Hi Stanford,
Today we write to you from Dance Marathon and Hack-A-Thon 2010 - the year's biggest and longest party of the year! There are 19 musical and dance performances throughout the 24 hours! This year proceeds go to Partners In Health and Bay Area Young Positives. To view the Hack-A-Thon projects click here. Not signed up as a dancer or hacker? Not a problem! Visitors are welcome ($10 donation recommended)! Stop by the Arrillaga Alumni Center anytime today between 2/6 1PM and 2/7 1PM to check out the party.
We also want to tell you about Wellness Week 2010: Finding Balance and Happiness, which starts on Monday, February 8th. The ASSU Executive Health and Wellness Team has collaborated with other groups on campus to plan a week full of events that are designed to help Stanford students find balance and happiness within their normal routine. Whether you enjoy the calm of meditation, the excitement of listening to a dynamic speaker, the joy of playing with puppies and kittens, or simply receiving free food, Wellness Week has something for you. Start the week off by attending the Pets In Need Puppy/Kitten Study Break from 11AM - 2PM in White Plaza. End your Monday with Fred Luskin's talk on how to have less stress and more happiness at 7:30PM at Braun Lecture Hall in Mudd Chemistry. In addition, checkout the Wellness Challenge! The residence with the highest participation gets a study break with delicious food! The three individuals who participate the most will get a Visa gift card. First place gets $100, second place gets $75 and third place gets $50.
Finally, we would like to thank the entire Stanford community for supporting Haiti and participating in the National Collage Haiti Fundraising Challenge we started. Within one week the FACE AIDS $50,000 match was hit! The Challenge now has 25 partner schools and has raised over $300,000 to date! Thank you for being part of a national student movement. We are continuing Haiti relief efforts by hiring a Haiti Relief Czar who will coordinate campus activities and represent Stanford in the National Student Haiti Relief Coalition we are forming.

1. 0% Waste Program Update
The ASSU Executive Sustainability team is pleased to announce that, through collaboration withStudents for a Sustainable Stanford (SSS) and Stanford Hospitality and Auxiliaries, three campus dining locations are now 0% waste areas. New compost bins are now in place at Union Square in Tresidder, The Axe & Palm, and the new Russo Café in Munger, and these three facilities are using compostable and recyclable materials. The compost bins are accompanied by recycling bins for glass, plastics and paper, as well as signs to help diners sort waste into the appropriate receptacles. To support and ensure ongoing success of the program, SSS is training eight Student Compost Coordinators to perform bi-weekly compost audits. We are now working with CoHo, Treehouse, and Ray's to implement the program.
