Kissing has always been an interesting and somewhat taboo
topic of conversation. The person involved, the location, the technique, and the length of the kiss makes making out an even more
intriguing subject. William Cane, the.author of How to Kiss and
The Art of Kissing Book of Questions and Answers, delved further into this topic through his Art of Kissing lecture that took
place Wednesday in Elizabeth Hall through live demonstration
complete with pictures. The participants who acted out the various
kisses and techniques were six couples from Stetson, among them
including Emilie Pitts, Nick Kenyan, and Arthur Marques. Cane
had the volunteers demonstrate kisses such as the Upside Down
Vacuum Kiss, the Sliding Kiss, and the Music Kiss. Props and a bit
of role playing was intertwined with the presentation that brought
howls of laughter and dropped jaws from the audience members.
One "kissing fantasy" that consisted of role playing included the
men dressing as dentists and kissing the women upside down, who
then tackled the men to the floor and mounted them, still kissing.
The men also acted as professors and kissed the women "student"
while assisting with an assignment. Students thoroughly enjoyed
this presentation. "I thought it was informative, hysterical, and entertaining," states a sophomore physiology major. Jessica Bianco,
a sophomore music major agrees. "I thought it was fun. I'm pretty
sure everyone went home and kissed after."
This may sound like a raunchy sex-driven performance, but
do not be misled - in his pictures, Cane provided statistics and
graphs. For instance, Cane stated that women like ear kisses twice
as much as men, and provided a pie chart stating the percentages
of whether or not men like the taste of lipstick. He also showed
a bar graph showing which type of kisses men and women like
more. Along with the visuals, Cane read quotes from his book and
asked the audience what type of kissing they preferred. Cane has
written four books on this topic and has written for newspapers
and magazines including Seventeen and Woman's Day. He also
attended Boston College Law School and in 1986, briefly practiced law. He has a Master of Arts degree in English from Boston
University.

VP: No
Printing
Fees in
Sight
by Maria Wrabel
It's Monday morning. You have spent the
entire weekend working on an eight-page
paper. The only thing left to do is print it
out. You run to the library just before your
class, log onto the computer, and a random
window pops up in the left-hand corner
of your screen. It reads "Balance>'$0.00."
Panic flashes through your mind - are you
going to have to pay to print out these eight
pages?
The answer is no. That box, called "Paper
Cut," is a "software program [installed by
IT) that monitors paper usage in the labs
and smart classrooms on campus," said
a message sent to students on August 31.
Many students have mistaken this box to
mean that Stetson will be charging students for printing. This, however, is just a
rumor. Stetson is not planning on charging
students for printing any time in the near
future.
Bill Penney, Associate Vice President for
Information Technology, clarified the situation. "We're just collecting data this semester. We want to see how much paper
the average student uses."
Penney elaborated on the history behind
the idea of the program. Ten years ago,
Stetson addressed the issues of rising paper costs. They added to the technology
fee, which pays for paper, the computers,
people to run theTabs, and wireless Internet
in the buildings and dorms, Penney said.
Now, Stetson faces a similar situation, and
consequently implemented the Paper Cut
program to perform research so they can
take appropriate action steps in the future —
the relatively far off future, that is.
"It will take approximately three or four
semesters to do this research. As of right
now, we have no intention of charging for
printing even when the research is done,"
Penney said. If they did implement anything, it would likely be a rather high limit
on the amount of paper students could use
with no charge.
As students know, neither the library nor
