Community
Encouraged to
Recycle
by Trixtti Sduigal
As various boxes labeled “ GLASS
“PLASTIC" , & “NEWSPAPER “ begin to
overflow in residence hall parlors, one might
wonder where the refuse goes. The majority
of these boxes must be emptied by willing
students.
Unfortunately, office paper is the only
material that is officially recycled at
Meredith. Several green bins have been
placed around campus that are strictly for this

Election Results
In
by Gilda Boyd
As Meredith begins another year of
fun, excitement and memories, the Class of
1995 also begins to get into the swing of
things. One of the first freshman privileges
is the chance to elect the class officers.
Much has been done to psych the
freshmen up for the elections and the upcom'
ing year. TTiere have been two workshops
for elections: one on August 28th and an
other on August 30th. In these workshops,
essential to put them to good use.
The aluminum that is accumulated is
generally disposed of by the housekeeping
staff, but newspaper, glass, and plastic must
be recycled by the students. According to
Charles Taylor, Vice president of Business &
Finance, “Meredith College does not have
the resources to engage in a sophisticated
recycling program. They do, however,
strongly encourage students to tie in with city
programs.”
A small but enthusiastic group has
been formed here on campus called
STREAM- students Toward Recycling and
Environmental Awareness at Meredith.
Besides awareness programs and various
other activities, STREAM is considering a
collective recycling carpool. In order to
make this a success, STREAM needs the
students support. Anyone interested may call
the president, Patricia Sikes, at 829-7887.
The next meeting will be Tuesday, Septem
ber 24 in the Chapel Commons room at 7:00
pm.

In preparation for voting, many steps
were taken to assure accuracy and fairness in
the elections. First, there was a filing form
that was to be filled out by each candidate
and turned in on Thursday, September 5th, at
the filing box located in Cate Center. Thirty-
five people filed for offices. On Monday,
September 9th, speeches were held in the
Chapel during Insight 101. Here, the fresh
men were able to view the competition and
choose their favorite candidate. On the same
day, the filing cards were placed in the
Dining Hall, and voting took place curing
lunch and dinner.
Elections Board Chair Sara Raynor
