Tanner, director of Michigan State's Campus Water Plan. Sewage treatment is one example of how wastes of elements such as phosphorus and nitrogen - instead of being recycled into farmlands or into chemical houses - are being turned ag~nst us. But a group of Michigan State scientists plans to build a SOO-acre example of how sewage water can be used to benefit humankind. The plan, already backed by grants totaling almost $2 million from the Kresge, Ford and Rockefeller Foundations and the Michigan Legislature, calls for secondary effluent to be piped about five miles from the East Lansing MuniCipal Treatment Plant to the campus. Three million gallons of the effluent will course slowly through ' four man - engineered depressions in the campus landscape. Result: Fourlakes, some of which will be used for boating, fishing and other water recreation. Picnic sites will be at lakeside. * * * SINCE WHEN does -a university get involved with community, state or national problems such as sewage disposal and pollution? . MSU and other universities on occasion remind people, sometimes themselves, that problem - solving has been vital to universities since their beginning. MSU calls it the "land - grant philosophy." Service to agriculture is one outstanding example of that philosophy. . "If we are to maintain a semblance of purity and acceptability in our rivers, lakes and Great Lakes, it is incumbent upon the University structure to contribute," says Tanner. "We have been working on scie:1tific developments of new and imaginative methods for water quality for decades. Our new water quality plan is one culmination of that previous work." The Red Cedar RIver, which has a vital role in the MSU Campus Water Plan, is one of the most studied of rivers in the world. It has been the battleground for many a research project and a data-mine for many an MSU academic degree. Now it will be getting something besides pollu_tion in return. The Red Cedar will receive much of the purified water from the four-lake system on campus. * * * FIRST, THE nutrient - enriched water from the municipal plant goes via a 12-inch diameter pipe to the lakes.

And when he says he'd love to try water skiing, he means -it. Though blind since 18 Don believes that "there's not much you can t do if you set you r mind to it." For 22 years, he made his way around Detroit as a door - t~ - door salesman - without the help of a leader dog. He can even drjve a car WIth directions fro m a passenger. And when rus youngsters were small he would skate with them on his back around the ice rink. , . . ' Four and a half years ago, Don moved his wife, who is also blind, and his family to Lansing to begin a new business career. Today he singlehandedly operates th~ combination coffee lounge -. l~nch counter in the. Hannah Administration Building - serving most of the buildmg's 437 employes daily. The snack shop, offering everything from cigarettes, coffee and rolls to hot sandwiches, chili and goulash, grosses approximately $3,300 a month. * * * SINCE THE University installed Braille lettering beside the new lighted floor buttons on the Administration Building elevators a few weeks ago, Don has had to rely again on his sense of touch to find his way to work on the second floor. Ironically, no one told him that Braille was being added to the control panel. And the oversight sparked a frustrating dilemma now familiar to many building . employes. Jim Peters, assistant director of space utilization, heard the story from his secretary: Don ended down in the basement, instead of the second floor, when he tried to use the new panel directions for the first time. "To tell you the truth," Don admitted, "I was kind of annoyed." He had learned how to feel for the old raised buttons. "Now I have to look at the Braille." Because he was blessed with sight, albeit failing, for 18 years, he was able to read and study regular books and newspapers. Since his blindness, he has not used Braille very much. * * * LIKE HIS counterpart, the sighted self - employed businessman, Don puts in a Yugoslav' 'seminar provides 'total educational experience' (Editor's Note: Associate Editor Beverly Twitchell spent eight weeks this summer participating in the International Seminar in Omis, Journalism Comparative Yugoslavia. Here is a report of her stay.) in The setting was probably ideal for almost anything except studying. The deep azure Adriatic Sea, the sun, the mountains, casual Dalmatian way of life .... slow and the fust Nevertheless, the 35 students who attended MSU's International Seminar in Comparative Journalism in Omis, Yugoslavia, this summer were seen - books in hand - on the beach, on the terrace, in their rooms. And hours were found to work on the special independent projects, also required for the two - course seminar. More often, students were in conversation with the 18 guest lecturers who came during six weeks, representing nine nationalities. the experience, educational Bill Bryson, food supervisor in Case Halls and a graduate student in political science, described the seminar as "much more of a living - learning concept, a total than anything I have ever had in the past." Christensen, Don agricultural information marketing services and a graduate student in journalism, said he was impressed not only by the expertise of the lecturers - editors and correspondents from some of the top newspapers and broadcasting networks in the world - but also by their willirlgness to share their time in infonnal sessions. editor for * * * THE SEMINAR was arranged and conducted by Stanley Smith, associate professor of journalism. Yugoslavia was selected as a course site because of Smith's familiarity with the country but also for its political and geographical accessibility to both western and eastern journalists. During morning classes were lectures: by the deputy . director of Reuters, Doon Campbell; Mark Hopkins, Moscow for correspondent the Milwaukee Journal and author of "Mass Media in the Soviet Union;" Iverach McDonald, associate editor of the London Times; and W. Harford Thomas, managing editor of the London - Mancheste.r Guardian ... and on . ~ . does How flexibility, Then the students' questions were posed: What are the pressures ... ?

How did your country cover the Soviet invasion of can Czechoslovakia? communication between the press of various countrjes be encouraged? . . . and on . .. It is difficult to describe the totality of the educational experience. We probed journalistic concerns with the speakers, but we found equal interest on both in other contemporary issues - racism, campus unrest, pollution. The discussions were sometimes. broad, but more meaningful with the international contributions - interjections on various political - social struggles in Africa from Frank Barton of the International Press Institute ; the tourism industry question in Yugoslavia, discussed with Richard Sudhalter, UPI correspondent in Belgrade; discussion on solutions to racism with Albert Georges Salvan, who had covered the Algerian-revolution for Agence France Presse .. .. and on ... (pollution) sides vs. And the climate ... not only the sun and sea and sky and the beauty in soaking it all in . . . but the people. Being the first American group to stay in the small Yugoslav town was better, some students thought, than staying in London, Paris or Rome, not only because of the different culture, but very simply because of the direct contact with people. It was, in all, as Don Christensen said, an opportunity to gain understanding of other newspapers, of other press philosophies and of other peoples~ Lunch counter operator Don Paschke (left) with Vendor A. J. Tomlanovich: "There's hot much you can't do if you set your mind to it." - Photo by Bob Smith restocking counters and shelves, brewing fresh long day, most of it on his feet - coffee, cleaning tables, and bringing smiles and chuckles to his appreciative customers. "Most of the time, I feel good. I made up my mind a long time ago that you have to come to work so you may as well enjoy it. "So~etimes I hear someone who's kind of grumpy, so I try to say something to cheer them up." One ofthosesomeb9dies touched and cheered by Don's concern for other people is Shirley Sleep, an office assistant in research and overseas contracts. A divorced mother of two, she drives Don from work to his home in southwest Lansing every night. And sometimes, she has a lot on her mind. On just such a night, Don startled per when he said, "Come on, Shirley, smile." " I couldn't imagine how he knew I wasn't smiling," she said. "But I wasn't. He seems to have a sixth sense about people." Without his sight, Don, of course, has come to rely on other senses with an amazing degree of success that has not gone unnoticed by his customers. "Don is the type of fellow who remembers the different things people do," says Lyle Ruth, from the business office. He explained, " I am usually humming a song or something when I come in to the snack shop, and before I say 'Hello,' Don says 'Hi, Lyle.' " . Lyle also noticed that Don always talks as if he had sight. For example, when discussing television programs, he will say, "I watched that program last night." - * * * DON'S HANDS are his eyes to a large extent. And in combination with his sense of direction, they help him enjoy activities common to the sighted. It amazed his over - the - back - fence neighbor, Jerry Jacobs, another MSU employe, to see Don shoveling his driveway last winter. Don, also mows his own lawn, helps his wife hang out the laundry, and makes necessary repairs on their house. Jerry watched in fascination _ one summer day recently as Don conducted a landscaping project in the back yard, the planting of three young trees. "I doubt uyou or I could have spaced them more evenly or in a straighter line" said Jerry. ' It must have been his willingness to try anything that prompted this 49 - year _ old businessman to take the wheel one day while driving in Detroit suburbs with his brother. "I drove right through Drayton Plains," he said, smiling broadly, "But it's not recommended." And if someone gave him the chance, he probably would try waterskiing. Water re-use • • • (Continued from page 1) Plants will strip nutrients from the wastewater as it passes through these lakes," says Tanner. "In this way, the ' wastewater will contribute to the production of plants that have potential equal to most forage crops as animal food. Thus,the plants will be harvested and their nutrient and economic values determined. "To complete the nutrient extraction of the water we will use the lakes as a source of irrigation water for a land - plant complex. Here the water will be applied to forage crops, row crops, pine plantations, forested areas and natural plant successions. Each will be harvested and used." Tanner continued: "Excess water from the irrigation will enter the ground aquifers as pure water and aid in the recharge of a rapidly dwindling supply of ground water in the region. The aquifers are porous regions of sand, gravel or limestone. - "From their project will emerge subsidiary developments," says Tanner. "As competence and confidence grow, the amount and kinds of wastes to be recyded will be . increased. We look forward to the time when this campus can, as a functioning community example, show the way to completely recycle all of our wastes." Opening in fall School offers 'alternatives' By DEBORAH KRELL Interim Associate Editor Parents normally vow to give their children they themselves didn't have. But when it comes to elementary education, today's parents usually have been able to provide only as good as they received. the things St¥tiilg next month, !in "alternative in East Lansing will offer school" parents an opportunity to involve their children in a new educational concept that draws from some of the best - known advocates and institutions of educational reform. The Paul Goodman Community School (named for the noted social critic whose books include "Growing Up Absurd"), was founded by James and Marilyn Uleman and Gordon Smith to cater to students' interests. The Ulemans contend that learning grows out of these interests, so the school will teach no "subjects" - the children will decide what they want to learn. "But it's not an elitist school or a 'hippie - freak - out' scene," James Uleman says. * * * THE NEW school will enroll 3 - year - old to kindergarten - age children and will operate weekdays on a half - day basis. It has a day care license, but its founders want to avoid any parental notions to "love 'em and leave 'em" at school. They are demanding a strong commitment by parents. .

The founders want 15 to start but will take no more 'than 25 for this first year. * * * THE ULEMANS say they believe that learning grows out of a' child's own interests - "the teacher will be the conveyor of what the child wants to learn" and "the older kids can teach the younger kids," is how Uleman put it. Added Mrs. Uleman: "We plan to apE!~ach a curriculum from the point of view of what children that age like to do." As for learning aids, toys and school equipment, "there will be no fully equipped room - we hope the kids will equip them," she said. "There will' be some basic equipment," she continued, "the usual nursery school supplies. And, by the way, if anyone has any old radios and things, we'd like them -we need things that children like to take apart." Mrs. Uleman said that various people from MSU and the community have volunteered their talents in areas like music and biology. "Some musically oriented people are going to try creative movement with the children," she said. And in art, "We're going to supply them with lots of paint and paper and that seem water - relevant," she said. the materials There will be no strict. daily routine at the school. If the youngsters want to go to the library, "why, they'll go," Mrs. Uleman said. * * * SHE ADDED that evaluating each child will have to be done from a very subjective point of view. "There will be it doesn't no standard evaluation - seem relevant to the goalswesee." The Uleman's main concern for the school now is having somewhere to put it. They said that it appears they will be able to rent space from the public school system (James Uleman said one of the Paul Goodman School's goals is to have the Rublic school system eventually adopt the same kind of: "alternative school"). Mrs. Uleman said they thought about buying and renovating an old house, but "that involves us too permanently - we don't know if we wan.t this, .~€:.cause we want to be. incorporated into the school syst~m." But both Ulemans said that in order to introduce an idea such as theirs into the present school system, "some restructuring in the schools and in parents' ways of thinking" would be required. * * * TUITION FOR each child enrolled this first year will be $500. "There will be no scholarships this year," Uleman said, "But we hope to be in the position to offer scholarships." the range long - Ulemans and the Paul Goodman School are a heterogeneous enrollment and federal funding. roals for Two Uleman said that he eventually wants to bring children from o.ther economic and ethnic groups to the school.
