Terror alert system not clear

It seems like everyday there are news conferences about intelligence picking up suspicious chatter and possible unspecified threats.

I’m a good Horned Frog.

I dutifully duck my head when entering the mail room and the back of the Student Center, I walk around the school seal and I rarely walk on the grass in front of Reed Hall. I even paid attention during my Monday tour.
