While students filtered through the Union on a humid Thursday afternoon, a chill ran down sophomore Greg Roy’s spine as he realized he had made significant eye contact with a club president in the main hallway of the Union.

“I knew I should have avoided that little corridor, but I thought it would be fine just this once,” Roy said. “I won’t make the same mistake again this year. It’s a goddamn gauntlet over there.”

As Roy got closer to Anne Cook, president of the Soap Carving Club, a one-sided conversation began to ensue as Cook pitched as quickly as she could.

“I had to take my earphones out and everything,” Roy said. “Just to grab a pamphlet and tell her, ‘No thanks.’ It really took the wind out of my sails.”

The interaction between the two allegedly lasted for less than 10 seconds but was said to have “felt like a lifetime.”

“I’m just going to have to be a little more vigilant the next time I’m in a 100-foot radius of the Union,” Roy said. “I feel thankful that I got my blunder out of the way early in the year. I’ll be sure it doesn’t happen again.

It was later reported that as Cook made eye contact with a freshman later in the day, she thought to herself, “Hook. Line. Sinker.”
