"Our main objective is to reach the people who haven't thought about recycling," said Liz Smith, head of the Recycling Task Force.
Every day this week, there will be recycling information tables in the Kansas Union and in front of Wescoe Hall, she said.
Smith said that people from the recycling industryourourspoking community were among the first to notice.

The sheets will include places in Lawrence where people can buy products that help conserve natural resources, such as low-flow shower heads and recycled paper. she said.
McEelwe said members of Environons also would be sitting at the information tables helping with the newly created adopt-a-box program.

The boxes will feature stickers with the foster parents' names on them and will be placed in various campus buildings.
Smith said that the two groups were hoping to elicit at least 300 box adoptions.

When the producer of the "Joan Rivers Show" spoke with Dennis Dailey, she knew he was perfect for the show.
By Rochelle Olson
Dailey, professor of social welfare, and his wife flew last night to New York. Today they will tape an episode of Joan Rivers Show" that will air Nov. 6.
The hour-long show will ask the question "What is it like to be married"
Dennis and Judy Dailey are appearing on the "Joan Rivers Show."
Dailey is known at KU for his course about human sexuality, but he also has a PhD in sociology.
English said that she wanted Dailey to appear on the show because of his great sense of humor.
Adora English, producer of the "Joan Rivers Show," said the National Association of Sex Educators, Thera-denyl and recommended Dailey as a guest.
"He's just got the greatest personality." she said.
English said she also appreciates,
that Dailey emphasized sex education
"What we loved about Dr. Dalley is an open open about anything." English said.
Wait, is it "English said"? No, it's "English said".
The word after "English" is "said".
So the full sentence is: "What we loved about Dr. Dalley is an open open about anything." English said.
His students also appreciate his honesty, said Lisa Gulaz, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore in Dailey's human-sexuality course.
Golzar said that Dailey was willing to save anything about sex.
Although her class with Dailey meets at 8 a.m., Golzar always
"He's a great teacher," she said. "He makes you want to go to class."
He talks about sexual things people would be embarrassed to talk about to their parents, boyfriends or girlfriends, Goldzar said.
Dalley said he hoped the discussion
the man in Rivers Show" would
cover many topics.
"I think it's also possible that things that some of the three couples on the
show say will help others talk," he said.
Dailey said he thought the question of what it was like to be married to a sex therapist was an interesting one.
Peoplenever ask his wife about it, he said.
However, he does not think his job is out of the ordinary, just a little unusual.
But Dalley said many people were curious about the question.
Professor of psychology resigns amid controversy
By Jennifer Bach

Maynard Shelly said he never intended to resign.
"I'm sad," said Shelly, professor of psychology. "I had no intention of ever quitting. I'd go on indefinitely. It was one thing I really enjoyed."
After teaching at the University of Kansas for 25 years, Shelly turned in his resignation last week to the psychology department, he said.
This semester will be Shelly's last at KU.
Shelly said he could not teach to the best of his ability because of lack of computer time and that he called them 'crazy' as theybers who opposed the way he taught.
This semester, Shelly is teaching four courses: psychology of satisfaction, affect and cognition, personality, and social psychology.
Since arriving at the University, Shelly has taught his psychology courses with computer games. The students also take their examinations on the computers in the Computer Center.
Shelly said that learning psychology required more than memorizing names and data.
Bill Builgren, chairperson of the computer center, said earlier this semester that Shelly's extensive use of the computers had kept students not enrolled in Shelly's courses from using them.
Computer games are effective because they give students a chance to apply the information they learn, he said.
But at the beginning of the semester, Shelly said he was told by administrators from the center that he would have limited time to teach his courses because he had monopolized the laboratory.
He added that without computer time, he could not give his students the education they deserved.
Shelly said, "This semester was a disaster. I don't want to try another. I don't feel that I'm offering a very difficult course or ifease to offer a second rate course."
felt an obligation to my students to be honest with them."
"I did not find the people here very exciting, and the research was not very good," he said. "It was like having tenure at a truck stop."
Although Shelly said he would miss teaching KU students, he said he would not miss the department.
Because Shely was so critical of the psychology field, he said he thought that many of the faculty would be pleased to see him resign.
David Holmes, professor of psychology, said he had reservations about Shelly's methods of teaching.
"Maynard's courses have been nationally publicized for being leading 'pud' courses," he said. "That is not good for the students, and it does not make the University of Kansas look good."
He said that Shelly was entitled to his own opinion but that his opinion conflicted with the 110 members of the National Psychology Association, which considers psychology a science.
"In 10 years, we may find that Maynard's view is right and everyone else's view is wrong," he said. "But right now, he is out of step."
