It's gratifying to learn that the
IFC in interested in cleaning up our
environment, but frankly I don't
think it's their job.
I would like to say to every
student: You are attending what is
without question the most beautiful
university in this country and
one of the most beautiful in the
world, and it is your privilege and
responsibility to keep it that way.
It's true that the streets surrounding
the University are shabby,
but they have flowering shrubs,
trees, and song birds in abundance,
things which according to scientists
are fast disappearing from the
earth. You can't walk in any
direction without finding these
priceless additions to the enjoyment
of living. What a pity that
thoughtless and careless litter is
making a slum of the environs of
what Mr. Jefferson described as his
"beautiful and hopeful university."
I am in favor of more and bigger
trash cans in strategic spots, and of
every student in the University
doing his part to keep it beautiful.
