As.stuff comes our way by phone, mail, feet, hands and mouth we make entries, abstracts, paragraphs. We emphasize environmental/energy related and communications kinds of information; and we are interested in the evolutionary possibilities of inter-disciplinary 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. Positions and Situations is a place for you to 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 composed of environmental educators, people doing energy related research, other newsletters, other centers, community organizers, governmental 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 ofEnvironmental Information Resources in the Pacific Northwest, 3) How 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. (S.J.) 1975 RAIN Catalog We need an in ex and update to RAIN, so we decided we will cut up old RAINs. We will send out entries, addresses, etc., and ask people to update/correct the information, and to tell us what key words they want. We have long thought we would like to know our readers, so we will print up a reader enquiry card, and hope you will fill it out. Then we've got other compilations: the "Rough Drafts," the Energy Center Bibliographies, an Urban Agriculture Directory, a N.W. Media Guide-so of course, why not do it all under one cover. It can also be an update to Chinook Centrex, but more regional and national. The basic component will be a compilation of RAIN entries, indexed. Beyond that, it's up to you and us. Send us information about yourselves, or others, or needs, or books. People sending in information we use will receive a free copy (unless it's just information about their own project). · The catalog could provide more in-depth information, lots of How to Survive, and ... We expect to send out cut-up RAINs by February; the catalog will be published like in April. But we are waiting for your feedback.
