Dorm windows installed
By DENISE FRANKLIN
As the last of the new windows are
being installed in Mosher-Jordan and
Stockwell dormitories this month,
students are just starting to quiet down
about the inconvenience.
Since last fall the University has
replaced windows in eight dormitories,
claiming the renovations will save
more than $100,000 a year in heating
costs. But students have been trying to
block the renovation.
THE BIGGEST GRIPE students
have voiced concerns the caulking used
to install .the windows. "The smell was
terrible, there was no way to escape for
more than a week," said a resident of
Alice Lloyd dormitory.
"We heard rumors of people in
Markley getting violently ill, and of a
girl in West Quad breaking out in
hives," said a Resident Adviser in East
Quad dormitory. Hearing these reports
from other dormitories, East Quad put
up a big fight.
"We were concerned for our health
because the caulking package read
'flammable - do not use in enclosed
areas or around people,' " explained
an East Quad resident.
But there was nothing they could do.
"The workmen had been hired and
there was a time limit on the com-
pletion of the work," said Paul Boyer,
Director of University Housing Main-
tenance.
"IT IS THE BEST stuff on the market
- the Office of Safety and Environmen-

banded together to form a committee'
they named "The Save Mo-Jo Commit-,
tee." They gave a petition to Robert
Hughes, Director of University ;
Housing, demanding an end to the in- .
stallment of the windows.
"We don't like the look of the windows -
or how they are constructed, to give :
less air flow," said Marc Sheperd,
founder of the "Save Mo-Jo"
movement. Students were tdld there is
nothing they can do about the whole
situation, Shepard said.
tal Health has checked the caulking
material, Tremco, and determined that
it is not a health hazard," Boyer said.
"Only one in 1000 people are allergic to
the caulking material, and we have
tried to provide alternative sleeping
arrangements for those people."
"I don't know why they're com-
plaining," said a workman. "I've been
putting it in for ten years, there ain't
nothing wrong with the stuff."
"We realize that it is an inconvenien-
ce, and we are trying our hardest to be
through with the job by the end of the
month, so the students won't be
bothered during finals," said Boyer.

protestors. "If we want to keep
studying this (field), we'll have to go
out of state to find another un-
dergraduate program like MSU's."
"It's all political maneuvers," a
coalition member said. "The Univer-
sity must prove to us that this state of
financial crisis really exists."
One professor of mathematics who
spoke to the crowd saw a connection
between MSU's financial crisis and
President Reagan's expanded military
budget.
"If Reagan's (recommended spen-
ding increase) in defense was divided
up between all the colleges and univer-
sities in the country, MSU would have
enough money to meet its $36 million
shortfall," he said.
"Fund human needs, not the
military," the professor said.
COLD WEATHER last month forced
workmen to caulk the East Quad win-
dows from the inside, which resulted in
a greater smell in the rooms, Boyer
said. But, he added, "We've taken care
of that and the windows in. Mosher-
Jordan and Stockwell are being caulked
from the outside."
Another complaint with the new win-
dows regards their appearance. "The
old windows went with the decor and
the new windows won't be as pretty, but
they're more heat efficient," commen-
ted Lynn Desenber' a freshwoman in
Mosher-Jordan.
