CSU launches paper recycling

By Jeanette McAmis

Staff Writer

Recycling is one program at Central State University that officials say doesn't cost the students anything. "Our main thrust is to help the environment, but there is a minor amount of revenue coming in from the paper sales," said Larry Rankin, physical plant assistant director.

The small amount of money generated from the recycling is used as a trade-off to pay for the cost of having the paper picked up, said Joyce Mounce, administration vice president. "Anything leftover flows back into the pool (revolving fund), so to speak," Mounce said. "It won't do much. In fact, the last check we got was only $2.90," said David Koehn, university controller.

The CSU recycling program has been implemented gradually. "Inital steps began in the administration building, then we expanded it to Old North," Rankin said.

Now you can find a recycling desk-top tray in just about every office and recycling barrels at 12 locations around campus, Rankin said. "Only white paper is being collected," Rankin said. "The paper companies say it's too costly bleaching out colored paper, and there isn't a market for old newspapers. We do hope students will put regular note paper in the containers, just so long as it's not the yellow kind."

Rankin said after the paper leaves CSU it is recycled into useable products, many of which are sold in the campus bookstore.

Recycling barrels can be found:

Prof receives journalism study fellowship

By Larry Rogers

Staff Writer

Mark Hanebutt, journalism instructor and director of The Vista at Central State University, is one of 15 teachers nationwide awarded a Gannett Foundation Teaching Workshop fellowship this summer at Indiana University.

The fellowships are offered to journalism teachers who have demonstrated an interest in improving their skills. The workshop, to be held July 21-27, will put emphasis on teaching news writing, reporting and editing. Experts in the field will lecture on teaching philosophies, testing, new technology and ways to stimulate class discussion. "I'm really pleased to have won," Hanebutt said. "It's a great honor."

The Gannett offering is the second fellowship Hanebutt has received this year. In January he attended a week-long seminar on editing weekly and small daily newspapers in Washington D.C. on the American Press Institute's James H. Ottaway Fellowship. "The two fellowships combined should pretty well prepare me for what is new in the business," Hanebutt said.

An Evansville, Md. native, Hanebutt received a bachelor of arts degree in journalism in 1973 from the University of Evansville, and a master of arts degree in English from CSU in 1990.

He was a reporter for The Evansville Courier, and was a senior writer for The Orlando Sentinel in Orlando, Fla.

Hanebutt worked as a freelance journalist and public relations writer in Oklahoma City and joined the CSU faculty in 1987.

This is Hanebutt's first fulltime teaching position. He said he turned to the field because he got tired of what he saw corning out of the universities and into the newsroom. "I've seen too many journalism graduates who can't write, and the problem is getting worse," Hanebutt said. V
