Staff Editorial: Exterminate the Mice!

For several weeks, mice have been found in the dorms of Tenley Campus. Far from the cute, cuddly mice the Disney Channel advertises, these rodents live between rooms in Tenley and frighten residents. We are fairly sure Luke from the 1990 film "The Witches" is not enrolled in AU; aside from him, there should be no mice in dorms.

AU Physical Plant has given students mousetraps and said that it will not bring in an exterminator. This is unacceptable. This is a serious issue, and AU must take all available steps to get rid of the mice. If this happened in an apartment building, the landlord would not be able to get away with just laying some mousetraps. However, unlike with apartment buildings, tenants in dorms are unable to withhold rent in order to force a change. AU already has your money for the year and can pretty much do whatever it decides.

Spring break next week offers a perfect opportunity to fumigate Tenley and get rid of the problem while people are gone from campus. Sure, it would be a hassle to organize, but it's better than the other option: rooming with Fievel Mousekewitz from "American Tale"
