From the UNI FB page:
"UNI President Mark Nook signed a presidential proclamation yesterday declaring Monday, April 23, as the official Tropical Celebration (TC) Day at UNI!
Here is the full text of the proclamation:
Whereas it is April 18th and classes were canceled due to a snow storm, and
Whereas, the first snowfall of the season occurred 174 days ago on October 27, 2017, and
Whereas winter and spring have combined this year to produce wining (pronounced wīn' ing), and
Whereas this Saturday marks one full month after the vernal equinox (astronomically the first day of spring), and
Whereas no Spring Semester should end at UNI without students relaxing in Purple and Gold Adirondack chairs and hammocks on the Campanile lawn.
Therefore, be it declared that Winter has lasted long enough and Monday, April 23, 2018 is officially Tropical Celebration (TC) Day at the University of Northern Iowa.
All students, faculty and staff members are encouraged to wear their favorite Aloha shirt, muumuu, pareo, board shorts, flip flops, Tevas, lei and/or other island wear.
The Purple and Gold Adirondack chairs will be on the Campanile lawn and the hanging of hammocks across campus is expected.
Tropical treats will be available at the President's Office (Seerley Rm 1) from 12:30 p.m. until they run out. Please stop by and help us spread the island spirit.
Signed the Eighteenth Day of April, Two-thousand eighteen."
