By: Steve Feitl , Managing Editor 08/10/2004

Police investigate powdery substance at student center.

Between 50 and 75 faculty and students were evacuated from the student center at Rider University after a suspicious letter was opened, revealing a lumpy, powdery unknown substance.
State police have been called in to determine the nature of the substance, which was accompanied by a note in the envelope, according to Deputy Chief of Police Joseph Prettyman. The contents of the note are unknown at this time.
One person came in contact with the substance and is receiving medical attention, according to Anthony Campbell, associate vice president of student affairs. The occupants of the student center have been moved to the dining hall as a precautionary measure and are awaiting further information.
The Trenton Fire Department's Hazardous Materials Unit is on the scene, according to Deputy Chief Prettyman.

Your link says substance found to be harmless. If they want to pull off a damaging anthrax attack it won't be mailed with a note warning of the exposure.
