I spent a month as a security guard in a uni library, specifically to police everybody eating/drinking (water in closed bottles was allowed)/smoking. First time offense was ejection for the day; the second, for a week. The third (and yes, eating and drinking at the same time counted as two offenses) was an automatic fail for the semester (well, it was a written letter to the dean of your faculty informing them of this, and all deans had agreed to auto-fail those caught thrice).
Maybe a bit harsh, but there were very few people we had to write up a third time. And, you know, we tried to be reasonable. "handling old tomes" is different from "being at a study table with nothing on there but your own papers" (officially it wasn't) - we still wouldn't accept anything noisy or crumbly or with a possibility to stain, but still... On a table like that we'd probably give an oral warning and a "I'll be back in 10 minutes" thing. I actually did have to send someone out with a McDonalds hamburger while reading a book from before World War I, once. That guy came back and got caught with an open bottle of coke a few days later, and got his semester wasted.
Man, that was a fun time. Power! MUHAHAHAH! *cough* I mean, being able to do something about one of my biggest pet peeves.
Got a lot of Orsinium quests done, but I haven't been into Cyrodiil since before they added the Imperial City. Have you done that? Is it good?
