Fbommp! It arrived on our doorstep like an
unwanted guest, a whits outcast filing from the
west. Without en invitation, seven inches of snow
and ice blanketed the Midlands and caused untold
problem at UNL. .
Monday was a snow day at UNL, a day to recover
froia a bad early storm. The entire university was
shut down, except for essential services, including
the police, university operators, grounds 'crews and
residence hall food services.'
.Classes resumed today, due to improved travel
conditions, John Yost, assistant to the chancellor,
said. '
Yost said UNL Chancellor Martin Maassngsle
decided Sunday at 9 am. to cancel Monday's day
' classss. The decision, Yost said, was made early to .
ensure the safety of students who had not yet
returned to campus because of the storm. Later,
Massensale canceled all. other activities but the
essential, Yost said.
It was a rare cancellation, indeed.
"I can remember very few closings' during my 17
years here "Yost said.
White the snow put most of the university in
neutral, it put Director of Grounds Wilbur Dasen
brock and his gbbr evl&ted crew into hlh gear. But
tryi-3 to budgs the white menace has not been easy.
"We just cant move it," Dasenbrock said. "It's
giving us terrible problems ... the worst ever. There
is ice underneath it; it's wctand heavy. We're having
poor progress against it"- 7 -'.
He should knew. He and his crew of 60 started
scooping sway at it at 3 am. Monday. Dasenbrock
said Monday the crew was operating 20 to 40 people
' short because many of the student employees were
snowbound.
Te even have permanent people stranded," he
The grounds crew's first priorities are the emer
gency services, including the Health Center, the
power plants, the food stores, the computer centers
and residence hall docks where food i3 delivered,
Dasenbrock said.
"At this time (3:30 p.m. Monday), we have all the
emergency needs done," he said. "If we're lucky, well
have it all cleared out by the end of the week"
The storm caused problems for the athletic depart
ment also. The Monday UNL basketball game
against Texas Tech was postponed until 7:35
tonight 77 ! -; ,
The weather didnt leave student housing un-'
scathed either. Douglas Zatechka, director of the
. QfSce of University Housing, said the residence halls
opened up a day early, Saturday at 4 p.m.'
"Our plan was to open Sunday about noon," he
said, "but there were students who came back early
saying 'Let me in. We had to open; we weren't just
going to let them stand outside and freeze.
"Everything's gone amazingly well," he added, "We
fed 650 people for lunch on Monday." But, he said,
"we usually feed 5,000."
The reason only 550 people showed up for lunch
was that state roads were impassable. Dispatcher
Arnold Liska of the Nebraska State Patrol described
the roads at 3 p.m. Monday as ice covered with
blowing and drifting snow. .
