Shrivastava thinks the student recycling office should explore the possibility of receiving money from student activity fees. Lucas said his office is in the process of trying to get recognized as a student organization so they can be eligible for student activity money. Despite its lack of funds, the recycling office has arranged to have 55-gallon steel drums available for campus recycling purposes. "As soon as they come in, we're going to use the containers for aluminum cans and newspapers to be recycled," Lucas said. The recycling office plans to put the aluminum and newspaper recycling bins in four classroom build ings ana one administration ouiiaing. The remaining containers will be placed in the lobbies of residence halls for newspaper recycling. Lucas said, "We'll advertise about the location and pick up once a week." He added that student volunteers will be needed. Lucas believes the university needs to be committed to recycling efforts and allocate money to expand the recycling program on campus. initiate Forum (racial) climate of the campus," he said. Haller, who helped sponsor the event, said, 'The best way to end ignorance is through communication. We want the students to air their feelings, but we also want students to understand other people's opinions." A panel composed of faculty and administrators will be on hand to discuss all the issues that are raised. Some members include O'Neal Smalls of the USC Law School, Ralph Johnson of Minority Student Affairs, Leon Ginsberg of Lne uonege or social Work, ana Mark Delancy of the Department of Government and International Studies. The forum, which is free, will last about two hours and the expected attendance is very high, Haller said. As for the successfulness of the forum, Haller said the meeting can only act as a successful stepping stone for the future. "Our generation is in an unusual position," he said.

Queen to be s Senator supports bill referendum 1 By J.T. WAGENHEIM Staff Writer Student Government Senator Kelli Lister will propose a referendum to the senate today calling for a campus wide vote on the Homecoming queen issue. If the bill is passed by the senate, students will vote during the February elections whether or not they want their student activity fees to support a queen. "The fairest way to decide if there is a homecoming queen or not is to let the student body choose. It should not have been up to a commission to decide the fate of the queen," Lister said. The bill states "that a referendum be held February 20, 1992 during the Student Body elections to ascertain student opinion on this (Homecoming queen) most concerning issue." Homecoming Commissioner Beth Dubil sent a letter to every I senator urging a vote against this bill. "We strongly feel that a referendum regarding the Homecoming ; queen is inappropriate and unnecessary and urge you to vote against this bill. We feel that this ?p?

Kelli Lister Student Senator is an issue that has already been decided by student leaders and that most students don't really care about the issue," Dubil's letter said. Lister contends that many students were upset there was not a Homecoming queen, just as others seem to be impartial. In October 1990, the Student Senate sponsored a bill to halt the funding of the USC Homecoming queen. After months of debate, the Homecoming Commission last February decided not to fund the election of the queen saying, "the program had divided the student body and created polarization of some groups on campus and that it did not serve to unite the Carolina community."
