to become saturated.
The problem, which first
occurred last year, was aildrescl
by Housing & Food Services,
but could not be corrected by the
designing architect nor other
contractors.
"Housing and Food Services
has called in the contractors and

architectural designers to try ba
determine, the source. of the
.problem," ',said James Bowen,
Director of Housing and Food
Services. "We are doing all we
can to get the problem corrected."
Originally, the contractors
believed that the situation was
caused by an imbalance of
temperature in the attic, so they
placed vents in the roof.
"It seems that
Housing is
providing
adequate support
now, but we are
very aggravated
that the problem
wasn't taken care
of last year, as it
should have
been."

However, this conclusion was
incorrect and the problem
persists. It has now been
suggested that leakage occurs due
to the amount of water that
thawed from the blizzard earlier
this year. The problem would
not occur if there were only a few
inches of snow or a simple rain.
"It seems that Housing is
providing adequate support now,
but we are very aggravated that

last year, as it should have been,
