Rumor mills

A rumor has surfaced that WWU has secured a steam whistle for use in VATech like thingies. This particular whistle is well known to long time Bellingham residents. Its past life was as the whistle used by the Georgia Pacific plant to notify the area of Chlorine leaks. As a result, this particular whistle is LOUD.

GP did have some leaks, so we know it works. Also, we have a steam plant on campus which means we can use it. This is a better deal than a civil defense siren, as this way we don't have to call the police to get the siren going. We just push the button!

How loud is it? Reportedly, "tens of miles".

Can sound waves damage hard drives? ;)
