Texas A&IVTs recycling program has gonef
dream to monumental stature in just eight
BY MEREDITK HIGH!
The Battalion
T exas A&M is not tradi
tionally considered an
environmentally-friend-
ly University, but other
schools just might be
green with envy at the growth of
the A&M recycling program in the
past eight years.
In 1990, Texas A&M made its first
attempt at recycling.
Six buildings on campus began
collecting white paper and alu
minum cans.
Eight years later, 150 buildings
are needed to attend to A&M’s recy
cling efforts and 50 tons of material
(equivalent to the weight of six adult
elephants) are collected each month.
The most recent effort of the
University, co-sponsored by the
Physical Plant Department, the De
partment of Residence Life and the
Department of Food Services, was
a project during residence hall
move-in, with the goal of collecting
32,000 pounds of cardboard boxes
from residences.
In 1997, 24,000 pounds were
collected.
Nicole Patschke, former environ
mental conservation specialist for
the Physical Plant, said in a press re
lease she sees the project as a way to
reduce waste.
“This recycling effort is a good
opportunity for the campus to save
natural resources, landfill space and
waste disposal costs,” she said.
Physical Plant has managed
campus-wide recycling since 1991,
when the original project, involv
ing only six buildings, became a
permanent program.
All office, classroom and labo
ratory buildings at A&M are
equipped with recycling bins pro
vided at no cost to the University
by the department.
The Residence Hall Association
also participates in recycling efforts.
Chris Baumbach, director of fa
cilities and operations for RHA and
a sophomore biomedical science
major, said RHA provides recycling
bins, but the individual halls take it
from there.
“The halls are responsible
for telling me what
they need,’
Baumbach
said.
general hall fund.
Overall, RHA is planning to step
up recycling efforts.
“We're looking to expand the pro
gram." Baumbach said.
The Student Senate passed a bill
in February that made campus recy
cling of The Battalion simpler. Recy
cling bins now are available at the
five main distribution loca
tions — the Commons

Streisand recruits director
to make movie of final tour
NEW YORK (AP)— Barbra Streisand is talking
with director Mike Nichols about staging her “final"
world concert tour, according to the New York Post.
Nichols, who directed The Graduate and Work
ing Girl among other films, plans to piece togeth
er a movie of the tour if the deal goes through, the
Post reported Monday.
“They are definitely talking. Barbra would love
Mike to direct her last concert tour," the newspa
per quoted a source as saying.
Streisand’s handlers said the singer is “con
sidering several possibilities" to perform again.
“Many attractive offers from around the world
have been received, and the possibility of touring
again is being contemplated,” Marty Erlichman,
Streisand’s longtime manager, said.
“He was the only one outside my family who
was a main source of inspiration,” Travolta
said in “Travolta: The Life,” written by Nigel An
drews.
Travolta said in the book he would sit in
front of the television set whenever an old
Cagney musical came on and step along when
Cagney did his tap dance routine, “I’m a Yan
kee Doodle Dandy.”
Travolta’s mother seized on the fascination
as a way to get her son to brush his teeth.
According to Andrews’ book, she would pre
tend to be talking to Cagney on the telephone,
and tell her son “Mr. Cagney is calling. He
wants you to brush your teeth and tidy your
room.”
Travolta reportedly would agree and then
ask: “Does he ... does he like me?”
