| Chimes Online - ESC transforms Calvin paper policy |
 | Did you know that of the approximately 38,000 pages printed at the ITC, only about 1,400 were made on recycled paper last month? In recorded estimates provided by Dan Lindh in ITC, the total printing in the Center for the month of September reached about 38,683 copies. Of the four printers there, one of them is a recycled paper printer.

The ESC wants to change both the ignorance and the nonchalance as soon as possible.

| Chimes Online - President's Corner |
| As September comes to an end, we realize that our planners are slowly filling up with tests to take, papers to write and group projects to finish. I'd imagine you all have a long list of things to do. Just like you, Student Senate has developed a long list of things to do for this semester. After the Student Senate retreat this past Saturday, I began to notice the desire Student Senators have to make a difference for you on Calvin's campus. Some of the following things are on the list: later dinner hours, a Fishouse art gallery, more cable channels in the dorms, ping-pong tournaments, expanding the use of 100 percent- recycled-paper campus-wide and many, many more. ... |
