The campus is dirty. Everywhere I walk there is guaranteed to be trash on the ground. This has got to stop. The garbage doesn’t just magically appear on university grounds. Also, it’s 2013, how about we learn to throw our cigarette butts in the trash while we are at it too?
Every now and then there is a guy driving around on a golf cart with a spear, stabbing trash as he drives or using an extendable claw to retrieve it, but his spear fishing skills alone are not enough to clean this campus up.
MSU needs to be clean so events like the Mustang Rally leave an excellent impression on future students. Visual appeal can make or break a decision.
We have an amazing campus that does not deserve to be tarnished by parking lots filled with McDonald’s bags and Taco Bell cups.
Most people see a piece of garbage on the ground and walk past it like it doesn’t exist. I understand germs are bad, but there are places to wash your hands after picking it up.
I am not too sure of any organizations that do anything to help keep MSU clean other than the facilities management.
The men of Kappa Alpha have adopted a highway to clean as part of their philanthropy.
“We are trying to show the community that Greek life is different than the stereotypes that have been placed,” Jesse Brown, president of KA said.
They go out twice a semester for about four hours and clean up the highway.
Four hours of cleaning up the campus with man power like that would go a long way.
“I hope more fraternities and sororities go out and adopt highways or other places they can help clean up so the Greek community can benefit,” Brown said.
I couldn’t agree more. Not just singling out Greek life, other MSU organizations could take part in a campus cleanup as well.
It is hard to live up to the slogan “It’s my university, make it yours,” when we can’t even take care of our campus. We as a whole have got to stop littering. It is no one else’s fault other than our own (students, faculty and staff).
If other organizations need philanthropy ideas, feel free to adopt MSU. Helping out the community is wonderful, but don’t forget the MSU campus needs attention too.
