DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The president of Des Moines Area Community College says a typo caused an unfortunate and offensive mistake in a calendar item in a school handbook.
The handbook was distributed to about 10,000 students before the mistake was discovered.
An entry for Feb. 16, 2009, was supposed to read "Black History Lunch and Learn." Instead, it says "Black History Linch and Learn."
It sounds like "lynch," - a term commonly used for hangings by a mob.
DMACC President Rob Denson says there's no question it's just a mistake. He learned of the typo on Sept. 17 and issued an apology.
Stickers are available to students to place over the entry, which will be corrected in the next printing.

Surely the longer a man duck hunts the wealthier he becomes in experience,in reminiscence,in love of nature,if he goes out with the harvest of a quiet eye,free from the plague of himself
