Recycling Center Adviser Jim Schuster said the center's presentation at Wednesday's AS Board of Directors meeting was "basically to inform the board of the problems we're having in recycling." He said the center now can discuss with the board what might be a variety of problems requiring a variety of solutions. The ASRC's financial strain began in February when Bel-lingham pulp manufacturer Georgia-Pacific closed its doors to recyclable paper. Since then, the recycling center has had to hand-sort recyclable paper and deliver to more distant markets. Increased labor and transportation costs are compounded by the loss of revenues from Georgia-Pacific who paid the center twice the market price for recyclable paper. According to a proposal researched and written by ASRC Operations Manager Jeff Brown, "staff size has tripled, the tonnage quadrupled, the service area tripled and equipment overhead has doubled (for the ASRC) since the mid 70s." The proposal offers three options. The first option creates a half-time positio/i for a professional non-student manager at a salary of $ 12,000 a year. This manager would share operational responsibilities with the coordinator and operations manager, and devote time to marketing and financial problems ASRC Coordinator Carla Bartlett said. The second option would be a half-time non-student program assistant who would share responsibilities with one of the AS advisors or another full-time employee. This position would cost SI0.500. The final option of the proposal would be to create more levels of student management at the ASRC. This would require funding of $6,000 to $8,000 per year for three positions. Bartlett said the first option was favored by the AS Facilities and Services Council when it reviewed the proposal recently. Currently, Bartlett and Brown each work 40 hours per week despite fixed salaries and a job description listing only 1.5- to 19- hours per week. Both are full-time students. Brown will graduate at the end of fall quarter. His replacement is committed to working only the 15 to 19 hours listed in the job description. "The recycle center has probably needed a manager for a year or two." Bartlett said. She said the problem was recognized during the summer. Schuster. Bartlett and Brown met at that time to analyze the problem and pursue options, she said. AS Vice President for Academic Affairs George Sidles said he was "really skeptical" of the ASRC proposal. Sidles said he was involved last spring in hiring the new ASRC coordinator, and heard in passing of the center's potential problems. "Why didn't we hear about this earlier?" Sidles said of the center's problems. Bartlett said she discussed the problems during summer quarter with AS Board members Majken Ryherd and Yvonne Ward. "The AS has been raked over the coals by doing good gestures." Sidles said. He cited Western's day care and the recycling center as programs the AS has funded where there has been "more promised (financial) support from the university than has been delivered." Sidles said recycling should be a university function and not a student services function. He said "there has not been the response on the part of the university that we've been looking for." Bartlett explained other sources of funding have been pursued. • see RECYCLE, page 6
