NEW BIKE PUMP AT FREDDY

Frederiksen Court ISU

WI-FI … TURN OFF PERSONAL ROUTERS

Personal routers are being used at Freddy and their use is impacting the Wi-Fi for every-one else. This is a community issue. If you know of someone using a personal router, please help by asking him or her to turn it off immediately. In specific, there are router names that are highly offensive and inappropriate on many levels. These routers, especially, need to be turned off and packed up. The language used is embarrass-ing and is negatively impacting our Freddy community. We are receiving the apart-ment locations of these routers and each resident in the apartment will be contacted. In some cases, the residents will be asked to meet with Frederiksen staff. If routers are not turned off by the given date, IT capabilities will be turned off. If your Wi-Fi is not working, contact the Solution Center at 515-294-4000. For policy information go to: (http://www.housing.iastate.edu/sites/default/files/Forms/2014-

NOISE CONCERNS — WHAT WORKS & WHAT DOESN’T

While we don’t have “Quiet Hours” at Freddy, we do ask all residents to be respectful of others’ rights to sleep and study at any time of day.

What works…If someone is making too much noise, politely ask them to quiet down. If you need assistance, call the CA on Call. Staff will ask if you’ve tried to remedy the matter yourself. If you need help, staff will assist you.

What doesn’t work…Please don’t bang on ceilings, walls or floors. Face to face commu-

nication is best. If you need help, call the CA on Call for assistance.

Check out the new bike pump and repair station near the southwest entrance to the Community Center. THANK YOU to the Frederiksen Court Community Council, GSB and the Department of Residence for making the bike pump possible.

CARRY KEYS AT ALL TIMES

Write yourself a note, get a lanyard or even put a reminder on your phone calendar to grab your keys!

NO WHEELS? NO PROBLEM! BE GREEN!

By Sarah Kaldenberg, Freddy’s Sustainability Coordinator If you don’t have a car on campus, don’t fret. Since 2011 ISU has partnered with Enterprise, the car rental company, to provide you with wheels. There are many reasons for using the CarShare

1. You don’t have to pay for a parking permit 2. You can reduce your risk for getting a parking ticket 3. You don’t have to pay for gas, insurance and repairs

The CarShare program has other benefits. It is quick and easy. You have the ability to get to car for as long as you need it. You return it to its location in the parking lot on the corner of Stange and Wanda Daley Dr…right across the street from Freddy. You can reserve the car hourly, for a night or a whole day, for various prices. This covers fuel and insurance while you are driving. There is an annual fee to participate in CarShare, but is just about as much as you would pay to fill up your car once. CarShare is a 24/7 service, so if you have a prob-lem, there is someone to help you. We can become a more sustainable community when we support programs that help to reduce our carbon footprint. Check out the CarShare program today. http://www.enterprisecarshare.com/car-sharing/program/iowa-state

TUTORS NEEDED

The Academic Success Center needs tutors. Tutoring is an excellent way to earn some extra cash, build your communication skills, keep up on your knowledge of complete coursework and help others. This also looks great on a resume. Tutors earn $9 an hour. There are requirements and an application to complete. Go to www.dso.iastate.edu/asc/tutoring/becomeatutor. You can also call 515-294-6624 or email tutorsrv@iastate.edu.
