Risk management handling worker's comp claims
Due to restructuring of the benefit's office, worker's
compensation claims and related OSHA reporting now are
handled by the university risk management office. All
worker's compensation information including physician
reports, injury reports, billing issues, forms, claims and

Report campus light problems
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to alert
facilities staff if campus pole-mounted lights aren't working
properly. The lights are supposed to go on at dusk and off at
dawn. Facilities and public safety staff appreciate calls
from those who notice light problems. Just jot down the
number (about waist level) on the light pole and send it with
a brief message to facilities at rlarabee@
fpam.adp.iastate.edu, 4-5100.
Sloss fund-raiser nets $6,000
A fund-raiser Feb. 8 to refurbish the kitchen in the
Margaret Sloss Women's Center raised $6,040. Tickets to the
reception and a silent auction helped organizers surpass
their $4,000 goal. ISU head coaches wives' Stacy Eustachy,
Deb Fennelly and Margy McCarney hosted the event.
Flyers have specific place
University policy prohibits posting flyers and
commercial advertising in academic buildings except on
bulletin boards established for public use, says Warren
Madden, vice president for business and finance. Flyers and
other materials taped on walls, windows, doors, light posts
and other spots can leave tape residue and, in some cases,
pull paint off when removed. Posting commercial materials in
other locations requires prior approval from facilities
planning and management personnel. Madden asks the campus
community's help in seeing all are informed of the
university's policy.
Library conducts Web survey
Faculty and students are encouraged to complete a short
Web-based survey on the university library during the next
week. The survey will help library staff improve collections,
said Olivia Madison, dean of library services. Two surveys,
one for faculty and one for students, are available on the
Web at www.lib.iastate.edu/survey.html. The survey takes
less than five minutes to complete and responses will be
confidential. The survey must be completed by Sunday, Feb.
27.
