Notice Boards

By Tooba Altaf

The Department of Mass Communication (UoK) has plenty of notice boards (soft boards). Four on the ground floor and two on the floor above. Only two are used officially, one for the morning session and other for the evening. What are the other four boards used for? I will come to that later. Firstly let me share with you the concerns I have about the boards used officially.

The morning one is too messed up. You will always find pages overlapping each other with no proper arrangement. The only rule which the administrator of the board seems to follow is to pin the notice wherever there is a place, no matter how it looks. On the other hand, the evening board is completely the inverse of the morning one. Papers are always pinned orderly which presents an absolute neat look. If I am not wrong the same administration is responsible for these boards so, what kind of discrimination rather disorganization is this?
The tale of other four boards is that they are utilized by students (mostly political workers). The point I want to mention here is that why these students do not dispose the notices when their purposes are fulfilled? You can witness the crushed notices in the frame of board.

Another thing I was wondering was why our very respectful active students of department do not use these boards while celebrating Independence Day, Earth Day and a lot more days? Why those walls of department attract them so much that they paste their lovely messages on them? And then have no time to remove it. I mean you can use these boards and if there is some problem then there is a wall reserved as Students Gallery, kindly put your stuff over there. It will make our department look much tidier and paint on the walls more long lasting.
