Steve is a pledge in Zeta Iota Tau (ZIT) fraternity at MinorStateTeachersCollege (MSTC).As part of his pledge duties,he is sent to climb the campus water tower to repaint the fraternity’s Greek letters,which had faded in the last year(the tower has been covered with graffiti placed on it by students).The night Steve climbs the tower a tremendous thunderstorm is in progress, making the steps quite slippery and exposing anyone climbing the tower to a great danger of being hit by lightning.Fortified by a six-pack of Hudepohl beer($1.89 warm at the local convenience store),Steve nonetheless decides to make the attempt.Unfortunately,Steve is electrocuted halfway up the tower by a short circuit in the tower’s pumping mechanism.The short circuit was the result of a failure to perform proper maintenance (this being deferred by MSTC so that it could pay higher faculty salaries)& was something that had happened before(although only pigeons had been fried in the past). THANKS for the help!
