Letter to the Editor
Snow, ice made walks on campus dangerous

Graham Spanier has put all of our lives in danger. I had to walk to class in the snowy and icy conditions last Tuesday, and the conditions yesterday were just as bad. After ending up in the emergency room after a nasty fall, all I can think about is how close I came to breaking my head open. The same goes for yesterday, when snow hid the ice from the weekend's rain, making conditions even more treacherous. After three painful falls in the past week, I think it's time for Spanier to start thinking about all the students who have to walk on the icy sidewalks. He should either cancel classes or have salt put down on the sidewalks. Maybe then Ritenour won't be crowded with injured students, and there won't so many crutches and casts on campus.
