Calendar mistaken for bomb
UAPD called the bomb squad to campus yesterday morning after a professor received an unusual package in the mail that turned out to be a late Christmas gift.
"It was a suspicious package and it turned out to be a calendar," said University Police Cmdr. Brian Seastone.
The package, which had no return address but came from overseas, was delivered to a professor in the Mines Building, 1235 E. North Campus Drive, Seastone said.
UAPD responded at 8 a.m. yesterday, and Seastone said they decided to phone the Tucson Police Department Bomb Squad.
"It was suspicious enough that we called the bomb squad," he said. "It was a Christmas present that he (the professor) did not expect."
Seastone did not have the professor's name available, and said no one was evacuated from the building.
