Law Prof Writes Berkeley Students About 'Food, Vermin and You'
For those who didn’t get the message from their mothers while they were still living at home, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley has circulated a memo to students on “Food, Vermin and You.”
“This is not a complex message: clean up after yourselves,” writes Bob Berring in the Monday e-mail, which is reprinted by Above the Law.
While no one wants to serve as the food police, “major feeding frenzies” and “seriously gross food messes” require more consideration by those responsible for the problems in the law library and student center, Berring says.
And, for those who aren’t already in the know, he points fledgling legal eagles to another benefit of their Berkeley education: a dishwasher, detergent and paper towels are provided in the student lounge. “There is even a vacuum cleaner in the copy room,” he notes, “should you be so inclined.”
