A few weeks ago, 66 nursing students stated their concerns about the cleanliness of the Health Science Center in a petition sent to Director of Facilities Management Don Witt. Witt acknowledged that HSC is not as clean as it should because ACC is not that clean due to a shortage of custodians. An article addressing the subject in the March 16 Polemic, issue 8, was accompanied by a survey, which seven people 1 responded to. The results are listed below. Is the campus clean enough? No; 5 Yes: I NA: I 1 Current level of cleanliness on a scale of 1 - 5? I L#l:O L#2:l L#3:2 L#4:1 L#5:2 NA:0 ' Comments: ■ "Bathrooms need to be cleaned thoroughly and more often. VLH offices need more attention. Dusting is needed and vacuuming should be done more often and better. Hire more custodians!" ■ "As long as I can use the restroom without flinching, it's clean enough. If students i!!1Q teachers would pick up after themselves there would be more time for maintenance workers to 'maintain'." ■ "Campus cleanliness has a lot to do with the students. The j custodians do not have time to walk behind and pick up every hour and they should not be expected to." ■ "My complaint is the floor care; the classroom floors are especiaJly ] gross. Last semester for about 2 months there was an apple core and pop container in a classroom in VLH." ■ One respondent said the EAC showers are very dirty, and when the , showers are cleaned, they are not cleaned well. ■ One respondent voiced a continuing concern about the lack of an available cloth to clean off a table in the VLH lounge. Correction: The news story in the March 16, 1994 issue on campus cleanliness mistakenly named Beverly Jones as the custo- dian in NRC. Jones is retired. Marge Hoppe is the current NRC custodian.
