HOUSE7, page 1 tomorrow, Jan. 27,' which meant Friday, but no one showed up," McGowan said.

"It's unsanitary and I am not living there this week," Angela Pappano, a junior English and communication major, said. "I felt like they rushed us out and I .think that it's unfair that they expected us to find a place to stay."

Residence life went door to door Sunday saying that the residents were to immediately evacuate the house and to either find a friend to stay with or they would temporarily place them in rooms throughout campus that had vacancies.

McGowan and Pappanb both expressed their concerns for the health risks this raw sewage posed to the residents. According to www.biotank.co.uk, exposure to raw sewage can cause gastroenteritis, hepatitis A, asthma and infection of the skin or eyes.

These can be contracted by just breathing them in or by contact with open cuts on the skin.

As of Monday Holden said, "The evacuation has taken place, a repair is being made to allow residents to return to the building tonight [Monday] and housekeeping is sanitizing the building." He also said that it has been determined by the location of the collapse that the resident's practice of parking their cars on the lawn next to House 7 is the reason for the sewer line col- lapsed.

One of the subcontractors working for PipeShark, the company hired to fix the broken sewage line, said that.._"whoever put it [sewl!,gepipe] in there did it wrong and when the ground settled it cracked the pipe." He also said that people driving on that part of the lawn would also cause the ground to move which also caused the pipe to crack.

"I think for the amount of money it costs to go here we shouldn't have to be living in houses or residences like House 7 ," McGowan said. As of 5:30
