The library was closed due to water damage to its floor and ceiling, Burleigh said. Sections of the wood floor buckled and the carpet was damaged from the leaking water, he said. WSU maintenance workers waited a couple days to begin repairs on the library as they waited for the floor and ceiling to dry, mechanic Mike Markley said. “Maintenance workers hope to have the Stimson Hall library repairs done in about one and a half weeks,” he said. All of the furniture from the library is now stacked in the hall lobby and the carpet has been removed. Maintenance workers began replacing the library floor Wednesday morn- ing, Markley said.

There are enough tiles left over from old remodels on the building to replace those damaged, he said. “Thankfully, they found the flooding sinks fast, before a whole lot of damage could be done to the building,” Burleigh said.

Nation Brief SAT cut from freshman admission requirement McLEAN, Va. - George Mason University is becoming one of the nation’s first four-year public universities to drop the SAT and other standardized tests from its admissions requirements for certain students. High school seniors with at least a 3.5 grade-point average and who are in the top 20 percent of their class won’t have to submit an SAT or ACT score with their application beginning this year, said dean of admissions Andrew Flagel. The school, after a three-year review, concluded that SAT scores are a poor indicator of collegiate suc- cess for high-achieving high school students. Applicants who don’t have a 3.5 GPA will still be required to submit a test score. Students who want to play intercollegiate sports also must submit test scores because the NCAA uses them to help determine eligibility. Dozens of private schools have stopped requiring applicants to take the SAT or ACT amid concerns the tests are not accurate gauges of an applicant’s potential for success. Among public schools, however, George Mason’s stance is somewhat unique. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
