whereby students can let us know if
they've got a leaky roof problem. As soon
as it stops raining long enough for us to
get on the roof, we have our maintenance
people up on the roof patching, patching
and patching."
Wetzel said his staff has been aware of,
the leakage problem for some time.
"We've put if-mjo^pur budget over the
past several years. But we tucked it in
there We never gave it top priority. And
since we only get about $50,000 a year for
major repairs and replacements in this
entire complex, it was never funded."
"Now, said Wetzel, it's taking time to
get ahold of people who are willing to
come out and take a look at our project
and give us an approach to solving it."
"This is the sort of job a lot of roofers
would like to stay away from. What they
are essentially talking about doing is
tearing into the roof about 18 inches all
the way around the edge of the building
and putting in new flashing and reconnect¬
ing that flashing to the existing roof. But
everytime you do that, you run the risk of
creating new leaks," said Wetzel.
"Recognizing we're talking in terms of
$5,000 per roof, and we've got seven
buildings, we're looking at $35,000," said
Wetzel. "What we're forced to do is look
at our roofing repairs In conjunction with
everything else we need to do in our
housing complex as far as new carpeting,
new furniture, new curtains, new paint
and include roofing repairs. We're going
to give it (roofing repairs) a high priority
and work towards getting the problem
solved as quickly as we can.
'I would hope that the worst of the
problems would be solved by the end of
this coming summer and that by the
following summer we'd have all the
flashings repaired," said Wetzel.
"It's just regrettable when they did all
this that they used all that rubberized
flashing." Wetzel added "Had we used
another product, we wouldn't have had
this problem.

AS Senate starts semester at slow pace
This semester has started off rather slowly, with only a few issues coming
before the students.
Patty Smith, secretary of the Public Affairs, stated that there are still
Student Savings Cards availabe to those students who did not receive one in
the mail. Any student who would like a card can pick it up in the AS. office,
College Union 316. Many students have reported favorably about the card's
potential, and we encourage all students to take advantage of the program
The A.S. Personnel committee reports that there are student openings on
the following AS committees: Personnel, Legal and Legislative, and Aca¬
demic Affairs. There are also several openings on Faculty/Student commit¬
tees. The lines of communication with the faculty have improved during the
last semester, and both the A.S. leadership, and that of the faculty, wouldlike
it to continue. Any student who is interested in any of these openings should
pick up an application in the A.S. office.

How long?
That was a recurring question that
nlictical activist Dick Gregory asked
wring an embtional lecture to a packed

He-asked how long it wguld.be until..,.

inderstand each other.
"If white folks undersood black folks
and black folks understood white folks,
,-verything would be so mellow "Gregory
said.
'But we're making progress," he said.
Look at this room. Black folks, white
folks, all in the same room. Now if we
ould just talk to each other."
Gregory said that black people have
made progress in the last two decades

mile radius of each othe%.
Some 20 vehicles were taken. Davidson said at least three cars broke down,
further delaying students from returning at the planned time.
Davidson said the weather wasn't a major concern until Sunday. "We heard
opposing weather reports all week long," he said. "We weren't sure what was
going to happen."
Davidson said-that most skiiers stayed until the Efts closed at 4 p.m. on
Sunday. After reorganizing, he said his group left at 5 p.m..
"We heard there was an avalanch on highway 50, so we stopped by a police
station. They said all the roads were closed.'' said Davidson. Ah hour later his
group joined the long line of cars headed south.

Davidson said it took-his group eight hours to travel 70 miles. During the
worst part of the snow storm, his group traveled five maes in 3ft hours.
