Two
      rooms
      from
      Blan-
     
     
      chard
      reported
      leaks
      from
      the
     
     
      ceiling
      after
      the
      barrage
      of
      water
     
     
      we
      experienced
      during
      hurricane
     
     
      Juan.
      The
      Blanchard
      roof
      was
      in
     
     
      the
      process
      of
      being
      renovated,
     
     
      when
      according
      to
      the
      university,
     
     
      leaks
      were
      caused.
      when
      high
     
     
      winds
      tore
      a
      hole
      in
      the
      mem-
     
     
      brane
      that
      seals
      one
      of
      the
     
     
      drains.
      This
      allowed
      the
      water
      to
     
     
      leak
      into
      the
      two
      reported
      rooms,
     
     
      on
      either
      side
      of
      the
      drain.
     
    

    
     
      |
      got
      the
      chance
      to
      speak
     
     
      to
      one
      of
      the
      individuals
      who
      had
     
     
      been
      affected,
      and
      _
      she
     
     
      explained
      to
      me,
      that
      water
      had
     
     
      dripped
      down
      into
      her
      room
      from
     
     
      the
      ceiling
      in
      two
      places:
      one
      in
     
     
      the
      middle
      of
      the
      room
      leaving
      a
     
     
      stain
      of
      rust
      on
      the
      ceiling,
      and
      a
     
     
      puddle
      on
      the
      floor.
      The
      other
     
     
      was
      above
      the
      bed,
      which
      got
     
     
      soaked,
      along
      with
      the
      student
      in
     
     
      it.
     
    

    
     
      |
      was
      told
      during
      an
      inter-
     
     
      view
      with
      Mark
      Braithwaite,
      the
     
     
      general
      manager
      of
      UPEl
     
     
      Residence,
      Food,
      and
     
     
      Conference
      Services,
      that
      all
     
     
      repairs
      had
      been
      made
      including
     
    
   
   
    
     
      One
      great
      party.
     
     
      Three
      new
      phone
      numbers.
     
     
      Triple
      minutes.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      repainting,
      and
      replastering
      all
     
     
      the
      damaged
      surfaces
      in
      the
      two
     
     
      rooms
      affected.
      So
      you
      can
     
     
      imagine
      his
      surprise
      when
      |
      told
     
     
      him
      there
      was
      still
      a
      stain
      on
      the
     
     
      ceiling
      of
      the
      damaged
      room.
     
     
      Does
      this
      mean,
      that
      it
      leaked
     
     
      again,
      or
      that
      it
      was
      never
      really
     
     
      fixed.
      If
      it
      releaked
      you
      would
     
     
      expect
      the
      student
      to
      call
      back,
     
     
      and
      register
      a
      complaint,
      but
      this
     
     
      is
      not
      the
      case.
      According
      to
     
     
      Mark,
      there
      have
      been
      no
     
     
      instances
      of
      leaks
      since
      the
     
     
      repairs
      have
      been
      made.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      |
      think
      these
      rust
      spots
     
     
      are
      more
      common
      than
      the
      uni-
     
     
      versity
      knows.
      In
      one
      other
      room
     
     
      |
      visited,
      the
      tenant
      needed
      a
     
     
      bucket
      to
      deal
      with
      the
      oncoming
     
     
      water
      during
      that
      same
      week,
     
     
      and
      now
      has
      a
      stain
      where
      the
     
     
      water
      once
      was
      above
      the
      door
     
     
      to
      the
      apartment.
      This
      room
     
     
      wasn't
      even
      in
      the
      same
      wing
      as
     
     
      the
      other
      rooms.
      According
      to
     
     
      the
      university
      the
      only
      problem
     
     
      rooms
      were
      located
      in
      the
      wing
     
     
      closest
      to
      subway.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      leaves
      me
      thinking
     
     
      something
      fishy
      is
      going
      on
     
     
      here.
      Why
      wouldn't
      a_
      student
     
     
      call
      if
      there
      was
      a
      continuing
     
     
      problem
      in
      their
      apartment.
     
     
      Maybe
      they're
      too
      busy,
      or
      they
     
     
      don't
      want
      to
      rock
      the
      boat,
      or
     
     
      perhaps
      they
      don't
      know
      who
      to
     
     
      talk
      to.
      Mark
      says
      there
      are
      five
     
     
      vehicles
      of
      communication
      exist-
     
     
      ing
      between
      the
      students
      and
     
     
      management,
      but
      that
      the
      best
     
     
      way
      is
      to
      just
      visit
      the
      offices
      in
     
     
      Bernadine
      Hall.
      Mark
      was
      very
     
     
      confident
      in
      his
      attempts
      to
      satis-
     
     
      fy
      student
      repair
      requests
      saying
     
     
      that
      all
      student
      work
      orders
      sub-
     
     
      mitted,
      even
      cosmetic,
      have
     
     
      been
      checked
      on,
      and
      reme-
     
     
      died.
      Lets
      hold
      him
      to
      his
      word.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      PS:
      There
      is
      more
      to
      come.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      PSS:
      There
      wasn’t
      actually
      any
     
     
      rodents,
      mice
      more
      specifically,
     
     
      found.
      Not
      even
      by
      pest
      control.
     
     
      So,
      the
      food
      that
      was
      “dis-
     
     
      turbed”,
      can
      only
      be
      said
      to
      have
     
     
      been
      “disturbed”
      by
      some

      terious
      (scampering)
      creature
