MTE A CHANGE - - Campus was once an area of
fat activity, even at night Now the high-rise dorms
^stand as a gigantic skeleton where only the study room
and lobby lights burn: Other parts of campus are just
as dead. Take a walk on campus some night; you'll
think  you're   the only one  left during mini-session.

The Isabella "County Citizens for Recycling (ICCR) are presently making efforts to educate ML Pleasant residents
of the necessity of recycling.
Efforts included distributing to every
child in the Mt. Pleasant school system
a handout sheet explaining the merits
of recycling paper. Among the facts
explained was that a 3-foot-high stack
of newspapers represents one tree processed into newsprint paper.
Another fact Ulustrated was that the a-
I mount of forest land per person in the
United States has decreased 367% between 1900 and 1971.
ICCR co-leader Cil Lorand said,"The
response to the paper recycling has been
good. We've collected about eight tons
of paper on two Saturdays.''

This summer, recycling will continue,
but with only one or two days a month
for collection, according to Lorand. The
number of sites will also be reduced,
from five to one with the Moore Public Warehouse, on West Pickard being
utilized. Next collection day will be
June 3.

and asks any ecology minded persons to
