We can all agree that we have seen ghosts in Dupré Library. It is usually around finals week, and these specters are fast asleep in the deep recesses of the hallways. They’re guzzling copious amounts of coffee with looks of exhausted determination. Or eliciting eerie moans as they recite yet another round of elements of the periodic table.
