Wade Patterson The Reflector Crews cleared debris from campus Tuesday as south Mississippi regrouped after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the state Monday morn- ing. Katrina, which first came ashore near Buras, La., as a Category 4 hurricane, caused minor damage on Mississippi State University’s campus, executive director of facilities Jim Jones said. A tree fell on the Information Technology Services’ user ser- vices building at 51 Magruder St. Water damaged 20 univer- sity buildings, and the storm broke several windows. Falling trees brought down power lines, and numerous limbs and debris were scattered across campus. “All in all, I think Mississippi State did well,” Jones said. The university hired about 20 students at the last minute to assist with clean up efforts across campus, Jones said. William Lawrence, land- scape management crew leader, said the majority of the debris was spread out across the cam- pus center. The crew cleared about 60 percent of the debris by 6 p.m. Tuesday, but mem- bers worked off the clock as volunteers after noon. “We believe in our univer- sity and we want it to look the best it can,” Lawrence said. The Starkville Board of Alderman declared a local state of emergency lasting seven days at an emergency meeting held Monday, Ward 4 Alderman Richard Corey said. At the end of the seven days, the city will decide whether or not to bid for federal aid. Many students, families and residents spent Monday night in anxious waiting. Jeffrey Ellis, a senior mechanical engineering major from Biloxi, said Monday his house on the coast could with- stand a 16-foot storm surge, but along the coast, where at least 80 people were reported dead, the surge rose to as high as 27 feet. Most of Ellis’ family evacu- ated to Jackson, but his father stayed behind to watch over their property, and his brother remained because he did not want to leave his father, Ellis said. He could not be reached Tuesday for further comment.

Wade Patterson The Reflector
Crews cleared debris from campus Tuesday as south Mississippi regrouped after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the state Monday morn-ing.
Katrina, which first came ashore near Buras, La., as a Category 4 hurricane, caused minor damage on Mississippi State University’s campus, executive director of facilities Jim Jones said.
A tree fell on the Information Technology Services’ user ser-vices building at 51 Magruder St. Water damaged 20 univer-sity buildings, and the storm broke several windows. Falling trees brought down power lines, and numerous limbs and debris were scattered across campus.
“All in all, I think Mississippi State did well,” Jones said.
The university hired about 20 students at the last minute to assist with clean up efforts across campus, Jones said.
William Lawrence, land-scape management crew leader, said the majority of the debris was spread out across the cam-pus center. The crew cleared about 60 percent of the debris by 6 p.m. Tuesday, but mem-bers worked off the clock as volunteers after noon.
“We believe in our univer-sity and we want it to look the best it can,” Lawrence said.
The Starkville Board of Alderman declared a local state of emergency lasting seven days at an emergency meeting held Monday, Ward 4 Alderman Richard Corey said. At the end of the seven days, the city will decide whether or not to bid for federal aid.
Many students, families and residents spent Monday night in anxious waiting.
Jeffrey Ellis, a senior mechanical engineering major
from Biloxi, said Monday his house on the coast could with-stand a 16-foot storm surge, but along the coast, where at least 80 people were reported dead, the surge rose to as high as 27 feet.
Most of Ellis’ family evacu-ated to Jackson, but his father stayed behind to watch over their property, and his brother remained because he did not want to leave his father, Ellis said.
He could not be reached Tuesday for further comment.
