One Student's Trash...

Hadley Village apartment directors are on the offensive when it comes to trash in common area spaces, and they are out to get their message across to residents: keep the hallways empty or you will pay.Last year, a policy went into effect that mandated a $25 fine per resident of a four-person apartment for leaving trash in the alcoves outside apartment doors."This year, 25 people have been fined so far," said Missy George, office manager of Hadley.Since the other two undergraduate complexes, Flint Village and South Lake Village, don't have the alcove area, they don't have the same kind of problem faced by Hadley Village residents.Residents often mistake the alcove as an addition to their apartment, according to Beth MacEachin, assistant director for university apartments and interim complex director of Hadley.MacEachin said the alcove space is not property of the resident since it is used as an emergency exit, and by law, is considered a fire door."That's why there's a window there - so a ladder can be brought up to the window in an emergency situation," said MacEachin.According to the custodians in Hadley, garbage and shoes are among the most common items found in the hallway."My roommate got fined this year," said Sam Levenstein, a senior communication major and Hadley resident.
