Audit of dorms could save energy, money
By MF.I.ISSA JORDAN
■Man* Black Wall Wrllaf
An energy audit of all University
residence halls being conducted by an
Atlanta consulting firm will find ways
to “lower energy costs and save
students some money,” according to
Doug Wilson, vice president of
Facilities Management Consultants
The project is the last phase of a
Federal program started by the U S
Department of Energy during the
Carter administration to encourage
energy conservation, Wilson said
The Federal Energy Grant Program
for schools, hospitals and universities
accepts grant applications from institu
tions across the nation Grants are
awarded on a competitive basis depen
ding on the amount and type of energy
that will be saved, he added.
“For example, it is better to save fuel
oil than electrically generated energy
The amount of payback is also taken in
to consideration," Wilson said
Although University officials have
considered implementing energy-
conservation measures in the dorms for
some time, they were not sure if ade
quate funding would be available
because of budget cuts within the
Energy Department, said Dan
Hallenbeck, direct of University Hous
ing.
The firm's investigation consists of
three parts: an energy audit, a
technical analysis and an energy con
servation project "We go in, look at
things like the air conditioning system,
lighting and insulation, and submit our
findings to the director of housing,
‘If we come up
with even a few
energy-saving
measures,
it will be
worthwhile.’
— Hallenbeck
Physical Plant, and the governor’s of
fice for consideration,” Wilson said.
"They will then decide which
measures they would like to implement
and submit an application for a federal
grant for the amount of money need
ed,” he said
Hallenbeck said some minor pro
grams are already in operation, such as
encouraging students to turn off un
necessary lights, installing water
saving shower heads, and changing
from incandescent to fluorescent
lighting.
The audit will recommend more
technical procedures, Hallenbeck said
“The firm will measure the square
footage of the residence halls and study
readings from water, electrical and gas
meters to determine how much our
energy consumption is,” he said
"As you look at the energy field, you
realize we re using a lot. Any time you
drive by the dorms you see many lights
on We probably use millions of gallons
of water each year, with all the showers
being taken and toilets being flushed If
we're able to come up with even a few
energy-saving measures, it will be
worth-while," Hallenbeck said
Wilson said his firm is "right in the
middle" of the audit, and therefore can
not disclose specific recommendatins
at present.
He suggested some measures that
may possibly be implemented,
however, such as more efficient lights,
expanded use of an energy-
management computer, and solar
heating systems
“New technology has enabled us to do
many things now that we couldn't do in
the pest. For example, we may recom
mend the installation of micro
processors to control energy systems in
buildings," Wilson said.
Hallenbeck said a probable change
would be integrating Oglethorpe
House s energy system with the Univer
sity's electrical line. Right now the
dorm is not on the same line as the
University's. The change would cut
costs, though not necessarily decrease
energy consumption, Physical Plant
Director Ken Jordan said.
Hallenbeck said the deadline for the
firm's report was May 1, so the
measures to be implemented and their
cost should be determined by next
month.

Claiming that Clarke
County voters have had no
choice over who represents
them in the state legislature,
Athens League of Women
Voters President
Marguerite Holmes this
week announced her plans to
run for state representative
of the newly created House
District 68
The seat, formerly District
63, is now held by Rep Bob
Argo, D-Athens, who ran un
contested in the last election.
The new district is the pro-
Gorrection
Friday’s edition of Con
nections incorrectly
reported that the Side Ef
fects would play tonight at
the Bluebird Cafe The Side
Effects will actually play the
Bluebird April 28.

duct of the legislature's
reapportionment based on
1980 census figures. The
boundaries are basically the
same as those of district 63
Holmes, 40, said her deci
sion to run for the seat grew
out of her extensive involve
ment in community and
state affairs, primarily with
the League of Women
Voters. She will battle Argo
for the Democratic nomina
tion in the Aug. 10 primary
election.
She said she did not decide
to challenge Argo because he
voted against the Equal
Rights Amendment in
January
“If I had been in the
legislature I would have
voted differently, but I have
been active in politics and
have tried to get other people
involved,” she said. “I just
decided that I should be
practicing what I preach
ed.”
She said she would be "ac
tively available and highly
accessible" to her consti
tuents and would give up her
job and go to community
organizations in order to
keep in tune with the
residents.
“We cannot afford politics
as usual in these difficult
times of political and
economic transition," she
said.
She said her relationship
with her constituents would
be “a partnership” in which
she would be responsive to
the voters’ need both during
the elections and between
them.
She said she considered
the University as much her
constituency as the rest of
Clarke County.
Despite her lack of ex
perience in formal politics,
Holmes said the league has
taught hei much.
"I feel I can work well with
people even if I don’t agree
with them," she said.
Holmes refuses to com
ment on Argo until he an
nounces whether he plans to
run for re-election. She said,
however, that she does not
plan to run a “negative cam
paign.”
The only other candidate
running for the same House
seat is Gregg Jocoy, who will
not participate in the August
primary, since he is running
as a Citizens Party can
didate.

April showers may bring May flowers, but
one young lady didn't wait until next month
to pick her spring bouquet. Six-year-old
Jennifer Rawlings, of Fayetteville, came
with her parents to see the high-school
science fair at the Coliseum last week, but
was temporarily distracted by the dan
delions on the Coliseum grounds. And while
the building’s groundskeepers might think
them irksome weeds, to a six-year-old’s
mother they were sweet as roses.
