Some LSU students upset by plans for library Starbucks

BATON ROUGE, La. Some L-S-U students say a university library is no place for business, let alone a coffee shop.

Louisiana State University planners say it's a done deal: Starbucks will set up shop on the first floor of the Middleton Library, as well as two other sites on campus.

Graduate student Jessica Ketcham says more than a hundred students had voiced concern about the project by Friday, in respose to her e-mail campaign.

Concerned faculty also have encouraged students to e-mail protests to the chancellor and other leaders.
