An RHA spokesperson said, "Housing is living up to its reputation for promoting the feeling of community at the University." RHA President Becky Lawrence. an LSA junior, said, "I really think expected Housing is receptive to students. Although there was no instant change, I think they recognized they should have had student input in making the policy in the first place." She said administrators noted that students they worked with were very "open-minded" about housing's position and responsibilities. By CARRIE LORANGER Bundle those old papers, bag those bottles, and crush those cans. The University Recycling Club wants them. Shereen Rothman, LSA senior and club founder, is hoping to have a contest between fraternities and sororities to see which house can save the most newspapers and pizza boxes. "The house that saves the most will win some amount of money, say $1,000, to be donated to a charity," Rothman said. Rothman originally became interested in recycling on campus after an internship with the Anti Arbor Ecology Center last semester. "I saw a lot of recyclable resources on campus going to waste," she said. The money award will come directly out of the Ecology Center's increased profits. According to Rothman, the group will focus on residence halls, cooperatives, off-campus housing, computer centers, and other academic departments, in addition to fraternities and sororities. She said that because the Greek system contributes heavily to different charities, she can see no reason why they would not want to participate. "Especially when they see how easy it really is," added Rothman. The club will be giving demonstrations to sorority and fraternity representatives on how to preparematerials for recycling so that each house will have one person in charge of saving materials, said Rothman. Brian Weinert, who coordinates the recycling program at the Ecology Center, said the center will be aiding the University Recycling Rea Uibe Daft4 C~a~aiUREd Club by making monthly pick-ups on campus and helping to coordinate information programs on recycling. Weinert said starting recycling on campus will make students more aware of the ecological advantages of reusing materials instead of throwing them away. Recycling is something that people can do wherever they are, he said, and he hopes that for some it will become a way of life. "Newspapers are definetely the most popular recycleable resource in Ann Arbor," said Weinert. Newspapers are put into 1,500 pound bundles at the Ecology Center and then are sent to Chicago where a mill de-inks and then re- processes them to be formed into reusable newsprint. The Ecology Center also accepts tin and aluminum with labels removed, white or colored office paper, oil, car batteries, gray cardboard boxes, and white, green and brown glass containers. The Ecology Center has a drop off station at 2050 S. Industrial Street which is open from 9:30 until 4:30 Fridays and Saturdays. It also have a pick-up service once a month. Ken Westlake, of the Environ- mental Protection Agency in Chicago, stressed the importance of environmental preservation through recycling. "It is an issue of the depletion of scarce resources, such as iron ore and landfill space," he said. The EPA has just released Rothman ...starts 'U' recyclingclub recycling statistics from 1984, showing that 42 percent of all recycleable waste is paper and cardboard, nine percent glass, nine percent metal, and nine percent petroleum products. D D support the March of Dimesr -BIRTH DEFECTS FOUNDATION Panel tackles political dissent (Continued from Page 1) ,And students. Councilmembers decided Friday to utilize "objective observers" -from the council and the Univer- 'ity's Civil Liberties Board to eport infractions of the proposed guidelines. The council has yet to determine, though, how to punish -nfractions of the guidelines. It is considering academic sanctions for students and official reprimands for administrators and faculty. 'Our main concern is to rhake sUre that the system isn't abused," said David Newblatt, a student t thember of the board. The council has been debating since September the rights and .limits of protester- the second phase of its effort to write a code of non-academic student conduct. Last spring, the panel released a discus- sion draft on how the University should punish violent crimes. BLOOM COUNTY 'I -c f Watch for it in The council has also progressed in its effort to stabilize a fluc- tuating membership. History pro- fessor Shaw Livermore was quickly appointed as the council's new co- chair after the early resignation of Prof. Donald Rucknagel. Members had feared that Ruck- nagel's resignation would further hinder progress toward a code. University administrators have expressed impatience with the panel's slow pace for more than a year. In addition, the council has also appointed new faculty and student members. After finishing its debate, the council plans to send a code draft to the University President, Board of Regents, faculty senate, and Michigan Student Assembly for approval. All are required to approve a code before it can be implemented. Despite significant progress toward a code, students and University administrators have never resolved their fundamental dispute over the need for a code to supplement the civil court system. The couqcil has been trying to forge a 'mpromise since October of 1984.
