NEWS BRIEF
Residence hall repaired
after December fire
University Housing has repainted
walls, changed carpets and replaced a
bookshelf after a fire broke out in a resi
dence hall room in Hamilton Com
plex, forcing an early morning evacua
tion of the building on Dec. 6.
University freshmen Andrew Byrne
and John Gutman were living in the
room at the time of the fire. Byrne said
he is currently living in an apartment
complex near Hayward Field and is
now allowed to visit the residence halls.
He added that Gutman is living in Bean
Complex.
Gutman could not be reached for
comment, but Director of University
Housing Mike Eyster confirmed that
Gutman lives in the residence halls.
The cost to repair fire damage in 109
Spiller was approximately $4,000,
Eyster said.
That number is less than one-sixth
of the $26,000 cost that Director of
Resident LifeSandy Schoonover told
Byme the final toll could be, Byrne
said. He added that she gave it only as
an example of the high costs of repair
ing fire damage.
Schoonover said she wasn't able to
talk about any specific conversation
with a student, but she did say she re
membered a previous residence hall
fire that she thought cost about
$26,000.
"At the time of the last fire I had ab
solutely no idea what the cost might
be and never said to anybody that it
would be that particular amount,"
Schoonover said.
Eyster said he didn't know who
gave the initial estimate, and he
guessed safety officials may have giv
en the $26,000 figure.
"Oftentimes those estimates are not
accurate," Eyster said.
Eyster said he could not identify who
paid for the damages, but he was able
to say that University Housing will gen
erally assess who is responsible for
damages and bill them.
Byme said during an interview after
the incident that a candle he lit caused
the fire Eyster said lighting a candle in a
residence hall room is a violation of
housing rules.
Byrne declined to comment on his
punishment stemming from the inci
dent or whether he paid the repair
costs, but he said he was not aware the
repairs cost about $4,000.
Director of Student Judicial Affairs
Chris Loschiavo said he was not able to
discuss any individual student's case.
Eyster said the damage to the room
was "relatively minor."
'"The reason for that was because an
alert student heard the smoke detector
and investigated," Eyster said. "I think
they're caught pretty quickly in resi
dence halls most of the time because
people live so close together."
Eyster said that about a year ago, a
fire in a residence hall room caused
more property damage. Before that, a
similar incident hadn't occurred for
nine or 10 years.
"A fire that actually burns some of
the fixtures in the room is pretty rare,"
he said.

BOMB
continued from page 1
An Emerald employee contacted a
Department of Public Safety dispatch
er, who said it was the second call DPS
had received.
DPS Interim Director Thomas
Hicks said DPS received a call from
library staff about the bomb threat,
and Hicks decided to evacuate the
building after consulting with
library officials and EPD.
Personal Materials Clerk for Uni
versity Libraries Jen Lindsey made
an announcement over the public
address system shortly before 3:45
p.m. telling everybody to evacuate
the building for safety reasons. No
alarm was activated, she said.
Lindsey stood outside the library's
Media Services entrance blocking ac
cess to the building and told people
it might be 30 to 45 minutes before
people would be allowed inside. She
said she saw only officers inside the
building before leaving.
After establishing that the build
ing was safe, DPS reopened it at 4:40
p.m., Hicks said. The bomb threat
was the first he could remember the
library receiving, and it was the first
bomb threat directed at the Univer
sity in a couple of years.

NIGHT
continued from page 1
women-only section, a gender-queer
section and a gender-neutral section
— so each group has its own space.
"It started out as a woman-only
event because we were, and are,
afraid to walk alone at night," said
Erin Dury, the sexual violence pre
vention and education coordinator
for the Women's Center. "But it's
now kind of evolved to include
men too because there's lots of
male feminists."
But the march organization could
be changed if enough people attend
today's public forum on Take Back
the Night and oppose sectioning off
the march. The meeting will be held
in the EMU Board Room from 5:30
p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Dury said she is uncertain
whether a decision will be reached
at the meeting, adding that the pub
lic's input on how to organize the
march will greatly influence the fi
nal decision.
Senior Tanya Widger, a women's
and gender studies major, said she
thinks the march should include a
women-only space because some
women feel uncomfortable around
men. She added that changing the
organization of the march to lump
everyone together would keep some
women from participating.
"It would defeat the purpose (of
the march) because, historically, it has
been an event for ending the violence
against women," Widger said.
She added that the whole point of
Take Back the Night is to empower
women, and that goal is compro
mised if any woman feels uncom
"(Take Back the Night)
started out as a
woman-only event
because we were, and
are, afraid to walk alone
at night. But now it's kind
of evolved to include men
too because there's a lot
of male feminists."

where she is around a man.
ASUO Multicultural Advocate
Austin Shaw-Phillips said he sup
ports keeping the march divided
into different sections.
"\ think the line separations allow
as many people as possible to partic
ipate in the march without violating
the integrity of the women-only
space," Shaw-Phillips said.
Shaw-Phillips said the three dif
ferent sections are necessary because
he wouldn't feel comfortable being
around all the men in the gender
neutral space because he spent the
majority of his life living as a
woman. He added that he wouldn't
feel comfortable marching in the
women-only space either because he
identifies as a male. Shaw-Phillips
said dividing the march into differ
ent sections honors diversity by giv
ing each group of people a space
that recognizes their identity.
But some students don't see the
need for separate sections. College
Republicans Chairman Jarrett White
said he thinks having a women-only
space in the march is unnecessary.
"I think that's pretty stupid,"
White said. "I don't know if these
women think they're going to go
through life without any contact
with men."
He added that he thinks it's hypo
critical to relegate men to a separate
marching space because they go to
the event to show their support for
women.
"I don't know why (women)
would be uncomfortable (marching
with men)," White said. "Especially
since the men are there supporting
their cause."
Dury said that as far as she can re
member, Take Back the Night has al
ways reserved a space for women
only, and if Thursday's forum con
vinces the Women's Center to organ
ize a mingled march, it would be a
first for the University.
