In the case of the elevators in the new garage, those that are under a year old are still under warranty from the man­ ufacturer, said Wanda Daberko, superintendent of maintenance for the UCF Physical Plant. The plant man­ ages the repairs of the eleva­ tors but contracts out the actual work to a private com- ' pany. "Occasionally we get calls where someone is in the ele­ vators," Daberko said. "It's not like an everyday thing.'' Daberko said the plant doesn't keep track of how often the breakdowns happen since the repairs aren't done through the school. She did say, however, that response time for maintenance has got­ ten better since the hiring of a . full-time worker a year ago. The cost for the new con­ tract may be higher, but she said it's worth it. "Before, the only time they \ would respond immediately is if they [people] were trapped," Daberko said. "Now, we have someone here full time to respond to wherever the prob­ lem is. It's definitely worth the money." Eveh with staff on hand, the idea of riding up and down on UCF's elevators still leaves some students and faculty ') wanting to take the stairs. In Colburn Hall, the state of the elevators was somewhat of a running joke amongst the THAN K YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS EXPERIMENT. ) faculty who would walk pa$t the elevators on their way to the stairwell. "I know a lot of people had been trapped in it," said Don Stap, a professor in the English department. "I don't trust it. I always take the stairs." In fact, the Future reported two years ago that Kathryn Seidel, an English professor, who was pregnant at the time, was forced to jump out of the elevator when she was trapped between floors. The elevator. stopped ·between the fourth and fifth · floors, about nine feet above the floor below, with the door open. Seidel jumped into the arms of another English pro­ fessor. The issue of the elevators in Colburn Hall was fixed last year when they were renovat­ ed, Daberko said. "Those were cleaned inside and out," Daberko said. All elevators on campus 1are also inspected once a year. They are expected to last 20 : years, according to the 2005 Campus Master Plan.
