NEW POWER OUTAGE OCCURS

A second power outage on Oregon State University's Corvallis campus has occurred affecting Gill Coliseum, Bloss and Finley residence halls, Dixon Recreation Center and Arnold Dining Center.

The outage is attributed to heavy rainfall that has fallen in the Corvallis area and that has impacted the electrical distribution system on campus. Crews from Oregon State Facilities Services and Pacific Power are on site and working to restore power service to these buildings.

Oregon State officials will determine whether this outage will affect a women's volleyball match against the University of Oregon scheduled for noon today in Gill and a men's basketball game against Fresno State scheduled for 6 p.m. today in Gill.

Meanwhile, power service has been restored to Nash Hall, the Women's Building, Gilmore Hall, Ballard Hall and Withycombe Hall. These buildings were affected by a separate power outage that occurred Thursday evening, Nov. 24.
