Kohlenberg Lyceum Series Brings Cultural Experiences to University Community 

Since the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series began in 1899 as a lecture course, its aim has been to broaden the cultural experience of students, faculty, staff and the community through speakers, music and drama. Each year a selection of performing arts and entertainment attractions are brought to campus which include concerts, professional dance troupes and guest lecturers. Over the years the Lyceum has featured a wide variety of excellent programs, such as Preservation Hall Dixieland Band, Vincent Price, St. Petersburg State Ice Ballet, Maya Angelou, Guthrie Theatre, Capt. Jim Lovell, Helen Thomas and the Saint Louis Symphony. 
     The Kohlenberg Lyceum Series season tries to provide a carefully balanced line-up of performers and lecturers to appeal to its wide and diversified audience. In addition, the tickets for Truman students, faculty and staff are free.
     The new season opens with a performance by Gus Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 24, in Baldwin Auditorium. Mark your calendars, tickets will be available one week prior to the performance in the Student Activities Board Office or in the Center for Student Involvement, both located in the Student Union Building lower level. Call 785.4016 for more information.

Did you know...

1. Saves approximately 17 trees.
2. Saves 4,100 kilowatt-hour energy. (That’s enough to power the average home for six months.)
3. Saves 7,000 gallons of water.
4. Keeps almost 60 pounds of air pollution effluents out of the air.
5. Is produced in a cleaner, less toxic process than non-recycled paper.
6. Eliminates 3 cubic yards of landfill material and reduces the need for more landfills.

Wondering what to do with your empty aluminum cans and used paper? Recycle them.
     Recycle bins are available to the University community in all buildings on campus. These bins help the Recycling Center with its goal to reduce solid waste quantities as much as possible.
     The University began its recycling program in October 2001 and purchased a cardboard baler to use in its center. The University recycles 1,000 pounds of cardboard each day with the baler. Cardboard material bins are located outside of most buildings.
     Truman’s Recycling Center is located in Building #4 in the Dulaney/Baldwin Complex at the south end of campus. 
     Students can volunteer to assist the Recycling Center at the center or in the residence halls.
     For more information about recycling at Truman or to volunteer, contact Howard Worcester, recycle coordinator, at 785.7672.
