Recycler creating new programs
By Peter Cogswell
Emerald Associate Editor
New recycling educator and
promoter Karyn Kaplan is a
woman on a mission. She
wants to spread the recycling
gospel throughout the campus
community.
Kaplan, previous coordinator
of the survival center's recycl
ing program, has taken on a
temporary assignment with the
physical plant to promote and
educate students and faculty on
recycling issues.
It is a job especially suited to
Kaplan. She created it herself.
Kaplan sent a letter to Physi
cal Plant Director George Hecht
last August requesting that a
position be formed that would
compliment the already tempo
rary position of University Re
cycling Director, which is held
by Ion Davis.
Davis signed on with the
University after Pearl Buck Re
cycling, a group that had
agreed with the University to
take care of recycling needs,
went out of business last
spring.
Kaplan has wasted little time
in making a difference.
Based on input received from
the results of a recycling survey
sent out at the end of spring
term last year. Kaplan knew
that recycling was more of a
concern on campus than most
people gave it credit for.
“The responses on the sur
vey were very vocal." Kaplan
said. “People wanted more re
cycling. Staff and faculty were
greatly interested in recycling
and wanted more consistency
(in recycling programs).”
Kaplan hopes that by getting
a good program going she will
do a good job in showing that
the University needs to lead in
recycling reform.
"Many programs around the
country are successful, but they
still have problems." she said.
Kaplan's first line of action is
to try to get everything running
smoothly as well as start some
pilot programs and see how
they turn out. She also wants to
see more students getting in
volved in tlte recycling move
ment.
Kaplan said she plans to em
ploy a spreud-the-word philos
ophy to get the message out.
"I want to send memos to ail
departments and offices and get
suggestions on how the pro
gram is running." Kaplan said.
"I am also developing a 15
minute presentation on recycl
ing to take around campus."
Kaplan believes that recycl
ing is one area that transcends
all political ties.
"Life is really hard," she
said. "Everybody has things
going on and political talk can
get real heavy. Recycling is
something we can lighten up
and make fun."
Kaplan grew up on the East
Coast, but attended the Univer
sity in the early 1‘170's It was
at the University that she was
turned on to recycling
"I was involved in the 'good
life' movement of the early 70’s
and learned how to recycle in
Eugene." she said
Kaplan said she saw how re
cycling affects quality of life in
Eugene while she was a student
here
"Recycling can make our
quality of life better and ensure
our future," Kaplan said
PROTEST
Continued from Page 1
A few minutes later, several
demonstrators sat down, block
ing the door.
'■ We will remain here until
either the building closes at
five, or until they remove us,"
said junior Todd llausman.
"We will not allow business as
usual to continue.”
Hausman said that they were
attempting to prevent Brand
and Moseley from returning to
their offices.
The University News Bureau
later said that business was ap
parently not severely disrupt
ed. At one point, demonstrators
allowed Mosely to pass through
their blockade and leave his of
fice.
The news bureau said that
Moseley was in his office most
of the time demonstrators were
in |ohnson Hall. Brand was out
of town Monday.
The demonstrators said they
were successful in raising
awareness about the research
on the monkeys.
"It was impossible for any
one in this building to not
think about the issue," said
Hausman.
Hausman also said that being
arrested was not one of their in
ten!ions, although they realized
that it was a possibility
"They an? trying to do every
thing they can not to arrest any
one." said John Vance, a mem
lair of the Environmental Party.
Shortly before 5 p.m. Mose
ley informed the protesters that
if they did not leave when the
building closed, they would lie
arrested.
When the protesters asked
Moseley how he felt about the
research on the monkeys, he
said. "The research using ani
mals at the University of Ore
gon is 1(M) percent in compli
ance with federal rules.”
