Anyone heard of a cannon exploding back around 1978? Supposedly, KA had a black powder cannon and it exploded, killing one student. Looking for some info on this incident.

Ahh, an instance where the Miner could come in handy...

They're too busy suing the students and firing anyone who's trying to do some good.

I'm a little late in putting this together (reading the miner isn't a high priority for me) but, anybody else notice that they're now printing PHD... *coughmineshaftalreadydoesthatcough*

Well, I can confirm that it actually happened. When I was a pledge there, one of the guys told me about it, apparently it was his father's roommate that died. I really don't remember anything else about it though.

Sidenote: No, I'm not in KA anymore. Pledged for a week, then decided frats weren't for me.

I am willing to give the Miner the benefit of the doubt, in this case. They had an online poll and out of nearly 10 choices, PhD got more than half of the vote.

/off topic

Anyway, I had heard this from my dad as well. Also have lots of fun stories about KMNR and when the theaters in town (because they had more than the Forum 4) used to have porn nights from the 80's.

Umm...for those of us who have the benefit of not being in Rolla anymore, what does "printing PHD" mean?

I was under the impression it was a sonic boom. No that was a different one. This time there was an explosion at the mine.
