Prof ponders ecological problems
By Katie Chipman
Kansan staff writer
Modern environmental problems can be traced back to the 17th and 18th centuries, a KU history professor told about 60 people yesterday at a lecture in the Kansas Union.
The lecture was part of a two-day symposium on humanities and the environment that ended yesterday.
Donald Worster, professor of history, said the rapid expansion of population and technology that began during the Industrial Revolution led to unprecedented environmental harm.
Ending materialism is the goal
He said that examples of the ecological damage done by modern
culture occurred during the Persian Gulf War.
"This war was known as the first environmental war, where damaging the environment has been a deliberate move of aggression," he said, referring to the oil spilled into the ocean during the war.
He said that one-fourth of the world's species would be at risk of extinction within the next 20 years because of humanity's lack of foresight.
"The more we think we have things under control, the more we are
Worster said that aerosols containing chlorofluorocarbons were an example of a modern invention that seemed benign at first but was later discovered to be harmful to the environment.
bombarded with surprise," he said.
"The suprise is that we're not only destroying ozone, but the destruction is much faster than we thought," he said.
Worster said that too many people today expected maximum satisfaction from everything
"We can't find any culture that
materialism has dominated, until the modern age," he said.
He said that people in a materialis-
tic culture believe the environment con-
trols them.
Worster said that the new culture might call for new technology and economics, but that people always would be materialistic at some level.
"It's an illusion; not one of us can turn something dead into something that lives," he said. "As a historian, I will see the world simply undo what we've become."
Andrew Debicki, director of the Hall Center, said, "I think that the answer must come out of the countries that hold power now."
Journal sponsors symposium to explore issues
By Benjamin W. Allen
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Journal of Law and Public Policy was designed to reflect the cutting edge of public policy decisions and to demonstrate the effects of laws rather than to analyze them
The symposium, "Environmental Policy: The choices for 1996," is a series of loosely structured talks and question-and answer periods
A spring symposium, sponsored by the journal, will do just that.
'It brings together all those people who are highly regarded in their fields. When you have a symposium like this it educates students about the cutting edge of issues.'
Reginald Robinson
- Reginaid Robinson associate law professor and advisor to the journal
The topics covered in the series are international environmental policy, domestic environmental policy and the workplace environment.
Karl Kuckelman, law student and a staff member for the journal, said today's session about the workplace
environment was generating a lot of interest because it featured John Kennedy, general counsel for Johnson Controls Inc., a company involved in a Supreme Court decision Wednesday.
expose workers to lead
Since 1982, the company's battery division had a fetal protection policy that barred women from potentially hazardous jobs. As a result, women have been ineligible for top-paying jobs in the company.
Kennedy will speak today about employers' perspectives on fetal-protection policies.
Keckelman said that the journal and symposium were put together by
law students but that both were intended to encourage as much interdisciplinary involvement as possible.
"The idea is to pick a hot topic and have the ultimate people come and debate the issues," he said about the symposium.
Reginald Robinson, associate professor of law and adviser to the journal, said the symposium offered a great educational opportunity.
"It brings together all those people who are highly regarded in their fields," he said. "When you have a symposium like this, it educates students about the cutting edge of issues."
