BLOOMINGTON, IN \u2013 Last Friday night, Flipside reporter Mack E. Velli spotted a particularly interesting individual named William Cavanaugh, who denied a request to take his picture.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNo thanks, I\u2019d rather not,\u201d said Cavanaugh, who was wearing a red and white Indiana University hoodie with a slight red stain on the collar and distressed khaki shorts. \u201cI strongly value my privacy, and would really rather not have my face plastered across your website.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWill really hates being the center of attention,\u201d Hannah Ripper, the last person to write on Cavanaugh\u2019s Facebook wall, told reporters. \u201cHe prefers to spend his evenings ordering Jimmy Johns to his apartment complex, the Dillon, where he typically gets a number six add onion and eats it on his own in his room. Fridays he goes to Mother Bears and splits a large pepperoni pizza with his friends and discusses their fantasy football league which he is generally losing in. It\u2019s that kind of stuff that Will really just prefers to keep private.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This desire is probably due in part to Cavanaugh\u2019s upbringing. He was born on a Nebraskan farm in 1997 on a rainy Thursday evening to Hank and Roberta Cavanaugh, who raised him on a mostly-isolated ranch that kept him from being incredibly social. As a result, Cavanaugh has led his life largely outside of the public eye, despite his interest in football and secret desire to be on the varsity team. (This is merely a dream, however, as Cavanaugh is not particularly athletic, and is only five-foot-eight.)<\/span><\/p>\n Cavanaugh\u2019s friends agreed that he has a tendency to be \u201crather reclusive\u201d and \u201cdoesn\u2019t like everyone knowing he lives in unit B apartment 209.\u201d After several days of attempted contact, Monday night he gave the following statement during a meeting after one of his classes in Geology Building room 436:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know how you knew what class I would be in, but do not contact me ever again. I\u2019ll call the cops, I\u2019m serious. Here, take this picture and get the fuck out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Sutton Lee Seymour BLOOMINGTON, IN \u2013 Last Friday night, Flipside reporter Mack E.
