End of school year gives KU students chance to recycle
Furniture, clothes can be donated to local charities
By Vicki Bode
Kansan staff writer
About this time of year, trash bins overflow with such things as couches and clothing.
Some of these items will become treasures for students willing to dig through the bins. But those items not retrieved end up in overflowing land-fills.
Shelley Wells, environmental educational coordinator at KU's Ombudsman Office, said students often were busy at the end of the year and consequently threw away useful items when they moved.
"We're encouraging people to donate their things." Wells said.
She said moving provided students an opportunity to be environmentally conscious. Reusing and recycling things reduces the amount of waste generated and reduces the environmental impacts associated with landfills.
"Just the fact that the landfills are getting full is a problem," she said. "So the less we put in them, the better."
Some landfills will not accept certain items, such as lamps. Also, refrigerators that are thrown away often leak chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs, which break down the ozone layer, she said.
"Refrigerators should have the CFCs reclaimed before they are thrown away," Wells said.
Recycling locations
The following organizations will accept anything from clothing to furniture:
Disabled American Veterans Thrift Store, Southern Hills Mall, 23d and Oudsahi streets

Some recycling facilities have vampires, machines that remove the CFC's, she said.
Wells also suggested donating to local charities old clothing and textbooks that bookstores won't buy back
Fred McElhene, associate director of student housing, said boxes would be available in the lobbies of the residence halls for students to place their discarded clothing in.
"Students look through their clothing and find things and they say, 'I'm never going to wear this in the real world,' so they throw it away," McElene said. "So we accept those items and give them to the Salvation Army."
He said he thought most useful items were taken home by the students.
"Most of the stuff students trash is junk," McElhene said. "I don't think many of the things would be of value."

KU jazz group wins award
By Jay Koester
Special to the Kansan
For the second consecutive year, Dan Gailley, director of jazz studies, opened up the May issue of Down Beat magazine and saw that the jazz vocal group he directs had received one of the magazine's highest honors.
The KU Jazz Singers won the Down Beat award for Outstanding Performance in Jazz Vocal Choir, an award it also won in May 1992.
"It's a huge honor," Gailey said, "especially since this is the second year in a row that we have received this award. This really establishes the University of Kansas as having one of the finest programs in the United States."
Galley said the group faced stiff competition for the award, including some of the top groups in the United States and Canada. Galley recorded four songs for the magazine with this fall's group.
He said that the group that won the award in 1982 was much different than the group that won the award this year.
"We had a great amount of turnover from last year, so this year's group was mainly new people," Gailey said. "For them to win the award is very satisfied."
Along with the award for the jazz singers, *Down Beat* also gave Paul Haar, Fremont, Neb., senior, the award for Best Classical Instrumental Soloitor for his work on the alto saxophone. Haar won the award after sending in a tape of his junior recital.
"It's kind of a dream of mine, so it was exciting to find out that I won," Haar said.
Vince Grojek, associate professor of music and instructor of saxophone, said the award was unique because Haar played the saxophone instead of an instrument normally considered for classical music awards.
National tour to promote safe alcohol use
By Dan England
A natural buzz
That's what a KU student organization that promotes an alternative lifestyle to drinking alcohol will be pushing when it brings the Collegiate Health and Fitness Tour to campus.
Promoting Alcohol Responsibilities Through You, or PARTY, is helping sponsor the nationwide event, which raises students awareness of alcohol through games and activities, said Andre Gacetta, tour director.
"We try to give students other things to do than sit in their roomall night and get drunk." Gacetta said.
wall that students can climb by wearing a Velcro suit will be among the activities geared towards giving students an athletic high, Gacetta said.
"Many students learn more about their drinking habits." Gaccetta said of the events. "They also learn that there are other ways to feel great."
The tour will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow at the playing field between Robinson Center and the Computer Center. The event is free.
The tour has visited 25 campuses, Gacetta said. The University of Kansas will be its last stop.
Janine Demo, health educator and event organizer, said she received a call three weeks ago from Gacetta asking her whether the tour could visit KU.
“It’s been non-stop ever since.” Demo said. “But I’m glad we are doing this around Stop Day because Stop Day is a real beer-bash time.”
The tour is sponsored by BACCHUS, a national group with organizations across college campuses. PARTY is a BACCHUS organization.
semester — as well as a designated driver program, where Lawrence bars provide free soft drinks to designated drivers, Julia Huntsinger, PARTY adviser, said.
The organization encourages KU students to get involved. Meetings are held every other week, and students can do as much or as little work as they want, Huntsinger said.
Dawn Sanford, White City junior, and Chris Terry, Topeka junior, will be the organization's co-presidents next fall. Both have been in the organization for two years.
Twenty-one students were in the program this year. Sanford said the goal of the organization was not to make students quit drinking but to help them drink safely.
"When students' peers are telling them that drinking safely is a problem, they are more likely to listen and be aware of the problem," Sanford said.
