Students go green for awareness week
BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com
Students may find that the University appears a little greener this week.
KU students will bike, recycle and fry chicken for Energy Awareness Week, which kicks off today.
Lauren Licata, Lenexa senior and president of the Alternative Energy Society, said that the group, along with several other student organizations, will host events throughout the week to help educate KU students about environmental causes.
"We wanted to make our presence known on campus," Licata said.
Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said this was the first time multiple student groups had come together for a whole week of environmental awareness. He said the week would allow environmental awareness to be reinforced
"There are small things that everyone can do to make a difference," Severin said.
Severin said he was especially excited for the reusable bag program. Today, reusable bags containing information about the environment and coupons to Lawrence businesses will be passed out around campus. Severin said that, in addition to serving the environment, the program also helped local businesses.
Highlights of the week also include a showing of the film "Kilowatt Ours" on Tuesday and a roundtable discussion on Wednesday.
Recycling services will be offered on campus Thursday at Memorial Stadium and Friday at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
On Friday, the Alternative Energy Society will fry chicken for KU students on Wescoe Beach to collect vegetable oil and to turn it into biodiesel fuel.
Licata said that it was important
for KU students to learn what they could do to help the environment

"I think every generation has an issue. This is ours," Licata said. "People need to start realizing that."

Protesters arrested after blocking Army shipments
OLYMPIA, Wash. — At least a dozen people were arrested as demonstrators rallied to protest military cargo shipments arriving from Iraq at the port in the state capital.
Nine protesters were arrested Saturday for investigation of violating the city's pedestrian interference ordinance, but all were later released without being cited, said police Sgt. Ken Carlson.
-Sarah Neff
At least three people were arrested at that location, and at least nine more were arrested when they tried to block an entrance to Interstate 5.
The protest was part of a week of demonstrations by Olympia Port Militarization Resistance, which has protested the port's use by the USNS Brittin, which landed Monday to unload equipment that was used in Iraq.
Police Cmdr. Tor Bjornstad said officers asked the protesters to move before using pepper spray and batons.
