 Please Excuse Our Appearance!

The Library sustained water damage to several areas after an extended
period of heavy rainshowers.  Because of the damage a significant
amount of repair work must be done. The Library is still providing
reference and other services but is operating under handicapped
conditions. Vulnerable materials have been identified and will be moved
to safer areas within the Library. We apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause and hope that the Library users will  bear with us until the
repairs have been made and normal operations can resume.
 New Management Videos

 The Library has received six new management videotapes in VMS format.
 The new additions to the collection include:

      Communicate and Win.
      Getting Things Done.
      Humor is Not a Luxury.
       If You Really Want to Get Ahead.
      Team Building.
      Time Management: Ideas That Work.

 The videotapes are available on overnight loan. Contact Mary Siegert at
 382-5922 to borrow the videos and to obtain a copy of the complete list of
 videotapes.

                             QUESTION OF THE MONTH

QUESTION: What are some of the alternative fuels to gasoline and what are their
advantages and disadvantages?

ANSWER:  Electricity, solar energy and alcohol.

The primary advantage of both electricity and solar energy is their cleanliness. Neither one
pollutes the environment during use. Both, however, have major disadvantages.  Electricity
requires huge batteries that need recharging, cars have a limited range of approximately
100 miles between charging, and the electricity needed to recharge the batteries is
generally produced by coal-fueled plants that create pollution.  Solar energy, with the
technology currently available, is generally limited to daylight hours (solar energy can be
stored in a battery, but the power of such a battery is very limited) and low speeds.  Even
with the abundant sunshine available in the Australian outback, the winning car, in a recent
solar-powered-engines-only road race, won with an average speed of only 41.6 miles per
hour!

Alcohol, as a fuel, comes primarily in two forms, ethanol ("grain alcohol") and methanol
("wood alcohol"). It does not have any of the major drawbacks of either electricity or solar
energy. Methanol is the least expensive of the two, costing about 55 cents a gallon, half
the cost of ethanol. The fuel equivalency (energy produced) of methanol to gasoline is a
one to two ratio, i.e., two gallons of methanol are the fuel equivalent of one gallon of
gasoline.  This fuel equivalency should not be misleading in terms of power, however.
Methanol provides such excellent power output and efficiency that it is the only fuel used at
the Indianapolis 500 auto race, where it has been used for decades. This fact brings up
another advantage of methanol: when cars collide, it is far less likely to explode than
gasoline.

Methanol is also much less prone to evaporate, which means  it produces much less smog
because of lower fuel evaporation during refueling and when the engine is hot.  It can also
be produced from a broad range of abundant sources including natural gas, wood, and
even organic garbage.

 Methanol is not without its disadvantages. As Andrew Kupfer stated in a recent Fortune
article, "...the stuff has a tendency to eat through metal and turn engine oil to mayonnaise."

However, methanol alcohol may be an alternative fuel whose time is coming.  One major
car manufacturer, Ford Motor Co., has already put over 800 experimental methanol alcohol
powered vehicles on the  road, and has designed engine systems that are capable of
burning either alcohol or gasoline, or blends  of the two.
