Dear student texting at the libary
"Zzz … zzz."
This sound coming from a neighboring cubicle in King Library is enough to drive us crazy! The emphasis on Quiet Study Area means exactly that, it does not mean vibrating study area. Put your phone on silent. The clatter between the wooden desktop and your cell phone is not helping any of us concentrate. Since people don't understand the meaning of "quiet study," there should probably be a designated area for students who insist on keeping their phones on vibrate while studying. Now King can have three designated areas: group study, silent study and vibrating "study".
