It is reported that on Friday emergency crews had to evacuate and Eastern Illinois University building after a campus postal carrier found a package which had no return address, was poorly written with many misspellings and addressed to the university. There was some tape over the package and it had a rather strange appearance.

The package looked strange enough that the police called the bomb squad. Explosives investigators x-rayed the package and blocked off the street before they noticed that the package only contained an application to the school. They wouldn't say if the bomb scare would affect the person's chances for admission to the school but it would be processed like the rest of the applications.
