Found rooms 1147, 3142, MBA, RS, Mem Room, and 18 practice rooms at Smith unlocked.
Complaints from BSW's notifying us that the Recital Hall was being abused by a group singing and dancing. This group had access to the CITES cabinet, and was playing music at a dangerous, and obnoxious level. Students - if you see this, let us know or call the Police - don't let non-SOM people destroy our stuff, that is for OUR use!
Recital hall problems this morning:

Someone replaced the T8 bulbs in MB 4121 with T12 bulbs. Bulbs have been replaced back to University Spec. Light bulbs are University spec'd at T8 with T8 fixtures. Using the wrong bulbs can cause electrical problems, fires, and potential other hazards. Report lighting issues to our facilities manager Chad Wahls.
