Heavy snowfall covered Tyler last week leaving behind more than 6 inches of snow. The University cancelled night classes Thursday and all classes on Friday. However, this did not keep students from being on campus. They built snowmen and played in the snow both days.

All the activity kept the University Police Department busy with noise complaints and snowmen duty. Various sources reported several snowmen had to be destroyed because of the sexually explicit nature in which they were created. Mounds of snow blocking pathways also had to be removed.

Student Government Association senate seats are currently vacant including the secretary’s. SGA president Amy Whitehouse said there are currently only 14 of 26 senate seats filled after Mikal Huff abruptly resigned as secretary Feb. 1 via e-mail.

Huff told the Patriot Talon he needed to devote more time to his 15-hour course load. “I learned a lot from being secretary and had fun doing it,“ he said. “I would recommend it to anyone if they can manage the time.”
