Halloween has come and gone, we all gained an hour of sleep when we set back the clocks over the week end and the election finally comes to an end tomorrow. A lot’s going on.

The new floor is installed in the West Basement. Given my total lack of aesthetic sense, I will trust the judgment of others, who tell me that it is very fine. The student areas on that level that are still being renovated received the same floor. Its completion is a good sign. Sorry about the mixed messages at the end of last week about the installation of the new floor, we wanted to be sure that no one was cut off from their books. I figure it is better to act fast to warn folks, then try and fix the problem. At least there is a happy ending this time.

After a week’s delay, workmen are now chaning the windows in the Main Reading Room of the law library. Double paned glass, designed to deaden the construction sound, is being installed. The workmen come between midnight and 8am to minimize the disruption in the room.

We hope for good news on bicycle parking soon. Concerns about bicycle theft have been raised. We are in touch with UC Police who tell us that indeed there currently is a rash of bicycle thefts on campus. They have just made some arrests, but they know better than to think that they have solved the problem. We will try to work with them to provide better security.
