total.
They will put in 500 hours of
sweat equity,” in exchange for a in
terest free, non-profit, 20-year
mortgage, Bill Baggs, AAHfH
Chair said.
This means that although
AAHfH provides the materials and
labor for a house, the recipients of
the goods will still work along with
the volunteers, and they will then
make monthly payments of around
$160.
The 500 labor hours isn’t usually
completed at one site, and Barbara
Lumpkin said that more than
likely, after completion of their
home, they’ll still have several
hours to finish.
“Well just work on somebody
else’s house,” she said.
A committee chooses families
based on need, character and
ability to pay, Baggs said. Families
must have employement, and show
respect for the property, he said.
Habitat for Humanity Interna
tional began eight years ago, and
its headquarters is in Americus.
The Athens chapter was launched
three years ago.
“In the middle of 1988, when the
fundraising walk came through
town, is when we all came on
board," Baggs said.
The 1,200 mile walk began in
Portland, Oregon, and ended in At
lanta. He said that they came and
broke ground for the first Habitat
house.
“We have 500 to 600 people on
our mailing list, and in our meet
ings, we have 30 to 40 members,”
Baggs said. “We’re always looking
for volunteers."
There’s also a student group,
which is scouting for volunteers.
This summer, there are only about
six active members.
“For the summer we’ve beeen
running on a minimum crew,” Eliz-
abeth Britton, president of the stu
dent organization said. “If we get a
lot of people in the fall we could
have a main core group. The
problem we have right now is to
keep students interested.”
Britton has worked with Habitat
for about one and a half years, and
just returned from the Jimmy
Carter Work Project in Tijuana.
“We don’t give anything to them,
but an opportunity,” she said. “It’s
not a freebie.”
We’re planning two fundraisers,
and hope to have three days of con
certs," she said. “Our meetings will
be the fourth Thursday of each
month.”
The student group plans to work
along with the Athens chapter on
various work projects, like the
Lumpkin’s home, Britton said.
A completion date for the Lump
kin’s house hasn’t been set. How
ever, a Thanksgiving or Christmas
date would be nice, Baggs said.
*This project has been underway
about a month” he said. “It’ll take
three or four months."
“I’m just looking forward to
when the house is finished,” Bar
bara Lumpkin said. “I’m hoping
it’ll be before November, but they
said it’s just too soon to tell.”
The AAHfH also has Small Pro
ject Groups, in which Habitat vol
unteers offer 75 hours, to existing
housing, which is in need of repair.
These projects stem from roofing
to electrical rewiring, to any other
pressing project. Only labor is pro
vided, the materials are provided
by the family in need.
“At this moment we’ve got two
projects going on," Rosemary
Wood, chairman of the SPG, said.
“We need project leaders more
than anything."

The state of Georgia has re
quired immunization for students
in the public school system but it
has not been extended to the col
lege level.
“As for now it is up to the indi
vidual to get their shots. The
health center always advises pa
tients to get immunized,” Winship
said.
Recycling program is here to stay
By PATRICK FLANIGAN
Staff Writer
After testing the water the Uni
versity’s recycling program is here
to stay.
A University-wide recycling pro
gram has been implemented based
on the findings of a special task
force appointed by President
Charles Knapp in December to
adopt a method of recycling solid
waste, said Chip Semerjain, assis
tant director of Physical Plant
“ It’s a worthwhile project and
we’re dedicated to it," he said.
The program is still in its initial
stage and the first goal is to recycle
office type paper — termed office
file —on a University level, said
Tom Sartain, Head of Building
Services and the newly appointed
Recycling Coordinator.
To accomplish the first goal, of
fice file recycling stations are now
located in all campus buildings to
collect the paper refuse, which Sar
tain estimated as “65 percent of
our waste."
The stations consist of boxes,
provided by Physical Plant, placed
in each office and a central box on
each floor, Sartain said.
The decision to expand this type
of paper was based on a trial recy
cling program in February in order
to determine which recyclable
items would have the most partici
pation and volume.
Stations were placed in 12
campus buildings and three dor-
matories for glass, aluminum and
paper.
The stations were monitered for
one month and 21,568 pounds of
paper was recovered.
That’s an average of 1,080
pounds per day,” Sartain said.
Conversely, 92 pounds of Alu
minum and 296 pounds of glass
was recovered. Glass and alu
minum can still be recycled on a
voluntary basis, by use of the des
ignated sites at the Pharmacy
building and Candler Hall, Sartain
said, but paper is picked up at each
building by Choice Waste, a waste
management company contracted
by the University.
“You have to remember that
glass is heavier than aluminum,”
Sartain said. “So this isn’t an indi
cation of actual units recovered,
there may have been just as many
cans as bottles.”
Glass and aluminum is cur
rently delivered by Physical Plant
staff to the Athens Recycling Cor
poration.
Sartain hopes to expand the pro
gram to include other papers —car
dboard, newsprint and carbon
paper —and plastic.
To do this he must waste man
agement companies which deal in
these items.
“ There is a glut in the market
for some of this stufT,” he said. “
And it's hard to get somebody to
take it Let alone buy it”
Sartain said his next priority is
to find someone to handle the
newsprint because it is currently
disposed of as trash despite the se-
perate disposal units located on
campus.
Sartain coordinates recycling for
the University, but each of the 150
buildings on campus has its own
coordinator.
These people are the backbone
of the program,"Sartain said.
The building coordinators are
volunteers. Their duties consist of
ensuring that the stations only re
ceive the proper waste materials
and all the waste in the building is
centralized and ready for pickup.
