resolve roommate issues between them. What a waste of campus cop time.

It's not like this case pulled them away from a long list of homicide investigations. Probably just kept them from driving around trying to find parties to break up or kids with open containers to bust.

If this is related to the Tufts "sexile" rules, then I understand perfectly.

Roomie 1: I'll let your girlfriend stay the night, but we have to leave the lights on.

Roomie 2: No way!

Roomie 1: Then she has to go...no nookie for you.

Etc...

Hopefully the RA will host a roommate mediation for them soon to resolve this issue. I got very lucky my freshman year at WIT because my roommate didn't care if the light was on all night. He could sleep through anything. There were many times when I was up all night doing architecture projects with the light on (WIT has no freshman studios). It didn't go so smoothly for some of my friends though. I remember hearing about many heated fights regarding the light situation. This is what happens you stick an architecture major and a CM major in the same room. =P

Bed tents.

Seriously - get a bed tent. Or make one, like my roomie and I did, her having apparently absent or haywire circadian rhythms and all. We just enclosed the beds, medieval style.
