Under Construction Why do people have face-lifts? Is it because they are getting uglier, or do they just want to become more attractive for their peers? Whatever the case, Dobie Center was an aging structure that needed a face-lift, although some residents ' lives were disrupted in the process. Most agreed that the construction was needed to maintain the building ' s integrity. Dobie needed repairs because the bricks were cracking and pulling away from the building, resident director Lance King, pharmacy junior, said. There were things throughout the whole process that could have been done better. Construction started in spring 1989 and persisted through the summer and well into the fall semester. Construction was irritating because it hampered the studying atmos- phere, Tom Stilwell, economics pre-law junior, said. The dorm life was still normal, though. We had parties and plenty of opportunities to meet people. Controversy arose during the construction. Students living in Dobie during the spring 1989 semester filed a lawsuit claiming that the construction unduly restricted their use of Dobie ' s facilities. Others claimed that they were exposed to the allegedly toxic chemical Sarabond.
