many students pause during the last two weeks, well-known organization the Peeps O Kenyon has cut ties to the Greek com- munity. Over the last four decades this ir- reverent band of fun-lovers has had an on- again, off-again relationship with Kenyon College Greeks. Their recent split is being attributed to unpaid dues, but when asked, members could not understand where the money went. 'I could swear we flled an Orca with that green devil, said Peeps member Ashley Reinman 10, removing multiple tabs of LSD from her tongue. 'If I fnd a day that`s ft for feeling I`ll wish in my penny. When asked about the recent turn of events, many Kenyon students expressed concern over the loss of parties traditionally host- ed by the Peeps. One party on everyones mind was the Debutante Ball, usually the frst big Peeps event of the academic year. Everyone dresses up, dances, and enjoys himself, said Greg Chacin 09. Every- thing feels good. Plus, Chacin continued, last year, the brownies turned into dinosaur tits! Other Peeps events around campus include the Halloween party, a faux wedding dur- ing Sendoff, and the annual Acid/Sprinkler Fun Run. Cory Sillun 10 expressed dis- may at the thought of missing the latter. Setting up for that was one of my favorite duties as a Peep. Now who will make rain for the gnome kingdom beneath Ransom? King Lorpdock will make bloody war on our ankles if the rain from my sprinkle body seeps upward not downward and ever spinning your eyes have become beautiful phalli shooting stars toward the moon. As of press time Sillun is still hospitalized. The Peeps are asking Kenyon students to keep her in their stickerlicklicks. Peeps Drop Greek Status, Acid By Mildred Gout HORWITZ HOUSEIn an effort to instill practical skill-building as well as theoretical understanding in their graduating seniors, the Political Sci- ence department revised the guidelines of their Senior Exercise, completely doing away with the former fve-hour written examination in favor of an ap- titude test. In this test, initially proposed by Professor Alex McKeown and rati- fed by unanimous vote, each senior is assigned one developing nation. They then have 24 hours to impose a stilted, ill-ftting bastardization of liberal democracy upon their country, transforming it into a seething nest of poverty, ethnic unrest, and religious extremism. Administrators didnt like it. Something about ruining our inter- national reputation. Or maybe it was a cultural sensitivity thing, Department head Joseph Klesner said.

Gocials tenure on the hill has been one marked by frequent protests about her some- times controversial actions. In particular, students were up in arms at the oft-maligned party policy, which requires half a dozen stu- dents to remain sober for nearly four hours once a semester. Frustrated students have called for a return GOCIAL RESIGNS to former Dean of Students Donald J. Oma- hans largely hands-off method of gover- nance. Donnys response to most problems was, Lets blow a J and forget about this noise, said Psi Upsilon president Lyle Mc- Scorch 09. The transition to a new dean will be hard on all of us, added Greek Council Presi- dent Ronald Alexander 09, who delivered a quick elbow to McScorchs midsection when the latter broke out in giggles at the words hard-on. But hopefully we can fnd a Dean of Students who stays the hell away from those shes paid to assist. Alec Beout 11 hailed Gocials resignation, soberly commenting, Long live freedom. Greek Council To Name Successor By Dan Schlumphrey STORERKenyon students are jittery with antici- pation as campus`s frst and only Jewish a cappella group waits to unveil the date of its frst perfor- mance. Whats the holdup? According to president and musical director Ernie Goldwater 09, the arduous process of naming the group has prevented them from making progress. I know, its just a name, right? Goldwater joked. But no, a good moniker is more than just a title. Its a witty, playful amalgamoften a portman- teauof everything we hold dear. Were missing that perfect pun. The group thought they had nailed it when tenor Alex Lipstein 10 came up with Oy Cappella, but it turns out they werent the only ones whod thought of it. Jewish A Cappella Group Seeks Perfect Pun Continued on Page 2 Continued on Page 2 Page 1 and that our seniors are the best-qualifed people for the job. Leah Rebe 09 was eager to begin. I got Bu- rundi. Its one of the poorest countries in the world and its population defnes itself mainly by ethnicity. So, naturally, I implemented a unitary government with a plurality electoral system and introduced liberal education in place of vocational training. I also sterilized the poorest fve percent. Democracy and clas- sical excellence in action! Hansel Otterbein `09 was the frst student to receive Distinction honors under the new sys- tem, having actually provoked his assigned country, Turkmenistan, into a devastating ethnic cleansing campaign within four hours of his arrival. No big deal, Otterbein said. You gotta break some eggs to make a demo- cratic omelet with pure proportional represen- tation and a Rousseauean civil religion. Professor of Religious Studies Vernon Schubel, usually all over this shit, could not be reached for comment. Thirty-six Jewish a cappella groups in the Midwest alone go by Oy Cappella, Lip- stein said. Thirty-six. Havent you schmucks heard of Google? At Thursdays rehearsal, Goldwater gave a fery lecture, calling the group 'musical pro- fessionals and nomenclatural amateurs. But he ended with an optimistic note, suggesting that the elusive pun might fnally be within their reach. Its out there, said Goldwater, that glori- ous bit of wordplay that combines Judaica, Kenyon kitsch, and our love of song. To tell you the truth, Lipstein said, I kind of like The Chosen Tones. The as-yet-unnamed group, which rehearses every night except on Shabbat, has collected a diverse repertoire, rich arrangements, fat- tering khakis, and legions of fans who are preparing to go unfulflled until the perfect pun is obtained. I wont settle for less, demanded Ja- cob Fishback 12, a fan. If they come up with some stale title like The Koko- steiners,` I`m gonna fip a goy. But some, to the chagrin of the group, are growing impatient. Its been way too long, another fan lamented via Allstu last week. I want to hear Hava Nagila, and I want to hear it over beatboxing. In the last few weeks, the group has come up with a few ideas. Theres Challah Back and Talmuddy Waters, Lipstein said, which, you know, Im not crazy about. The Bar-Chord Mitzvahs is pret- ty lame, too. And then I thought of The Shoahstoppers, but thats . . . Too real, Goldwater interrupted. Too real. A cappella fans, the balls in your court. Email kenyon.collegiate@gmail.com with your pick, and if your pun is the win- ner, the group will surprise you at your door with a selection from Stein, Bock, and Harnicks Fiddler on the Roof.

Mark Kohlman, Chief Financial Offcer, ex- plained the decision in greater depth: From a fnancial perspective, this decision makes a lot of sense. ALFA has a proven track record of survey and market research, HR support, and in- and out-bound calling services. All these skills are, obviously, directly applicable to the Community Advisor position. This deal, he continued, represents syn- ergy, streamlined communication, and cost- effective branding. When asked to explain the logistics of the program, Alicia G. Dugas, Assistant Dean of Students for Housing and Residential Life, ex- plained that ALFA will be using videoconfer- encing software to keep eyes on dorm rooms and halls 24 hours a day. Mumbai is a technological capital of the world, she said, and we love cutting-edge technology here at Kenyon. Many of our com- petitor schools have outsourced their CA pro- grams as well. It was inevitable that we would follow suit. Student response has been less than fa- vorable on the issue, with many concerns centered around the issue of privacy. Erma Stending 09 explained, Using webcams in dorms and halls is just another way to ruin fun at Kenyon College. But Im still more upset that Facebook tricked me into thinking that it was private. Colt McGuddy 11 echoes this sentiment about privacy concerns. Its weird that some dude in India can see me naked if Im not careful. But, as an anthropology major, I dont think its fair for me to judge another culture or its people without ob- jective, in-depth ethnographic research. Saxby Chambluss 10 also utilized his academic background to explain his feel- ings on the issue. As a political science major, he said, I just feel like globaliza- tion makes this inevitable. I dont know if youve read Tom Friedman or not, but in a very complex argumentwhich Im go- ing to make much more pedestrian here he explains that the world is just hot, fat, and crowded. Maybe Kenyon is just following the tra- jectory of the world, and getting hot, fat, and crowded, Chambluss concluded. CA Positions Outsourced To India For 2009 Freshman Shares Unique, Tangential Experiences In Seminar By Montana Criminitely RALSTON HOUSEKenyons sociology department has been in an uproar since the beginning of second semester, when wunderkind Josh Kremel 12 started making waves in his introductory seminar. Professor Marla Kohlman, chair of the department, claims Kremel is the breath of fresh air this school needs. Ive never seen anything like it, Kohlman continued. I had barely started the lecture and already his hand was in the air. At frst I thought he needed to use the restroom, but Page 2 Continued on Page 3 Jugdeep John Smith, Norton CA for 2009, at desk in Mumbai By The Guy Ahead Of You In Line Oh, boy. Its breakfast time! Lets make a lit- tle inventory here. Got my juice, got my eggs, got my bagel. What else do I need? I know theres one thing I forgot. Hmm.
Oh! Of course! Cream cheese for my bagel! Andwhats this?Ive been standing in front of it this whole time! How convenient. I hate how they put both chunky, gloppy, white breakfast toppings right next to each other. If, God forbid, I end up spreading the wrong condiment on my crusty treat, my morning will be ruined. Unfortunately, there`s only one surefre meth- od of differentiating between the two. I must stand here and probe each bucket, testing painstakingly each substances consistency. Derp de derp. How weird that one has a butter knife, while the other requires a larger, broader spreading tool. Peirce always has such random stuff! Oh, hey there, Friend I See Every Morning! Sure, go ahead and gripe about waking up for your 11:10 class. No, of course youre not bothering me. Im just at the front of the line for the cream cheese.
Got it! The one in the middlejust like the label sequence on the glass indicates! Only one question remains. Is this the low-fat kind? Maybe I should wait around to ask the AVI lady. Hmm. Holy shit. Is that Golden Grahams or Cinna- mon Toast Crunch? then he started to inform the class that he had spent an entire two weeks building a house with his church groupso he really understood how poverty affects society as a whole. I realized then and there we had stumbled upon something special. 'It`s the frst time I`ve seen a seminar break into a spontaneous standing ovation, Kohl- man beamed, wiping away a tear of admiration. Professors are not the only group on campus awed by this erudite, accomplished, and stylish new face. Students, men and women alike, fnd him irresistible. When I saw him wearing a vest over a t-shirt I decided to just throw in the towel, sighed Frank Trummel 09, captain of the Kenyon soccer team. Ill never be that amazingly one-of-a-kind. He smells funny, explained Stephanie Calhoun 12, so you know hes thinking very hard. I just count myself lucky to be in the same year as this paragon of individuality and intellect. I think hes starting to grow a beard, too. When asked where he attained such depths of personality and the compassion to share his experiences with anyone who happens to be in the same room, Kremel avoided eye contact and mumbled in a sexually charged nasal tone, Two roads diverged in a wood, and I / I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference. Continued from FRESHMAN: Page 2 By Larry Sellers 70 April 30, 1969 CROZIER CENTERLords of Kenyon, it seems the inevitable has fnally hap- pened. We all hoped and prayed it never wouldwe asked our rich and powerful fathers to manipulate the fnancial and political sectors to prevent its occur- rencebut it seems the dreaded hippies have fnally won. Women are coming to Kenyon . . . as stu- dents. After years of academic achievement and numerous outstanding feats of mascu- linity, the weaker sex will descend upon Gambier next fall to corrupt us with their hysteria and peculiar sensitivities. I still cant believe this, said Michael Shanks 70. Kenyon College was found- ed with the expressed purpose of keeping women out. Thats why its on a hill! Shankss theory is correct. Upon consul- tation of the School Charter, frst penned by Philander Chase himself in 1824, there does indeed exist a matter-of-fact refer- ence to the bishops disdain for all things womanly: Verily, be it hereforthwith decreed in this year one thousand eight hundred and twynty-fore of our LORD Jesus Christ, no womanfolk shall be permitted to set their feete upon the grounds of yon Kenyon College lest their menstruations flle the noses of the men and drive them toward savage and Indianish behavior. Any fe- male found on campus shall be tarred and feathered with the greatest haste. The trustees, likely under the threat of their wives withholding sex, have voted to have this passage stricken from the Charter. Kenyon, once a hotspot for all things gentle- manly, will likely be reduced to a shadow of its former self with the arrival of women. Regular activities such as pipe-smoking during class and unrestricted use of the C word are expected to disappear next term. No Kenyon man has taken the news harder than everybodys favorite bachelor William 'Wild Bill Crozier `52, the unoffcial 'Dean of Men at Kenyon College. Crozier, whose home on Wiggin Street is known to students as the Crozier Center for Misogyny, has been entertaining and educating the men of Kenyon since he himself was a student here. Crozier could not be reached for com- ment, having retreated into seclusion at the announcement of the oncoming admittance of women. The Crozier Center, where the air was once flled with the smoke of Lucky Strikes, and Scotch whiskey fowed like water, is being seized by college authorities and is to be con- verted into the Crozier Center for Women. Sacrilege, I say, to any true Kenyon lord. Bill always threw the best parties, said Dick Hornblower 69. Hed bus in girls from womens colleges to come and party here. And, lemme tell you, these werent the up- tight, prudish college girls you read about these were the ones who were really up for swingin the Dickie. Wild Bill was a real swell guy, Hornblower added. Im gonna miss him. Bills bachelor pad is to be handed over to his (for good reason) unmarried cousin Doris, who is probably the last woman any Kenyon man would want to neck with. No one knows exactly what services the new Crozier Center will provide, but one can expect that swingin parties and easy women are not a top priority. The offce of College Headmaster (soon to be termed President) William G. Caples has as- sured the Kenyon student body that the Crozier Center will continue to provide prophylactics.

Page 3 By Skeeter Demiglace GUND COMMONSFandango, an annual tradition that cel- ebrates a milestone for seniors, was brought to to a screeching halt by Safety and Security last Friday. Security Offcers cited Tammy Gocial`s failure to register the party, a lack of qualifed party moni- tors, and a belligerent crowd as causes for shutting down the event. Ironically, as Dean of Students, Gocial helped craft and implement the new party policy that mandates party registration and account- ability. Security was frst alerted to the party after reports that professors were throwing up in the bushes outside Gund came streaming in. Associate Professor of English Jim Carson was found in a puddle of his own vomit, reciting Henry Fielding to the shrubs he was keeled over. We thought the scene outside was outrageous, but then we went inside and were shocked by what we saw, remarked Felipe Este- ban, a Safety offcer. Security stormed Gund Commons in riot gear and found Dean Gocial and President Nugent taking keg stands by the stage where campus jazz band The Two Timers were performing. Gocial really seemed to be getting into the swing of things, senior Starquee- sha Gerard remarked. She even tried to push a little sticky icky, if you know what Im sayin. You know that purple kush? That magic dragon, ya feel? That ganj, that straight marijuana. Gerard added: When I told her I didnt want her shwaggy weed, she called me a musty-ass jellybag. Then she started pop-locking. Dean Gocial denied all the allegations, telling Security that she was simply enjoying a hand-rolled cigarette. When asked if she regu- larly smoked cigarettes, she answered, Only when Im drunk. Gocial blamed Assistant Professor of Anthropology Sam Pack for pushing the marijuana. When confronted with Gocials allegations, Pack said, Yo, homeslice, the Native Americans used to get high off the doobie and the Native Americans are fresh. Security cuffed Pack and handed him over to a Knox County Sheriff deputy. Gocial, Nugent, and Carson were all driven home by campus safety, despite protests by Gocial. Im cool, bitches! I can drive! Watch, Im going to walk in a straight line, she said before falling into a tree and knocking out two teeth. No word yet as to whether Gocial, Nugent, and Carson will face judicial action. Gocial Fails To Register Fandango; Security Raids Rager By Luther Honeybucket and Sheridan Whiteside MANNINGIn a move that stunned the small community of Gambier on Thursday, the room of Bryan Shelangoski, Assis- tant Director of Housing and Residential Life, was raided by the Knox County SWAT team on a tip reportedly supplied by a source known only as Gilligan. The evidence was disturbing. Brian [sic] Shelangosky [sic] had been employed by [Michael Vicks 15-acre] Bad Newz Kennels in Surry County, VA, for three years prior to his Kenyon employment, read the anonymous tip. Vick, who was incarcerated in December 2007, declined to com- ment, but implied that Shelangoski had left Bad Newz due to cre- ative differences. Upon investigation, the evidence was confrmed by David B. Bar- ber, Sheriff of Knox County. Wed suspected this guy for years, Barber said. Come on. Just look at him. Unfortunately, we had nothing from which to build a charge. But when, in January of this year, Shelangoski made the mistake of handing a Community Advisor a $20 bill that was smeared with dog blood, Barber knew his old suspicions werent in vain. Indeed, the anonymous tip corroborated evidence that the recent pay hike for Community Advisors comes from dogfghting mon- ey won between 2003 and 2006. Three years later, justice has fnally been served. Shelangoski is currently recovering in the Mount Vernon Hospital with Taser burns, Mace sores, and a 12-gauge shotgun round to the chest. He is awaiting trial on multiple accounts. His dog, however, was not so lucky. We were in the process of apprehending the suspect when we were attacked by a small, hypoallergenic yapper, said Barber. It was kind of cute, he continued, chuckling at the recollection. Unfortunately, we had to neutralize the assailant. We had no idea what that thing was trained to do. Resident Josephine McCaskey 11 needed time to collect the words to express her shock. 'Dogfghting? Jesus. I just can`t be- lieve Bryan would do something like that. But at least that fucking dog is dead. That thing was more annoying than reading those res-life emails. Meanwhile, Barber can rest easy knowing that his longtime sus- pect has been subdued. As the saying goes, he said, you just can`t teach an old dogfghter new tricks. Shelangoski Linked To Michael Vick Dogfighting Ring By Sheridan Whiteside
EATON CENTER NORTHIn light of recent economic hardship, the Board of Trustees decided to hold an emergency summit in or- der to discuss the grim fnancial future of Kenyon College. The endowment has been cut nearly in half, and we have about a billion Graham Gund projects going on right nowprojects we simply cant afford, said David Knowlton 80 P12. But where to hold the meeting? The trustees wanted to choose a place that refected fnancial responsibility and a willingness to make sacrifces. The worst thing about Dubai is the heat, said Donald Hebb Jr. 64, slipping on his ski mask and preparing to race down the 25- story indoor ski slope. You would think that they could at least put up a shade in space to make things cooler around here. Weve truly fallen on hard times, Hebb said. Temperatures can reach up to 117 degrees in Dubai, but the other trustees have their own ways of cooling off. We need to rethink the way the school handles its budget, said Carla R. Ainsworth 95, reclining in a pool of champagne and shooting coy looks at her sexy waiter. The age where we can afford things like student clubs and the Horn Gallery has ended. Some, like T. John Parker 75 P05 & 09, think even more drastic measures are necessary. He was available for comment on his private, palm-shaped island. Two words: budget cuts, he continued. Here we are, living in shambles, and were allowing students to complain about the Mongolian grill? Its SPAM from here on out, you little spoiled shits, he said angrily, between mouthfuls of Beluga caviar and black truffes. You think this is easy for us? Ainsworth said, exasperated. I swear on Philanders grave, one more word about crappy shower pressure and Im going to up the lead content in the water. The trustees are expected to share the results of the summit some- time in 2010, Hebb said, although we may need more time.
