Youth urged to ' care for earth ' Environmental Awareness Week 1970 was April 5-11. It began with a Sunday rally and dance followed by a speaker, Tom Dahl. Secretary of the Interior Walter Hickel spoke on Mon- day and challenged the nation ' s youth to care for the earth, declaring that pollution is not just something politi- cally popular to talk about. Seminars such as Population Everybody ' s Baby, photography and poster contests, a film festival and an Environmental Town Meeting gave everyone a chance to become involved. Drawing the most publicity was the Can-A-Second Marathon which collect- ed over 350,000 cans off of Manhattan ' s streets. Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity won the event by collecting in excess of 106,000 cans. Classes such as Man ' s Physical World II labs, worked togeth- er to arrange a pollution exhibit which was displayed in Cardwell hall. College living groups and other com- munity groups entered in the Can-A- Second contest to collect the many cans discarded beside local streets.
