The unwanted visitors may feel their exaggerated stage whispers are sufficiently silent, but when hordes of undergrads mass in the lawbrary hissing gossip, it sounds like a thousand screaming demons rising from the depths of hell to our stressed-out ears.

The many cellphones, set to silent but vibrating vigorously throughout the study area, are like tiny jackhammers disrupting the smooth pavement of my concentration. If you don’t understand that turning off your ringtone doesn’t sufficiently silence your phone, I’m afraid that no amount of studying will help you sprout some common sense. m.alligator.org/opinion/columns/article_ffb2ed42-b302-11e3-92c7-001a4bcf887a.html?mode=jqm
