Recycling guru changes othefdly
students’ trash into treasure
By April Towery
The Battalion
I f you do not recycle your garbage, Cassandra
DeLarios will.
“I think people are. kind of scared of me,
because they know I’ll go through their trash and
make them recycle,” she said.
DeLarios, the assistant recycling coordinator of
the Physical Plant and a senior geography major,
began coordinating a recycling and environmental
awareness program her
freshman year.
“I took a Coke can to
someone in my residence
hall and asked, ‘Where
can I recycle this?” she
said. "They just looked at
me because there wasn’t
anywhere for me to recy
cle. It was a passion for me
from that day on.”
She began by motivat
ing her residence hall to
recycle, then she proceed
ed to recruit neighboring
halls on the Quadrangle,
and she eventually got the
Corps of Cadets involved.
DeLarios said she has
been recycling for as long
as she can remember.

“I lived in Austin with
my mom and we didn’t
have someone to come
pick up our cans and bot

plastic bottles on the
back porch and would
take them to a recycling
bin at the end of the
week,” she said.
DeLarios invented the
Ejwironmental Affairs
Directorship for Residence
Halls and served as the chair of the Environmental
Issues Committee in Student Government
“Student Government is very powerful and
motivating,” DeLarios said. “The overall positive
attitude helped me a lot.”
This year, she began working as a teaching
assistant for Dr. Roy Hartman, an associate profes
sor of engineering technology, who became her
"personal cheerleader.”
“He is my mentor, a wonderful person,”
DeLarios said.
As assistant vice president of the Recycling Plant,
DeLarios volunteered at recycling centers in the
area, while also coordinating and participating in
highway cleanups.
“The key is motivation,” DeLarios said. “I want
to teach people to teach people. It’s important to
keep it going because it’s something we’re going to
have to live with.”

another in a deeper way,”
St. Joseph’s Vineyard has not
always been a community house,
it was once a daycare facility, an
office building and a Planned
Parenthood facility. The students
originally wanted to develop a
Christian community for eight
male residents, but since the
beginning, it has housed nine res
idents, both male and female.
This semester, 10 students reside
in the Vineyard, five men and

five women.
A spiritual and house leader are
selected from among the residents
at the beginning of the semester.
“We are not chosen for our
spirituality or development of it,
but our ability to set a structure
for a spiritual pathway to enable
others to discover more about
themselves and in turn benefit
from each other,” Benson said.
Each semester, the house
members hold a retreat that is
organized by the spiritual house
leader. Benson said the retreat
designates not only the spiritual
direction the residents want to
take the house in, but it is also a
time for them to personally
declare their own spiritual direc
tions, allowing the other nine res
idents to form a supportive envi
ronment for their spiritual goals.
Kristy Chanley, the youngest
house resident and a freshman
psychology major, said the sup
port system can be beneficial.
“You have your own goals to
follow God, and it’s so much easi
er when you have people to sup
port you,” she said.
The house leader’s main duty
to the St. Joseph’s community is to
deal with problems when they
develop, make sure responsibili
ties are fulfilled and guide the
members of the house in their
chosen direction.
