assessed according to the
Room Condition Report that
all residents fill out at the be
ginning of the year. If the
custodian finds damage is
the room that was not origi
nally marked in the Room
Condition Report, residents
will be charged accordingly.
Another campus veteran,
sophomore Greg Bilstad,
had some advice about
avoiding fines.
“If you put anything like
tape or adhesive on the win
dow sill, or around the win
dow, you’re going to need to
scrub for a long time because
the sun bakes it on there,”
he said.
He suggested using
Windex or other liquids that
help dissolve substances that
stick to the walls or win
dows. Some other things he
found helpful include using
white correction fluid to cov
er up holes in the wall and a
gob of sticky tack to collect
sticky remnants on the wall.
Other residence hall resi
dents had ideas about how to
avoid damage charges, such
as flipping the bed board up
side down in order to hide
stains and moving the upper
bed board to the lower posi
tion to hide scratches. Resi
dents also suggested using
Oxi Clean to remove stains
on the carpet, using a wet
sponge to loosen tape the
sun has baked onto the win
dow and filling holes in walls
with toothpaste or putty.
Some damages to the
room are easy to fix, but
"The leaves
decomposed in
the gutter, and the
seeds took root
and became a
garden"

others like stains and bro
ken furniture are more diffi
cult. “The barbecue sauce
is going to be pretty bad,”
said freshman Robert
Stroup, who stained the
area around his desk while
watching a DVD. “(It’s) all
around the computer. It’s
the only place to eat when
you watch a nice DVD.”
Students living off campus
also may have to do exten
sive cleaning. Some resi
dents have an easier job
cleaning than others.
Sophomore John Robin
sonfWilson is moving out of
a four-bedroom house with
hardwood floors. He said
the hardwood floors are
much easier to deal with
than carpets because there
aren’t any stains.
In contrast, senior Josh
Herr will have his hands full
when it comes time to clean
his two-bedroom apartment.
He said there is red hair dye
on the ceiling because his
roommate’s girlfriend left the
cover on a bottle, and it ex
ploded. He is planning to re
paint it.
Herr said he has a dog and
a cat, and at times the pets
leave unwelcome surprises
on the carpet. Trash is also
piling up on his deck, and
some of the trash bags are
leaking, making an awful
stench. Herr’s plan is to take
the garbage bag and “run like
hell” to the garbage bin to
avoid excess leakage.
“All of our mishaps are
from love,” he said.
Junior Greg Bresnitz, who
lives in a two-bedroom
house, also has a big job on
his hands. He said he has not
cleaned his roof gutter the
whole year.
“The leaves decomposed
in the gutter, and the seeds
took root and became a gar
den,” he said. An assortment
of plants and grasses now are
sprouting on his roof.
Whatever type of cleaning
is required, students need to
be prepared.
“Start early, because it
takes twice as long as you
think it will,” junior Rachel
Osofsky said.
