Future Freshmen To (Com)pass On Elevators?

The Van Pelt renovations have already affected campus in grave ways, and we didn’t expect it to get any worse. Although the new floor compasses in the elevators are sure to help upperclassmen navigate the stacks, future grade-conscious and/or superstitious freshmen might want to steer clear.

Judging by the picture, there’s no safe place to stand to avoid stepping on the compass and the last time we checked, midterms aren’t getting any easier.  Is Penn ’15 screwed?  Will new freshmen be forced to combat the freshman 15 by taking the library stairs?  Can we clear out some high-rise elevator traffic by installing compasses?
