Kaplan, who is now the Recycling Program manager, has built a successful recycling program at the University. Because of her efforts, Soroptimlst Inter national of the Americas recently honored Kaplan with the Women of Distinction Award in the environmental Held at Valle River Inn on May lfi "This award is really special because it is an award for women helping women," Kaplan said “ISoroptimist International! is an organization of professional women who recognize the contributions of women in society If it weren't for them, 1 don't think I'd l>e here." Kaplan said she saw the need for a recy cling program while she was a student work ing in the Survival Center. "1 was trying to be a recycling advocate," she said Then a group called Pearl Buck, a ks wit I ■ ties. < ,tme to the University "At the time recycling at the University was minimal,' Kaplan said "Only newspa per and unbleached paper were being recy cled on campus " Kaplan said she worked hart! to help pro mote rw yc ling at the University "! was hired by the University in the fall of 1990 to hefp begin the Recycling Program," Kaplan said "Five year* ago, the University recy cled 18 tons of paper per month Last month, we recycled 82 tons." She said the m&Lim •% » kc cycling program r*cv> KAPLAN led 98fl ton* of materials, including newspaper, unbleached paper, glass, plastic and scrap metal, in the 1993-94 school year Kaplan said 34 people are employed by the Recycling Program She also said stu dent* earn academic credit in exchange for working in the program We have different kinds of students who have worked for us. Kaplun said. "We have had different students work for us. such as environmental studies majors and journal ism majors among others." she said. Kaplan said she wants everybody to understand the importance of recycling. "Just think, if everybody at the Univ ersity were to use the back side of a piece of paper at leas! once a dav. we would save 20.000 pit*< os of paper per day. 140,000 pieces of paper per week and 7.2 million pieces of paper per year." Kaplan said Kaplan Mid recycling and environmental technology are growing Industries “Environmental technology is big busi ness,” she said For example. Weyer haeuser's recycling division is the largest in the world "Yet people are in a state of denial," Kaplan continued. "There are a lot of people who seem to think there is not a problem with the environment," Kaplan said people find it difficult to change. One example she used was the Tim ber industry'. "The timber industry is going through some big changes right now." Kaplan said "It takes time for an industry to change, and as a result there is some lag time Without the support to do it. that lag time lasts longer " Kaplan said the Women of Distinction Award is not a one-person accomplishment. This award is the representation of a lot of hard work by a lot of people." she said. "There were a lot of people involved.” Other Women of Distinction Award recip ients included Caroline Frengie, director of 1 ood for I am* County; Marion Malcolm and Tina Eoff. directors of the Sec ond Chance Renters Rehabilitation Program, and Jody Runge. University of Oregon women's bas ketball coach. ■ ET ALS MEETINGS Of*|t»n Ballroom Dam* ( lob *■ a- ' ■ . , 'I m; *• Boom 0 SlotUntt for Vaitual Aataull Fra* fnatrtMiMMml will roaat tonight *» A 30 ■. ’!-«» i Ml lie:; l nnSar K--, information. < all 346 4093 MIS* i U.AMXK S laabtan. l.ay and B»*#«iuai Alllant* Y outh Croup %* w! n.aat today from 3 to 6 30 p m in tba Komonta CmUB 14 i4 Kincaid St Eat mar* information call 146 3360 CifMf ( anlar wJU »pon«\>r 4 wot* • hop on affactiva intarviawin| today from J to 4 pm In Boom 231 Kan dnck* Sign ;,p» will bo in Room 244 Hat’.dritki Fur mo/a information call 346 3231 ( arwr t anitr ha* $[*+< m *vailahla In Boom 244 Hamlrkk* for intarviaw* with !?♦* feilin*mg rampant.** Pm ition Cut*!

INCIDENT Continued from Page 1 the direction of police After wailing five minute* and issuing repeated warnings, police fired tear gas and the crowd immediately dispersed One of the polit e vehicles on the scene was outfitted with n video camera and captured most of the riot The video clearly documents the fire setting and bottle throw - ing." said Capt, Tim Birr, spokesman for the Eugene Department of Public Safety Those people Identified by police as being involved in criminal activity will be vigor ously prosecuted, he said. Residents of 707 E 17th Ave said the party was unruly, but the situation did not warrant a tear gas response "It was a dangerous situa tion," Corinne Burden said "They did need to disperse it. but the force was totally exces sive There is no way to justify it." "We have a limited amount of tactical options in a situation like this." Birr said "The intent of the gas is to make everyone leave and leave quickie 'We had fires being set. street signs being pulled up and bot tles throw n at police and i ivil* ian vehicles,"Birr said. "All of this was happening while offi cers were watching " Several University students at the party said problems were storied by uninvited guests con* gregaling outside the house and on Hilyard Street The party crashers were coming from other parties that had been broken up. students said. Chuck Yu, owner of Hilyard Street Market, im ated across the street from the party, decided to close the store early because sev eral belligerent party-goers in and around his store caused numerous problems Police also asked Yu to close the store before the riot started "Without the tear gas, 1 don't think they could have dispersed the crowd without injury." Yu said "I think the police did a really good job " People caught In the tear gas suffered intense burning sensa tions in their eyes, throat and skin One resident of the house suffered a bloody nose as a result of the gas, and a man who picked up a tear gas canister received blisters on his hand. Residents said they cannot return home because gas residue continues to permeate the house "It has loft a house full of people homeless for a while,” resident Nikki Klsensohn said After the crowd scattered, police found the street littered with broken glass, street signs and garbage, according to Birr. Public works crews were called in to clean the area following the incident.
