The P and S beside the U: Every town in
Utah and Idaho boasts a collection of white-painted rocks on the hill above town
that spell out the name of the local high school or college. So it is that
a giant U appears in the foothills above the University of Utah. This year
field campers cornered the market on paper towels. In the early hours they
ascended the hill and put down enough towel sheets, anchored by rocks, to form a
spidery P and S in front of the U (see photo below). The letters were filmed by a helicopter
crew and featured on the morning news, but no one apparently knew what they
meant!
