Use public transportation. Along with limiting car trips, reduce the amount of emission from your
vehicle when you do drive by: Keeping your vehicle well-tuned and tires inflated properly. By going
from under-inflated tires to proper pressure you can actually see the difference in gas mileage. Avoid
idling or leaving your car running when you run in somewhere. Most engines do not achieve a 'full
burn' when idling, so idling exhaust contains more carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons than
running exhaust.
Keep your trunk, truck bed, and backseat clean and free of unnecessary items. You may have bought
4 bags of potting soil last weekend but then found it cheaper somewhere else, so you intend on return
ing it next weekend. Increased vehicle weight directly contributes to reduced gas mileage, those 4
bags of potting soil traveling to and from work each day might be costing you more than you think.
Make your next vehicle a LEV, Low Emission Vehicle, ULEV - Ultra Low Emission Vehicle, SULEV
- Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle, or even a ZEV - Zero Emission Vehicle. We recommend taking a
look at one of the new Hybrid vehicles from Toyota and Honda. Also, a very interesting and educa
tional website is www.fueleconomy.gov, find out how your vehicle stacks up.

Sparrows," originally published in
1986 and subsequently out-of-print, has
recently been reissued by The Carnegie
Mellon Classic Contemporaries Series,
a special branch of Carnegie-Mellon
Press. "Vesper Sparrows" won the
Delmore Schwartz Memorial Poetry
Award in 1987, a year after its release.
A second book of poetry, "Late in the
Millennium," followed in 1989.
After the release of "Fugitive
Spring," Digges shifted gears and
wrote her most praise-worthy book of
poetry entitled, "Rough Music."
Published in 1995, the book garnered
critical acclaim from "The New
Yorker," which called it "an outstand-

TASK FORCE
Tips from the Greener Behrend Task Force Education Committee: Reduce your number of
daily vehicle trips and reduce your emissions
Air pollution from motor vehicles depends on the number of vehicles on the road multiplied by the
amount of pollutants emitted by each vehicle. Over the last 25 years improved engine pollution con
trol systems has lead to an overall reduction in the amount of pollution emitted per quantity of fuel
burned; however, the continually increasing number of vehicles on the road and increased average size
of the vehicle and engine is causing overall increased emission levels of carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and hydrocarbons. Around 50 percent of the toxic air emissions in our state come from
motor vehicles, these toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde, and VOCs are known to cause cancer,
poisoning and other ailments.
The best ways to limit vehicle use are: Preplan errands to avoid unnecessary driving. By planning
you can help avoid forgetting an item that causes you to go back; also, you can combine visits to a
number of stores in one car trip. Minimize driving by working and playing closer to home. Although,
living close to work can be much easier said than done, playing close to home can be very rewarding.
We're always searching for fun activities; don't forget to look in your own community. From parks, to
local libraries, gyms, and coffeeshops; it's usually just down the road...which then begs the next rec
ommendation. Bike or walk to avoid fuel use entirely. You paid for the food as well, burn calories
instead of gasoline.
ing collection." "Rough Music" also
received the Kingsley Tufts Poetry
award, one of the most lucrative and
well-known poetry prizes, in 1996.
In 2001, after a substantially long
hiatus, Digges released her second
memoir, "The Stardust Lounge: Stories
from a Boy's Adolescence," about her
troubled son. Digges latest offering to
readers across the map is "Trapeze,"
her fourth collection of poetry which
besides featuring new, unreleased
material also compiles poems pub
lished in "The New Yorker" and "The
Atlantic Monthly," among others.
Non-fiction writer and Assistant
Professor of Creative Writing, Dr.
Holly Welker believes that a willing
ness to scrutinize the complexity of

one's own life is the most important
element in non-fiction writing.
"I want to see their secondary step:
how they have dealt with those chal
lenges and turned the experience they
had into art," said Welker.
Currently, Digges is a professor of
English at Tufts University, outside of
Boston. With an extensive body of
work and numerous awards to her
name, Digges has appropriately earned
the honor of launching this semester's
Creative Writer's Speakers Series.
Digges will read from her works on
March 3 at 7 p.m. in the Smith Chapel.
Before the reading begins, a small
reception will be held for her at 4 p.m.
in the living room area of the Smith
Chapel.
