There are many things students will need their UCard for, so it is important to keep it on hand at all times while at the U. t.pasamehmetoglu@ chronicle.utah.edu Kendal Angell STAFF WRITER UBike is a new bike rental program at the U that allows students, faculty and staff to rent new and used bikes for free at the Union. Each rental lasts up to two weeks, providing an alternative way to get around campus without having to spend money. To use UBike, students must bring a working bike lock and fill out a three-year liability waiver at the Union Services desk. Students will be given a numbered bike tag, which they can take to the UBike shop—located on the Union patio—and will be given a bike. Then all students have to do is return the able online. The choice of sponsoring a bike for $400 is also available, in which sponsors can "name" a bicycle after themselves, a business, or anything else. The program is also looking for donations of any old and used bicycles, which UBike will pick up and refurbish to get them ready for free UBike rental. k.angell@chronicle.utah.edu Help reduce the U's carbon footprint Follow us on Twitter! itte:r ca-vniTheCltwawy Josh Bennett ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Interested in Nutrition?

The new program was chosen by the class of 2009 as its senior class gift, and it is looking for support to get the program up and running. In order to help bring more bikes to campus, there are three ways to contribute. An option to make individual donations of $20.09 is avail- To save resources, students can recycle paper, aluminum and plastics in every building on campus. "Students with scrap paper, empty cans and used plastics can help reduce the carbon footprint at the U by using recycling receptacles around campus," said Joshua James, recycling coordinator. "Recycling is important," he said. "It's important to save other resources that go into making paper. It saves trees and cuts down (carbon-dioxide) emissions. It also preserves resources like water. Water can become a problem in the future, so (recycling) helps us conserve water, which can be used for more important things, like drinking." The U recycles more than just what is put into the receptacles. Pallets, scrap metals and cardboard are all items the U recycles. Across campus, students can find cardboard trailers for outof-use cardboard—something the U recycles a large amount of, James said. The U participates in RecycleMania, a nationwide recycling competition among colleges. "The U has done better every year," James said. "This last year, we beat BYU for the first time and placed 70th. Our goal is to break the top 5o this year." Anyone looking to learn more about recycling can visit the University Recycling Program at the Facilities Management's website: www.facilities.utah.edu . The site helps educate potential recyclers on what is and is not acceptable. j.bennett@ chronicle.utah.edu How tiU c recyClis Idle item receptacle n rage recycling in tailgatiao-a -r •Do not place unrecyclable items in rec •Visit the recycling website. •Keep food-stained items out of rec tacles. •Instead of throwing away paper, recycle it.

The library houses about 3 million volumes—a number that doesn't include the large amount of journals, maps and online research materials.

"We are always shocked to discover students don't know about the assistance we can provide for them."

Also on the first floor, students will find various classrooms and study booths for working and relaxation.
