Earth Week activities on Tues¬ day drew about 350 CSUF stu¬ dents to the Earth Week T-shirt Tie-dye Fest in the free speech area, where students painted T- shirts scrunched with rubber
"It's fun and at $5 a T-shirt it's really cheap,* said Nicole Ham¬ ming, a microbiology major.
She said that the tie-dying brought more awareness to Earth Week events.
Adrienne McGraw, president of the Ecology Society, said she wanted to educate students about environmental issues. McGraw said she became involved in Earth Week because she felt at least she was doing something and "not just sitting around."
A speaker from the Cousteau Society explored the threats to the global oceans Tuesday evening with special emphasis on the consequences to Antarctic de¬ struction.
Peter Burtchell, a marine bi¬ ologist who has worked for
Cousteau for threayears, said only three percent of theworld 's water is fresh and of thai three percent, 70 percent is locked in the ice sheets of Antarctica.
Thirty-eight countries are trying to establish mineral rights in Antarctica, Burtchell said.
The exploration and exploi¬ tation of mineral resources would be impossible to clean up," B urt - chell said. Tampering with Ant¬ arctica could produce global warming and a rise in sea levels.
Indirectly, said Burtchell, what is dumped into waterways at home find sits way into the oceans and eventually mixes in the South Polar ocean.
"In time our everyday house¬ hold cleaners will find themselves in the Antarctic waters," Burtch¬ ell said.
In celebration of Earth Day on Wednesday, about 25 booths representing various environ¬ mental organizations set up dis¬ plays. People walked around, browsed and asked questions.

Beaumont, a CSUF student from a CSUF eco-feminism class, read poetry from "Earth Prayers." Women have traditionally had a relationship with nature, Beaumont said.
"There is a relationship be¬ tween the exploitation of earth and the exploitation of women," Beaumont added.'
Lea Mitchem from theS.P.CA. was concerned about the over¬ abundance of animals and that these animals had to be put to sleep or euthanized with ashotof sodium phenobarbi tal.
Ifs a humane way to kill them, she said, but Mitchem said she hatesit.
"I reel bad even if we have to
euthanize one animal," Mitchem said. "Peoplebring their mistakes to us. They say *V% only a week old kitten, you could put it to sleep.'"
Dave Roberts, a local attorney representing the San Joaquin River Oymmittee, which is a political * arm of the San Joaquin River Proj¬ ects, said he wants to preserve the river bottom.
"I saw a bumpersrJcker that said, Think globally—act lo¬ cally/" Roberts said. This was
something wherel thought I could make a difference."
Dr. Robert MerriU, CSUF geol¬ ogy professor, walked around the various environmental booths.
"We were concernedabout the environment long beforecarth Day," Merrill said. "We're cer¬ tainly damaging the geological part of earth."
Ninety percent of geology graduates are employed by com¬ panies dealing with environ¬ mental issues.
Earth Week 1992 was spon¬ sored by University Student Union Productions and the CSUF Ecology Society.
