\u00bbDitte!\u00ab a young woman shouts \u2013 extremely loudly, considering that Ditte is standing right next to her.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s 4.30 in the afternoon. The two law students are standing in front of the stage in Det Fede Telt (The Cool Tent) and the sudden outburst is caused by the fact, that Ditte is on her way to win The University Post\u2019s Kuizmaster-quiz and the unofficial and definitely non-protected title of Copenhagen University\u2019s smartest.<\/p>\n
A couple minutes later the organizers gently guide the girls down from the stage before they shower all the technical equipment with their victory-champagne.<\/p>\n
These girls are not the only ones to leave this year\u2019s Spring Festival with a good feeling in their bodies.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe general sense is, that it has been a success,\u00ab the festival\u2019s organizer and CEO of the Student House Jacob \u00d8rum says, when we call him Monday morning. \u00bbWe are particularly happy that we succeeded in getting a lot of people to show up for the afternoon activities.\u00ab

This year\u2019s Spring Festival marked the rebirth of what should have been an annual tradition that gathers UCPH\u2019s employees and students across institutes and faculties.<\/p>\n
The first festival was in 2014, and the second one brought in more than 15,000 students and employees for beer, music and science in the University Park. But when UCPH had to cut 300 mil. kr. as part of the government\u2019s Finance Act 2016, the Spring Festival was the first to be cut away by the university\u2019s management.<\/p>\n
Now the festival is back in action, though \u2013 and the 2017 edition featured musical performances at three different stages and a party that lasted until 2 am, when Dokkeldal from Den Sorte Skole left the big Totem stage.<\/p>\n
Even though Jacob \u00d8rum is satisfied with the way things went down \u2013 especially the 300 volunteers that came in and worked in the bars and as stagehands \u2013 there is still room for improvement:<\/p>\n
\u00bbWe can definitely get better at engaging even more of UCPH\u2019s associations \u2013 especially among the staff. They can expect to hear from us within a not too distant future.\u00ab
