Here’s my plan for reducing graffiti in the library bathroom. Initially I thought dry erase boards would be good, but its not much of an improvement upon the chalkboards they have at L&C law school. My plan involves stereotypes and literature, or something close to it.
- Bolt magazine rack to inside door of bathroom stall
- make generalizations about the types of graffiti and the people who write them and select magazines based on those generalizations
- put copies of Guns & Ammo, Adbusters, Christianity Today, Thrasher, The Source and Cosmopolitan (catch-all).
- Impose time limit for bathrooms
Impose time limit on bathroom? I can’t poop under pressure….
Scott, you shouldn’t sit until you need to shit.
Andy, with my germ phobia, I’d feel better installing the theft detectors so that magazines never go into the bathroom.
I kind of like grafitti in bathroom stalls. It makes the whole experience a little more organic as people bicker, fight, and sometimes even respond intelligently. Rarely.
I should clarify that I too enjoy bathroom graffiti, but I know that that tuition is rising, and the constant cleaning of the walls must cost money.
I figured you’d be wary of the magazines. That’s why there would be a separate set for in the bathrooms so people wouldn’t bring library material in.
You know, there isn’t any graffiti in the women’s room across the hall. Party in the men’s room!
