Both Northern Illinois University and Truman College were evacuated today due to bomb threats, but both are back to business as usual now. NIU shut down a campus building at 11:20 a.m., and sent bomb-sniffing dogs through campus. They found nothing, and the building was pronounced "all clear" at 2 p.m. Across town at Truman College, the whole campus was evacuated at 12:50 p.m. After police searches, it was reopened at 3 p.m.

Guys, this is not a good kind of "trick." How about a little more "treat," eh?
