Student Awareness Earth Week
In 1976 WKU students observed Earth Week April 11th – 17th. A group sprang up calling themselves Energy for Student Awareness. They were concerned and printed a 12 page newsletter. The group screened films, had a food drive for Guatemalans and staged the Earth Awareness Festival outside Downing University Center. The newsletter includes articles regarding The Farm a commune in Summerton, Tennessee, nuclear energy, alternative energy sources, healthy eating, Native American rights and ecological legislation.
Do you remember Earth Awareness Festival? How did you participate? What will you be doing for Earth Day, April 22nd?
This and many other records are available for researchers through our online catalog, KenCat and in the Harrison-Baird Reading Room of the Kentucky Library & Museum Monday – Saturday, 9 – 4.

CHH Feb. 1929 Headline
Set to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, The Kentucky Building song composed by Mrs. H.R. Matthews during the fund raising campaign appeared in the March 1929 College Heights Herald.
Though we may wander from the Hill
In wider fields to roam
We’ll treasure o’er our college days
And call her portals “Home”
Chorus
Then may our hands and may our hearts
Be joined to build a great
Kentucky monument to save
The history of our state
The Indian lore and pioneer
Shall never pass away;
Our relics we shall now preserve
And in our state they’ll stay
Check out other College Heights Heralds in TopScholar. 1925-1929, Jan. 1930, 1961-1963, 1968-1969 are up. More coming soon.
