In the Thursday, Oct. 26 Campus Announcements email, CNU Grounds made an announcement asking students to refrain from playing Spike Ball on the Great Lawn. CNU Grounds provided alternative lawn options for the game including Gosnold, Greek, Warwick, and East Campus.
In the same email it was announced that there are three new ‘pet waste stations’ on campus. Readers were urged to have their pets relieve themselves in wooded areas or in garden beds to avoid “unsightly dead spots around the residential buildings.”
On top of this, there have been ropes placed around the Gosnold lawn to keep students from cutting across due to a “desire path” which has been created across the lawn. A desire path is an unplanned trail created by human or animal traffic. With students continuously cutting across the Gosnold Lawn, a diagonal strip of dead grass has become more noticable.
