Housing problems:
Fraziers in a fix
Chris Hosford

Amidst a swirling cloud of ru
mors involving the future of
Guilford's Frazier apartments,
Brian Burton, the apartments'
R.A., believes that the Fraziers
remain a viable place for on-cam
pus residence if Guilford is will
ing to allocate the necessary funds
for their upkeep.
Burton said, "There have been
a lot of complaints, as there usu
ally are."
In the past, complaints have
been frequent and the response of
Maintenance allegedly lethargic.
However, according to Burton,
Maintenance has been swift and
responsive in dealing with the
problems that have arisen.
Burton said, 'This year Mainte
nance has been wonderful. Inmost
cases they have settled the request
within a day."
Kathie McKinney, a resident of
Frazier 15-16, and her apartment
mates can attest to the speedy ac
tion of Maintenance.

McKinney said, "They were
very prompt. They fixed our toi
let. Thanks Maintenance!"
Conditions in the Fraziers vary
from apartment to apartment.
Burton said, "Some Fraziers are
better than others. Number 29 was
just renovated to accommodate the
handicapped. It's in wonderful
shape."
Problems have ranged from a
lack of blinds or shades to plumb
ing difficulties involving stopped
up toilets.
Burton characterizes plumbing
and drainage, mostly in sinks and
toilets, as the main source of diffi
culty, especially when the tem
perature drops.
Burton said, "It's going to cost
a significant amount of money to
redo the sewage system."
Another problem of the Fraziers
is the extreme heat which plagues
residents during the spring and
summer months.
This condition prompted Bur
ton to refer to the apartments as
"Mini-Binfords," in reference to
that dorm's reputation for tempera
ture extremes.

"There are four individuals on

"Each voter deserves to know who
