The University recycled paper policy also includes a $2 charge per ream of “astrobright” (i.e. neon) colors, although the Uni versity discourages the use of these papers, they are still re quested for use on campus, Ka plan said. “People are just misinformed about the harm this paper does to the recycling process,” Kaplan said. She explained how the bright colors don’t bleach out dur ing the process, causing entire loads of recycling to become dingy yellow pulp, which can not be turned into usable paper. In addition, this category of low grade paper is not accepted by a lot of recycling facilities current ly, so campus recycling has to pay to get it recycled. But University printing offers the astrobright and glossy paper because people still request it, Gaddis said. “If we just get rid of it, we don’t have the opportunity to educate and change the paper people buy in the long-run,” he said. Both Kaplan and Gaddis agree on the options available to use in place of the bright or glossy paper: the use of graphics, soy-based col ored inks and lighter-colored pa per available in a variety of hues — which look “very classy" ac cording to Gaddis. And with the new bamboo paper available soon, the use of environmentally sound printing can become a real ity. “The recycled, light-colored paper is not expensive in compar ison to other paper and looks even better than the astrobrights,” Gaddis said. “And coupled with a variety of ink printing colors, all kinds of eye-catching materials can be printed.” These progressive University printing procedures have not gone unnoticed, either — In the it The recycled, light-colored paper is not expensive in comparison to other paper and looks even better than the astrobrights. —J.R.

Through offering alternatives and publiciz ing them well, Gaddis and staff have made it easy as possible for customers to support pollution prevention on campus,” writes author Julian Keniry. Kayak: Student pays for trips ‘out of pocket’ ■ Continued from Page 1 al television. Munsey said his trips like this are primarily paid “out of my own pocket,” but he and his friends have tried to get some sponsorship for the documentaries they have filmed. Munsey also works as a raft guide in Idaho and the Himalayas, which helps pay for the trips. For Munsey, part of the draw of going to remote ar eas for “expeditions” is getting to see areas of Nepal that can’t be experienced when just visiting the cities. “There’s something about taking long journeys in the most remote place you can think of. You get these incredible views of nature — like the spectacular wa terfalls,” Munsey said. “Some of these places have gone unchanged for thousands of years.” Munsey has combined his hobby of kayaking with his interest in photography. His pictures capture the culture of Nepal and the rivers he has descended. “It’s hard to take a bad picture over there,” Munsey said. University students and the community can see pictures and a film of Munsey’s trips to the Hi malayas and his recent descent of Thuli Bheri tonight at 7:30 p.m. in 100 Willamette Hall. The event is sponsored by the Outdoor Program and is free. Munsey will speak about Nepal’s culture and the rivers he has explored in the Himalayas. He will also speak about how students can get involved in kayak ing and making trips to the Himalayas. “Things like this can be a life-changing experi ence,” Munsey said. “This slide show is definitely an eye-opener. Hopefully this will encourage students to make the decision to get out there and do these things. “If you can go out and make it there [in the wilder ness], then you kind of realize that you can make it just about anywhere.” uo Summer Session Duck Call Starts May 5 Are you ready?
