Sophomore Austin Evans has held the door between Freshman Cafeteria and Greyhound Station after school ever since the middle of his freshman year. He said he started doing it because he thought it was a nice thing to do.

“A lot of people thank me, so I know that they appreciate it,” Evans said. “I just want (freshmen) to feel comfortable that they can go in and out without having to stop and open the door.”
