Times-Picayne: Fire hits Dillard University

Though the rash of fires in New Orleans generally has abated, Dillard University got bad news Thursday as New Orleans Fire Superintendent Charles G. Parent announced that three ìmulti-storyî buildings on the campus have been severely burned.

Dillard has several dormitories that have multiple floors, but Parent didnít know which buildings burned, and he wouldnít speculate. Nor would he guess what started the fire. But he said he believed the damage, inflicted Wednesday, was severe.
