VOLUME 47-NUMBER 16 Snow Melts to Icy Reality: Sat. Classes Said the preacher, "Many are cold but few are frozen.” For most West Georgia students, last week’s snow storm turned the campus into a winter wonderland of fun and folly. However, for Bill Tuttle and his staff at Public Safety, the weather meant cold, dark hours of overtime. And while the U S. Postal Service failed to give up to its infamous mot to, (neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow..,), Public Safety vehicles and Domino’s Pizza delivery' trucks somehow found a way to travel the snow and ice covered campus roads. For a while at least, they were the on ly ones that did. Despite the hazardous road condi tions, only two major car accidents were reported. No serious injuries were involved. Most of the injuries reported were the result of sledding, slipping on the ice, and fighting. “The worst problem was the mixing of ice and beer. The potential was there for more problems," said Jeff May, assis tant Chief of Police recuperating in his office on Monday. food stores were also kept busy. "It was cold as hell out, and peo ple were buying cold beer,” said an employee at Sing Food Store shaking his head. Manager E.O. Brethick ■ Wrtw HI- A- Photos by...

We’ve exceeded it by about SISOO after the first snow fall Tues day." Domino’s Pizza was equally in dustrious. “We did twice as much business," said owner Chris Donze who wasn't bothered by the snow. Donze, a northerner, first started delivering pizzas in Columbus, Ohio in 18 inches of snow The A & P on Maple Street had problems getting its truck deliveries from Atlanta and ran out of meat products, according to Otis Jan ney, assistant manager. The campus infirmary reported no outbreak of major injuries due to the storm. There were just a lot of, "bumps, scrapes, cuts and bruises". However, two students were taken to Tanner Memorial Hospital for in juries. Also around campus: The Student Center was closed Wednesday because of damages created by over-excited students sear ching for anything and everything to sled on. Officer May said the extent of the damage was less than S2OO. A sign on the student government office read: "Meeting cancelled because of beautiful weather." May said the major concern was the Continued on page 4 Jfei f * , I WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE, CARROLLTON, GA. 30118 | M t4MI 'Pretty, Pretty, Pretty'; 'OOOOOHHH. ..

It’s a nice vacation from school.” Jeff Duncan, freshman. “I like it. Haven’t had this big a snow in years.” Dawn Tighe, freshman: “I’m originally from New York. There this would be tiddlywinks.” Stacey Smith, freshman: “Cold, beautiful...but classes should start back so it doesn’t cut into spring break.” Kelly Clark, freshman: “SLED DING!” Butch Hubert, freshman: “I love it.

Lewis said the make-up dates would be officially announced at a later date, but guessed they would fall on Feb. 13 and 27 and March 6, all of course Saturdays. Daily, as well as evening classes, will be made up dur ing these days. The Food Services building (Z-0) will be open Saturday. Students however, will have to pay for their meals. “We can’t conceivably cut down the 47-day quarter any more than we already have. We could have always accommodated the loss during the 50 days per quarter system, but three days is too much,” he said. Lewis also said they could not push the make-up days into the spring break because there wouldn’t be suffi cient time to process grades, notify students of academic dismissals or suspensions, and move students back into their dorms before spring quarter begins. Spring quarter classes begin Friday, March 26,1982. Spring break is still scheduled to begin March 18. dKHk
