student involvement

A new student organization on campus is trying to bring sustainable energy issues facing the country to students at the University of Kansas.
The KU Energy club aims to educate students about energy by bringing together students with key players in the energy field, such as industry leaders, policy makers and academic faculty, to openly discuss all methods of energy reform and the energy issues today.
"The coal plant is a big issue right now," said Greg Loving, KU Energy Club co-president and a junior from Salt Lake City. "So we could have somebody from the industry, a government official, and somebody who's protesting it. I think when you have all that dialogue is when you really get some positive interaction."
The KU Energy Council is a group of 15 distinguished professors from the schools of engineering and business. Its main goal is to heighten the awareness of energy research at the University. For three years, the Energy Council has studied fossil fuels and worked with policy makers to affect how Kansas handles its energy.
Loving, along with co-president Brian Larkin, a senior from Garden City, sought help from the KU Energy Council in establishing this new club.

New program offers cheaper books to students
BY KELLY MORGAN

This summer, Hewlett Packard selected KU Bookstores to house a pilot for its Print-On-Demand book printing program. The program brings a publishing center to Jayhawk Inc. on the second floor of the Kansas Union and now allows them to quickly create textbooks and other course materials for a fraction of the cost. While only a few months old, the program has quickly gained popularity among departments on campus.
"It has been a much higher volume than what we intended," said Estella McCollum, director of KU Bookstores. "We've probably produced around 5,000 books in a month. It's been incredible."
"If a student were to come up to us and say that we were out of a certain textbook that they needed, we could just tell them to go grab a coffee and when they come back the book will be ready for them to pick up," McCollum said.
The draw for many of these departments lies in the removal of the hassle that comes with printing books off campus.
"If I were to go off campus to another place it would probably take about a week to 10 days to get," said Robin Holladay, administrative associate senior for the English department. "Here it was done in four days."
Books not bought individually can be created in as little as eight minutes.
The final product is a neatlybound book complete with a laminated cover.
Holladay said. "What sold me on it is the fact that you can take your file, send it to them and they download it and do whatever they do with it printing-wise, and it really comes out clear and crisp."
"One example of a course where we were able to significantly decrease the cost of the books was with Professor Holmes' psychology
"We've probably produced around 5,000 books in a month. It's been incredible."
For students, the Print-On Demand program means cheaper book options on the shelves of the KU Bookstore.

and his course packs," said Rachel Barnes, custom materials buyer for KU Bookstores. "It used to be $45, and we've gotten it down to $22."
The price decrease comes
from the bookstore's ability to cut production costs by not having to pay for shipping or labor.
"We are really here trying to provide a good service." McCollum
said. "We don't want students to feel like we're robbing them, ripping them off. It's just kind of changing that perception of what we're here for."
In the future, KU Bookstores would like to expand its services to further accommodate the needs of students and members of the Lawrence community.
"Wed like to go past even publisher and custom course materials, into individual creative works," McCollum said. "Whether it be for a class project or just personal interest, we want to allow students the ability to come in and easily print their own materials in a bound format."
