Bubbles in the courtyard fountain have been a familiar sight for Liberty University students over the years.

It does cost LU thousands of dollars having to clean up after the bubbles...I was speaking to one of the guys who looks after facilities (and fountains) and he's said that the bubbles have caused pumps to go bad, and they have to use something (I forget what he said) that is very expensive to clean out the fountains after it's done...



Still seems a little silly to be on Crime Stoppers even though it's something that should be stopped
