But the mood of the UNL campus after Monday's class cancellation definitely was spring. If it hadn't been for the multi-colored ski jackets and flying chunks of snow, the scene would have resembled a collegiate 16th Street spring gathering-complete . with police cars. From the air, Lincoln's campus could have been mistaken for Lake Placid, N.Y., home of the next Winter Olympics. While the marathon snow-throwing event was being conducted on an R Street fraternity's lawn, competitors were warm ing up for the free-style bumper sliding event on I6th, 17th, and R streets. Buses and police cars took an unwilling part in this event, as they dragged students down a two-block length of 16th Street. Sliders teamed up with friends who managed to extract their cars from the . powder-packed hills of campus parking lots. There was evidence of the women's angel-making competition on several soror ity lawns, but contestants were not avail able for comment. A well-worn trail marked the way between Herm's liquor Store and the UNL campus. While parents at home smiled at the thought of "Junior" safe and warm, studying calculus and drinking cocoa, "Junior" probably was caught up in the 4Monday afternoon fever" of 1978.
