MAN ON FIRE / 1/2

By Thomas Pandich | April 22

Breaking News: Fire in Anderson Hall

By Keith F. Shovlin | April 19

Updated 1:45 a.m. A fire sent Southside residents out of their rooms Monday night. At least six emergency vehicles responded to the alarm which went off at 10:55. Students were allowed back into the halls as of 11:50, although there were mixed messages about when students could reenter. Smoke was seen in the hall in Anderson Hall 3 North just prior to the alarm, according to students who watched the trucks from outside the SIS Annex. The fire was caused by a lamp that was too close to a bed, according to students who live near the site of the fire.

Guapo's, Passport, Platinum: Delving into Local Dives

April 19

By Ryan Sherwin | April 19
