One day, while the students of the Užice Technical School were going to lessons, on the rotatory of the Prvi Partizan, they found themselves in front of an empty building, like in a horror movie: on the building there was written FASAU. On the way back from Auto Ventil (a factory that produces parts for the car cooling system) the students asked the professor what was once in that building.
