An 18-year-old student, Thomas Schwanke, was found in the basement of a dormitory on Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus around 8:00 A.M. this morning. Police at the university believe that Schwanke fell two to ten stories down a trash chute around 2:00 A.M. Witnesses said that they saw Schwanke drinking alcohol earlier that morning.
The Dean of Students at the university, Mary Rouse, said that this incident again raises concern about alcohol abuse on the campus.
Schwanke is being treated at Anderson Hospital. The officials at the hospital declined to talk about the conditions of Schwanke.
