That Library

§quare Head, Rent-A-Cop, Cockroach, Itchy Skin… No, this isn’t a cross between Beverly Hills Cop and Freddy vs Jason. It’s a list of nicknames of some of the staff in that library. The library should always be a place that attracts students but in that library that is not the case. One begins to wonder whether people like Cockroach are getting a little too air-headed about their statuses. Good board game, wrong players.

Though that library is undoubtedly apart of the school, earrings which are allowed on campus are not allowed in that library. Females are practically not allowed to wear earrings bigger than Froot Loops Cereal. The question is why? How is a piece of metal detrimental to the proper functioning of the library? One student commented: “It’s ridiculous… they behaving like if some vortex inside the earring, you throw a book through and it reach outside.”
Last time I checked, none of the library’s stock can sufficiently hide behind a female’s earring. What then is the problem? Light may glint off of it and blind a student? They can damage books? It can disrupt that library's computer network? Surely it can’t be any of these reasons. To make it worse, a student might show their ID Card, be admitted, take her seat and begin study, only to be interrupted to be told to take out her earring. How does that help the students?

Well there’s at least one cockroach that even a good dose of Baygon can’t kill. One wonders if his aim is to assist, or to watch You Tube and build a list of enemies from the comfort of that library. Man about College has witnessed at least two occasions where students were escorted to higher authorities for issues that were stirred up for no reason at all. A master of making mountains out of mole hills, cockroach can see that you’re kicked out for rearranging plastic chairs.

After all is said and done, the library is still noisy and not close to being conducive to learning and study. Man About College says; focus on the important issues. Not the size of earrings or if a plastic chair is displaced. Respect is given when respect is received. Talking down to students unnecessarily will not help any situation… Please, we need motivation other than the fact that it’s the only place on campus with sanitary bathrooms.

Speaking of bathrooms…..
Next Issue: Is there a toilet paper shortage in the country?
