As he slept, a light bulb burned ln his room on the second floor of the Theta Chi fraternity house. A gust of air la believed to have caused a curtain to brush HUnsl the bulb. The FIRE began. Twenty-six residents of the bouse slept on as flames engulfed Marty Horn's room. Tragedy was averted, however, with the discovery of the blaze by Mike Spradley, Just home from work at 2 a.m. Wednesday. Today, the house Is closed. Residents are no longer able to live there, and lt may ha a' least six to eight months before they *U1 be able to return to: their house. The real story may Just be starting. "Mike Spradley, who discovered the fire, immediately began pounding on doors and waking people up," said Horn yesteday. "People in the other fraternities and sororities called the Fire Department while wa tried to gel everyone outside." "Nobody panicked—everyone kept their heads. Some of us went back Inside to fight the fire with a hose from the first floor," ho said. "A fireman told us it may have "been the only reason the entire bouse didn't burn down."- But the tact remains that several of the house residents are without clothes, books and a place to sleep. Several rooms were totally destroyed, while others suffered -water and heat damage. • . But as Horn and Ed Taylor, another resident of the house discovered, help comes, ln many forms. "parents In town, alumni friends, people lb the dorms and other fraternities—Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha c aj Rbo—have" all offered us places i. stay until this 4s all Straightened but," said Horn.

' Boh Lundal of thelnter-FraternityOfrice appeared on tbe Are scene at about 3 a.m. Wednesday and was struck by what he saw. "People were just beginning to getorgahi- zed and make head counts. The flames had died down and It was miraculous that no one was hurt. What could have happened lo occur to them." Within an hour and a half after the' first fire alarm rang; members of the Salvation Army had set up a kitchen oo the Theta Chi lawn to give students and firefighters hot beverages and food, "i cant . believe how quickly tbey responded," said Lundal. "It was so Impressive." Students have been salvaging what tbey can from the rooms but the toll of damages is mounting: Stereos, athletic equipment, clothing, books-.even notes needed for mid-terms. The loss Is ln most cases not insured. Horn was dressed la gym clothes today that he had stored in the Men's Gym. All the rest of his clothes. lay In a pile of . black rubble.
