ASUO student
elections are coming
we want all of you to
IN BRIEF
ASUO extends PFC's
budget deadline again
Student groups must wait even
longer to learn their budgets for
next year after the ASUO Student
Senate on Wednesday further ex
tended the deadline for the Pro
grams Finance Committee to submit
its budget proposal.
An accounting error has prevent
ed committee members from verify
ing the PFC’s budget, Senator
Michael Sherman said. He said PFC
members have been working to
correct a roughly $900 discrepancy
between the figure the PFC finalized
on Friday and calculations members
have completed since then.
The PFC must now submit its
budget by March 18 in order for
Senators to hear it on March 30. The
budget must be submitted to Uni
versity President Dave Frohnmayer
by March 31.
ASUO Vice President Mena
Ravassipour said the ASUO Execu
tive is lobbying Frohnmayer to ex
tend the deadline.
Also at the meeting, Senators ap
proved $2,175 of surplus funds for
groups’ special requests.

Recycling: Competition
divided into weight, rate
Continued from page 1
about what I’m throwing away and
think about whether it can be recy
cled,” Mann said. He also said
RHAs in Carson Hall were going
door to door to remind students
about the competition.
Freshman Elizabeth White said
residents are talking about the effort.
“I think it’s been working,” she
said. “There are brochures on the ta
bles and the word is getting out. I
think it’s pretty awesome. ”
RecycleMania is currently in its
fifth year. Miami University started
the competition in 2001 as a way to
promote its own recycling program.
There are two competition types.
The Per-Capita Classic competition
is based on the weight of material
recycled per student living in resi
dence halls and using the dining
halls. The second is the Recycling
Rate competition that compares the
amount of recycled material to the
amount of disposed trash. The Uni
versity is participating in the Per
Capita Classic.
Weight is recorded based on
55-gallon drums. Each drum has a set
weight based on the materials inside.
A record of every drum recycled is
recorded and submitted at the end of
each week.
Hathcock said the University has
made recycling a priority throughout
the year, not just during RecycleMa
nia. She said the amount of material
recycled is up slightly because of this
contest, but the University has a
strong year-round program. She
added that this is not only good for
the University but for the planet.
A study by the University of
Massachusetts Amherst showed the
energy savings from recycling one
aluminum can could run a televi
sion for three hours. Each ton of re
cycled paper saves 17 trees,
7,000 gallons of water and prevents
60 pounds of air pollution from
reaching the skies. One ton of glass
made of 50 percent recycled materi
al saves 250 pounds of mining
waste, according to the study.
Hathcock said it is important to get
the word out and make an effort to
think about what is thrown away.
“It makes a difference if a resident
is choosing to recycle when they
might not before,” Hathcock said.

EPD: Recommendations to
develop into 'action plans'
V/UI III! IUCU IIUIII page i
the first place.
Taylor explained that background
investigation and psychological and
polygraph examinations are all im
portant parts of the hiring process.
“Without those three components,
you can’t get as complete a picture of
the applicant as you could if you had
all of the information,” Taylor said.
“Out of crisis comes opportuni
ty,” Police Chief Robert Lehner said
“It gave us the opportunity to look
at this system from top to bottom.”
Lehner said the convicted officers
were not discovered on his force
sooner because they were “re
hearsed at these kinds of crimes.”
“In Magana’s case in particular,
the crimes that were committed
were committed against victims that
were somewhat carefully selected
by him, that he knew probably
would not complain,” he said.
Dr. Tory Caeti, director of
management services at PERF, fur
ther emphasized that the weakest
part of the entire system was the
“lack of coordination” between the
human resources department and
the police department.
Other recommendations included
having sergeants spend more time
on the streets developing their offi
cers, establishing an intake process
and coding of complaints, and be
ing mindful not to overlook the in
ternal assessment following crimi
nal investigations into complaints.
i ne groups aiso recommended tnat
supervisors go over all aspects of
performance with employees during
an evaluation and regularly update
employees of their expectations and
job performance.
“The commitment we made to
day is that these won’t just be
strategic plans laying on a shelf, but
actually be action plans that will
guide work that we will accom
plish,” Taylor said. “They’re going
to take some time, they’re going to
take some resources and they’re go
ing to take keeping this a priority
over time.”
In the memo, Taylor said he has
directed Lehner, Human Resources
and Risk Services Director Lauren
Chouinard, and other city staff to
provide him with a plan of action
and timeline by May 1 for imple
menting the recommendations
made in the report. He also said the
plan “will incorporate ongoing work
by the Police Commission and input
from our community members and
the public.”
The final report did not cover all
concerns about the EPD.
“There are some other questions
that were raised about going back at
looking at why the three (qualified)
black applicants in the past two
years weren’t hired,” Lehner said.
“That’s something that we obvious
ly still need to look at.”
