Campus cafeteria
cleared of asbestos
By Moryann MUttgan
Staff Writer
In an effort to eliminate possible health
hazards and clear the way for future
renovation. $95,000 was spent this
summer removing asbestos from the
Vintage Room Cafeteria.
The project was funded in part by the
CSUF Campus Food Services. Though.it
has been on the state's priority list for
years, the project did not actually get
under way until the Food Services decided
to fund the project itself, according to
Rick FirJ ay, a campus Food Services
administrator.
"Had we not accepted the financial
burden, the project would not have gotten
started last spring and the state wouldn't
have given us the money," he said. "We
decided we couldn't wait for the state
to come up with funding."
Finlay set the project in motion after
witnessing the damage to the Vintage
Room's ceiling which he said was caused
by the highly amplified music played at
the dances there. The sound vibrations
could loosen, the asbestos fibers present in
the ceiling material, he explained.
The Food Services accepted the lowest
bid for the work of scraping the asbestos
from the Vintage Room's ceiling, which
was also damaged from age and leaky water
pipes, Finlay said.
This initial work- cost $53,000, Finlay
said. The state stepped in to cover this
initial cost after the scope of the project
was expanded by $294)00, he said.
Asbestos is a material used in the
acoustics and insulation of many structures
built prior to the 1960s,/ when studies
by Dr. Irving Selikoff proved that the
airborne fibers it produces increase the
risk of lung cancer.
However, Donald Dewees. a professor of
law and economics, concluded in 1986 that
"if asbestos in a building is in good
condition and secure from disturbance, the
