Freshman biology major Stephan Toth takes a snowball to the face in a fight with freshmen Jillian Kiley and Brittany Wilson outside the Towers Friday.
Snowfall keeps many
students inside; storm
not necessarily sign
of what's to come
Cailin McGough
The Towerlight
This weekend's winter storm
dumped more than 11 inches of
snow on the Towson area, leaving
drivers with slick roads and students
with one or two more days off
school.
With the University closed Friday
and Saturday, many students took
the opportunity to catch up on work
or sleep.
Karen Lemmert, a freshman early
childhood/special education major,
said she spent a lot of the weekend
sleeping after the storm kept her
from going home to Crofton, Md. for
a church event.
"I woke up, looked outside,
checked the school Web site to make
sure I didn't have class, and went
back to sleep," she said. Sunday
afternoon, however, she was outside
in the Towson Run parking lot with
her friend Jessica Hammond shovel¬
ing out Hammond's car.
"I don't even have a car here; my
car's at home," Lemmert said. "I'm a
good friend, what can I say?"
Hammond, also a freshman, said
she also spent most of the weekend
inside the Towers.
"I didn’t have any clothes to play
in,” she said.
Desiree Thompson, a junior early
childhood education major, said that
while she likes the snow, she did not
like it on Friday because it cancelled
her poetry class.
"I had a presentation to give and
now I have to give it [Monday]," she
said.
Thompson spent her day off
inside working on a paper for one of
her classes.
Sophomore English major Patrick
Cook said he spent Friday shoveling
his grandfather's walk and sitting at
the computer watching movies all
day.
"I did, however, stay up Thursday
night until two o'clock doing a
report due Friday," he said of a paper
for a theater class. "I guess if I had-

Bush speaks at Home
Depot after fund-raiser

HALETHORPE, Md.
President Bush raised $1 million
in Baltimore on Friday for his re-
election, then visited a suburban
Home Depot and
told workers his
tax cuts were
helping con¬
sumers spend the
economy out of
its doldrums.
Bush said
Friday he couldn't buy any of the
lawn tractors, tools or home
improvement goods. "I left my
credit card at home," he joked.
Later, he said he might do his part
at some point to spur economic
growth, "maybe buy a chain saw."
Sitting on a stage in front of
stacks of plywood and paint, Bush
"This economy is good.
It can be better, so
people find work."
President George Bush
noted that November's jobless
rate, announced shortly before his
trip, dipped to its lowest level in
eight months, 5.9 percent, as
employers added new jobs for a
fourth month in a row.
"This economy is good," Bush
told local small
business owners
and store employ¬
ees, many of
them wearing
orange work
aprons. "It can be
better, so more
people find work.'"
The gross domestic product, the
broadest measure of the econo¬
my's performance, increased at an
8.2 percent annual rate in the third
quarter. That burst, the strongest
growth since the first quarter of
1984, and a surge in consumer
