The Daily Bruin

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week, with the event open for viewing beginning today (Tuesday) at 8 a.m.

Items will be open for viewing in the Macy and Sutton basements Tuesday, May 5, through Thursday, May 7, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and on Friday, May 8, from 8 a.m. to noon. After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to local charities.

At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

During the months of May and June various parking areas around campus will be restriped and curbs will be painted, weather dependent. The painting this week will begin around mail services on Monday and will loop around by the tennis courts, Weesner Village and into the Pennington lot.

Please pay attention and don’t park in the areas that are blocked off so that the painting crews won’t be slowed down by cars parked where they shouldn’t be. Every Monday we will announce in The Daily Bruin where the painting crews will be for that week.

Questions or concerns? Please call security at 503-554-2090.

Some instruction from mail services about mailbox keys …

• If returning: Keep your mailbox key all summer.
• If graduating or withdrawing: Return your mailbox key by the end of finals week to avoid a $15 non-returned key fine – charged to your student account.

Where do I return the mailbox key?
There are key return envelopes on the counters at all post offices. Fill out the envelope and seal the key inside it. Drop the envelope into the campus mail slot. You can also bring the key to mail services – where you pick up packages.

A huge box of lost and found items was just turned in to the lost and found from Wood-Mar Auditorium. If you have lost something either while performing in a play or attending something in Wood-Mar, please stop by the security office before the end of the week to check for your lost items.

All unclaimed items will be donated to charitable causes next week.

Before saying your goodbyes and hitting the highway there are a few payroll reminders …

• First, please be sure to lock your time sheets. This will prevent any hold on your paycheck for a signature.
• Second, be sure your address is up to date with mail services so your paycheck can find you.
• Another great option is to set up direct deposit before you go, so your pay won’t be delayed by mail. Click this link for the direct deposit form.
