Earth Week Starts Today
By JAY GLICK
Kansan Staff Writer
Earth Week '73 begins today, but a lack of interest, coordination and publicity have resulted in fewer activities in Douglas County than in past years.
Douglas County conservation groups have directed their Earth Week activities toward the proposed Tallgrass Prairie National Park.
A slide show by Patricia Duncan entitled "The Tallgrass Prairie of Kansas," and a film about the prairie will be shown at 7:30 tonight in Dyche Auditorium. Raymond Hall, professor emeritus of systems and ecology, will speak after the program.
Duncan's slide show and the film also will be shown at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Lawrence Public Library.
The Jayhawk Audubon Society, Zero Population Growth (ZPG), Douglas County Environmental Improvement Council, Lawrence Sierra Club and KU Museum of Natural History Associates are sponsoring the slide and film presentations and a photo

Conservation groups cite a number of reasons for reduced interest in this year's work.

The slide show, film and photo exhibit were planned before Earth Week was here and happened to coincide with the annual celebration of Richard Ruckert, associate professor of economics and president of the Douglas County Environmental Improvement Council.

Following each of the speeches, a panel of educators discussed the speakers' views. Anthony Mansueto of McKee, Berger and Mansueto, Chicago, gave the final address Friday.

Van Auken said there was a definite sense of apathy about the environment among
"People are tired of organizations and causes no matter what they are," she said. Conservation groups work all the time, Valerie Bardwell said. Week is like having a study week in school.
She said that Earth Week was a good starting point but that showing concern for the environment for one week wasn't enough.
Ruppert said Earth Week was not as well publicized this year as in past years.
The environmental movement has changed from one stressing awareness of problems to one of trying to solve problems, he said.
People still are concerned about the environment, according to Ruppert, but the frustrating tasks of fighting for legislation to save it have caused some to lose interest
Dennis Lynch, assistant professor of journalism and publicity chairman for Sierra Club, said people are more used to news than ever before. This has reduced interest in Earth Week.
*On the whole, people are as concerned as
*few years ago with environmental problems.*

However, Lynch admitted he was biased by the people with whom he came into contact.
Robert Swinh, professor of psychology and program chairman for Sierra Club, said he didn't think there was a lack of interest in Earth Week.
"It's just not the fad right now," Swinth said.
Swinth said Earth Week served a valuable function by allowing interested groups to interact, discuss problems and find out what one another were doing.

Political power and Latin American development and history will be the topic of Adams' speech. He will speak at 8 p.m. in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
The program was sponsored by a $200,000 Ford Foundation Grant KU received because of its history of excellence in Central American studies, Aureli said.
