12/13/2001 Results of several years of floor evaluations and student satisfaction surveys, discussions with Residence Hall Association and Hall Councils, as well as increased dissatisfaction among non-smokers not having access to limited number of no smoking floors has led the Housing & Residential Life department to decide to go smoke free in all of the residence halls starting with summer housing 2002. Smoking will not be allowed inside any of the residence halls including student rooms.
We believe the benefits from this decision will include: A more comfortable environment for all students with medical conditions or allergies, Cleaner looking painted surfaces and less wear on the rooms due to smoke discoloring walls and ceilings, reduced roommate conflicts over the smoking issue, increased ability to enforce marijuana and incense policies as smoke of any kind will not be tolerated, and fewer floor conflicts over smoke traveling from room to room via wall mounted
heater units.
12/01/2001 Sorry I have been slow in updating this site. There have been a couple of new additions to the updates on former staff members and the addition of some information to the former staff listings from 85-86 and 86-87. If you have any information to fill in gaps of staff listings please e-mail them to sylvest@mnstate.edu Some exciting news is the beginning of construction on Neumaier II an on campus apartment building for upperclass students. It will be located parallel to East Snarr across from Murray Beach.

Have you visited the Housing Department web page lately? You can take a virtual tour of the residence halls including 180 degree and even 360 degree perspectives of rooms, lounges, and common areas of the buildings. Check it out!
