Rumors are a cons THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN. | SERVING THe CULLOW ALE 388. 9.1.) 0 F Volume /6, Issue Justin Caudell | Editor-in-Chief Almost 40,000 customers were without power after a storm that dumped more than a half of foot of snow across Western North Carolina last Saturday, Jan. 30 for the second time this winter. According to Cullowhee Weather Service, Western Carolina University received 8 inches of snow after the white powder began falling on Friday afternoon. Moisture from the Gulf coast on the wings of a strong low-pressure system collided at the start of the weekend with cold air sweeping down from the north to cause the winter blast according to National Weather Service | meteorologist Scott Krentz And like the Dec. 18 storm that dumped nearly a foot of snow across the region, a dramatic upward shearing of winds in the atmosphere created the high SET anion spstesess\dvabes vera sanvenjankenedy ete bafisednerseseenneente The Snow Man is in!

Two particular rumors [| heard dealt with university poli- cies regarding recreational activities in the snow.

On Thursday of exam week, | had Little Honda all packed up and ready to blast out of Cullowhee. To make a boring story short, I took - the exam, skipped to Little Honda, and headed home without looking back. At that point, | was un- aware of what I had escaped. Hours later, everyone else still in Cullowhee experi- enced the power of Mother Nature. According to web- site Weather Underground, Mother Nature poured a mix of snow. and rain on Cullo- whee for over nineteen hours straight and continued through the weekend. Snow hit Western Caro- lina on the worst day, the final day of exams, the day Western Carolina was sup- posed to completely shut down for winter. Roads were closed down, exams were cancelled, and it was too scary to drive. Facebook statuses read stuck @ col- lege, snowed in 4 idk how long, and Help! Im stuck in da Whee! For some stu- dents, that weekend topped their list of The Longest Weekends of My Life. As much as I wanted to get home, snow still would have been a blessing as it is hard to come by in Gas- Hoey Auditorium catches fire during exams accumulations. This storm had some of the same features as the one in December, Krentz said. It hit the Gulf and then just increased the amount of moisture. We got a lot of moisture and a lot of lift. There was also a deep upward motion. When that happens you can get a lot of precipitation. As a result of the snow, is n County. We did, in fact, gt a cups worth of Cullo- whees snow, but there is nothing like the heaps that were found on University Way. Me, Im still a kid at heart and when it really snows, | hit the outdoors and build snow families, have epic snowball fights, and mess around until sev- . eral body parts are numb. I assumed snowed-in students would do the same until I heard of rumored university policies: snow- ball fights are not allowed and building a snowman is considered destruction of campus grounds. They were posted on flyers across the -walls of Walker dorm. My reaction? I beg your par- don?! Since when does a happy-go-lucky snowman with a carrot nose become destroyed property? And as long as you're not packing ice in those snowballs, ever heard of Snow Day recre- ational activities? What are the kids supposed to do? Oh, right, act like adults, act mature. Umm... you should meet my mom! I heard about the fly- ers from a friend. Not that . I dont trust him, but you can only believe half of what you read, and I tend to question everything I hear. So, are these policies real, why do they exist, and are they enforced? I scoured the university policy pages on Western Carolinas web- site and found nothing. So, I went to the head Catamount: Chancellor John W. Bardo. Surprisingly, I received a responding email from Bardo saying, I have not: heard those rumors... | am aware of issues on a num- CAMPUS VIEWS Visit us al Www. wWesterncarolinian.com Snow hits region hard for second time Western Carolina recieves 8 inches of snow, Jackson County declares State of Emergency 15,000 customers in Jackson County lost power at the height of the storm according to Duke Energy.

About 1000 workers were in the area restoring power over the entire weekend, but it was Photo by Jarrett Frazier ie # Heine ih A snowman that was built on ber of campuses regarding snowballs. I am not aware of any issue with snowmen or playing in the snow. He referred me to Dr. H. Samuel Miller, Vice Chan- cellor for Student Affairs, who did some digging for me. According to Miller, actions against snowball fights are not located in uni- versity policy literature, but instead in the Student Code of Conduct. Under the heading of Prohibited Conduct, num- ber seventeen once stated, Snowballing on any uni- versity premises other than the intramural fields is forbidden (Well, now you know where to have an epic snowball fight! Meet you there!). Miller continued to write that the specific snowball rule was removed when a new Code of Con- impossible to say when power would be restored to all, Williams said. Most should have had their power restored by Tuesday. Hopefully, as we bring on major circuits, we'll have a lot of customers come back on. Western Carolina University moved up the womens basketball game versus Georgia Southern on Saturday as a result of the snow and possible ice on Saturday night and many campus scheduled programs were postponed or cancelled altogether. Most business were also closed over the weekend, though some restaurants such as Nick and Nates in Sylva, who ran on half. power Saturday afternoon, serviced customers. as i or aaa campus during last weekends snow storm. duct was implemented because we felt the Code already covered harming others, damaging property, etc. We really arent sure why? it (snowball fighting) was specifically listed, but I would guess it goes back to some incident... Tying up loose ends, Miller finished with he also did not know anything about rules against snowmen. So, why would a RD of Walker Hall put up a flyer for prohibited actions that the Vice Chancellor does not even know about? Well, she didnt. Laura Ansley, RD of Walker Hall, explained there are no rules against snowman-building. Flyers claiming such were either not official flyers or never existed. It is a ridiculous ru- mor, and nowadays, one can Photo by Justin Caudell: Photo by J ustin C aude have a snowball fight just about anywhere on campus as long as one is not throw- ing them to maliciously harm another.

The Catamounts remain unbeaten at home this season with 1] consecutive wins, which matches a school record set last season. The two teams fought for first place in the SoCon as the Cougars had their seven game winning streak snapped by the Catamounts. The two teams combined for 30 made 3-pointers, each shooting over 50-percent from beyond the arc. As fans packed the house for Steve White Out night, the Catamounts used the crowds energy to pace themselves to a 15-3 lead within the first five minutes of the game. WCU senior Jake Robinson pointers made, connecting on all four of his long- -range shots in the game. Robinson, who finished with 16 points, stepped back and buried a three- pointer from the left wing to claim the school record with 12:16 remaining in the first half. Junior Richie Gordon posted a season- high 19 points to lead five Catamounts in double figures. The Cougars found their momentum during the close of the first half as they closed the gap to go into halftime only down 47-45. After consecutive baskets coming out of the half, the Cougars took their first lead of the night at 49-47 and later led by as many as four points at 60-56. With Charleston holding a 65-64 advantage, Western Carolina took the lead for _ good with a 9-to-3 run that started with a runner in the lane by first-time starter Mike Williams and included consecutive dunks by Brandon Giles and Adrian Gailliard, giving the Catamounts the lead at 73-68. Charleston managed to close to within four points, 88-84, inside the final five minutes on Goudelocks sixth 3-pointer of the night. However, the Catamounts used consecutive inside buckets by Gordon to end the Cougars threat as Charleston missed five of its final six shots including four 3-point attempts.
