Box of condoms leads to evacuation

College officials called police and postal inspectors after the box was delivered Thursday. What they found inside wasn't an Al-Qaida bomb — it was a... box containing 500 condoms.

The package was sent to a teacher of a human sexuality class, and was sent by a person who had been a previous speaker at the class, said Rob Denson, the college's president.

Phew!
