| ELECTRONIC SECURITY
|
|
Your building is equipped with an electronic security system
which consists of card readers and prop monitors. Cards readers
read the magnetic stripe on your student identification card
to grant access to residents, staff, and authorized others
Prop monitors sense whether exterior doors and interior security
doors are closed and latched securely, and sound horns to
notify residents and staff if they are not. In most cases,
closing the door will silence the horn. Some special application
locks and horns must be reset by a staff member.

| HEAT |
| The heating system is a hot water convector
system. Air in the room is drawn into the convector at
its front near the floor and passes across the hot water coils
to transfer heat into the room. There is a valve on the lower
left side of the unit which needs to be turned counterclockwise
to allow complete circulation of the hot water.
There are two different heating zones in your hall, with
zones on the south and north sides of the building. This
means that while the heat is on in your room, it may be off
in your friend's room across the hallway. The number one
problem encountered during the heating season is when residents
block the radiator with a bed or a large piece of furniture.
This blocks the air flow to the unit and prevents proper operation.
Consider this when you arrange your room.

| EXTRAS |
| BUNKING BEDS -- If you would like to bunk
your beds, you may do so by borrowing the pins for oak bed ends
from your Service Desk.
MICROWAVE OVENS are not allowed in the resident rooms.
Some floors own a microwave oven which is secured in the floor
lounge; check with your RA.
