Recycling efforts increasing in dorms
By ANNE-MARIE FANGUY
Staff Writer
Residence hall recycling is on the rise and
is spreading quickly, Eugene Luna, assis
tant director of housing, said.
“I think the entire Colonial (community)
area, as well os the entire student housing
program, will become involved in it," he said.
Debbie Klein, a sophomore music therapy
rn^jor, is proof of this. She said that when
she became a resident assistant in Brumby
Hall fall quarter, one of her goals was to
show her residents the importance of recy
cling.
“I thought it would be a good way to edu
cate them,” she said.
“It’s good practice, because in the future
we’re going to have to recycle.”
Although many residence halls have bins
for aluminum cans, Klein’s efforts go beyond
casual interest Since she began, the project
has expanded to include aluminum cans,
newspapers and cardboard.
Klein said an average two-week collection
of aluminum cans is about 10 pounds and on
one delivery 1 , the hall had collected 100
pounds of paper.
Klein also nelped research information on
recycling and tne environment for bulletin
boards in Colonial residence hall lobbies.
Klein said she’s gotten “tremendous sup
port" from her residents.
‘They’re amazing. They do it on their
own."
However, it will be up to the University’s
task force on recycling to develop a complete
program for residence halls and the entire
University, Luna said.
“I think the end result will be within the
framework of the Univertit/e efTort towards
recycling," he said.
Klein said she would like to see desig
nated areas in residence halls for recycling.
,' lt would be great if a place on each hall
could be set up. There’s really not a place
and it would make it a lot easier for people to
remember.
Klein said she learned the value of recy
cling at an early age when her mother was
involved in it.
‘When I was young I thought it was a
waste o(time, but when I took ecology as a
senior in high school, I realized it wasn’t a
choice but something imperative," she said.
Kim Mitchener, a freshman in pre-med
and one of Klein’s residents, said the experi
ence was totally new to her, but she's behind
it.
“Nobody ever complains. This has opened
up something completely new,” she said.
Visitors on the hall sometimes question
the recycling efTort, Mitchener said.
‘They think that it would be a chore and
that we don’t really like doing it. But it
makes you feel good,” Mitchener said.
“I can’t throw anything away now," she
said. “I went home for spring break and saw
my mom throwing cans away, so I dug them
out of the trash."
Cassandra Mercer, a freshman computer
science major, said Klein “keeps everyone in
terested in current issues."
She said Klein has always encouraged her
residents to boycott styrofoam and other
products harmful to the environment.
