050 urf boards, rafts, loud music and wet hair - no, this was not spring b r e a k i n Florida, it was January 21st on campus. Old man winter invaded the University, and as the seven inches of snow began to fall Wednesday evening, students scurried around gathering anything that would aid them in sled- ding down the University hills. Everything from the famous cafe trays, to card- board boxes and surfboards' were seen making tracks in the snow. Loud music, screaming and laughing made the night one that all involved would remember. For some, it was their first time to see a real snowfall. Others thought it would be the only snow Bir- mingham would see that winter and they wished to make the most of it. Classes were canceled the following day, and students took advantage of the free time to build snowmen, start snowball wars, and go sled- ding . J, 'f' r lcrrn Although the snow quick- ly melted away the day after it blanketed Birmingham, it was an entertaining break in the sometimes dreary days of Jan term. The rest of Jan term was not as spon- taneous and exciting as that snow-filled evening. As usual, the relaxation and scarcity of people were the main facets of the session. Only a handful of students attended classes, and there were parking spaces and cafe tables in abundance. ln Jan term students took easy loads to relax or to prevent them from suffering through difficult classes such as physics, statistics or ethics for an entire semester. Many students used the time to pick up an extra credit in an interesting class, or to add a necessary P.E. class such as aerobics or karate. The time was also used to prepare for Step Sing and the upcoming semester. For some, Jan term of- fered an opportunity to play and spend leisure time doing things for themselves while squeezing in studying where necessary. But for others, uddled in front of a warm Vail lobby fire, Billy Pfeiter, a sophomore religion major from Anniston, and Paula Crane, a sophomore from Hayden, take refuge from the snow blanketing the campus. Jan term meant study, study, study and then sleep- ing and eating when they had a chance. Either way, the term was quick, and students were soon forced to return to the normal schedules of spring semester. Others made changes in the usual Jan term activities by participating in an entire- ly new culture. Two large groups traveled to London and Mexico to sightsee, shop, experiment with foreign cuisine, become cultured and, on a few occa- sions, study. Those who ventured to London, flew to Amsterdam to sightsee for the day, and then flew to London to begin their exciting tour. Classes enhanced their curriculum and added the enrichment that made the London visit educational as well as enter- taining. ln addition to seeing the wonders of London, students traveled to areas outside the city such as Canterbury, Scotland and Stonehenge. After a long day of shop- David Rigg ping, riding the tube, study- ing museums, and eating in pubs, the Londoners always found themselves enjoying the theatres in the evenings or taking in a BBC program on the telly. Students learned the meanings of words and phrases like loo, queing up and bobbies, as well as how to find the way out instead of the exit, and the intricacies of converting pounds to dollars. Following an ex- hausting day of pushing through the London crowds and remembering to stand on the right side of the escalator in the tubes, the study centre on Gloucester Road was a welcome spot to come home to, even for those who had to climb to the top floor! When you tire of Lon- don, you tire of life. This was the sentiment of most of the students who were a part of the London Jan term. Tom Savage, a sopho- more from Birmingham, said London, the place of enter- tainment, excitement cont. on pg. 32
