Active in community affairs, See BROWN page 5 By Kevin Kerr Staff Writer Have you noticed the new things in the CUB recently? Not only is iherc new carpel and artwork in the student lounge, but there is also an amazing aroma floating throughout Ihe building. This odor was not a pleasant smell, but something putrid and rancorous. At first, many though that the odor came from fhe carpel lhat was put down over Spring Break, however, that is not the case. Rumors of a broken sewage pipe have been circulating for the past few weeks, yet thai is not true cither. What actually caused the new aroma is something even more spectacular and amazing. E. Dudley Howe, Associate Vice President in charge of the Physical Plant, said thai two independent incidents caused ihe nauseating odor in the CUB. The first even was a break in the grease trap line leading from the Commons to a storage tank. This mechanism prevents the grease from going into the normal sewer system and collects ii in a large tank thai is drained every three weeks. Howe said that the leak was noticed within several hours of its start. It was then patched and the surrounding area was scraped clean and sanitized with lime and deodorizers. The odor returned within a day of the repair of the grease trap line. Howe said thai professionals were called into deodorize tht student lounge, the Reporter and the Yearbook offices in ihe CUB, and the SFC and Intramural offices in the front of the CUB on April 13. They returned the next day to continue ihe fumigation process, yet she stench returned even si longer than before. Howe said they went looking for another problem because they knew that the grease trap line could not have caused this much trouble. The problem causing the smell was finally located; it was poxes of rotting Civi! Defease food located-in a crawl space underneath the CUb. Howe said thai no one remembered the food stored there and said that it probably was put down there during the sixties. Howe was amazed at Ihe simultaneous occurrence of these two . unrelated events, he said mat "ihe i probability of winning the lottery is nrobabiy beuer than having these two events happen together." He also said that all of the food, two lo three truck loads, was removed on the I5lh and 16th of April. The crawl space was then sanitized lo prevent bug problems and deodorized lo slop the aroma from penetrating anymore of ihe Carlton Union Building. Howe slated Ihai there is not risk of disease from the events and that the entire area has been entirely sanitized and disinfected. Additionally, ihe odoi is stili being combated by fumigation and through the use of electronic deodorizers in ihe student lounge. This is nol just an amazing coincidence, but it ha,-, surely- produced many memorable results. | Career Services debate rages on...p3 and 4 5 C7 ji Students speak out on cultural diversity...p7 */ ^EWS SHORTS For those of you who arc graduating and still haven't done the necessary details to get a job, you still have one last chance.
