he sight of a melted stripe running across the snow-covered mall is a familiar sight to many students. What they are perhaps un- aware of is that this is a result of heat leaking T from the underground steam pipes that are part of the campus heating system. This lost heat is ex- pensive, and comes out of the pockets of students. Improving the efficiency of on-campus energy systems is only logical given the current fiscal circum- stances. If cuts must be made, better to look to upgrading technology than resorting to eliminating class options. The Green Loan Fund’s attempt to analyze and improve the sustainability of various campus systems is helping to do this. So far, the council’s efforts have saved the school system an estimated $7,400,342 for purchased electricity and $8,666,905 for purchased fuels since 2005. There are many good ideas — such as using compressors to recycle warm air to aid in heating build- ings, thus cutting down costs — but, unfortunately, new technology is expensive. The steam pipe junction in front of Stevens Hall, which is responsible for directing two-thirds of the heat energy on campus, must be replaced. It is difficult to build upon systems that are broken. However, given the age and state of some of the more traditional systems on campus, and the great cost of digging up and replacing large sections of pipe, it is worth asking whether it wouldn’t be simpler and cheaper to simply stop depending on the old system. The proposed compressors, for instance, can Muslim Arabs in Israel: Part 2 provide heat for 25 homes. Wouldn’t it be simpler to in- stall one of these in every building and slowly wean the system off steam heat?

Te Maine Campus • Campus Culture Monday, April 14, 2014 A10 Album Review: Film Review: Leon Russell, ‘Captain America: ‘Life Journey’ The Winter Soldier’ Tried-but-true sound prevails on veteran’s umpteenth album Well written script, ensemble cast make for good sequel

Kyle Hadyniak For The Maine Campus

Leon Russell is an artist who has nothing to prove. Since 1968, Russell has pumped out a steady discog- raphy that has earned him a modest fan base. In 2010, Russell’s career was resusci- tated by Elton John following a stretch of poorly-selling al- bums. It was this collabora- tion that resulted in the hit al- bum “The Union.” Now, once again at the urging of John, Russell, 72, has released a record full of infuential cov- ers, designed to showcase his interests and tributes over the course of his nearly 50-year career. This album, appropri- ately titled “Life Journey,” Paramount Pictures contains classics from Billy Universal Joel, Ray Charles, Frank Kyle Hadyniak growth, “The Winter Soldier” some well-written, emotional through the song’s lyrics life, as their lyrics express a Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, and For The Maine Campus excels in offering a thoughtful, character moments.
