Students\u00a0who were studying were disturbed by men displaying their genitals and\u00a0masturbating, only inches away but on the exterior side of the glass.\u00a0There were usually delays in making reports of this behavior to campus\u00a0police and security, since mobile phones did not yet exist.\u00a0Complainants had to walk upstairs to use a Library phone to call about\u00a0the problem, giving the suspect ample time to leave the area. Quite\u00a0often when there were sufficient personnel on duty, surveillance the\u00a0Rock exterior would be done, but arrests were few and far between. Finally, a creative solution was enacted. The glass in these windows\u00a0was replaced. Students inside could see out, but those outside could\u00a0no longer see people studying inside, so the primary &#8220;thrill&#8221; for the\u00a0exhibitionists was removed. Students could still see the &#8220;flashers&#8221;\u00a0and had sufficient time to make a report, so arrests grew in number\u00a0until the problems became very rare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above quote is from\u00a0Glenn Normile\u00a0(Class of 1972).
