Newnham girls are "slutty"

In my limited experience, not slutty enough but that is a whole other story!

The Telegraph reports that:

"Lizzy Cole, the college’s undergraduate president, sent the email to all 400 residents after the student union received 30 complaints about noise in the student halls.

“I’d just like to politely remind everyone that Newnham corridors funnel sound and walls are very thin in some buildings,” it read. “Therefore, please remember to be discrete (sic) in your activities, especially during late/early hours of the day.”

Some girls said they had been horrified to think that fellow students may have heard them with their boyfriends. One Newnham undergraduate, 20, said: “It’s just so embarrassing to think that people have been listening in. I was blushing when I got the email. You try to keep it down, but it’s easy to forget the walls are so thin if you get a bit carried away.

“This sort of thing must happen at every university in the country. Only in Cambridge would your fellow students complain. They’ll be handing out ear plugs next.” "

More shocking to me is that confusion of discrete with discreet; the former meaning to be separate, the later meaning to be careful or cautious so as not to be too obvious. Standards have dropped since my days, seemingly in more ways than one...
