Others are sound-asleep despite loud music echoing from down the hall. Some students are downing a few beers, playing video games and reading books. A num- ber of others are milling around the lounges watching . - late night TV, joking with friends. 0 "Ernt-errit-ernt...ernt-ernt-ernt...," fire alarm horns begin to blare throughout the building, the obnoxious noise resonating off the plastered walls of the long, winding corridors.
