With blowing snow and three-foot
drifts left by the weekend storm. Lincoln
was in the grip of winter. 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.
