Student Government | Elections University | Funds Out of steam Broken coal boilers on plant reason for increase in costs during winter season
By Stephen Di Benedetto Associate News Editor
Jeff Cooley is knocking on wood. He is hoping the steam plant, which heats and cools campus, can survive another winter. Heating costs during this winter increased by $125,000 after parts of the coal boilers in the steam plant broke for several months. “We had to find someone to come in to make the parts to get it fixed,” said Cooley, vice president for business affairs. “As a conse- quence, we had to burn natural gas this win- ter.” Cooley said the university typically burns John Bailey | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS coal to heat the campus because it is a cheap- Student Body President candidate Eric Hiltner asks Director of Student Life Ceci Brinker a question about campaigning rules and er fuel source. regulations before the start of the Student Government debates on Thursday night at Phipps Lecture Hall in the Physical Science Building.
