Alex On your WVU hazing death story. I’m a ’85 graduate of the university, served as editor of the campus newspaper from ’84-’85 (the Daily Athenaeum). There was an eerily similar fraternity house death more than 30 years ago on campus. In fact, I think President Gee was there as well when it happened early in his college administrative career. A pledge or fraternity member died of exposure after a party at a fraternity house, it sparked a major investigation at the time (I think ’81 or ’82). Just a heads up for you. Paul B. Johnson
