The following are suggestions on what an "individual can do as a consumer, as a worker, and as a voter," to solve some of the problems in the environmental crisis. Speakers will be on the Longwood campus for four days beginning Monday, April 20, until Thursday, April 23, to discuss this crisis. Teach-ins will be held on many college campuses on April 22, which has been designated as the First National Environmental Teach-in. These suggestions have been reprinted from "The Environmental Handbook," edited by Garrett De Bell. 1. Mail in any envelopes you get in advertisements for ecologically undesirable products. Each one sent in costs the polluter about seven cents of his profits. 2. When you go to the supermarket for milk, take an empty jug with you. At the check-out stand, pour milk from the disposable carton into your recycled jug, give the empty "disposable" carton to the checker, and explain your action to him. This type of action could be done with other goods packaged in nonrecycleable containers. 3. Conservation research organizations should be established to do research on the environmental effects of various products and practices. Such organizations could develop data on which companies produce the most pollution, so that pressure could be brought on offenders. They can encourage consumers to consider not only the quality of the product but also the total environmental effects of its production, distribution and disposal. How about an "Earth Housekeeping Seal of Approval" for products with no harmful side effects of production, use and disposal? 4. Mechanized recreation, such as using snowmobiles, dune buggies, power boats, trail bikes and jeeps, is the epitome of a trend which is going in exactly the wrong direction. With our current population increase and the even greater increase in leisure time that people desire to spend in recreation, space should not be wasted. Mechanized forms of recreation use (Continued uii on rage Page O) 3) VWiiiuiueu

Glenn Yarbrough, to find out some details of his life, his music, and his ideas. A few pictures were taken, a few friendly but formal questions were asked, and then he was hurried away in order to reach another engagement. Lacking such facts as previously mentioned there seemed to be little hope for a news story. Obviously, the interview was not substantial, but perhaps the man's performance and music provide a much more meaningful and revealing story. Glenn Yarbrough resents the fact that no one has ever attempted to make a distinction between a college concert and a regular concert. He condemns the middleman who jacks up prices for a college concert. Therefore, his purpose is to define these two types of concerts. He hopefully plans to organize a network of entertainers to perform for college students. He Is concerned with the quality of entertainment that students receive. Glenn Yarbrough works for an exact and standard price and prefers to have no guarantees in the contract. He also would
smaller college is unable to raise enough funds. Glenn Yarbrough is responsible for the popularity of several celebrities, such as Bill Cosby and Rod McKuen. His sincere concern for honest and professional entertainment is evident in his college concerts, and it touches the audience. It's time to go, to run, hurry, faster, get the tickets, and grab your seats. In a smothering, simmering, busy auditorium you passively await the entertainment that you have paid for. Socialized, civilized, mechanized - you are a [art of the audience, you continue in your locked-up existence; the stage is another world. But if you peel the plastic from your eyes, from your mind, you can enter those lost realms of sensation. The songs of Glenn Yarbrough weigh man in a balance - his worth, his limitations, his possibilities. They present a duallstic view of life, success and failure, hope and despair, love and lorellness. His deep, powerful, and soothing voice creates a lyrical beauty In his songs, which arouses a tear and a smile of understanding.
