Rebuild Colorado - Success Story - Water Conservation Inside and Out atColorado State University
Raw water for irrigation comes from College Lake on Colorado State's Foothills Campus through a pipeline directly to the main campus. The system has been continually expanded over the last 15 years to its current capability of watering 220 acres of grass and landscape. Last year the pipeline was extended to the old Fort Collins High School, now part of Colorado State's central campus, the university's research center west of town and the campus's arboretum. ... As part of an ongoing multi-decade effort to increase efficient water use on campus, Colorado State University uses approximately 95 percent untreated water for irrigation, utilizes an advanced computerized sprinkling system to eliminate unnecessary watering and is taking proactive measures to reduce water use in dorms and other facilities. In response to current statewide drought conditions, in 2002 campus watering had also been reduced to about 50 percent of normal. ... [Read More]

United States. Works Progress Administration. Work Pays America : WPA in Pictures . Washington: Government Printing Office, nd. Colorado State University Library. ... The Work(s) Progress Administration was created byPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 6, 1935, as a reaction to the Great Depression, toprovide relief work for unemployed persons through public work projects. The WPAprovided jobs to unemployed workers on public projects sponsored by federal, state, orlocal agencies; and on defense and war-related projects. Between 1935 and 1943 the WPAprovided almost 8 million jobs at a cost of 11 billion dollars, and created a legacy ofpublic welfare that has become monumentalized through their still used buildings, roads,dams, schools, indexes, oral histories, and art.

The Colorado State Archives is proud to house a largecollection of photographic prints and nitrate negatives documenting the WPA's work in theCity & County of Denver.

Clarence Morley
Included in this series is incoming correspondence with Governor Morley from hisconstituents, state agencies, and other public officials. There is importantcorrespondence concerning pending legislation, civil service, Prohibition, and the 50thAnniversary of Colorado's statehood. Noteworthy correspondents include KKK member and U.S.Senator Rice W. Means, Benjamin F. Stapleton, and University of Colorado officials withwhom Morley fought for political control. ... Morley’s administration was exemplified, however, by a growing dichotomy in theRepublican Party. There was also considerable opposition from a small group of democrats,led by future governor Billy Adams, that successfully killed almost all Klan sponsoredlegislation in committee. In 101 days 1,080 bills were introduced under the statehousedome. Of those bills, only fifteen percent made it as far as the governor’s pen andonly three of those were originally sponsored by Morley. Despite his apparent lack oflegislative success, Morley was responsible for ratifying the Colorado River Compact,strengthening prohibition laws, developing a successful inmate labor program, andpromoting legislation that allowed the state to carry its own insurance on its publicbuildings. Thus, while Morley was an active Klansman, his legislative successes had littleto do with his special interest group affiliations. His connections to the Klan alsofailed to make him popular with many Colorado citizens wh ... [Read More]
