Chinese Laundry - CL SHOES SUEDE

Unlocked

     This is my first posting to start off my 4^th year of the college experience at Minnesota State University of Moorhead. If there’s something specific you want me to write about concerning what I’m “experiencing” then you should leave me a comment and I will most likely write a blog about such an “experience” or thought.

Unlocked

     Walking around the campus today I decided to check out the Center for the Arts building. Since today is a Saturday I knew that most lights would be off and doors closed, but since it is the Saturday after orientation week, almost every door was unlocked. I didn’t realize this until I tried opening one of these “supposedly” locked doors. That’s what I do when I’m wandering around bored. I test doors. It’s interesting being in rooms that you’ve never stepped foot in when you’re all alone. I also had a little rush of adrenaline as I walked through the pitch-blackness of the performing arts auditorium, but I was determined to walk all the way through to the other side. Why did the chicken cross the road? How should I know? I’m not a chicken. I walked all through the arts center without seeing anyone except for a man I could only guess might be a janitor. Anyone could have walked into that building. Thank goodness they lock the doors during normal weekends.

     College campuses are very open. Probably more open than people know. Of course they lock certain buildings at certain times, but what about student union buildings and library buildings. I know that anyone can walk into our library. I’ve met one such person before. The hung-over Michael Holloway hit on me in the library on the 3^rd floor next to the computer bench. That was almost a year and a half ago. I’m sure the security has really cracked down on those wandering townies since then. My sarcasm here does not lie in any resentment toward security or Michael Holloway, but in the thought that libraries are not safe. You might feel safe because there are books and quiet and knowledgeable librarians on the first floor. But go up to another floor and around behind the shelves of books. Then tell me if the library feels safe. The library is a scary place…on Saturday after dark on the 4^th floor. I’ve never been there at that time, but it sounds frightening.

     MSUM is not the only college that can be completely walked through. For example, Concordia College in Moorhead leaves their buildings unlocked as well. I know because I’ve walked through that campus a couple years ago with my good friend Alexis. And yes, we did walk up into the window overpass, through the fitness building, and some other random building. We walked straight through their campus and under the bell tower. Don’t you feel safe knowing that your kids are able to run around nilly-willy at college? With hooligans like me, wandering through neighboring college campuses, who could feel any safer?
