Did Someone Yell Fire?
by Martine S. Lowry
On tlie morning of September 29th,
a fire broke out in the fieldhouse adja
cent to the football field. There was a
coach's meeting in progress and they
were the first to notice smoke coming
from the locker room.
Initially, the source of the fire was
not known, but the amount of smoke led
witnesses to believe that there was poten
tial for a serious problem. As a result,
the fire department was called to handle
the "blaze", which was traced to a
clothes dryer being used to dry athletic
socks. Apparently, the drier simply
over-heated and set the socks on fire.
Firefighters sporting gas-masks and their
high-temperature gear raked the burnt
bundle of socks into a pile and sprayed
them with a hose.
Except for the damaged dryer and
scorched socks there were no other dam
ages reported.
Rumors that President Dan Quayle
would be visiting the Methodist campus
on Friday, October 16th, generated a flur
ry of activity Tuesday as administrators,
faculty, staff, and students began to make
preparations for the Vice President's ap
pearance on a weekend already crowded
with Homecoming events. According to
college president Dr. Hendricks, an ad
vance person for the Vice ftesident had
scouted the campus on Monday and by
early Tuesday it looked 98% certain that
the vice president would visit the campus
and speak at the Riddle Center. But it
was not to be. The Vice President appar-
entiy changed his mind, a decision that
was greeted with mixed reactions from
the campus community. Some faculty
and administrators expressed disappoint
ment, others expressed relief. "He aban
doned his natural constituency," said one
faculty member who chose to remain
anonomous. "But I wasn't about to vote
Republican anyway."
