FSt/ ftegiws recyUng program
Recycling: every ones responsibility
By Michelle Cox
Reporter
Selling recyclable paper prod-
uct is only the beginning of Tarle-
ton State University's efforts toward
saving the university money while
reducing unnecessary waste.
Partial incentive for the program
began with legislative recommenda-
tions that all Texas state agencies
achieve a 40; percent decrease in
waste disposal of recyclable prod-
ucts by 1994. j
In January 1991 the Tarleton
Recycling Committee formed and
began gatherinjg information on ways
to implement ihe program. By June
3,-1991 a contract was signed with
D&DRecycling, Inc. of Granbury to
sell white ledger paper and computer
paper. Tim Drillette, co-owner of
D&D and 1990 graduate of TSU, is
working closely with the university
cm the program.
Payment plans are still being
worked out with the contractor.
However, for the first three weeks of
June TSU earned $36.69 for its first
recycling payment. In addition, TSU
is saving money on costly landfill
fees. The program reduces trips to
the landfill while prolonging its
limited life span.
Designated fiberglass contain-
ers are located in almost every aca-
demic building on campus for the
recyclable paper. And, cardboard
boxes are provided in buildings
which do not handle large amounts
of paper.
Each week custodians gather and
stack most of the paper at central
receiving. The contractor then picks
up all of the paper and sells it to
various piper mills.
"The amount of money earned
depends on the going rate in the
market However, the main goal of
the program is not to make money,
but to reduce waste, prolong the life
of the landfill and eventually turn
this into a self-sufficient operation,"
said committee member Joe Stan-
dridge.
Other long-term goals of the
committee are to seek profitable ways
of recycling other items such as card-
board and generating enough money
to hire students to keep the program
running.
"The program is running fairly
smooth so far, and we couldn't have
asked for more cooperation from
custodial services and the faculty,"
commented Barbara Schmidt, leader
of the committee.
The motto for Tarleton's Recy-
cling Committee is "Everyone's
Responsibility," because the results
of the program affects everyone at
TSU. Efforts toward recycling not
only comply with the legislative
recommendations, but also saves the
university money and supports envi-
ronmental protection causes.

Museum reconstructs Tarleton's home
The original John
Tarleton ranch headquarters has
been relocated to Stephenville
Historical House Museum
grounds, 525 E. Washington.
The ranch house is being restored
as an exhibition hall for
displaying items pertaining to
John Tarleton the man and to the
college for which he was
benefactor.
Donated to the museum
by John and David Laird, the
three-room, board and batten
building was moved in two
sections from Patillo. Chimneys
were taken down, hauled rock by
rock to Stephenville, and then
rebuilt,
David Williams, a
former Tarleton student, is
contractor for the restoration,
which is planned to be finished
by December. Gene Cowan,
president of the museum board is
requesting help from Tarleton
organizations or individuals to
help with the restoration and may
call him at 968-0866,
"We can use all kinds of
help," Cowan said, "from
proficient carpenters who want to
help put in flooring and walls,
those who can wield a paint
brush, or those willing to help
move farm machinery from the
old ranch."
When the Laird brothers
donated the house they had
inherited from maternal relatives,
they also gave the cattle loading
