Although the Maintenance Department has been notified of the damage, the most severe problems are being handled first. Junior Katie Johnson, a Resident Advisor in Harris D, said, "It was kinda bad, mostly the upstairs bathroom leaking through the roof and it came down through the first floor building," she said. "I called Campus Safety and housekeeping came to clean it up. There have been problems with the roof and I know the building leaked last year. I haven't heard anything from Maintenance." According to Secretary of Music Department Russ Litchfield, "The Music Building has various leaks—nothing has really been destroyed—but they are annoyances and mostly cosmetic. Our experience has been that facilities will deal with serious problems promptly, but minor problems sometimes Tammy Marashlian QC Assistant News Editor take a while to accomplish. We also understand that there are fiscal restraints and priorities must be made sometimes," said Litchfield. The Chapel's skylight is composed of glass panes. "A pane of glass that's slipped out of its normal place caused the rain to leak in," Litchfield said. "Its been this way for a while. Its above the center of "Now standing water in Platner is just an expected, natural consequence of storms in the same way a hangover is a natural consequence of Mona Kai..." Rich Cheatham Director of Media Center the stage, but there's been no damage because we keep the piano from under it and keep it covered when we don't use it. There have been instances with the rain and you can hear a plop, plop coming down from the skylight." Litchfield continued, "There is also one leak in the roof above the stairway in the main Music Build ing." However, "Nothing has been repaired yet and maintenance was here and are looking at the roof issue. There's been a response, but no action," Litchfield said. "We have had the problem in the past and it required a rigorous crew to fix it. It's a big deal to repair." Director of the Media Center Rich Cheatham said, "In Platner, everything that can be ruined already has been ruined long ago by previous storms. So now standing water in Platner is just an expected, natural consequence of storms in the same way a hangover is a natural consequence of Mona Kai or pimples after an evening of pigging out on chocolate." In addition, rooms in the Science Building were damaged. Professorof Biology Stephen Goldberg said, "The lab I teach in, Science 406, suffered water damage. Overhead tiles soaked with water and fell down. One microscope was damaged. I cleaned it up best I could." Director of Facilities Mark Ursic was unavailable for comment.
