AUD students leave a considerable mess after the annual SGA pool party last Thursday due to laziness, according to security senior supervisor.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes a maximum of one hour of clean up,\u201d said Mohammed, the security senior supervisor who refused to give his last name.<\/p>\n
This is the event\u2019s second year. SGA typically hosts the party by the beginning of the fall semester to introduce freshmen to the university in an exciting way.<\/p>\n
Still, anyone from the university can attend. Around a hundred students attended this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the help of the AUD security team and the custodians, we are able to organise our parties,\u201d said Ahmed Raslan, the SGA public relations officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the party, there is usually a company that comes and removes their equipment and then the custodians clean right away,\u201d Raslan continued.<\/p>\n
Two vehicles came to the scene after the party to clean up; a pick-up truck and a large SUV. Several men were packing equipment and removing the trash. Even then, the pool was still littered with inflatable float toys and water guns.<\/p>\n
In addition, empty pizza boxes and juice cups were strewn around. According to the Litter. It Costs You organisation, the most common object found during litter clean-up is fast food litter.<\/p>\n
However, Mohammed claimed that the mess of smaller parties like the pool party is not a problem, especially when compared with other larger events.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem is with an event like international night, because when its big, the students get lazy and don\u2019t clean up after themselves,\u201d he said. \u201cAlso, cleaners have a lot of work during corporate games.<\/p>\n
The games are hosted during a weekend in university during springtime and hundreds, or thousands, of people come in when you have hundreds or even thousands of people come in to represent their corporation in a series of friendly competition.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, a study done in Tennessee proved that most people who would deliberately litter are those between 18-34 years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t really think about littering in university events,\u201d Hamed Saleh, a sophomore at AUD, said.<\/p>\n
Other students disagree.<\/p>\n
\u201cLittering is a pet peeve of mine\u2026 AUD events are no exception,\u201d said Laveezah Khan, an AUD junior who attended the pool party. \u201cIf I see [my friends] littering, I will tell them off\u2026 Or I\u2019ll do it myself,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
At any rate, AUD events are hosted for the students.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe never ask the students to clean after themselves. Our main goal is to make the students happy,\u201d Raslan concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
