    SUMMER
continued from page 1
and Barnhart Hall.
Housing Director Deanna Miller
said the residence halls function
more like hotels during the summer:
Students can show up and get a
room without a pre-signed contract.
Those students who have already
signed fall term housing contracts
will be allowed to stay past the end
of the summer term.
Costs for staying in the dorms over
the summer varies. Most students
who do stay choose to live in a dou
ble room and not use the University
dining system. At $706.55 for
the eight-week term, this is the
cheapest option, Miller said.
"We are looking forward to a good
summer session, " said Trebon. "I think
it will work out well for everyone."

LAWSUIT
continued from page 1
'no parking' zone, and that if he did
not move it, the club would call the
police and have the car towed. Colas
exited the club and went to move his
car, only to find that it had already
been moved by the minor.
Colas said he attempted to re-en
ter the bar, but security staff blocked
him and ordered him to leave im
mediately. Colas asked to be al
lowed to gather his friends and was
again denied entry.
Colas said the bouncers did not tell
him why he couldn't enter and also
told him that he was banned from the
bar until lan. 25,2005.
When Colas objected, four mem
bers of the security staff, including one
from Joe's Bar and Grill, gathered
around him, Colas said.
The bouncers then threatened
Colas with violence, he said, and
tried to get him to fight one of the
smaller bouncers. Colas informed
them he did not want to start a fight,
but that he would like to retrieve his
friends, he said.
"[Colas] was completely
sober and adamantly re
fused to be drawn into a
physical altercation with
the bouncers when about
six of them attacked him
without any physical
provocation."
— Kelly Clark
Andrew Colas’s Lawyer
The argument continued for sev
eral minutes, and the security staff
threatened to call EPD. Colas said
one of the security guards pointed
over Colas' shoulder, claiming to see
a police car. When Colas turned to
look, the guard charged him and,
with the help of several other mem
bers of the security staff, knocked
him to the ground and handcuffed
him, Colas said.
Colas said that after they pinned
him to the ground, security guards
beat him, ramming his head into
the pavement, bending his fingers
back, kicking and punching him in
the groin and dragging him across
the pavement for several feet.
Russ Kleve, a legal assistant working
on Colas' case, said the beating contin
ued for five to 10 minutes, ending
when police arrived.
The complaint filed in this inci
dent claims the businesses knew
their bouncers had a history of using
unnecessary force. In failing to elimi
nate this risk the businesses were
negligent in their duties toward
Colas, it claims.
"We have evidence that their secu
rity has been out of line before,"
said Kelly Clark, Colas's lawyer.
"[Colas| was completely sober and
adamantly refused to be drawn into
a physical altercation with the
bouncers when about six of them at
tacked him without any physical
provocation," Clark stated in a press
release.
According to the police report,
one of the security guards displayed
minor injuries and claimed Colas
had punched him in the mouth.
Clark is asking for $300,000 for
pain and suffering and about
$25,000 for present and future med
ical costs. The final amount will be
decided at trial.
A date for the jury trial has not
been set.
