Last Thursday’s Kite and Key booze cruise was not exactly a scene from Girls Gone Wild. Sorority girls, cash bar, beautiful views of the Boston Harbor, and yet no wet t-shirt contest. Instead, the annual Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta mixer (that’s a lot of Kappas!) and cruise around Boston harbor once again came to an early end. Last year, a Theta girl got a little too friendly with the bottle and needed medical attention. This year, it was a certain young gentleman (a Theta escort) who spewed five times. [Sigh...

So proclaims His Honor, Brian Zimmerman, 12, the mayor of Crabb, Texas (pop. 400, dripping wet).

Although the library is rightfully devoted to its books—it even has an 800-number for wet book emergencies—the library needs to eliminate one of its last barriers to becoming student-friendly. The library tries “to balance the rights and privacy of our users with the safety of our collections,” according to Brainard, yet such an ineffective search does little to justify the irksome intrusion on students. With the current attention on the libraries serving student needs, students need to let the libraries know that the unnecessary searches encroach...
