Kids: Don't Put Stripper Poles in Your Dorm Room

Of all the things you would think college administrators would have to worry about today: rising costs, shrinking budgets, stripper poles in the dorm rooms . . . wait, what? That's right: at one university, the student housing department did a quick inspection of empty dorm rooms over Spring Break and found at least one room that had a stripper pole . . . permanently bolted into the floor and ceiling. Here's more from Kent State News:

A residence hall director found a stripper pole bolted to the ceiling and floor of a dorm room over winter break. Edward Moisio Jr., fire safety coordinator at Kent State, said 99 percent of students who have illegal items in their rooms offer the typical excuse: "We didn't know we weren't allowed to have that."Residence assistants and Kent State's Fire Safety Division frequently find other, more common violations in the residence halls - stripper poles are unusual."I haven't really read the handbook," said Mark Feldman, junior political science major. He suspects that's the case among other students, too. Carrie Circosta, assistant residence hall director of Beall and McDowell Halls, confirms it. She said one of the main reasons students don't know what is and isn't illegal in the residence hall is because they don't read the handbook or just don't care.
