POLICY FOR LOCUST WALK BANNERS

Any University group or organization may reserve one of 15 locations and sets of poles for banner display along Locust Walk between 36th & 37th Streets.

Reservations may be made in the Office of Student Life (OSL), 200 Houston Hall, as early as Friday at 12:00 PM of the week prior to the week of the actual reservation. Poles and locations may be reserved for a maximum of one week after which the reservation must be made again for the next week.

- A diagram illustrating the location of sleeves along Locust Walk (into which the reserved poles are placed) is located on the wall in the reception area of the OSL.

- The sign-up sheet, requesting the name of the reserving group, person making the reservation's name and phone number, will be posted below the diagram.

Reserved poles may be picked up in the OSL beginning Monday morning at 9:00 AM of the week for which the reservation is made.

- At the time the poles are picked up, a cash deposit of $25.00 must be made. This deposit will be returned to the reserving group when the poles are returned to the OSL at the end of the reservation period.

FAILURE TO RETURN RESERVED POLES BY THE END OF THE RESERVATION PERIOD (FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT 4:00 PM OF THE WEEK FOR WHICH THE RESERVATION WAS MADE), RETURN OF DAMAGED POLES, AND/OR FAILURE TO RETURN POLES BECAUSE THEY WERE LOST OR STOLEN WILL RESULT IN FORFEITURE OF THE $25.00 SECURITY DEPOSIT AND AN AUTOMATIC $100 FINE TAKEN FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S UNIVERSITY ACCOUNT. Poles still need to be returned even if the deposit is forfeited.

Any poles found in sleeves that have not been reserved ahead of time , or for which there is no deposit on record, will be removed. The deposit will not be returned.

If a group fails to return its poles ONCE in one year, it forfeits all rights to use the poles for four academic months from the day the poles were due.

Poles and the spaces in which to place them are the only things obtainable through the OSL. Neither twine, string, rope, tape, scissors, ladders nor any other materials will be provided. Such items must be provided by the reserving groups.

Facilities Services personnel have been authorized to remove any banners hung in unauthorized locations, i.e. any location unmarked on the schematic diagram mentioned previously in this document and/or the absence of the use of University provided poles.

Failure to abide by any of the guidelines listed in this policy may result in the loss of a group's permission to reserve poles and locations on Locust Walk for the balance of the academic year.
