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. We apolgize to those who may have had difficulty reaching us during construction time at Portland Stat~.
