On-campus apartments
switch to lottery system
Agency analyzes waste
Emergency recycling bill passed

Beginning the academic year of
1991-92, the Seaver Apartments
will be awarded to students based
on a lottery system.
In the past,
students who
lived in one
of the 75
apartments
generally
stayed there
because of
squatters'
rights. The
students who
moved out
did so be¬
cause they
wanted to live off campus or they
graduated.
The Residential Life Office has
decided to implement a lottery
system to give every student an
equal opportunity to live in the
apartments.
Share Program students, those
who work 40 hours per week for
the university in addition to taking
classes, will be moved from their
arrangements in the apartments to
the law school apartments.
“It seems fair to those who don’t
already live in the apartments, but
it doesn’t seem fair because I
waited so long and just got in this
year," said Blake Hunnicutt, junior
business major.
Jim Brock, housing director,
said, “We wanted to create a
system that was as fair as possible
to all of the students who still have
to be a junior or 21 years old to
move into the apartments.”
With the new lottery system,
students will select their room¬
mates before they sign up for the
lottery.
After each group of roommates
fills out the necessary forms, they
will be given a number. These will
then be drawn and matched with
one of the 75 apartment numbers.

Research technicians working in
conjunction with the Environmental
Protection Agency analyzed garbage
Feb. 12 to determine the amount and
types of recyclable waste on
Pepperdine’s campus.
“We are taking samples (of the
garbage) to prioritize so the campus
can make a plan to recycle the things
of the greatest tonnage,” said Russ
Mills, project manager of Ecosource,
a non-profit environmental task force
funded by the EPA. “Everyone right
now is recycling glass, for example,
when there might be more plastic to
recycle, and then the campus can
switch gears.”
The results will provide the data
necessary to develop a recycling plan
as mandated by the new California
Assembly Bill 939, which is an
“emergency recycling bill,” Mills
said.
The bill requires state municipali¬
ties to develop a plan that will
recycle 25 percent of its waste by
1995 and 50 percent by 2000.
Penalties for not complying with the
bill include a $1000 per day fine.
“They want the municipalities to
know how serious they are,” Mills
said.
The research group analyzed waste
in garbage bins in the Rho lot,
Upsilon lot, cafeteria and Thornton
Administration Center as well as
bins of 35 businesses in Malibu.
“The businesses were broken into
business type so that we could get a
representative cross section of
Malibu,” Mills said.
Other members of the research
group included Alex Thomas,
Stephan Clipper and Brooke Davie
of Ecosource, Andrew Oslar of
Arthur Anderson and Co. and Ann
Ferguson of the Recycling Consult¬
ants of California.
“At least this is providing people
who always wanted to recycle an
opportunity to,” Ferguson said.
“Waste haulers within the city are
going to have to offer recycling
alternatives to their clients.”
Freedom Wall
revived in
Adamson Plaza

The Young Democrats club has
reinstated the Freedom Wall, a space
in Adamson Plaza for students’
written and artistic political com¬
ments.
“We feel an outlet for free speech
was needed on this campus,” said
David Bromley, Young Democrats
president.
The Young Democrats originated
the Freedom Wall, and through the
approval of Bob White, Campus Life
director, it was renovated last week.
“The idea is to promote a discus¬
sion of campus issues as well as
current economic, social and political
issues,” said Blakely Latham, Young
Democrats vice president
Only three rules govern what can
be posted on the wall: no profanity or
pornography is allowed, all material
must be dated and nothing may
exceed the nine-square-foot bound¬
ary of the walL
