Many of these messes are the result of a lack of respect and a lot of drinking - this winning combination can end up leading to seriously disgusting defacement.

New to PSUC's staff, Teresa Driscoll formerly worked at St. Lawrence University for six years. Although she has not seen anything out of the ordinary since coming here, she remembers all too well some of the less-than-pleasant cleanups during her time at SLU.

"One time, while I was cleaning the floor of a girls' bathroom, a girl went in, did her business and walked out. Before she left she spit her gum on the floor right in front of me," Driscoll said.

Among the other things that found by the custodial staff on a weekly basis were vomit and urine in the elevators.

Driscoll said that she once had to clean a urinal that had been defecated in and had a beer bottle shoved in it.

If students knew what cleaning the campus up after a long weekend is like, perhaps they'd think twice before releasing their bodily fluids just anywhere.
