Leaking Windows



There's been a huge problem plaguing my dorm room (and many other peoples dorms). This problem is just in New Hall (that I know of) and consists of serveral leaky windows. Now, I've reported this problem over and over and nothing was done...at least that what it seemed like. After the lastest leak (April 1st) I was fed up. I posted a video on YouTube with a wonderful little commentary at the end. This leak isn't your normal dripping, its a stream of water, usually a gallon per rainstorm that floods the window and floor. I e-mailed the college and was enlightened on what more was going on. This problem is being pursued by the college at a vicious rate. But, students are not aware of this, all we know is the college is just throwing their hands up in the air and telling us "There's nothing we can do." But, I'm spreading the word that the college is doing something. Perhaps they NEED the help of the students. Should we get involved? 



After hearing the entire story behind the leaky windows (and other New Hall issues), I posted a reply video explaining in detail and hoping that a student reassuring other students will help the tension ease...a bit. I'm not saying that we should just sit back and wait, but that we shouldn't blame the college. We should really be helping the college. Instead of ten people fighting to fix the problems in New Hall, we could have 500. Then the people that really screwed us over will pay for their poor work.
