Ah, it’s the small things in life we learn to appreciate as we get older. I’m writing in support of Doug Anstoetter’s piece, “Single-ply toilet paper makes life on SLU’s campus ‘rough’.”
I’ve been at SLU for 25 years, and it seems this issue has gotten rougher in the last several years. And it’s one thing for those of us who are here every day—either paying for the opportunity or being paid for the opportunity—but imagine how the general public must feel.
If you spend your hard-earned money to go to an event at Chaifetz Arena, pay the vendor prices for refreshments, parking, etc., the least—the very least—you could expect is halfway decent toilet paper.
The last time I was at Chaifetz with friends, I heard positive comments about the facility itself and nothing but negative about the bathroom facilities. The quality of the toilet paper, paper towels for drying hands, scarcity of soap in the bathrooms—this was the experience my friends had at Chaifetz.
This University is better than that—and people who pay to come to SLU, whether as students or patrons of Chaifetz, deserve better than they get in the bathrooms!

I had to write a complaint to the RHC of Griesedieck about the quality of our bathroom, and it was ignored. If a toilet overflows, it should get mopped up, not let to sit and dry for 2 days…..
