Freshman-senior relationship rocks Kinsolving
CAMPUS — Freshman Katy Handel shocked fellow residents of Kinsolving’s fourth floor Tuesday when she announced that she was dating senior Matt Lowery. “I cannot believe Katy is dating a senior,” said roommate Becca Howard. “I guess being a sophomore by hours really does make her more mature.” Handel made her announcement after calling all the girls on her floor into her room to watch the OC last Thursday night. “I tried to play it off like it wasn’t a big deal,” explained Handel. “I mean, I’ve always dated older guys — in high school I was the only girl in my grade to go to the senior prom all four years.” Not everyone shared in Handel’s enthusiasm, however. “You know, I could say I’m dating a senior, too,” sniffed Laura Templer. “I just don’t tell anyone he’s in high school.”

Student avoids eye contact with blind professor
CAMPUS — Fourth-year junior Scott Waller was accused by classmates of insensitivity toward the visually impaired after he failed to acknowledge his English professor Mort Rosenbaum as they passed each other on the Main Mall. “We were walking to class when we saw Dr. Rosenbaum,” said Monica Snowe. “We all said ‘hi’ except for Scott — he just looked down at his feet and didn’t say a word.” Although Dr. Rosenbaum was unaware of Scott’s presence, his classmates did not let the matter go unnoticed. Snowe chided, “Just because Professor Rosenbaum can’t see Scott, it doesn’t mean he can pretend he’s not there.” Defending himself, Waller stated, “I see him enough in class, so I’m sure he doesn’t want to see me after class either.” Snowe countered: “That’s just the sort of thing a blindist would say.”
