The announcement no classes tomorrow convinced many students to run outside for a late night snow fight. The huge flakes Kris: Iayroe quietly piled up 16 deep on Feb. 7, 1980, placing Springfield in a state of emergency. Kris: Iayroe Southerners were spellbound; Springfield was snowbound; Northerners simply asked . . .

Shouts of relief echoed through the hallways and lob- bies, when the eagerly awaited announcement escaped over the intercoms in the dorms. Studies were quickly forgotten. Mittens, scarves, boots, coats, and shovels became the nec- essary equipment for finding cars, making paths, and explor- ing the frozen paradise. The cafeteria and the student union became the nuclei of the campus. During the day the cafeteria seemed to serve an endless stream of people, providing not only the usual place to eat, but a spot to socialize and warm up in other than the dorms. The rarer-visited student union was the place to go at night. Television, games, warmth, and friends merged for the three evenings of confinement to the campus. While not every spring semester is blessed with nat- ure's hospitality, each one does follow the tradition of con- certs, parties, elections, and graduation and adds its own surprises. Spring 1980 was no exceptione After a quiet winter,the cam- pus comes alive as symbolized by this blooming daffodil. The noise of intramural sports and radios could be heard when students walked through the halls, classrooms, and dorms. An example of the paradox 'of spring, this flower pushed it's way through the ice and snow. Cold weather lingered late into the season in Springfield. Spring Supplement 79
