Invitations From the MU Asian Affairs Center
Two invitations from our friends at MU’s Asian Affairs Center:
There are currently eight university students (or recent graduates) from South Korea participating in the I-Leap Program. The Asian Affairs Center is hoping the student will have the opportunity to visit an American home and have dinner during their three month stay in the United States. Would you and your family enjoy having two of these international visitors join you for supper some evening in late April? The dates are flexible at this time and we could probably accommodate your choice.
Please contact Mary Jo Herde at Herdem@missouri.edu or 882-5624, if you need more information about this opportunity to get to know two young Koreans better. Thank you very much for your kind consideration.
MU’s Asian American Association is sponsoring its first “Asian American Awareness Week.”

Filming Outside Ellis Library, April 6
The Department of Student Life is shooting a movie on campus in April. On April 6th they are scheduled to shoot at the West Ellis Library entrance around 5 p.m. and will wrap shooting at around 7 p.m. They will not film inside of building, but they will shoot people going in and coming out of the doors.
There will be three different signs up around the area in which they film to indicate that if people are walking into the area, there is a chance they may be on camera.
Update on ACT’s Recycling Program
This is is an update to the March 20, 2009 post Recycle Your 5, 6 and 7 Plastics.
“The focus of the ACT recycling program is to recycle obsolete electronic media and related products, such as VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs, and their respective cases. These items do happen to be made of many of those hard to recycle plastics such as #5 (cases), #6 (VHS tapes and jewel cases), and #7 (CDs and DVDs).
Very simply, if people have media items which they want to recycle, ACT is happy to accept those items during our regular business hours between 8am and 6pm. At the present time we do not have any drop off bins at our location, or anywhere around the city of Columbia. ACT Recycling is located at 2200 Burlington, just north of Vandiver between Range Line and Paris roads. People can also always send these items to ACT via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Although ACT does not pay for shipping, the value of the donation and the cost of shipping are tax deductible.”

City and University Support New Site for State Historical Society
March 30, 2009 COLUMBIA, Mo. — University of Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton and Columbia City Manager Bill Watkins today announced that MU and the City of Columbia will work together to provide an appropriate site for the future location of the State Historical Society of Missouri that would be beneficial to all three parties, to those they serve and to the community in general. The society currently is located in cramped quarters in MU’s Ellis Library.
In accordance with the university’s master plan vision to enhance the northern boundary of the campus, and the city’s cooperation in that effort that includes consultation services from Sasaki Associates, MU has offered to make a site available for construction of the proposed State Historical Society building. The Sasaki study identified a range of opportunity sites along Elm Street suitable for cultural, residential, commercial and other improvements.
The site is a square block between Sixth and Seventh Streets, bounded by Elm Street on the south and Locust Street on the north. It currently serves as employee/visitor parking for the Heinkel Building, which houses several university administrative functions; MU would retain ownership of the property.
The city would support this arrangement by making a piece of its property available to the university in an adjacent area located on the east side of Fifth Street between Locust and Cherry Streets. This area currently serves as a parking lot and would be available to employees displaced from parking around the Heinkel Building.
“We strongly believe that the State Historical Society is an enormous asset for Columbia and the university,” Deaton said. “We have been working for some time with the city to leverage our mutual resources into a new model for town/gown relationships and to identify short-term and long-term opportunities that would benefit our long-standing partnership. Working together to make a site available to the society for a facility that will adequately serve its needs benefits all involved.”
Watkins said that the proposal is a very workable option for the society’s planned expansion. “The society had seriously considered the block immediately to the west of this alternative site because, once the existing property was acquired, there would be enough space to build the type of facility it visualized,” he said. “But this truly generous offer from the university will let the Historical Society go forward with an adjusted plan. I am excited about this project.”
The City Council will discuss this topic during its open, public dinner session at 5:45 p.m. today in the Fourth Floor Conference Room, Daniel Boone Building, 701 E. Broadway.
The State Historical Society of Missouri was founded in 1898 by the Missouri Press Association and has been a trustee of the state since 1899. It describes its role as “the preeminent research facility for the study of the Show Me State’s heritage and a leader in programming designed to share that heritage with the public.”

MU Policy – HR 411 Voting
With the April 2009 elections date just around the corner, it seems like a good time to review HR 411, the University’s policy on voting and related requests for time off. To highlight the main points:
MU Policy – HR 411 Voting
The main points:
• Employees may be excused from work for time necessary to allow them to vote (this includes time away for absentee voting, if necessary).
• This time may be up to, but not exceed, three (3) successive hours for the purpose of voting.
• Such period of time includes any off-duty time between the opening and closing of the polls (e.g., lunch).
• Employees shall be paid for any time requiring absence from duty to allow up to three (3) successive hours; provided, however, that such absence is requested prior to the election. Such time must be recorded on a time sheet or a monthly absence form.
• Supervisors have the right to specify the time an employee may be absent for voting (e.g. for coverage issues).
• Employees whose work hours permit three (3) successive hours between the opening and closing of the polls when not on duty, will not be eligible for any paid time off for the purpose of voting.
