At least the dorms don't leak. Beginning with a dribble back in December 1992, the suites resumed their annual leaking with the thawing of the snow. "I'm very upset about this. I didn't pay tuition to have my room flooded." --Foluso Oguntoyinbo Second semester science major e contractor who built the suites thought that the problem was corrected after last year," said James Bowen, Director of Housing and Food Services. " "Last year, the flooding wasn't as bad. With the flooding this year, we have responded by giving the residents an option to go to vacancies in the driving," said Glee Jesteadt, a sixth semester communication major "It's okay to have a good time...lust be safe about it and take care of your friends." Most students felt the White- Out had a positive effect on attitudes towards drinking and driving. "It has a big impact on you," said Tom Pheasant, a. fourth semester electrical engineering major. "Its effective if people can see it and be 'made aware of it," said Susan Lynch, a sixth semester psychology major.

What really bothers me is that they knew about this before and didn't fix it. They shouldn't have put us in this room. I think they are really ignorant," said Foluso Oguntoyinbo, a second semester science major. According to Bowen, the contractor said that the flooding is probably due to ice buildup on the entrance roofs, causing a dam that makes the water back up and leak into the structure. Fourth semester psychology major Kristi Rhodes said, "I have no room to store anything. We need boots to turn on the heater in our room. It smells musty and it's just really irritating. I'm not looking forward to moving in with three strangers in the apartments, and my roommate and I can't even be together." pavrd lather conduct* T.l pia lain and Here* hxddril et y et: iliends l ee k en.
