\"Students<\/p>\n

For almost a century now, Diadeloso<\/a> has provided Baylor students with a much-needed day off just as the spring semester reaches its crescendo — a day to rest and relax, to have fun with friends, and to make memories on campus that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

While yesterday may have been the chilliest Dia in recent memory — sweatshirts abounded until mid-afternoon, making the day feel more like Homecoming than Dia — the sunshine ultimately won out, and it became a glorious Texas spring day. Traditional Dia activities like music performances, inflatables (like this water slide<\/a>) and various sporting competitions<\/a> were mixed with newer favorites like an exotic animal petting zoo<\/a>, an indoor skating rink and a silent disco<\/a>.<\/p>\n
