Students at Washington State University did a double take when they were handed their free planners at their bookstore this week. The university bookstore, called the Bookie, distributed free agendas with a photo of rival school University of Washington on the cover, according to the Huffington Post.

According to a WSU official, the publisher mistakenly mixed up the similar-sounding universities when choosing a photo.

Educators told KREM the mistake wasn't a "huge deal."

Local restaurant Munchy'z Hot Dogs posted a picture of the planner:

According to the Seattle Times, there's no word on whether they'll swap the photo for something more... realistic.
