Police report the injury of 18 year old freshman student, Thomas Schwanke, of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville who was found at 7:40 AM this morning in the dormitory basement on campus.
He is believed to have fallen anywhere from two to ten stories down a trash chute around 2:00 AM according to police. Witnesses report Schwanke had been drinking when they saw him earlier in the morning, which rises concern for Mar Rouse, Dean of Students at the University, about alcohol abuse on campus. Schwanke is being hospitalized at Anderson Hospital in Maryville, and hospital officials refuse to discuss his current condition.

Kerry - your second sentence is actually the lead. What is newsworthy is that he fell down a trash chute. Some things to watch - spelling (Mary, raises), and also check the AP Stylebook for correct style for time (a.m., p.m., etc). Try shortening, simplifying and "dehospitalizing" your last sentence.
