4 2A - Wednesday, September 16, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom MONDAY: In Other Ivory Towers TUESDAY: Off the Beaten Path THURSDAY: FRIDAY: Before You Were Here Photos of the Week Feeding our furry friends Ann Arbor han some of the friendliest squirrels around. A fact not at all hindered by the 780 studenta who have joined a club committed to feeding them. The University's Squirrel Club, founded in 2002 by stu- dents Jason Colman and Justin Hyatt, aims to feed and maintain the community's squirrel popu- lation, according to the club's president, Engineering sopho- more Peter Feng. "Jason and Justin just brought im p randomly and were justctalk- log about squirrels, and thought it would be cool to have a squir- rel feeding club," Feng said.' The club meets each Sunday at 4 p.m. outside the Hatcher Grad- uate Library, Feng said. During the meetings, members seek out and feed hungry squirrels. Peng explained the "tech- nique" of feeding squirrels that the club teaches new members. "Obtain the peanuts, and then make a clicking noise with your mouth. and then wave your arm up and down that has the peanut so that the squirrel can see it," Feng said. "Then you bend down so the squirrel can take the pea- nut from your hand." Members say they typical- ly join out of compassion for Ann Arbor's chubby furry crit- ters. Though he initially joined because his friend Feng con- vinced him to, Engineering sophomore Jake Askari said he was taken by the joy of squirrel feeding from the very first meet- ing. >" "It's fuan to do, and it gives" them food," he said. "And they like food." Feng said he thinks the Ann Arbor squirrels play an integral role in campus life, and the clubr, serves as a means of keepinghmaiendgon. "You don't really find any ,fr +El friendlier squirrels around," he said. "And we think it's healthier for them to eat peanuts than the garbage they eat." Those who hope to do more than feed squirrels will be disap- pointed, though. When asked if' the club has any goals aside from" feeding the squirrels, Feng aid "No. None at all."'
