Timely Notice: PBA streets officially safe

After several threatening incidents on campus, involving a mugging and an armed robbery, PBA Security is happy to announce that the campus is no longer at risk. 

Officers took active pursuit of the suspect, a 97 two-speed Yamaha, late last night, after it was sighted for suspicious activity near the Baxter lobby. When it pulled into this 'No-Parking' zone of the ODP garage, officers took immediate action to apprehend the Mo-ped.

"There's not even a curb there," said Lt. Landin Maxgood. 

While there is no conclusive evidence, Safety and Security is certain that the Yamaha is responsible for all violent incidents on campus over past months, and with it in custody, are confident that PBA has absolutely nothing more to worry about. 

"We're just glad to know that students are now in a much safer environment,"

said Sgt. Perry Roller as he frisked the scooter for any firearms. 

Showing extra precaution, officers will now be required to carry a tire boot with them at all times, in case family members of the suspect attempt any violent retaliation. 

Bacon takes sabbatical

As you've probably noticed, the Bacon has been on an extended vacation for the past couple of weeks. We apologize for this, and sincerely hope to continue business again in the fall. We appreciate your e-mails and continued support. Whether we use them or not, ideas are always welcome, as they help us to gather a better picture for what you all are thinking. Until that time, thanks again and good luck with finals.

Administrators attempt to curtail Daniel E. Goodman Award yet again

As the end of the semester approaches, Student Government prepares to hold a vote for the annual Daniel E. Goodman professor of the year Award. That is if PBA administrators have nothing to say about the matter. 

Over the past weeks, school officials have pressured Student Government to either cancel the vote or change the name to something 'more suitable.' Here are administrators top 10 recommended names for the new award. 

1. The 'Clark-Kloba-Searle-Supreme Delta Squadron Force' Professor of the Year Award.

2. The 'Sign the Statement of Faith or Leave' Professor of the Year Award

3. The 'Future Gardner-Webb Faculty Member' Professor of the Year Award

4. The 'You'll Never Get Tenure If It's The Last Thing We Do' Professor of the Year Award.

5. The 'Student's Can Be Bought' Professor of the Year Award

6. The 'I'm The President That's Why' Professor of the Year Award

7. The 'Most Faith Integration In A Theoretical Algebra Class' Professor of the Year Award

8. The 'I Hope Alumni Don't Hear About This' Professor of the Year Award

9. The 'Oh My, Darling Isn't This The Most Elaborate Professor of the Year Banquet Ever, Wherever Did They Get The Money To Fund This' Professor of the Year Award.

10. The 'Suddenly My Cost of Living in West Palm Beach Has Risen And I Can No Longer Afford to Live in the Area and God is Calling Me Elsewhere Too' Professor of the Year Award.

Now seriously folks, administrators are doing all they can to make sure that this award is not given. This includes denying Student Government list serve e-mails and fliers bearing Daniel Goodman's name; not to mention threatening next years Student Government budget. A vote has been taken for nominations for the award, however, the actual vote will take place later this semester. 

All disagreements aside, the truth of the matter is that, with the consideration of the voice and opinions of students, faculty, and alumni, Student Government voted the keep the name of this award, and for administrators to completely disregard that decision is absolutely preposterous.
