Galoshes are once again in order. After it rained for nearly the entire day Tuesday, another inch is due today.
Water seeped into the basement of Silliman’s entryways J and K Tuesday. Silliman Master Judith Krauss wrote in an email to the college that “[u]nfortunately, the condition is likely to continue throughout the rain storm, but we’ll try to stay ahead of it.”
But while there’s water in the streets, there will be no such substance in Stiles entryways E through J today between the hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. due to a leak. “Keep this in mind when planning your schedule in the morning: no showers, sinks, toilets in that section of the college during that time period,” Stiles Master Stephen Pitti told Stilesians after a leak. The dining hall remains in operation.
The end. Senior schedules are due a week from today. Freshmen schedules are due Monday. Sophomores and juniors have until Tuesday. All schedules are due at 5 p.m.
