Reign of snow
Katie Wilson
Co-Editor-iti-Chief
A snow-buried “College closed” sign, snow
boarders in front of the Gregory Forum, and
empty, empty buildings mean snow days at the
college.
With an onslaught of snow and ice early last
Tuesday morning, tire college was closed for the
entire day, but hoped to reopen the next day for
evening classes.
. Then, Wednesday evening classes were can
celled and the school was set to open late at 10
a.m. on Thursday.
Students had already had that Monday off for
Martin Luther King Jr. Day. As a result, many .
students saw the entire week sail by without a *
day cischool untilFriday, and then it was the
weekend again. ' 1* •
“I mostly did homework during the snow
days,” said student Bradden Cappone. “It gave
me time to catch up on things.”
Economics Instructor Alan Shackelford said
that the days off did not destroy the flow of his
classes at all.
Others, however, found the snow days less to
their liking.
Dale Hatfield, Business Administration
instructor, had to modify his syllabus.
In the event of bad weather in the future, infor
mation about school closures is available on-line
and by calling the school at 503-657-6958, ext
5950.

Truesdell got her first start at

that serving as interim is a way of

Even though she has a job to

The board hopes to have a

according to Tyler-Kamppila.
