Students recycle to make ReAgBies
Recycled Aggie Frisbees are made in an environmental technology class
By Christine S. 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.

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.
