Regex Crossword

I unfortunately ran out of diagramless crosswords. However, I have come across Regex Crosswords which I've been having fun doing. The rules are quite simple. The Regexes denote what letters are allowed in each row or column. If you don't know what Regexes are, there is a good wikipedia article, or better yet ask your friendly neighborhood CS Major.

Once the entire crossword is filled out, rhe letters row or column must match with the Regex for that row or column.

Report of the Office of the Provost Library Task Force The Provost Papers - Leaked by [NAME REDACTED] This portion of the study treats Caltech policy in the library in its current state. It is divided into three essays answering three major questions: SECTION A - What activities does the Library engage in that could jeopardize its operation? SECTION B - Why does Caltech still not have a chief librarian? SECTION C - How did Millikan Library get seized by the growing Caltech bureaucracy?

I. A. What activities does the Library engage in that could jeopardize its operation?

SUMMARY Significant misunderstanding has arisen regarding library activities among both faculty, staff and students inside Caltech. A number of individuals have held that supporting research and education on campus governs current library policy. For example, some staff member has written that “The Caltech Library is committed to serving the teaching, research, and academic needs of its students, faculty, and staff” by providing “a safe space for its community to study or work”. Another member of the library stated that “The Caltech Library is committed to offering shared spaces conducive to intellectual pursuit” and argues that Library is an area which provides unparalleled comfy chairs conveniently in the basement. Neither interpretation fits fully with the record; the Library is less concerned about academic pursuits than being a place to store Caltech’s assets when room runs out elsewhere on campus. Despite being an excellent educational institution, it is commonly known that Caltech also doubles as the largest gray-market dealer in Southern California. Caltech has continuously accumulated books, records, and 8-track tapes since its founding. These assets were bought by Caltech as a store of value for its endowment and for dealing to unscrupulous individuals and agencies. Just recently, the Bechtel residence was paid for by selling hundreds of thousands of books to Martin Shkreli and thousands of student records to the NSA. The most telling action of the Library as a gray-market storage facility is its usage of USPS flat bins as general use containers. Just last week, the library used them as umbrella storage instruments. Directly printed on the side of USPS flat tubs is the phase “Not for Pri- vate Use”. The USPS claims that each flat tub costs them $5 to buy and requests that everyone returns them to the post office. However, the high cost and general usefulness of these flat bins makes them a prime target for Caltech to sell to other dealers in Southern California. There have been reports that there exist tens of thousands of USPS flat tubs on the 4th floor of Sherman Fairchild Library ready to be sold to the highest bidder.
