Dimmitt residents were informed about damages done to the building, except this time they all might pay for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the latest email sent out, residents of Dimmitt Hall were let known about someone getting on the roof and taking some of the letters off the building. This is only one of numerous \u201cdevious licks\u201d, Micheal Payne would explain, that happened within the past few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael is a sophomore resident\u2019s advisor(RA) at Dimmitt Hall who\u2019s trying to figure out who\u2019s responsible for these damages. Some of these damages include exit signs being broken, letters taken off the Dimmitt building sign, janitor carts being tipped over, furniture going missing, and many other issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael annoyingly stated, \u201c Who comes up with the idea to go on the roof and steal letters off the building. Congrats, but where\u2019s the letter now. It\u2019s funny sure, yet now it\u2019s a lot of work for us and we don\u2019t have a clue who\u2019s responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course if the person responsible for the damages is found they\u2019ll end up paying for it. Yet, that hasn\u2019t been the case lately at Dimmitt. \u201cWe haven\u2019t found anyone responsible for any damages other than maybe one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morningside\u2019s campus as a whole doesn\u2019t have many cameras outside of buildings. There are a few inside Dimmit\u2019s lounge area and kitchen, but other than that there aren\u2019t any. This results in no one getting caught for damages if no one is around to see the so called \u201cdevious licks\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another issue discovered in a hall meeting is that the RA\u2019s get fined as well. This is something a lot of people didn\u2019t know and surprised a lot of students. Caroline Black, the area coordinator for Dimmit RA\u2019s explained to the students, \u201cThe RA\u2019s get fined as well for the damages. We just want to know who\u2019s responsible so anyone not involved doesn\u2019t get fined. No one wants this.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caroline tried showing a new perspective to students to stop further issues. She explained how it looked to people on tours and anyone driving by. \u201cImagine how it looks when people look up and see letters missing off the Dimmitt sign or to people on tours. It\u2019s not a good look. Imagine this place is your home, it is your home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing up the point, I wondered if students thought of Dimmitt Hall as their home away from home. Jackson Perrien, a student living in Dimmitt, showed some sarcasm in his answer with a long \u201cno\u201d, following with, \u201cof course it\u2019s my home. I sleep, shower, do homework, I do everything here really.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jackson felt as if a lot of people felt the same way. As to the person doing damages, he would like them caught as well. \u201cNo one wants to be held responsible for something they didn\u2019t do. We\u2019re old enough now to own up to our mistakes and take care of ourselves. No one wants to pay for something they aren\u2019t responsible for.\u201d These charges might be a little spendy as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Jackson an exit sign that was broken cost $2,000 in damages total. With the amount of exit signs broken and summit signs being stolen that number only raises. With college expenses already being expensive some students might not take this charge too lightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI understand it\u2019s not their fault they can\u2019t find the person or people responsible for these instances. I\u2019m more putting blame on the people that aren\u2019t coming forward. I have enough to pay for already\u201d Jackson stated when asked about paying fines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dimmit RA\u2019s and residents continue to look for the people responsible for all the damages. They ask that anyone with information regarding these issues come forward and let them know so no one else has to pay for anything. As of now most of the people are still unknown. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
