The Solar Energy Center helps to close the gap between
research and application, says director David Neagley.
Solar
Center
By Melissa Martin
Of the Emerald
The Solar Energy Center on
campus doesn't want students
and Eugene residents to be in the
dark about new technology in the
field.
The center “cuts on lag time"
between current research and its
practical use in the community,
says director David Neagley.
Neagley says the center's loca
tion inside dilapidated Emerald
Hall is not an indication of the
center’s emphasis on new
technology. The center is giving
its audience information they
want — what the public will see in
solar energy developments in the
next five years.
"The center provides informa
tion to the public and the Univer
sity community," says Neagley, an
architecture graduate student.
To reach the public, the center
has been sponsoring free solar
energy seminars for the last 10
years and Neagley says feedback
sheets collected after last year's
seminar have been "overwhelm
ingly positive. People are learning
what we are doing."
Last year more than 800 people
attended the seminars and
Neagley says he expects a greater
turnout this fall.
The first seminar this year,
scheduled for Oct. 13, will feature
a new type of domestic solar
water heater invented by Eugene
entrepreneur Eldon Haynes.
The Solar Energy Center's big
event of the year is the Oregon
and Washington regional con
ference, "Solar '83: Putting the
Sun to Work," Oct. 14-15 at the
Eugene Conference Center.
In addition, a products show
will take place featuring a range of
local energy products available
such as solar water heaters, green
houses, insulated window cover
ings, heat pumps and
photovoltaics information.
The Solar Energy Center's se
cond seminar scheduled for
November will deal with indoor
air pollution and the recent Bon
neville Power weatherization
program.
In a December seminar, Eugene
inventor Norman Waterburv will
discuss a new underground low
cost housing system constructed
out of heat efficient domes that
creates stabilized temperatures
throughout the year.
Waterbury lives in a solar house
he constructed himself in West
Eugene.
The Eugene Water and Electric
Board and the Willamette Valley
Solar Energy Association help
sponsor the seminars.
EWEB provides funds for and
uses the research data from the
Solar Radiation Monitory Lab —
the Solar Energy Center's informa
tion gathering aspect directed by
David McDaniels, a University
physics professor.
Neagley says he wants the
research information from the
Solar Energy Center and the Solar
Radiation Lab to be channeled to

In this course we will focus on 4 British authors:
C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, and
George MacDonald. The format will be to read both
fiction and nonfiction from each author with the specific
purpose of examining how they incorporate their
theology into their fiction. Requirements: two papers and
a final exam. Texts include: Mere Christianity, Out of the
Silent Planet, Perelandra, Lewis; Orthodoxy, The Man
Who Was Thursday, Chesterton; essays from The
Whimsical Christian, Strong Poison, Sayers; and essays
from Life Essential, The Wise Woman, MacDonald. This
course meets Elective requirements, not Arts and Letters
requirements.
