HC Bitch session

[Gotta Hav]

I'd like to take this opportunity to bitch about the 9th St. exit out of the Hulman Center. I don't know what the Memorial is, or what the many brass plaques on the East wall Memorial are for, but you couldn't get close enough to read them anyway....for all the frickin' mop buckets, mops, maintenance ladders, stacks of exhibition hall chairs and the other crap that's piled up there.

If you haven't seen it, just prepare yourself before arriving there by playing the theme songs from Deliverance or the Beverly Hillbillies in your head, and you'll get the picture. How embarassing, I'm hoping that we didn't have any important visitors, recruits, or recruits parents to see this mess.

Not only is this an ugly housekeeping issue, and a desecretion, it's a SAFETY issue as well.

P.S. Hopefully, no gets on here and says, "don't you people understand how lucky we are to have the finest management and maintenance staff in the world at the HC, and all you people can do is bitch about the piles of junk they leave stacked up at a sacred Memorial Wall in the HC during a Division I basketball game."

Mop buckets, etc were probably there because they had the "Polar Plunge" earlier.. I'm certain that the participants had to go inside to change clothing, dry off, etc.

The ladders stacked up.. because they have all been in use for the window painting..

Better places to put them? Probably... I have not idea how easy it would have been to put things away.

THere was a LOT going on over this weekend for the ISU and HC Staff.

I wasn't there and didn't see it. However, if in fact it was/is a safety issue for visitors to HC there is no excuse for it. I find it hard to believe there was not an out of sight place where what ever it was could be stored.

I see this as a part of the never ending image issues that haunt ISU. If it had been my first visit to the HC it most likely would have made an impression--a negative impression. It's little things like this that add up to make a big problem. When you are in a people business, you must be people friendly.
