Stranded motorists lined the Interstates and most side-roads. Many people left their cold cars for the warmth of a bed — often not their own. but those furnished by restaurants, hotels or private homes. For the first time since 1965, students en- joyed two days of no classes while the city vir- tually came to a standstill. At one point, the emergency vehicles even became paralyzed by the frozen conditions. Because of the bad weather, Knoxville even made ii on the CBS network Evening News with Dan Rather. Somehow, students found ways to occupy their free time when classes were called off. Many found the energy to catch up on much needed sleep or study, while others grabbed anything from cafeteria trays to old cardboard boxes to slide down the many hills on and around the campus. Some of the favorite spots to skate, sled or fall down were the hills between Shelbourne Towers and Morrill Hall, down 17th Street and behind the aquatic center. As roads began clearing and the slush set in. students once again began sloshing their way to class. Even though the snow eventually disappeared, this years “winter wonderland” will not be soon forgotten. 12 Opening
