West Mall Dangers

Author: AM  /  Category: Uncategorized

As University of Texas students, we hail from far and wide to trek through campus everyday in the pursuit of a higher education. We patiently wait for busses, dodge oncoming traffic at busy intersections, and barely bypass those who stop to chat front and center on narrow campus sidewalks.

But amidst all of our different campus obstacles there seems to be one thing we have all encountered, withstood, and conquered. Maybe it’s something in the water but as of becoming UT students we have all seemed to master a particular and systematic approach to evading the West Mall handouts.  

Some dramatically drop their heads to avoid eye contact, others conveniently check their cell phones for text messages or missed calls, and few even avoid the West Mall altogether eliminating any possibility of confrontation with a brightly colored flyer.

 It’s a war zone out there kids. Flyers, candy, and baked goods bombard you from every angle. If you don’t watch out who knows what these persistent and enthusiastic volunteers could thrust upon you…flag football tournaments? LSAT classes? A political endorsement flyer?? Below is proof that these people are out there, they want you, and they don’t seem to care even a little bit if they are repeatedly ignored in their attempts.

    I think we should save the trees and just ban all paper flyers altogether! They just see the bottom of the trash can anyways.
