In addition, Bray said her office hires additional student labor for the move-out period, which she said amounts to roughly $1,000 in extra wages.

The College is forced to shell out still more money to accommodate the gargantuan quantities of garbage produced by students moving out of their dorms.

According to Robert M. Gogan, supervisor of waste management, the College's contracts with waste hauling firms already take into account the need for extra trash capacity, such as dumpsters.

But Gogan said the College does have to pay for whatever increased tonnage the Houses generate. He estimated that in both May and June of this year, the Houses would generate about 600 tons of waste--about 200 tons more than usual per month. Since each ton of waste costs about $60, the College can expect to pay some $12,000 extra per month.

By the same token, Gogan said the Houses and the Yard residences also generated about 55 tons of paper recycling waste during move-out period--about one-third higher than normal. With recycling charged at $20 per ton, the additional waste costs the College another extra $1,100.

Moreover, to help ease some of the parking problems associated with the process, Director of Transportation Services John W. Nolan estimated that his office spent about $2,500 to secure extra parking during the four or five-day moving period.

In addition, he said the one additional shuttle bus deployed to facilitate on-campus transportation cost about $310.

In order to keep everything running smoothly, the College also usually hires extra police labor.
