Lillis Complex to be closed Monday, May 7th due to bomb threat
I just recieved the following email desribing a precautionary closure of the Lillis Business Complex:
Over the weekend, the University of Oregon learned of a bomb threat made against the Lillis Business Complex. Upon receiving the threat, the UO Department of Public Safety immediately contacted the Eugene Police Department and locked down the complex. Law enforcement experts then conducted a sweep of the facilities. No explosive device was found. While UO and law enforcement officials do not believe the threat is credible, the decision has been made to close the buildings on Monday, May 7, 2007 as a precaution. As a result, all classes, activities and other business scheduled in the Lillis
Business Complex have been cancelled on Monday. The complex will reopen on Tuesday, May 8 at 7 a.m.

Hm. Any coincidence that this one was called in around midterms?
Another day… another threat, wonderful!
Apparently, as it states in the ODE, the bomb “threat” was a scribbled message on a bathroom stall in Eslinger hall. That seems like a pretty obscure reference, but I still think the University made the right decision. I mean, in all probabilities, nothing would have happened; but just to make sure, all the administration had to do was cancel class for the BA students…good for them.
And for the record…if anyone happens to find any more bomb threats scribbled on bathroom stalls across campus that claimed bombs would go off in the exact building, and at the exact time that I have classes for the rest of the semester……….It wasn’t me, and I don’t know anything. At least I’ll testify to that.
Why couldn’t this have been done on Wednesday?
I’m considering e-mailing my professor and asking him to move today’s class to the porch at Rennie’s.
The worst I ever did to Lillis was pee on it. I think the place had it coming.
I just read the same e-mail and although it’s kinda creepy… my first thought was that someone had a midterm that they were lookin’ to get out of.
A word to the copy-catter: study for your freakin’ exams JERK OFF don’t terrorize the rest of us!
