The campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology WILL be open on
Monday, February 5, 1996.

You will not get the day off.  You will not get even a fraction of the
day off.  If you have a test and you don't come to school, you will 
screw yourself over.  There's no getting around it.  There will be school
tomorrow.  Quit whining.

The Georgia Tech Police Department requests students to cease calling them
for campus status information.  There is no non-emergency line at GTPD,
and the emergency lines are being overwhelmed.  Besides, calling them
is pointless, because the campus WILL be open tomorrow.

Similarly, WREK points out that an announcement on campus status is
made on our airwaves at least every ten minutes, and that calling the
station won't change the status any quicker.  We need our limited phone
lines too.  Please listen (we can be heard for a good 50 miles with a
properly positioned antenna, unless you're hiding on the far side of a
mountain), rather than call, to find out about campus status.

Of course, WREK hopes you'll tune in for reasons other than to find
out about campus status.  But if that's the only thing you're worried
about, don't bother, because:

The Campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology WILL be open on
Monday, February 5, 1996.

I know the campus will be open tomorrow, I just want to know when.
When are classes starting tomorrow morning?  I heard a statement
on the school closings line that GA Tech will be starting classes
at 10:00am.  I just want to verify that information.

>tomorrow.  Quit whining.
I wasn't whining.  I wanted verification.  If you want whining, make
me listen to your mus... Oh, I better not.

The Institute terminology for late opening, and thus the terminology we
use at WREK, is "closed until XXXX", where XXXX is the time at which
the campus closed condition is lifted.

The "Campus open" condition implies a regular schedule.

I'm told that WSTR is distributing this information.  WSTR is dead wrong.

The campus WILL be open tomorrow.
