A couple of creative students in the newly renovated Taylor Student Lounge in Seymour Union said they got bored with playing pool the regular way, so they made up a new game. You can hold the cue any way except the normal way. Try putting it through your belt loop. Coincidentally, the same student, but a different photographer, as the photo immediately below.

Tim Schmeling loves hats. Below, Tim holds his fur hat as he prepares to lead prospective students and families on a campus tour during the Winter Open House one year ago. Last month, he brought a spirit of spring to the holiday lunch (scroll down in December KnoxPix). And last week, we caught up with him on a snowy sidewalk outside Old Main. Photo by Peter Bailley.
Inside that snow cloud is a John Deere tractor with rotating brush, and inside the tractor is grounds specialist Andy Pittman, clearing the sidewalk outside Old Main for students and staff on Thursday morning. Photo by Peter Bailley.
Spanish professor Claudia Fernandez has an office in The Jail -- a historic former county jail that was built in 1876. Her office is one of the rooms that's taller than it is wide. Getting boxes onto the top shelf required one foot on the window sill, the other on the file cabinet. Photo by Peter Bailley.
Students in a fall term course in Greek, taught by classics faculty member Ryan Fowler, examined several ancient and rare books and manuscripts in Special Collections at Knox College's Seymour Library. Here a student looks through an edition of Euclid's Elements, an ancient Greek book on geometry. This volume was printed in 1570 and is noted for its use of three-dimensional "pop-up" models of geometric solids, glued directly onto several pages. Photo by Peter Bailley.
