Students from seven area high
schools recently participated in the
first of two Engineering-Technology
Career Days at the Penn State
Wilkes-Barre campus in Lehman.
Students met with faculty, staff,
students and. counselors in class-
room, laboratory and lecture activi-
ties designed to allow them to
explore career options and to make
more informed career choices.
Guest speaker JoAnn Post, a tele-
communications graduate of the
campus who is currently advertis-
ing coordinator for Commonwealth
Telephone Enterprises, spoke on the
“The Job Outlook and New Technol-
ogy.” Patty O’Neill, campus counse-
lor, presented ‘‘Is Engineering-
Technology For You?”
Specific areas students explored
were management information sys-
tems-computers, biomedical equip-
ment technology, electrical engi-
neering technology, mechanical
engineering technology, and tele-
communications technology.
Career Days are eing sponsored
by the Opportunities in Technology
program at the campus which,
under the direction of Helen Stager,
encourages under-represented. popu-
lations, especially women, to pursue
careers in the rapidly growing tech-
nology fields.
The second high school Career
Day will be held Tuesday, April 2.
Similar sessions are planned for
junior high school students on April
11 and 12.

extra money. And Anheuser-
Busch is now looking into ways
of recycling glass bottles. That
will come.”
Raymond Kern, a local retailer
in the Dallas Shopping Center
concurs with Falcone’s thoughts.
“I can see both sides, but I
don’t think the deposit law would
satisfy anything, ” Kern said. “It
would raise the cost of the liquid
because there would be twice as
much handling, and there would
also be a huge santitatin prob-
lem. We don’t have enough space
to store all the empty containers,
and we don’t want flies and bugs
around here. Besides, people
want throw-aways. We’ve been in
business for 50 years and now 90
percent of what we stock is
throw-aways because that’s what
sells!”
Proponents for the bottle bill
argue that passage of such legis-
lation would especially benefit
agriculture and tourism, the two
top industries in Pennsylvania.
They counter the opposition’s
claim that the liquid beverage
would cost more by stating that
the current cost of throwaways is
misleading because the cost of
litter clean-up and solid waste
disposal is not reflected in their
price. They cite the fact that
beverages in Vermont, one of the
seven states which has passed
deposit legislation, are no more
costly than those in neighboring
New Hampshire, a non-returna-
ble state.
Al Miers, a spokesman for the
Pennsylvania Farmer’s Associa-
tion in Harrisburg, says farmers
are currently paying a high price
for the cost of litter in terms of
time spent picking up litter in
their fields, cost of damage to
equipment from bottles and cans,
| and even the loss of animals who
have swallowed glass or alumi-
num.
Will Conyngham, manager of
the Hillside Farm Dairy Store on
Hillside Road in Trucksville,
| agrees.
“I'm in favor of the deposit
bill,” Conyngham says. “I can’t
recall any damage the farm has
had to our animals caused by
litter, but I know it makes a
terrible mess. We have to spend
a lot of time cleaning up one of
our fields that borders the road
on top of the hill, not to mention
how often we have to go out and
clean up in front of the store. As
a retailer for soda, the returns
might cause some hassle for us,
but it would be well worth it. Our
milk business is done with
returnables, and we don’t have
many problems.”
Andy Roan Jr., a Shavertown
beverage retailer, says that
while he can see both sides to the
argument, he is in favor of the
legislation.
“Pennsylvania roadsides are
among the dirtiest in the nation,
and it would help clean up the
roads,” Roan said. ‘Besides, I
think it would be cheaper for the
consumer. It would be a problem
for us to stockpile bottles, but if
something was set up like the
central locations for refunds they
have in New York, that would
lessen the problem.”
The Pennsylvania Federation
of Sportsmen’s Clubs, whose
members consider themselves
“keepers of the environment”
also backs the bottle bill. Spokes-
men for the club say that the
sight of PennDOT crews out
picking up litter is testimony
enough that legislation is needed.
Musto himself, who is chair-
man of the Environmental Com-
mittee for the Senate, announced
last week he is still undecided
about the legislation.
‘“‘We’ve been hearing both
sides,” the congressman said.
“These meetings are a good way
to hear from our constituents and
we appreciate the interest.
Public hearings will be held
locally before the proposed bill
comes up for debate.”
