This is a college with serious educational objectives, and you can hardly turn around without bumping into a Ph.D. But we also aren't afraid to get silly.That was obvious yesterday when I was asked to stop by outside the campus library to take a photo of the cast of "Staying Alive," a mystery dinner event that's being sponsored by our campus Student Government and Phi Beta Kappa.
Several faculty and staff members have agreed to throw all self-respect away and don outlandish clothing and disreputable looking wigs to portray parodies of iconic figures from the 1970s, including Andy Warthog, Bruce Leap and John Revolting.
They also weren't too shy about getting into character for a publicity shot. It was strange enough seeing English faculty Dan Pund (as Andy Warthog) with hair, but I'm still trying to get my mind around the sight of Student Services Director Tim Keith (in back, smiling) striking the famous pose from "Saturday Night Fever."
