Aggies and Longhorns wage friendly warfare this week as they compete to collect pledge cards from students and faculty members in support of Texas Recycle Day, which is Nov. 15. Nicole Patschke, co-chair of the Environmental Issues Committee and a senior agricul tural business major, said the purpose of the event is to raise awareness of recycling and solid waste problems. “This will be an excellent opportunity to use the rivalry for a good cause,” Patschke said. “We’re both working toward the same goal — raising awareness about recycling.” The sign-up for pledge cards began Tuesday and will con clude today in the Commons Lobby and the Student Center. The pledge is part of a Sized Recycling Challenge” issued by the Texas Recycles Day Steering Committee, a group of 100 representa tives from the public and private sectors organized by the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission (TNRCC). Robert Herbert, recycling coordina tor for the University of Texas, said UT and A&M are always in competition for something. “Anything the student and fac ulty can do to help recycle can “We're both working toward the same goal — raising aware ness about recycling." Nicole Patschke Co-chair, Environmental Issues Committee help and not hurt," Herbert said. “One thing we need to do is use both sides of paper and not print so much unneces sary paper.” Katy Gibson, recycling coordi nator for College Station, said stu dents and faculty members pledge to recycle during the year by signing the cards. They are then entered in a statewide drawing. First prize in the drawing is a Jeep Wrangler made from 44 per cent recycled steel, donated by the Steel Recycling Institute. Other prizes include a $500 shopping spree from H-E-B By The Pantry Foods and a vacal package including a tripfoi to Sea World in San Antonio. Three years ago Gov, Geo W.
