New Heights Reached in
Recycling Styrofoam
Many people use styrofoam for much of their packaging
because it is so lightweight. However, that also makes it
incredibly hard to recycle. Fortunately, this can be done with
the right equipment. The University of Illinois has launched
their Institute for Sustainability, Energy and Environment (or
iSEE) on their Urbana-Champaign campus. This program
allows them to collect the plastic foam from students and
teachers via a 4-foot-square metal wire collection bin and
then put it into a densifier. This machine grinds up the foam
into little beads that are then ejected into dense tubes, which
are then sold. A similar process has been in use at Texas
Tech in Lubbock for the past three years, where they have
been using an XT-70 densifier to process the foam and mold
it into various shapes, including the state of Texas. Melanie
Tatum, the assistant director of housing, says, "The first year
we collected the equivalent of 272 cubic yards of foam." The
hope is that more campuses across the nation will follow suit.

No matter if data collection is limited or
pervasive, residence life departments must
consider the ethical implications of data
collection and assessment.
For more information about the ethics of assessment, see the feature on p. 46.

"
Bridging the Gap is the
new Rutgers UniversityCamden tuition
assistance program
making good waves
on this New Jersey
campus. Depending on
a New Jersey family's
income, the program
covers 100 percent
or 50 percent of the
balance of tuition left
after federal and state
grants have been
applied. This has
brought about 240
additional first-year
students to campus
who may not otherwise
have been able to
attend or to live on
campus. Traditionally,
Rutgers has a lot of
transfer students. Now,
according to Debbie
Scheibler, assistant
director of housing and
residence life, "Our
first-year spaces are
fully occupied, and we
have seen an increase
in traditional-age
residential students.
Bridging the Gap is
really changing the
game for our campus
in regards to student
needs, developmental
stages, and life
experiences prior to
attending. It's exciting
to say the least."
