His dorm was one of the dorms evacuated. I received a text message from him, while he was in class, in a building right behind the evacuation line. He agreed with some of the students quoted in the article, that Texas State didn't handle it properly.

Some idiot thinks he's being funny.

and by Be Safe I mean go to Dudley's or Dixie Chicken (assuming they still exist)

When I was a grad student at TAMU back in the 80's, there were a number of bomb threats on days when the huge freshman bio classes had exams.

BREAKING NEWS: Texas A&M has issued a Code Maroon after a bomb threat was received. Everyone is being asked to evacuate campus by foot immediately. From their website: The University has received a campus-wide bomb threat. We are asking all students, faculty, and staff to evacuate campus as quickly and as safely as possible by foot. Do not use a vehicle at this time. This evacuation is effective immediately until further notice.

Just kidding, but most Texans would get it.

I recall it happening at several universities about a month ago. I hope everyone down at Texas A&M stays safe. I work at a large university and know university communities have made a lot of notification improvements since Va Tech, but anxiety is heightened as well.
