Theweekhasjust ended, the stresses

hold during the small liberation ofthe
weekend. You gather some friends,
crank some music, andkickbackwith a
few cold ones to enjoy this hiatus from
ahectic week.
This is a common college weekend
ritual thatyoumayhave once partaken
in, butnow mayhesitate to do so again.
Now, with an increased number of
students losingtheir independentliving
privileges due to alcohol violations, stu-dents
maybe forced to either dodge the
administration oropenaBlockbuster ac-count
and become more accustomed to
staying in onweekends.
Approximately six to eight town-houses
have been evicted or are in the
process ofappeals, according to Zach
Newswanger, assistant director ofresi-dence
life, showingthat the administra-tionmeans

Townhouse utility bills soar
ByAlliMoonan
STAFFWRITER
Faced by skyrocketing heat prices,
townhouse residents are beingforced to
bundle up due to the increase in natural
gas prices and abnormally coldweather
this winter.
Students residing in the townhouses
received unusuallyhigh utility bills for
the month ofDecember, reflecting the
increase in gas prices. Some bills have
doubled from November to December,
often rising from $100 to $200, and
manystudents feel as if theyhave to live
with virtually no heat to keep prices
down.
Gary Stephenson, director ofhous-ing,
saidthat the universitydidnot learn
ofthe increase until it received the bill
from Southern Connecticut Gas Com-pany.
Stephenson said that housingre-ceives
one lump bill for natural gas and
divides it amongthe townhouse units,
according to use. "We don't make any
money on it,"he said."We send the ex-act
figure to the student."
Brent Nowicki '01 said that although
he understands that they are affectedby
the increase, he wants the university to
providethemwithitemizedbills. "Hous-ingdoesn't
tell ushowmuchwe usejust
how much we owe."
Students are also questioningthenew
apartmentcomplexandthe differencein
payment plans between it and the
townhouses. While the townhouses are
billed monthly,the apartments payaflat
rate at the beginning ofthe year.
Stephenson pointed out that although
both are considered independent living,
the apartments are controlledbyoutside
units, while the townhouses indepen-dently
control theirownheat.
As a result ofthe many complaints
the Housing Department received,
Stephenson sent out conservation tips to
the residents:
