Recycling becoming more common at University
By STACEE DANIEL
Staff Writer
While the appearance of recycling bins
across campus has increased environmental
awareness at the University, some students
say not enough people are making efforts to
recycle.
Activities begin today to celebrate Earth
Day and to remind people of their responsi
bility to take care of the environment.
Andy Keeler, an agricultural economics
professor, said he thinks more people have
been recycling in the past 10 years.
“Ten years ago it was hard to find a place
(to recycle), now you would be hard-pressed
not to find a place,” he said. “I don’t mean to
say that everything is hunky-dory and we’re
doing a great job. But we are doing a good
job.”
Keeler suggested that recycling bins
should be placed near newspaper vending
machines on campus.
Within the past few years, Georgia has
adopted a goal for every county to reduce
landfill waste by 25 percent, according to
Keeler.
“People’s attitudes have changed (toward
recycling),” he said. “It has a huge future. We
should do more of it.”
Lynn Morris, a sophomore from
Dahlonega, said she thinks people don’t take
the time to recycle
“I don’t respect anyone who doesn’t recy
cle," she said. “Maybe they think it's too much
trouble. They don’t think it will make a dif
ference.”
C.D. Kidd, campus recycling coordinator,
said the University does a good job of recy
cling. Bins across campus are designated for
recycling newspaper, aluminum, glass and of
fice paper
The University also recycles machine oil,
scrap metal, tires and batteries in locations
such as the automotive center and the physi
cal plant.
“A lot more people are aware of the situa
tion,” Kidd said. “Things will be great in the
next few years. More people will be recycling.”
He added that recycling will increase in
the future because people will not want to pay
the rising landfill fees.
But Keeler said more could be done to im
prove the quality of recycling.
“One problem with a lot of systems is if you
want to get full value you have to keep mate
rials segregated by type,” he said. “A better
job of segregating materials at the source (is
necessary). Each individual would have to go
through a lot more time and trouble.”
Keeler also said recycling has been a vic
tim of it’s own success and the prices tend to
decrease when the market doesn’t have a de
mand for certain recycled goods. The cleaner
and less contaminated the recycled goods are,
the more value they have, he said.
However, Morris offered that some prob
lems should be stopped before they start.
“When a person goes to the store they
should have to pay for a bag,” she said.
“People go into a store and get a bag just for
a candy bar. It’s stupid.”
Morris also suggested that people take
their own bag into a store to carry out pur
chased goods.
STONE: Family hopes mystery wiil be solved
From page 1
Therefore, Smith said, investigators
know Stone was killed between about 1
a.m. and 4 a.m.
“Well eventually get this guy,” he
said. “I just don’t know how long it will
take.”
Jenny’s father, Raymond Stone, said
this is a difficult time for him and it
doesn’t get much easier as time goes by.
“We obviously miss Jenny,” Mr.
Stone said in a telephone interview
Thursday. “We would be so happy if (po
lice) determined the person responsi
ble.”
A mass will be held in Stone’s mem
ory at 5 p.m. Saturday at Saint
Benedictine Church in Duluth, where a
Magnolia tree is planted outside for
her.
Former student Augusta DufTey said
two years later she is still affected by
her friend Stone’s death.
“Lately I have been more paranoid,”
she said. “I think more so now than at
first. After it first happened, I wouldn’t
let myself think about it.”
DufTey said her anxiety is probably
not solely a reaction to Stone’s death.
She said the rising rate of crime has
made her more cautious, but acknowl
edged that her friend’s murder proba
bly aroused her fear.
“Jenny started that," she said. “I
don’t think I would feel this way now if
I hadn’t had a close friend die such a vi
olent death.”
Tracy Pi sell, who lived with Stone
for three years, said she has become a
better person as a result of her best
friend’s death.
“You see people differently,” she
said. “Life is so much more valuable.”
Advertising professor Leilas Wenthe
said she knew Stone from her involve
ment in the Ad Club. Wenthe said
Stone was one of the “creative lights” of
the journalism school and “had a good
future ahead.”
A creativity award is presented each
year at the Ad Club banquet to recog
nize an outstanding senior in Stone’s
name.
