Flood warning
by Gary Johnson
News Editor
Who said the suites were a
better choice than the residence
halls? 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."

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.
Sojne students felt that the
White-Out did not reach aWrite
enough audience. ”Persomdly, I
don't think some people knew
why it was going on," said
Shawn Gallagher, an eighth
semester communication major.
To improve next year's White-

apartments. I don't know if there
will be any monetary
compensation."
The students' reactions weren't
quite as calm.'
"I'm very upset about this. I
didn't pay tuition to have my
room flooded. 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."
