in resident halts despite the
recent summer-like conditions
By Regina Brown
"W taueman earn*
Just when you thought Dead Week
couldn't get any wnrw, Mother Nature
came up with a tittle something to
increase the misery for students who
live in residence hails.
Since the arrival of the warm weather
last weekend, resident hail students
have been complaining about the
unbearable heal that drives them (Hit of
their rooms and forces them to endure
hot, tlkiy. sleepless nights
Residence halls will cool down once
the heating system is turned off tomor
row. said Mike Larimer, trade mainte
nance supervisor fee University housing.
Most residence halls do not offer air con
ditioning to give students any relief from
the heat, he said.
Been Complex has air conditioning in
the lounges and in the dining room, and
the kitchen of (arson Hall is air condi
tioned But only the University Inn has
air conditioning throughout the build
ing. larmier said Unfortunately their air
conditioning system is broken, he said
Some students find that their only
relief is to leave their stuffy rooms for
the library or the outdoors
"If your room feces the sun it's really
hot and sweaty.'’ said freshman Grace
Battendieri. who finds it difficult
study In the residence halls
The warm weather might also make
students more inclined to cause trouble,
said Stan Reeves, director of Oregon
Public Safety While no correlation can
he drawn between hot weather and mis
chievous behavior, last weekend OPS
did get more calls than usual, he said
"There was a higher chance for people
to be drinking more and for the inappro
priate behavior that goes along with that
to occur.* Reeves said. “People are feet
tog more inclined to lessen tension and
to let their hair down a little bit *
