University Cancels Final Exams Because of Bomb Threats
School officials decided to take action after groundskeepers found two plastic bottles that possibly contained flammable liquid near a burning palm tree outside the Life Sciences building around 5:25 a.m., said campus Police Chief Mike Lane. . . .
Putting partially aside the fact that this bomb was pretty trivial, do you really want to give people an incentive to get final exams canceled by threatening to set off a bomb.

I have begun to think we should reverse our teaching that being a "Narc" or a "tattletale" is wrong. Granted this is college not grade school but someone seems to have a juvinile mind and if no one is coming forward to turn in the accused, maybe the officials should use grade school teacher tactics: If no one takes the test, no one passes.
