Interesting Things on the First Floor of Dearborn

I noticed this interesting marker scribble above a locked door a few weeks back in the basement of Dearborn Hall.

 The padlocked door is a large fire door with a serious looking plaque.

On the other side lives a very large transformer.  It connects the high voltage laboratory to the grid.  I would recommend against opening that door unless you know what you are doing.

Party at The Vue

A few weeks back my department had a party at The Vue to welcome prospective grad students.  This is only the second or third time that I have had the opportunity to be in this venue.  It is a real shame that the restaurant that used to occupy the space closed.  This has to be one of the best views in Corvallis.
