While McDonald’s is taking posi tive steps to help save the environ ment, Albert’s personal opinion is that McDonald’s could be a leader in changing the idea of fast food being disposable. “If McDonald’s would take it one step further and lead the industry in changing the perception of fast food being disposable, that would be a major step in recycling,” Albert says. Jones agrees an effort to change the perception of fast food is impor tant. She emphasizes the education of children is important. “We are informing children at a young age that they need to have the environment on their minds,” she says. “I think it is the job of McDon ald’s, nationwide and locally, to do what we can to help teachers educate students on not just what McDon ald’s is doing, but on efforts being made all Over.” Albert believes plastic could be the answer. “I have often thought, ‘If a cus tomer eats in the restaurant, why does it have to be served on some thing disposable?’ “There is a definite cost outlay in purchasing plastic, for example eat ing utensils and plates, but there is a market for recycled plastic. If Mc Donald’s would initiate a plastic re cycling campaign, it could further the efforts of what plastic recycling needs to be,” she says. The McDonald’s Corp. is re searching recycling efforts within some McDonald’s restaurants. About 200 restaurants natonwide are test markets for the recycling program. Jones is hoping the program will be implemented in all McDonald’s restaurants in the near future. Field of A&M Dreams (continued)* - ~ rso THEXB. 100 AKE.rtK.

Roger Roby, a junior mechanical engineering major from Corpus Christi, says he was indifferent to both Williams and Richards and also to the fact Richards is the second fe male governor. “It was an ugly election that hadio be done,” Roby says. “1 was more against Richards because 1 think there will be a state income tax and there is too much waste as there isin spending money,” he says. Tami Tolbert, a senior journalism major from El Paso, says she is glad Richards won because she disliked many of the remarks Williams made during his campaign. “I also like Richards because she is a Democrat and a liberal and Texas WASH Thursday military f troops an warships Guard ur tion” if ne Bush, £ war, said: to this qu fully” wit! “If this him, so n later, “W1 he will re that he ca Defens of the nc from Get the famo sion base the gulf r Neithe troops w< already it Howes by Chen the U.S. I their sup sential su is too conservative,” Tolbert says. Grievances. Continued from page 1 demic Building so it would be more convenient for students, Ansbach said. “During the day, students are al ready here on campus,” he said. “In between classes they were able to stop by and talk to panelists.” Ansbach said this year’s forum also was different from last year be cause the panel consisted of more University administrators. Last year’s panelists were student leaders. Patty Warhol, a student senator who stood by encouraging students to talk to panelists, said she was dis appointed by the low turnout. “This is sad,” Warhol said. “Stu dents have gripes and complaints all year long. So we offer them the op portunity to speak to campus lead ers, and they do not take advantage of it.” Ansbach, however, said he consid ers the forum a success because ev eryone who asked questions received good feedback from panelists. Questions ranged from “Why are there so few parking spaces available for off-campus students?” to “Can the Board of Regents increase un dergraduate tutition?” Ansbach said other issues and grievances forums might be held during the spring. “It might be more beneficial to wait until the spring because more issues are available,” he said. “The more we do it, the more people will know about it, and the more people will attend.” 7-Eleven opens in Brazil SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — The giant convenience store op erator 7-Eleven opened its first shop Wednesday in South Amer ica. The store in Sao Paulo, South America’s largest city, is architec turally identical to that of the 13,000 other 7-Elevens around the world. Bill Ososki, the American di rector of the joint venture, said the store represented an invest ment of more than $500,000. The campaigns were negative and ( this hurt Williams more because he was ahead in public opinion during | most of the campaign, says Derrik. Weir, a sophmore industrial distri bution major from Deer Park. “I don’t think most people were happy with either candidate, but we’re going to have to vote one way or another,” Weir says. “I hate to see that the negative campaigning had: such a big effect on who won, but it did. f “I was pleased with the dosing : > comments of Williams and how he r accepted his defeat well. Hecongrat-. ulated her and showed a lot of class. ■ especially after how the campaigns had been,” Weir says. Scott Nelson, a senior speech com- ' munications major from Plano, says both candidates had qualities he liked and disliked, and says the elec tion was kind of a trade off. “Richards will be helpful with ed ucation and I agree with her view-il points on education, hut if it actually happens, then it will be great,” Nel- j son says.

Alesia Coday, a sophomore bi ology major from Dallas, says she is happy with the election’s results. “Richards has more experience, and regardless of sex she was the better person for the job,” Coday says. “I guess she was the lesser of the two evils because Williams was like a Republican puppet. “But I hope she is very effective in education,” Coday adds.
