Local hero assists in speedy grade return for B.A. Final

by Eric Haley

Over the holiday, University of Idaho presented Tim Dungles with a key to the Menard College of Law for his heroic actions that ultimately led to the Business Associations scantron finally being graded in the beginning of the Spring semester. Mr. Dungles is an associate food service provider at Wendy’s Restaurant, located across the road from the University. Depositing used cooking lubricant in to transport bins is one of Mr. Dungles many responsibilities on the job and while carrying out his duty on Christmas eve he saved the Fall 2007 B.A Final grades by picking up what he perceived to be unsoiled napkins in the diner’s parking lot.
“Customers got to wipe their hands on something so I picked them up”, said Dungles, during his key presentation address. “I knew something was wrong when they wouldn’t fit into the napkin dispensers so I looked at them closer and believing that I had found some sort of alien alphabet code, I did what anyone would do, I dialed 911. The operator finally explained to me that given the close proximity of the University and the fact that the code consisted of only darkened A, B, C, D, and E’s, it was most likely property of the University . And that made sense given the fact that if they were aliens who found us before we found them, they would probably have a more advanced alphabet.”
Mr. Dungles promptly forfeited the scantrons to University officials who in turn saw them safely back to the Law school. The school is not investigating how the scantrons turned up at Wendy’s at this time.
Once in custody, the scantrons were commercially mailed to India to be graded by the school’s outsourced scantron grading firm. Once back through customs and into Idaho, the grades were recorded and the students notified.
