Tampering with extinguishers, smoke alarms, automatic door closures, or other safety devices is a serious offense. Flagrant violations or repeated offenses will mean suspension. Potentially endangering the safety of others through negligent or careless behavior will result in similar action. Under no circumstances should appliances be used without a resident present. Repeated offenses could mean suspension.
Maine law forbids possession of firecrackers or other explosive devices including air rifles.
Other sanctions also may be imposed. Torchiere style halogen floor lamps, because they present an extreme fire hazard, are prohibited on the Colby campus. However, small desk lamps using bulbs not exceeding 250 watts, are permitted. Those seeking an exception to this policy for religious or other reasons should contact the Office of the Dean of Students. Arson is a most serious offense.
