Room B 102

Hawaii · United States · School

Through the eighties and nineties the university struggled to keep anyone in this room. Students complained of wind blowing through windows that were shut.

Hale Kauanoe is a hall of residence at Hilo, Hawaii, and through the 1980s and 1990s the university had persistent trouble placing students in one particular room.

The complaints were consistent. Disturbances, and wind blowing through the windows when the windows were closed.

In 1992 or 1993 a young woman was shown to the room, and her account is the one that circulated.

A housing office quietly struggling to fill a specific room, year after year, is a more interesting fact than any single report. It means the problem outlived every student who reported it, and that the institution was dealing with a practical consequence rather than a story.

Hawaiian tradition has its own long established understanding of these matters, taken seriously across the islands, and students from here would have brought that framework with them rather than the mainland one.

The hall is student housing.
