Lack of Segways at Regionals?

[Ashley Weed]

I was extremely shocked when Dean was without a Seg in Rochester. I would say that it is due to his quick fly in and fly out though.

I was even more shocked by the "Dean" factor: students used to flock to Dean, no one could get near him and his posse. For those of you who attended Finger Lakes at the top entrance of the field house Friday morning everyone was crowded in patiently awaiting the doors to open. When the doors open, the people poured in through the flood gates, trying to be the first ones to the best seats. Not being the fastest person on the block, I noticed Dean standing right next to the main flow of traffic, and grabbed ahold of two of my students - and at the time, they didn't even realize who they had walked by.

All in all... is the Dean factor wearing off too? Are students lacking the awe struck if Dean, like we are noticing with the Segway?
