Administrators from throughout the University are preparing to keep campus functioning if Hurricane Gustav follows its projected path and makes landfall in Louisiana. Emergency Operations Center teams were activated at 10 a.m. Friday. Eric Monday, interim director of Student Life, said the University does not “anticipate that it’s going to be the same environment on our campus as it was during Katrina.” Students residing on campus will have a meeting with Steve Waller, ResLife director, to find out how many students intend to stay on campus and to brief those who intend to stay. Monday and Colorado Robertson, Student Government president, requested Office of Parking, Transportation and Safety buses stay open later than initially planned. Monday requested the buses operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday and from 8 a.m. until noon on Monday to give students transportation to nearby stores to stock up on hurricane supplies. Jason Tolliver, contracted Auxiliary Services, said 459 Commons will remain open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday to accommodate students staying on campus during the hurricane. Tolliver said a backup supplier is on detainer for on-campus dining. University employees and students are being requested to turn off electronics, for example computers and printers, to conserve electricity said Monday. ”Everything draws and we need every bit of power we can get,” Monday said. The University is equipped with fuel, 3,000 gallons of diesel, an extra generator and seven extra copy machines in preparation for Gustav. A medical special needs center in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and a bus triage in the AgCenter were activated as of 10 a.m. this morning. Hopeful volunteers are requested to first register online through the University’s homepage said Jacob Brumfield, associate director of the Union. ”Register first on the volunteer registration form and we will contact you,” Brumfield said.
