Rains pound
the Hilltop
Six inches fall on City;
campus suffers damage

News Editor
Last weekend's torrential rainfall not only
drenched San Francisco with six inches of rain but
also caused extensive damage to the USF campus.
According to Glenn Loomis, Director of
Plant Services, the rainfall was the heaviest to
be received in a twenty-four period for over
one hundred years.
Loomis also said that the rain caused over
$50,000 worth of damage to university
property.
The three buildings to receive the heaviest
flooding were Cowell Hall, Campion Hall,
and Saint Ignatius Church.
"Our entire office was flooded," said Nate
Johnson, Director of Public Safety. "We lost
importantdocuments that had to be rhrownaway."
"I was in the office at midnight on Saturday,
when the water suddenly came in," Johnson said.
"We dealt with it as best we could." He reported
that his office received three or four inches of
water which caused the office to be closed on
Sunday and Monday for cleanup.
The Office of Public Safety, located in the
basement of Campion Hall, received some of
the worst flooding. Also located in the Campion
basement is the office for the Saint Ignatius
Institute which also received watet damage.
Johnson reported that Admissions Office
lost many materials, including USF Course
Catalogs.
The Office of Instructional Media, located
in the basement of Cowell Hall, also reported
damage.
However, classrooms and offices, usually
empty over the weekend, were not the only
places to be swamped, as water seeped into a
room in Phelan Hall on Saturday.
Junior Mike Frese, a resident of room 645 in
rhe Erasmus Project woke up Saturday morning
to find that the rain had leaked into his room.
"The whole floor was covered," Frese said.
He added, "It was really wet underneath the
closets," and that the water had soaked the
carpet. Despite attempts to clean up the water,
Freeze said, "It still totally reeks in our room."
Erasmus Resident Advisor Jody Stonehocker
reported that a room in the Phelan
Multicultural Community, also on the top
floor of Phelan, received flooding, as did a
section of the floor hallway.

(see story, below)
Foghorn faces off
with Media Council
FACES President Fernandez
alleges 'blatant lie7 in
formal complaint
Leigh Ann Lombardo
Foghorn Staff
A formal complaint was brought against
Foghorn News Editor Kent German and the
Foghorn staff "regarding a blatant lie and the
practice of unethical journalism." It was
allegedly published in the October 20 issue of
the Foghorn in an article entitled, "FACES
Distributes Postcard Attacking Columbus
Day," according to a formal complaint by
Mary Rose Fernandez, FACES representative,
to the ASUSF Senate.
The complaint arose because the article
stated that Fernandez was "unavailable for
comment" after an interview between
Fernandez and German had taken place.
An open meeting was held on November 2,
at which the USF Media Council heard
Fernandez's complaint, along with the
Foghorn's response to the charge.
During this meeting, the Council decided
to proceed with a hearing regarding an
investigation of the Foghorn editorial board
and the"removal ofKent German for unethical
journalism and unprofessional practices," as
requested in Fernandez's formal complaint.
The hearing is scheduled to take place on
Wednesday, Novembet 16, at 4 p.m. in
McLaren 250 and is open to all USF students,
faculty and staff.
