night will go to the Alya and Leslie Memorial scholarships.

The SNC Idol semi-finals will be held Feb. 20 at 8:30 p.m. in the Ray Van

Old St. Joseph Church to celebrate the beginning of the Lenten season.

Polar Palooza is set for Thursday, Feb. 22 from 6-10 p.m. in front of the

The finals of SNC Idol will be held Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. for ten finalists

performing with a live karaoke band in the Campus Center. Admission is free

The snow sculpting competition will take place on Sunday, Feb. 25, as teams

try to create the biggest and best snow sculptures. The event begins at

10:30 a.m., and judges will declare the winners at 4 p.m. The public is
