Vol. 86 No. 8 EasternNews thedailyeasternnews.com “Tell the truth and don’t be afraid.” Building evacuated after spill Life Science classes stopped as chemicals are cleaned up

By Jessica Danielewicz Campus editor

The Life Sciences Building was evacuated Monday after- noon following a chemical spill on the first floor. A glass one-gallon jug of dimethylbenzene fell and broke in Life Sciences Room 1021, a storage room, said Captain Richard Edwards of the Charleston Fire Department. No injuries were reported, said Lt. John Hatfill of the University Police Department. Dimethylbenzene, also known as xylene, is a colorless, oily, liquid aromatic hydrocarbon, used extensively as a solvent. It is obtained from coal tar, wood tar or petroleum, according to the Columbia Encyclopedia online. It is unknown at this time who was using the chemical or how the chemical was spilled, Edwards said.

It was not only by doing that, but the way that he did it that he affirmed his desire to lead Eastern further. He has said he will make several adjustments in terms of reporting lines for such administrative offices as admis- sions, registration, sports and alumni services. These decisions were made both in light of Hencken’s 35 year experience as an Eastern administrator and with the input of the involved administrators. In addition, he made the changes without regard for the next president. A smart move and the right attitude to have if Eastern is to truly move forward under his guide. “When the new president arrives, he or she can make whatever changes they feel necessary, but, in my opinion, these changes will better serve the needs of the universi- ty,” Hencken said. He also set a specific and important goal for his term. “We will increase the enrollment for the fall semester 2002 by at least 250 students.” By announcing his goal to increase enrollment, Hencken inadvertently acknowledged a running problem at Eastern: declining enrollment. Enrollment is the heart of any university. The less students, the less tuition and fee funds Eastern has to work with. Furthermore, a university with decreasing enrollment is not likely to see high budget increases from Springfield. In fact, decreasing enrollment was most recently blamed for the increases in Heath Service prescriptions and birth control. It is important to acknowledge the problems this uni- versity may have. Without admitting the problem it is hard to work toward a solution. Hencken is coming out strong in the beginning of his interim term. The list of things to do is long, but Hencken has already taken the right steps to see them through.
