Faulty compressors turned apartments into campus hot spot
Jayhawker Towers cools off after two weeks of no air conditioning
PENNYLANE RECORDS: WESTPORT • LAWRENCE •

Today Rob Theis is cooling off.
When he moved into Jayhawker Towers two weeks ago he expected an air-conditioned apartment with two bedrooms, a kitchen and fun room-mates.
"It has been 16 days of heat," said Theis, Olathe freshman. "We spend most of our time in Burge Union because of the heat."
Theis got everything except the air conditioning.
Theis said the apartment had not been cooler than 82 degrees since he moved in Aug. 12. He and his roommates stopped cooking in the apartment because cooking made the apartment hotter.
The air conditioning was fixed yesterday by an off-site contractor, said Terrion Jones, director of maintenance.
"They finished the job before the rain and have it up and running," Jones said yesterday.
Engelkling said she could not determine how long the air conditioning had been a problem or how many residents were affected because some residents complained or filled out maintenance orders several times.
She said that all the apartments were getting some air conditioning but that several apartments had less than what was needed.
The name of the contractor hired was not available.
For Brian Selig, Olathe freshman,
the fixed air conditioning he no
longer needs.
Engelking said the Towers first in who filled out maintenance requests who filled out maintenance requests.
Charlene Engelking, manager of the Towers, said that more than 300 residents in Tower D were not getting enough air conditioning because not all of their air compressors were operating. The other three towers were not affected.
*Once we realized that the maintenance orders kept coming in, we hired
an off-site contractor to get the job done," she said.
Seliq said he and his roommates had made it a point to complain to the management every couple of days in hopes of getting something done.
The apartment had not cooled down yet but he hoped it would soon, Selig said.
"We can't wait until winter when the heater doesn't work," he said.
