As stuff comes our way by phone, mail, feet, hands and mouth we make entries, abstracts, paragraphs. We emphasis enviornmental/energy related and communications kinds of information; and we are interested in the evolutionary possiblities of inter-displinary connections. Our geographic emphasis is the Pacific Northwest, though our prejudice will be Oregon, and more specifically Portland. You can correct our bias by your feedback, sending us information on projects, exciting books, pieces, newsletters, ideas, photos, corrections. (see also reader inquiry card), Positions and Situations (see this page) is a place for you locate others, more or less without our editorial intervention. If you are thinking about thinking about doing something here's the place to find next steps and connections. We have spent nearly as much time constructing our mailing list, as compiling the newsletter. It is presently com'posed of environmental educators, people doing energy related research, other newsletters, other centers, community organizers, gov-ernmental and private environmentally related groups and agencies. If you have other persons you think should receive RAIN drop us a note. Why you may not be entered: We don't know about you, you are lost in brown boxes and manila envelopes, or we ran out of time and space. You will notice initials following some entries: the person submitting the entry is found in the list of contributors. In addition to RAIN, during the year we expect to publish: 1) City Survival, a short directory (or series) to information resources in-- Portland, 2) A Directory of Environmental Information Resources in the Pacific Norlhwest, 3) H~ To Sheets, guides to getting things done, like how to find your way through governmental bureaucracies, 4) An Access Guide, to materials at EEC/Energy Center. Please mention RAIN when asking for information from individuals and groups; as it then encourages those people to keep us posted.

PAGE 6 OCTOBER, 1974 ( Eco NE~r REPOR~I'S J EEC A lot has happened in the last several months. The Environmental Education Center has been presented with both new resou~ces and opportunities. These events have suggested the necessity for a reorganization of both our people and our thinking about the "big picture" of environmental education in the tri-county area, the Pacific Northwest and the nation. PEOPLE Director of four. funded projects for FY 7lf-75 is Don Stotler. Environmental Education Center (Environmental Ed. Act) PSU fiscal agent, Laura Williamson, manager.

Enviornmental Communications Network (2nd of 3 yrs.) Hill family foundation. OMSI fiscal agent. Dean Ivy manager. ECO NET Because we feel that all four of these projects constitute a common thrust toward an environmentally concerned, literate, active, and aware future society, we are calling this common thrust Eco-net. PRIORITY OF CONCERU Although each one of the above projects has specific objectives all projects share general goals and areas of priority concern and action. These areas of common concern are: Centers EEC---remodelling and new rooms Action toward Bi-Centennial Three new employees (Randi Krogstad, Anita Helle, Steve Johnson) Energy Center (OMSI)--now underway Spokane Center--U.S Pavillion retained after EXPO? Cleveland High School--Eco-Aesthetics Center? Hillsboro Public Schools-~ community center? Information Exchange Bend In The River and Syncon conferences NW Video Network SHARE-- _computerized Eco-exchange RAIN--new eco-net newsletter Slide show with audio tape on centers Data Gathering by Students Noise and water quality proposal Boise ECO NET Meeting 15 people from 15 northwest region environmental education groups and projects met to suggest information sharing methods and ideas which would enhance individual pr-ojects. Ini'tial focus areas included~-media access information, access to computer services and assistance; access to technical and legal environmental information on a crisis basis. Lots of other topics were touched on. _The group asks you to brainstorm on your own and with co-workers and friends on information needs, information sharing projects, techniques and the NW environment. For regional Eco-net brainstorm group minutes, for more information, contact Dean Ivy, OMSI, 4015 SW Canyon rd. Portland, Or. 97221. 224-9500. ECO NET Video One of the components of the ECO NET project is a video access facility where you can learn to use portable, 1/2 " television equipment. The video staff, Bob Phillips and Charles Auch, are located at OHSI and can be reached hy phoning 224-9500. The video equipmen~ three portable camera/recorders and an editing system, serves as a means for anyone to document environmental ideas and problems. Tapes in the ECO NET files can be seen at the EEC or OMSI. In addition, Bob and Charles are cataloging tapes produced elsewhere in the Northwest with the assistance of Jack Eyerly (of Experiments in Art and Technology) and Carole Smith. The catalog process involves a printed format for information about individual tapes, along with the conditions for access and the names/addresses of producers. If you have tapes and would like to have them included in the catalog, write to F.CO NET Video, 7 OHSI, 4015 SW Canyon Rd., Portland, Or. 97221. The catalog forms should be returned to OMSI, where they will be reproduced, The catalog will consist of the combined entries of all contributors and will be distributed to everyone who participates in it. Additional copies will be available through access points throughout the Northwest, or by writing ECO NET Video and including a check, to cover whatever costs of reproduction we have. Examples of video projects:during the summer include equipment assistance to the Creative Outlet's project, "Neighborhoods in Transition", which is compiling images/ history of Portland's Buclanan neighborhood. The Buckman neighborhood is in the urban core of Portland and has many of the problems of crime, absentee landlords, industrial encroachment, and transient populations associated with that location. Tapes from this project can be seen at the Creative Outlet, 201 SE 12th, phone 233-3654; talk with the Director, Ed Lyle, for further details. Tom Taylor, of PSU's Center for the Moving Image, has worked on his project, "Cannon Beach, a Community Conversation", spending most of his time with the people of Cannon Beach, sharing the ideas that innividuals have of their town. Tom comes back to OMSI to edit and condense these statements. He then returns and plays the edited tape for each of the participants. The conversations Tom has with his neighbors are part of a feedback process; everyone has the right to delete or change their statements. After the edited. tape is shown to individuals, Tom plays it for the community at large. These edited tapes then provide the impetus for further discussions. (See also Audio-Visual) Energy Center My main task so far has been creating an Energy Information File. This has turned out to be a much more involved undertaking than I think anybody had originally thought ·it would be. Especially since the information is nationwide and with Canada and some foreign resources included. Thus far, I have gleaned information from several lists and sources, i.e. directories, guides, etc., to compile a random list. From
OCTOBER, 1974 this list, I have done one bulk mailing which was in the form of a cover letter and a very short form asking for names of individuals, affiliations, and contact persons in said affiliations. The response to this mailing which was about 200 plus has been excellent. So far I have received 75 responses in 2 weeks. Out of this I will compile a list of names to which the Energy Questionnaire will be sent. This is a more detailed form and will give me the exact information I need for the Rolodex Card File. The Rolodex Carel File "Yrill eventually be placed in the Energy Center in an information exhibit. If you would like more information on the Energy Information File, or would like to receive the Alternative Energy Information Sheets and the Solar Energy Collection Abstract, Wind-Powered Electricity Generation Abstract, Methane Gas Generation Abstract, etc. please call Marcia Lynch, 224-9500 x 72. (Marcia ~ynch) Lee Johnson has begun to receive commercially-manufactured solar collector panels for display in the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry Energy Exhibit Wing designed by Architect Explorer Post sponsored by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. So far, Olin Corp., Tranter and Fafco have accepted the invitation to participate in the exhibit, which will be seen by OMSI's 1 million annual visitors. PPG Industries, Reynolds Metals, Energex, AAI, Intertechnology, Sunworks, Solar Systems, Mirromit-Daylin Corp., and Beasley of Australia have not yet responded. A Spring 1975 conference of Oregon architects, developers and building systems engineers is contemplated as an opening for the Solar Energy Exhibit (L. J.) L·ee' s testimony "Wind and Nuclear Fission Electri~ city: A Cost-Benefit Compariso~' was well received by Mr. Jack Robertson, Region X Federal Energy Administration coordinator and the other panel memT)ers, as was his description of the OMSI Energy Center as classes, workshops, conferences and an information center with displays. Copies of the statement are available for $1 from Marcia Lynch, OMSI Energy Center. (L.J.) Graham Hubenthal and Lee Johnson visited Tom Bender and Laura deMond in Salem on their way back from returning the U of 0 microfilm machine. Nancy Carpenter and Sam Sadler are now beginning "mini'studies" using net energy to look at the things Oregonians are now doing or likely to do as we move toward recession, greater labor use, in a net energy declining society. PAGE 7 Laura is working on a LIVING LIGHTLY IN OREGON catalog, a cross between the Whole Earth Catalog and Chinook Centrex with the emphasis on what Oregonians can do and what the net energy concepts suggest about what they should do. Tom recommended that we subscribe to APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY, a newsletter published by E.F. Schumacher's Intermediate Technology Development Group, Parnell House, 25 Wilton Rd., London SWlv lJS, UK. Airmail outside England is $8.50. Tom also suggested that we read Ivan Illich's ENERGY AND EQUITY and TOOLS FOR CONVIVIALITY. (L.J.) SHARE 1 Share is presently a fantasy, designed to be part of OMSI's unified data base project (UDB-1 by name). Rusty Whitney, Barry Smith and others are experimenting with a computer program devised to enable people to get in touch with one another. The program is similar in ways to others around the country such as Resource One's "Community Memory" and People to People Indexes such as Evergreen State College's (Washington), the Couzens Computerized Learning Exchange (Ann Arbor, Mi.) and Bend in the River (Eugene). What does Share give members? Information from other members---Other SHARr members will contact you accorning to the interests which you have specified in your registration. Directories & Mailing Lists---Members can use a computer terminal to create telephone and address lists of SHARE members with specific keywords or zip codes. For instance, an editor of a club newsletter could maintain her mailing list by sending SHARF. registrations to her membership urging them to include the club name among their keywords. There are many other uses. Bulletin Board---Members may use a SHARE computer terminal to place a short notice on the SHARE Bulletin Board. Hembers may also list the Bulletin Board to get recent notices or only those with selected keywords. SHARE Essays---From a few words to a couple pages1 SHARE Essays deal with different topics of interest to members including ways to use SHARE better, thoughts on current environmental ann educational projects, privacy, etc. For more information call Steve Johnson, 229-4692.

PAGE 10 EDUCATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 KNOWLEDGE FOR USE PROJECT. Phil Pennington. 244-9122. A new, alternative way to learn. It's designed to help people find and learn things they need and might otherwise miss, things too difficult to learn from the library and too buried in· courses in formal education. It is designed to help people help themselves learn. The project organizes knowledge and learning about the simple fact that people interact with their surroundings. The idea is to fuse the academic disciplines into some kind of integrated whole and then relate it to the individual as much as possible, The project will be a source of a variety of materials, including reference guides and aids to understanding reading that is otherwise a little too difficult. It will develop some learning units suitable for reference use or for classroom use. The Knowledge for Use Project is planning three whorkshop series, one to start immediately. Energy and the Individual (starts la-s_t __ ~k of Sept.; time arranged to suit participants); Science and Per·- ception For The Artist (starts in Oct. ); and Humans, Systems, And Knowledge '(to be arranged).

PAGE 12 THERE IS A LOT OF MAPPING going on in Oregon and Washington, by federal, state, county, city and regional governments,and by private agencies, but unfortunately there is a long way to go before complete adequacy is in sight. The four most important federal mappers are the Coast and Geodetic Survey,the Geological Survey, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. The first, with its coastal charts and its nets of mathmatical triangulations, underlies all the others.The Geological Survey is responsible for two current series of maps, both incomplete, and some superseded series too, also incomplete; futhermore its maps are the underpinning of the famous Army MapService mapping, the series which for the first time in history, was pushed through to completion for every acre of American soil. The Army series (issued also in a civilian version, handled by the Geological Survey) while admirable in many ways, must be given low marks in certain fields, notably legibility. Why two versions, a military and a civilian? I've seen them both; the difference seems to consist in just one feature: the grid or land net. The military version displays the ten-kilometer military grid, an entirely fictitious grid resembling (but not identical with) latitude and longitude. The civilian version displays the net of townships, a real, not fictitious, grid, inasmuch as it is actually marked out by \vitness trees, stakes, and landmarks. Many would like to own at least one of the famous moulded plastic relief maps which have been made by an Eastern firm on the basis of the military version of the Army series. ':':hey1 re now available throu~h retailers, after a long period of limited distribution through a military map office only. Captain's, a map shop which just opened in downtown Portland, sells them at around $10 each. The flat paper version hovers around $1 or a little more. These Army maps are almost too stingy in their scale to be of great use to the walker, bicyclist, or leisurely motorist. They are at the scale of 1:250,000, yielding a mile which is only 1/4 of an US Geological Survey Map Information Office Washington, DC 20242 Ask for all indexes to maps.

The one big advantage of this series is that it is complete--has no gaps--a point not to be sneezed at if you have had the common experience of finding that your favorite series has a hole just where you were depending on it to help you, The Geological Survey also hanciles its own two series, called the "mile per inch" and the "2000footer." The first has a scale of 1:62,500, which yields a mile so close to an inch in length that the difference is negligible. This series is printed in sheets about 17x21 inches in size, each covering a quadrangle 15 minutes of latitude and longitude on its sides. The oblong measures about 12xl7 miles in area. Each oblong bears the name of some town, mountain, or lake within it. Local retailers ask about $1 per sheet; if you're in no hurry you can send off to Geological Survey, Federal Center, Denver for their index or key maps and their price lists, generally about 75 cents per sheet. The series has extensive and disgracful gaps. Nearly all Western Oregon is covered, and about a third of Eastern Oregon. A more generous scale, 2000 feet per inch, characterizes the other Geological Survey series. Like the mile-per-inch, it shows land forms by means of b·rown lines called contours. On the who],.e, it is this series that the Geological Survey is pushing nowadays, while the other series marks time. The mappers are going great guns through the wide-open spaces of Eastern Or~ egon right now, and, after having just revised the Puget Sound and Willamette Valley coverage at this scale, are heading west through the Coast Range. This is the series to get, if you can afford it. Prices are the same as for the other series, around $1 per sheet. But where a given area will be covered by only one or two sheets in the mile-per-inch series, it will require four to eight sheets for the same area in the 2000-footer series. The oblongs are about G x 9 miles, or 16 x 23 inches, in area, and the latitudelongitude quadrangle is 7 1/2 minutes on a side.
