Quiet, relaxing study spots on campus are at a premium, especially if dampness makes grassy study places squishy, or roommates listen to the sounds of an industrial takeover in your dorm room. Some students find respite by studying in the library. Library cubicles full of scrap paper, candy wrappers and empty pop cans make studying unpalatable. Who cleans up the messes? Not the people who made the miniature land fill. Library employee Heidi Long often cleans cubicles after study groups evacuate. She said the counters get slimy from everyone's hands. The computers get slimed, too. Students do not confine their littering to study cubicles. Custodians find clogged toilets, overflowing trash cans, trash and puddles in the bathroom. Some messes require cleaning supplies. Students need to control their urges toward sloppiness. Students are adults. Their mom-mies and daddies no longer need to clean for them. Multnomah students, as Christians, need to take care of what God gave them and consider others' needs and desires. Students need to be responsible enough to respect the library building as well as their fellow Multnomah students.
