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.

Construction continues at the new Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station that is scheduied to open in July. 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."
