Are you sure this actually affects the dorms or is it just the EERC? If
it is the dorms, I hate them. They did this 3 years ago and got a lot of
complaints for it. Shutting down every student's alarm clock at 6 AM
isn't very nice.

0. Yes, the timing sucks.
1. The EERC is not a key component in the campus power grid.
2. This is for fuses in the whole-campus power substation, so yes, dorms are affected.
3. Buy and install a 9v battery for your alarm clock. Problem solved.

4. Since LUGserver's UPS is currently unhappy, it'll be going down around 11 and be back up sometime in the morning.
