Most of our students respect the property and treat it like they were in their own home, but like any institution we have our share of alcohol abuse which sometimes leads to behavioral problems and destruction of property," said Rice. He said that these problems create a challenge for both faculty and staff to deal with, but finds that the majority of students respond positively and productively when problems such as these are caught quickly. Prior to coming to WCU in 1978, Rice was at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles where he also served as Director of Housing. Since he has been here, there have been some considerable changes in terms of housing. "Every facility has been improved initially from top to bottom. When Walker and Harrill residence halls are re-roofed next summer, all of them will have been re-roofed," said Rice. Rice said that housing makes sure all windows have screens. There is a special emphasis on the maintenance of public areas in the residence halls also. In terms of emergency systems, Rice said Western's is state- of-the-art. Perhaps the most commendable thing about the maintenance of the buildings is that all of the painting is done by the students themselves. "We have been recognized and received many awards for this," said Rice. "Sigma Chi" from Front war.
