Glass, Metal Recycling Reclamation Center Goal
By BOB DICKSON
Kenan Staff Writer
Ecological sentiment that emerged a month ago as a Student Senate resolution to ban students from the campus containers from the campus has blossomed into one of four programs receiving national attention.
Steve Emerson, Tupa junior, authored the original Senate memorandum. Emerson talked to soft drink distributors about which used non-returnable containers. Jim Barnes, of the National Association, presented an alternative that he would still satisfy the client.
Barnes told Emerson about a plot program set up by the Coca-Cola company. The company took cans and unreturnable bottles and pulverized to be
THE MADISON project, now three months old, started from the amount of non-disposable solid wastes. A Madison firm, the manufacturer, pursuing wastes and using the end product as a rich topoil Forest Product Laboratory in Wisconsin, divides density calculation machine that could separate wastes into two divisions for individual recycling. The Coca-Cola Co. felt that crushing its own cans would be more efficient.
The Oca-Cola Co. of Kansas City has purchased two new Memorial Stadiums, the center. They will be installed Memorial Stadium, and the center should be in operation soon after second semester
FOREST JOLLY, director of the CU VU system, learned that the order was finalized and shipment of the machines would take about six months.
Since the Madison project began in September, two other
SST Gets New Lease On Life
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Senate-House negotiators agreed Thursday on a $210 million superport (transport ST) plane, permitting continued development of universal faster-than-sound jets.
The agreement was announced as President Nixon told a White House news conference he was planning to provide built to provide more jobs, improve the balance of payments by increasing U.S. sales abroad, and to make sure the United States had a central jet of its own in the future.
Nixon denied he had attempted to suppress reports by his scientific advisers on the SST's impact on the environment, an issue that may be a major role in the Senate's vote to further development funds.
The President said the plane's supporters could answer criticism by observationists and have assessed itself that the SST should be built.
reclamation centers have been set up in Atlanta, Georgia, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The common theme is that three reclamation centers—Financials,
Bill Anderson, director of the Madison center, said presently he is busying to book a $150-200 a month. The cost arises from the hiring of personnel to operate the center and shipping costs. The center also
otters a penny per pound rebate for all Coca-Cola containers brought by residents.
'The cost of cans is high. We would prefer two-way bottles any day.'
Bales of pulverized material are sold to recycling firms, but the market price is now $20 per bale. To get ahead of this, costs average a $8 bale. By conventional business standard: the Madison center, presently processing 5-7 tons of glass and a quarter of that in one week, is a financial disaster
The Coca-Cola Co. considers it a success. Beside the current ecological contribution it is making to Madison, the volume of cans is steadily increasing. Anderson said that the center is now reaching 2 per cent of the 200,000 persons in Madison. If he increases 30 per cent he estimates the support will self-support.
THE LAWRENCE center has been given until June 1 to prove itself. Like Madison, it will not be able to perform its duties. The KU Vending Service has agreed to pay the salaries of the staff and volunteers. The Coca-Cola volunteered to take all palverized material and handle shipping and resale. It also will accept donations.
The center will be judged on its response. Jolly said the concept of individual participation will "make the center go."
"It is an experiment in environmental control," he said.
"The university is the proper equipment. Simply by example, I try to show that the reclamation center will work," he said.
DON MAURER, general sales man of the Coors Beer Co., donates 25 barrels to be used for collection of cans and bottles throughout the city. He also provided assistance with problems of collection
The Coors Co. also agreed to buy all baled, pulverized aluminum at a "very attractive price," according to Emerson.
One proposal Joly will present is the passage of a city ordinance that would make it impossible to waste be separated before the trash trucks would collect them. The ordinance could Lawrence eventually express hope that eventually the center will expand out of the University building into a project for the entire city.
The co-sponsor of the reclamation center, the KU Vending Service has also set up a consumer preference to see if

the general public will buy soft drinks in paper cups.
"We set several different wending machines side by side in the basement of Summerfield to see what consumer preference is. It is hoped that disposable paper wending machines as the cups," said Jolly.
The Coca-Cola Co. would be the first to support a change to paper cups and returnable bottles. Will Oldberg of the firm's Kansas City office said, Coca-Cola was the first to enter the canned pop market.
"We were forced to enter by the competition," he said. "The cost of cans is high. We would prefer two-way bottles any day."
Emerson said the project was progressing well. "Right now we are planning to extend our plan to contact several area groups to help out, such as the Boy Scouts and church groups. Our help will make the center survive."
Mrs. W. W. Nash, who headed the Women's Chamber of Commerce in Clearwater City, Clearnup Campaign, said that the beautification committee of the chamber was enthusiastic about the establishment of the center for the women and girls. It was possible. Mrs. Nash was interested in the idea of gathering cans for the center, and donating them to a charity pound rebate to some charity.
Dole Knocks US Congress In Senate Talk
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Su-
Bole Bob, R-Kan., said Thursday
that "Congress has been on strike
for eleven months this year."
In a speech on the Senate floor tonight, she said that many are torn between the railroad strike, with unions blocking the railroads and the blameless labor of the miners.
"Here on Capitol Hill some have decided President Nixon should shoulder the major responsibility for the paralysis caused by the Iraq war," said. "I would certainly not wish to chill the exercise of free speech
but it is questionable for anyone on Capitol Hill to criticize the president for attempting to alleviate it

We carry these boots because we like to wear them. Don't settle for imitations. Fabiano is a proven name in hiking boots, and so is Dunhams, the other line we carry.
