Campus police were called to the library to investigate a report of inappropriate behavior on the second floor around 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 12.

According to a report filed by Officer Gordon Nelson, library employees had discovered the door of room 207 blocked and the lights out.

Friday, Jan. 30, will mark the final opportunity for students to withdraw from 16-week classes with a refund.

OCCC Registrar Allen Stringfellow said this 10-day span from the first day of classes is ample time for students to decide to drop a course.

“In that time a student’s going to be able to see their syllabus,” he said.

“Most of the syllabus is going to determine what’s going to be expected of them. Class activities, tests and dates are going to be on that, and students can get a sense of whether there’ll be any issues,” he said.

The story begins with an aspiring musician named Jon (Domhnall Gleeson) joining an outlandish pop band led by the mysterious and eccentric vocalist Frank (Fassbender).
