Student Greening Project Sheds New Light on Dining Hall
In addition to the many recent improvements to Withey Student Center, all of the chandelier light bulbs in the dining hall have been replaced with energy-saving compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). The specialized dimmable bulbs were purchased by students through the Student Campus Greening Fund, after a proposal was given overwhelming support by the student body last spring and approved by the administration last semester. Members of the maintenance staff installed the bulbs over the holiday break. Alumni Tyler Crow, Tim Poole, and Chris Babcock (see photo) wrote the proposal and returned to campus over the break to put the finishing touches on the retrofit. The 8-watt CFLs replaced 236 40-watt incandescent bulbs and are expected to reduce the energy consumption in the dining hall by more than 25,000 kilowatt-hours annually, or about eighty percent. For more information on this project or the Student Campus Greening Fund, contact Jesse Pyles at ext. 8379.
