We all have experienced the following:

You just got out of class at the Health Sciences building and are now considering your options for a study space. Robarts? Elevators take too long and it's a pain in the ass. Pratt? Too far. Gerstein? lol. The obvious choice is Graham.

You are almost there, after the grueling walk that has left you sweaty and exhausted. You open the doors, expecting a blast of cool air to refresh you and make you ready to get your studying on; instead, you are molested by satan himself as the warmth encapsulates your body and rings the sweat out of you.

Please, lower the temperature.

The library administration has not responded yet but they cannot ignore the growing list of names on our petition. Post the link to your Facebook page and text three friends who are currently sweating at a desk in Graham. We need to keep the pressure on until they drop the thermostat.

The momentum behind this petition proves we are all tired of studying in a sauna. Send the link to your study group right now and tell your classmates to sign.

In the course of human events it becomes necessary to dissolve the bonds that bind an armpit to ones shirt, and to assume among the powers of the thermostat the separate and equal station of shirt and armpit to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle us.

It is too hot in the library, friends. This should not need to be stated: Sweat drips off my forehead and constantly ripples into the library books. I am pretty certain that at least one copy of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is actually smudged because of all the sweat that pours off of my face when I am reading there! And I know that I am not the only one, as I was reading a book. The title I cannot recall since it had been rendered unreadable with sweatstains! This is a simply OUTRAGEOUS neglect of students, hygiene, and books. To accept this cruel punishment would be to accept the status quo, to give up the opportunity to incite much needed change in this community. How can we students work effectively when we are constantly, as our friend here states, "molested by Satan himself", when we are completely DRENCHED in the filthy, hellish tears of the Devil himself when he sees us trying to cop those thick 4.0s.
