"Here is the first photographic report on the robot bomb since the censorship was lifted. In this nine-minute capsule of buzz-bomb terror, 'V-1' brings to the screen in 16 mm sound-on-film a subject which will arouse its audiences to a vivid realization of the terror that life in London must be under the robot. 'V-1' includes spectacular shots of the bombs being destroyed in mid-air by anti-aircraft fire and by fighter planes." "Scenes include: robot bomb attacks which killed or injured 26,000 persons by September 30, 1944 and destroyed or damaged a million houses.

Summary:
In 1950, the U.S. Customs seized various materials that Alfred Kinsey was trying to import from Europe, a circumstance that led to the federal court case “United States v. 31 Photographs etc.” Among these controversial objects were books, engravings, and photographs that were deemed “obscene” according to the legal standard of the time. In 1957, thanks to the support of the IU President Herman B. Wells and a group of lawyers involved in civil liberties activities, the Kinsey Institute won the case and was able to recover the books and artworks, which are now part of its library. The verdict of this trial greatly contributed to redefine the notion of “obscenity” in legal terms, by creating an exception for the purpose of study and research, and thus consolidating academic freedom. This interdisciplinary project, at the crossroads of literary and legal studies, will develop a digital collection of books and artworks that were seized by U.S. Customs and then apply to this corpus tools of text mining and analysis meant to identify patterns that lead to the accusation of obscenity.

The Indiana University Libraries, in partnership with Northwestern University Library, recently received a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to create an open source software system for academic libraries and archives to easily provide online access to video and audio collections. This project builds on IU's success in developing the open source Variations digital music library system and on Northwestern's long history of expertise in video digitization and delivery. The speakers will describe the project objectives and organization, explaining how the project ties in with such strategic IU initiatives as Empowering People, the IU Bloomington Media Preservation Initiative, and the Libraries' own strategic directions work. The expected product architecture will also be described, including how other open source community projects such as Fedora, Hydra, and Opencast Matterhorn are involved. Finally, some requirements for the system gleaned from user research will be described.

McRobbie-Gair Family Home Movies Collection: This home movie contains mainly footage of a large military parade in Melbourne, Australia. It is most likely of an ANZAC day parade. ANZAC day is one of the major public holidays in Australia and is held annually on April 25. It commemorates the first landings of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at Gallipoli, Turkey, on April 25, 1915. The year of this particular parade is not yet clear though it is probably in the early 40s. But the footage of the event is particularly important as it features shots of numerous senior Australian politicians and military officers, including former Australian Prime Ministers, William Hughes and John Curtin. There is additional footage of other military parades and school sporting events very typical of the time.

Video bio of Vern Kaspar, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2004;
Vern Kaspar owned, with his two sons, four radio stations and an online newspaper. He was the station’s CEO and senior political analyst. Born in 1922 in Sioux City, Iowa, Kaspar obtained his first FCC license at age 13 as an amateur radio operator, building and operating his own amateur radio station — the use of part of the radio frequency spectrum for recreation, non-commercial exchange of messages and emergency communication that is still used today. Back in the days before Teletype news was available, he would copy Morse code at 33 words per minute to obtain national and international news for local radio stations. After serving in the Navy in World War II and stints at Princeton and Columbia University, he became an executive for WOI-TV, the first TV station in Iowa. In 1953, he helped with TV coverage of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential campaign. In 1959, as a minority partner in a radio station in Nebraska, he decided he’d like to own one of his own. In addition to WILO-AM in Frankfort, Indiana, Kaspar Broadcasting owned WHSW-FM, and two Missouri stations: KWRE-AM and KFAV-FM. Kaspar died Jan. 5, 2018, in Rossville, Indiana. He was 95.

From the beginning, Vernon A. Williams, BA’73, wanted to be a writer.
Growing up in Gary, Indiana, he wrote his first play in the fourth grade, which was performed in class. In middle school, he started a weekly hand-printed newsletter on notebook paper. He pitched an unsolicited radio program as a high school freshman to a local station that put him on the air. Two years later, he wrote and hosted the first student broadcast over the school corporation radio station. As a junior, he started a teen news column for Gary Info Newspaper – where his biggest “scoop” was being first to report the Jackson Five signing with Motown Records.
Those youthful experiences inspired a career in broadcast and print media, as well as education, that spanned more than 55 years. Williams started at The (Gary) Post-Tribune as a reporter, columnist and editorial board member. He was morning drive personality for “The Breakfast Club” and hosted the call-in program “Sound Off” on WLTH, and was station manager for WGVE.
Among his most notable career interviews were Lena Horne, Dick Gregory, Colin Powell, Jesse Jackson and Phylicia Rashad.
In 2001, Williams moved to Indianapolis to become marketing supervisor for Indianapolis Public Schools Career-Technical Education. After IPS, he became vice president, communications, for Indiana Black Expo, where he developed marketing and communication strategies, prepared high-impact communication material, wrote speeches, developed leadership presentations and organized press conferences.
Williams left Expo to become assistant to the chancellor for communication at IUPUI before taking his current position as communication and community engagement strategist for the premier urban research campus. He is a leader of IUPUI’s Africana Repertory Theatre and executive director of OnyxFest — the first and only annual Indiana theater festival featuring works of Black playwrights.
Williams is a news analyst and commentator for the Chicago/Gary Crusader Newspaper. He is president of the Indianapolis Association of Black Journalists and is on the Board of Directors for Heartland Films. He is a former president of IU’s Neal-Marshall Alumni Club.
He has written four books, the latest being, “God Said Tell You.” He has written and produced 11 plays — the most recent, “A Noise in the Attic,” will premiere in November.
Williams earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from IU and a master’s in communication from Purdue University.
His myriad honors include the IU Alumni Association President’s Award, IU Groups Program Covered Bridge Award, Center for Leadership Development Community Leaders Award, 100 Black Men of Indianapolis Silver Anniversary Service Award, The National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa – Beta Mu Chapter Community Service Award, Hoosier State Press Association First Place in Newswriting and the Indianapolis Recorder Champions of Diversity Award.
Many projects and policies that could help with climate change stumble on too many decision points, places where ideas can be shot down. Francis Fukuyama discusses his idea of "vetocracy" in relation to climate.

"The biggest thing is the values that started with the Deinstitutionalization Project and went on through all of our projects about consumer advocacy, self-determination, empowerment to people with disabilities, language use... just totally different values about people with disabilities." Vicki (Victoria C.) Pappas arrived at the Developmental Training Center (D.T.C.) in Bloomington as a graduate student in 1974. The D.T.C. was the the original name of the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community (IIDC). Vicki retired as director of the IIDC's Center for Planning and Policy Studies the year prior to this 2013 interview.
