If people have always wondered how strange some campus organizations may seem, have I got a story for them.
The University of Minnesota has such a unqiue organization.
50,000 people walk back and forth across the Minnesota campus, and that requires a specific group of people in order to observe and monitor every last one.
They're called the Campus People Wacthers, if you are even interested in witnessing the idiosyncrassies of the human race. This is the perfect group for people who are quite interested in observance, or just really, really, really, really bored.
The University of Minnesota's Web site calls the Campus People watchers a "non-creepy organizations for those who are into the social, psychological, and analytical aspects of people watching".
The Web site also makes the good point that everybody people watches, why not join an organization that has planned activities for such activities? Hard to argue with that logic.
They say those who are interested in experiencing group psychology, writing critiques, and delving into the culture of the University of Minnesota should look into this organization.
Try to guess the group's principal activity. Go on, I'll wait.
The Web site also states that the Campus People watchers benefit the University community by helping students experience everything that the University of Minnesota has to offer.
For University of Minnesota students who are interested in becoming a People Watcher, they can contact David Shaffer at shaff081@umn.edu for more information.
What wonders shall we create next?
