Fire erupts at 'U' power plant
60 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
(MARCH 12,1953)
The University's Board of
Governors of Residence Halls
hiked room and board rates for
the fall semester of 1953.
The Daily didn't disclose how
much the costs were raised,
but a board member said it was
"essentially just a question of
coping with increased prices."
The action marked the sec-
ond time in the past year that an
increase was voted on without
resident input.

sion on Indian Affairs.
Several local Native Ameri-
can groups claimed the ancient
skeleton belonged to them, but
the University claimed the arti-
fact was found as a result of
erosion or construction. Allan
Smith, vice president of aca-
demic affairs, told the Daily,
"We do not rob graves."

Native Americans interrupted

(MARCH 11, 1993)
A short-circuit in an electri-
cal extension cord caused a fire
at a University Power Plant.
The fire - originally thought
to be the result of arson -
caused $7,000 in damages.
The fire warranted a six-
engine response from the fire
department as well as at least
four police cruisers from the
University's Department of
Public Safety.
"Today was Pete's 50th birth-
day," plant engineer Mike Pep-
per told the Daily. "That's a hell
of a birthday cake."
