More Than Reading in the Stacks?

(The following was taken from parts of an interview between Jonathan Rewe and Kathy Lewis in 1993)

JR: … I was sitting in class yesterday when I heard another guy talking about what his friend had done last night. I couldn’t believe this guy was talking so loud!

KL: {Curious smile across her face} What did he say?

JR: This guy said his friend had bragged about having sex with his girlfriend in the library. {smiling}

KL: Where did it happen in the library?

JR: I can’t believe this guy was boasting so loudly. He said this guy and his girlfriend went up to the 9th floor since hardly anyone ever goes up that high, and it just happened. I guess they weren’t planning on it, but it seems like they did. Seriously though, who walks into the stacks thinking, “This would be a perfect spot.”

KL: {Astonished} How did he get away with that?

JR: I don’t know, apparently they were sneaky. They checked out the floor first and then had sex. They didn’t do it to be romantic, but obviously because it was something to brag about.

KL: What else did he say?

JR: He didn’t get into details, just talked about some of the things his buddy had told him. I guess they just wanted to be able to say they did it, and to prove that it wasn’t just some urban legend. I don’t know how many kids do it; they’ve got to be incredibly sneaky to pull that deal off without a hitch.

KL: {Laughing} Well, it apparently actually happens on campus! {Suddenly startled} I wonder if any of my friends have!
