Homecoming queen posters totally excessive


Wow! It must be Homecoming Week at UTM again, because the amount of eye garbage littering the inside walls all over campus is getting extreme.

In fact, in the main stairwell of the Humanities building, one homecoming queen candidate actually taped garbage to the wall. How ironic.

Why are students allowed to put their obnoxious and gigantic posters up all over campus? Why are they allowed to put them on the handrails? I’m glad nobody slipped and grabbed for the rail, only to find a super-sized “Vote For Me” homecoming poster.

I think that the administration is too lenient with posting flyers around campus.

I’ve been on college campuses that have specific bulletin boards reserved for public flyers. Before anyone can post a piece of paper to one of these boards, they must bring it to an office and have it approved. Once approved, the flyer gets a stamp on it and can be posted.

This seems to me like a perfectly logical system to use. It would keep homecoming and SGA posters off of the handrails and out of our faces. It would also force the campus to put more official bulletin boards up inside buildings so students would know where to go for random information, instead of being bombarded by it.
