If you’re bored and not quite juiced enough (by the wonderful excitement of the festival of course), go to the Biological Sciences Student Association’s booth for a little stress-relieving big-glove boxing. Not into violent forms of stress release? Find the immaturity within you and grab your friends to get matching temporary tattoos at the Pep Band at UCSD table or go jump on the Astro Jump provided by Student Run Television. They’re all located on Sun God Lawn — go and soak in your well-deserved fun.
Of course to top off the entertainment of Sun God festival there will also be many educational booths. Who needs to engage in big-glove boxing and eat lumpia when they can gain some very insightful information on the Bush campaign? If you feel like you just haven’t had enough learning for the week, stop by the College Republicans at UCSD or Campus Greens booth to take part in thought-provoking conversations and debates. Or how about some religious cultivation? Check out the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, the Latter-Day Saints Student Association or the Campus Crusade for Christ tables to learn all about their religions.
It’s May 21. Set your books aside, crawl out of those black holes, enjoy a little bit of fun and sunlight on this day, and go to the Sun God festival!
