Thrilling News<br />
The Thrill, a daily blog produced<br />
by the Collegian, spices<br />
up local cyberspace with<br />
amusing observations, offbeat<br />
reportage, <strong>Kenyon</strong>-esque<br />
lists, one-sentence editorials,<br />
and some real news. The site<br />
assessed a recent threeminute<br />
campus blackout by<br />
noting: just long enough to be<br />
promising but too short for<br />
anything interesting to really<br />
start happening.<br />
Combative Classes<br />
Math professor Judy Holdener<br />
pumped up her students in<br />
a two-hour calculus class by<br />
urging them to think of it as<br />
“calculus boot camp.” Holdener<br />
wore genuine military fatigues<br />
and combat boots for a<br />
day and encouraged the class<br />
to do the same. The few. The<br />
proud. The mathematicians.<br />
peted to make the best dessert<br />
in <strong>Kenyon</strong>’s edition of Top Chef.<br />
One group shopped for ingredients<br />
at Wal-Mart while the other<br />
shopped at the Village Market.<br />
Judging factored in taste, price,<br />
and convenience. Pudding pie<br />
made from ingredients at the<br />
market trounced chocolate chip<br />
cookies. Hooray for Jell-O pudding!<br />
Meditation<br />
The Buddhist Society, which<br />
holds meditation sessions,<br />
received club status from the<br />
Student Life Committee. The Collegian<br />
blessed the popular group<br />
as the “club that holds the largest<br />
non-alcoholic events.”<br />
Theology on Tap<br />
Top Chefs<br />
Two student teams com-<br />
Hot<br />
The Newman Club, a Catholic<br />
student organization, sponsored<br />
Theology on Tap at the<br />
Village Inn. The program is<br />
part of a widespread movement<br />
encouraging faith-related<br />
discussion in comfortable<br />
settings like bars. Next VI<br />
topic: turning water into wine?<br />
Tending Bar<br />
The Village Inn offers a bartending<br />
course for students. In<br />
addition to mixology, students<br />
learn how to deal with alcohol<br />
responsibly. A great way to<br />
“top off” a liberal arts education.<br />
Holy Pets<br />
Harcourt Parish sponsored its<br />
yearly blessing of the pets on<br />
the chapel lawn. Participants<br />
were able to donate to the<br />
Knox County Humane Society.<br />
Praise the<br />
Lord and pass<br />
the kibble.<br />
K-Bikes<br />
Bob Brown, parttime<br />
associate<br />
director of admissions,<br />
started K-Bikes, which loans<br />
bicycles free-of-charge to<br />
international students and<br />
offers a public bike-rental<br />
program through the bookstore.<br />
Brown builds his fleet<br />
by refurbishing abandoned<br />
bikes.<br />
