Maintenance Problems in Our Department!
On February 27 of 2009, the University Theatre Box Office bathroom flooded with sewage water. The sewage rose up to ankle hieght, and the carpet was exposed to it for more than three hours. The University only suggested a carpet treatment, however overexposure to the sewage has completely ruined it, and may leave unsighlty spots, as well as, cause an array of health effects like diarriah, hepititus, and many other unexplained viruses.
Previously on Saturday, February 7th, the entire basement of the Arts and Communication building flooded when a water pipe burst. A group of Theatre and Dance students took the time to help remove costumes, clean up the water, and reverse the damage done to our department. The University refuses to take proper action, or at the very least, keep our water/sewage system up to date.
We students must make our frustations known to the University, and stop this before it happens to other departments around campus.
Ball State University Representitives,
We the undersigned wish that action be made to keep our building's water/sewage system, up to date. On three seperate occasions our department has been flooded due to pipes bursting and a sewage clog. We only ask that these situations are monitored and taken care of in an appropriate fashion.
We sincerely care about our craft, and work hard to push the boundries of art exploration. Please help us to continue our work and help our department reflect this caring, progressive environment to the academic world.
