When you're investing for retirement, the adage
"never put off until tomorrow what you can db today"
doesn't apply to taxes.
That's because investments that .aren't eroded by taxes
can add up to significantly more money for you—
money you can use to supplement your pension and
Social Security.
Let our consultants show you all the advantages of tax
deferral, or call us for a free tax-savings calculator.
Supplemental Retirement Annuities (SRAs), IRAs and
other tax-saving solutions—along with TIAA-CREF's
low expenses and solid history of performance—can
help you invest tax smart today so that you can reach
your retirement goals faster in the years to come.
‘Note: Under federal tax law, withdrawals prior to age S9'/i may be
subject to restrictions, and to a 10% additional tax.

Debate
continued from page 1A
D’Souza said he opposes affir
mative action because it causes
cultural disadvantages, and “mer
it, like racism, creates inequality.”
He frequently quoted people such
as the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Mar
tin Luther King Jr.
Kim Hutchinson, the co-director
for the Black Student Union, said she
hoped students, faculty and commu
nity members would come away
from the debate with open minds re
gardless of whether they were for or
against affirmative action.
Junior exercise and movement
science major Carrie Zografos said
she thought Wise’s argument was
more convincing because it was
backed up with more concrete ex
amples.
Oscar Ponce, the multicultural
liaison for Springfield’s public
schools, said he also thought
Wise’s position was better present
ed.
“Tim Wise is more of a realist.
He knows what is going on,”
Ponce said. “There are people who
are aware, but there are a lot of
people like Dinesh D’Souza who
are not aware of issues such as di
versity and racial profiling.”
Recycle

rial, political and technological en
vironment.” Further, the Universi
ty “affirms its commitment to envi
ronmental excellence.”
Todd Miller, a graduate teaching
fellow in environmental studies,
agreed the recycling program is
strong, but he would also like to see
more done to protect the environ
ment.
He said the University needs to
reduce the amount of trash on cam
pus.
Brian Fuller, a waste reduction
analyst for the Eugene branch of the
Oregon Department of Environmen
tal Quality, said the University
needs to address the issue of food
waste.
He lauded the University for cre
ating a sustainability policy and
said it is a step in the right direction
to creating a better environment.
Fuller added that he would like
to see the University do a better job
of recycling materials from con
struction sites.
Miller praised the students for us
ing bicycles on and around campus
and said the University has done a
good job providing bike racks.
“It’s an incredibly bicycle-friend
ly campus,” he said.
Gretchen Hughes, also a GTF for
environmental studies, said she be
lieves the University does better
than many schools, but she is disap
pointed because the University has
not won any major awards for its en
vironmental policies. She said food
waste in the EMU is something she
would like the University to ad
dress.
Martin said classes taught by the
environmental studies program are
well-structured, but he believes
more could be done outside the de
partment.
“I think there needs to be much
more dialogue with the professional
schools,” he said.
Hughes also said there are many
classes that do a good job of getting
students to care about the environ
ment, but sometimes students don’t
connect with what they are being
taught.
Ken Stephens, who is in charge of
garbage services for University Fa
cilities Services, said the University
provides dumpsters on campus to
encourage students to throw their
waste in containers rather than on
the ground. He said about six tons
of garbage is produced each day, to
taling anywhere from 30 to 35 tons a
week.
A 1999-2000 waste study shows
the University recycled 1,321.58
tons of materials, including paper,
plastic, tires, motor oil and even
paint thinner.
The University recycling pro
gram has begun researching post
consumer waste composting, as
well as worm composting, to create
compost materials for soil at the Ur
ban Farm Garden.
“We recycle everything possi
ble,” Kaplan said.
