      The

      going
      |
     
    
   
   
    
     
      on
      in
      Duffy
      has
      left
      many
      of
      us
     
     
      wondering
      if
      there
      is
      anything
      we
      can
     
     
      do
      to
      reduce
      the
      disheartening
      effects
     
     
      of
      the
      ongoing
      noise
      and
      the
      unknown
     
     
      amounts
      of
      dust,
      mould,
      and
      chemicals
     
    
   
   
    
     
      in
      the
      building.
      It
      is
      not
      clear
      to
      many
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Duffy-users
      what
      the
      best
      way
      to
     
     
      approach
      the
      situation
      is.
     
    

    
     
      Many
      of
      us
      have
      had
      to
      write
     
     
      midterm
      exams
      in
      the
      Duffy
     
     
      amphitheatre,
      wondering
      how
      the
      noise
     
     
      would
      affect
      our
      performance.
      Even
     
     
      professors
      have
      had
      to
      fight
      the
      urge
     
     
      not
      to
      swear
      or
      yell
      at
      the
      construction
     
     
      workers.
      Only
      the
      stairs
      know
      how
     
     
      many
      times
      professors
      have
      run
      up
      and
     
     
      down
      the
      steps,
      trying
      to
      find
      someone
     
     
      or
      some
      way
      to
      lower
      the
      volume
      of
     
     
      the
      background
      noise.
      Only
      the
      walls
     
     
      know
      how
      many
      times
      professors
      have
     
     
      pounded
      on
      them,
      trying
      to
      let
      the
     
     
      construction
      workers
      on
      the
      other
      side
     
     
      know
      that
      “it’s
      quiet
      time
      right
      now.”
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Nevertheless,
      Duffy
      is
      old
      and
     
     
      needs
      to
      be
      rejuvenated.
      Built
      in
      1966,
     
     
      the
      thirty-nine-year-old
      centre
      was
     
     
      renovated
      once
      in
      1997,
      but
      not
     
     
      extensively.
      Six
      point
      four
      million
      dollars
     
     
      will
      be
      invested
      into
      this
      extensive
     
     
      renovation
      project,
      which
      the
      Dean
      of
     
     
      Science,
      Roger
      Gordon,
      says
      is
      a
     
     
      “much
      needed
      and
      very
      exciting
     
     
      development
      for
      the
      Faculty
      of

      Usage
      note:
     
    

    
     
      It
      is
      unlikely
      that
      this
      15
      syllable
     
     
      contrivance
      is
      ever
      used
      purely
      for
      its
     
     
      meaning.
      The
      term
      sesquipedalophobia
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      isrecognized
      in
      formal
      writing,
      while
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      four
      syllable
      phrase
      “fear
      of
      long
      words”
     
     
      is
      certainly
      worth
      considering.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      the
      book
      Useless
      Knowledge,
      this
     
     
      enormous
      word
      was
      misinterpreted
      by
     
     
      the
      authors
      as
      two
      words,
      causing
      them
     
     
      to
      list
      the
      fear
      of
      long
      words
      as
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      following:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      hippopotomonstroses
     
     
      quippedaliophobia
     
    
   
   
    
     
      These
      fragments
      appear
      to
      be
      quoted
     
     
      occasionally.
