Students to double up Labor strikes plague residence construction
Labor strikes have plagued construction of the new residence complex at the north end of the campus. The complex which includes Lennox-Addington, and an experimental lan- guage house, was "right on schedule until the strikes hit", according to Fenwick Ritchie, Assistant Director, Residence Admissions.
Now however, five strikes later, the 564- student residence is not ready for the influx of students this week. According to Mr. Ritchie it will be six to ten weeks after the plumbers go back to work before the residence will be ready for occupancy. "Our first holdup came with the tile setters strike from June 8 to August 12," said Mr. Ritchie. "Then the carpenters, bricklayers, laborers, and now the plumbers went out one after the other. "When we saw that the residence would not be completed in time for the fall semester," he said, "we had to sit down and decide what to do with these 564 students." After a number of meetings with students, hall advisors, and personnel from the Provost s Photo mural in Residence Life and Housing reception area depicts most aspects of residence Office, it was agreed that the affected students living at Guelph. Produced by Audio Visual Services, the collage hangs behind Valarie Eastway, should be provided with some sort of on- receptionist, and two prospective students. campus accommodations. The idea of housing the students in trailers had been looked at but was "economically unfeasible" according to Continuing Education offers Mr. Ritchie. The only other alternative was to double up the students in most of the existing residences which was unaminously new program for fall semester agreed to by all those present at the meeting.
