Even when the Wolverines lose, the Athletic Department wins in a new waste-reduction pro- gram initiated by three SNRE graduate students and University Grounds and Waste Management. Since the start of the football season, Jeanne Carlson, Wendy Comeau and Ornitte Nagar have been picking up vendors' cardboard containers and have set up receptacles for fans to discard their pizza boxes and cider bottles- all inthe name ofrecycling to reduce landfill space. Each game generates about two to three garbage-truck loads of waste. "It has been a strange mix of disappointment and motivation," Comeau said, noting that institu- tional practices are hard to change because they have been in place for so long. Since landfill regulations have become more stringent in the last few years, the grounds depart- ment decided the stadium needed help to reduce the University's waste. The three SNRE students said they would take on the task and use it for their master's practicum, which is required for gradua- tion. So far, they said they have been able to recover 8 to 16 percent of the waste stream per game. "We started out behind the scenes, and now are trying to make sure the public knows it's happen- ing," said Erica Spiegel, the recycling coordinator for University Grounds and Waste Management. Crowd size also makes it hard to create awareness. "It's been a challenge because people want to go watch the game, eat a few hot dogs," Spiegel said. Carlson said some people throw hot dogs and chewing gum in their dumpsters, assuming they are collecting trash. "It's frustrating because there are just so many people there that they just don't see it," Nagar said. Fans consume about 3,000 pretzels, up to 50,000 soft drinks in plastic cups and up to 3,500 pizzas each game, leading to a tremendous cleanup respon- sibility for the Athletic Department. So the depart- ment views the recycling crew as an improvement for the stadium. "There are containers all over the stadium. These bins show that we at the Athletic Department are into recycling," said Leon Tweedy, a stadium super- visor. TONYA BROAD/Daily Containers collect for stadium recycling. HUES MWOnen WALKER VAN uYKE/Daiy Trck-ortreat Four women trick-or-treat at East Quad on Saturday night. Tria t ben ow Coming's By Gall Mongkolpradit Daily Staff Reporter HUES Magazine began in 1992 as a women's studies "action project" by three University students, but with a circulation of 120,000, it is now the first internationally recognized multicultural pro-woman's magazine. Ophira Edut, Dyann Logwood and Tali Edut, the publishersof HUES, were inspired to create a magazine that would abolish what they call the ideal image of women. HUES, which stands for "Hear Us Emerging Sisters," is published quarterly. "When you go to the magazine racks all you will see on the magazine covers are women that are six feet tall and 100 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes," said Ophira Edut. "Today, too many women down-grade themselves and other women" "HUES provides for women a ca- thartic experience where women might read an article and realize they aren't alone with what they are experienc- ing," said Tali Edut. "It promotes self- esteem in women, which is the basic key to accomplishing anything." The publishers of HUES said they be- lieve ethnic women are underrepresented in magazines. "There needs to be a maga- zine thathasarticles andpicturesofdown- to-earth women that readers can identify with," said Ophira Edut. "No race is good enough for these magazines. Either the skin is too dark, or the height is too short; there always is an excuse for not representing women of color in magazines," she said. "We recognized this problem, and so we decided to start a magazine that did things differently." All three publishers lived in Bursley Hall as undergraduates. "We used to have late-night talks as we ate pizza in our dorm rooms or by vending mi chines about everything: self-esteemh, diet, race and society," said Ophira Edut. "We were a strong, sisterly support network for each other." HUES provides a space for women of all experiences to tell what they think and stories of what they face in their lives. "Unlike othermagazines, HUES does not discriminate against race, genderorsexual orientation," said Ophira Edut. Although HUES is a pro-worfin magazine, that does not mean it is aflt- male. "If the truth hurts, the pai1T s justified," said Ophira Edut. "One igs-e got more mail from men than womi . Most men like H UES because they want to know and understand what wonien think," she said. "We try to be fair. Male-bashing # a ridiculous thing," said Tali Edut. "Min have been bashing women for yeats, and when women finally speak. cit against it, we are accused of bashin4." Some people said that HUES comes along at the right time. "Today thereas a need for this type of magazine andlit is welcomed," said LSA senior Darifis Garcia, the quiz editor and circulation director for HUES. t "Finally women are beginning o appreciate who they are, and their boil- ies too. They aren't trying to be like the models that are always seen in CosMo and in Vogue," Garcia said. HUES magazine encourages intr- ested people of any race, gender or sexual orientation to join its staff (thay call it their "collective") or to subnit opinions. A mass meeting is held Jbe second Monday of every month. Tie time and location of the mass meeting will be announced on e-mail at hues@mail.lifeplay.net. lawsuitA agintinsurers Of, DETROIT (AP) - The trial of hass Dow Corning Corp.'s lawsuit to de- The insurers have termine how much its insurers should S pay toward its costs of settling and maintained that ceiv defending against breast-implant liti- Dow Corning failed ance gation is set to begin this week.impl Dow Corning, once the largest to disclose manufacturer of breast implants, has been the target of hundreds of thou- important facts wan sands of lawsuits by women who al- Than lege the devices caused a variety of about its silicone ongi diseases, ailments and disfigurement. in Se The insurers have maintained that reast Implans. settle Dow Coming failed to disclose im- portant facts about its silicone breast Corning was preparing to go to trial implants when it bought the contested against more than 100 insurers with policies, and that some of its litiga- about 700 contested policies the com- implants said. ince then, the company has re- ed about $127 million in insur- reimbursements related to breast- ant claims. fdge Robert Colombo has said he Is to complete the case before nksgiving on Nov. 23.

Dow Corning insists the implants are safe, and major scientific studies have found no link between the im- plants and serious diseases. The Midland-based company cited the cost of defending itself against the lawsuits, and the reluctance of its insurers to pay, when it filed for Chap- ter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in May. Since then, the lawsuits against Dow Corning have been on hold. Jury selection in the insurance case is scheduled to begin tomorrow in Wayne County Circuit Court. Open- ing arguments should begin Wednes- day and the trial is expected to last a month, Dow Corning spokeswoman Barbara Muessig said. As recently as September, Dow pany bought from 1962 through 1985. But many have since settled. As of Friday, the company was ready to go to trial against 43 insurers with 396 policies that provide for more than $1 billion in coverage, Muessig said. But Dow Corning said settlements with several insurers were expected before the trial begins. The jury will be asked to deter- mine which policies apply to the liti- gation and to resolve conflicts be- tween overlapping policies. Policies the company bought after 1985 are of a different type and are not at issue. The insurers had covered Dow Coming's costs of defending, settling and paying judgments for breast-im- plant claims until the company was flooded with the liability lawsuits in 1992, company attorney Scott Adams SPRINTING .
