Well, 2006 promises to be a rich, rewarding academic year at the UniverSIty of Illinois:
This guy - in a move hearkening back to the mid-90s - set his dorm room at Newman Hall on fire.
This guy (second item from bottom) was arrested for battering a cop.
This guy fell from his thrid story frat house window at 3AM Saturday.
A college education - the investment of a lifetime.
Wow.
And Chris, please don't make your Alma Mater blush by misspelling "university." :-P
I guess dealing with fires is just part and parcel of the new Chaplainicy. I wonder if anything caught fire when Fr. Duncan took the post in the 1920's.
Baaahahaa! Nice catch. And here I am with no way to fix it until tomorrow AM.
Actually, the Newman fire wasn't intentional. Evidently it was caused by someone's belongings falling off a closet shelf and resting on a lit light bulb.
Brandon, that's hilarious. I've heard a few other Newmanite "elders" make that same connection. I guess we'll have to warn the next Chaplain if we're still around then.
