USU Flood Damages Should be repaired by late March

Flood damages in the University Student Union from rainstorms in January are supposed to be fixed by the end of March.

"Little by little we are trying to get back in business," said Javier Mendoza, Information Desk Attendent in the USU.

The first floor of the USU is still being repaired. The bowling ally, billiards, arcades and TV Lounge remain closed to students, but the mall area including K-Beach Radio, Alumni Association, USU Program Council and College Beat Productions were able to re-open two weeks ago.

"We're hoping to open everything by the end of March, but we're not sure," said Mendoza, "It all depends on the workers on Saturday and Sunday."

Damage to the first and second floors was extensive. Rain water completely covered the ground of the first floor and poured into some of the second from a set of stairs outside that, according to Mendoza, had "turned into a waterfall."
