Ellensburg service stations and eating places operated at full throttle as students pulled in for gas or for dinners they had expected to eat in Pullman. Weather was about the only topic of discussion as peo¬ ple waited an hour for a hamburger. The freeway from Ellensburg to Van¬ tage was alternately icy and clear; cars without chains or studded tires risked sliding and those who left their chains on risked breaking them as the links scraped the hard pavement, throwing sparks at the cars who followed. Most drivers had removed their chains before reaching Vantage as Eastern Washington’s late-evening clear skies promised clear roads. Black ice was the rule from Washtucna to LaCrosse. The practical speed limit dropped from 45 m.p.h. to 25 m.p.h. here. Tired drivers combined with the near bumper-to-bumper traffic resulted in countless fender-bending accidents and cars sliding into ditches. Four university students were treated and released at Memorial Hospital for injuries as a result of automobile acci¬ dents. The Colfax office of the State Patrol said only five serious accidents occurred Kofwoon Unnnor O •» 00 g-sw 8- s S’S’ ■ ,00 h 3 CD e to 3 O 03 Q.

Some 90 students arrived on campus this September with no room reservations to find the Coliseum was their new home. WSU had its highest enrollment ever, with 16 thousand students, and housing space for many less. To alleviate the overcrowding, the school opened the Cougar Hilton in the Coliseum with a regimented closeness the tenants couldn ' t wait to leave. Within a week the students were moved into slightly better accommodations. They found themselves in study rooms or as the third person in a two man room. Next year it will be curious to see if the Hilton is reopened - maybe a chain will be started across campus. Imagine a concert or basketball game being called off because of study hours.
