We watched from the balcony as he ran to the parking lot and began kicking away furiously at the snow cover. When he reached bare g ' round he knelt down and laid his ear to it in the manner of the plainsman listening for the thunder of buffalo. The expression on his face changed slowly from apprehension to total astonish- ment. He jumped to his feet to yell something at us but was. as luck would have it. promptly run over by a student who told us later he was late for a class. After the accident it was very quiet outside.
