Welcome to the I-house Tribune Forum
This blog is available for the posting of suggestions, comments and complaints about the International House or the Resident's Council of I-house at the University of Chicago.
All postings will be brought to the council during the weekly meetings held at 8pm every Sunday and we will try to deal with it as soon as possible which usually takes about a week. We will post the response of the house to these comments once we have a response.
Hope to hear many great ideas from everyone.

Testing, Testing, Testing....
I-House sucks. They try to make money out of everything. Now we have to pay to watch cricket. Thats hilarious.
It seems to as if residents disturb the business of the I-House management . They would favor to make it a cool and sexy congress center with cool and sexy people. Students residents are just disturbing.
btw: residents counsel should engage for the person who broke the ping pong table. It is not ok that the one who is honest has to bear all the damage. Shit happens, things break, Ihouse has to calculate that some things break during a year.
The following request is in response to the email sent by Brian Davis on April 2, 2007.
At the next Residents Council meeting, I would like the following to be discussed:
1. Why do returning residents have to pay an application fee?
2. Why do returning residents have to "apply" for residency? Returning residents should only be "renewing" their contract/housing agreement.
When you rent an apartment, you only pay the application fee and apply to live in the building once when you first move into the building and then year after year you simply renew the lease.
I would like the President of the council to ask the Director of I-House these questions and then post the Director's answer on the Council bulletin board.
[Note to the Tribune]
Prior to the meeting, it might be a good idea to distribute the above questions to the council so they can come prepared to discuss them.
Thank you.
The Residents' Council will consider the issue of returning resident applications and pose these questions to Brian Davis.
However, he and Bill McCartney, the director, will be present on Sunday, April 15 during the 9PM social hour in the main lounge during which time questions like these can be asked directly in an open forum without bureaucratic formalities. I hope you take advantage of this forum.

Residents in all housing on campus are responsible for damage done to communal property. It has also been communicated to the council that the individual was drunk during the accident. In all areas of life people are held responsible for drunken negligance. However, the council is also looking at establishing an insurance plan or damage desposit for I-house residents so these expenditures do not come up suddenly.
I Found it! I Found it!
Is this the only way to post suggestions, comments, etc? The only way that users can post on blogger is by having access to the blog. Shouldn't then all the I-House residents be sent invitations to this blog?
get the damn fucking printer to work!
the printer is working and its not damm..
1. Residents seem to come in third: second to the expensive persons and their loud-at-night receptions, and even behind the people who only rent for a few days.
2. For the price we pay, we ought to have heat! It's so cold, I'm getting sick.
3. The mainenance/cleaning personnel wear very loud walkie-talkies. When they are in the bathroom, stairwell, or elevator, it echoes and can be very disturbing, especially when it's at 11 at night or 7 in the morning.
4. The front desk should be 24 hours and should be more staffed-- often we residents have to wait in quite a long line. It could be more efficient.
5. The washers and dryers aren't all working.
6. The only elevator which reaches the 8th and 9th floor is exceedingly slow. It also appears that this is the only elevator used for maintenance personnel. Residents with disabilities which preclude using the stairs are very disadvantaged.
7. If one has to unload a car, say to move or to come in with several loads of groceries, there isn't clearly delineated parking spots for residents only.
8. The "No Parking" zone on the street is not enforced. Around 3pm it is full of people disobeying the law, and the police look the other way. I-House should be more proactive in encouraging the police to enforce the law. The waiting limos of the fancy conference people also park illegally in this area, and no one says anything.
9. Because of all of the conferences, the front door is frequently unlocked, causing danger to those who live within.
10. Although I am not a member of the board, I hereby move that all personnel and workers be obligated to live in I-House so that our concerns are taken seriously. I also hereby move that loud events should not be booked for the Assembly Hall after, say, 9pm.
Thank you for your consideration of these requests.
Well written article.
What a strange place this is...
Apparently, the administration has been illegally evicting residents. Just imagine, all you want to do is make I-house a more comfortable place to live in for everyone and you make some complaints. Or you're being overcharged for rent and you want to find out why. Or you just don't get along with the staff.. Why should you have to? Here's why:
The next thing, you find your door is locked and you can't get to your things. "Oh no, but I have a paper due tomorrow!" Then you find the University Police is here to remove you from your room and now you are completely humiliated. And on top of that you have to go apartment hunting and you've missed your deadline. Damn, so much for your 4.0 average...
If you were here last year, you know what happened to that Greek woman who was removed. I also just found out this had happened to Amadou just before he was shot to death, which may have something to do with why he moved to such a dangerous part of town. No one seems to know. Check the link below for details. Don't let this happen to you:

with regard to the 10 items from anonymous.
#5, in the near future, I house residents will be able to go online to see what machines are working and those that are in use so you can plan your laundry schedule.
Bill MacCartney is a fucking douchebag.

Coin return for dryers 25-26 does not work. It takes 2 quarters and then resets to $1.00 owed, and if you put any more quarters in it doesn't record them. I lost $0.75.
The leftmost vending machine has stopped taking dollar bills, and has had a longer problem of not taking quarters or other coins.
The quarter insert for dryers 24&25 just did the same thing. I had to put in $1.50 to get $1.00 of credit.
