HAVE YOU TALKED WITH YOUR
WIFE ABOUT AIDS?
Don't you people have anything else to talk about?
So, you've heard a lot about AIDS lately?
More than enough. And my wife has too. So don't bother her.
Do you think she worries about AIDS?
I don't know.
What if she does?
She wouldn't be the only one. Everybody does.
Do you worry about it?
Doesn't everybody?
So, here you are worrying alone when your wife is probably thinking the same thing.
I never thought about that.

Campus cafeterias try to recycle
By Erik Bauer
Kansan staff writer
Obstacles prevent completion of effort
Recycling at KU cafeterias ranges from aluminum can collection to a dishroom employee who picks up newspapers from dining room tables.
But while recycling at the cafeterias has increased recently, food service officials say they have several obstacles to overcome before they can recycle cafeteria waste more completely.
"We're becoming more aware of (recycling)," said Jay Glatz, manager of food services at the Kansas and Burge unions. "I think we've got to take a look at it and make changes that are necessary."
Glatz said the union cafeterias began recycling aluminum cans a year ago. Food services is looking into the possibility of recycling glass and packaging, Glatz said.
Last year, the union cafeterias considered purchasing a polystyrene foam crushing machine. Glatz said. But the idea was discarded because the company that was going to supply
the machine could not guarantee a long-term commitment to the program and the environmental ombudsman's office could not determine if the machine was environmentally safe.
If the program had been started and then discontinued, it would have hurt the momentum of recycling and environmental awareness on campus, said Sue Ask, assistant environmental ombudsman.
Glatz said the union cafeterias had had success with a project called the "mug club." Sofar, the cafeterias have sold 11,000 refillable mugs through the project. he said.
Because customers use the cups for refills quite frequently, they have reduced paper waste by 20 percent, he said.
Union food services does not have an official newspaper collection program, but a dishroom employee daily collects papers left lying on cafeteria tables, Glatz said.
At Wescoe TerraceCafeteria, which is operated by KU Conversions, workers this semester started to recycle glass and paper in addition to aluminum cans, said Paul Epperson, assistant manager of the cafeteria.
At University residence halls, halls must begin their own recycling programs in accordance to the policies of the Association of University Residence Halls and individual hall governments.
Cafeterias at residence halls, however, only recycle the grease from their friers. A company in Topeka collects the grease every two weeks, said Peggy Smith, associate director of student housing food services.
Smith said she and others on a committee of employees from each cafeteria had discussed a comprehensive recycling program, but had not implemented it yet.
Smith cited several reasons for the lack of a recycling program in the residence hall cafeterias, including the expense of buying can crushers, cardboard bailers and other recycling materials for six residence halls now, when a consolidated cafeteria is scheduled to open in Lewis Hall in January 1993.
Smith said other problems included sanitary storage of the recyclable materials, which need to be kept in airtight containers. Also, the back entrances of the cafeterias only have one loading dock each, and trash cannot be placed in doorways where fresh food is delivered, she said.
