Is there live after Henk? or: A clean Droevendaal, a common responsibility? This summer, our conscience in cleaning Henk will retire. His replacent was discussed in the last Droefmeeting, where the idea of doing his work by our self was raised. However, apart from having nice social and environmental ideals we are also students with lack of time and other priorities. Maybe the balance between ideals and reality can be found in paying those who put time and effort in it. On the other hand, volunteers running Greengroup, Common Barrack, DroefParty, VOKO, Volkskeuken, DroeviMovie, DroefCafe, Daily Living Council and all other activities are not paid either. We have to think about that and what is the best solution. Money can be organized by Idealis (in fact we pay for it ourselves, and doing it by ourselves is much cheaper anyway as having a company from outside). The idea is to start with the Droevendaal Cleaning Service as a pilot this summer, for 3 to 5 months. We are looking for a group of people who would like to be involved in cleaning Droevendaal in a way that fits to its people and purpose. It will be a task of about 2 to 4 hours a week in total, maybe not only doing a fixed list of actions but also feeling responsible and looking to Droef in another way. And maybe teach others to share that responsibility. In an ideal situation, we can rotate this task between people of all different barracks. So, concreet we need: * Ideas and opinions how to handle this. How to organize, pay people or not? * People willing to take active part. It will be nice, active, physical work :) You can respond to: henk2@droevendaal.nl. Or pass by: Cor (69) or Luc (37) Is er leven na Henk? Of: Is een opgeruimd Droevendaal onze gemeenschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid? Deze zomer gaat ons schoonmaakgeweten Henk met vervroegd pensioen. In de laatste Droefvergadering hebben we over zijn vervanging gepraat, waarbij werd voorgesteld dat we zelf zijn werk overnemen. Maar hoewel we natúúúrlijk allemaal vol mooie idealen zitten hoe we goed met elkaar en onze omgeving omgaan blijven we ook studenten met tijdsdruk en andere prioriteiten. Misschien kunnen we een balans hierin vinden door diegenen die dit werk doen daarvoor te vergoeden. Wat gelijk weer de vraag opwerpt waarom vrijwilligers die zich bezighouden met Groenbeheer, Algemene Barak, VOKO, Volkskeuken, DroefCafe, DroeviMovi, Dagelijks Woonbestuur enz. dan niet ook een vergoeding zouden moeten krijgen. We moeten gezamenlijk op zoek naar een goede oplossing. Het geld kan via Idealis georganiseerd worden (uiteindelijk betalen we het zelf in onze servicekosten, en het zal in ieder geval goedkoper zijn dan een bedrijf van buiten) . Het idee is nu om deze zomer te beginnen met een proefperiode van 3 tot 5 maanden. We willen een groep samenstellen van gemotiveerde mensen om Droevendaal naar Droefwaardige maatstaven netjes te houden. Uiteindelijk is het waarschijnlijk ca 2 tot 4 uur per week werk in totaal, en bij voorkeur niet alleen het vaste schema afwerken maar je ook verantwoordelijk voelen en naar Droevendaal kijken alsof het je eigen kamer is (voor zover van toepassing...). Misschien zelfs proberen om het verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel een breder draagvlak te geven. In een ideale situatie zou de taak zelfs over alle barakken kunnen rouleren. Concreet zijn we op zoek naar: * Ideeën en meningen: hoe moeten we hiermee omgaan, hoe zouden we het kunnen organiseren? Moeten we mensen hiervoor betalen? * Teamleden: wie wil helpen? Het is lekker, actief, fysiek werk :) Je kunt contact opnemen met: Cor (69) of Luc (37) of via: henk2@droevendaal.nl
A long hot summer is coming, how to get some decent sleep during the hot nights? Summer brings not only joy outside the barrack, but also sweaty nights on the attic in your room, which might force you to sleep on the ground, or outside in a tent. After a hot summer some years ago, I thought about a solution to bring some fresh cool air from outside on my bed at the attic, and now I'm asked to share this with you. Its a simple combination of a computer fan and a flexible airtube, which sucks air from the opening of your small window, and brings it to your bed! What do you need: • Computer fan (12 v, 12 cm ø): you can buy it at every computer shop or try to find it second-hand • Adapter (12 v, dc), praxis, gamma etc. You can even look for one with adjustable output (for example 3-6-9-12 V) . There are lots of them at Emmaus. • Flexible airtube (± 10 cm ø, lenght 2m used eg in kitchens) Praxis, Gamma, Geels (in Bennekom), GIJ etc. • Electrical wire (4 m)+ switch • Cardbord • Pieces of wood • Ducktape • (A mosquito net to put in front of your window if you don’t want to bring the mosquito’s right to your bed) How to make it: Make a frame of the wood so you can place the computer fan in front of the window. With the cardbord an ducktape you make a “box” with on one side the fan, and on the other the airtube. Attach the wire to the red and blue strings of the fan and put it through the airtube. You can also put a rope from the window to the place where you want the tube with fresh air in order to give the tube more strength. When you put the exit above your bed, the cool air will go down by itself cq. by the laws of physics. Put the switch in the wire on a place close to your bed so you can turn it off, and attach the and of the wire to the adapter. Test if the fan is working and turning in the right direction ( in order to blow air into your room) and place everything at the right place. Don't forget to the adapter out of the socket when your not using it! Now you can enjoy the hot summer nights! Wouter 31 9 Samenvatting: hoe lekker te slapen tijdens zwoele zomernachten..?

A long hot summer is coming, how to get some decent<br />
sleep during the hot nights?<br />
Summer brings not only joy outside the barrack, but also sweaty nights on the attic in your room, which might<br />
force you to sleep on the ground, or outside in a tent.<br />
After a hot summer some years ago, I thought about a solution to bring some fresh cool air from outside on my<br />
bed at the attic, and now I'm asked to share this with you.<br />
Its a simple combination of a computer fan and a flexible airtube, which sucks air from the opening of your<br />
small window, and brings it to your bed!<br />
What do you need:<br />
• Computer fan (12 v, 12 cm ø): you can buy it at every computer shop or try to find it second-hand<br />
• Adapter (12 v, dc), praxis, gamma etc. You can even look for one with adjustable output (for example<br />

• Flexible airtube (± 10 cm ø, lenght 2m used eg in kitchens) Praxis, Gamma, Geels (in Bennekom),<br />
GIJ etc.<br />
• Electrical wire (4 m)+ switch<br />
• Cardbord<br />
• Pieces of wood<br />
• Ducktape<br />
• (A mosquito net to put in front of your window if<br />
