U Michigan students paid to clean up their rooms - AP

QUOTE. ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Some University of Michigan students are cleaning up in more ways than one. They're getting cash payments for keeping their dormitory rooms presentable and available for tours by prospective students and their parents....

"It's cleaner than a 15-year-old's room," Clark Iverson said.

The Campus Day program isn't available to everybody who wants in. "We applied to be part of the program, but we never got a reply," said Natalie Wowk, 19, a sophomore from Sterling Heights.

"They probably thought no amount of money could improve this room," joked her roommate, Adele Coehlo, 19, a sophomore from the United Arab Emirates. UNQUOTE
