Monday morning the University
campus began to dig its way out
of what mav be the worst spring
blizzard in Nebraska s history.
To date the storm has taken two
lives, stranded hundreds of cars
Isolated communities and stalled
several trains.
The cancellation of classes Mon
day, said to be the first in ten
years, was due to the number of
students who had left the Univer
sity for the weekend and were un
able to get back to Lincoln, ac
cording to Adam Breckenridge,
dean of faculties.
Since class attendance at the
University would not reach the
60 mark because of the storm
the University decided it was not
worthwhile to hold classes.
There were varied opinions
about when the last time the Uni
versity classes were called off.
Brickenridse believes it was in
146, otherwise he doesn't remem
ber a date.
Kate Field, retired secretary of
the Office of Administration for
30 vears. recalled that classes
were cancelled before, when a big
storm bit Lincoln but doesn't re
call the year.
Campus police believe school
was railed off in 1949 but they
aren't sure. For the first time in
years, the police are not tagging
cars for parking unless cars are
stuck in a driveway or are block
ing traffic, according to the po
lice.
Looking through past issues of
the Daily Nebraskan, no record of
classes being cancelled could be
found.
The storm was termed by the
Storm's Over;
Temperature
Increase Seen
After this weekend's sudden
storm, weather men forecast a
high near 40 degree's for Tuesday
with light to gentle winds. The next
few days should
be quite a
change from
Sunday's storm
since no snow
is reported for
the next few
days.
NU students
have benefited
by the storm
since classes
were cancelled
Monday. A high
temperature was recorded at 2:30
p.m. of 33 degrees in Lincoln with
six to eight inches of snow on the
ground.
Nebraska City reported heavy
snow ranging to 15 inches on the
ground at noon Monday with more
falling while Omaha scored a rec
ord of 14 inches.
