MCARD
Continued from page 1
"Over time (Entr6e Plus) became so
limited that we didn't feel that was what
we wanted. This is a card that will be
used by faculty, staff and students,"
Womack said. "Eventually we will see
this as a program that would have stu-
dents carrying only one piece of plas-
tic."
The Mcard will come with the option
to link a BankStripe on the identification
card to a student's checking account at
First of America banks. The BankStripe
will allow the card to function with ATM
and credit card features that surpass the
$50 on the computer chip.
While the University has signed a
three-year contract with First of America,
Womack said he hopes other banks will
join the program.
"In time we would like to find a way
that the bank is not a singular one," he said.

there is only paper recycling in the resi-
dence hall closets.
The dorm rooms will also be involved
in the changes. "We are in the process of
working with housing facilities to plan and
implement a pilot program to provide an
individual recycling crate in each
resident's room. This will facilitate the
sorting of recyclables in student's rooms.
They are now only provided with trash
cans," Spiegel said.
Recycle Ann Arbor, the non-profit
organization that now provides a drop-off
station and processing plant for Ann
Arbor's recycling will be closing follow-
ing the opening of the new facility, said
Brian Weinert, Resource and Recovery
director of Ann Arbor.
"The facility is an outgrowth of the
environmental bond approved in 1989
by residents of Ann Arbor," he said.
Of the $28 million bond, $5.4 million
is for the construction of the Material
Recovery Facility and Transfer Station.
The Waste and Management Ser-
vices will still collect and drop off mate-
rials, but they will be brought to the new
facility instead.
The Grounds and Waste Management*
Services reported that the University has a
23-percent rate of recycling, with staff
membersand custodians as the majority of
recycling participants.
The department is hopeful that these
changes will increase student participa-
tion. "I think it will," said Yvette Suarez,
an LSA junior. "People are really lazy, but
if it's there for them, they'll be more in-
clinedtouse it."
