She enjoys all kinds of outdoor sports and is a member of 2C2C's field hockey team. ll he only thingl can say about the weather in the next few days is that it's going to be weird. Familiar saying around 2C2C? Maybe so, but this quote was taken from the NBC weath- er forecast. It began with sunshine, day after day of warm, mellow fall sunshine. It was even nice enough to wear shorts at registration. Summer clothes hung a- round for the first few days of classesg and the terrace became a popular place to do homework, talk, or daydream. Then it rained . . . and rained . . . and rained. People began telling Noahls Ark jokes and thinking up new ways to keep their basements from flooding. Puddles grew, and in the months of September and October the accumu- lated rainfall was double the average. We weren't any luckier with snow. Last year's winter was notoriously bad, 122 Weather GROUND Don Roder1ckWALI. Marc Bi-if I I. I Wt! f-'rj niewskr Linda Gleason BACK Rory Lean, Debbie Curtin ' 3 -is if if F.

There were those who loved art, Ukranian dancing, hot dog skiing, ice-skating, and a variety of other activities. This wide variety is what made the students of 2C2C so fun to get to know, and it was what made meeting people so interesting. FIERCE AND FEROCIOUS? At age 13 Bob Ussery was in his first pagent.

this yearis threatened to surpass it. first storm came on November l 1, keting Auburn in a layer of white. nugh we weren't worried about a te Christmas, the serious storms ll off until January. Then heavy wfalls brought a shortage of shovels, plows hit the roads day and night. the end of January we were well our way to a record breaking snow- with total inches then tallied at e climax of the season, however, ne with the most intense storm of century. Beginning in the Mid- st, the Storm devestated Chicago and ied other cities as it sped toward LNT ROW: Cindy Dunham, Nancy Aus- teve Ames MIDDLE ROW: Pam Biz- Jennifer Shaft, Debbie Swenk, Louis rtony BACK ROW: Betsy Belko, Glenn , Denise Palomeque, Terry Kaminski New York. Meanwhile, we had been having a January thaw so flash flood warnings were broadcast on the morn- ing ofthe 26. Then in the same breath weathermen announced sudden temperature drops and blizzard condi- tions for that afternoon. Stores, schools, and businesses began to close in anticipation. One man ran through the street yelling The storm is com- ing! The storm is coming! Get off the streets! People listened and by twelve noon the city of Auburn was like a ghost towni' with almost everything closed except the grocery stores and some large businesses. Ironically, those food markets which remained open experienced one of the best days they've ever had. People panicked and ran down to stock up. They fought over carts, turned parking lots into traffic jams, and man- aged to break Pepsi's new unbreak- able 2-liter bottles. But the rush be- gan to slow downg and at two o' clock most people were safe at home, waiting for the storm to hit. lt never came. Oh, it snowed someg and the wind blew hardg but the worst part bypassed us and went west. Surprisingly, the weather was good enough for school to open on Friday. However, class attendance was low as students had gone home for an acci- dental long weekend. Finally, after all the blizzards and travel advisories, the last flake of snow disappeared, bringing shorts, T-shirts, and bare feet back on campus. Once again students were lounging on the grass and taking in all the sunshine the weather had to offer. Taking Advantage of a Tempermantal Sun FALL AND SUMMER are favorite parts of the year for Danny Martens. While waiting for his friends to finish registering he lounges on the front terrace. A freshman criminal justice major, Danny also enjoys swimming in his spare time.
