I found myself disturbed after reading your recent article ‘False Alarms Burn Out Students.’ I am a resident of Stadium and was present for the fire drill mentioned and was most likely a participant in the suggested cavalier behavior. Your article did an excellent job of placing the students in bad light, yet failed to pick up on the school’s complete failure at a fire drill. In my personal opinion, in order for a fire drill to occur the fire alarm has to actually go off; a component that was missing from that light. Out of the seven floors in Stadium, I didn’t hear of one having a working alarm. On my particular floor the boxes out in the hall simply flashed and on another the boxes made a buzzing noise. We only knew it was supposed to be a fire alarm when the RA nonchalantly mentioned it from down the hall. We were so shocked that a brand new system could malfunction so severely and the school is just now checking it, two semesters in. The behavior witnessed came out of the our shock that if a real fire actually occurred in our building we would all die in our sleep or realize that there were silent lights going off in the hall. You want a store, how about the results of the fire drill, not the execution of it.
