Page 6 SMALL TALK November 20,1992 On Ccmtptis Cold Weather Numbs Students ‘1 Students shivered in unlieated dorm rooms and took ice-cold showers as as bestos removal and heating system re placement required that heat and hot wa ter delivery systems be temporarily shut down. Unfortunately, the shut-down' co incided with a November cold spell. Classroom buildings were also affected. Some students wrote home to ask for cold weather gear and extra blankets. Others stayed over with friends lucky enough to have rooms in heated build ings or just borrowed their showers, but almost everyone agreed the timing for the cut-off left something to be desired. "I'm glad they have a health clinic," said one student. "Everyone I know is sick."
