By GERNY BAMAND
A wind-bitten English profes
sor from Georgia scurried into
class, catching his breath He
began relaying a woeful tale of
his battle against the blistering
weather outside
The delightful complainer
was stopped dead in mid-scene
by a student from Washington,
D C , who chopped his "bliz
zard" down to a mere flurry.
His face hardening, the
professor retorted. “Miss
Smith, you are a bore I know
this snow is nothing to a
Yankee, but if we simple
Southerners want to get
excited about the little bit we
get down here, we will!”
And “excited" is the word
for it.
As the first flakes of the
season trickled down on the
dorms Sunday afternoon, a
gleeful cry was heard from
outside.
"Mary, it's snowing!" The
voice was as loud as the shot
heard around the world It
brought students off phones,
away from books, out of beds,
and out of doors
Calls came from across the
campus "It's snowing here; is
it snowing there?" Even the
devoted Superbowl fans in the
television lobby rose from their
precious seats to steal a look
out the window
Everyone wanted to see IT
The thrilled expressions stab
hard on those Northerners who
long ago lost the innocent
feeling of love for this "mira
cle” of nature Perhaps
because it snows so often on
them And it stays so long. And
they still have to go to work.
But snow appreciation and-or
worship can easily be under
stood down here The slightest
bit of snow is celebrated like a
holiday—everything closes
Well, not everything. In
between fantasies of being
snowed in with that certain
someone, everyone becomes a
bit practical Some may even
start to become mildly con
cerned about starving. But the
meal plan students on campus
can rest assured that the
cafeterias will not close.
“We have never been to
where we couldn’t feed our
students.” Mane Edwards,
assistant cafeteria manager at
Snelling, said "The workers
pitch in and help overtime;
we’ll send a truck out for the
ones who can’t make it here.
Even if classes are cancelled,
we feed our students."
The dedication of Snelling
workers to carry on through a
potential snowstorm is
matched only by their enthu
siasm at the thought of such a
prospect Several have lived in
Georgia their whole lives, and
can recall only one time when
it "really snowed "
"Back in February. 1973 it
snowed 14 inches in my home
town. Talbottnn,” Peggy Rowe,
a senior in criminal justice,
said ‘‘We couldn't believe it
My two brothers and sister and
some of their family all drove
two hours from Atlanta to see
it because they didn't get any
there "
Co-worker Gin Ivey, a senior
in psychology, also felt the
chill that year “It was
great--we were out of school
for a week." she said, grinning
at the memory. Then, some
what less enthused, she added
‘but it got old after a while I
ran out of clothes cause every
thing got all wet and dirty, and
the stores were all closed
because there aren't any snow
plows in Macon."
Did Macon learn its lesson
after that incident and invest
in a plow for a future storm'*
"No. we don’t need to." Ivey
replied. “That only happens
once in a century.”
Gigi O’Shea, a junior in
physical educaton. said she
longs for the snow she’s seen
"in pictures of New York and
Colorado and all those fun
places
She recalled the day two
years ago when classes were
cancelled at the University “It
wasn't too much snow, hut
enough not to melt until the
next day. enough that we could
slide down at Legion That was
great " Pointing to the mass of
seemingly ordinary trays
around her. she added. "We
used those very trays as
sleds.”
i That winter day also found

psychology, sliding down the
hall at I<egion on a tray "That
was really fun You know. I
prayed for snow at church last
Sunday morning, so when it
came, it was like a miracle
But she added I forgot to
pray for it to stick ”
