Annex Resident Encounters Elevator Nightmare in Dorm
Traver Riggins
1/23/07
Campus

Club Annex Elevator may be the newest hotspot on campus. Free for girls all night and free for boys with IDs until 2 a.m.
Morgan Winbush, a freshman print journalism major, had no clue that she would actually spend part of her Friday night there.

On her way to a friend’s room on the fifth floor of the Annex’s west side, Winbush found herself trapped in the elevator.

“I thought the elevator was moving but it wasn’t,” Winbush said.
Winbush, A third floor resident, had not seen a flyer posted on the first floor warning students not to use the right hand elevator.

...

Tomantha Kyle’s pointed out that poor elevator service leaves the disabled with no options.

“What if I had just broke my ankle,” asked Kyle, a freshman actuarial science major and sixth floor west Annex resident.
There are no alternatives in the Annex for a physically impaired resident to make their way up the stairs.

Kyle said the frequent repairs on the elevators have yielded few results.

“I’ve witnessed them being fixed at least 10 times and they still don’t work,” Kyle said. “I know the elevator man by name.”

Kyle believes that students should show their concerns, speak to their community director and start a petition.

I would have thought an elevator nightmare would involve some sort of attack?

God gave you 2 legs, not one. Breaking an ankle won't kill you just slow you down. As my mother has said to me in an emergency room, "it's just a broken bone. Even if they have to amputate, you're not gonna die. Quit complaining."
