Staff Cuts Hinder Plant Crew;
Student Compliance Urged
by Maria Sue Malkman
The maintenance staff here
at Farmingdale is trying to
keep our sidewalks safe and our
classrooms clean, but it hasn't
been easy.
Where there used to be a staff
of 14, there are now only six
maintenance workers. Over the
past few months two workers
have died and two are presently
in the hospital. We have also
lost some men due to budget
cuts. The remaining six are
carrying out the responsibilities
that used to take 14 people to
do.
Over the winter recess, the
men were out in sub-freezing
temperatures. They shoveled as
much of the ice as possible and
sanded the rest. What would
happen says Mr. F. Harrison,
Director of Campus Services,
was that a warm day would
come which would melt the ice
but as soon as the temperature
went below freezing it would
ice up again. The walkways
around the school were salted
and sanded. The salting was
d i s c o u n t i n u e d though. An
excessive amount of sah would
cause the pavements below to
erode.
The signs s t a t i n g : No
Smoking, Eating, or Drinking
were erected to benefit the
students as well as mainten-ance.
They are hoping that the
students will comply with the
s i g n s . In this way the
classrooms will be kept cleaner
and maintenance will have
more time for other duties. Mr.
Harrison feels if less money is
spent on cleaning classrooms
there will be more money to
c a r r y out such ideas as
beautifying our grounds and
possibly improving the current
parking situation.
Ram's Den Cover Charge Met With Resistance
All studeius entering the
Rams Den on nights when
entertainment and food are
provided will now have to pay a
50 cent cover charge. This
policy has been enacted by the
College Union Board and the
Tavern itself.
For the upcoming year CUB
will be alloted $9,000 from
SGA. This money in the past
years has gone towards such
events as dinners, plays, guest
speakers and Thursday night
Night Club Night, Thursdays is
when there is entertainment
and food.
The latter event is the basis
for the 50<r cover charge on
Thursday evenings.
On an average, each Night
Club Night costs CUB $1,200.
This includes the band, food
and beer. According to CUB, if
the cover charge is not put into
effect only a limited amount of
club nights will take place.
CUB cannot afford to supply as
much entertainment as before
as long as other events are also
expected.
The Tavern is charging 50c
to Farmingdale students on
Monday nights and any other
nights that they provide
entertainment. This may occur
on weekends as well.
The paying of the 50c has
really been left in the hands of
t h e s t u d e n t s h e r e at
Farmingdale. If they protest
the cover charge then a limited
amount of entertainment and
food will be provided by CUB
and the Tavern. If they favor it
then they can eat and boogie as
much as they like, as long as
they pay the price.
