Gonzaga Fire

Church steeples.


With the Gonzaga basketball team doing so well there has been an increase amount of students applying to Gonzaga. I have heard that some students even reside in hotels around the school. Gonzaga therefore needed more dorms. The projected cost of building the new dorms was anywhere from 8-10 million dollars. All hopes of new residency was dashed when the unfinished Gonzaga dormitories caught fire earlier this morning. Rumors slowly unfold saying that it was a possible portable heater that caused the destruction. Scroll down to see more photos of the fire.

Firmen watch the fire too.

Brave fireman.

Back side of building.

I ride by this building every morining on may way to school. I watched it slowly form and today I watched it smolder in ruins. It is almost sad, yet I can not figure out why. The building was incomplete and no one was harmed but I feel a real sense of loss.

A recent survery was done asking Americans what their five freedoms were. It turned out that only 1 in 1000 could answer this question yet 22% can name all five Simpsons characters. Can you? You might ask yourself why this is important. The truth of the matter is knowing your five freedoms is not as important as knowing how they are being taken away from you.

I recently attended a speech on the Patriot Act. I learned that many of our rights are being taken away because of this. The Patriot Act allows goverment officials to tap in to my phone, computer, and personal life if they feel I am a threat. Yet ask yourself how many terrorist have been caught from these tactics. Neither you nor I can go on to the internet and learn about Islalmic religion with out the threat of being watched. This truly does happen. For more information about the ACLU click here.
