Did You Know?
  • The Santa Ana wind occasionally blows through the Inland Empire, and its hot breath can be felt on Pomona's campus from time to time. Why is this neat? Well, the Santa Ana is one of the world's few ionized winds. What's an ionized wind, you ask? A wind with an ionic charge, of course. Duh. These winds blow off of the east side of mountain ranges to the east of a coast, and somehow pick up a very strong ionic charge. This charge actually affects the brain chemistry of all those it passes over, tending to kick brain activity into overdrive. Admissions to mental hospitals, murder, and suicide rates all increase dramatically in the wake of ionized winds such as the Santa Ana. So if a hot, dry, west-to-east wind is blowing, and people are acting a little strange, you might, for safety's sake, want to lock yourself up in your room without any sharp objects. Oh, and you should leave your shoe laces and belt outside, too, just in case.
  • What's that smell? A common question from new students at Pomona. It's Chino. Chino is about 15 miles from Pomona, and it's the home of a huge stockyard. On certain days, when the wind is wrong, the rather heady scent of the stockyards descends over Pomona. These days are dreaded at Pomona, and many will forgo classes and social engagements to stay in their room and burn purifying incense and candles. Housing forbids these items, so you better be careful!
