  Patently untrue.  The firebomb was placed by a student employee of the
computing center.  No one really knows the reasons, though at the time there
had been some vehement objection amongst the business community in Phreasnaugh
to the computerization at FSU (now known as CSUF), and one theory which many
people adhered to was that a consortium of business owners paid the student
to commit the crime.

  As the student refused to explain his motives, this will most likely remain
a mystery.  The student did serve (and may still be serving, for all I know)
a jail sentence for the crime.
