Solar (Continued from Page 8A) "There are collectors on roofs, south windows, masonry floors and walls and attached greenhouses,” says Baker. John Meadows, of Threshold, a Group of Architects, P.C. (Profes sional Corporation), says there are two basic types of solar heat ing units, referred to as active and passive systems. An active system is one that in cludes “things that move around," such as storage tanks, pumps, and collectors. A passive system designs the home itself to be a collector through use of south windows, masonry floors and walls. ‘‘Clearly, a passive solar heat ing system doesn’t require any contributing costs,” says Mea dows. ‘‘Essentially it is some thing that can pay for itself.” According to Lorenzen, the costs for installment of a solar heating system for an average home would be close to $8,000 for an active system and $2,000 for a passive system. But the costs vary. Bill Berger son, of Chase Company, says the costs for solar heating a pool de pend on the solar panel surface, the water capacity, and the panel installation below the pool. The costs for solar heating a home are estimated in a similar fashion. Eugene Architect George McGinness says an average monthly savings through soiar heating will amount to 50 to 60 percent of a person's electricity bill. “In a five to six-year period, you can pay off an air system,’’ says McGinness. “A lot of people agree they get a great feeling of independence by doing it,” says Lorenzen. “It’s a great feeling of doing it for themselves; it makes them less dependent on some outside source that may break down in the future. But I would recommend it from an environmental stand point. It’s a conservation device,” he says. “I'm sure people don't think that their little bit is going to move along to help the nation, but it will,” McGinness says. “Sun is the ideal answer for try ing to meet heating needs, collect ing heat to produce heat,” Loren The EMU Cultural Forum Proudly Presents the EIGHTH ANNUAL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Thursday May 4 12:15 Runnin' Wild 12:45 Tom Maddron 1:30 Special Guest: Woody Harris 2:15 HEADLINER: Bryan Bowers 4:00 Na Ceoltoire 4:45 Kevin McGraw Friday May 5 11:30 Dennis Froelich 12:15 Prince Gabriel's Reet 1:00 Mugwart Revellers 1:45 X 2:30 Northern Broadcasters 3:15 Greg Fields 4:00 HEADLINER: Utah Phillips 5:00 Johnny McDonald 8:00 Bamdance in the EMU Ballroom Percy Hilo.

You know what to wear You have an unerring instinct about what's appropriate for what occasion And you're con fident that your clothes will look and feel fresh, even during your period. Because you rely on Tampax tampons. They're uniquely designed to expand in all three directions - length, breadth and width — which lessens the chance of leakage or bypass. And since they're worn internally, you're not concerned about bulges. Bulk. Or chafing. No wonder Tampax tampons are the overwhelming choice of women who know what to wear. Like you.
