 SNOW BREAK: Outside Quinn Coliseum, Eastern Oregon University students Brock Merril and Brenna Fischer take a break from their basketball fan duties to enjoy some cool and snowy play during the break between Mountaineer women’s and men’s basketball games last weekend. Oh, to love
what is lovely,
and will not last!
What a task
to ask of anything, or anyone,
yet it is ours,
and not by the
century or the year, but by the hours.
