This Just In: QUIET PLEASE!

Sooo... This just got printed in our inter-school updates:

"Library Quiet Policy: Please remember that the entire library is considered a quiet zone, with the exception of the second floor area next to Circulation. We are a professional community, and we expect each member of our community to be respectful of others as they study in the library. We encourage you to remind each other of the need for quiet. If one or more of your colleagues continues to be disruptive, you are welcome to contact library or public safety staff. Library staff will also be making more regular visits to all floors of the library. We hope these steps will reduce the noise level very quickly, but we will continue to follow up and make sure that quiet zones remain quiet."

This is the direct result of a 1L student who not only got in the faces of a bunch of upperclassmen because the upperclassmen were enjoying themselves (as they have for the last two years) in their normal study spaces. This kid got all aggravated that people were talking, and went and told a librarian. When the librarian intervened, one of the upperclassmen approached the 1L to apologize and explain that the same students had studied, albeit noisily, on that floor for two years, and the 1L might want to find a new place to study if it bothered him (believe me, we do not want for study spaces in this building). The 1L then proceeded to insult the upperclassmen in all sorts of ways. Other upperclassmen intervened, and the 1L went to a Dean and tattled that people had "threatened him." Yes... A gang of rebel law students had "threatened" him in the mutha-fukin law library. Okay...

Im starting to agree with my new favorite blog in describing some of these 1Ls as "douchetastic douchenozzles."
