I would like to respond to and express my opinion about the article in the Daily Forty-Niner titled, " Students Ponder Toilet Questions".

It seems some students here at Long Beach State are not using good judgment while using the campus restrooms and instead are continually making the restrooms messier for all the rest of us. These people who diligently litter our restrooms should be held responsible for their actions.

If Facilities Management left the cleaning of the restrooms to the students for one week maybe then will the students accept responsibility and students will think twice about leaving a mess.

We must commend the great job the Facilities Management does on a daily basis for the university. These workers deserve credit for the work they do, which can be work that most Americans would never think of doing. Most of these workers come out at night to begin their work, which continues into the early morning. They all deserve credit for the work they do and we the students must not overlook their integral part of the university.

We must not put the blame on the campus staff, which is responsible for the maintenance of the campus restrooms. Students must take more responsibility for their actions and must realize the consequences that their neglect has on other members of the university community.
