TOPEKA-Environmentally, Lawrence Douglas County aren't bad places to live.
Kansas specialists in solid waste disposal and air and water pollution control said yesterday that the area was well on its way in solving its environmental problems.
Landfills aren't usually built on prime agricultural land, Duncan said. Rather, he said, they are built on clay soil, lined with sand or gravel to keep them from toepit in the underground water supplies.
The statements were made during a press conference at Forbes Air Force Base. The event was among the activities planned by the Department of Health and Environment (DHE) in recognition of Environmental Awareness Week, Nov. 1-9.
House of Representatives calls for extended deadlines and additional federal expenditures of $5 to $7 billion each year, Duncan said.
Trash is dumped in a large hole and periodically covered with dirt, he said, on which parks have eventually been built in some parts of the state.
Gov. Robert F. Bennett, in brief remarks at the beginning the conference, lauded the work of DHE to improve the Kansas environment.
J. Howard Duncan, chief of environmental sanitation, said that Douglas County would probably have a solid waste management system by June 30, 1976.
Some details must be worked out, including the transfer of garbage from rural areas to the site, but county commissioners will be operational by the deadline.
Duncan said most solid wastes were either burned or dumped in sanitary land-fills. Incarceration, he said, is quite costly and feasible only for large industries that can afford air pollution controls. A sanitary landfill is preferred by most counties, he
However, he said McPherson County has a device that shreds garbage and paper waste into pieces that can be sprinkled over the ground in such a manner that attract insects or rodents. Though he didn't have an agent, he said the device was mice costly.
The State Solid Waste Management Act requires that each county have a system by which it can manage its waste.
Unlike conventional garbage dumps, which aren't covered, a landfill won't任

Fortunately, Duty said, Lawrence received funds to upgrade its sewage system. The bill for the Lawrence improvements will be between $9.5 and $10 million, he said.
The Douglas County solid waste plan calls for the trash to be dumped in the present Lawrence landfill, which is in north Lawrence.

Howard Saiger, director of air quality control, said that installment of air pollution emission controls at the airport in Dallas, 1000 E. 23rd St, was a major problem in Douglas County.
The State Clean Air and the Federal Air Quality
Plans that plant have it operating in December.
The plant has been developing its controls and expected to have them worked by now.
However, workers at a Buffalo, N.Y. foundry, which has the contract to build a large fan needed to operate the controls, have gone on strike, he said.
Saiger said plant representatives would have to testify in DHE hearings and would probably get a short grace period before fines are imposed.
The technicians developed a system that separates part of the high moisture content of the ammonia nitrate, a gas released from the smoke stacks at the plant, before it's used. The system is recently patented the system, he said, and several other industries will soon adopt it.
Duncan said no cases of illness from the emissions have ever been reported in New York.
Because neither air quality act provides grants for technicians, the plant had to use its own technicians to design the controls, he said.
Donald Sneetten, of the division of water quality planning and surveillance, said that Lawrence should have an adequate secondary sewage treatment system by
Amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act require that all municipalities have secondary treatment, the treatment of soluble wastes, by July 1, 1977.
When Congress approved the amendments in 1972, it allocated $18 billion to

He said policy proposals for the sale of beer would be voted on Nov. 12 in the Student Senate. If approved, the proposals would then go to the administrative Council and finally to President George Budd, he said.

Debbie Haynes, body student president at Wichita State University, said final policies would be decided Nov. 10 by the Campus Activity Center Board of Directors.
"Beer is a long way from being put into instigation, but it will be sold in the Union," he said. "Where, I'm not sure." Luthi said that there was concern at
"After that, we'll begin selling beer," she said.
Dou Bohander, body student president at Emporia Kansas State College, said, "We'll be a strong force here."

Richard Duty, chief of water pollution control, said Congress didn't realize that the city had been contaminated.

WE ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE A few weeks ago in an article in the U.D.K. Chuck Sack accused the剧院s in Lawrence of failing to present them—because, quite frankly, except for the work of Bergman and Fellini, we don't do enough business on them to pay their way. And movies are our BUSINESS. But perhaps we are wrong. So is our challenge: An excellent picture by a fine director which we were going to pass by. If just they show us films that we buy a ticket and we can then maybe Sack is right. If so there are many more available and we will be more than happy to bring them to Lawrence.

EXPLORING: The Film, "WOMANHOUSE."
In 1972, Mirmir Schipira and Judy Chucky, professors at the California institute of the Arts, conceived of turning a 17-room house in Los Angeles into an environment that would allow women to work in the bathroom, and bedrooms into a visually compelling statement that searched out and revealed heightening everyday experiences which have defined the role of women—ironing, cooking, dancing, laundry, and theater. These events were presented which complemented and distilled themes developed in the house itself. Through humor and warmth, the film records the impact of women artists who worked together, exploring and expressing the inner world of women.
EXPRESSING! small group responses. A variety of workbooks will be offered, such as:
MIND/BODY—mind techniques of using body as a medium for expressing emotion and playing roles
