| Freshman Ryan "Fire Guy" |
WINONA LAKE- Last night Grace held its annual campus wide game of capture the flag. This late night game of stealth and speed was however, interrupted by the piercing whine of a fire alarm system. In light of the new ‘no fire drill policy’ students knew this was for real! The Winona Lake fire department responded ‘immediately’ and was eventually on the scene.
The building that caught fire was the pride and joy of the Grace Student Affairs office, Indiana Hall. Indiana Hall is the newest of the dorms on campus.
According to the fire department the details of the incident are as follows: At about 11:30 pm a student on the guy’s side of Indiana Hall was cooking a cheesy pita in a microwave when the microwave caught fire. The fire quickly spread to rest of the room, then hall and eventually the entire dorm. Thankfully no one was hurt because most of the students were already outside playing capture the flag. The identity of the student who actually started the fire remains unclear, however it is widely suspected that it was a freshman named Ryan. Half of Indiana Hall burnt down before the flames were suppressed, thus many male students are now without a dorm.
Dean of Student Affairs, Jim Swanson, had this to say about where the displaced students would go, “We are working to find a new place for these displaced students. We have weighed a lot of different options and have come to what we think is a great solution. We will be putting half of the guys in Delta House, a quarter in the Orchard Mansion, and the remainder will move in early to Harstine Hall.”
When asked about adding extra residents to the Delta House and Orchard Mansion, the Associate Dean of Student Affairs had this to say, “The displaced students are mostly freshman and underclassmen. With that said, let’s be honest with ourselves, freshman are basically like sardines, you just cram them in wherever there is room.”
Some gifted students from Beta Hall approached Indiana Hall as the flames burnt high, and wrote a song to commemorate the favored dorm. The song went as follows, “Ryan started the fire! It was always burning since the world was turning, Ryan started the fire!” The musically gifted students seem to have been lead by the prestigious and talented chapel band.
