So, you've all enrolled. You now have nothing to do. Since we're not trying to get you to enroll any more, neither do we. But you know who really has nothing to do, because he isn't an admissions counselor any more? Austin Bean. So we've given him a camera and he will once again photograph Scav Hunt for us, which started last night at midnight.
I think the most time-consuming and difficult thing to do is be a University of Chicago undergraduate. The second most is to be an admissions counselor at any school. The third most is to be a graduate student, and that's what Austin is. Therefore he has enough time to do this.
Austin Bean made some great posts on Scav Hunt last year, all of which you can read here in chronological order (like we said, you have nothing else to do):
- Countdown to ScavHunt
- Scav Hunt - Thursday Morning 8:30 - 9:00 a.m.
- Scav Hunt 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
- Inside the ScavenHQ: Snell-Hitchcock
- Item 320: The Masque of Youth

- ScavUpdate - Monday
- Chronological ScavHunt Recap
- Saturday AM: Boat "Race"
- Saturday PM: The Scav Olympics!

And finally... here is the Scav Hunt website! And the list for this year, available as a PDF! By linking to this list the University of Chicago admissions office does not endorse or condone any items or the language used to describe the items on this list.
But if you really want to laugh, you should read this puff piece on me and this blog. Not a shining example of journalism... and not all correct. It was Austin who played ding-dong ditch on President Zimmer. And I'm not just saying that because he doesn't work here any more. But I am proud that it is currently the most popular article, just before "U of C acceptance rate hits record low."
