A LIGHTER LOOK AT LIFE AT THE "U"
Going underground has taken on a new meaning on campus, as a number of transients have made makeshift homes in the bowels of various buildings. In early March, for instance, campus police found an area underneath the steps of Suzzallo Library that was inhabited by three men. It was no ramshackle hangout, either--it had CD players, coffee makers and electrical cords. The three used a rope to climb through an air shaft in the Central Plaza Parking Garage.
Later in the month, police found the elaborate home in the basement of the Music Building created by a 46-year-old "self-employed mathematician." Officials say it had been used on and off for more than a decade.
Last June, campus engineers discovered several folks living in the tunnel complex underneath the garage. They had used manholes to get to their underground digs.
Living in such arrangements can be tough. First, you always have to sneak in and out, and avoid being caught. Then there is that stagant, musty air. But the Suzzallo freeloaders knew what they were doing: they left behind a spray can of harvest spice air freshener.
