Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, English graduate teaching assistant, read her ecologically aware poetry in an odd place on Friday — the Space Technology Center in Nichols Hall on west campus.
Environment discussion focuses on diversity
The poems were part of the University of Kansas' first Environmental Research Symposium.
By Paul Todd Kansan staff writer
The day-long event highlighted research by scientists and professors at KU in the fields of environmental technology, education and awareness.
Dennis Murphy, director of the center for environmental education and training, said the purpose of the symposium was to give faculty members and students a chance to talk about
The symposium was split into four two-hour sections, each with a different theme. The four themes were water issues, environmental diversity, technological development and natural resource policy.
"The point was to have people share information that they might not otherwise be aware of," Murphy said.
environmental issues and research.
Lecturers presented their research to audiences of about 30 colleagues.
Murphy said the idea for the symposium came about last fall when the center asked faculty members to submit briefs about their research.
But the symposium was more than just a bunch of scientists talking about the ozone hole.
"The humanities were well represented," Murphy said. "One of the strengths of the symposium was its diversity."
Delbert Unruh and Ron Willis, professors of theater, were looking for environmental facts to include in their play about the Ogallala aquifer in western Kansas. "To the Last Drop. The Ogallala Aquifer and the High Plains of Kansas."
"We want to get as many people involved as possible," Unruh said. "And we want to make sure any factual representations would indeed be factual."
Unruh said he wanted to enlist environmental experts to read the script and support the play's production.
If all goes well, the play will be performed in April 1996, Unruh said.

Dennis Murphy said another symposium probably would be held on April 21, during the weeklong celebration of the 25th anniversary of Earth Day at KU.
This is a great experience for anyone interested in Public Relations, Communications, Marketing, or other related fields.
