78 Feature EATURE ¢ FEATURE ¢ FEATURE ¢ FEATURE ¢ FEATURE ¢ FEATURE ¢ FEATURE ¢ BANKSTON FIRE Once in a while, something happens that stirs up a little excitement on campus. A few students in Bankston Hall got a little excited this March when they thought they might lose their lives. They had a fire on the second floor. Fortunately no one was hurt, but it caused quite a bit of smoke damage on the second floor of the three-story dormitory. All students were evacuated from the building in the pre-dawn hours. Some students amused themselves by betting on the number of females that would emerage from the usually men’s dormitory. Apparently someone decided to torch a couch in the second floor lounge. The fire consumed a few tables and chairs, a vending machine, television and forced the eviction of two families of rats who relocated in the third floor ceiling space. One student, a gutsy Texan, took the ‘Bankston plunge’ out a second story window. The evacuees, having nothing better to do, appeared in the cafeteria for breakfast, and in various states of dis-dress. An intrepid photographer risked getting soot all over himself and took these amazing photos, preserving for posterity what turned out to be the hottest action on campus this year.
