If you are
wondering why some lockers have stickers on them and why others do not, it’s
because the Student Recreation and Wellness Center is testing out a new concept.
Every
day at the beginning of the semester the employees at the SRWC have to help
20-25 people open their locker, and the biggest problem as to why they cannot
open their locker is the fact that they have identified the wrong locker. To
help with this they have put stickers on sections of each locker room to test
if it helps people to remember which locker they used.
The two
stickers in the women’s locker room say fitness and intramural, which causes some
confusion. “I wasn’t sure if I could use those lockers or not at first if I wasn’t involved in fitness classes or intramural,” said sophomore Julie Choi.
So far the spoken word response has been positive, but the written
response has been mostly negative. SRWC worker, Melissa B., attributes it to
the philosophy that when something good happens you tell two people, but when
something bad happens you tell 20. The SRWC is going to continue testing this practice
they borrowed from the theme park industry for a few more weeks before they
decide whether or not to introduce the concept throughout the whole locker
room.
