Fox to reopen in April, water damage
caused by natural acids eroding pipes
by Kelly McElveen
assistant editor
Fox dorm, which flooded over
Christmas break, forced over 100
students to move, and caused over
$100,000 in damages, will be open
sometime in April according to Phys
ical Plant director Joe Cerminaro.
Work crews have been repairing
the damage since a water line burst
on the second floor. Cerminaro ex
pects it will take at least sbc more
weeks for the crews to be finished
and hopes to possibly reopen the
dorm the second or third week in
April.
Outside contractors have been
hired to replace the water pipes and
the damaged ceilings for the entire
dorm. Physical plant employees will
then repaint and put on the finishing
touches.
The break apparently occurred
due to the acidity of the water in this
area, according to Cerminaro. Fox
was equipped with copper pipes, but
copper is a soft metal and prone to
acidic water. The water is especially
corrosive when hot.
'The pipes just got weak,"
Cerminaro said. "We were lucky to
find it when we did."
Contractors are installing new
copper pipes but this time the hot
water will flow through a treatment
system to lessen the acidity.
"We had this kind of problem in
several places before, and we in
tended to re-plumb Fox this sum
mer," Cerminaro said. 'We already
had planned to close the dorm for
the summer."
The college is responsible for
paying some $59,000 for new plumb
ing, and the insurance company cov
ers approximately $100,000 in water
damages.
'We came out of it a lot better
than we thought," Cerminaro said.
"Hopefully we will have eliminated
this kind of problem from happening
again."
Water problems still exist in the
other dorms on women’s hill. Edna
Moore and Stroup are equipped
with galvanized pipes that are begin
ning to plug up with silica deposits
from the water (another water char
acteristic of Western N.C.).
Cerminaro also has a plan to re
place plumbing m the other dorms
over a five year period.
Ceiling panels have been removed in Fox
to help in the process of replacing acid damaged pipes.
The national tour of "Romance Romance" comes
to Moore Auditorium March 4. This two part
broadway show centers on love through the years.
MHC student admission is free.
The stars say Romance
will be yours in March!
From Staff Reports
Love will definitely be "in the air" when
the national tour of "Romance/Romance"
plays Moore Auditorium Thursday,
March 4 at 8 p.m.
The broadway comedy is actucdly two
romantic American musical comedies in
one.
Act I, The Little Comedy, is based on
Schnitzler’s Viennese tale about a pair of
worldUngs who disguise themselves for an
amatory adventure and then run into un
foreseen complications - they start to care
for each other. It is set at the turn-of-the-
century and the decor is elegant European
Art Nouveau. Songs include waltzes, pol
kas, and several ballads.
Act II, based on a Jules Renard play,
is entitled Summer Share. Set in a con
temporary Long Island chic getaway spot
in the Hamptons, it concerns two married
couples, enjoying summer refuge from the
hustle and hassle of NYC, each wonder
ing if an affair might bring them happi
ness.
"Romance/Romance" began it’s jour
ney to Broadway after a well-received
Off-Broadway showcase production.
When it eventually opened on Broadway
in 1988, the show snatched five Toney
Award nominations, including Best Mu
sical.
The New York Times said "The eve
ning sparkles with charm and intelli-
gence...this show delights" and the New
York Post said it was "outstanding". Vari
ety Magazine has even said it is "a sleeper
hit."
Tickets are for the show are $7 Gen
eral Admission. Mars Hill students are
free with valid ID and it is a green card
event.
