H junior Greg lers said, when asked IIllout feelingson living in the )\lsldencehalls for his second year. < Theresidence halls are be- pming their second year and manystudents are dissatls- liedabout how they are run ind how quickly their reo ~sts are acted upon. Many students paid for l"damages to the rooms that Ibeywere responsible for at Ibeendoflast year, Payment tordamageswas taken out of .. securitydeposit paid at the beglnntng of the year. When Ibestudents came back this fall, the repairs and mainte- nance were not done, and damagedarticles weren't reo 1lIaced. Peters commented that he and hts roommates were reo quired to pay $185, divided six ways, for a new table at the end of last year, When he cameback there was no new table,and the old one hadn't evenbeenfixed. In his apartment alone, the \ table, a few chairs, a door, a short in the stove arid a faulty smoke detector were paid to be replaced, but the condl. tions remained the same as of last week. Peters and his roommates fixed the table by themselves. They are promised a new one ••any day now." They also re- painted the walls of their rooms, on their own, but were still charged for repainting of their rooms. Bojdan Szafraniec, a soph- more living his second year. in the halls, pointed out that he couldn't see it being fair that they charge the same for two people in a single room that they do for two people in a double room. They have half the space and only one closet. "They're not really that bad, I mean the dorms are , halfway decent, but some of the things they do to you make you _mad." he ex- plained. "What's the use of having a security deposit if things don't get fixed?" Peters responded to the Issue of parties in the halls with the fOllowing, "The ad- ministration has to realize that this Isn't a normal campus where you can walk to house parties or bars. This is the main center of social activity, and the people that This chair was not intended to be a recliner. are of age should be allowed to drink in their rooms if they want to without fear of being fined because they have minors who room with them." "If they want to control parties, they should control off-campus people coming to the halls to party," he sald. Another major problem felt by many students in the halls are the limited hours that they cal! get food on campus. The few hours on the week. ends and the lack of substan- tial nutritious food were seen as the two areas that could be Improved the most. Two sophomores and a jun. lor living in the halls com- mented on the situation, ask. Ing to remain anonymous. They wtll be called Smith, Brown and Jones. "The main problem Is the food, everyone Is upset about that," Smith, a sophomore, said. III went to a different university last year, and the food service was open on the weekends. Besides, the MInI Mart is only open for three hours on Saturday and Sun. day, so you have to walt to buy your food. The food in there isn't really substan- tial." He explained that Food Service prices were high as well. He said that almost every meal costs close to $4. He has only eight meal cards left for the rest of the semes- ter, and thinks that he wtll ron out before the semester is finished. Jones, a sophomore, goes home to Milwaukee every weekend, but "feels sorry for these guys. The food Is kind of expensive here. I mean, 70 cents for a glass of pop?" "Food Serivce is set up for commuters, not for us. It's set up for people who eat one meal a day. at Iunch, " Brown, a junior, said. Smith also explained that In instances when there Is a function being held in the din- Ing room, they (the students) - must eat In the Unlon Square.
