Watkins adds Earth to list of patients
By Kerrie Gottschalk
Kansan staff writer
Watkins Memorial Health Center employees have been providing student health care for a long time, but their environmental care program began just last month.
Instead of throwing waste materials into a trash bin to be hauled to a dump site, Watkins employees and students now can recycle some waste by Mike Chapman, physical therapist at Watkins.
"We noticed that a lot of employees would carry things such as glass, aluminum and newspapers home with them," Chapman said. "So we would have to be patient so the would be convenient for employees and students."
Employees now have recycling drop sites in the lunch room and break area for newspapers, plastic products, glass, aluminum and styrofoam. Chamman said.
Students can drop newspapers and aluminum in the receptacles located in Watkins' lobby.
Judy Pointer, physical therapy department receptionist, said that newspapers started to

pile up in the department last spring and that no one wanted to throw them away.
Some Watkins employees proposed forming a recycling committee after learning that the campus recycling program had no funds to provide another newspaper receptacle.
Chapman that a group of 10 employees, representing almost all of Watkins' departments, met during the summer and formed an inexpensive recycling plan.
The committee purchased large bins for newspapers and aluminum and used regular-sized trash cans for other items, he said.
All recycled items are put in plastic bags and collected once a week by a volunteer.
The bags then are taken to the loading dock at Watkins where Conservation Resources, 3009 W. 28th St., picks them up. The company charges $4 a month to pick up the recyclables.
Chapman said the recycling program was operated completely by employees on their own
Pointer said that the program had been successful so far.
"We've had a great turn out of trash," she said.
She said that she had noticed both staff and students using the bins.
Yesterday, bins in the lobby were one-fourth tall and bins in the employee lunch room were three-fifths tall.
Employees in the admissions department said that they had not noticed whether students were using the lobby bins but that the employees were using them all the time.
Judge upholds government rules curtailing student loan program
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A federal judge yesterday upheld government rules aimed at reducing student loan defaults by barring more colleges and trade schools with high default rates from the program.
"Unduly high default rates are a phenomenon that need not be tolerated." U.S. District judge Harold H. Greene said the rejection a lawsuit by a group of schools.
The group said about 178 institutions could be barred from guaranteed student loan programs this fall under the rules adopted in July by the Education Department. Some may have to go out of business as a result, the plaintiffs said.
Greene rejected the plaintiffs' argument that the rules were unconstitution-
ally retroactive and overreached the law passed by Congress. They also said the schools cannot control whether students repay their loans.
Student loan defaults increased by 338 percent between 1983 and 1989, the judge noted. He added the situation was one "for which the schools had some responsibility ... and that the plaintiffs should have addressed on their own before now."
The Education Department's previous regulations required schools to be barred from federal loan programs if their students' default rates were above 60 percent in 1989 and 55 percent in 1990.
Plaintiffs for the case included the Association of Accredited Cosmetology Schools, Delta Junior College of Baton Rouge, La., and eight other schools in various states.
