UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Friday, December 6, 1996 5A Recycling on campus continues to improve Advisory board could help gain public support By Dave Breitenstein Kansan staff writer To recycle, the University of Kansas had to buy something new. Victoria Silva was hired for $30,000 in July to improve the University's recycling and waste reduction programs. Even though the University had implemented a hiring freeze, money was allocated to finance the job. Since she has been here, strides have been made in creating an environmentally friendly campus. "All of this awareness and attention has helped the level of activity on campus," Silva said. "We've made progress on campus in terms of recycling. There are more departments that are separating and recycling office paper now." The department of environmental health and safety last week was approved to receive $5,280 from the educational opportunity fund, which will finance one part-time student to focus on newspaper recycling. Silva said the biggest difficulty had been getting students, faculty and staff to commit and participate in the programs. Administration has been supportive of all environmental issues that have been raised this semester, she said. "The administration was in tune with the environment when I arrived, which is why they funded my position," she said. "I've begun to understand their level of commitment." Provost David Shulenburger has met with Silva during the semester to discuss environmental goals and the year's agenda. He said that there had not been any changes in the budget to allocate more money for environmental programs, but money had been transferred from other funds. Additional funding is one way that administration has shown support for Silva and her programs. "I have lots of respect for what she's doing," Shulenburger said. "She's only been here for about six months, but in time things will get much better." While Silva said that administration supported the crusade for a better campus, she had not seen any members of administration "We've made progress on campus in terms of recycling." Victoria Silva Environmental Specialist attending KU Environs meetings or the Student Environmental Advisory Board meetings. However, it does not stem from a lack She cited time constraints as a reason why administration did not attend all meetings. Also, the groups were just formed and have held only a few meetings. One of the new groups is the Student Environmental Advisory Board, and Silva said that she had high expectations for the group. "Our goal is to try to work the student advisory board in getting out public education filers and address public education on campus as a whole," she said. "We need to assess if we need a comprehensive program that handles a lot of different materials."
