Bioreionalism was born out of dissatisfaction with the traditional environmental movement, Snyder said. Rather than relying on lawsuits and impact statements, bioreionalism "questions the assumptions about human dominance."
Jim Aldritt, a research assistant in the department of geography, said he liked the terrain.
"I followed his works all my life."
"Always. He's a great-root's attitude. He's not a super-jurist."
Although Snyder described himself as "just an idea man" for bioregionalism, his emphasis on nature and his belief in the equality of humans and plants and animals goes back at least to the late 1960s.
SNYDER GAINED EARLY prominence as a member of the beat generation in the 1950s, along with Ginsberg and novelist
He brought to members of the beat movement his interest in Eastern philosophy, particularly Zen Buddhism. But while the beat generation was a movement in rebellion against the literary and social orthodoxy of the period, Snyder went on to build his work on the importance of the community and the family.
"The Beats were a time of breaking away," he said.
As important as travel is to his writing, Snyder said the focus of his life was his "centeredness."
Jack Keroac, Snyder served as the model for the central character in Keroac's a novel.
"I've always written from a sense of place," he said. "I write as someone who comes from somewhere and goes back there."

the temptation to gamble would prove to be too much for some people and would lead to an unhealthy life for many Kansans.
Douville said he had witnessed the poor day of life of many gamblers at racetracks in New York.
He said he did not want the issue to go to a vote because he was elected to the Legislature to make the best decision for the people of Kansas.
J. Elwood Slover, a retired professor of law at Washburn University, said he had not decided whether he was for or against the issue, but he agreed that allowing the people vote on pari-mutual betting was going against the foundation of the state constitution.
CHARLES WRIGHT, FORMER mayor of Topeka and a member of Kansans for Life at Its best! , said Nebraskans paid higher personal property taxes than Kansans even
though Nebraska made $9.2 million in pari-mutuel taxes last year.
Wright said Kansans eventually would be paying to rehabilitate people corrupted by the virus.
William Terrrell, a professor at Wichita State University, spoke before the Rev. Richard Taylor, head of Kansans for Life at Its Best!
The study Terrell presented to the committee was paid or by the Kansas University.
State Sen. Edward Reilly Jr., RLewenworth, committee chairman, said he had allowed Terrell to speak first because Terrell neither favored nor opposed the issue. Terrell spoke about the potential economic effects of pari-mutuel betting.

Commission will consider financing of new complex
By MIKE GREEN
Staff Reporter
The plans for a large recreational complex to be built in southwestern Lawrence could be given a boost tonight at the Lawrence City Commission meeting.
At its meeting, the commission is scheduled to discuss possible financing alternatives for the recreational complex, which will be in Holcom Park, Lawrence Avenue and 45th Street, asked by the project's steering committee to finance half of the estimated $1 million cost.

If the commission makes a commitment to help finance the project, then the steering committee can begin raising the other $500,000, Fred DeVictor, director of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation department, said.
The plan calls for the building to be as accessible as possible to the handicapped. There will be no steps or curbs to hinder wheelchairs, according to the plan. Also, the interior of the building will be designed to easier mobility for people in wheelchairs.
"The whole key to it is that it's a very free design," he said. "It will do two things. It will
The proposal calls for the construction of a 17,465 square-foot building, DeVictor said. The complex will have a large gymnasium, a large kitchen and an women's and men's locker rooms with saunas.
SOUTHWESTERN LAWRENCE WAS picked for the proposed site because it met several criteria, DeVictor said. Some of the criteria are that the site must be on city-owned land, that it must be next to an existing outdoor recreational area and that it be easily accessible by cars and bicycles.
Building a big recreational center has been something the parks staff has talked about for the last few years, DeVictor said. Early last year, an architect was hired and a feasibility study was done, he said. This study was then presented to the City Commission.
City Commissioner Nancy Shortz said the complex was something Lawrence definitely needed.
