To Whom It May Concern~

I transfered this semester to Doane College seeking a institution of integrity, morale and grace.
Unfortunately, I realize that not all students at Doane feel the same.
To the student(s) who threw the trash can out onto the lake over the weekend, spewing trash all over the water and ice, I have two words for you: real classy.
If you study here you must be at least 18 years old by now, technically an adult and unfortunately you are paying an obscene amount of money to behave like a jackass.
For the minds and reassurance of everyone else studying here, please refrain from degrading the campus we are paying to upkeep.
Not to sound too much like your mom, but on the other hand, keep her in mind.
I’m sure that she would like to know that you appreciate her financial support so much.
Unfortunately, you did not have the "balls" to leave your name on your work; maybe then you could have been around to clean it up.
Do you think it is the job of the maintenance crew to clean up after you? A practical joke is one thing, but defacing property is another.
Seriously Disappointed,

Sophomore Alyssa Lindahl
