Bennett has similar grievances that go beyond the heating issue.
"The heat, as well as the edict banning charcoal grilling and the absence of the promised propane grills, is a continuation of failures made by the Office of Residential Life to provide students with some of the basic joys and necessities of Townhouse living."
Yet, there are also Townhouse residents who remain unbothered by their communication with Res Life thus far.
"I think if everyone had been aware that the heat has to be turned on centrally, there wouldn't have been so many complaints last week," senior Lindsay Serpe said. "Students don't want to waste energy by having heat and air conditioning running at the same time; we just didn't realize how it worked. It makes sense to wait until it is consistently cold before turning on the heating system, and I do agree that it wasn't necessary to turn the heat on during the first cold days last week."
Senior Dan Streim was unaware that there was trouble with the cold blast in the first place.
"Nobody in my house was even aware that there had been a problem," Streim said.
