The 8500 students are numbered off (assigned id's) from 1 to 10. Then you wait. Your first random number is the ID of the first person who dies. Second random is the ID of second person to die. Etc.
Fairly slow algorithm. And only good for 8500 random numbers. But I think it would give a good distribution.
