I didn't see this posted... Insane!! I don't see how they can't catch this guy from that 2nd picture. Someone will recognize him.

Generally no one lives in the houses during the summer 'cept for Sigma Nu where the Conference Assistants stay.

And yes, I'm surprised he hasn't been caught yet.

I don't see how anyone could be recognized from those pictures. You can't see his face at all.

How awful is that! I hope they find that guy! Good thing FIJI had cameras. I know a few frat houses here have cameras and maybe 1 or 2 sorority houses.

If (God forbid) people were living there at the time, that f---er could have killed someone. What would possess someone to do something so dangerous? Sour grapes over going bidless? Maybe someone stole his girlfriend?

Do people who commit these crimes realize that what they might intend to be "just" vandalism might end up as homicide? I seriously don't get it.

It will be interesting to find out his motive, or if he's a serial arsonist. I usually hear about this stuff in NWA from my FIL.

EW, where is the Fiji House? Anywhere near Pomfret?

Right in front of Pomfret, to the back and left of the SAE house.

The Fiji's use to be near Futrall I think at one time, where they're building a parking garage now.

Oh no, no more Futrall or Holcomb? And they knocked down the 4-H House and I think if I went back, I wouldn't be able to find anything except Old Main.

I'm still upset that they knocked down my grandmother's house.

Maybe Fijis were in the 4-H House for awhile, that seems to ring a bell.

No no no, they were next to Futrall. Futrall is still there (it's where I stayed in undergrad), but there use to be a few houses next to it until they tore those down to make a gravel parking lot for Futrall/Holcomb. Then, this last year they started building a several story parking garage over that old lot.

I kind of thought that the 4-H house was Carnall Hall, but I don't know why.

^^Behind the SAE house

carnation · #12 07-15-2010, 04:53 PM

Was it the old AKL house or is it a new one? I'm trying to get oriented here.gee_ess, were they in Carnall when you were there?

gee_ess · #13 07-15-2010, 05:16 PM

No, it is the old Delta Upsilon house, I believe. I think it was DU when I was there in the early 80's. The old AKL house is long gone. When I was on campus, the FIJI's were on a side street in a stone house. I truly do not remember exactly where it was - maybe back behind the DG house or thereabouts?? But it was not on Stadium, that much I am relatively sure of. I've lost a lot of braincells since then!!

Carnall hall was an old, dilapidated building in the early 80's. If you rent The Blue and The Grey, there were scenes in the movie filmed at Carnall Hall. A bunch of us(KKG's) watched the filming and brought one of the lesser known (probably an extra!) home for dinner one night. It was probably his biggest thrill to have at least 75 college girls fawning all over him!

Google The Inn at Carnall Hall. I think you will enjoy seeing what they have done with it. It is actually a hotel not a B & B. Very popular with parents. University restaurant and hospitality majors work there. I stayed there during rush both times (for daughters) so I could spy on daughters as they walked up and down Maple to the different houses. :O Then stayed there again for Kappa initiation because it was so easy to slip over to the house for events.
Prices are decent - dinner in the restaurant is pricey but good.

Carnation, you should Google Map some of the campus addresses so you can see the street view of some of the campus buildings. Are you familiar with this? I ask, because I just learned how, myself and I think it is WAY cool.

carnation · #15 07-15-2010, 08:12 PM

I haven't done that! What do I do?

LOL, I'm picturing you hiding in the bushes, say over by the old union, trying to get a glimpse of your girls! If I'd done that, I probably would've fallen out of the bushes right in front of mine, lol.
