Waste stations will be set up at sporting events to encourage recycling. Kansas Athletics along with Rock Chalk Recycle created the initiative.
RECYCLING FROM PAGE 1A
The first home football game of the season was the first chance Rock Chalk Recycle had to implement their plan on a large scale. According to Cantanero, 63
percent more bags went to recycling and compost than went to the landfill.
Cantarero said they considered this a big success for their first large event. They hope that the
throw everything away in the trash can. When you have something you don't want anymore, you just throw it away", Cantarero said. "We want to educate people on the different options they have, rather than just putting it in the trash can and hoping it'll disappear."
"We're trying to see how big we can make it. Our goal is to hit every athletics home event."
KARI CANTANERO Center for Sustainability outreach coordinator
program will continue to expand with every event that they work and as they continue to find ways to improve upon their efforts.
"We're trying to see how big we can make it," Cantarero said. "Our goal is to hit every athletics home event, and that the program will grow."
Along with reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills, another main goal of the initiative is to educate fans on what types of items can be recycled and composted, and what the benefits are of choosing to use these options.
"Most people's go-to is to just
"Waste ambassadors" will stand at every waste station during the games to help fans sort their trash into the different containers. An estimated 150 volunteers work
as waste ambassadors during the games in Memorial Stadium. They are there to educate fans about the initiative and about what items can be kept out of the landfills, and instead recycled or composted.
"We want to have that interaction with the fans to educate them, and help them sort out what they have" in their hands as they approach the waste stations." Severin said.

CAMPUS
Program provides students with free safe rides home
For years students have been able to find their way safely after a night of reveling and partying thanks to SafeBus and SafeRide. The programs were initially set up to deter drunk driving and help students safely reach their homes, according to KU Parking and Transit website.
SafeBus operates from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and has four routes. The routes extend throughout campus and Lawrence going as far west as Wakarusa and south to 33rd street. Students have to present their KU IDs in order to ride the bus. Guests may ride with KU students for a $1 fee. This is limited to one guest per student.
The SafeBus and SafeRide programs are not only for students who may be intoxicated, but also for people who want to get home safely. "I think it's a well-organized system that gets you home with safety being a priority," said Jay Bhakta, a student riding the SafeBus.
SafeRide is available free of charge to students seven nights
a week from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. throughout the school year. SafeRide has been providing students with rides home for more than two decades.Both of the services are paid for by student fees which are allocated by the Student Senate.
Riders must call the SafeRide hotline, 785-864-7233, state how many people need a ride confirm a pickup location and drop-off location. Just like the SafeBus program, students have to present their KU IDs and also have to show proof of residence to the drop-off location. Drivers' licenses and bills with the address can be used. SafeRide won't take students to a location other than the specified location.
The average wait time is usually 20 to 30 minutes, but can become longer on busier nights. Three to eight SafeRide cars are on the road depending on the day of week, according to KU Parking and Transit website.
Students can find routes, bus times and SafeRide information online at safebus.ku.edu.
