High school music students participating
in the Midwestern Music Camp sweated in the stifling practice areas and choral room of Murphy Hall yesterday afternoon as temperatures rose,
Staff members of the department of music and dance expressed concern about the heat's effect on Murphy Hall's equipment and instruments, including the harpsichord and pipe organ in Bales Recital Hall.
"The organ has to remain at 72 degrees with 50 percent humidity," said Rita Van de Lune, office supervisor for the department of music and dance. "The humidifier is getting watered down, but with temperatures getting higher than 72 degrees, there's not much that can be done."
Sandi Williams, assistant dean of the School of Business, said that the north wing of Summerfield Hall was without air conditioning. Classes continued to meet as faculty members attempted to move classes to air-conditioned rooms in the building's other wing, she said.
