The Syndicate: Let the Discussion Begin

A few weeks ago, I posted about the new "listening room" policy at the Syndicate, the pool hall/music lounge at UNT. And now, the faculty member responsible for the new policy has posted comments at the original post, and he welcomes more discussion on the topic. So let's use that post as a forum for that subject (go there, not here; I've disabled comments on this post so that everything will end up in one place). I've been told that UNT students don't have to post anonymously, but Blogger will still allow you to do that (or make up a creative alias, for that matter) if you so desire. Just keep it civil, please; I'm looking to host a well-thought-out discussion here, not a flame war.
