...it’s less of a library. Last October, Lamont began keeping its doors open 24 hours a day, five days a week. UC politicos celebrated Lamont’s 24/5 premiere by throwing a Finale and Felipe’s catered powwow in the library foyer. The fête turned into a mob scene as students trampled each other to snatch up lukewarm burritos and chocolate chip cookies. Even HUPD made an appearance to calm the masses. Clusters of tourists snapped on in amazement. Eventually, everyone returned to their carrels and resumed studying. As a result of Lamont...
...editors: Reasonable people can differ about whether the so-called “foyer of Sanders Theater” truly has “lackluster ambience,” as stated in a recent Crimson article (“Is the New Fly-by Taking Off?” news, October 4, 2006).

...place of revelry more than a place of study. The signs were apparent from the beginning. As the clock struck midnight on October 18, 1,500 undergraduates congregated in euphoric glee to celebrate Lamont’s extended hours. A chorus of cheers filled the cramped foyer as burritos flew through the air and starved, studious students leaped for the free Felipe’s. “Party in Lamont,” as the Undergraduate Council labeled the event, was designed as a once-in-a-lifetime event: a suspension of the library’s normally staid...
