Old fTlan Winter Puts Halt on Campus Activities Aside from bringing in a fresh semester of classes, January brought record low temperatures, sleet, and snow to MSU. Returning to classes on a chilling day at temperatures of 3°, students dug out their warmest apparel to go out to scrape ice from their wind- shields. Some were even more appalled to find their cars wouldn ' t start. For these were experiences most MSU students hadn ' t known often. But the biggest shock of all was yet to come. On the second day of classes, with light rain predicted by local forecasters, MSU was stricken by 2 to 3 inches of snow and ice. By 12:00, classes had been dismissed as day students and staff slip- ped and slid home on snowy Starkville streets. For this unexpected winter storm had practically paralyzed MSU. Even though driving condition I were hazardous and temperatures wer low, nothing could calm the child-liki enthusiasm of MSU ' s students Cafeteria trays were carted off as sled to snow-covered campus hillsides. ] was a dry snow but nonetheless, ther were snowball fights and snowmer Ice-covered sidewalks and streets wer the closest thing students had to an ic skating rink, and some even create their own fun pulling friends behim cars in everything from cardboar boxes to washtubs. As the day drew to a close and eve more sleet fell, MSU students wishe for another day without class. For onc their wishes came true as old ma winter took his toll on MSU. D. Pezzill
