Puxsutawney Phil
Groundhog Day revealed
six more weeks of winter
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — With bitter cold and fresh snow
fall as confirmation, part-time weatherman and full-time groundhog
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning and predicted six
more weeks of winter.
Spectators jumped and danced to keep warm in the 15-degree air
as the groundhog’s forecast was reported by his handlers.
The bitter cold may have deterred spectators who lacked Phil’s
lush fur. Organizers said they anticipated only 8,000 or 9,000 visi
tors, instead of the 15,000 who usually turn out.
“My toes are frostbitten, but it warms up if you start dancing,”
said Dan Pellam of Emporium, who was making his first visit to
Phil’s lair.
The Groundhog Day tradition is rooted in a German superstition
that if an animal casts a shadow' on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday
of Candlemas — bad weather is coming.
In the 111 years since German farmers began the festival in Punx
sutawney, the morning of Feb. 2 has evolved into an elaborate show
of hoodwinkery.
In years past, members of the Inner Circle, the club that stages
the annual midwinter festival, voted the night before whether or not
Phil would see his shadow, rain or shine.
Skies had been cloudy throughout Tuesday and into today, w ith
snow falling much of the time.
In this central Pennsylvania town of 6,700 people. Phil sees his
shadow most years. Only 14 times has he predicted an early spring.
Phil’s city cousin. New York’s Staten Island Chuck, agreed w ith
today’s forecast.
Chuck wandered out of his hut at the Staten Island Zoo and saw
his shadow around 7:30 a.m., said zoo spokeswoman Lorraine
Austin.
That didn’t discourage Georgia’s prognosticating groundhog.
General Beauregard Lee, who emerged from his home in Lilbum to
predict an early spring.
And in Sun Prairie, Wis., Jimmy the Groundhog predicted his
fourth straight early spring, w ith his human companions heartily hop
ing he would be right again.

The “Thank You” resolution w as presented to the Student
Senate to recognize the positive effects former director Dr.
Ben Welch had on the Department of Student Activities.
Welch is now director of the Center for 1 xeeutivc Develop
ment at the Lowry Mays College of Business.
“1 don’t know many things in my life that mean as much
to me as this resolution,” Welch said. “I will always relish
and treasure the involvement I had and w ill continue to have
with the students at Texas A&M University.”
Four new resolutions came before the Senate and were
approved for further review.
