UVSC closed due to snow Craig Harter Senior News Editor On Thursday, Feb. 1, UVSC students and staff members were excused from school and class instruction due to extreme snowfall throughout the Utah Valley area. Late last October, the first snowfall of the winter season descended, causing residents to start early preparation for what Utah license plates consider to be "The greatest snow on earth." But just about the time that the ski's were getting waxed, the snowmobiles primed, and the winter attire was purchased, the abundance of snow melted and there was very little snow for roughly three months. This resulted in the absence of the traditional "White Christmas," in Utah Valley for the 1995 year. Time continued to pass, and the occasional snowfall left disappointment upon the faces of many active wint r folks. Eventually, January brought the occasional sight of snow, only to close the month with an abundance of snow that was nowhere to be found earlier in the season. As a result of the abundance of snow, it was announced on Wed., Jan 31, that at 5 pm UVSC would be closed until Fri., Feb 2, for snow removal. As students were informed of this event, they were also issued a warning to have their car removed from campus, so there would be plenty of room for the snow plows to clear the campus. "This has been the second time in the last few years that school has been can- Snow, Page 8 The crowd cheers as balloons fall from the ceiling at the end of the rigorous homecoming game. Homecoming attracts over 6,000 people Emotions linger after 'Untitled Horse Form' is dismantled Sheila Banister Editor-in-Chief Kami Fehrenbacker Managing Editor From a 300 foot subway sandwich to the dating game, homecoming week successfully ended with a bang. The weeks events started on Tuesday, Jan. 30 with a game of Twister in the ballroom. The winner of the game had the opportunity to trade places with President Romesburg for a day. The winner, Patrick Casper was able to run the school for a day, while Romesburg went to all of Casper's classes and took notes. According to Karla Sheehan, alumni director, Casper had fun doing things like buying pizza for everyone in the administration office. A three on three basketball tournament was also held on Tuesday from 7 to 10 p.m. at the institute. Teams who signed up for the event never got to finish the tournament because of school being shut down on Thursday, 'Feb. 1 due to snow. The rest of the tournament will be held this week. On Wednesday, students had the chance to participate in a volleyball tournament that concluded on Friday Home, Page 6 The dismantle of the sculpture, "Horse Untitled," has caused quite an uproar in not only the art world, but also with the administration of UVSC. "Untitled Horse," a sculpture which was purchased from artist Richard Johnston for some $17,000, was dismantled and removed from the quad around Thanksgiving break. Gil Cook, vice president for college relations, gave orders to Lynn Brough, planning facilities director, to have the sculpture disassembled and stored on a palette in the Gunther Trades building. Cook said the plan was to refurbish the rusted sculpture and then relocate it in an area on the sixth floor of the Trades building. The sculpture first came to UVSC five years ago after the completion of the Science building. At that time, the sculpture came without any notification to President Kerry Romesburg or anyone else in the administration. "We really objected to it being where it was," said Cook. "And we really objected especially to them hanging it on our building and on our fountain." However, despite the intentions of Cook, David Holz, 1 Percent for Art administrator at the Utah Arts Council, and Johnston are upset about the move. Holz said Cook had no right to have the sculpture destroyed and moved. Holz said the act was Untitled, Page 7 At a glance: tike it Use 10 f I page 1Q cloud of smoke ' page ,2 Editorial .2 Feature . , tp".-rtetiOJi & World. .12 Student Life 14 Sports . . . . , , . .18
