You read the headline correctly. Everyone's favorite person k back and better than ever. And you thought he was really going to graduate! Unless this spring is your first semester at Berhend, you probably remember good ole Mike. Mike was the former managing editor and role model of the Berhend Bacon. Last fall, after seven long years as a student at Berhend (hey, lot's of people go to college for seven years), Mike faked everybody out by pretending to graduate. Boy oh boy did Mikey love his practical jokes. He even carried this one so far as to talk the administration into letting him walk at graduation and receive a fake diploma. Little did you know this was not Mike's first graduation walk. When approached by another those darn ghosts A STATE PENN EERIE STRII3 O ENT PUBICATION I am here to inform you that eves pubication is a big boned pile of in, pretend. Meaning, untrue.

I can't believe you've never been cow tipping before!" (It should be known that Mike was a little tipsy from the contents of his shiny new silver flask that he kept under his robe when he made this comment. The only other explanation we have is that Mike frequently mistook the administration for more bovine creatures.) Thanks to a last minute save by a certain political science professor, Mike did not really graduate last semester. He instead took the semester off to travel the country as a salesman. When asked about his experiences, Mike had the following to say: "Hey, this salesman stuff isn't so easy. You gotta finesse them a little. By finessing I mean sputtering out sentence fragments and lighting things on fire." After several huge by agent waterbaby resident fibbie It was a tense moment when the announcer held the envelope in his hand and called the winning • name. "And the winner is... Provost and Dean John Lilley!" Tears have been waiting for this for ten long years, finally my bikini waxing has paid off!" Lil ley was the winner in the 45th annual Behrend Pageant of Beauty. First runner up was former Managing Editor of the Bacon, Mike Frawley. Lilley has competed in the pageant for ten years in a row and has, in the past, received no higher honor than fifth runner up. It was this embarrassing failures and much wasted time looking for Davenport, lowa, Mike decided to return to sunny Erie and get a job handing out surveys at the mall. "I am very excited to be coming back to Berhend after my respite," Mike said. Mike says that he plans to advance the Bacon even further into the 21‘' Century. "I want to get us some even better Macs for the office. I love Macs - can't get enough of them." Students may remember Mike for the numerous editorials he wrote complimenting his friends at SGA, the Greek organizations, and the Computer Center. Mike will he writing a new column next semester called "Happy, fuzzy fluff by Mike." "Mike is such a friendly, kind hearted guy. He just loves everybody. I have never met a freer spirit," said Jason Snyder, current editor-in-chief. Snyder will be retiring his position at the end of this semester. He is planning year though that Lilley made his With a talent of hula dancing, complete with grass skirt and coconut bra, while singing "On My Own" from the musical Les Miserables, Lilley felt he had a good chance of winning. "Last year the judges told me that stripping to Cypress Hill was unacceptable, but as long as my unmentionables were covered then I could do anything that I wanted to this year," he remarked. After the crown was placed on his head, and his sash draped across his chest, Lilley shimmied his way down the runway to parade in front of all the adoring fans. It has been esti- ran down the face of Lilley as he stepped up to receive his crown and bouquet of flowers. "I mated that about 3,000 students from the Berhend campus were in attendance to cheer on their Dean as this may be his last year competing. Rumor has it that a modeling agency located in Reno, Nevada, was heard making offers to Lilley after he exited backstage to dry his tears of joy. Though the competition was tough, Lilley was able to make it An average day at the Bacon for Mike on joining Senator Hillary Clinton's team in New York for a year before becoming a groupie for N'Sync.

After he performed his talent, he nervously watched backstage as runner-up Frawley wowed the crowd by juggling small animals while chugging mass quantities of beer. The results were that both men had made it to the :final round. After heating out such tough competion as Ken Miller, Director of Student Affairs and SGA President Jen Miles, Lilley stood looking down at the judges while answering his interview question. "What is the greatest thing that could ever happen to you," the announcer asked. - Urn,...world peace," was Lilley's answer and the crowd went wild. After blowing the interview question last year by answering, "me like boobies," Lilley had learned his lesson that all answers must be world peace. Should Lilley, for any reason, be unable to perform his duties as Berhend Pageant of Beauty winner, then Frawley will take over as queen. times at Behrend. Some of the greatest included hanging out with his fellow Baconians. "Maybe we weren't the smartest guys. Maybe we spent a little too much time puking off balconies. But we had fun." Mike also reminisced about the fun times he has had at Berhend: "There's tons of stuff to do here. Late night pitch `n putt, go to the livestock auction and cruise the 4H babes, throw stuff off the bridge . ." Ann Marie Havey , the Bacon Ad Manager, is also looking forward to the return of Frawley. He commented about how the campus would change when Mike returned: "That's when the whores come out. Doing their little behind-shake for the menfolk. Men laying their trick money down. Twenty dollars for the rent? Mmmm hmmmm. Maybe I'll just spend it on the whore." 2 PAGES
