Snow in winter is nothing new to Okla-
homans. but to two Eastern students from
the Bahamas, it is quite a phenomenon.
Until last week, freshman Roy Pinder
and sophomore Michael Wilson had never

Both were in basketball practice Jan. 13

Wilson said, "I’ve always wanted to see
it. I liked it somewhat when it first came
down."
