Winona State University Volume L VIII, Number 2 INONAN October 7, 1981 Dorm washers and dryers break down Vendor takes WSU through wringer by Bill Ruehl and Leigh Davis John Ferden, WSU housing director and Scott Peak, assistant housing director, had objected to the acceptance of a bid for washers and dryers from the previous vendor, Robert Richards Equipment Corp., because of past maintenance problems. No one listened to them, and now the problems have started again. The problems began in August, when the old coin boxes were installed in the new machines but were not emptied. Then, shortly after the students began using the machines again they started jamming up due to the overload of coins, Ferden said. Other problems arose on Sept. 28 when Erich Dornbusch of the WSU business office accompanied Dan Kammerer, a representative of the - vending company, in emptying the coin boxes. Dornbusch took an inventory of the washers and dryers as he went from dorm to dorm, and found that there were only 23 washers and 22 dryers. The contract calls for 24 washers and 24 dryers. During his inspection, Dornbusch also found out that on Friday night, Sept. 25 Kammerer had gone into two of the dorms, without a WSU employee preserit, and emptied some of the coin boxes into a sack and took the money off of the premises, which violates the Mark Didtler awaits a free land operable) washing machine in Morey-Shepard Hall.
