8 University Daily Kansan Thursday, April 10, 1980 Earth Day to revive '70s ecology concern By KATHY BRUSSELL Staff Reporter Some KU students remember joining the fight for ecology by picking up trash or watching demonstrations on Earth Day 1970. Exactly 10 years later, on April 22, Earth Day 80 is expected to show that the environmentalist movement is still alive in the United States. Ecology, a foreign term to most people a decade ago, became the battle cry of environmentalists in the '70s in their war on pollution. **EARTH DAY 1790** was a red-welter day for conservationists all over the country to concretize its own over protection their support for restriction of industrial progress and preservation of natural resources. in celebration of national Earth Day 1980, as declared by President Carter, several Lawrence and KU groups have organized a nationwide focus interest on local environmental issues. Highlights of the week, beginning April 20, include a solar bike tour, a mini-festival in South Park and a number of informal experiences for conservation and alternative energy sources. The first significant event in Lawrence has already begun. FROM NOW UNTIL April 26, the KU Ecology Club is sponsoring an aluminum recycling camp with a cash prize. All campus and community groups can compete by bringing aluminum cans to a container south of the recreation center in South Park. Collections will be on three successive Saturdays, April 12, 19 and The group contributing the most aluminum will win a cash prize equal to one-half the value of the cans turned in. The remaining money will go to the newly recycling program, which will handle the recycling of both aluminum and newspaper. In addition, the Ecology Club plans to ask local bars to donate aluminum cans in exchange for publicity. By setting up comps for bars and restaurants, she brings in more money and makes the contest more enticing for local groups, Gary KU Ecology Club member, said this week. OTHER ACTIVITIES will be reminiscent of the first Earth Day, which featured rallies, teach-ins, street fairs and festivals in cities across the nation. Groups active in planning local Earth Day 80 events include the Appropriate Technology Center, the Sierra Club and the Jayawhak Abubon Society. least two weeks ago I recall seeing the same notice up in McColm. I did not see the same notice up here until Thursday or Friday, which is at least a week later." ORP... From page one THIS WOULD HAVE given the JRP residents about one day to get their contacts to the emergency room, but seen only one sign in JRP—at the front desk. SebLENaer said he were aware of the JRP staff. Sibenella said he had been aware or the imminent closing of the residence halls to current students and had gotten his contract in early. "I had the same thing happen last year," he said. "I remember when the first day for resewing contracts was. I didn't think it was good." I went out, time I went in and they said it was closed. "They (ORP) just said that they were very sorry and that the halls closed out very quickly and that space were only available in McCollum Hall (which is all up- perclassmen anyway). I had to live in McCollum for two months until I was finally able to get to back over there (JRP)." SIEBENALER SAID ONE of the main problems with closing the walls was that it caught many current freshmen off-ward. "Nothing would be wrong if at least the *nothing*, who hadn't this experience, could be notified," he said. "Last year, being freshman, I took it for granted. just seemed to close out two or three days after those notices were handed out. "I think the problem could be solved if more noticees were put up or if you just told every resident." Willig agreed "Most of the guys I know that were affected by this were freshmen and didn't know the ropes," he said. "It's not so much the cost, but it's just the action that was prompt." Car pool unites commuters, cars By STEVE OBERMEIER Staff Reporter For more than 2,000 KU students, K-10, I-7 and Highway 40 are the arteries that serve as a lifeline to their continuing education. For that reason, the Student Assistance Center, in conjunction with Student Union Activities, set up the Car Pool Exchange Program last January. "I suspect there are reasons of housing, employment and family responsibilities that these students commute." Lorma Student Assistance Center, said yesterday. "I think extra efforts need to be made to provide special service to these commuting students. The complexities of their lives need to be considered." The program involves completing an OTHER STUDENTS couldn't use the program because of schedule conflicts, Grunz said. information card at the Kansas Union and filing it according to geographic zones so commuters can contact one another. Students using the program evaluated it February 16, 2014. The students last week, were favorable. Thirty-seven of 99 CPEQ participants responded to the question, these 20 students did through the program. Twenty six of the evaluation respondents commute from the Kansas City area. The majority of respondents were graduate rank by seniors, juniors and sophomores. BRAD DELAY, Lenexa junior, spends at least 80 minutes each weekday commuting "The car pool makes gas cheaper for me and has less wear on the car." Delay said. He said he commuted because his wife works in Kansas City. Delay said that he sometimes missed college activities and that the driving got tiring. Charlene Townsend, Overland Park sophomore, agreed. Townsend, who spends at least an hour and a half commuting to school, drove the car pool helped everyone cut gas costs. THE STUDENT SENATE is in the building and feasibility of serving Kansas City-to-Lawrence commuters. Steve McMurry, chairman of the Senate Transportation Board, said: Mmurry said a commuter service provider who teaches members who teach at the Rensselaer Center in Overland Park. The commuter bus, funded by the University, is for faculty travel. The Student Senate sponsored a bus for Kansas City-to-Lawrence commuters for a brief time in 1973. Grunz said the Car Pool Exchange Program would continue next year, and possibly this summer; if there was enough interest. "It (CPEP) is easy to organize and even if the program benefits only a few people, it will be worth it," Grunz said. One evaluation respondent wrote, "The program gets the car poolers in touch with one another, which is 90 percent of the solution."
