Announcements
New ISU directories available, old books can be recycled
The 2002-03 ISU directory is available at University Book Store for $1.
Faculty and staff can update their directory info by signing onto the
AccessPlus Web site. For updates to the administration/departments section
of the directory, contact the telecommunications office.
Volunteers will pick up old phone books (such as the ISU directory,

books in the collection spot in your building or by volunteering to help
with the Dec. 7 pickup. Last year, the campus community recycled more than
nine tons of phone books. For more information, or to volunteer for the Dec.
7 pickup, call Gloria Erickson, 4-7977. More information about recycling
efforts, including building pickup locations, is available online at

Remember to conserve
Campus employees are reminded the university still is trying to save funds
by conserving energy. The ISU community can help by turning off computers,
monitors, printers, fax machines, copiers, lights and other equipment and
appliances whenever possible. Last fiscal year, the university saved $1.4
million through energy conservation. More information on the university's
conservation efforts is available online at
http://www.fpm.iastate.edu/utilities/energyefficiency.
Winter weather reminder
With winter approaching, Iowa State employees are reminded that class or
office closings will be listed on the Iowa State Web site (
http://www.iastate.edu). Closing information also will be distributed
via radio and television stations.
Even if classes are canceled, university offices may remain open with staff
expected to report to work. When inclement weather makes it impossible to
come to work, employees should notify their immediate supervisors promptly.
Even if the university is closed, some staff whose jobs are vital to the
university's daily operations may be required to report to work.
Employees can request to make up time lost due to bad weather with
compensatory time within the work period, vacation pay or leave without pay.
Staff covered by collective bargaining agreements should refer to their
contracts for severe weather emergency policies.
Award deadline approaches
The nomination deadline for several student leadership awards is Friday,
Nov. 15. Applications are available in the Vice President for Student
Affairs Office, 2350 Beardshear, and in Student Activities, B6 Memorial
Union, and online at
http://www.sac.iastate.edu/Awards/PresLdrsAwards.htm.
