...recently hired Allied-Barton employee with a bold new vision for library security. Before Fasci, leaving Lamont meant passing bags and books through a perfunctory once-over. Things have changed. For James Fasci, bag-checking is an art. He methodically inspects every compartment of every bag to ensure nothing slips past.

...peers had the time to come to my party, I would have spent the evening engaged in meaningful conversation. Instead, I chugged boxed wine in the back of the room and wondered how he fits into such tight pants on a daily basis. It is equally hard to slip into and zip up the fly of the idea that large, overcrowded events should be the focus of student social life. Why congregate in I-22 when there are perfectly good public house spaces available for socializing? Who doesn’t want to spend their weekends downing forties...
