A failed sprinkler head that went off in a second floor studyroom around 4 P.M. caused the flood. Over 100 pounds per square inch pressure was released. The student studying in theroom notified the library staff immediately. "There were between two and three thousand gallons of water released from the One sprinkler," said Ed Meachen Associate Vice Chancellor of InfonmationServices. "There are hundredsof square feet of carpet damaged;destroyed." The third floor is the only area not damaged. Carpeting in the Instructional Media Center and Infront of the second floor study rooms Was damaged. The book- stacks on the second floor that were on loan from UW- Milwaukee will have to be moved. "Only because we had plas- tic available could we cover the bookstacks," said Meachen. "We didn't lose any books due to the wonderful library staff on duty. We had a whole bunch of stu- dents who helped, who didn't even work here, and they were getting ready for finals" But, "It was funny because some of the students kept on studying right through the whole disaster." Those who abandoned their books for a few minutes to help out were: Mark Rizzo, Joel Buschmann, Vilay Phonesavanh, Lisa Lewis, Deborah Eden, Sarah Masley and Jeanne Sanchez. David Gehring and Linda Piele of the library staff were on hand to assist the students. Rosann Mason and her daughter were in the library also and helped out. The ceiling in the office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) came down, destroying computers and miscellaneous papers. "The water in the hall- ways was coming down like a waterfall," said Meachen. Also, on the 91 level, the paper storage room for duplicat- ing received damage but was able to be saved from complete destruction. Meachen estimated the cost for repairs to be between $30.000 and $40,000. The carpet will cost from $29,000 to $30,000 to replace. The ceiling tile, at about $50 a tile, will cost between $10,000 and $1 1,000. However, he said, there will be bare concrete floor until the damaged carpet areas are replaced in May. Meachen said there is a TUmor that a student in the sec- ond floor study room, a few days prior to the flood, witnessed drip- ping water, but did not report it. Had the report been filed, he said, $40,000 in damage could have been prevented. "I can not praise enough all the work the students did that night," he said.

Postcards were collected from students, parents, alumni, prospective students, friends, and community leaders. "More than 13,500 were collected which shows the high level of concern people have for the UW System," said Timothy L. Casper, president of United Council of UW Students. The UW System budget suffered a net cut of $43 million in state support, and tuition increases totaled 10.5 percent to 14.2 percent during the 1995-97 biennium. The result of admin- istrative cuts was a reduction in services and access to them. UW institutions were forced to limit the number of course sec- tions and to offer others less frequently. There were also reductions in campus police and public safety services. For the 1997-99 biennium, the UW System was instructed to submit budget plans for a 3 percent increase and also a 3.5 percent reduction. According to Steve Perala, legislative affairs director of United Council of UW Students, "If the UW System sees another cut in state support, there will be even greater reductions in classes and an increase in department closings, which would be dev- astating to students and their potential job opportunities." Students are particularly concerned with two funding ini- tiatives: academic advising and distance education. Better advising would improve the retention of freshmen, help stu- dents take courses that would make them more marketable in the workforce, and allow stu- dents to get their degrees in a shorter period. "This is the part of the bud- get UW System students have set as apriority," said Amy Bechtum, academic affairs director of United Council of UW Students. The UW System budget also requested funding for site support in distance education and improvements in classroom technology. This funding would allow increased access to stu- dents who wish to participate in distance learning, as well as provide support for faculty and staff who need additional instruction on how to offer these courses to students. "Distance Education is a growing field," said Bechturn. "Students want to be sure that if they are tak ing these courses, they wi II have the support and appropriate technology to ensure that they are getting a quality education." "Students are concerned about the future of funding for the UW System and are urging the Governor to make higher education a priority in the upcoming state biennial bud- get," said Casper.

A main- tenance supervisor set off Safety when using bank ATM's According to securi- ty experts, the chances of being involved in an ATM, also called "automated teller machines," crime in the United States are very remote. Only one in every 3.5 million transactions results in a robbery. Nevertheless, ATM crimes do occur, so consumers need to be cautious and vig- ilant when transacting busi- ness at an ATM. ATMs can be found throughout most communi- ties. The 24-hour per day convenience of using ATMs to conduct banking business has grown to over 7-billion per year. With such a phe- nomenal growth in use, the potential for robbery. also grows. However; with a number of simple precau- tions your trip to the ATM can be a safe, efficient and positive experience: • Nearly half of all ATM crimes occur between the hours of 7 p.rn. and mid- night. That's why it's important to look for ATM machines that have good lighting and are in a location that is highly tr ave le d. • When using an ATM, perform a quick visual scan of the machine itself and the immediate area sur- rounding it. If you see any- thing odd or anyone who looks or is acting suspi- cious, simply do not use that machine and choose another. * Avoid setting a pattern of always using the same machine at the same time of day or the same day of the week. • If you feel safer using an ATM in daylight, be aware of changing seasonal pat- terns and shift to making transactions in the morning or during your lunch hour in winter rather than waiting until after work when it gets dark early in the after- noon. * Avoid locations with excess shrubbery, nearby blind cor ner s, or a design which does not provide you with clear lookout and a safe feeling. • Approach the machine prepared. Do not fumble around when USIng a machine at" night or when other people are in 'line waiting to use the machine. By making every effort to conduct your transaction quickly and efficiently, and by getting on your way rapidly, you make yourself less of a target for a wou ld- be thief. • Have your ATM card out and ready to use. Have your PIN (personal identifi- cation number) memorized and know what business you want to transact. • Never write your PIN on your ATM card. Do not write it anywhere with a notation a robber could access, who might rummage through your belongings, * Show the same concern and wariness when bringing cash to an ATM machine for deposit as when leaving with cash you have with- drawn. When depositing checks, always use a restricted endorsement such as "For Deposit Only." Do not use the ATM machine to deposit coins. * Exercise extreme caution and do not give out infor- mation about your card or PIN by phone, even to someone you think may be : connected with your bank. If there is a problem with your account or PIN, dis- cuss it in person. • When using a drive- th rough ATM, keep your engine running, keep all doors locked, keep windows other than the one used in the transaction rolled up. Observe what is happening around and behind you before rolling down the window to use the ATM, and be aware of any strange movements throughout the transaction. • If you encounter an ATM site that is poorly lighted, has obstructed views, or has overgrown shrubbery, report the problems to the financial institution so it can rectify them. We all must use the very same pre- cautions in using ATMs as when carrying cash to or from the bank itself. 8y doing so, we will ensure that our transactions are efficient and safe.
