Cities are growing, and people have to move about in them. How they do this can have a considerable effect on the development of the city itself. Many –perhaps most –of the inhabitants of a city own cars, and the temptation to use them is easy to understand. But often a private car is not the best way to get from here to there in a city; public transportation –buses, subways, streetcars, even helicopters for longer distance –is often the best way to move people. Yet too often even so simple a matter as intra-urban transportation resembles a jigsaw puzzle. Groups have grown up to handle different parts of the problem, with the results that these units may overlap, or do not cover the whole problem. The older geographical areas which they were established to serve are new sections within a larger unit, but the original group still exist while the transportation problems become more and more complicated, and increasingly in need of overall planning. Once again the program concludes with a plea to the citizen to learn more about the problems of urban transportation, and to help his community to resolve some of them.
Cities are growing at an explosive rate; more and more people come to cities to liv, to work, to raise their families where there are the greatest number of opportunities for jobs, education, and recreation. But these thousands of new inhabitants do not only increasethe population of the city; they also magnify the problems that any group of people face when they live together in large numbers. Where to live? How to move about? How to govern themselves and guide the development of the community in which they live? The first program of METROPLEX sets the stage for the others, explaining why people are attracted to the city, and what difficulties they and the community face when they move there. Photographs, film clips, diagrams, and sketches are used to good effect to make the picture clear.
Friction in the Old World led to war. The USA tried to maintain neutrality, but with each passing month the problems created became more and more thorny. Finally, the nation was drawn into the conflict. With amazing speed and efficiency the country mobilized. Its participation in World War I was the deciding factor in bringing victory to the Allies.

Gerould Kern, BA’71, is senior vice president and editor of the Chicago Tribune.
Since becoming editor in 2008, Kern has focused the Tribune and its website on local investigative reporting to expose political corruption, government mismanagement and consumer safety issues. This emphasis on “watchdog” reporting has helped drive political reform in Illinois, and has changed the way consumer health and safety are regulated.
In June 2011, Kern directed the expansion and redesign of the Chicago Tribune, adding 44 full pages of news to the paper each week. This expansion is unique among American newspapers. The news content of the printed edition of the Chicago Tribune is now greater than it was five years ago.
Under Kern’s editorship, the Chicago Tribune has won numerous national and state awards, including the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. During Kern’s tenure, the Tribune has been a Pulitzer finalist eight times, including the past two years in investigative reporting.
Kern joined the Tribune in 1991 after serving as managing editor and then executive editor of the Daily Herald, the Chicago region’s largest suburban newspaper and one of the fastest growing dailies in the United States at that time.
At the Tribune, he served in several roles, including associate managing editor for metro, deputy managing editor for features and associate editor. Under his direction as features editor, the Tribune won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1999.
In 2001, he became associate editor of the Tribune and later that year moved to Tribune Publishing following Tribune Co.’s acquisition of Times-Mirror Co. He was named vice president/editorial for Tribune Publishing in 2003.
In April, Kern was named Illinois Journalist of the Year by faculty at Northern Illinois University. Kern was lauded for his dedication to investigative reporting, his support of content sharing across Tribune newsrooms, and his pursuit of new initiatives that reflect innovation amid a challenging climate for the newspaper industry.
Because We Are follows the story of the African American Dance Company during their 50th season at their annual Kukusanya intensive workshop, a time of gathering together in community as the term kukusanya evokes. It also invites viewers into the world of the Dance Company, its members, and their practice of ubuntu, the essence of the Africanist
principle that “I am, because we are.”
Since I am because we are, this work cannot be completed without you. I ask that you allow yourself to be immersed: enjoy the film with all your being. I welcome you to learn how to view the art on screen from the perspective of the performers, and to learn alongside them. I invite you to sing along, repeat after them when asked, clap (on beat), follow the prompts in the film and within yourself to move your body out of your seat and to the beat of the drums... you are invited to share in community with us, to be free to enjoy a new sense of what community and art can be, as exhibited by the African American Dance Company.
The title, Kukusanya, is a self-synergy philosophy and kinesthetic art; in Swahili, it means both “assembling and assembler.” This film is a conversation with Ashley Hayes, a Ph.D. student at Indiana University Bloomington, dance performer, and cultural consultant making a film on the African American Dance Company (AADC) at their 50th anniversary at Indiana University Bloomington in 2024.

Among her books are Long Road South, about the Pan American highway, and Wildlands of the West, both published by National Geographic.
Farlow and her husband, National Geographic photographer Randy Olson, also produce images for national corporate and nonprofit clients including Audi, Toyota, the Ford Foundation, the Heinz Endowments and Habitat for Humanity.
Farlow has a master’s degree from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, Mo.

Indiana University. Department of Radio and Television
Summary:
The Indiana School of the Sky radio program of the Indiana University Department of Radio and Television began broadcasting educational radio programs in 1947 and continued through the early 1960s. The program reached schools throughout Indiana and nearby states and led to new course offerings at IU. Indiana University students performed in the radio programs originally intended for children ages 4-8 aired for 15 minutes during each school day. Eventually the popularity of the programs called for high school programming as well, and later adults also tuned into the programs. This collection contains recordings of these programs.

"Liberal democracies constrain power by imposing legal constraints on the exercise of power. Among developed democracies, the United States has one of the most extensive sets of checks and balances. When combined with the country's current polarization, this institutional setup often leads to what I have termed "vetocracy," in which there are so many veto points that even the simplest forms of collective action become impossible.
The US and other liberal democracies will face major challenges in the coming years in making difficult and costly decisions to both mitigate and adapt to climate change. Is there a way of reducing vetocracy without undermining basic principles of liberal democracy? We do not want to imitate China, which stands at the opposite end of the spectrum as a consolidated authoritarian state with virtually no checks on the power of the Communist Party. These lectures will look at institutional measures that democracies might adopt to improve decision-making and implementation."
