Unnecessary Litter Considered Harmful
Hey fellow undergrads! We’ve noticed that the labs are starting to slowly drift towards messiness again and we’d like to remind you that the labs are a mutual commons for all undergrads. We understand things can start to get messy around midterms and finals; just please keep a few points in mind.
Recycle paper instead of leaving them around
Clean up remnants of everything you eat or drink (including packaging)
Leave snacks to share in the ACM lounge
The first two points are particularly important because custodians are legally unable to clean up scratch paper and certain leftovers.
Happy coding!
