WSU Student Falls From Dorm

Washington State University confirms a 22-year-old male student fell 11 stories from Orton Hall Wednesday night and survived. A university spokesman, Darin Watkins, said the junior had extensive injuries and was flown by helicopter to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane. “It’s almost miraculous he’s alive and we’re really hoping for the best,” Watkins said. The student’s fall was broken by trees along the building and he landed in the grass. When emergency crews arrived, the student was conscious and talking. WSU Police confirm alcohol was not a factor in the fall and no foul play is suspected/ Nicole Hensley , SR. More here. (WSU photo: Orton Hall on WSU campus)

Question: Seriously? Are students attending college on the Palouse dumber than a box of rocks? This has to be the fourth or fifth student this fall to fall out of a dorm or frat window?
