Thank you Bill for keeping an eye out for me. Now I know to avoid strolling through the Presidio at night. It's not the homeless I'm worried about, its the marauding packs of secular progressives.
Since when is tolerating the homeless a secular value? WWJD?
I'd stay out of the Presidio at night, too. Coyotes...
I love San Francisco just as much as the next guy but it is hard to argue that its not filled with Degenerate Homeless Drug Addicts. Have you ever been to San Francisco. I have to agree with Papa Bear on this one.
7:38, I know this is berkeley, but we don't ALL read Huff. I thought it was relevant to the blog, since it concerns our home and its clearly irredeemable state.
From Papa Bear's perspective, what is the difference between a degenerate homeless drug addict and a regular drug addict?
11:01: Rush Limbaugh.
Presidio at night? Way dangerous. And the dark underbelly of Pacific Heights, watch out. Idiotic. This guy Watters admitted he had never been there before, and we're taking his view of the city?
Berkeley would be filled with degenerate homeless drug addicts too, if Code Pink weren't taking up so much space.
Don't forget about the Nihilists.
I kind of like degenerate homeless drug addicts.
I just hate when they smell like rancid milk combined with poo. See, e.g., the Civic Center BART station.
The trick with pundits like Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, or Kieth Olberman is to completely ignore them.
This strategy has worked well for me in the past with the loud jesus people you see at college campuses or out front of large events.
Boris' comment makes me think of that Simpson's Tree House of Horror episode when all the advertisements come to life and they have to stop looking to stop them.
"To stop those monsters 1-2-3,
Here's a fresh new way that's trouble-free,
It's got Paul Anka's guarantee...
Lisa: Guarantee void in Tennessee.
All: Just don't look! Just don't look!
Just don't look! Just don't look!
Just don't look! Just don't look!"
Speaking of degenerate homeless, is anyone planning on doing anything about the homeless people wandering through the school, skeezing beer at events? We don't have money for lockers, but we do have money to get hobos drunk. Awesome.
Dean Prosser & Co. are indispensable pillars of the Boalt community.
One of my favorite moments this fall was watching various street people truck through the courtyard during the ground breaking ceremony, sporting their free t-shirts, hors d'oeuvres, and indignant looks. It's very much part of the scene here and I think it is charming in its own Boalt way. I would be disappointed if someone was "planning on doing something about it."
Just don't leave your backpack unattended in the donor lobby.
It also may be worth pointing out that it's best not to jump to the "hobo" conclusion right off -- some of those skeezers are 3L's.
Not to mention that I fully support the skeezing, given that I just dropped off two one-third-full kegs at the liquor store. If y'all had drank some and we had run out, maybe we could make something of it. Otherwise, I thank the homeless (and 3Ls - homeless or not) for lightening the load.
10:43, I can barely type this because I'm still laughing so hard. Whoever you are, thanks for that.
What in the world could be possibly "do" about not letting random people drink our beer? "Excuse me, sir, you don't look like a law student, give me that cup. . . What about THAT guy you say? Well I don't know that guy, but he looks law studentish. Believe me, I KNOW this seems petty an arbitrary, but we can't remain a top 10 law school with you loitering around in our courtyard."
1Ls: I can't believe you didn't finish those kegs yesterday. It pains me greatly, cuts to the core of me. Back in the day when I was a 1L we drank and drank and drank. . . . *mumbles about the good old days for a minute . . . slowly drifts off to sleep in the library. . . snores loudly, slightly drooling on a worn Eastern Michigan sweatshirt*.
Ha.
But seriously, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea that we should have some student ID card swipe access to the building after renovations are done. At least to some areas such as the student lounge / journal area (if it is ever completed) or the library.
Even my undergrad had a 24-hour reading room that required card swipe access.
UCB is a public school, and the law library is a public library. That's why access restrictions occur only after business hours, and that's why requiring a swipe card for general access wouldn't work.
No, Patrick, there would be nothing wrong with a "law student only" section that was open 24 hours and required card key access. Nobody's trying to cut off the circulations desk during regular hours.
And remember: circulations moves to the south addition in 3 years. The reading rooms will be completely separate from what most of the public would need access to.
And library access has nothing to do with why we can't cut off the basement / student center either. If the library moves to the new south addition, allow public access to that building and restrict access to the others. Seems simple to me.
