NYU student sleeps for months in library basement
NEW YORK (AP) — A college student who says he spent eight months sleeping in a library basement because he couldn’t afford campus housing has been relocated to a free dormitory room, New York University officials said.
Sophomore Steve Stanzak, 20, said he began spending six hours a night in the sub-basement of Bobst Library at the beginning of the academic year after he was unable to pay a $1,000 housing deposit. He slept on library chairs and carried vital belongings — a laptop computer, books, clothes — in his backpack. University officials eventually discovered an online blog Stanzak kept about his experiences and relocated him to a free dorm room last Tuesday.
“I thank everyone who helps me get through the day, and makes me realize that although I’m poor and live in a library … that I’m learning a lot about life, and that I will make it through this,” he said in his blog.
Stanzak, who dubbed himself “Bobst Boy” on the Web site, says he washed in the library’s bathroom and took occasional showers at friends’ apartments and dorm rooms. Although he works four jobs and has several student loans, Stanzak said he received no financial assistance from his family and had only enough money to cover tuition, about $31,000 a year for full-time undergraduates.

Cockroaches suggested as Valentine gifts
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Looking for a little something special for your valentine? How about a hissing cockroach? That’s the suggestion from the folks at the Ross Park Zoo in Binghamton, N.Y. The zoo is running a Valentine’s Day adoption program called “Give Your Beauty a Beast.”
For ten bucks, you can adopt a hissing cockroach for your sweetheart. The adoption includes a photo, cockroach fact sheet and a free pass for your special friend to visit the little hisser. If a roach doesn’t say “I love you,” the zoo has some romantic alternatives. There’s a bearded dragon, a black vulture and a bleeding heart dove.
