Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
CAMBRIDGE, England, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The student union at a British college e-mailed the school's 400 undergraduate students, asking them to be quieter during sexual encounters.
The student union at Cambridge University's Newnham College said it sent the e-mail to all undergrads Tuesday after receiving 30 complaints about late-night noises in the residence halls, the Daily Mail reported Thursday.
The e-mail, written by Newnham College Junior Common Room President Lizzy Cole, reminded students that the corridors of the dormitories corridors "funneled sound" through the "thin college walls."
Some students said they were embarrassed to learn their neighbors could hear their late-night activities.
"It's just so embarrassing to think that people have been listening in. I was blushing when I got the email," a 20-year-old student said. "You try to keep it down, but it's easy to forget the walls are so thin if you get a bit carried away."
