It’s not just supervisors that want to keep students in the library this exam term: police are trying to confine you to a land of study and reading too! Last night’s election debate, which featured the leaders of most political parties sans Theresa May (who was replaced by the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd) and Nicola Sturgeon (replaced by Angus Robertson), attracted a high police presence.

Senate House was blocked off from all who weren’t Gonville and Caius students, and bins were taped up as a security measure. A part of keeping Cambridge, and the party representatives safe, involved herding Caius students to where they really should have been in the first place (Ed: really?): the library.

You might be speculating this is a new measure from the college to ensure that exam term concentration isn’t hindered by something so insignificant such as politics and the future of the country, but in fact it was a security measure. While students were reminded of their impending exams through library confinement, the politicians escaped out of the back of King’s at the end of the debate.

The police were successful in helping the event go out without a hitch or security breach, despite an anti-May protest early on in the day, a spontaneous pro-EU protest and crowds gathering in excitement to catch a glimpse of the politicians. However, it is still uncertain if police have been successful in getting students to actually revise, a much harder task
