Watchless workers to blame for repeat protest
By Lisa Miilcgan
Emerald Reixxter
After Geology Prof Harvo
Waff led almUt 200 students to
Johnson Mall Wednesday to
protest noisy roof (construction
alxive his u :i() Dynaniii l.arth
( lass, he thought he had the
problem solved
Hut when the banging began
again Friday morning. Waff
soon learned that once Is some
times not enough
After waiting live minutes for
the noise to stop, the professor
decided to mar< h the students
to the administration building
to protest again and find a qui
eter place to conduct class
"Wo were sure Wednesday
that everything was fine and
then we returned Friday and it
started Up again." he said We
just want to get on with the
business of teaching."
A student in Waff's class said
tlie professor wasn't worried
Construction noise resumes,
class of 200 protests again
about the possible consii
qunncos of .repeating the pro
tesl
"Hu said, 'Tenure is so nice
because they can’t kick me out
and I can say what I \s.int,’"
said Jennifer (amts, quoting tier
professor
When ttie students arrived,
they listened to apologies from
University President Myles
Brand and Physical Plant Direc
tor George Met lit, and learned
that the officials had indeed
told the roofers the day before
to stop work before the class
begun The workers just didn't
know what time it was
Hecht, who was embarrassed
alxiut the mix-up, immediately
went to 150 Columbia to find
out what went wrong when he
learned students were again
crowding Johnson Hall
When he got up on the roof,
he asked one of tlio crew why
they were Mill working.
"The guy said, 'Wo can work
until 9 :t0.' I asked him what
time it was and ho said he
didn't have a watch and ho
yelled to another guy 'Hoy, Joe,
what time is it?' It was five
minutes to 10," Hocht said.
After Hocht told them they
would have to stop working,
one worker asked him if the
crow could continue for 10
more minutes.
"I said, 'Absolutely not,’ "
Hocht said. "They're just not
sensitive to it at all. They're
good roofers hut they just don't
understand what it's like for
the classes "
The Columbia Hall workers'
apparent lack of respect for the
University's wishes didn't go
unnoticed hv brand.
"I'm not pleased with their
performant e," he Nani "\\
going to station someone up
thorn and make sum that
doesn’t happen again."
However Hecht said the
workers have told him they
may be done with the building
this weekend.
The classroom is just one of
about ill) that has been repaired
or renovated recently, but until
Wednesday, Hecht said he
hadn't heard any complaints
Hecht said he hopes noise
complaints won't be .1 problem
Brand said he sympathized
with Waff and didn't blame
him for his actions.
"If I wore in his place, I
would have done; the same
thing." he said.
Waff said ho has no plans to
retake Johnson Hall today even
if the banging should continue
"I have a good feeling that
the problem's resolved," he
said. "If the contractor doesn't
have a watch, we’ll go up there
and tell him."
