I had that alarm clock at LSU as well ('86 - '91). For some reason, it always ran fast and gained a couple minutes every day in the South Stadium and Pentagon dorms. I always wondered if the electricity on campus ran a tad higher than 60 hz. That's the only thing I can think of that would account for the fast clocks.
This is pre-cell phones. How do you know all the other clocks weren't slow?

Because it didn't match the sundial in the courtyard.
No. Actually because it didn't match the clock at the Memorial Tower and I noticed that I was showing up to class earlier and earlier each passing day, which was something I had never been prone to doing at that age.

I still have one in use and it keeps time well but the radio reception (yeah, I’m old) is shot so I just bought a replacement. Perhaps I should hand it down or sell it on eBay.

I’m only 34 and had that exact alarm clock on my nightstand the entire time I was at LSU
That alarm clock is still by my bedside waking me up every morning, and has done so for the last 35 years.

I had the one that had the minutes and hours on cards or panels that flipped on a roller.

Have had that same alarm clock for 30 plus years. Indestructible.
