63 CommentsThe crusaders against camping seek justice! Determined to displace the denizens, they dole out notices of “relocation.” What a euphemism! Mr. Red pen knows what’s really going down: eviction. Beware, your drink and dignity will be discarded.

@bloop Well, it would seem that the library has already taken some responsibility for patrons’ stuff….since they took it upon themselves to move them.
@Seriously?? “How would Butler like it if we relocated all THEIR unattended books and computers?”
Really? That’s Columbia student logic?
Are you referring to the \unattended books and computers\ that are put in their proper place for the sole benefit of other people–people such as yourself, for example? How on earth is that the same as someone spreading out their personal property over a public space and then leaving it all there so that no one else can use that space?
I would really love that explanation from someone.
@save bill gates' money do you know it did not happen?
h may be better off – off campus – sorry, ms de carla, this one’s difficult
anyway, trust must be earned, and when, most often, deservedly so.
@what the *uc* are you ON dude?
@save bill gates' money What, Crime and Punishment was better?
@save bill gates' money The best book I ever read was Dante’s Inferno.
@Anonymous you mean the best game you’ve ever played was Dante’s Inferno.
@save bill gates' money no, i read the book, not played a game.
still pick up chapters now and then. sophochles too.
@Damn They WANT us to fail, don’t they?
@I just thought of something.... If you come back to your spot after leaving (to take care of business, get food, etc) and see someone taking your laptops and books, wouldn’t it be pretty awkward?
I know if I were the one coming back to see someone taking my stuff, the first thing I’d be thinking is Butler thief…
@Yeah, now if a thief is intercepted in the act by a security guard, he can quite comfortably say that he’s enforcing the official library policy and be left alone.
@Yea seriousla you guys I am like 10 laptops richer right now. Thank you Relocation Act 2010.

@daddy does boob jobs he may be safer where he’s at (sorry to end a sentence in a preposition)
@linguist i love you for caring about grammar
@Linguist-ier http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22language+log%22+preposition+stranding You should probably read up.
@linguist I didn’t say they were correct, just that I was pleased they cared about grammar. Nor do I care if they’re grammatically correct, I’m a functional linguist after all.
@save bill gates' money ms. decarla, is that you?
freshman comp
@linguist nope, sorry :) just a random linguistics major.
@save bill gates' money Fine, she tought me much, about writing, and people notice.
Importance matters.
@linguist …what?
@I thought daddy dave david was coming to New York to be with his son?? He didn’t say he was going to bail him out though. I just don’t know who to trust anymore!!!!
@ok seriously this is getting rediculous. We have to do something to get Harrison out of Jail now that his family wont. that is fucked up.
@penis hunter looking for a penis to wiggle around in my vajayjay

another post profiled his lawyer (who paid for that?)
better to get it over with
@Hey , Can someone comment on the availability of seats at Butler right now? (Saturday Evening). Debating whether it is worth it to head over. Also, are any other lirbaries open right now?
@you are a lazy fuck
@um try this laundryview.com
@If Butler Charged Rent it would be too damn high.
@Anonymous Does someone know the official policy? This seems impossible to enforce correctly.
@God dammit. Butler just closed, except for the 24-hour spots. Of course, those spots have all been taken since noon today.
Closing at 6pm on Saturday the week before finals? For a school that prides itself on academic excellence, this is bullshit.
@I can't imagine where you're sitting... Butler closes?
@Ahem http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/services/hours/index.html?library=lehmanst
@noooo Don’t tell anyone about Lehman study rooms!!
@NOO Don’t go to Lehman. It’s ugly. All your cool friends won’t be there to commiserate with. It’s not worth it. There’s not even wood paneling!
Just stay in Butler and leave me alone.
@hey does anyone have a tampon i could borrow? i’ve got a pretty heavy flow right now…
@BALCONY HUNTER Are you at a balcony?
Perhaps we can arrange a trade.
@Based God got flows so heavy you can call me breached levee
@non sequitur hide your kids and hide your wife cuz they rapin everybody out here.
@wait so, is there some time limit? If I leave a crowded room in the library for ten minutes to get a notebook, will I return to find I’ve been “relocated,” while in a lesser-used study room I’d be able to leave for six hours without being “caught?” How exactly is this enforced/measured?
This may be a bad idea.
@BALCONY HUNTER If you can afford to go pee, you don’t want it bad enough.
I’m coming for you next, punk-ass.
@simple it’s the way all vigilante justice systems work. however the vigilantes happen to feel at that moment in time, that’s the standard they’ll judge you by. i, for one, can’t wait until we’ve started our own little french revolution in butler!
@ya srsly Since this policy is meant to reduce camping, not bathroom breaks, this should be a notice that someone saw your stuff unattended and is GOING to move it – say in 10 minutes – rather than an unforgiving “Notice of Relocation.”
That way you can also address the phenomenon of one person saving every spot at a table for their friends while they grab dinner / sleep at night because then their friends have no excuse if they don’t return during the short window of time (and the spot-saver can’t be passive aggressively angry at you).
@wow They’re creepin on yo spot
they’re snatchin yo things all up
so you’d better
hide your books, hide your macs
hide your boooks hide your macs
and hide your altoids/sweetarts too
@really these jokes will never not be funny to me
@Anonymous These jokes will never be funny to me.
@send e-mail to bill gates he should not be wasting his money
@mumtaz bahaha
@hey good song hahahahhaha niceeee!
@Anonymous How would Butler like it if we relocated all THEIR unattended books and computers?
@I don't really get why Butler is such a popular place to study. Most of the students who “study” there are almost always on facebook, fuck around in 209 and have loud conversations, and are freshmen. If you’re gonna leave your shit unattended for more than two hours, you might as well just call it a day and go home, other people could use your space to actually study.
Just when you’re about to give a thumbs down, think harder and thumbs up instead.
@Anonymous obvious troll
@I hate anyone who uses the word troll.
@Anonymous or barnard girls
@hey good song I dont understand why ppl always need to bash each other’s schools it really is not that serious. Grow the fuck up!
@What's Next? Are they going to employ procrastination police who troll around and kick people out for not being productive? This is turning into tyranny!
@Anonymous it’s not which library that counts.
it’s how you use it.
@analum Now they fuck around in 209? Boy, some audacity they have these days.
@hey good song Man I LOVEEE This comment! Made my day! There should be a love button for this!
