Dickson, no road leaving the campus was left uncrowded. A backup of cars lasted for over two hours as over eight inches of snow accumulated over the approximate eight hours of snowfall. THE LAST time the MSC campus was closed for snow was on Mon., Dec. 17, 1973, when ice complicated a snowfall of lesser amount to make conditions treacherous. To hasten the traffic flow on Wednesday, the main entrance road was opened to the exiting automobiles. Use of the rear exits was cautioned against because the hilly areas past the quarry were too slippery. While the commuters were busy digging out their cars, the MSC ground crew, headed by Joseph McGinty, the engineer in charge of maintenance, worked to clear the campus. ACCORDING TO President Dickson, the ground crew was working since 9 am to clear the grounds. Extras were hired to aid the crew.
