Hi Janette- Thanks for your post to the forum. I think that all faculty and administrators face the problem of trying to accomodate our students while keeping our facilities and equipment in good shape. At my college, we require lids on drinks in classrooms but computer labs are still "Food and Drink Free". I think that you have the right idea though - getting students to understand the "Why?" can make a difference. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
