Hamburger helper

About 600 LSA employees and others turned out for the annual Spring Fling on Ingall's Mall June 11, where they enjoyed McDonald's hamburgers–not the fast food fare but hamburgers (and hot dogs) served up by LSA Dean-elect Terrence McDonald, as well as U-M President Mary Sue Coleman (above) and other administrators. A masseuse gave five-minute neck and shoulder rubs, a photographer took pictures and made prints available immediately, and a juggler balanced bowling pins on his head. The Giant Fighting Paperclips (below)—with members Steve Peterson, Marion Keehn, Eric Newsome and Nathan Platte, left to right—played "The Victors." Platte also gave a solo performance of "Hey Jude."
