By AARON SHEININ
Assistant News Editor
In a time when waste is rampant
and litter is overflowing the
landfills, Kappy Cannon's fourth
grade class at Lonnie B. Nelson
Elementary School is literally a
breath of fresh air.
These students, who through
their comprehensive study of the
environment are probably more
aware of the problem of recycling
than most college students,
recently got their hands on copies
of the Summer and Fall
1991 USC Master Schedules.
Needless to say, they were most
displeased by the glossy cover.
The reason for their dissatisfaction
is they have learned in
class that the glossy finish on the
cover, like with the pages of a
magazine, makes it almost impossible
to recycle.
John Newman of the USC Recycling
Office, said he was
pleased to see students starting to
become aware of environmental
problems at such an eariy age.
He also said, however, that there

"I checked with the people

they will rip them (the

We really want to fix these," said
Paige Orman, one of the fourth

"Adults really should listen to
us, because it's their Earth too,
and if we don't recycle we won't
have an Earth," she said.
Megan Hefner, another student,
said the university should
change the cover.
"If they don't, they are wasting
a lot of things," she said.
