Hanszen basement off-limits
by Olivia Allison
THRESHER EDITORIA1 STAFF
Hanszen College President Erik
Vanderlip, along with Housing and
Dining, has "condemned" a room of
Hanszen's basement after two inches
of standing water and some unfin-
ished electrical work were found in
the basement under the new section
of the dorm Wednesday.
Few items were stored in the
basement, Vanderlip said.
7 don't think it's
dangerous so much as
you don't want to be
down there.'
— Frank Rodriguez
Housing and Dining
assistant director for business
Vanderlip sent an e-mail to the
Hanszen listserv Wednesday saying
the room, called the "B and P," would
be condemned for an undetermined
amount of time.
Frank Rodriguez, Housing and
Dining Assistant Director for Busi-
ness, said the standing water comes
not from the recent rain but from a
plumbing leak involving the toilets
above the room. Rodriguez said the
leaks would not be repaired until
next week.
The overhead lights in the base-
ment are unfinished, so some elec-
trical wires are dangling from the
ceiling. However, Rodriguez said this
problem should be repaired soon.
Much of the basement's ceiling was
removed this summer, when H&D
removed asbestos and replaced
pipes and insulation in the basement.
The work on the basement's ceiling
is still unfinished.
Rodriguez said the wires and un-
finished lights are not dangerous,
but the basement is still condemned
because of the room's numerous
problems.
"1 don't think it's dangerous so
much as you don't want to be down
there," Rodriguez said. "I know that
lights are hanging down, but as long
as people don't swing on the lights,
I don't see how it's dangerous."
Although the basement typically

A combination of low-hanging lights and two inches of water in a room of
Hanszen College's basement has caused Housing and Dining to ask students
not to enter the room.
serves as a storage area for students'
belongings during the summer, stu-
dents' possessions were not damaged
by the water because Hanszen rented
two trailers for storage this summer.
Vanderlip said he is glad Hanszen
decided not to use4 the basement rooms
as storage, since some of the college
basements were flooded this summer
during Tropical Storm Allison.
"We're kind of lucky that we got
these storage units," Vanderlip, a
senior, said. "It probably got pretty
bad earlier this summer — it's
flooded in the past, we know."
Other college items, such as some
tables, a ping-pong table and decora-
tions for the college's St. Patrick's
Day party, were stored in the room,
and Vanderlip said no one has
checked to see the extent of the
damage to these items, nor does he
know what has been thrown away.
H&D employees disposed of some
items when they removed asbestos.
Rodriguez said H&D would have
to paint the floor of the basement
room adjacent to the B and P before
the couches in the room could be
moved. However, Rodriguez said
previous problems have given him
some concern s about using the adja-
cent room.
"There are some issues there too
— there's been some molding in the
past and other problems in that
room," he said.
Rodriguez said H&D would con-
tinue to work hard at repairing the
basement, but it would probably take
at least two weeks.
"We'll do everything we can to
get it back up for Hanszen so they'll
have their storage area back."
Rodriguez said. "It's just gotten out
of hand, but we're working on it. ...
Several things have to happen, so it
could be a couple weeks."

2002, and rooms should be ready for
move-in on Jan. 28, Martel Master
Arthur Few confirmed Wednesday.
Housing and Dining administra-
tors are currently in the process of

building before all construction is com-
plete, Martel President Alice Hill said.
"We have placed a high priority
on completing the student rooms to
make sure that the students will be
able to move in as soon as absolutely
possible," White said.
