Box of condoms leads to evacuation


Several classrooms at Des Moines Area Community College were evacuated after college officials became nervous about a suspicious package.

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.
