Cool Move

Nobody has a good word for Lamont, especially during Spring Reading Period. Credit must be given where it is due however, and it must be noted that, in accordance with janitorial policy, air conditioning has been increased fifty per cent over the term-time norm. Despite the influx of last-minute grinds and unsavory types from outside the College, there have been no cases of suffocation, fainting or heat exhaustion thus far this season.

But exam period has not yet begun and the library is already full. If the warm weather of last week returns, Lamont may be one of the few cool places left in the College. To stem the flood of refugees from the heat, Lamont might well check bursar's cards or, better still, install parking meters on the study cubicles. These measures would keep out outsiders, discourage nonscholars, and bring in even more money than library fines. Let the unwanted beat a path to Widener.
