An overflowing trash dwnpster sits at the bottom of the stairs in Woodcrest. Flies hover aimlessly above the can and the overwhelming stench of the decaying garbage gags passers-by. "They [housekeeping] only take off the top layer so they don't overflow," Brenda Moscatell, a freshman English/communications major, said. Moscatell is concerned that the heating system will filter the smell throughout the building when it is turned on. The sanitation and general cleanliness of the dormitories and houses on campus is a major
concern of residents. Bathrooms, kitchens and common areas are left unkempt. "Perception has a lot to do with it as well," Howard Holden, the director of facilities, said. Holden went on to say that students generally see the bathrooms in the morning, but they are not cleaned until the afternoon. Thus, they see them when they are the dirtiest. "Housekeeping is really good, but the residents are kinda dirty," Jen Scapellati, a sophomore English and secondary education major, said. Scapeletti complained that the floors in her bathroom in New Residence Hall are always wet and slippery. CLEANLINESS page 5
