GSBM GOING GREEN

Pepperdine has announced an initiative to cover the exterior of the buildings on the Drescher Campus with a “greener” outer layer.

The new environmentally friendly coating is cellulose based and contains interwoven cotton fibers for increased strength and durability. It has been designed to stand up to repeated abuse and can handle washings without fading.

“The US Government paid for the research and development of this product,” said Dr. Mallinger, “and it’s been wildly successful. It’s one of the few things they’ve done right.”

The product comes in 2.16 by 6.14 inch rectangles, and can be applied with tape, glue or tacks.

Manufactured by the Treasury Department, it is available at various price points.

“Well, we could do it on the cheap,” began Dr. Mallinger, “but we think that would send the wrong message. Currently we’re thinking of using the 20 dollar product, unless USC decides to use the 50’s. Gotta keep up, ya know.”

“Once applied, the GSBM will be a lot greener, and we think this sends the right message to the students and the community: Graziadio is all about green!”

Tuition will be increased to $147,583 per semester to cover the initiative.
