If the buildings stayed open, she said, then the fees would have to go up for all students. A great deal of the residence staff are students who want to go home. Another problem is finding those stall members willing to stay. "We have to consolidate our people and resources during the break," Koehler-Shepley said. She said this is why students must go to another building. "We have 6,000 students, and so we need some general rules," she said. Koehler-Shepley said there has been little interest voiced by students to actually stay during the breaks, but housing is looking into the matter anyway. t Russell House : :...
