FraternityNbegins Adopt-A-Highway
Delta Sigma Pi signs cleain-up contract with Dept of Transportation
By Sabrlna Kelley
StaffWrtter
Members of CSUFs Delta Sigma PI
Fraternity kicked oiTFrcsno's first Adopt-
A-Hlghway ceremony last Friday morn¬
ing.
This Is the first annual Great Ameri¬
can Trash-Off and we'vegot one group
committed for two years," said Rose
Wlllems, public affairs officer for Cal-
trans district six.
Delta Sigma Pi has signed a contract
with the Department of TransportaUon
in Fresno volunteering to pick up trash
for two years.
The area ihey have adopted is Freeway
41 from Bullard Avenue to Friant Road
since all segments adopted must be at
least two miles long, according to
Wlllems.
California's Adopt-A-Highway program
is a by-product of a plan that originated
in Texas, said Derjek Hill, a student
assistant for California's transportation
department
"Legislators in Texas came up with
this Idea to 'clean up America' and chal¬
lenged other states todo the same," said
Bill Binger, Caltrans deputy and district
director of maintenance.
The goal of Caltrans is to have at least
600 Adopt-A-Highway groups enlisted
by March 31, 1990 to participate in the
Great American Trash-Off. Twenty-four
states have joined the program and six¬
teen are in the process of Joining." he
The program is funded by the state's
litter control fund, and it Is a naUon -
wide project that centers on cleaning up
the slopes and off-ramps Of our high¬
ways.
Delta Sigma Pi will save taxpayers
dollars.
"It cost the city of Fresno $25,000
annually just to clean the litter on the
side of the road, and with the service
provided by the Delta Sigma Pi Frater¬
nity, we'll only have to pay fiw-the cost of
equipment," Binger said. ^—^
The city moves at least 240.000 tons
of trash per year and they usually have
to pay maintenance crews to clean the
highways, or Fresno city probaUoners
expend $25,000,000 annually to allow
offenders to clean the highways, said
Robert Scott, a maintenance crewman.
Brian Martin, president of the frater¬
nity, said that everyone was willing and
excited to help out
"A friend of the fraternity works for
Caltrans and suggested mat we partici¬
pate in the Adopt-A-Highway program.
Our alumni were just as excited as we
were about starting this," he said.' ,■
The men of Delta Sigma Pi started
picking up trash Saturday and will pick
up litter six times ayear for the next two
years. ~~\
