Prof Hopes for Grant to Aid Recycling
By ROBERT E. DUNCAN
Ross E. McKenzie, professor of civil engineering and a member of the University of Kansas School of Law, Tuesday he would apply for a federal research grant to expand Center's recruitment and declamation Center's operations.
McKinney will request approximately $40,000 from the Federal Environmental Protection Agney to continue the present phase of operations, as well as to study the entire field and research involvement in the Lawrence community.
One of the reasons for requesting a grant was the Reclamation Center will have to vacate its present location in
The Emporium already has $1,000 to return to students from books sold it reopened Jan. 17. Gordon Goulden, Topeka sophomore and manager of the billing service, said recently.
The Emporium is a book exchange sponsored by the Student Bookstore with general reading textbooks, general reading materials and supplemental recommended readings for students. The Empire Library at the Jahawer Office in the Kansas Union and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Bookstore's Income Slowly Decreasing
Each student sets his own prices for the books he wants to sell.
The Union Bookstore returns on Tuesday and pays for course students pay for book Gooden said. However, students make 50 to 75 per cent off on books sold by the Union Bookstore.
Golden said all students who had used the Emporium had seemed happy with the returns they had received on their books.
"The Emporium is more successful than I figured it would by." Goulden said. "I need just a few minutes to really get on its feet."

Union Bookstore, said Friday, has nearly reached the bookstore's percentage profits have been decreasing as the costs of the retail business have increased.
MKINENY SAID, "The federal government is not interested in recycling and recycle I am very interested to see us do our best to develop a system."
A report of the bookstore's working capital and cash flow needs for the next five years said that the sales volume had leveled off the past two years. The report also noted that doing well to increase sales volume two per cent each year. A possible decrease in annual sales volume is expected if the present trend continues, some college students presently showing no growth as compared to previous years.
The report said that with very little increase in sales volume and with increased costs, the store's response to the "ensured" has to shrink. When it shrinks, the distribution of the bookstore earnings for students' benefits such as the patronage programs and the reserve for expansion, suffers. The income of distribution during 1971-72 is expected to be $148,000 and, by 1974-75, it is expected to be $185,266.
The costs of items for resale continue to go up, and corresponding retail price increases are not always applicable. Higher costs will increase as new minimum wage laws are approved, and labor unions and employees exert pressure for employers to take other expenses normally keep pace with the economic climate.
The working capital needs for each of the next five years have to be a minimum of $7,000 and should be $100,000, the report said. However the working capital based on current practices for profit distribution. Priorities will have to be established for the student participation in any distribution of bookstore profits. The institution that there will be any profits to disburse from year to year.
Federal funds could be provided under the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1970. This act was passed in 1970 to address the area of recycling and reuse.
The grant would provide for continued center operations and for a basic analysis of the economic, social and governmental influences that affect the waste of solid waste reclamation.
The Reclamation Center has operated at a deficit. KU Concessions absorbed the $24,066 loss in January through December 1971.
United States who had been able to make a profit from solid wastes.
"THERE HAS been a tendency for people to make improper corrections, but erroneously indicate that people waste." McKinley said. "McKinley wastes."
A portion of the proposed study would evaluate the economic aspect of the Reclamation Center's operations.
He said he knew of no one in the
A report on the operations of the KU Reclamation Center since the opening of the Center in January 2015, the goal has been to inform and involve as high a percentage of the total Lawrence population as possible.
Gary Jacobs, Shawne Mission sophomore and director of the Reclamation Center, said, "We've fulfilled our purpose." He adds, "I think in terms of making reclamation a municipal or county system.
"There is not a great deal of interest in recycling. If we could find a way to do it on a city-wide basis that is relatively economical, I don't think we would."
JACOBS CITED the experience of an instructor in an illustration of community acceptance. Students bring cans and bottles to school each day; then the Center transports these items to the stadium for recycling.
The scope of higher education in the Midwest may be broadened considerably in the future as a result of new organizations as the Mid-America State University Networks recently announced a 4-month study of cooperative programs of study at the University of Kansas, Iowa State University, Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Missouri.
The purpose of programs of cooperative study is to "find ways in which we can cooperate so that we can use their resources more efficiently" according to W. J. Lewis, dear of research administration
Study Programs See Expansion
A limited number of cooperative programs of study already exist between MASUA members. They allow students to attend a university and a desired program to attend a university in a participating state that has the desired program. The student would pay no more in enrollment fees than he did in hire from which he transferred.
Cooperative study programs and design programs of study throughout the Midwest and to help reduce the need for quality of education.
"As education becomes so very expensive and graduate work takes more time and equipment," cooperative programs of education will become more necessary as academic accreditation dean of the Graduate School.
