rooted trees to the preventative
measures taken by facilities ser
vices last year to remove poten
tially dangerous trees on campus.
Despite the stormy weather,
Pressman said there are only a
few leaky roofs on campus. The
Knight Library, the Chiles Busi
ness Center and Friendly Hall are
currently experiencing some
leakage problems, she said.
“It used to be much worse,”
Pressman said. “In the last five
years, facilities services has re
placed a significant number of
roofs on campus and that has
greatly improved the leakage
problems.”
A few parking lots on campus
may also be in danger of flooding
because of blocked storm drains.
Leaves accumulating over
storm drains is a big factor in
flooding problems, she said. Fa
cilities services tried to clear the
leaves before the break, but the
problem is common this time of
year.
Facilities services is responsi
ble for the bulk of maintenance
on campus, but it does not cover
the auxiliary buildings such as
the residence halls or the EMU,
Pressman said.
Nancy Wright, director of facil
ities for University Housing, said
there have been a few minor
weather-related problems so far.
There has been one reported
leaky roof in the University Inn
and some minor flooding in a
basement storage room in Earl
Complex, Wright said.
A sump-pump is in place in
the Earl basement to correct the
problem because one of the
perimeter drains isn’t working.
“If the sump-pumps weren’t
running, there would be a lot
more flooding,” Wright said.
But throughout all the storms,
Wright said she thinks the resi
dence halls have been lucky so
far this year due to new roofs on
all the buildings.
“There's a lot of ground water
in this area, but we feel our
buildings are in good shape,” she
said.

Crisis
Continued from Page 1
who continue to attend the Uni
versity have a difficult road
ahead of them.
“Students who are still here,
working and studying, trying to
complete their programs, have
really taken on a courageous
burden,” Stark said. “For the
most part, students are very
motivated to complete their ed
ucation, despite these tough
times.”
Adeline Chen, a senior from
Malaysia, is one of the students
who decided to finish her educa
tion at the University, despite the
increased financial burden on
herself and her family.
“The economic crisis hit only
three months after I arrived
here," Chen said. "1 was immedi
ately worried. I knew that I had
to get a job and apply for scholar
ships to support myself and to
continue going to school.”
But she said her situation is
luckier than most.
“I know students who are hav
ing a very hard time,” Chen said.
“I have friends who are working
between 30 and 40 hours a week
to pay for tuition, and I don’t un
derstand how they do it. I have a
job too, but I don’t work nearly as
much. My parents are taking out
loans to help me finish my edu
cation.”
The OIEE and the Business Af
fairs Office have instituted pro
grams to aid those students af
fected by the Asian crisis. They
have established scholarship op
portunities, loans and a deferred
payment plan that are aimed at
easing the financial burden for
many people.
Stark said the offices originally
planned on making $50,000 in
scholarships available in amount
of approximately $1,000. The of
fices ended up issuing 62 schol
arships, in varying amounts, for
those who qualified for financial
need.
“We know that students are
taking advantage of these oppor
tunities,” Stark said.
The U.S. immigration service
is also helping ease the burden
for international students by tem
porarily allowing them to take
less than 12 credits and letting
them get a job off campus.
“Working off campus was
granted only by the immigration
service, and it took a long time to
get authorized,” Stark said.
“They speeded up the process so
that students can be less than
full-time students and can work
on or off campus."
Students like Harten are grate
ful for all the aid they have re
ceived, but he and others wish
the University could do more.
Without additional assistance,
Harten fears the majority of inter

national students will be forced
to return home.
“I want to see this University
make temporary changes during
this time that Asia is in crisis,”
Harten said. “I want to see the
University give other students,
who can’t afford to go to school, a
chance, by either offering more
financial aid or more loan oppor
tunities.”
Stark wants to help those stu
dents impacted by the interna
tional crisis as much as possible,
however, she believes the OIEE
could be forced to reduce its
scholarship opportunities in the
future.
"At this point, we probably
can’t continue with this level of
scholarship assistance because
that would further invade the
principle of our endowed ac
count,” Stark said. “We need to
be able to continue building up
the funds for our future stu
dents.”
Although many international
students will continue to struggle
for financial assistance, the Uni
versity is determined to provide
as many options as possible for
those hit the hardest.
“The University is going to do
everything it can to help keep
these students here,” Stark said.
“We want these students to fin
ish.”
