'Can5 SA regain IBM copiers? by Joseph T. Mackowski of The Post staff "People think I'm nuts, but some of the greatest people were called nuts," Sheldon Wasserman, Student Association senator and aluminum can collector, said Friday. Wasserman is collecting aluminum cans to pay for the IBM copying machines that were repossessed last month after SA had built up a $16,000 debt to IBM. "It looks kind of stupid, but if we get the IBM machine back, all the students will benefit," Wasserman said. "I collect at least 25 cans a day, 100 after a party." And at 25 cents for every 15 cans, "we'll have at least $100 before the end of next week.'' Wasserman has some help collecting cans. FOCUS, the Con servation Club, a bartender, several janitors and the Pre-Med/ Pre-Health Association are collecting cans for Wasserman. Pre- Med and other groups are in competition for the same cans. "Some of my friends are paying for their education through cans," Wasserman said. "One janitor takes many cans before I can get them. Most everyone is helpful, though. I get cans through interdepartmental mail.'' Wasserman doesn't get much help sifting through the gar bage, however. "It's disgusting!" Wasserman said, "but it's a job that has to be done. Students expect something out of an SA senator." He does receive some help. "Everyone likes smashing them." Wasserman is donating can tops to a group in Sandburg Hall that is collecting them for a kidney dialysis machine. Wasserman said he believes in what he is doing. "The ultimate goal is government which supports itself," he said, "a government where students participate." That means he wants your cans. 1111 i%;;Js-ifsi;:&j;--:;: Hs ; ••' : :• - ;.,0.: Wll 4*T K •>vi -, r****s*» JOCKEYUEANS-RRIFF m VvviiE I vEHIIw pniEn Now for everyone who's realty into And with quality that comes only jeans, Jockey introduces Jockey from Jockey.

Tuesday, December 9 Viewpoints Page 3 Our view... Use the library Starting on Wednesday, the semester will be in its last week of classes, before final exam week. Wednesday also marks the return of the Golda Meir Library to its 24-hour schedule of operation. The entire library will remain open after midnight, not just the first floor of the east wing. The 24-hour operation will extend through midnight on Tues day, Dec. 23, when exams finally end, unmercifully close to Christmas. The extended library hours will be a welcome relief to those students who have tolerated the disruption of their late hour study habits that the midnight closing of the library has caused this semester. As the University struggled to meet the cutbacks that were mandated by the state budget cutbacks this year, the librarv's 24-hour service was one of the first and most prominent student services to face the axe. Students who have had to make do with the limited 24-hour service in the east wing this semester should be warned that no relief is in sight. Chancellor Frank Horton warned this week that the elimination of the surcharge for the second semester will mean that li brary hours cannot be extended in the second semester. Library use during the third shift will be closely monitored during the next two weeks. Roselle has indicated that the present library hours will be subject to review depending on the volume of use; too little use now could be used as an excuse to eliminate the two-week, 24-hour service in the second semester. Letters... We urge all students, who want to keep the 24-hour service in the future to get out and use the library during the third shift in the next two weeks. 3,000 students signed a UWM grad inveighs against drinking editorial petition earlier this semester to restore full 24-hour service. No alcohol, no! Get back from the disaster There is a reason for taboos instituted in these If all those students use the library after midnight in the next path. That road is dead. areas, and we are constantly running up against two weeks, 24-hour service in the future will be more likely. Is that strong enough language? I am ab that truth.
