"Step-by-step manufacture and assembly of the B-26 medium bomber in the Glenn Martin plant at Baltimore."--War Films, Bulletin of the Extension Division, Indiana University, February, 1943.
"Short fictional film asking people to keep under cover during air raids. A group of English and Canadian fighter pilots report the number of German planes they have each shot down. The rivalry between the British and Canadian pilots is intense and later in the pilot's hut one of the English pilots is asked why he did not "kill" a German plane when he had the chance. He replies that the problem was "Goofer trouble". "Goofers" are seen leaving a shelter to watch a dog fight. Because these "Goofers" were in the street the pilot could not open fire without running the risk of hitting them."--British Film Institute website.

United States. Department of Agriculture. Soil Conservation Service
Summary:
Presents problems of soil conservation and overgrazing in the western U.S. Narration states "the problem of saving the grasslands is before us," showing that careless management has resulted in the depletion of this vital natural resource. "This range, once capable of supporting 22,000,000 animal units, can now carry only half that number. Overstocking results in over-grazing. When the land is stripped of vegetation, erosion begins. How to prevent over-grazing, and restore areas of desolation to productivity is the problem presented in this film. Interesting photography of sheep and cattle on the range" (Motion Pictures of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1945, 42).

United States. Department of Agriculture. Forest Service
Summary:
Shows the necessity for U.S. Federal regulation of the nation's timber to insure protection and perpetuation of this vital resource. Shows that poor management practices for quick exploitation of privately owned forest lands have negative consequences for all citizens. "Private forest lands supply nearly 95 percent of all our forest products and the way they are managed is of daily importance to millions of individual Americans. Assured protection and proper management of our forests is a federal as well as a State responsibility because dependence on forests is interstate and national. This picture shows what can be done to stop destructive cutting practices, to restore and maintain a thrifty growing stock of valuable trees, and to safeguard forest production for the years ahead" (Motion Pictures of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1945, 24).

This program, part of "The Newborn" series, discusses seizures and the importance of understanding them. Subleties which complicate diagnosis are described and recognition of various types is explained. Major etiologies are covered; evaluation priorities are specified; work-up is outlined; and therapy techniques are suggested. Although seizures are not common among newborns, it is important to be aware that characteristics of seizures are vastly different in the newborn than among adults. Apnea, tremors, eye-blinking, or facial twitching all can be signs of a seizure in the newborn. Since seizures in the newborn can be subtle, the presenter provides ways to differentiate between seizure activity and normal activity. Most importantly, the presenter adds that finding the cause of the seizure is more important than rushing to treatment. The video also includes an overview of different drugs and their side effects, including withdrawal.
This program, part of "The Newborn" series, is an overview of bacterial sepsis and features Richard L. Schreiner, MD. Pathogenesis, causation, indications, laboratory tests, therapy, complications, and statistics are covered. This presents accurate, standard information and displays good technical quality.

Marilyn R. Schultz was a pioneer in broadcast journalism, dedicating herself to the fight for women's rights in the industry and, later, to educating future journalists as a college professor.
Schultz, who died in 2010, earned three IU degrees: a bachelor's in radio and television in 1967, a master's in telecommunications in 1990 and a doctorate in mass communication in 1993.
She began her career at NBC News in New York City, where she worked for nine years. Affectionately referring to her by her nickname, "Schultzie," former "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw recalled Schultz's impact on women in journalism in a traditionally male-dominated environment.
"First there was the name — "Schultzie," Brokaw said at the time of Schultz's death. "If that didn't get your attention, her attitude did. Schultzie worked in the newsroom when it was an all-white-male den of machismo, cigar, pipe and cigarette smoke, bawdy manners and profane speech. What everyone quickly learned is that Schultzie didn't need any of those props to hold her own.
"Now our newsrooms are fully integrated, but the first steps so long ago were Schultzie's — and she wasn't tiptoeing then or any time since."
Schultz took on the role of lead plaintiff and spokesperson for a class-action lawsuit representing 700 women against NBC. The suit, which lasted seven years, aimed to bring equal pay and opportunity to women at the company. As a result, more than 1,000 women received back pay, and women gained access to jobs previously unavailable to them.
The Washington Press Club Foundation would later name Schultz one of its 16 "American Women Who Changed the Face of Journalism (1965-1995)."
"It didn't take long to discover that she didn't just talk about changing the culture of NBC News, she acted to bring change about," said Wallace Westfeldt, Schultz's former boss and then-executive producer of NBC News, in 2010.
Schultz moved to Washington, D.C., to work as an on-air reporter for affiliate WRC-TV. There, she covered events such as the 1972 election, the Apollo 12 launch and Watergate.
In 1984, she moved to Indianapolis to work as a producer for NBC affiliate WTHR-TV. There, she covered the Mike Tyson trial and the Ryan White case, among other stories.
In the late '80s, Schultz returned to IU to pursue her master's, and later her doctorate. She accepted her first teaching position at the University of Texas at Austin, where she taught for nine years as an assistant professor and then broadcast journalism head.
From there, she took a position at St. Edward's University in Austin, where she continued to educate students for eight years until the time of her death.
The university established the Marilyn Schultz Memorial Scholarship for students studying media arts.
"Marilyn once said that 'teaching is the most important work I've ever done,' which was obvious from her interactions with her students," said Father Lou Brusatti, then-dean of the School of Humanities at St. Edward's University, in Schultz's obituary. "She was a motivation and inspiration for her students and colleagues."
SPSS is a common data analysis program for work in Social Sciences. It offers a point of access for data cleaning, description, and analyses in a user-friendly manner. Different from programs like R that require coding, SPSS provides a “point and click” interface that allows you to use the program intuitively. Behind the scenes of this “point and click” interface, though, SPSS can provide, generate and execute code FOR YOU, making it an accessible option for researchers aiming to improve transparency and replicability of their analyses. SPSS is a powerful and approachable tool for anyone looking to view, describe, clean, edit, or analyze data with simple to complex statistical analyses.
The goal of this workshop is to provide an accessible, applied, and practical understanding of how to use SPSS. The workshop will begin with a description of the software including a detailed map of how to interact with the software, how to view previously collected data, how to subsect data and create composite variables, and how to create both descriptive visuals of data. We will cover how to execute and interpret various statistical analyses (e.g. ANOVAs, correlations, and regressions). The workshop will include both the point and click method of interacting with SPSS as well as cover how to generate and work with syntax (i.e. SPSS code). Though not required, to make the most of your attendance, arrive with the SPSS software (provided for free for IU faculty, students, and staff) already downloaded.
Fifteen million families’ move each year – and three-fourths of them merely change addresses within the same county. They move because they want a better place to live; they need not only houses or shops or schools but also police, fire protection, sanitation, and many other services that can only be provided by a community. And there are more and more people moving – more and more homes built on what is, after all, only a limited amount of land. This land must be used wisely: a planning engineer, similar to ones called in by communities across the country, describes the problems that a community must deal with when its population increases five-fold in a few years, and mentions some of the steps that are taken to provide for future planning and development. Most important are the procedures taken to stop and reverse the tendency for some areas to turn into slums; the program concludes with a short outline of Federal plans for urban redevelopment, and a plea to the viewer to take more active interest in his city.
