of Social Work's policy is that they go
talk to the dean of social work or the
dean of students of social work about
their behavior before they return to
class," Jones said.
Many administrators say their high
expectations for students have kept them
from developing fonnal codes of disdpline.
They say classroom standards are
set by individual faculty members.
They say they expect college students
to "practice personal and academic
integrity" and "respect rights and property
of others" as listed in the Carolinian
Creed.

University of South Carolina students
and faculty toss away about 1.5 million
polystyrene cups each year, according to
the USC recycling center.
rolystyrene (atyrotoam) products are

Environmental Audit.
According to the
audit, the university planned to "divert
25 percent of the university's wastestream
to recycling markets by spring 1997."
The university has also established
an extensive recycling system in
administrative offices, resident halls,
cafeterias and the university grounds.
Although the university uses 1.5
million polystyrene cups annually, there
are only three places on campus equipped
for plastic foam recycling.
Recyling containers for polystyrene
exist in the Gamecock Grill area and in
Baker's Street.

The residence halls are equipped with
recycling containers for colored paper,
mixed paper, newspaper and aluminum.
However, there are no bins for polystyrene.
"We're not able to logistically gel
[polystyrene recycling] underway because
we aren't paid for recycling [polystyrene
materials], so labor is expensive," said
Laura Pergolizzi of the USC recycling
center.

According to a DHEC representative,
polystyrene recycling is not economically
logical because there is only one company
in the country that recycles the material,
and the company is not located in South
Carolina.
Therefore, USC must pay to ship the
lightweight but

Bohlkey said alternatives to polystyrene, .
such as containers made of plastic and
paper, are not more environmentally safe
than the plastic foam.
The university and Marriott are trying
to reduce the amount of polystyrene used,

Some on-campus restaurants, such
as Gibbs Court, are using china in place
of the polystyrene containers, Bohlkey
said.
In addition, Marriott has sold reusable
eco-mugp which students can use whether
they dine in or out.
Pergolizzi said most campuses use
student volunteers to collect waste for
recycling.
USC is one of the few campuses that
lues not have these volunteers.
"If [students] are really concerned,
they can eat in," Pergolizzi said.
She also said that students who care
can volunteer to help the recycling
program.
