Room Checks

So, Doane has once again managed to be a...jerk, let's just say. Recently, there has been a bug problem in Frees due to a room having a cockroach-infested bean bag chair. Becuase of this, Frees needs to be sprayed for said bugs, which is quite understandable. ResLife sent out an e-mail saying,

" On Monday starting at 10am, Residence Life will be going through every room in Frees Hall to ensure that the room meets the following standards:

• The floor is swept
• All trash is removed
• No food is left out that will attract bugs

If a room is found that does not meet these standards, then that room will be cleaned to meet these standards and a cleaning fee of 100.00 dollars minimum will be assessed to the room. Additionally the college will move forward with a Residential Living Standards violation."

When they actually went through the rooms (if a resident was in the room, they only glanced around for a couple of senconds and then left), they found 35 rooms in Frees "not to be up to standard," which, pardon my language, is bullshit. I have seen many of the rooms that's 'weren't clean enough' and they were cleaner than other rooms that didn't get cited.

Basically, Doane/housing needs to get its act together and start making sense (HA, like that's going to happen). By the way, nobody has been fined the $100; it was just a scare-tactic used by Kevin Bollinger and the rest of ResLife. Good for them.

Does anybody else have a problem with this situation? Either way, leave a comment and let me know!
