2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, October 22, 1990 GARflPlUt HA, TAMP local recycling plains By BRIAN G0LS0N . - , Staff Writer Ir a joint environmental effort, the Res jcience Hall Association and the Tar Heet Recycling Program are expanding campus recycling. The program will expand residence hall recycling to include glass and paper products, in addition to the existing aluminum recycling efforts. The plan includes placing heavy-duty garbage cans in residence hall kitchen areas to be -used as storage bins for glass and paper'products. Orange County Recy cling Services will pick up the products for recycling. Gretchan Diffendal, RHA president, said the project was a result of increasing environmental concern on the part of dormitory residents. The only cost of expanding the pro gram Iwill be buying more recycling bins,Which will be paid for by dormi tory aihd area governments. Diffendal said she thought many residence halls would participate. "Hopefully bins will be placed in every dorm," she said. Wayne Kuncl, director of University Housing, said the plan ultimately would be enacted, but was unsure how it would University Square Ptnvntown Chapel Hill 942-8711 University Mon-Fri 10-6 OPTICIANS Saturday 10-2 ' November j ' " . ........ .

Diffendal and Kuncl said they were not sure when the plan would be insti tuted, but would investigate using pilot halls as test sites for the program. University Health and Safety offi cials initially had reservations about the program because storing large amounts , of paper products in dormitories could be a potential fire hazard. But Health and Safety officials ap proved the plan with the condition that the bins be kept in dormitory kitchens because these areas have fire alarms and extinguishers, which would reduce the risk of possible hazards. Matt Dixon, governor of Olde Cam pus, said he was very excited about the program because it would make recy cling more accessible to dorm residents. "Many dorm residents have expressed a great deal of concern with recycling and the environment, and as a result of their encouragement, RHA is working to expand campus recycling," he said.

The Union's main electrical system was not affected by the flooding, he said. The Union is insured through the University, but it is unclear if Sunday's damage will be covered, Copeland said. "I hope I won't have to be interested in that," he said. An emergency cleaning crew from the University's physical plant cleaned the Union's floors, he said. "The floors were pretty slick, and it was dangerous to be walking around in there." - Billy Lewter, University plumbing supervisor, said, "It was right smart of a mess, but the janitor crew cleaned it up. Chris Derby, Carolina Dining Ser vices director, said Lenoir was closed between lunch and supper Sunday. The lack of water services prevented washing dishes, serving fountain soft drinks and preparing foods that required boiling. "We can't get a drop (of water)," he said. The break of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) tap water pipe was near chilled water pipes being installed between the Union and Davis Library by an outside contractor. Roland Burnett, OWASA crew chief, said work on the chilled water pipes contributed to Sunday 's break. "Because of all the heavy tractors and trucks that have been over this area, the mushy ground settled some and cracked the (pipe)." The chilled water line workers could not have stayed out of the area of the SSSSSS MONDAY 11 a.m.: Students For Gantt will have a table in the Pit until 2 p.m. Absentee ballot information and issues sheets available.
