<p>I read this story in the WashU student newspaper. I think it’s hysterical and is one example of the friendliness of the WashU student body. </p>

Stress relief at Washington University is now instantaneous.</p>
<p>Each Friday for the past two months, freshmen Greg Herren and Mike Bjorgaard have positioned themselves by the Forsyth Boulevard Underpass to compliment students as they walk to class. They arrive at 8:30 a.m. and continue to dole out compliments until 11 a.m.</p>
<p>We just wanted to make everyones day a little brighter. Its a great way to start a Friday, Bjorgaard said. Its the earliest I wake up all week
I wouldnt wake up this early to study, so we have to wake up early to give compliments.
…</p>
<p>The success of the group has Herren and Bjorgaard eying expansion. They hope to start programs in front of the library and in the Village. They have applied for Category III status within Student Union, which would recognize the group as official but would not provide any funding.

<p>I wish there were compliment guys where I live!</p>
<p>These guys live next door to me. Fun stuff.</p>
<p>I’ve been on the 40 several friday mornings and have seen them (although never gone under the underpass).</p>
<p>They always brighten up my day :)</p>
<p>I also saw the article but unfortunately have never seen these guys because I always bike up Wallace to class. I may start walking through the underpass on Fridays.</p>
<p>These guys are creating lots of good karma.</p>
<p>those guys are very funny, they live in beaumont</p>
