Alarm Beauford said a "bad head" on one of the auto-detector units was a manufacturing problem that caused the alarm tr "spontaneously go into alarm." He said the system w? purchased from Simplex, a national firm with local office DpSflllQmirp anH Harnpr-TTIlint alcn nco Qimnlov cDctomc ? ?? v *4?mv? f v/l uiaiw W1UV WUV WIIIipiV/A OJ OVV/11AO . Second, a leaky air conditioner resulted in at least two false alarms in Pinckney-Legare. "Condensation would collect on pipes and drip into the electrical circuitry of the fire alarm system," Beauford said. This problem has been corrected ? and is not expected to reoccur. Doug Krieg, Pinckney-Legare hall adviser, confirmed that the problem has been remedied. "It's been a little over two weeks since we've had an alarm," he said. But Krieg said he is concerned that residents may become apathetic about the alarms if they continually go off for no reason. Despite the inconvenience and the "cry wolf" syndrome created by the high alarm rate on the Horseshoe, Beauford said residents should remember the alarms were placed there for their protection and should treat every alarm as a I real one. w "People are living in a different environment (with smoke alarms in their rooms) than they are used to. That's a very sensitive alarm unit in there, perhaps more sensitive than one they would have at home. We need the detectors to be as sensitive as they are. If we got a fire on a mattress, we'd want these things to activate before someone was burned un in his bedBeauford said. | The gamecock ? th* newspaper o( the Univernty of South ^ ^ Carolina and it published (our time* a f tiR fl| week on Mondays, Wenesdays, Thursdays f | ( and Fridays during (he (all and spring W I jfmfslen and vvt^ity on Wednesdays 4 " IB during both summer sessions, with the ;J ^jj^k WfcgBB E f exception o4 university holidays and J Oft. ,, examination periods. 5 M* ' * * Opinions expressed in the GAMtCOCK ^ are move 01 me eotors ami not tnote ol 'Jt he Urvverwty o< South Carolna. f!
