Students and staff continue to receive free entertainment in bathroom stalls across campus.

"Here I sit, my cheeks a flexin' when out came another Texan. As I peeked to have a look. I saw the face of George W. Bush." This poem is on a second floor men's bathroom stall in Lincoln Hall. The poem was written by someone claiming to be former first lady Barbara Bush.

Graffiti in campus bathrooms can be both entertaining and offensive.

In Lincoln Hall, the graffiti is more political.

"Free Palestine" is written on a stall in a men's bathroom on the first floor of Lincoln Hall. A person responded, but the response cannot be included because of the type of language used.

"And I thought life in prison meant no sex" is also written on a stall in a first floor Lincoln Hall men's bathroom.

"Lisa got pregnant here" is written on a men's bathroom stall on the first floor of the Illini Union.

Some interesting bathroom graffiti can also be found in a men's bathroom on the second floor of Davenport Hall: "Save the environment, spread your feces on your neighbors lawn, today or unravel to leave paper in their trees."

Abel Ochoa, freshman in LAS, said he enjoys the graffiti, especially drawings.

"I think it's amazing so many people have that type of time on their hands," Ochoa said. "It's their way of expressing themselves."

Lauren Yurman, junior in LAS, also finds the graffiti amusing.

"It's not hurting anybody so I don't think anything is wrong with it unless it's offensive," Yurman said.

But graduate student Rebecca Livesay is offended by the graffiti.

"(Gregory Hall) is a really historic building, but it's unfortunate people would take a marker and destroy it," Livesay said.

Randy Kornegay, superintendent of building services, said graffiti is not a major problem. He said graffiti is eliminated as it is spotted.

"If you ask me what is the worst building on campus for graffiti, I'll say we don't have one," Kornegay said. "If (graffiti) is viewed to be serious (a threat, racially or gang related) we report it to campus security."

Dick Justice, associate dean of students, said graffiti is against the University code of content. He said sanctions are handled case by case and depend on the cost of the repairs and the severity. Disciplinary action includes community service and in the most severe cases, being referred to a sub-committee hearing for student discipline, Justice said.

"Not too many people have been caught and referred to our office," Justice said. "We have to take this serious, especially with the budget situation where we don't have as much money to make repairs."
