Ecology comeback evident in surge of recycling

The ecology movement, which at one time led to a presidential proclamation of Earth Day, appears to be making a slow move in gathering some community and campus groups.
Bill Bullock, spokesman for the Douglas County Environmental Improvement Council, said recently that his group planned to sponsor a Recycle '75 program patterned after a similar program undertaken this year.
Bullock said the council was encouraged by the amount of interest shown at its bank, which is the largest in the country.
He said the council was stressing an educational program in order to build broad-based community support for recycling programs.
According to Arly Allen, president of the corporation, the Whomper is the oldest continually operating reclamation center in the United States. Its new location is located free by Kansai Fibreboard, Inc., and the trucks it uses are furnished by U-Hau.
The Whomper, long beset by financial and personnel difficulties, is back in operation at a new location, 6th and Massachusetts streets.
The council also hopes to be able to speak in students in the Law School. Mr. Zinken said he would be heard, he said.
The Whomper, a machine to crush cans and glass, was originally funded by the Student Senate and situated on campus. After a succession of managers and poor financial reports it was moved to 8th and New Hampshire streets.
He said the corporation had been able to hire a manager to work with the volunteer staff. The Whomper is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
a high, according to Allen.
The Whomper was reorganized as a non-profit corporation in January 1974. The Senate no longer funded the project, entitled the KU Reclamation Center, and ownership was originally provided by the Kansas City Gce-CoL-Col., passed to the corporation.
Allen said that cans could be deposited at several Lawrence schools, at Penn House and in front of the Whomper.
Although the Whomper is operating profitably, Allen said, it is far from a financial success.
Allen said the Whomper was holding its own financially. Glass is no longer accepted for crushing because of the low prices paid, however prices paid for crushed cans are at

That location was also abandoned because of the high rent charged and because the trash plumbed in the alley was filled by fire hazard by Lawrence city officials.
"At this point our purpose is to keep alive the concept of recycling," he said.

Buser said that the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation Board furnished his budget and that he already had used 40 to 50 per cent of it.

Katherine Giele, assistant director for Kansas Union programs, said she thought the fee would increase the budget and enable more speakers to come. But she said that the cost of her program as a speaker who was part of the educational process should have an admission fee.

Gregory is a comedian-lecturer and Dana is a Catholic activist in Northern Ireland.
Buser said that the University Events Committee supported his position about the fee and that he had the support of the SUA board.

SUA to charge admission fee for two forums
Students will be charged a 25-cent admission fee to attend the first two lectures of the SUA Forums, Steve Buser, Forums board chairman, said yesterday.
Buser said the fee was instituted this year because he wanted to improve the caliber of his rifle.
Buser said he had spent more money for the Gregory and Devil appearances than had been spent for past speakers because he used to be a type of speakers students wanted to see.
He said he would sound out student opinion after the first two appearances to the team, but he wasn't sure.
Charges will be for the Dick Gregory and Bernadette Devil appearances.
Baser said he thought the fee was reasonable compared with fees at other
