Lecture begins 'Earth Week'
Paul Hilman, geologist and professor at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, initiated KU's "Earth Week" Monday with a lecture titled "The Role of Geology in the Environmental Crisis."
Hilman, who had just returned from giving similar lectures at
Carlton College and University of Wisconsin, told an audience of approximately 75 that education is the key to taking advantage and not wasting our natural resources.
"In order to use our resources to the best advantage, we must take inventory of what we have
in this world and then plan for its use," Hilbman said.
He cited several examples where planning was not used, including the drainage ditch along Naismith Drive where flooding has persisted in the past.
"It is easy to look back and do post-mortems on our mistakes."
Hilpman said. He added that it is important we learn by our mistakes.
Retreat termed 'worthwhile'
Both students and members of the Board of Regents today expressed favorable reactions to an informal meeting held April 17-18 in Rock Springs.
Hilman said that pollution is not entirely an urban problem but rural as well. He said that waste from livestock is a greater problem than many people realize, as is evidenced by the fact that a cow alone will give off an average of 90 pounds of solid waste a day.
The meeting consisted of members of the Board of Regents and student, faculty and administrative representatives from the six state schools. Five KU Regents attended. Jess Stewart, KU Regent from Wamego said the purpose of the meeting was to "discuss issues in an informal setting."
Stewart, like others who attended the meeting, felt it was successful.
"I thought it was great," Stewart said. "I enjoyed it and I think everyone else did."
Other Regents in attendance expressed reactions similar to Stewart's.
"I thought it was fine," said Lawrence Morgan of Goodland.
"It was enlightening to me and I was impressed with the student's reactions," he said. "I think the students reacted favorably and I'm very proud of them."
James Basham, Fort Scott Regent, described the meeting as "extremely worthwhile."
"I think the communication
was greatly enhanced by the informal setting," said William Danenbarger, Concordia Regent.
Student representatives from KU were Bill Elbert, Student Senate president-elect, and Greg Thomas, Student Senate vicepresident-elect.
Ebert said the best thing about the meeting was the opportunity to talk informally with the Regents. He said the problem with the Regents is not with the entire board.
Proposal to Regents concerns promotions
"Earth Week" continues today with an environmental law seminar on industrial and automobile pollution at 3:30 in 411 Summerfield.
Hilpman said pollution is not restricted to water and air alone but land as well. He said we now produce 150 million tons of solid waste material per day and that 90 per cent of that is disposed of on land.
"It showed me that there are people on the Board of Regents who are interested in making KU a better place." Ebert said.
The Student Senate today sent three recommendations to Max Bickford, executive secretary of the Board of Regents, to be considered at the Regents meeting April 24 in Kansas City, said Bill Ebert, Student Senate president-elect.
The promotions for Velvel and Litto were deferred at the March 20 Board of Regents meeting until April 24.
Other guests will include James Hughes, regional head of public relations for General Motors John Anderson, vice-president and general manager for Co-op Farm Chemicals, and R.W. Davis, works engineer for Armco Steel.
The recommendations concern salaries for doctors at Watkins Hospital, the possible sale of several residence halls and a recommendation that promotions be granted to Lawrence Velvel, associate professor of law and Fredric Litto, assistant professor of speech and drama.
The proposal concerning residence halls asks that the Regents consider the feasibility of selling some or all of KU's residence halls.
The final recommendation requests that doctors at Watkins Hospital not be paid on the Civil Service salary schedule. Approval of this measure would enable increases in doctor's salaries and help alleviate the problem of filling doctor's positions at Watkins.
Debate team wins top honors in annual national tourney
A debate team composed or David Jeans, Independence, Mo., senior, and Robert McCullough, Overland Park senior, defeated a team from Canisius College Sunday to win the National Collegiate Debate Tournament.
KU also took third place at the tournament with a team composed of Dan Beck, Mission junior, and Robert Prentice, Turon sophomore.
The 24th annual tournament was held April 17-19 at the University of Houston.
"There were a lot of good things about the meeting," Ebert said, but he added that problems were identified and not solved.
Jeans and McCulloh argued the negative side of a resolution which ask that the federal government give part of the income
tax revenues to the state governments.
KU was one of nine schools to qualify two teams, and was the only school to have two teams debate in the semi-final rounds.

This is the second time KU has won the tournament, KU has had teams entered for 20 of the tournament's 24-year history.
Regents who did not attend the meeting were Elmer Jackson, Henry Bubb, T.C. Griffith, Paul Wunsch and Arthur Cromb.
