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).

MICROFILMING. While Lee Johnson and Graham Hubenthal had a rotary microfilm camera on loan from the University of Oregon, the following items were recorded for use on microfiche cards: Solar Energy Thermal Processes, Low Temperature Engineering Applications of Solar Energy, The Problem Is, Stop the Five Gallon Flush; WindElectric Heating Systems, Steve Coffel's ASE Product List; Energy Index to Dubin-Mindell.:.Bloome NYC architectural firm files, Living Lightly, The Production of Methane From Manure, Photosynthetic Reclamation, Solar Energy as a National Resource, Report on Existing Building Systems, The Alodex Installation and Operation Manual, The Ecological Home System Concept, Build Your Own Ecosystem, Life Support Requirements For Space Missions, The Graham Caine Eco-House, The Day Chahroudi Biosphere; The Integrated Household Water-Waste System by Grurnan Aircraft corp., An Algal Regenerative System for Single Family Farms, Water Recycling, AIA Energy and the Built Environment: .A Gap in Current Strategies, and New Communities for an EnergyShort Planet. Lee and Graham are presently circulating a proposal to continnue and expand their microfilming work.

Harper & Row. 1973 There should be no place for machines that concentrate power in a few hands and turn the masses into mere machine minders. Not surprisingly, therefore, if if economic thinking pervades the whole of society, even simple non-economic values like beauty, health or cleanliness can survive only if they prove to be economic. Give a man a fish, and you are helping him a little bit for a very short while, teach him the art of fishing and he can help hirp.self all his life. Just imagine you could establish an ideology which would make it obligatory for every able bodied person in I.ndia, to do that little thing -- to plant a tree a year, five years running, This in a 5 year period would give you 2, 000 million established trees. Ten cows burp enough gas in a year to provide for all the space heating, water heating and cooling requirements for a small house. (WTOP Radio, Washington, DC) Dana C.
