Taking a break: Scott Defoggi, a fifth semester Business Management
major, watches television in the second floor Niagara television lounge,
which he now calls home due to overcrowding problems. Defoggi shares the
lounge with four other students.

they're not coming, so we plan
for that by "booking" extra
students," said Bowen.
"Sometimes it takes a week or
t4vo,to get people settled, but
this is the first time that
something like this has
happened."
Currently, there are three
students living in the Perry
Hall television lounge and five
in the Niagara television
lounge. At one point, there
were 38 extra students staying
in various dormitory rooms --
three students for a room
designed for two.

this," said Bowen. "It's an
unfortunate situation, but it's
one of the pitfalls of
'overbooking' students, which
allowed us to fill our rooms
and gave more students a
chance to have on-campus
housing." Bowen said the
practice has been discontinued
in favor of a waiting list
system
As for room fees, the
housing contract all on-campus
students had to sign notes that
students "will receive a rate
adjustment if the assignment
continues beyond the second
week of class. The adjustment
will be made when the student
is moved out of temporary
space or after the twelfth week

What that means, according
to Bowen, is that students
staying two weeks or longer in
a temporary room will receive
an adjustment to their room
charges. "If they wind up
staying there beyond
weeks," Bowen added, "they'll
receive an adjustment for the
semester. The adjustment
depends on the length of their
stay in temporary housing."
As for when the students in
Perry and Niagara can move
into regular rooms, Bowen
couldn't say. "It depends on
when rooms open up. There
isn't a definite time frame."
