Paul Runnion takes a fall skiing at Wolf Laurel Ski Resort during the
recent snow with whfch we were blessed. Unfortunately, everyone
was not having so much fun when the weathermaker decided to send
us all of that pretty white stuff. Chris “Hoot” Smith seems to be hav
ing some difficulty (below) as a result of all that freezing precipitation.

During die past week you
might have noticed an accumu
lation of that sometimes annoy
ing an c sometimes pleasant stuff
called snow. If this is your first
year here at UNC-A, you may
not realize how much of this
form of precipitation you are go
ing to be seeing. Asheville and the
surrounding area are barraged with
tons of snow every year from
December until March. This
year however, they say is not go
ing to be as bad as the last one
(I don’t know who ‘they’ are but
I hope fliev’re rieht). If you were
heie last year, you should remem
ber die cold Dorms, the lowers
in the gym, the frigid classrooms,
and the lack of incentive where
studying was concerned. Or per
haps you remember the sliding
down “Humanities Hill” with the
trays from the cafeteria, not that
I personally was guilty of stealing
them!
In spite of all we can (or
desire) to do, winter is here upon us
and we should go ahead and enjoy
it while we think of how hot we
were in July. But please, in Wes’
interest, do not steal the cafeteria’s
trays; unless of course you don’t
mind eating off of the floor.
