University officials were expected to address the incident in an open letter today in the university's student newspaper. Students and faculty also received e-mails Monday from university officials outlining what happened, and university police are investigating. President Mark Yudof said Monday. A large L-shaped brick building, Bailey Hall sits atop a picturesque wooded hill overlooking a bustling intersection on the St. Paul campus. The entire east wing is reserved for freshmen.
Students say they like the hall because it is peaceful and well regulated.
It makes you think. Nash said he toured the hall last summer and selected it because it was so quiet. Angie Kotrba, a freshman from Forest Lake, praised the hall's close-knit community and great environment and said she's made a lot of close friends since moving in last fall. Molly Silberg, a freshman from Farmington, said the hall has community advisers on each floor who have conducted many programs on the dangers of binge drinking. A lot of students now are worried the administration will crack down on drinking in residence halls, Silberg said.
