A first-year decision's to put a clothes hanger on his ceiling sprinkler head started a flood and caused an estimated $80,000 in damage to rooms in Hollis Hall last night.
Students in Hollis Hall South spent much of last night unable to get into their dorm. Harvard Police Officer Thomas Hustus, who was on the scene, estimated the damage.
In removing the hanger, Nieman set off fire alarms in Hollis and Stoughton Halls. Both were completely evacuated, but Stoughton residents were allowed back in their rooms about 10 minutes after the 7:30 p.m. alarm.
The sprinkler flooded Nieman's room and those beneath it on the north side of Hollis South. Sprinklers in the other rooms on the floor merely dripped water, according to Harvard police officer Frank J. DiRienzo.
