funding Smith said and the committee was asked to develop alternatives to obtain the remaining $10000 In addition tw this year's needs the committee is hunting for sources of future funding The committee batted around ideas from charging more for ranging parking decals to charging only those who use the shuttle facility Those ideas are still preliminary and would have to go through various other committees before actually being used as funding sources Committee members informally agreed that forcing students to purchase a bus ticket to ride would only discourage use of the system To a lesser degree they came to the same conclusion for a suggestion of higher parking fees for the stadium parking Another suggestion aired was to charge Conferences and Institute Division a parking fee for visitors as those visitors park free now The cost of the shuttle is estimated to be almost $30000 for the academic year The business office of the university believes it has found funding for ail but $10000 of that for this year and requested the parking committee work to uncover funding for that final third The committee decided to postpone making its recommenda-tion- s until the university

aluminium Students however demand more Pepsi than Coke Jim Whitelock spokesman for the Ogden plant which bottles Pepsi attributed the change to a loss in raw aluminium supplies about a a USU is sacrificing energy with every Pepsi or consumed says A1 Schlundt of the USU Recycling Center Recognition of this problem surfaced recently at a display set up by the center University members were given a chance to differentiate between steel beverage cans and steel-canne- d p their more readily recyclable aluminium cousins Most students failed that test Many had to be shown with a magnet before they would believe and some were surprised that the new thin seamless steel cans arriv- ed without their knowledge Schlundt the principal force behind the display has been with USU’s Recycling Center since its birth last year and is concerned about the switch in materials "I wish that we (the recycling center) did not have to be here that we could switch back to returnable bottles" Schlundt said Failing that Schlundt said that aluminium is preferable to steel because it has a lower melting point and takes less energy to recycle He has requested that the Academic Senate pass a resolution to return the campus to an all aluminium basis Schlundt also initiated a petition to that effect The change to steel came when Pepsi-Coland began using only steel cans according to Gary a year ago rather than to any significant difference in cost between the two materials experienced the same disruption in materials p Although this d p ducts through the Salt Lake source He was unaware of steel recycling facilities in Utah “We would rather (use aluminium) if it got right down to recycling but these contracts are set up we can't back out of them" Whitelock went on to illustrate some of the virtues of steel cans saying that the "bad taste" of 'teel was overcome when an advance in technology did away with the soldered seam and that steel cans puncture aluminium less easily than Perhaps the greatest advantage of steel Whitelock said is that “aluminium doesn't stack as high" USU enrollment EnrollMent increased aluminium-canne- Pepsi products are available in Salt Lake the Ogden plant
