ICE ACCUMULATION cat Cal fe THE GLISTENING panorama of setting This year’s ice storm caused a great deal of destruction on campus, most notably to its power lines and trees and shrubbery. Two rare blue spruces were lost, succumbing to the weight of the ice while hardier trees managed to survive with, in most cases, a substantial loss of limbs. Amid the tangle of sagging lines and limbs, though, one could almost appreciate the wonderland-like quality of the ice.

cataclysmic crystals South Arkansas seems to be plagued by inclimate weather, by accident or possibly retribution from high- er up. In any case, we are forced to brave the sudden violence of tornado season, summer's stifling heat and winter’s chill in succession (with a short spring break). Ice is the most foreign of the meteorological nui- sances experienced in the Monticello area. This year, it created a variety of problems including as much as a week without power in some places on campus and millions of dollars of timber and property damage in the immediate area.

44 Student Life One of the more volatile subjects enlisted in the never-ending debate concerning the lack of a distinct student life at UAM as opposed to that of other universities, is the infrequency and quality of dances. The situation has improved somewhat over the last couple of years, though not to any great degree, and if the blame should fall upon anyone's shoulders, it must be delegat- ed to the student body and their relative non- participation in such activities. There were two dances each semester this year that were specifically for the student body. ‘‘Bajer’’ was featured in the Back-to- School Dance on Aug. 11, then ‘‘High Cotton”’ on Oct. 28.
