WSU Blaze Prompts Inquiry]
By Jennifer Hagin
Staff Writer
Responding to a early morning call,
Washington Slate University firefighters
found a burning fraternity house and an
unusual sight in the guest room.
Washington State Fire Capt. David
Grimes said no one was harmed in the
Saturday morning fire at the Sigma Nu
house, but firefighters were surprised to
see a fraternity member bound by duct
tape in a section of the house untouched
by the blaze.
While ihe student, who officials
would not identify, was unharmed, the
fraternity is under investigation for haz
ing.
Grimes said a lit candle falling on a
couch caused the fire which destroyed
the third floor and damaged the two bot
tom stories. He said the students were
slow to evacuate due to a recent string of
false alarms.
After 20 minutes at the scene, he said
several fraternity members alerted him
to the possible presence of someone in
(he first-floor guest room.
Alumnus to Return for Encore Act
By Dave Povill
Staff Writer
It took singer/comedian I,arrv "The
Dream” Weaver almost 10 years, but
he’s finally coming back to the Union
Cabaret tonight for his encore.
The UNC alumnus got his start at a
stand-up contest in the Cabaret a little
less than 10 years ago, and now he’s
returning for another stand-up contest,
this time as the host. The contest, pre
sented by the STV sketch-comedy
show, “Off the Cuff,” starts at 8 p.m.
Wednesday and is free and open to all.
Weaver, w r ho was in “Off the Cuff” as
a student, has expanded his comic
career since his college days.
Fie founded the comedy group,
Selected Hilarity, with four friends back
in 1990. “We traveled all over the coun
try, played 33 states and headlined over
.)()() shows. We played all the top clubs,
including Caroline’s Comedy Club in
New York, along with The Laugh

Grimes said he entered the burning
house and found a couch and chair
stacked in front of the guest room door.
After removing the furniture, he said
he discovered a college-age student
wrapped in duct tape in the room.
“His ankles were bound fairly tight
ly,” said Grimes. “His hands were not
bound, but tangled with duct tape. He
only had his jockey shorts on.”
Finding the sophomore student
bound in duct tape prompted a univer
sity investigation into the possibility that
the student was being hazed.
Al Jamison, interim vice provost for
Student Affairs, is conducting the
inquiry. He said five fraternity members
and the bound student had volunteered
to meet with him.
Officials said it was not immediately
clear why the student had been bound.
Jamison said some fraternity mem
bers could be charged with hazing or
reckless endangerment. If found guilty,
they could be expelled or have their fra
ternity charter revoked, or they could be
fined and given community service.
No Sigma Nu members could be
Factory and The Improv in (Los
Angeles),” said Weaver.
“The thing that most stands out in my
mind was his business sense,” fellow
Hilarity member David Drake said of
Weaver, who majored in accounting.
“In the early days, Larry ended up
being the brains behind the marketing
engine that was Selected Hilarity. If it
hadn’t been for him, we would have just
been a bunch of guys hanging around
acting silly.”
After the group broke up in 1997,
Weaver released his debut CD, “Pack
full of Comedy.” The album received
national airplay on the Dr. Demento
Show. “(Dr. Demento’s) exposure has
been really good for me,” said Weaver.
“Dr. Demento is on in a bunch of dif
ferent markets,” he said. “I did a show
out in (Los Angeles), where he’s based,
and it was weird. I had never played out
there in my life, but there were all these
people who knew my lyrics. It’s the
power of radio.”
QJljr Saily (Tar Hppl
reached for comment. But some
doubted the incident involved hazing*
“My guess it was probably a prank*
thing,” Grimes said. “It didn’t appear to
be hazing.”
The bound student was not the only*-
fratemity member needing help, Crimes
said. They also found another member
asleep in the basement.
Further compounding the possible”
danger and reminiscent of a Chapel Hill'
tragedy, Grimes said the Sigma Nu
house did not have a sprinkler system."'
UNC’s Phi Gamma Delta fraternity
house burned down in 1996, killing five' 1
people. The deaths prompted the"
Chapel Hill Town Council to require"
sprinkler systems in all Greek houses. ,
The fire also forced the evacuation of'
two nearby sorority houses, Alpha Chi
Omega and Gamma Phi Beta.
Alpha Chi Omega member Brittany'
Carlson said the situation was unfortu
nate. “It’s kind of sad that no one went
to go get him, though.”

Weaver said he was hoping to have
his second album, “Everybody’s Crazx
But Me!” available by Wednesday
through his Web site (www.larry
weaver.com) and in stores soon.
The album showcases Weaver’
unique blend of comic songs and skit
with influences from country to hip hop
It even features a remix of' his bigges
hit, “Grandpa’s Gone Gangsta.”
Weaver was voted 1998 Mali
Comedian of the Year Runner-up a
comedy.com and is a Feature Perforate
for the Weird Al Fan Convention 2000
“We’re really lucky to have Tarn
hosting the show,” said Jame
Khanlarian, the producer of “Off thi
Cuff” and organizer of Wednesday’
show. “It will be great.
“A lot of people have already beet
excited about coming to see it, so hope
fully we won’t disappoint.”
