George Brahler, Lawrence junior, focuses on his trumpet practice on the fifth floor of Murphy Hall Monday afternoon. Monday's practice rooms were crowded. Brahler said he could not find any other room except a small piano room with the dim light. He used a piano score stand instead of a regular score stand that he usually used. "Finding rooms is everything indeed," he said.

Profane language may be prohibited in China
SHANGHAI, China — Watch your language. This is Shanghai.
China's financial center is considering a law against using swear words in public, according to reports Monday, a sign of just how far the city has come from its famously profane 19th century dockside origins.
Newspapers and a government spokesman said the ban could be included in a law targeting spitting, littering, smoking, jawwalking and other behavior deemed disruptive or anti-social.
In recent years, Shanghai has sought to shake a reputation for rude behavior among residents.
