College Republicans sponsor forum on environmental issues
By Chris Evans Kansan staff writer
In a move the opening speaker coined a "break with a traditional stereotype," the KU College Republicans last night sponsored an open forum on the environment.
John Beeker, chairman of College Republicans, said many students saw apathy in the Republican party concerning environmental issues.
Patricia Marvin, Lawrence recycling coordinator, and Rebecca Alden, member of Environments, a student environmental-awareness group, spoke to approximately 30 people about local recycling issues
"We want to prove them wrong," he said.

"There's not a lot of money in
recycling, but if you at the city's
costs and the environmental costs,
you're going to want to recycle,"
Alden said.
Athen said. Marvin said people were finding that recycling was not as difficult as they thought.
"Have you ever done laundry?"
she asked the audience. "That's reuse:

"I don't think that's going to happen in the next five years," Marvin said. "I'm not for it anyway. Right now you're asking people to recycle things not designed for recycling.
"Have you ever tried to remove a heat-gumed label from a plastic bottle?"
Recyclers who offer curb-side pickup services make recycling easier on a private and public level, she said. Because of local curbside efforts, more products are being recycled and a city-sponsored program would probably not be needed or implemented, Marvin said.
Alden said members of Environs wanted to establish a range of recycling programs at KU,
State Rep. Branson calls for third-year financing of Margin
"We're trying to get the University to use recycled paper, using it for your syllabus and things like that," she said.
State Rep. Jessie Branson met with KU Democrats last night and discussed upcoming issues that the Legislature would consider next session.
Branson, who has represented the 44th District in the Legislature since 1800, said financing the Margin of Excellence was a primary issue.

"The Margin of Excellence is a big
concern," she said. "We should be able to give it high priority because it is important, but there are many big issues for next session."
The Margin of Excellence is the Board of Regents three-year plan to bring the total financing of its seven institutions to 95 percent of their peer schools and to bring faculty salaries to 100 percent of their peers.
Branson said that every effort should be made to finance the third year of the Margin of Excellence but
that the Kansas Legislature had been reluctant to earmark money for any program.
"That way it starts to become a Pandora's Box," she said.
Branson said she thought that the Legislature was spending too much on a $3.7 billion highway bill passed last session.
She supported a new highway bill but wanted to spend $1 billion less, Branson said. More money is needed for education, day care, drug and

alcohol abuse programs, health care and better high school programs that would help prevent students from dropping out.
Branson also expressed concern that students were not counted for recent re-districting purposes, putting the 44th District below other districts.

This is the house that Jane built.
This is the computer that drafted the house that Jane built. A Macintosh.
jane used to spend most of her time producing the final model of her projects. Now, with a Macintosh computer, she spends most of her time creating fresh designs.
Graphics and architecture students can quickly expand their creative skills with the production time a Macintosh saves. That's because you'll have more graphic tools at your fingertips than you can fit on your drafting table. It's also powerful enough to solve your complex architectural problems. And learning how to use a Macintosh is easy. You can start using one today!
But that's only part of what a Macintosh gives you. Making a successful project is a process of reworking it...until it's perfect. A Macintosh will store your design so you can make changes without starting from scratch. So you can produce cleaner, more professional work in less time. Right up to your deadline.
Ohhh the long nights you've spent wishing for that kind of power.
The power to do your best at KU
