Dan Evans, who spoke Monday evening in the Performing Arts Center. In a speech titled, "Whatever Happened to the Bully Pulpit?" Evans spoke on how to recreate an era in which leaders lead, even when the appropriate direction appears unpopular. "Leaders have become followers. They believe 'To get along, go along.' They rely too much on the poll," Evans said. He outlined two of "Evans' political theories": the theory of the political mainstream and the "surfer's theory" of politics. "Everyone wants to be in the mainstream, but streams tend to wander. It is not the streams which make a difference, but the water on the edge, which forges new paths and change," Evans said. 'Within the next five years, the threat of nuclear war will be replaced with the threat of environmental disaster.' — Dan Evans In the "surfer's theory" of politics, "You wait for the magic wave to come along, but if you jump early, you crash. If you wait too long, the wave will leave you behind," he said. He said Teddy Roosevelt knew the joys of debate and reform, but he was not the first to refer to the "bully pulpit." Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln used the presidency for reform and change. "Why are there no leaders of the bully pulpit today? Because technology and communication is different," Evans said. Communication today is visual, as well as oral, he said. Viewers on the evening news tune out the less important information, so the broadcasts have little time for the unusual or controversial. "Major events are compressed down to a few minutes of information before moving on to something else. The producers assume what the audience, wants," Evans said. He said today's commercial ads get shorter and are almost devoid of meaningful thought. "It seems to be network A versus network B today. We must break up the network dominance with cable TV, satellite and VCRs. Today's problems demand ideas and answers," Evans said. He said the problems of today range from the federal deficit to pollution and global warming. "Congress and the President are not using the money from taxes on what it should be spent on, like reducing the deficit. When Bush goes 'read my lips,' that is not much of a bully pulpit," Evans said. The world now is a waste of human activity, he said. Twenty-five percent of the world's pollution comes from the United States with only 5 percent of the population. "Another major problem is corruption and greed in government. Insider trading and payoffs lead to poor workmanship and poor products," Evans said. He also listed some challenges which the United States encounters. Some may become problems in the future, he said. "If we are to continue our position in the world, we must reform the education system," Evans said. High school students should get away from the educational "smorgas-board" they now have and toward more important subjects, Evans said.

(Photo by TIM BOYLES) AS hears recycling plan Guatemalan tells By DOUGLAS BUELL campus government editor Associated Students, under a new proposal, would use recycled paper products instead of virgin paper products in AS operations. Greg Anderton, AS vice president for External Affairs, said student government should set an example for administrators and students by leading the effort to phase out virgin paper, which, if possible, also would include unbleached • paper. The problem is creating a market for recycled paper, which now is considered a specialty item, he said. "We need to create a demand for recycled paper and I believe we should be on the leading edge of this," Anderton said during Tuesday's AS board meeting. The paper can be passed through the recycling process eight times over and be sold in a pulplike form. He said the AS was responsible for initiating the school's recycling program, which eventually grew to become a cam-puswide service for collecting paper, bottles and cans. He added the recycled paper-only proposal would fit in well with current on-campus environmental efforts such as the ban on Styrofoam. "The ethical reason is the product is out there; it's available," he said. "The economic reason is, 'Why don't we?'" But, he said, "As long as we are using virgin paper products, our recycling program is somewhat of a moot point." Beth Fries, an assistant coordinator with AS Environmental Center, agreed the program doesn't come full circle unless full use of recycled paper is used. 'It's really the only thing that makes sense in that we have such a good recycling program here," Fries said. Anderton said the switch initially would be more costly. Recycled paper is less expensive to produce than virgin paper because fewer costs are associated with processing it. He said an economic irony exists in that demand for recycled paper products now is limited. For this reason, the market has been slow to respond and recycled paper is a specialty product rather than an alternative to virgin paper, he said. Anderton said by mandating the use of recycled paper the AS will contribute to the demand for it, thus providing an incentive for more companies to enter the market. Eventually the costs would be reduced, and as more suppliers entered the market, there would be more competition and thus lower prices, he said. "We should because there's a glut of recycling paper on the market and now we have to pay to get rid of it. So there's no economical incentives," he said. Fries hopes to meet soon with students from the University of Washington and The Evergreen State College to bolster support for recycled paper use on cam- See RECYCLE on page 5 of national horrors By CHRIS HUDYMA the Western Front "The search for peace is (the Guatemalan people's) national goal, but the government is not interested in peace, and the answer they give us is death, torture and assassination," said Julio Lopez Maldonado, a Guatemalan student leader. Maldonado spoke out about the struggle between Guatemala's repressive government and rebel uprising during a talk at 7 p.m., Nov. 21 in the Viking Union main lounge. Darcy Utter-back of the Peace Resource Center translated for him. Maldonado has been a participant in student activism throughout the decade and is currently a student representative in the Commission for Life and Peace at the University of San Carlos in Guatemala. He left Guatemala this fall when government death squads began renewing their efforts to seize and assassinate student leaders. The Association of University Students, of which Maldonado is a member, represents the 60,000 students that attend the University of San Carlos. The association plays a sig-i nificant role in the Guatemalan social change movement. Therefore, people affiliated with the organization are often targets of the Guatemalan government's security forces and death squads, he said. Since August of this year, more than 12 members of the student -organization have been seized and/or killed, he explained. Guatemalan government officials said the kidnappings and assassinations are due to power struggles within the student organization. Maldonado disagrees. He said just on Aug. 23, 10 See SPEECH on page 5
