Task force hopes convenience will improve campus recycling
Students who have classes in Wescue Hall may notice that the yellow barrels for collecting aluminum have been used to recycle cans has never been easier.
Kansan staff writer
By Katie Chipman
The six barrels in Wescoe were removed yesterday and replaced with 25 cardboard boxes as an experiment to the boxes of the KU Recycling Task Force.
The task force will determine whether the increased number of receptacles affects the number of cans that students in Wescoe recycle.
Phil Endacott, associate director of facilities operations, said, "We feel a lot of cans are going into the regular trash cans. If we increase the
convenience of the receptacles, we're hoping that this will be a diversion from cans going into landfills."
A recycling box will be placed next
every trash can on the four floors
of West
The boxes were donated to KU by Alcoa, a national producer of aluminum. The boxes are made of cardboard and have a plastic liner that is suited to be impervious to the phosphoric acids in colas, Endacott said.
He said that the yellow barrels cost $33 each and that the cardboard baskets cost $14.
He said that KU could not afford to put the yellow barrels everywhere and that the cardboard boxes might prove to be an affordable alternative.
Alimee Hall, student body vice president and member of the task force, said, "If the program works well we'd like to put them in every classroom.
Hall said that by combining the programs, recycling on campus
"The primary reason we're trying this pilot program is because of the waste that is occurring on campus. It's so easy for students to come out of class and throw their cans away. This will make recycling more convenient for students."
"The yellow barrels are a good visual reminder for students to recycle, and the cardboard boxes will make it easier," she said.
Student groups request more funds than Student Senate plans to give
Bv Michael Christie
Kansan staff writer
Although Student Senate is scheduled to vote this week on a bill that would allocate $71,406 for student health services, it was rejected by the organizations at $132,507.
Last year, Senate allocated about $65,000 to student organizations.
Carl Damon, Senate treasurer, said many of the organizations were not familiar with the budget process thus made requests that were too high.
Some of the student organizations, he said, had requested money for activities that Senate could not finance, such as banquets or parties. In a list of recommended cuts, Damon said he would take out items that he thought conflicted with Senate rules and regulations.
A few groups have requested a substantial increase in money. The Organization of Adult Knowledge more than it was allocated last year.
Belinda Cook, president of the organization, said that the purchase of a computer, as well as an increase in the number of issues and mailings sent to his company's newsletter, necessitated the group's request for increased financing
Consumer Affairs Association was allocated $8,000 last year from Senate and is requesting $10,075 for the amount will be used to govt salaries.
Cynthia Ingham, Voice treasurer,
said that the end of hostilities in
the Middle East did not signify the need
for Voice to stop its activities.
Voice, an organization that promotes peace, is requesting $2,773 for next year. It did not request Senate approval for this year, its first in existence.
"We expect our activities in response to world events to be stepped up," she said.
The mentality behind war does not go away when war stops, Ingham said.
The Student Senate AIDS Task Force is requesting $2,974 for next year, an increase of $1,500 from this year's allocation of $1,474.
If Senate approves the finance committee's budget recommendations, the finance committee will have to trim $61,101 from the student organizations' requests. Senate is scheduled to vote on the budget bill tonight.
Required number of students not met to open a residence hall during break
Kansan staff writer
By Jonathan Plummer
Residence halls will not be open during spring break, leaving some international students to make other arrangements to stay in Lawrence.
Maria Thompson, student housing office assistant, said that only 33 students had signed up for housing during the break by yesterday's deadline. Forty-five are needed to keep a hall open for the week.
Thompson said that some students waited until the last minute to see whether the required number would sign up.
"People say they will sign up when the number hits 50," she said.
The office will give refunds today to the students who paid $80 to reserve spring break housing and other benefits. The college will mail that the hall will not be open.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that student housing usually did not get the response to open a hall during spring break
"We typically get the required number to keep a hall open for Thanksgiving break and not spring break," he said.
The office staff tries to find housing for those who sign up for it if none is offered, he said.
Some end up going home with their roommates or stay at Jayhawker Towers, which are open over break, with other families. Stone said.
But Daphem Johnston, assistant director of foreign student services, said some students never signed up for the residence hall because they still would have to find another option if the hall was not opened.
"It is always a dilemma," she said.
"It it really inconvenient and unfortunate for people, because it almost causes you to come up with a continuance plan."
Johnston said that in the past, he had asked student housing to keep a hall open during all breaks because it would allow her a hall officially had been opened.
"They told me there is a risk involved," she said. "But the counterpart is that they have done it in order, and they have seen that it works."
"The argument that they always present back is dollars and cents, but it must be possible to keep something
"Usually we advise them to contact people or friends, or sometimes people from the community call us and tell us they are willing to take our advice. We also help we help students stay in a motel which, monetarily, isn't desirable."
Johnston said that she had not met with any students who would be left without a place to stay but that she students toward the end of the week.
Johnston said that the office of student housing could make it more clear to international students that there are not available during vacations.
For example, a student housing brochure sent to students in other countries this year said, "Temporary housing can usually be provided at a reasonable rate to students . . . who stay during some vacation periods." Student housing since has changed the brochure, she said.
open year-round We have an obligation as host to provide that basic need."
"My impression is that it probably is not clear to someone from a foreign country whose English is not perfected," Johnston said.
