Basketball tournament aids health initiative

More than 100 people played basketball for a good cause on Saturday.
Shawnee Wallace, a freshman from El Dorado, is the vice president of Eljayhawk Health Initiative, and said that the turnout is just what the program needed to raise
Jayhawk Health Initiative, a pre-health program for students, put on the tournament where teams of three competed to win a $300 grand prize.
The silent auction featured a signed basketball from the men's team and a signed football from the football队. The lucky buyer paid $170 for the basketball.
The winning team, the Flint Tropics, came out on top over the 29 other competing teams to win the $300 grand prize.
"It was great to see all of our volunteers who put in hard work get a huge payoff from the event," Wallace said. "This is really going to help us"
Wallace said the success of the event will guarantee that Jayhawk
"The money we raised through the tournament will go towards medicine, hiring doctors and others supplies."

the tournament and a silent auction will be put towards supplies and personnel that will be going to Panama.
"We'll be in Panama for a week. Pre-health students will be joining up with a medical brigade where we will have doctors provide health care for those in need," Wallace said. "The money we raised through the tournament will go towards medicine, hiring doctors, and other supplies."
Wallace says the group is hoping to raise as much money as they can before the trip to Panama because the more money they raise, the more help they can provide.
Health Initiative will be able to take future trips to other countries to provide free medical care to those who need it.
The students going to Panama
will be teaming up with doctors to provide medical and dental checks, medication, and education. Students will teach patients about correctly brushing their teeth and obtaining clean water.
Although the highlight of the tournament was supposed to be an appearance by some of the men's basketball players, Wallace said they had conflicting schedules.
"It was still fun to see competitive basketball while raising money for our trip at the same time," Wallace said.

University receives feedback from recycling competition
MEGAN LUCAS
The University recently took part in RecycleMania, a nationwide competition where schools collect data on the amounts they recycle. RecycleMania ranks schools in eight categories: bottles and cans, corrugated cardboard, food service organics, paper, gorilla, per capita classic and waste minimization.
In the University's first year of competition, it has room for improvement.
In a few categories the University did well. The University won the Targted Materials category and took second place in the gorilla prize category for Kansas.

The Gorilla Prize takes the total amount of materials recycled compared to other participating schools in the state. The University had 17,490 pounds and Kansas State University had
In the category of the Grand Champion, which takes the total number of recycled materials divided by the total amount of trash, KU was at 17 percent, while K-State was at 26 percent.
228,777 pounds.
In the category of food waste, the University took 57th place out of 156 competitors with 4,698 pounds. The University was first in the Big 12. In the category of bottles and cans, however, the University did not do very well.
"This was our first year participating, and we can always go upwards," Center for Sustainability staff member Manny Abarta said. "Recycling here is very low — at 17 percent and the national is 34 percent. I made a promise to the student government to improve that."
Currently the recycling bin to trash can ratio is low, with one recycling bin for every five trash cans.
This summer, there are plans for a waste audit to come look through the University's trash to see what can be recycled that students are throwing away.
"It is important not to be discouraged", Abarta said. "We knew that we wouldn't do well and that gives us more tools when we are focusing on new programs."
"We have a great opportunity here," Abarta said. "I wanted to get us going and know where we stand. This is the first step."
Abarta is currently working on a project to see how recycling is done at the University.

"We need student participation," Abarta said. "We don't have enough people engaged who know how to make a difference and want to. Once recycling becomes fun, it will be natural for students. We need to develop habits and trends."
RESULTS
First place among Kansas schools in the targeted materials category, which is calculated to recognize schools recycling the largest amount of the targeted material on a per capita basis.
Second place among Kansas schools with 17,490 pounds in the Gorilla Prize category, which recognizes schools that recycle the highest gross tonnage of combined paper, cardboard and bottle and cans, regardless of campus population. Kansas State had 228,777 pounds.
First place among Big 12 schools in the food waste category, which tracks food waste and any organic materials handled alongside it.
