By FRANCES WARD Praise has been long overdue for the A&T Police Department. A&T has been plagued with a rash of bomb threats since February and the officers have efficiently evacuated at least 10buildings on campus. Once, the officers performed eight evacuations in one day. One officer said he felt that the hardest task was getting all residents to leave Scott Hall after a prank caller said a bomb had been placed in A&T's largest dormitory. In addition, once an unidentified caller said he had a remote control and would blow up Crosby Hall bet- ween 2 and 4 p.m. Many students and professors, whose classes had been interrupted previously, did not want to leave the building that day. Most of them contended that the threat was a "joke." But police warned that "this one might be it." One Officer even apologized for the inconvience when an instructor spoke harshly to him.
