Empty bottles and cans, old
newspapers and all sorts of other
trash are being recycled into use
instead of being dumped and pol
luting the environment.
An Associated Press survey
showed the collection and recycl
ing of trash is being carried on
with increasing frequency across
the country by government agen
cies, citizen’s groups and large
corporations. All have the same
aims: cut down pollution and con
serve natural resources.
The efforts range from a city
wide Recycling Day in New York
to a bimonthly “Beer-Can Stomp”
at the University of Utah to a
black-owned and operated news
paper recycling plant in a poor
area of Chicago.
Empty bottles are one of the

IN SOMEONE’S SHADOW
by Rod McKuen
In Someone’s Shadow is, quite simply, one
of the most direct, touching and beautiful
collection of love poems by an American
poet. The words in this book underscore
the reason why Rod McKuen has become
not only the most influential and best-sell
ing poet of our lifetime, but quite possibly
the best selling poet of all time.

day that starting March 20 it
will open 17 company plants in
New York City for five hours
every Saturday to reclaim bot
tles and cans, paying a nickel for
Coke bottles and half a cent for
other bottles and cans.
The Coke bottles will be re
used and the other bottles and
cans will be melted down and
recycled.
The General Electric plant in
Providence, R. I., collects all
types of bottles and recycles the
glass for use in the metal base
of light bulbs. The company pays
$15 a ton and material manager
Robert Murphy said he has had
to turn away some contributions.
“If I ever took all the glass
offered,” said Murphy, “it would
bury the plant.”
The Owens-Illinois Inc., plant
in Brockport, N. Y., reported it
has collected 1,115,683 pounds of
used bottles since it started a
collection drive April 8. It paid
one cent a pound and reused the
bottles in new glass.
A group of Wauseon, Ohio,
sixth graders held a three-month
bottle collection drive and sold
the 6,642 bottles they gathered
at the Owens-Illinois glass col
lection center at Ann Arbor,
Mich. They took the $16.61 they
received — half a cent per pound
— and sent a check to President
Nixon asking that the money be
earmarked for “improving and
preserving the environment.”
Old newspapers are reused in
several areas. The West Side
Community Paper Stock Corp.,
a black, nonprofit company in
Chicago, set up deposit boxes in
20 suburban locations for used
newspapers.
The Container Corp. of Ameri
ca guaranteed a loan for the
plant and agreed to buy all the
newspaper West Side could pro
duce for a five-year period. West
Side officials said a box of re
cycled newsprint — or about 12
tons of newspaper — saves 187
trees.
An eight-week experiment in
Levittown, N.Y., wasn’t quite so
successful.
The Department of Sanitation
held once-a-week, newspaper-only
collections, then sold the paper to
a salvaging company. Theresa
Granelli, conservation chairman
of the local women’s club, said
that although the final report on
the plan had not been issued the
project “was not too successful
economically” because only about

Mayor John V. Lindsay has
announced that New York City
— which itself generates 24,000
tons of solid waste daily — will
gear its purchasing program to
the use of recycler paper.
In Salt Lake City, a group of
University of Utah music stu
dents get together at a profes
sor’s house twice each month and
flatten discarded beer cans which
they sell to an aluminum dealer
for $200 a ton. The students col
lect the cans from bars’ garbage
cans and donate the money from
the “Beer-Can Stomp” to a music
scholarship fund.
In Baltimore, a private group
called Ecology Action Inc., col
lects old bottles and paper in ex
change for trading stamps. In
one project last month volun
teers collected and sold 1,400
pounds of glass and 2,600 pounds
of paper to firms which reused
the projects.
The Environmental Action Co
alition in New York City oper
ates three reclamation centers,
accepting all types of metal, glass
and paper. The amount of money
paid varies with the amount of
material turned in.

He said because of these activ
ists museums now had larger edu
cational departments with more
workshops and discussion groups.
Maitin related an experience
he had with the theater of the
destruct. This type of theater di
rected by Ralph Ortiz features
bloody drama, for example cutting
up chickens on stage or covering
people with blood, Maitin said. He
took part in a production entitled
“My Lai.”
“W’hen you are ankle deep in
blood and have rats running
around you, it gives you a very
weird feeling,” he said. “It re
moves excuses. This is the na
ture of art today.”
Maitin, who is in Houston this
week for an exhibit, spoke of the
Black Art Center which is being
developed there and which he
learned about yesterday.
He said it is something to take
interest in.
“It will be internationally well
known because of its fantastic
art forms whether the people of
Houston go there or not,” he
maintained.

A&M receives X-ray gear
The General Electric Company has awarded
Texas A&M’s Chemistry Department an equipment
support grant totaling more than $23,000 for
purchase of new X-ray instruments for research and
instruction.
Dr. A. E. Martell, department head, said the
equipment includes a G.E. X-ray diffractometer and
vacuum emission spectrograph.
The G.E. gift was used to supplement funds
made available through the university and the
National Science Foundation. The total installation is
valued at approximately $50,000.
Martell said the equipment is currently being
installed in the Chemistry Building basement.
The diffraction unit will be used initially by a
team headed by Dr. Robert L. R. Towns for single
crystal structural studies of organic and biological
compounds.
Dr. Herman A. Liebhafsky will use the emission
spectrograph for research in analytical chemistry. The
instrument also is being used in development of a
laboratory course in X-ray methods.

BATTALION CLASSIFIED
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON <A>) — Ameri
can youth are better educated,
more mobile and less prone to
marry than their counterparts of
a decade ago. But, as voters,
they’re shirkers.
They also make up a sizable
chunk of the nation’s civilian la
bor force — and their incomes
are rising, a fact not ignored by
the country’s businesses.
The Census Bureau sketched
out Wednesday its every-10-year
profile of the nation’s young be
tween ages 14 and 24.
Youth between 14 and 24 now
comprise 20 per cent of the popu
lation, compared with 15 per cent
a decade ago, and 40 million now
are in that age group.
The population now is young
er, with a median age of 27.6
years, compared with 29.5 in
1960.
But the figures indicate the
new law lowering the voting age
to 18 in federal elections means
politicians will have a difficult
job in getting young Americans
to the polls.
In the November 1968 presi
dential election, only 33 per cent
of the 18-to-20-year-olds voted in
states where they could cast a
ballot for the nation’s leaders.
“For all states,” the report
went on, “only 51 per cent of the
persons 21 to 24 years old re
ported that they voted as com
pared with 70 per cent of the
persons 25 years and older.”
From March 1969 to March
1970, the report said, 10.3 million
persons between 14 and 24 moved.
“Those 22 to 24 years old are
especially mobile — 45 per cent
of the persons of this age moved
between 1969 and 1970.”
The report showed American
youth are more apt to get a
more extensive education than
they did 10 years ago.
Among young adults who
would have recently completed
their schooling 78 per cent of the
whites and 58 per cent of minor
ity persons were at least high
school graduates in 1970. In 1960,
the figures were 64 per cent of
the whites and 39 per cent of mi
nority descent.
Ten per cent more of the male
high school graduates and nine
per cent more of the women high
school graduates went to college
in 1970 than in 1960.
About 94 per cent of young
people between ages 14 and 17
were enrolled in school, compared
with 90 per cent a decade ago.
The percentage of 18-and-19-
year-olds enrolled was 50 per
cent last year, 38 per cent in
1960.
Of 7.4 million college students,
492,000 were Negroes, a 110 per
cent increase in a five-year per
iod.
In 1960, 64.9 per cent of men
between 18 and 24 were single,
but in 1970, it was 67 per cent.
In 1960, 40.5 per cent of the
women were single, but the 1970
figure climbed to 47.7 per cent.
Of the 8.2 million between
ages 20 and 24, 65 per cent were
in the labor force, 22 per cent in
the Amhed Services and 13 per
cent were not working;.
