Peng had set up a program called "Wake" which allowed people on the Princeton University campus to share information between them.

STAH- PHOTO I AMBIR SMITH The fountain in front of the Atrium has been broken since May 2002. and an official with the university said it could be September before any work starts on its repair. Amidst record-setting rainfall, fountain stays dry Official says $100,000-$200,000 needed to fix UNCG landmark Anna Liles Staff Writer UNCG has seen the most rainy summer days on record this year, which makes it even more obvious that the fountain, epicenter of campus life, has been bone dry for a loftg time. A couple of inches of water stand in the bottom, but its trademark spout has been silenced-which has students asking, "Why?" "We drained the fountain in May of 2002 because it leaked continuously." said Tony Schallert. UNCG Utilities Engineer, "so the fountain has been empty for over a year now." As the fountain sits dehydrated in front of the cafeteria, it's no surprise that incoming students notice it isn't in working condition. "I saw the fountain running when I came here on a tour before I even actually started school here," said Lawanna Minis, sophomore. "It's just ugly now and it takes away from the beauty of the campus." Courtney Russ, a freshman, explained her disappointment upon discovering the condition of the foun-tain when she arrived at school this fall: "I came here this summer and expected the fountain to be up and running by the time we moved in." said Russ. "I was pretty disappointed when I saw it wasn't fixed." A Drought of Funds The reason the fountain is dry. according to officials, is the state's bad financial situation. Schools across the entire UNC system are struggling to balance their budgets with meager funds from the state, which is struggling perhaps harder to balance its own. "The state legislature budgets money every year that goes towards building repairs and renovations," said Schallert. "We have not received money to even get an estimate until this year." Many students said they think ren-ovating the fountain should be high on the school's list of priorities. "The fountain is already the center of campus, but more people would hang out here if the fountain was working," said Nate Calhoun. sopho-more. "I think that would make this area a much more social environment and people would spend their free time here instead of in their rooms." According to Schallert. there are signs of slight progress on the foun-tain's repair, but not until next month will anything be done. "We are hoping to have someone come and look at the fountain by the middle of September." he said. Fixing a Hole Schallert explained that getting the fountain running again will be a diffi-cult task. He said that the process has many steps and may prove to be a long one. "If you haven't noticed, the tiles inside the fountain are falling off." he said. "This means that we are going to have to remove the tiles and the grout so that we can find out where the leaks are." Schallert went on to say that fixing the leaks in the fountain only solves half the problem. "Once we finally fix the leaks we have to decide what will go back in the fountain," he said. "Then we will have to decide whether to put the tile back up again or try something else."

What's so bad about our neighbor school's expansion? One word: park-ing. Since the YMCA moved to its new digs further east on Market St. over a year ago. the parking lot at the old building on Tate St. sat unused. After it seemed the coast was clear, many UNCG students jumped at the chance to find sanctuary from the ubiquitous three-wheeled Parking Services scooters. But now. according to Greensboro College officials, there's no more free parking. "I have not had a definitive conver-sation about that topic, [but] I would tend to say that it's going to take Greensboro College parking passes or you're going to get a ticket." said Ben Giuliano. manager of the Reynolds Center. "They're probably going to start putting tickets on cars if they're not marked. I don't know when they are going to check for parking passes- at the latest Monday." UNCG students, now 50 or so park-ing spaces poorer, said tfiey were used to parking in the abandoned lot without any consequences. "I parked there all last semester and nothing happened." said Doug Presley, a graduate student at UNCG. "I parked there a couple of times last year but nothing happened." said BJ Schofield. a senior. Giuliano said there was never a decision at Greensboro College about what to do with the lot. Regarding whether UNCG students were techni-cally allowed to use it. he said, "as a Continued on page 10
