Cleaning WC's puts money in students' empty pockets

Paying Humber students to clean up the college's washrooms

is a 'neat' idea. At an academic council meeting last Thursday, members expressed concern about the unsanitary state of the school's restrooms and that the situation may only get worse when six custodians are laid off. A suggestion was made to pay students to do the cleaning with $1,600 furnished by advertisers of the Dr. Marten ads which hang in toilet stalls. While $1 ,600 cannot pay for the return of even one of the six

Humber caretakers, it could cover the suggested rate of $8 an

hour that it would cost to hire students to do the job - at least for a while. Insensitivity aside, practicality must reign. The very fact that the school would offer the money to stu- dents rather than to outside individuals or agencies, who might be willing to accept the same wages, indicates the school is

looking after the student body that it represents. In these tough times of unemployment and inflating tuitions, students are in dire need of extra cash. Having the school hire students to clean toilets, sinks and

counters is no different than hiring students to work in the

bookstore, library or kitchen. An honest day's work is still an honest day's work. The funds from new MuchMusic ads in the washrooms could

probably be used to employ more students as well. It's money that is certainly not being flushed down the toilet. f A lesson should be learned from snowmobile accidents LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
