CHICAGO – First-year student Gretchen Hargrove told classmates this week the first edition of The Feinberg Flipside looked “really funny.” Hargrove admitted she had not had time to read the publication, but it sounded like a great idea. “I barely have time to do my readings for Text & Context,” Hargrove told Rob Cortney, who sat next to Hargrove in lecture Tuesday because he was late to class. “I mean, I basically took an oath to do those readings. How am I supposed to find time to read something for recreation?”
Members of Hargrove’s Health & Society small group reported she had still not read the publication by Thursday. According to one group member, this did not stop her from continuing to talk “at length” about it. “I heard that Chris wrote an advice section or something that was totally hilarious,” Hargrove said in reference to the weekly column Gunner’s Corner. Hargrove purportedly told group members she’ll “probably try to write something for The Flipside sometime soon” and that she is “like, the biggest fan of The Onion and The Daily Show and all that stuff.”
Hargrove was seen checking reddit during plenary on Friday. According to the latest reports however, she has still not actually read the email announcing the first edition of The Feinberg Flipside or visited The Flipside’s website.
