been the editors of the Capital Times since
last spring, are headed separate directions

Bowman plans to receive his degree in
Communications from Penn State Harrisbutg
this May, while Zehr plans to leave the

a basic requirement course in the freshman
year.
“Somehow, he’s been passed through the
system without this being noticed, which is
suspicious of an insider conspiracy. It
certainly is not the fault of our streamlined
computer services, because in our attempt be
fiscally suave, no one should actually be
dealing with real human beings to get
anything accomplished within die Penn State
realm,” said Dr. Graham Spanier, President
of Penn State University. “The buck stops
now for Mr. Zehr, however. He absolutely
cannot have his degree until he returns to
wherever he came from and passes this
simple, elemental course.”
Although reluctant to admit the fact of his
failing, Zehr had a defensive response. “It

in the Arabian republic of Yemen. “It’s been
a semester-long dream to attend Yemen U,”
said Zehr. “I’ve been carefully following
happenings there from the UP (United Press)
wire. Its warmer and I’ll get to own my own
Uzi. It’s standard for all students to carry
one.
His scholastic plans are to study textile
design, while his second choice is to herd
sheep in Uzbekistan.
After he receives his degree, Bowman plans
to head south to Florida to develop a career
as a professional amateur golfer. “I would like
to be the best amateur golfer on the miniature
golf circuit,” he said. “I will be the greatest
amateur golfer. I will be a professional at it.”
He plans to train a couple of little junior
golfers, as well. “I am getting married. I love
kids. We plan to have ten of them; surely one
out of the ten will be the next Tiger Woods. I
figure its like throwing mud on the wall to
see what sticks. Did I tell you I was getting
manried?”
The staff of the Capital Times has mixed
feelings about their departure.
“I will finally get to hoard the desks and
personalize the computers in the (Capital
Times) office,” said an unidentified staffer.
