Regarding today’s scavenger hunt for the Spirit Week celebrations, I am very happy with the enthusiasm on campus about these events. I would like to point out though, that some of today’s scavenger hunt participants were a bit too enthusiastic. I was walking from the hospital building into the Wittson building on the 3rd floor, just after the scavenger hunt began. I saw 4-5 participants running towards me and brushing by people that were walking in the area. They headed into the 3rd floor of the hospital. It just seemed to be one team of participants that were running, as the others were just walking briskly. Not only is this unintelligent, but it is dangerous to other people walking, patients, visitors, etc. who were in the hall. I did see at least one person have to move towards the wall of the hallway just to not be bumped! Although it shouldn’t be necessary, maybe for the next scavenger hunt, the organizers should tell the participants not to run! If even just one person had been bumped into, or accidentally knocked out of the way, someone could have been unnecessarily hurt and for what? A scavenger hunt? This is a hospital! The only people that should ever be running in any of the buildings are those responding to a code or a fire!
