“The only thing is. we have
been waiting for weeks for the
Physical Plant to come out and
move the wiring so we can
finish the building," Reynolds
said.
Many of the materials used in
the building were obtained by
“scrounging,” he said.
“We have a door that used to
belong to Domino's Pizza, and
windows and doors taken out of
Emerald Hall," he said. Some of
the outside fences are from the
Amazon family housing area,
and the wood used to build the
outside play structures boast
several layers of peeling paint.
The University does not give
any money to the child care pro

SKI THE BEST
FOR A WHOLE LOT LESS!!!
At Hoodoo Ski Bowl, you get more skiing value than ever
before. Hoodoo is on the north side of the mountain so we get
more snow and better packed runs with a variety, from beginners'
slopes to the most difficult hotdog runs.

gram,” Reynolds said.
The IFC does have a parent
subsidy account. But qualified
parents can use this for any
child care facility they choose,
and the money is similar to
financial aid — the child care
center does not receive any
direct benefit.
Maintenance problems
recently faced by Reynolds and
his staff include loose fences in
the playground and unstable
playground equipment.
Reynolds hopes to replace the
roof of one non-heated indoor
play area with corrogated
fiberglass to make the room
warmer and lighter. Several
buildings also will need new
roofs in the immediate future,
he said.
In November, the State Child
Care Division informed
Reynolds that the Child Care
and Development Center was
breaking a state safety code by
not having covered light bulbs
in the Moss/Brown, and
Vi Hard/Green houses. Reynolds
sent a request to the EMU to
make the changes, which was
then forwarded to both the
Physical Plant and the housing
department.
Four months later, the work
has only just been completed by
the Physical Plant, and the
housing department still has the
bulbs on order, although in re
cent months both departments
are becoming more responsive,
Reynolds said.
Mike Wieber of the ASUO
Child Care Task Force takes his
child to the EMU child care
center. He believes there are a
lot of false perceptions about
the child care program.
“A lot of people only see the
EMU center, which was built a
few years ago. It has new equip
ment, and everything looks
great because money has been
put into it." Wieber said. "The
rest of the child care areas are
funky old houses that people
don’t even know exist,” he
said.
"Some of the rooms are so
dark. The teachers do go to
great lengths to turn them into a
positive environment, but it is
hard to do," he said.
According to Marjory Ramey,
director of University Housing,
"There is a sharp difference bet
ween maintenance and
improvements.”
Improvements consist of
more insulation, remodeling
and adding on, she said.
Maintenance is keeping the roof
intact, keeping the grounds up
and maintaining the plumbing,
she said.
Maintenance of the buildings
is adequate, she said. "When
we are asked to do some
maintenance, we do it im
mediately. We are very careful
to keep our part of the
maintenance up," she said.
The maintenance budget
comes from the housing depart
ment’s budget, which consists
of dorm resident’s fees and rent
from Westmoreland and
