University to Create New DICU

The new DICU (pronounced dick-you), or Dumbshit Intensive Care Unit, will be directed towards those who are injured through their own stupidity.

Construction Claims Victims

M1 Sara Cross was killed yesterday in a freak accident. The ever-changing detours in front of the school left her dazed and confused to the point where she accidentally wandered in front of a bulldozer. The bulldozer, moving at speeds in excess of 3 mph, smushed her. Witnesses say it all happened too quickly to intervene; a combination of screaming and squishing sounds were heard as she was hit. An autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death. Test results showing if the bulldozer driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident have not yet been released. Friend Elizabeth Piontek said this in memorium, "It's probably for the best, she wasn't all that bright. Hey, is this going to be in The Bearded Dean? HI MOM! I knew someday I'd be famoused <sic>. Look, I can tapdance!"

Dean McCallum had these words at a news conference. "Who? Did she pay her tuition yet? It's not too late to take someone off the waitlist for her, is it?"
