Learn about snow closings by listening to local stations
                                                       
     When the weather outside is frightful with winter storms of snow
and ice, University employees and students should listen to local 
radio stations for news of late openings, early closings or  
cancellations at the University.                             
     Members of the campus community are asked not to call the
Department of Public Safety so that telephone lines can remain open
for emergency calls.                                         
     According to Maxine Colm, vice president for employee relations,
the University's policy is to remain open whenever possible during
extreme weather conditions. If no formal announcement of closing, late
opening or early dismissal is made, employees who decide for personal
reasons not to report or to leave early must take vacation time or
leave without pay.                                           
     Employees in essential positions are required to report to work
during extreme weather conditions. These employees will be designated
by their directors in Dining Services, Plant Operations, Housing and
Residence Life, Student Health Services, Public Safety, the Morris
Library and Computing and Network Services.                  
     For more information on the extreme weather policy, employees
should contact their supervisors.                            
     Radio stations in the Newark vicinity that are advised of
emergency closing bulletins by the University include WVUD, WILM, 
WSTW, WJBR, WSER, WNRK, WDEL and WAMS.
