Come fluff your pillo
Housekeeping Week highlights students’ cleaning}!
BY
SUZANNE BRABECK
The Battalion
T his week is national house
keeping week, which may
prove to be another good ex
cuse for students to eschew study
ing for more noble pursuits. At the
very least, this week gives students
a better excuse than “playing video
games” when they are asked to jus
tify their midterm GPR.
Ashley Hoyt, a freshman busi
ness administration major, said
housekeeping week is not likely to
gain instant acceptance by the
masses.
“Parents and kids alike seem to
dislike cleaning,” Hoyt said. “Why
else are cleaning chores given to the
young on weekends? But, when we
go off to college we rebel again and
stop doing them, unless of course if
it delays my calculus homework.”
It could be argued that there are
too many national holidays estab
lished every week and month. Sep
tember alone is designated as His
panic heritage month and contains
Labor Day.
Hoyt said while there are many
national holidays set aside for
worthwhile reasons, students de
serve more recognition than they
are given.
“Why is there a week for every
thing?” Hoyt said. “How come there
is not a college student week? We re
ally should have that one.”
Added on top of the national hol
idays honoring various and sundry
groups are the factoids every A&M
student is expected to learn.
Stephen Smith, a senior mechan
ical engineering major, said house
keepers deserve the thanks of the
student body, but having another
holiday is not necessary.
“If we give them a week, we’ll
have to give everyone a week,”
Smith said. “I think appreciation for
the custodial crew here at A&M
should just be a given. We should
not have just one week to appreciate
them all of the time.”
Living on campus yields a unique
perspective to the celebration of
housekeeping week.
Emily Luke, a sophomore civil
engineering major, said students
living together in close quarters
differ in their views of cleanliness
than those who live in more spa
cious housing.
“I think people that have their
own apartments care more about
housekeeping than people that live
in the dorms.” Luke said. “You can
tell because most guys’ halls usual
ly stink even after their bonfire
grades are gone. ”
Luke said for students who only
own half a single dorm room, house
keeping can bring roommates clos
er together or drive them apart.
“With a limited space in a
dorm room, organizing is more of
a challenge than housekeeping,”
Luke said.
Hoyt said students who were
taught to be neat before moving off
to college become the cleanest dor
mitory residents, making the dorm
room a more conducive environ
ment to studying.
“All 1 do at home is make my bed
and pick up my clothes, so there is
room to walk,” Hoyt said. “Our
room is always picked up, and so is
my room at home. During the week
end my room does get kind of messy
because we are very busy, but dur
ing the week it is clean because I
can’t study in a dirty room.”
Luke said it is nice to have cus
todial staff come into the dorm
room to clean the bathroom, but
a community bathroom is even
less of a hassle.
Joy Luke, Emily Luke’s mother
and a mother of another current
A&M student, said she thought it
would be a good idea to have col
lege students clean their own bath
rooms because most should already
be in the habit of performing that
chore. She said she would support
it, especially if it lowered the cost of
living on campus.
“A clean toilet is no laughing mat
ter,” Luke’s mother said. "It is a fact
of life that toilets need to be cleaned,
nd so, the

important responsibility, but some
one must monitor it.”
Barbi Bernard, a sophomore gen
eral studies major, said she did not
know housekeeping week existed.
“Being a resident adviser in a res
idence hall has shown me that a cus
