Cold catches some off guard
By Katie Schwalm
Staff Reporter
A 29-degree difference in. tem
perature over the last two days has
sent some students scrambling for
their jeans and sweatshirts.
Wednesday’s high was 89 de
grees, but the mercury only reached
60 degrees Thursday. The forecast
for today calls for partly cloudy
skies, with the high temperature,
staying in the mid-60s.
But although the seasons are
changing, not everyone is ready for
summer’s end. An occasional pair
of shorts and quite a few T-shirts
are still in sight.
Jimmy Burke, a sophomore
mathematics and Spanish major,
was just one of the people across
campus Thursday who chose to
dress lightly.
“I was surprised, I just auto
matically assumed it was going to
be warm,” said Burke, sporting

shorts and a T-shirt. “I didn’t get
any funny looks, but I did have
people ask me if I was cold.”
Livy Clark, a freshman electri
cal engineering major, realized the
drastic weather change soon after
breakfast.
“I went to breakfast in shorts
and a T-shirt. I had to go back to put
on jeans and a sweatshirt,” Clark
said. “It’s only September. What’s
going on?”
The sudden chill didn’t surprise
local weather forecasters, who have
been predicting the temperature
drop since Monday. And for a few
students; it was a welcome change.
Shamene Nelson, a freshman
business administration major, was
happy about the cold weather.
“I didn’t expect it, but it was a
nice break,” Nelson said. “It is just
a little too cold. I had on shorts and
a T-shirt, but I had to change.”
Some people — like Elena
Prieto, a freshman biology major
—will never be quite satisfied with
the weather.
“I don’t feel like a lobster in a
broiler anymore,” Prieto said, “I
feel like a penguin.”

Festival focus on landscaping, water
By Melanie Branded
Staff Reporter
Concerns about water quality in
urban landscaping will be the focus of
a lawn and garden open house Satur
day at the John Seaton Anderson
Turfgrass and Ornamental Research
Facility near Ithaca.
Saturday’s Festival of Color will
feature displays on more effective use
of water and pesticide conservation
techniques for lawns and gardens,
said Connie Backus-Yoder, a horti
culture department spokeswoman.
The festival is sponsored by the
horticulture department and the NU
Agricultural Research and Develop
ment Center.
Another highlight of the festival,
Backus-Yoder said, will be a residen
tial landscape design seminar. Topics
to be addressed include: selecting lawn
grasses; evaluating landscape water
methods; composting; turf renovation
and the correct application of fertil
izer; flower arranging; and fall veg
etable gardening.
The one-day event, which will run
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., also will
include hands-on experiments for
children that allow them to see the
value of conserving water, Backus
Yoder said.
Other activities involve demonstra
tions on how varieties of grass fere
with certain types of fertilizer and the
effect of different soils on plants, she
said.
Lawn and garden specialists will
be available to answer questions on
plants. Nursery vendors also will sell
plants, garden supplies, lawn orna
ments and furniture.
