County Probes Waste Disposal
By TOM THRONE
Suburban Sacramento of the Douglas County Solid Waste Management Committee discussed ways to handle solid waste in the county last Thursday, David Blackman, chairman of the committee, said Monday.
Three of the seven subcommittees held public meetings.
The purpose of the committee is to research different possibilities of organization and cost of solid waste disposal.
In 1988, a federal government review said the country had a solid waste problem, Blackman said.
He said the committee was formed because the state decided to fight the problem on the county level.
"EACH COUNTY has to have a committee. The must submit a plan to the state by June 30, 1972." Information by 1976 "Hackman said."
"Solid waste is anything that is solid and that you want to dispose of." Blackman said.
"The Red Balloon," a French film classic about a little boy who tames a balloon, and "Why Man Creates," an animated history of the creator's place in the world, by J. Roberts. In the Spooter Museum of Art.
The series was originally begun for junior and senior high school students, but is now open to the public. It is sponsored by the Wichita Public Library.
The two films are the first in the Film Series for Young People, sponsored by The Lawrence Museum of Art and the Lawrence Art Guild.
"This is the first time in years that we have offered such a wide range of courses to our museum curator for education, but we will continue if there is a need."
"The films were chosen on the basis of quality and unusual treatment of a theme." Brooking wrote, "I have a potpourri of excellence."

"If the buries it on his own land, he can get 90 per cent of his cost paid for by the government, he uses it for solid waste. Mr McKinney's said Ross McKinney, professor of civil engineering.
"Louisiana Story," which tells about the arrival of oil derricks in the Louisiana bayou country, March 12. Films which will be released on November 9 are "Symmetry," an animated film defining the meaning of symmetry; "Dot and Line," which explores two plane shapes; "Painting in the Sand; A Navajo Ceremony," a portrayal of the traditional sand painting healing rite as performed by a Navajo girl named Lia Thomas The Loan's Necklace; an art exhibition water bird
"The Titan," the story of Michaelangelo, will be shown March 28.
THE FOURTH method of collection the committee discussed was that each person carry his waste to a sanitation landfill.
"Nature as Reality," a comparison of realist paintings with actual scenes of life; "End of One," a comment on the environmental situation; "Daisy," will be shown April 8.
"Nanook of the North," the study of the communal life of the Eskimos will appear April 16.
On April 23, "The Chicken",
"ChairYale", "Glass" and "A
Place to Stand," a conservation
film, will be shown.
The committee would figure a cost and cost of the first time plan and cost of the first time plan. The plan would be figured in cost and time for the person to take the time.
"A sanitary land fill is a site where the waste is deposited and kept in an area eight to 12 inches deep," Blackman said. "The landfill can then be used for treatment of his has disease problems. A dump site, however, has waste dumped in it and is open to breeding from rats flys and mosquitoes. Dump sites are not allowed."
BLACKMAN SAID the finance subcommittee discussed financing sold waste in regard to the matter there were no laws.
was a general revenue tax which would be added to the property tax. Another plan would be a combination of the first two. A special assessment to be figured upon was also owned who was also considered.
The subcommittee discussed four ways of financing the services charged by the charge, which would bill for the services. The second method
THEY WILL research and evaluate all the possibilities to see which is most suitable for Douglas County, he said.
"The special assessment is not used to any great degree around the nation," Blackman said.
The management and Organization subcommittee met to discuss the organization of the system.
The KU Rodeo and Riding Club doesn't charge any membership fees and is open to any student. Even if a student isn't a member of the club, Lawrence said, he musticipate in the club's activities.
The subcommittee planned five ways to organize the project. The first was a system run entirely by the county. Another plan was a system run like a public utility. The third plan was the Municipality plan each city in the county runs its own system. However, the system is responsible to the county government.
The fourth method was the multi-county system which is like the county system but involves more than one county.
THE LAST system suggested was a combination of any of the other systems.
The chances were good that Haskell will have a rodeo next year, he said, and perhaps the clubs would get together then.
Lawrence said he had talked with officials at Haskell and suggested combining the two into a joint unit, staging a joint joke. However, the situation at Haskell was similar to the situation at KU, Lawrence said, and Haskell would probably not have a rodeo
After the committee completes its research, it will then conduct a series of experiments in the scheme showing the advantages and the disadvantages of each system.
KU Club Cancels Rodeo Plan, Cites Lack of Student Support
Dave Lawrence, president of the Dave Lawrence school, said last week that lack of money and student support had prevented chances for a spring rodeo here.
Lawrence said that although there were about 20 people on the clubs membership roles, only a third attended the meetings regularly.

Lawrence said he thought
many people were under the impression that if they didn't own a horse, the cost of riding would be prohibitive. If there were enough people in the club, he might have had a reasonable rate wouldn't be difficult. If enough people were interested, Lawrence said, the
club could even give riding lessons and possibly even teach rodeo style riding.
Lack of support is the clubs' main problem.
"Without student support," he said, "there's nothing we can do."
