Editor,

As we are moving to the close of another semester, I want to mention a few things to my fellow UNM students.

First, please respect the different areas of Zimmerman Library. The west wing is a quiet zone. If you want to talk, watch movies, help another student or anything else that might make noise, do it in another part of the library. The library staff has been kind enough to post what areas of the library are quiet zones and which are “not so quiet.” Last semester during finals week, I watched at least two situations almost come to blows because some were not able to respect the rules.

Also, please stop texting or playing online poker games in class. It is not only disrespectful to the instructor, it is annoying to those around you. I guess to those doing the same it’s not, but to those of us paying attention, it is. 

Also, while I rarely use the computer pods, that is not the place to check Facebook or generally mess around. There are plenty of stand-alone computers in the hallways of the SUB and Dane Smith for that.

I guess I just hope as we move into finals soon, people can be a bit more respectful of each other. It would be nice.
