Eclipse Tips From Lillian Burroughs

Lillian Burroughs has asked The Consensus to pass along the following message, taking advantage of our vast readership with the knowledge that some people refuse to read her emails:

[hc-students-broadcast] Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Eclipse Safety (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE READ)

Friends:
It has come to my attention that the majority of you have IGNORED my painstakingly “crafted” Inclement Weather Warnings (IWWs), leading to a 7% uptick in completely preventable weather accidents (CPWAs). I hope, however, that the small but mighty population of intelligent students will heed my warnings (Ws):

  • Do NOT look directly at the eclipse without proper eye protection. 
  • Honestly, I’d advise against it even with eye protection. Don’t go blind now, Friends!
  • Under no circumstances should you go to Bryn Mawr College (BM College).
  • Remember, the eclipse will only be at 90% totality over Haverford College. Don’t get your hopes up!
  • Earplugs are recommended to drown out The Howling.
    • AwooooooooO!!!!!
  • Please report any unusual activity to Campus Safety immediately (610-896-1111).
  • Blood of the Lamb will be provided.
  • Hey, don’t these bullet points kinda look like little eclipses? Yes they do!
  • Give each other space, as the effects of the eclipse on the human body are not entirely known. (Also, be Covid Conscious!)
  • You need not fear the Night, but what it holds 👻.
  • If you see Wendy Raymond in The Stacks, avert your eyes and turn away slowly. Things are not as they seem.

Take a W this Monday, and good luck out there!

See you soon.
Lil
