I spent a week, July 28-Aug. 1, 2008, at West Virginia University in Morgantown working with teachers on the SATELLITES education program. I stayed in Stalnaker dormitory with the teachers and got a rude awakening at 2 am the first night when the fire alarms went off. There were a total of seven fire alarms at night during the week due to a malfunction of the system. I took this video during one of the fire alarms. The sound was ear splitting. The fire department had to come out each time. What is in the fire chief’s black bag that he carried with him each time he came to the dorm? That is the big question. We never found out.
