The traditional two editor staff, editor and managing editor has been replaced with five staff editors who will have coordinated responsibilities for the Forum, Kristine Campbell Why was the campus full of ditches and piles of dirt? The reason was simple. Westminster College was making a few needed pipe. repairs to a leaking steam-lin- e The work on the faulty pipe started on The Forums new five will be John Dahmen, editor, Karin Jaffie, managing editor; Mark Paulos, feature aritcle editor, Danny Thiros, sports editor; and Marie Weiss, arts and entertainment editor. As Editor, John Dahmen will have ultimate responsibility for coordination of the paper. Accord ing to Dahmen, The new structure will allow us to use the specific talents of these students in a variety of areas. It will also spread the experience of working on a newspaper to a greater number of students. Dahmen is looking forward to the challenges of producing the student publication this year with a lot of enthusiasm and optimism. The Forum is currently scheduled to be published on a biweekly basis but our goal is to come out with a new issue each week, said Dahmen. He Aug. 21 and was finished by Bids for the repair job and the delivery of the equipment delayed the start of the project making the work impossible to finish by the time classes started in late August. We were waiting for the new budget for this year and for the bids to come in from the different contractors. We wanted to get the best possible price, said Richard Brock-myedirector of plant ad facilities operations. Westminster College also received some help from the Board of Trustees and Oren Nelson, A lot of the equipment and labor is being given to Westminster at wholesale prices or at a reduced cost, Broekmyer added. The 400 feet of steam-lin- e pipe being replaced runs from the boiler west of Hogle Hall to Converse Hall, and serves Hogle Hall, Walker Hall, Ferry Hall, Converse Hall and the Science Building. "The pipe was incorrectly installed ten years ago. No insulation was put on the pipe to stop corrosion. We estimate that 300 gallons of water were lost through the leaking pipe, said Broekmyer. This time were making sure everything is done correctly. The pipes should last much longer than 10 years. Now that the center of the campus has been put back together, another steam-lin- e pipe will be dug up and repaired. The pipe running between the gymnasium and Shaw Center also has some leakage problems. "We tried to work on the center of the campus first and get the work done as soon as possible before starting work on the second pipe. The work on the pipe between the gym and the Shaw Center shouldn't be as much of an inconvenience, said Broekmyer. The work on the second pipe, will be handled by the same contractors that replaced the first pipe Thorntons Plumbing, Randy Chico doing the welding, and Ron Downard installing insulation to protect the new pipes from corrosion. All of the campus mess, however, is not due to the steam-lin- e pipe replacement, but also to a new telephone system being installed. The work on the new phone system should also be completed in late September. With all the construction work on the campus, a lot of the landscaping will have to be redone. We will probably have to replace the sprinkling system, the topsoil, and make a few changes in the landscaping, but the work will be an improvement, said Broekmyer.

Before we make any improvements in the gameroom we should assess our needs and capabilities.
