SNOWDAYS No phenomenon, natural or otherwise, can produce an effect comparable to that which snow has on otherwise normal human beings. On January seventh the Furman community provided a living example which proved undeniably the level to which students and others may be reduced in the presence of that white form of precipitation. The excitement began in the early morning of the seventh. as students defied all laws of nature and alarm clocks to herald in the arrival of the snow, much to the appreciation of their sleepy-eyed dorm neighbors. After a strenuous two days of winter term, students and faculty alike enjoyed a much deserved day of cancelled classes. The snow was paid due respect by the many Es-kimoes who battled their way through missiles of balled ice to reach the dining hall, slid their way down the soccer field hill on the cardboard and plastic bags (dining hall trays were unavailable for the purpose), and mastered new culinary skills with their recipes for snow cream. A second relaxing day of cancelled classes was accepted without excessive protest by both students and faculty mem- bers; but when the weekend arrived with a mantle of white, even native Floridians admitted that the novelty of crunching and sliding around campus was beginning to wear off and northern students groaned that they had migrated south only to land in Siberia In South Carolina. By Monday morning the cabin-bound of Furman returned to class on the ice covered roads and sidewalks, but the snow lingered behind as a reminder of the blizzard of winter term.
