Sun dogs flanked the silhouetted campanile Wednesday morning. Sun dogs, caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the atmosphere, show as bright, usually rainbow-colored spots on either side of the sun and at the same height above the horizon. Central campus was cold and quiet, awaiting the arrival of 'spring' semester Monday.
