Earth Day blooms to a full week
Committee plans nine days of events
By Ashley Schultz
Kansan staff writer
The possibilities of all-cotton, non-bleached commemorative T-shirts and a parade without fossil-fuel motors were topics of discussion at last night's Kaw Valley Earth Week Committee meeting.
A dozen members of the Kaw Valley Earth Week Committee gathered at Simple Goods, 735 Massachusetts St., to offer reports and hammer out details for more than a week's worth of events surrounding Earth Day on April22.
Kerry Altenbernd, a member of the committee and co-owner of Simple
Goods, said he had been involved in meetings such as these since the first Earth Day in 1970 when he was a Lawrence High School senior. This year's observance will be the first weeklong observance for Lawrence, he said.
Discussions on scheduling, fund raising and liability insurance dominated the meeting.
The need for liability insurance depends on how the sponsorship of events is arranged, said Patricia Marvin, director of the Lawrence Recycling Office.
The first committee event in Lawrence will be April 16 at Wal-Mart Discount Cities, 3300 Iowa St., which will be giving away T-shirts made of recycled plastic soda bottles, Altenbernd said. Earth Week events will begin April 17 with nondenominational sunrise blessings for the
Earth and will conclude April 24 with sumet benedicences, he said.
Amy Trainer, president of KU Environs and Environs' representative at the meeting, said the committee tentatively had scheduled a Campanile Hill concert for April 23.
The committee hopes that its events will be the impetus for other organizations to plan events of their own, Altenbend said.
"What we're going for is to make Earth Day, eventually, a major holiday like Christmas or the Fourth of July," he said.
The committee would like to see both official and personal Earth Day observances, such as people picking up litter in their neighborhoods, he said.
"We're trying to empower people," Altenberd said. "It's not 'Somebody else has to do it for me.' It's that that

Cancer society to cuff 'em in effort to raise money for treatment programs
By Jamie Munn Kansan staffwriter
For a few hours today, one of Lawrence's outlet malls will become a rail.
And the American Cancer Society will be collecting the bail when it holds its third Jail and Bail fund raiser from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. today at the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza.
Aneita Burton, co-chair of the event, said off-duty police officers would "arrest" local citizens and lock them in a "ball" at the shopping center.
"We're looking forward to having a lot of fun," Burton said.
Burton said that she had contacted prospective convicts and that about 25 people already had agreed to be arrested for the event.
Jo Andersen, city commissioner, and Paula Martin, a local lawyer, are the volunteer judges who will decide the amount of bail for prisoners, Burton said.
Martin, who has led fund raisers for the American Cancer Society in the past, said that this was her first time participating in the Jail and Bail event.
"It's a lot more fun than just putting a check in the mail," Martin said.
After they are sentenced, the con-
victis will be able to call friends to raise pledges, or bail, to leave.
And, for a donation of $15, people can arrange surprise arrests throughout the day.
Burton said a special telephone number would be set up to take special requests for arrests.
But officers making the surprise arrests won't force anyone to go. The money will benefit those needing transportation for cancer treatments.
The American Cancer Society also will be taking non-arrest donations during the event.
Jail and bail
The Lawrence chapter of the American Cancer Society is sponsoring "Jail and Bail." A person who gives a $1.5 donation can have a friend "hauled away" by off-duty police officers and put in a fake jail at Lawrence Riverfront Plaza, 1 Riverfront Plaza.
The event lasts from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Call 865-6867 to arrange a surprise arrest.
