     I saw that.  That fire was at Nebraska Wesleyan.  I am a 1972 NWU 
graduate.  I wouldn't know anyone there now but I had some friends which 
were Tau frat rats.  :-)  But, this is awful.  They evidently didn't have a 
sprinkler system.  The fire inspector was quoted as saying if their had been 
one in place no one would have lost their life.  I have an 18 year old in 
college, not at Wesleyan, now I thought what if that would have been him?

I never learned anything when I was the one doing the talking.
