During recent months, The Daily Free Press opinion page has been routinely filled with legitimate student complaints of apathy on Boston University’s campus. Blame for student apathy has been laid on many shoulders, including BU’s city campus and an administration that often seems not to care about its own students. There is, however, a wonderful opportunity for you to take a small step to end the apathy that many believe plagues our campus. The Environmental Student Organization recently worked with CAS Forum to expand the recycling program in the College of Arts and Sciences (“Recycling to increase at BU after long struggle,” March 19).

To continue the effort to expand BU’s recycling program, ESO and the Warren Towers RHA have collaborated over the past couple of months to bring recycling to each floor of a trial tower in Warren Towers. To our knowledge, this has never been done before in an organized fashion. The University administration should be applauded for recently allowing expanded recycling in the College of Arts and Sciences. However, we have been unable to get the administration to pay for increased recycling in the dorms.

That means recycling in Warren Towers is going to be a student-run initiative. There will be a meeting this Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the Warren Towers Cinema Room for all students interested in joining this endeavor. If this initiative is successful, it may be expanded to other dorms and the brownstones. Unfortunately, while all students are welcome at the meeting, only students who are able to enter Warren Towers without being signed in may participate in the initiative — hall director’s rules. Also, anyone who is not able to attend the meeting because of Passover, but would still like to be involved, may email ESO at [email protected] to join this effort. The success of this initiative to get recycling in Warren Towers depends on the commitment and number of people who attend Wednesday night’s meeting. We look forward to seeing you there.
