Students complain about meticulous searches by new guard; call line ‘absurd’
Over the past two weeks, students looking to exit Lamont Library efficiently have encountered uncommonly long lines at odd hours of the night.
Students attributed the hold-up to a new security guard’s thorough examination of their books and belongings.
“Other security guards glance at books and let you go. It’s 1:30 in the morning, who cares?” she said.
Students have taken notice of Fasci’s arrival because of his meticulous searching, which involves asking visitors to take their laptops out and to remove books from their bookbags, so he can flip through them.
“When they have to check my musical instrument for books, it gets annoying,” said Natalie D. Bau ’09. “They already have an electronic sensor to detect books that weren’t checked out. If I were going to take the trouble to demagnetize my book, I’d also take the trouble to stick it in my coat.”
