Campus recycles technology By DANIEL O’CONNOR doconnor#randb.com Choosing to recycle your obsolete computer Instead of throwing it away may prevent the contamination of your drinking water. To safely recycle electron ics, the Athens-Clarke County Solid Waste Department has partnered with 5R Processors Ltd. a large recycling compa ny out of Atlanta. Chris Burkett, head of logistics at 5R Processors, said he is trying to spread the message that electronic waste in landfills is an environmen tal hazard. ••All kinds of electronics have all kinds of different components and all kinds of different elements that really contaminate ground water,” Burkett said. Lead, mercury and cadmi um all potentially toxic to humans are found in elec tronics and can leak into the ground water, he said. Also, many computer and television monitors contain a tube of uranium, which gradu ally can leak if buried in a ‘Eclectic’ band respects Theatre By ANNA KRAKOVSKI akrakovsk<3>randb.com The Georgia Theatre can’t seem like much for a band like Umphrey’s McGee, who has performed at festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and All Good. However, drummer Kris Myers said that the band has visited the Theatre several times in the past and the members respect it. "So many incredible bands have come through the Georgia Theatre It's always a pleasure for us to play there," he said "Athens has such a fun college scene It reminds us of our college years.” Originally formed in 1997 on the Notre Dame campus, Umphrey’s McGee has attracted quite a fan base. The band was deemed by Rolling Stone magazine to "have become odds-on favorites in the next-Phish sweepstakes,” and named "rock’s undisputed lord of sonic shape-shifting” by the Washington Post. Umphrey's McGee, com posed of Brendan Bayliss, Jake Cinninger, Joel Cummins, Andy Farag, Kris Myers and Ryan Stasik, will be performing on the main stage at the 10,000 Lakes Festival in Minnesota July 18- 21, but will not be partaking englishstar English Language Tutoring & Teaching Services .

People can recycle every type of electronic for no cost except for televisions at the ACC landfill. Janssen said 200,000 pounds of electronics have been recycled by Athens- Clarke County since August. Because electronic devices frequently become outdated with technological advances, a large number of computers, VCRs, telephones and other electronic goods are thrown away, she said. “The company we work with (5R Processors) tries to extend the life of the electron ics by refurbishing the equip ment for resale first and fore most," she said If not sold, the metal and SPECIAL - UMPHREY’S MCGEE When: 10 tonight, doors at 9 Where: Georgia Theatre Price: SIB More Information: www geor giatheatre com. www umphreys com in Bonnaroo 2007 "I think all of us are pretty upset that we re not going to be able to play at Bonnaroo this year, especially since The Police and Tool are headlin ing.” Myers said “I consider The Police to be one of my personal influences."

"The metal materials are the most sought after reuse/recycling materials, but the plastics from the equip ment can be made into lum ber and landscaping stones," Janssen said. ACC works with the University on its recycling program, but recycling elec tronics on campus is not yet available, Sam Whitmore, the University’s recycling coordi nator, said. However, the University does participate in a program to refurbish and resell com puters, he said. If students want to recycle electronics, they can carry them to the ACC landfill on Lexington Avenue. Televisions cannot be recycled in Athens because recycling companies charge a high price to take them, Janssen said.

"I would say it's eclectic ... no, pop-savvy I don't know. I guess it's just a good one," Myers said Pans can expect to hear a few jams from the new album at tonight's show “We usually post the set list online before our shows, but we've decided to be suspenseful for once and make the list when we get there,” Myers said Myers said he was confident the fans would not be opposed to this change. "We are very lucky to have such devoted fans who are so into what we do,” he said. "It makes our job all the more exciting." *OO7 Draft March 3 *OO7 AAMBL SEASON STARTS IN EARLY APRIL 18 AND OVER LEAGUE 9XOO Pm PLAYER ZS AND OVER LEAGUE SZOO PER PLAYER 2700 4400 3000 4000 4100 4250 4500 1010 1020 3000 2500 3500 2090 3000 2020 2040 2060 2020 1210 1220 1000 1500 LEGL LEGL MARK MARK MARK MARK MARK MARS MARS MGMT MIBO MI BO MIST MSIT MUSI MUSI MUSI NMIX PBIO PBIO PHIL PHIL TnT 1125 1121 1122 1125 2000 2100 3100 3150 3200 3300 4100 4310 4400 5100 5150 2111 2112 2701 2000 3310 5040 NKWS & VAKlhl Y THE GKOrtSQtX \ £j u WjHO m. \ 3UU MALE LUMK\ \ ■ CN MtAT, THE RtiQt K f ‘ (CA) TALUK* V CONFUStP ALONG.
