Clean and Green

What were all those big guys with plastic bags doing around the Dartmouth campus Wednesday afternoon? Explained football coach Buddy Teevens:
"We're making spring cleaning an annual thing. There are kind of multiple purposes. One is to clean up around here and have the guys appreciate the fact that people don't think twice about the trash they leave behind or see on the ground. It's appalling the amount of cigarette butts people toss without thinking. This is our domain, our place, and I want the guys to have great pride in it. It's been interesting to hear their comments: 'I can't believe how much stuff is around.' It's also a little unifying opportunity saying we're happy and proud to be here. Hopefully it's a good message to the community about our team and to people about thinking more before they leave trash behind."
