I want to know what 29-minute song has the word "Boomer" in it repeatedly!

1) That is not "silent." 2) If I'm in the library, it's because I'm studying. Some jackholes start doing that while I'm knee-deep in Wills and Trusts, I'm grabbing a Compact OED and starting to swing.

You'd be arrested and charged with assault. And would probably have a hard time being a lawyer with a violent felony on your record.

And the party would still go on whilst you're contemplating all of this in your cell.

buncha nancy's in this thread.

the first floor of the brary is the "social" floor anyway. and if it's really that bothersome to you, get up and move. and it lasted like 15 or 20 minutes. big deal.

I never studied in Bizzell, only napped and looked for stuff to study in the confines of my quite apartment. To many distractions staying on campus to study. I don't care that they made a the library a rave, just seems the "flash mob" idea is no longer funny and just stupid to me. Maybe just because I've seen it done about three times in the past week.

Back in my day we did stuff like that, only it lasted a ****load of a lot longer than 30 minutes, we didn't do it in the library and we drank. I don't have a problem with the party, but if this passes for cool now, college must really suck.

I'll tell you what's really fun.....



Congregating outside your dorm on a warm spring night, just waitin' for the streakers to flop by.

Good times.
:D

Never saw one streaker in my time at OU...probably more of a 70's thing.

I was there in the Mid 90's. There was definitely streaking.

Great name Mr. Fletcher,

It's a University library..if you are still studying after finals have concluded, then you only have yourself to blame.

I studied a lot in the Great Reading Room...it would have been quiet there I would imagine.

We didn't get full details, but I am not so sure it was a flash mob event...campus police were present, so it sounds sanctioned to me.

Also by reading the last line of the article, it looks like this will continue to happen each semester.

i was too busy studying Wednesday night to even hear about this, apparently


i did see some status updates from library employees that weren't too thrilled about it though

What, OU Law doesn't have its own library?

Haven't been in Norman in quite a few years, but didn't OU annex the old Hollywood theater as the Law Library?

Dunno. When they were recruiting me to come to OU Law they mentioned they'd expanded the school since I was an undergrad, but I never did come down to check it out.

Are you talking about the one on McGee right south of Lindsey? I'm pretty sure it's a library, but not the OU law library. I think the law library is at the law school south of Imhoff.

They do, and it's a really nice one. But the hours really blow, even during finals. It was my biggest complaint about OU Law, especially since there's card-key entry to the building after 6 p.m. Bizzell's hours were a lot better, but you had to put up with Mickey Mouse stuff like that there.

Oh, and it's a joke, man. Jeez. Everyone here's so serious.

Why are you in Bizzell if you're in law school?

That was while the new library was being built. The law library is "in" the law school now.

So you'd rather drive to main campus, find a place to park, and then study with all the undergrads? :confused:
