val at theMAC. Usemachinesthat are inwell-lighted, high-visibility areas.
" When making a deposit, complete thedepositenvelope priorto yourarrival atthe MAC,
" Use MAC machines that are equippedwith camera systems. Camera systemsserve as deterrents, and they documentall activity at the MAC.

Penn Recycling: Going into High GearWith itsnew, 10-ton capacity truck making
the rounds on campus, the Penn RecyclingProgram has shifted into high gear.
The $90,000 vehicle (below) arrived lastweek and willbe keptmoving witha missiontoremove up to 20 tons of mixed paper a weekfrom Pennbuildings, Al Pallanti,recycling co-ordinator, estimates.
The truck will make about two dozen stopseach day at Penn's schools, offices and 11dormitories. Its destinations will include: LeidyLabs, Law School, Franklin Building Annex,Houston Hall, College Hall, Van Pelt Library,Nursing Education Building, several MedicalSchool locations, 3401 Walnut, Vance Hall,Steinberg-Dietrich Hall, Lauder-Fischer Build-ing and the Steinberg Conference Center.
The Library started 100 percent recyclingof white and mixed paper yesterday, Mr. Pal-anti said. TheWharton School is scheduled tobegin later this week and Houston Hall and3401 Walnut are also going online with recy-cling in about a week. The Franklin Buildingand CollegeHall were the first twobuildingstoparticipate in the 100 percent approach.
TheMedical School is slated to begin recy-cling mixed paper within the coming week, atlocations including the Medical EducationBuilding (now Stemmler Hall; see page 4),Clinical ResearchBuilding, Johnson Pavilion,Morgan Building, and Richards Building.
By Thanksgiving, the Sweeten Alumni Centerand theDental School'sEvans andLevyBuild-ings expect to be in the program as well.
"The response hasreally been phenome-nal," Mr. Pallanri said.Calling employee inter-est the key to success,he cited some 30 phonecalls a day as a sign ofkeen interest.
Some 800 barrels,each with a 32-galloncapacity, have beenplaced in theparticipat-ing buildings so far. Mr.Palanti said the Programhas also distributed ap-proximately 5000 desktrays to help in sortingwhite vs. mixed paperin the offices and labs.More are on order ascalls continue to pourin, Mr. Pallanti said.

UNIVERSITY of PENNSYLVANIAPenn's Way/United Way
A Message to the Faculty, Staff and Students
'Truly an Employee-Initiated Campaign...'
Since the spring, the Penn's Way/United Way Campaign Committee hasworked to create and frame a campaign program that reflects the interests andconcerns the University faculty and staff have expressed over recent years.Indeed, this year's campaign is distinctly different from previous ones, thanksto your input and support.
Truly an employee-initiated campaign, the Penn's Way/United Way Cam-
paign is a partnership campaign of five fundraising organizations: The United
Way, The Black United Fund of Pennsylvania, The Bread and Roses CommunityFund, The United Negro College Fund, and Women's Way. These "umbrella"
organizations are similar in that they all raise funds for groups of agencies andcharitable programs in the Greater Delaware Valley and Southeastern
Pennsylvania.By including five fundraising organizations, this year's campaign affords
you more options of giving directly to the programs of your choice. In additionto directing your contributions to the United Way and its affiliate members, the
University will send gifts you designate to one or more of the other fundraisingorganizations directly to them. Penn's Way/United Way also reflects the
diversity of the Penn campus by offering a comprehensive program of giving thatincludes a wide variety of charitable services. Together with over 30 coordinatorsand 200 solicitors from the various schools and departments, we encourage youto take the time to review the campaign material and literature that describeseach of the five partners and their activities.
As a way to spice up this year's campaign, we're offering the opportunityfor contributors to win several exciting prizes. By contributing, you will be
eligible for weekly drawings where the prizes include gift certificates for dinners,watches, and specialty stores. The grand prize is two free round-trip tickets
anywhere in the continental United States, compliments of Rosenbluth Travel,and $500 spending money from the University. The earlier you give, the betterthe chances for winning.
During the course of the campaign, we will let you know of the campaign'sprogress through updates in Almanac, The Compass, and The Daily Pennsylva-nian as well as through on-campus thermometer displays. Join us as we aim forour most successful employee campaign ever: $300,000!
This fundraising drive is an opportunity to learn about charitable giving andthe work of the many special agencies and programs which, every day, help and
support the people of the Greater Delaware Valley and Southeastern Pennsyl-vania. Thank you for your support and guidance through the planning of this
campaign. We look forward to your continued interest and help in developingPenn's Way/United Way and making the University of Pennsylvania a philan-thropic leader in the Delaware Valley.

University Laboratory Animal Resources
Rabies Policy for Cat and Dog Bites
I. The purpose of this policy is to describe the steps which must betakenin the event of a laboratory dog or cat biting or scratching any person on theUniversity of Pennsylvania campus.
II. Principal Investigators (those who sign the IACUC* protocol) are re-sponsiblefor insuring that they andtheir stafffollowthe steps required in thispolicy. The University Laboratory Animal Resources (ULAR) is responsiblefor quarantining the animal, performing the necessary paperwork, and ifnecessary, transporting the animal to the necropsy area in the VeterinaryHospital of the University of Pennsylvania (VHUP). The Department ofPathobiology, School ofVeterinary Medicine, is responsible forshipping theanimal (head) for diagnosis as per their policy.
Ill. This policy applies to all bite and scratch exposures by laboratory dogsand cats owned by the University of Pennsylvania or being housed in theUniversity vivariums.
IV. ProceduresA. Awareness:The states in the Delaware Valley are in the midst ofan
outbreak ofrabies. Rabies in adog or cat may remain subclinical for up to ayear. The stress ofshipping or researchmay exacerbate a subclinical diseasecausing the animal to begin shedding the virus. Although investigators areurged to use only purpose bred laboratory dogs and cats with known vaccina-tion and health histories, it is very possible that unvaccinated cats and dogsused in research at the University of Pennsylvania may have been exposed torabid animals.
B. Prophylactic Immunization: Investigators are urged to have allpersons exposed to dogs or cats within the University vaccinated for rabies.Contact Occupational Health Service at HUP, 662-2354 for information.
C. Ifa personis bitten or scratched, the following steps must be taken:1. Immediately flush the wound with soap and water and then contact
Occupational Health Service for guidance and/or treatment (662-2354).Students will bereferred toStudent Health (662-2865). Nonaffiliates willbe referred to HUP Emergency Service (662-3920). Apply first aid asdirected.
2. Exposed individuals mustnotify the Office of the Associate Direc-tor for Clinical Care, ULAR, 898-6466 for guidance in handling theanimal. Do not kill the animal.
a. TheOfficeofthe Associate Director forClinical Carewill notifythe Office of Environmental Health and Safety (OEHS), 898-4453.
b. The animal mustbe quarantined by ULAR fora minimum of 12days. If the animal doesnot show clinical signs ofrabies at the end ofquarantine, the exposed person(s) and OEHS will be notified and theanimal willbereturned to theinvestigator. The Officeofthe AssociateDirector for Clinical Care, ULAR, is responsible for providing thenotification.
c. If the quarantined animal dies, it will be taken by ULAR to thenecropsy area in VHUP for a diagnostic workup as a rabies suspect asper Veterinary School policy, "Laboratoryof Pathology Rabies Proce-dures" dated September 21, 1989 oran update of the same policy. TheOffice ofthe Associate Director for Clinical Care, ULAR, will notifythe appropriate health service, the veterinary pathologist (VHUP),OEHS, the appropriate School Dean and Department Chairman.
d. Ifthequarantined animaldevelops clinical signs ofrabies, it willbe euthanatized and the procedure in "c." will be followed.3. OEHS will identify all who had any contact, director indirect, with
the animal or its specimens. If the animal dies or shows clinical signs,OEHS will then direct them to the appropriate treatment center.
4. Whenthepathology report is received, OEHS will benotified by theveterinary pathologist (VHUP). The exposed individual(s), the appropri-ate health service(s), the Director, ULAR, the Associate Director forClinical Care, ULAR, theappropriate School Dean and DepartmentChair-man,and Public Health authorities will benotified of theresultsbyOEHS.
