The Warren Library, the newest addition to the PBA campus, has been renamed and renovated to accommodate its most faithful patrons, pharmacy students. The new CVS Library of Pharmacy, with its less than sanitary bathrooms and previous penchant for parties, will now primarily cater to the needs of pharmacy and pre-pharmacy students."They came in and practically took charge of the library," said librarian Bob Twin, "and so we thought they just needed us the most."
Study rooms on the second and third floors now include a handy supply of insufflators and hangers for lab coats. Business, history, philosophy, and ministry books have been sold in order to clear shelf space for truckloads of PCAT study guides, medical journals, and drug brochures. The Rinker Boardroom has been converted into a pharmacy lab for studying the nature of energy drinks as a gateway drug.
Other academic programs have complained about the obvious favoritism being displayed for the pharmacy program in the library. PBA's administration took note of this, but rebutted by stating that the pharmacy program was PBA's "cash crop."
As one administrator exclaimed, "We don't even have to give them scholarships!"

very funny and very true!
The Confused Alum asks:
I can assume a few things that the bacon is satirizing, but for clarification, what's the back story?
"The new CVS Library of Pharmacy... will now primarily cater to the needs of pharmacy and pre-pharmacy students."
As if this weren't true already...I swear, those pharmacy students would practically camp out in those study rooms!
I'm not generalizing, but in my few encounters with pharmacy students I detected an air of unmerited impertinence. Humble pie is delicious, we should all have some!
If you are interested in sampling some humble pie it can be typically ascertained in the PBA cafeteria, usually beside the fly-encrusted pizza and the infamous nat-cream pudding.
CVS Library of Pharmacy, lol...
We'll, once Pres. Obama gets universal health care rolling and pharmicists only make 40k a year, I think alot of them will be 'lead' to other fields :-D
Universal health care will never happen. However, it's much more likely to occur than the Bacon being funny again.

1.) Im just going to assume you don't know the future and therefore are making an ungrounded claim.
2.) Your second comment proves you really have no idea what you're talking about

There you are anon, you just joined the masses of alumni, newcomers and the majority of undergraduate students in the ranks of mindless idiots according to KW/Black Falcon. You're in good company.
is kw for killer whale?
When was the Bacon better than it is now?
You complainers never really think through how much HARD WORK it takes to be BOTH a diploma mill AND dogmatic. It's easy to be one or the other, but achieving excellence in both simultaneously requires a lot of strategery. And bold moves.
You've gotta take some drastic measures, sometimes, and you have to do things like preventing access to books, lest your money-draining liberal arts students attempt to learn something and thwart both of your objectives in one fell swoop.
Ingrates.
I mean, if you don't want to be associated with barely-literate platitude-spouting drones, maybe it just isn't the place for you! But stop pissing on our success:

Holy crap, there's an actual library now? When I went to PBA, I was the lone student huddled in the one-room excuse-for-stacks, listening to musical theater rehearsals downstairs.
My favorite moment came when, after a day of trying to read over the music from "Carousel," I asked the librarian if she could help me find a book by Karl Marx that seemed to be missing, but which I needed for a paper. She whispered to me that she thought that "some books have been 'missing' for a while because 'someone' wasn't happy with their presence in the library."
I think she meant 'library.'
