ELOU (TAZ) TABALLA
Candidate for president
Everyone possesses a color of individuality and a seed for creativity that is unique in itself and independent from any similarities. Everyone does, no exceptions. During my travels overseas as a youngster and throughout my service as a Marine non-commissioned officer, whenever a creative idea or a solution was needed, knowing the above, I was never without resources. All I had to do was to sincerely listen. I am running for SGA President. Lend me your ideas, and I promise never to take my role for granted and never to back down until your needs are met.

[032411_0414_AlexandriaC1.jpg] If you talk to most anyone around the Alexandria campus of Northern Virginia Community College, including students, faculty or staff, they would likely agree that the recycling program in place there isn’t working. As for why it isn’t working, there are many conflicting viewpoints and more than just a little confusion.
According to the head of the Green Committee for NOVA, Ray Bailey, for the last 18 months each campus of NOVA has had a recycling contract. The campuses in Fairfax County, including Annandale and Medical Education campuses, have a contract with the county to pick up recycling. Bailey stated, “All other campuses are covered by Con-Serv Industry (CSI).” Bailey also explained that all the contracts are for “single-stream” recycling, which means that paper, plastic bottles and glass can all go in the recycling bins.
