Everyone at UNL should know
how kind and thoughtful the Of
fice of University Housing is. Hav
ing been placed in a temporary
triple room as the third person, I
received a bed. No closet, no
drawers, no desk, no chair. Only a
bed.
Yes, I signed up late. But if
there was not enough space
available, they should not have
accepted my contract. In fact,
when I called to ask about capac
ity, the person from the office
said, "there's plenty of room left."
I understand that dormitories
are unexpectedly full this semes
ter. And I do not mind being
placed in a temporary room. But
every student who signs a con
tract should receive the necessi
ties of dorm life at least a desk
and chair however temporary
the arrangement may be. I paid
not a penny less than any other
student in the dormitories, yet I
received only a bed.
Doug Zatechka, director of
Housing, I hope you are reading
this because I was not allowed to
talk to you in person. Apparently,
your secretary did not think my
problem was important enough
to talk to you directly. She told
me to call maintenance, whom I
already had called twice and been
flatly denied both times because
of "university policy." I called the
residence director twice. And I
talked to your assistant director
of housing, Gary Partridge, who
said, "I understand your frustra
tion, but I am not going to buy a
desk for vnu"
Who do I go to when the as
sistant director says no?
Thanks to Deb Mullen, Smith
Hall's RD, I received a desk Wed
nesday after four days of con
tinuous inquiry. What is ridicu
lous is that I had to actually
request something that should
have been available to me when I
moved in. Did itrhave to be such a
battle?
Partridge told me it costs money
to store extra desks and chairs.
Well, it costs me money to live on
campus, too. I did not pay $1,925
for only a bed.
Doug Zatechka, do you know
how much fun it is to live out of
five boxes and a bed? May I sug
gest you and your staff get to
gether for a meeting to possibly
alter your present policy on tem
porary triples to make it more
liveable for others who get caught
in the same situation.
