A university student is ex-pected to behave in a waythat displays a high levelo awareness and under-standing, including a dis-tinction between bad andgood manners. There is noneed to mention that theHoly Quran and the ha-diths o our prophet Mo-hammed (peace be uponhim) have both urged peo-ple to be clean and neat. Also, it is commonly un-derstood that our cultureas Muslims and Arabsadvocates order in every

aspect o lie. Regrettably,there are students whoboth intentionally and un-intentionally ignore theseteachings and insist onleaving the tables at ea-teries on campus unclean.Look at any table, and youwill nd it ull o hal-emp-ty drink cans, bottles, cups,ood waste, packets, usedtissues, ood wrappers, etc.

Ironically enough, thereare signs posted on theour surrounding walls ocofee shops and even onthe tables themselves re-minding people to keepthe space clean. Some-times you cannot even ndspace to place your cup otea rom the accumulatedheaps o rubbish!

In response to this trend,I reuse to believe that thematter is merely orgettingto carry ones OWN rub-bish to the rubbish bins oneor two meters away rom

eating areas. In my pointo view, there are only twopotential interpretationsor this uncivilized behav-ior. One, it is a lie habit orthese careless students tonot be clean. Two, thesestudents are aware thatleaving the table dirty isawul, but, unortunately,they have been raised in away so as not to lit a nger,
