Well this seems a bit ironic...
At today's VSA meeting, Brian Farkas '10, VP for Operations, announced that starting this Friday, October 2nd, the Faculty Commons will become a 24-hour student study space. Students will have V-Card access anytime they want.
Well that's convenient. Especially for us Mainers who just need a quiet place to study. I realize that this is an effort to make up for the spotty library hours (although for the most part those are returning to regular hours next week), but in all seriousness what person from Cushing or Joss is going to walk all the way to the college center just to prop open a book?
I could see this working if this was extended to every dorm on campus, but I have a feeling that those who use the space will be predominantly from Main.
Thoughts?
spire ;P

VSA Talks About Points
And not meal points, folks.
As you may know, Sunday night means VSA meeting night, and one of the most interesting things that arose from it was the introduction of a draft (read: not final) version of a Security proposal that suggests the college move towards instituting a disciplinary points system.
If this proposal were to be adopted by the college, a student found responsible for an infraction of college regulations would be assigned a number of points relative to the severity of the infraction. Get 6 points, and you are put on probation and referred to the dean of the college; 10 and you are "temporarily separated" from the college.
One of the things VSA council debated was whether or not this should pertain to strictly alcohol- and drug-related infractions, though upon taking an informal vote, the council supports working towards a disciplinary point system 19 to 5.
What do YOU think?
