Hyde, Fennessy Granted Tentaclesy Ed Strictly

OSSE HALL — Two of Kenyon’s most re-ected professors have recently receivedntacles: M. Siobhan Fennessy, professor of ology and co-director of the Brown Familyvironmental Center; and Lewis Hyde, Rich-

d L. Thomas Professor of Creative Writing.

Fennessy, who has been teaching at Kenyonr eleven years, said, “Receiving tentacles ise of the highlights of an academic career. Itels great.”Hyde said that receiving tentacles “is a niceeling of accomplishment, and it has beenonderful to hear the kind words and goodshes of so many Kenyon cephalopods this

eek.”Both professors join the ranks of legend-

y professors like Peter Rutkoff, Kathryn Ed-ards, and Perry Lentz, who have been utiliz-g their muscular hydrostats for years. “I’mproud of both of them,” said Lentz during

phone interview. “Being granted elongated

y life.”But it’s not just an honor. Tentacles are

eant to serve as an added incentive for espe-ally talented thinkers who seem to be inhib-d by four limbs. “I would encourage themt to grow complacent in their new security,”ntz encouraged, “or forget how much of a

sponsibility comes with having tentacles. Illed them my Eight Consciences. I had theility to get more done, and they held me to”Indeed, if tentacles are inactive for an inor-nate amount of time, they have the tendencyemit a noxious ink out of their pores. For thisason, tentacled professors are encouragedbe particularly cautious around loved ones.

evertheless, the joy Hyde and Fennessy are

feeling this week overshadows any concernsfor the future.

“I’m relieved that the review process is overand had a successful conclusion. My wife andecosystem are extremely relieved,” Hyde said.“When I told my eight-year-old daughter thatI was awarded tentacles, she jumped up anddown, and during one of her jumps, I got theidea to scoop her up with one of my tentaclesand hold her in the air, and I held her tight astears rolled down her face. Later that day, sheasked me which tentacle I had used to hug her,and I told her that now that I was bilaterallysymmetrical, I just didn’t know. That’s a mo-

ment I’ll never forget.”

Lewis Hyde, recently tentacled Professor.

Senior Never Going to Act on Freshman-Year ‘Hmm’ Gurl Wulf 

TEPS OF ROSSE — As on most Thursdayernoons between 1:00–1:10 p.m., Elizabetheffer ’10 was found sitting on the steps of osse, peering eagerly across the lawn to theors of Peirce. She was waiting for a brief 

ghting of Jack Larson ’10, on whom she hasd a crush for nearly three years, as he ex-d a late lunch and headed to The Jazz Age,ssing right by her perch on the stone steps, ale behind a big pillar.Pfeffer said, catching sight of him, “Oh myaaawd, he was my hmm freshman year —member? The dating doctor? He was like,verybody has a hmm, and someday it’ll turnt that your hmm turns into one of your bestends and you’ll laugh about the times you

mm-ed over him.’ Remember? Well, that’shat it’s like. Only forever.”Pfeffer has never spoken to Larson, and inct has no real desire to. “It’s better this way,”e said. “When we meet at the ten-year re-ion, he’ll be so impressed that I didn’t evento talk to him the whole time we were in

hool together.”Lest anyone think Pfeffer’s crush is based

on nothing but Larson’s matted golden locksand sweet Volkswagen Jetta, she said that theyare both Political Science majors and both goto the KAC between eight and ten at night.How much of this is coincidence and howmuch is because Pfeffer has followed Larson’sschedule since the third day of freshman yearis up for debate, but she swears there’s moreto it.

After much Facebook stalking, friend-asking-friend data-gathering, and even someskillfully maneuvered treadmill-overhearingsessions, Pfeffer has discovered that theyboth have collections of license plates fromthe Eastern seaboard. “Hardly anyone has anold-school Maryland plate, but I’ve heard thatJack does. Clearly, he’s a keeper,” Pfeffer said,happily anticipating the day she “accidentally”runs into him and he realizes she’s the creeperwho’s been asking about him since day one.

“It’s a thin line,” says Pfeffer’s freshman-year roommate, Ursula Hayes ’10. “I thinkyou get to know her, it’s really just a very af-fectionate brand of following someone arounda lot, or sighing over them from across Peirce.It’s kind of sweet.”

Hello hello to all you single senior ladiesout there. You know it’s a prime season to playcougar and participate in those extra-curric-ular encounters. There are many fresh youngacorns out there, so be cunning. Sometimes I

Holy Shit, I’m,Like, Abroad!By Jean Shortz

hey y’all!i’m so honored that the collegiate chose

me to write an editorial about my semesterabroad haha.

i was going to enroll in a fashion-mar-keting program in london, but i decided togo on an experimental program in tajikistan— sounds totally random, but annie andchastity, two of my best friends from campmerrimack, told me about it. they said theywere going, and then on the last night of camp at the dance (we had chugged whitewine spritzers while our campers were get-ting ready lol bAdDaSsEs), they totallyconvinced me to go with them.

well, they’re not fucking here. turns out,

they found out that i was the one that toldthe camp director that annie was pregnant,and so they made up this program and soldme into slavery. so i’m here. alone. wear- whatever it is. but, hey. i’m so adaptable.i’m totally going to make the best of this,duh. hahahahahaha.

okay, so my “family.” i’m living withthe khayrulloyevs. they’re a lot differentfrom my real family lol. i have three moms,fourteen sisters, and eleven brothers… ihaven’t met the brothers because i’m notallowed to talk to men while i’m here…that’s what one of my moms told me. i

don’t think it would be a big deal, though. iburned a t.i. cd, an oasis cd, and a coldplaycd for my brothers and left them at the gateto their wing of the house last night. one of the whores who was going in took them soshe was probably going to give them to oneof my brothers (seriously, the girls here areSUCH sweethearts).

I’m not really sure about the nightlife just yet… i know opiates are like kind of a big deal just because i work in an opi- not sure if i want to try any of the drugsyet. it could be fun! when in rome! hahaanchorman… more like, when enslaved

by druglords on the peak korzhenevskaya,north of ismoil somoni, on the south bankof muksu river!!! lol

I’m not sure where my university is orwhen i start (or if i start lol), but that will benice to get to know some locals. also, i’llall hahahahaha jk i think i will be able to!in winter 2010, so i’ll hopefully make thatone.
