Art and design building evacuated monday
Smoke alarms caused a brief evacuation of the Art and Design Building at around 4:10 p.m. Monday. Students waited outside for about 20 minutes while the building was evacuated and the fire department investigated the cause of the alarm. Some students and faculty said they believed smoke from the foundry set off the alarms. John Hachmeister, associate professor of sculpture, was supervising students in the buildings foundry as they worked with molten aluminum. The foundry is a workshop for students to melt and mold metals such as aluminum and bronze. Hachmeister said the foundry's furnace burns as hot as 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
"I assume it's us." he said.
Hachmeister said a piece of wood began to smoke when a student mistakenly tried to use it to cool down an aluminum mold. He said the smoke may have drifted into an adjacent wood shop and set off the alarms. The foundry itself does not have smoke alarms, he said.
Hachmeister said the building experienced fewer false alarms after a new system was installed last year, and that he would close the door to the wood shop to prevent more disturbances.
"It's a foundry," he said. "It would be crazy to have smoke detectors in here."
Nick Troll, a junior from St. Louis, was working in the industrial design studio, when the alarms went off. He said he thought smoke from the foundry set off the alarms, but the evacuation didn't inconvenience him.

"I'll just keep plugging away," he said.

A study group on Monday proposed that Ohio ban new ownership of venomous snakes, monkeys, tigers and other dangerous animals with only limited exceptions and give state officials' the authority to take from private property any wildlife that's being kept illegally.
Ohio group proposes dangerous animal ban
The group has held expedited meetings in private since last month, when police were forced to kill 48 wild animals — including endangered Bengal tigers after their owner freed them from his Zanesville farm and then committed suicide.
A summary of the group's input and state agencies' recommendations for new regulations was obtained Monday by The Associated Press after the panel's final meeting.
The working group's recommendations for updating Ohio's laws are due to the
Associated Press
governor by Nov. 30. Its finalized report will be sent next week.
The group's framework for legislation suggests the ban start on Jan. 1, 2014. Owners would have to meet new temporary safety standards before then and also register their animals with the state within 60 days of the law's effective date. Zoo, circuses and research facilities would be exempt. Animal sanctuaries with restricted animals would have to be licensed and regulated.
The office of state Sen
The panel's recommendations are only suggestions to state lawmakers and Gov. John Kasich, a first-term Republican who convened the group in April to get their input. The members' ideas and the recommendations from the Ohio Department of National Resources and state Department of Agriculture would have to be drafted into legislation, heard before committees and passed by the legislature before becoming law.
Troy Balderson, a Zanesville native, has said he would pursue legislation as soon as the working group made its recommendations.
Under the group's recommendations, owners would face new criminal and civil penalties for keeping dangerous wildlife against state rules. And those who improperly release dangerous animals would also be punished. Details of any fines or jail time weren't included in Monday's report.
C
Selling wild animals wouldn't be restricted prior to the date of the ban, though the summary hints that a tougher crackdown on the sale could soon follow.
CA H
The group recommended that officials be given new authority to inspect and enforce the law on private property where dangerous animals are housed. In addition, the state would also set up a way for owners to voluntarily surrender the creatures.
