Diamond The Battalion I For private parties call Willie at 822-3743 1 Their production has become a tradition in Dr. Roy Hartman’s Environmental Tech nology 477 class. They are Recycled Aggie Frisbees (ReAg Bies), maroon frisbees made from 75 to 80 percent recycled plastic, that are environ ment-friendly. In 1992, Frank Cervantez, Charles Harris and Theresa Ohnesty, all seniors in Hart man’s class, designed a frisbee mold out of milk jugs. The Brazos Beautiful organization and the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency (BVSWMA) took to the environmental- ly-sound frisbees and ordered 3,000 of them. Through a grant provided by BVSWMA, Brazos Beautiful has continued to order frisbees from the environmental technolo gy class. “They liked the idea of [using] material recycled by Aggies,” Hartman said. He said the class has made approximately 10,000 frisbees in the last three years. Hartman said the amount of recycled plastic used in each frisbee has been cut from 95 percent. “This is a nice blend of recycled material for manufacturing,” he said. Each frisbee is equal to approximately two and 1/2 jugs. Production cost per frisbee is $1.11, Hartman said. Hartman’s students use the proceeds to purchase the plastic milk jugs from Junction 505’s recycling center in Bryan. Brazos Beautiful distributes the frisbees on campus during Earth Day events every April 21. The frisbees are also available at the Bra zos Beautiful Office. Thomas Chateau, a senior mechanical engi neer and technology major, was one of this year’s students coordinating the project. “I thought it would be a good application of what can be done with recycled materi al,” Chateau said. rje ||une 1 Cheney possible GOP vice-presidential candidate WASHINGTON (AP) — Dick Cheney ran one of the most ex haustive water-testing cam paigns of any Republican presi dential hopeful in 1994, visiting 47 states in just few months. Then he sounded a quick retreat. Always the political realist, the low-key former defense sec retary and six-term Wyoming congressman took a long look at what it would take to beat Bob Dole for the GOP nomination. Cheney, 55, now comfortably ensconced in corporate America, has remained active in politics, is a top Dole adviser and finds himself among those mentioned as a possible GOP vice presiden tial candidate. For the past year, he has been chief executive officer of the Dal las-based Halliburton energy company, but has remained in close touch with Dole and other national Republicans. “He almost has the military credentials of Colin Powell, he’s a recognized expert in for eign affairs and has, for all practical purposes, served as president” under Ford, said Florida GOP Chairman Tom Slade. “He would be instantly perceived as presidential.” When he was hopscotching around the country as a poten tial candidate, Cheney cri tiqued President Clinton’s for eign policy, focusing on Bosnia and other trouble spots. He charged Clinton with risky cuts in defense spending and “fuzzy-headed thinking” on U.S. troop deployment. Like Clinton, Cheney did not serve in the military, seeking and receiving deferments from the Vietnam-era draft. His tenure as defense secretary gave him a military aura, reinforced by two big successes on his watch — the Panama invasion and the Persian Gulf War.
