Transcription
for that is hello everybody I'm skip Alzheimer welcome to the avgeeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 mm films and think about them uh in this case the film we watched was from the Mogul Brothers collection via uh the orgon archive and it was Chesapeake Bay and thank you thank you Rick k for giving us an update on all the things that you saw uh as that you you live in that area uh it's uh kind of interesting to look at uh footage from the late 20s early 30s um basically 100 years ago is and kind of see what survived what didn't um cuz lots of things are changing have changed uh there were two world wars and uh so one world war simset footage was shot World War World War World War um also thanks Rick k for uh he is one of the people that uh keeps an eye on comments and if someone's obviously a spammer or a troll uh he tries to keep it um keep them at Bay um which is a thankless job so so thank you uh for that uh let's learn about um a horrible epidemic that claimed many uh doll lives this is Gan and her dolls enjoy hiding from his sister Jean you want Jean to see him Jean doesn't see him she is busy with her doll clothes she leaves them to dry in the sun Jean tells Nancy Jane her be good Jean is all dressed up for She is expecting a visitor Betty her friend very soon she must get ready but here is Frank again why is he running oh he sees bet coming Betty and her doll beatric jean welcomes her friend Betty She Thinks beatric Betty's doll would like to play with Nancy Jane but who is this running behind the tree why it's Frank again why is he listening so closely he hears Betty say beatric burned her finger yesterday I have been worried about my dolly too says Jean do you see any red spots on her I think she's getting measles measles red spot says Frank that gives me an idea oh but look Nancy Jane is Sleepy it's time for her nap Jean said but first she must have her milk beatric is sleepy too a bottle of milk for beatric a bottle of milk for Nancy Jane and so to afternoon nap in the warm sunshine Nancy and beatric side by side tuck safely in bed for a nice long afternoon nap and lunch together do you take cream in your tea asked Jean oh

where is he going he is over by the doll why is he smiling to himself what does he have he has a box of crayons he takes out the red crayon now what is he doing oh look look he is making red marks on Nancy Jane's face jean look look at what Frank is doing but jean doesn't see him red marks the measles Frank has given Nancy Jane the measles look Jean before Frank goes away but jean doesn't see him poor Nancy Jane she really has the measles now but when will Jean see what Frank has done will Jean see now look jean look at Dolly's face and she does Nancy Jane what has happened to you you really

minute there Jean is all finished what do she have it's a sign laughs and Frank joins in um yeah that film was all sorts of uh problems uh the title fell off um the ending fell off it was all spcy uh and it's beautiful Cod Chrome and so what I've noticed is codak Chrome can sometimes get brittle and I'm sure this film got showed a lot so it would each time it got shown a little piece would fall off and they would repair it I don't know if if you noticed at the beginning there was just this generic Gene in her dolls against burlap so somebody at the in the film Library this is from Buffalo Public Schools they were like well this film gets used a lot so I need to salvage it and they just shot you know a little title footage Gina and her dolls um so there you go all right so the next thing we got set up is behind me on the uh scanner this is called pling good music um and I haven't watched it but I'm I feel like playing good music not like that music that you listen to uh on the radio or in the Jukebox um here it is playing good music stream quartet enjoy [Music] you listening to the Fine Arts quartet play a Schubert skaro incidentally a skaro actually means a playful movement or musical joke the four musicians in this quartet play well together they are a good team let's see what it takes to Be an Effective member of this kind of a team these are the main points to watch for first the techniques used in playing the individual instruments second some of the ways the composer combines the voices of the four instruments to express his musical ideas and third how each member of this quartet team while playing his own part is constantly aware of the other three parts this film will not only demonstrate techniques but will help you enjoy music more let's take a look at the individual instruments and how each is played each is played with a bow let's see what happens when a bow is drawn across a string the player determines the pitch by varying the length of the string which vibrates he does this by pressing the string against the fingerboard with his finger only the portion between his finger and the bridge will [Music] vibrate the shorter he makes the string the higher the [Music] note let us leave the cello a moment and take a look at the violin ordinarily one string is played at a [Music] time however two strings can be played melodically at the same time this is known as double stopping see how the player uses two fingers in various combinations with a more vigorous stroke three and even four strings can be played at once this is known as playing [Music] chords with all four instruments playing two three or four notes in various combinations it is possible to have as many as 16 notes being played simult ously thus producing both greater volume and richer [Music] sound one of the characteristics of a string tone which makes it pleasing is the effect known as vibrat vibrat is achieved by rocking the fingertip back and forth on the string in an even manner this is the way it tones sounds without any vibr at [Music] all now here is a very slow vibr here is the normal way of producing vibr let's hear the entire quartet play a phrase without [Music] vbr and now let's hear it with v [Music] notice how much richer and warmer the tone sound as the music becomes more intricate greater speed and facility is required in fingering and Boe [Music] playing a stringed instrument demands much of the same kind of mental and muscular coordination that is required of an athlete the eyes the arms and both hands are used in coordination by the players [Music] except for minor variations because of the size of the instruments fingering and Boeing are the same for the violins and the [Music] viola because of its size the cello can't very well be held under the chin since this is so the large part of the box is away from the player near the floor instead of being toward him you'll notice the position of the fingerboard in relation to the player is therefore reversed to play louder the player bows closer to the bridge and uses more pressure [Music] to produce a softer sound he bows closer to the fingerboard and uses less pressure one must be careful in playing loudly that the bow is moving fast enough to give an even pressure otherwise you get a tone that breaks by playing notes of varying length and rapidity the player produces varying rhythmic [Music] patterns in picato the strings are plucked instead of [Music] bode through the use of a mute which dampens the vibrations of the instrument at the bridge a change in tonal color can be [Music] achieved we have observed some of the basic techniques for playing a string instrument now let's look at a typical quartet score here is a portion of the score of Wolf's Italian serenade the parts played by each instrument are shown see if you can follow the parts as they are [Music] played [Music] the four voices can play the same notes in unison to emphasize a single idea any of the instruments can play a solo accompanied by one or more of the others the theme like a ball can be tossed from one player to another [Music] in orchestras there is a conductor all of the players in the orchestra follow the conductor in the quartet while the first violin usually gives the signal to start each of the other three players can assume leadership when his part so demands the other players then take their cues from him [Music] now as we see the Fine Arts quartet in the concert hall let's observe how each one of the players uses his instrument watch for the various ways in which the composer uses the four instruments notice too the give and take both in leadership and in the carrying of musical ideas between the members of the quartet as they play a portion of the finale movement of Mozart's quartet in G [Music] major [Music] oh [Music] that was kind of more fun than uh I thought the idea of plane um was kind of great now let's bring things down a little bit and talk about local civil defense [Music] enjoy men have always sought defense against a common Enemy by uniting their resources and Ingenuity even in the very earliest times the concept of a civil defense was deeply rooted in the anxieties of the community over the Terrors of the day walls around the cities of old were attempts to safeguard the civilian population from enemy Onslaught to inhabitants of the medieval Community the Catapult and the ballista were terrifying weapons and the only possible defense against them was stronger and higher walls in our own Pioneer Days civilian communities developed within the protecting walls of The Stockade today no barricade is high enough or strong enough to protect us from a possible onslaught of weapons the dwarf Anyan history in their destructive potential to reduce the effectiveness of these weapons should they ever be used in enemy attack on our nation a civil defense effort that challenges our Ingenuity and resourcefulness is necessary in the United States responsibility for civil defense planning at the federal level is lodged within the Department of Defense the development of civil defense programs is a joint responsibility shared by the federal state and local governments this film will consider a civil defense on the local government level Hometown USA a church a school a a factory an office building today these and other structures bear a marking on which the survival of our country might well depend shelter protection from dangerous radioactive fallout the inevitable result of nuclear warfare to provide enough shelter space for the community is the first and foremost consideration of local civil defense planning the national fallout shelter program has as its goal a shelter space for every man woman and child in the United States in cities and towns throughout the country public shelters have been surveyed marked and provisioned in a continuous program of shelter expansion with availability of shelter protection for its citizens the prime local civil defense responsibility is that each municipality or rural District must organize its local existing government agencies for Emergency Operations to meet the threat of enemy attack or natural disaster this is the objective of civil defense planning all over the nation local government officials meet periodically to discuss civil defense emergency measures the chief executive or governing body of the locality is responsible for civil defense protection for that Community appointed by the May or appropriate town or County officials the civil defense director acts as staff man coordinating the various emergency activities the logistics of survival are complex and varied they depend on technological knowledge which has developed at an incredible Pace spurred on by the unique dangers of our time survival materials and Equipment are researched engineered and fabricated however craftsmanship alone will not do the civil defense job this can only be accomplished by firmly organized emergency skills and an awareness by each local government official of what his Department can do to meet civil defense needs let's hear first from our chief of police Mr Condon har the police function in civil defense is a natural EXP expansion of our routine assignment of protection and keeping law in order in our headquarters existing facilities for police purposes can be quickly and effectively put to use in a national emergency or natural disaster type situation our siren warning system would function in emergency situations communication facilities linking Police Headquarters to key points in the community will be used in civil defense planning and operation ation in the handling of crowds National Emergency would add a considerable burden particularly in the critical movement to shelter period this would be a police responsibility and we carry on training and planning programs to meet civil defense needs in this area Mr Mayor in the sanitation department our emergency assignment might include uh helping with decontamination contamination is caused by radioactive fallout material settling after a nuclear explosion decontamination of buildings and streets and equipment might be necessary before an area could be used for its intended purpose much radioactive fallout can be removed methods include hosing down the area with water or sweeping gentlemen essential to the disaster situation whether natural or man-made is a rescue capability often the responsibility of the fire department in any large scale emergency we would have to face the fact that numbers of people might be trapped in wreckage in this town we have our own rescue vehicle equipped to handle a variety of disaster situations the town paid for part of the cost of the vehicle and the federal government contributed the rest as part of its program of providing funds for certain approved civil defense equipment thank you Chief Public Works Mr Mayor our public works department has the emergency assignment of keeping the town's facilities operating as normally as possible among other functions we work with the town's engineering personnel and the utility companies in developing plans for standby Services if this should become necessary Public Works trucks used in road maintenance and for other purposes might be called into service for emergency transportation needs thank you and now gentlemen our information officer public information is a vital element in civil defense operations now in time of emergency people have a great need to know what is happening now my job is to see that the public is provided with survival information through every possible channel of communication as your civil defense director I must stress The Importance of Being fully efficient in times of emergency first a shelter must be manned by efficient Personnel who can provide leadership within the shelter one of our shelter manager instructors has just come back from taking a course at a federal civil defense school he's going to set up a training program here in town for shelter managers shelters should be adequately stocked with food food water radiological medical and sanitation equipment the federal government provides the survival support for licensed shelters but it's up to us in local government to come up with any additional items such as CS chairs or blankets special foods and medications gentlemen an item of vital concern all of our local government civil defense activities may be conditioned by the radiological situation like The Fallout Shelter program itself the radiological defense program is a product of the nuclear age now our function in the time of enemy attack would be analysis and evaluation of the Fallout radiation data and the providing of technical guidance in this area many of the people assigned to emergency tasks such as firemen and policemen are also trained in radiological monitoring our training situation gives us experience with sample radiological materials in controlled exercises in all of our Emergency Operations the big need is for trained Personnel but most important of all we need qualified instructors the civil defense schools operated by the federal government provide a means of instructor training and each municipality or rural community should see to it that training courses are set up in such civil defense subjects as shelter management planning and operations and radiological monitoring a meeting of skills and capabilities plans for a pool of Manpower and equipment with one goal emergency protection for members of our family for friends for Neighbors other talents and skills too will be brought into the civil defense picture by an enterprising local government the clergyman the welfare worker the administrator the merchant all can assist in the emergency preparations the heart of local civil defense operation is an Emergency Operating Center which must coordinate emergency activities from a protected area this town is one of many in the United States which is developing an effective civil defense program its Emergency Operating Center is located in the basement of the municipal building in time of disaster the Emergency Operating Center would be staffed with Personnel assigned to the various civil defense functions information as to conditions outside would be received here and plotted on a map of the area indicating the disposition of the town's existing resources from this chart the civil defense director could tell at a glance what must be committed to any particular area markers are coded to designate fire police ambulance rescue or other resources required in the distress area at the administration desk the civil defense director takes charge of the activities vital to the Emergency Operating Center is a Communications capability that links the center with key Municipal facilities radio stations and County officials radio and telephone provide a network for the exchange of important emergency data a potential source of communications for civil def defense emergency is amateur radioactivity in many communities ham operators are licensed to tie in their facilities with a civil defense network communications apparatus is tested periodically with each municipality usually reporting to county or state control centers a ready Communications capability is invaluable in the disaster situation when conditions permit a mobile Communications ban may be used as a control center civil defense planning calls for an augmented Communications Network equipped to cope with a variety of critical needs supplementing the work of existing local government which has inherent responsibility in emergency may be the Red Cross traditionally serving in disaster situations help may also be available from military personnel in the local community wherever this would not interfere with a primary Armed Forces Mission local business and industry are essential in providing the required shelter space federal government surveys approved portions of thousands of buildings throughout the nation as Fallout shelters each building must be licensed with the owner's signature indicating his approval for its use as a public shelter this is the responsibility of local government the shelter markings on the buildings in our cities and towns are symbols of an ever expanding civil defense effort its success perhaps the survival of our nation will depend on how well each Community organizes for and meets its emergency responsibilities no one can predict whether this nation will ever be the victim of enemy attack nor do we know when or where natural disaster May strike if and when these should occur we must be ready to meet them we will be ready only if the full potential of civil defense is understood and acted upon by the federal and state governments and especially by local government and all persons charged with Community responsibility local government can and must meet the challenge of the nuclear age communities all over the United States share a common problem and a common responsibility to develop within their existing local governments an expanded capability for the protection of their citizens in time of emergency Staff College in Battle Creek Michigan hm that's that's interesting I wonder if there's like uh Kelloggs somehow had something to do with that uh anyhow um yeah don't worry general public we uh the bureaucracy will still survive all the paperwork that you need to fill out um as you uh succumb to radioactive fallout it's all been planned out you're good we have charts we have everything that's that's what those those civil defense films feel like to me is it's all about the paperwork the paperwork will survive survive um and because of that then our country Will Survive because it's built on paperwork uh all right I got one more film set up for you on the scanner this is Iowa's proud Heritage your state universities enjoy [Music] there's not much Prairie left in Iowa yet this is what most of Iowa looked like when it gained statehood in 1846 there were no roads no railroads just grass Prairie flowers and more [Music] grass yet somehow on these grasslands homes would have to be built food and clothing provided even with so much to do it was determined that if Iowa were to grow and prosper it must have public higher education available at low cost to educate teachers and other Professionals for the frontier society and especially to provide opportunities for Iowa young people to prepare for productive lives the University of Iowa was established by the first general assembly just 59 days after Iowa became a state another Milestone was the establishment of Iowa State University when Iowa became the first state to take advantage of the moral act whereby a federal land grant provided startup funds to teach Agriculture and Engineering at the college level again in 1876 in a renovated home for civil war orphans a state normal school later to become the University of Northern Iowa was established to meet the need for teachers for the public schools of the state and so lowcost public education was already a major goal low cost because these institutions were to be available to all rich or poor thus as covered wagons continued Westward Iowa pioneers began raising the buildings in which their sons and daughters could learn to heal to build to teach to make laws and to farm but beyond providing for learning more was required of these important institutions the universities were expected not only to transmit knowledge but to search out new knowledge and to make it available to all who could use it to this day research and public service are major characteristics of state universities and the Iowa institutions have traditionally LED in these efforts many of them Farm related from the past comes this [Music] example 1915 was a good year for boats old threshing hands as usual were guessing The Bushel per acre by watching how often The Bushel counter tripped it dumped so often that year that the yield was usually higher than the guess 1921 the counter had slowed down a bit 1925 still slower [Music] 1927 rust year after year the rust was taking a heavy toll that meant the painstaking work of cross-pollinating to develop the new varieties and the equally painstaking work of testing each new variety for rust resistance long before soybeans replaced oats as a second crop the rust resistant varieties had been developed one example of a university-based research gift to Iowa and the nation another example this one of Public Service the University Hospitals and Clinic created late in the 19th century by the Iowa legislature then as now its purpose was to combine clinical education with health care services for those who couldn't otherwise afford [Music] it today it is so developed that 2,000 patients a day are referred here over the past 40 years a member of one out of every two Iowa families has been cared for here some of of them for such sophisticated Services as laser eye surgery kidney transplants and heart catheterization in short it's a regional health care center with a national reputation for excellence service to the state and research pushing back the frontiers of our knowledge have become continuing Traditions at the state universities some accomplishments of the recent past are associated with well-known names Van Allen and radiation studies a tanos off and the computer and the work goes on both with the problems Ians face today and those they are likely to face in the future tornadoes simulated in a laboratory to

in Family Practice to provide Physicians for Iowa communities hand pollination of soybeans to meet world food needs by developing in new varieties new developments in the treatment of dental diseases uniq the University of Northern Iowa's Center for Urban education works with disadvantaged Ians in waterl the sulfur in Iowa coal a critical problem facing the future of Iowa's coal industry firemanship training to prepare Iowa's volunteer firefighters getting facts on on swine denter to learn how to control a major problem in pork production hydraulic research studying how you cool a Riverside Atomic power plant without raising the water temperature anhydrous ammonia accidents agricultural medicine pools the talents of two state universities to make a safer healthier life for Farm families these are but a very few of the multitude of activities associated with University education and only with the state universities in Iowa furthermore new Industries have grown up spin-offs from research at the universities the universities also bring new levels of cultural experiences for Ians Rudolph norev in hire Auditorium and s oawa in the New York philarmonic Orchestra in the Cy Stevens Auditorium but this is still only a part of the story The Big the major contribution of the Regent universities is the educated men and women who have studied in these institutions what do all these graduates bring when they go into the towns the shops and the industries of the state to find out look at a typical County one which represents the average of all the people in their occupations we'll call this typical County Regent County there you would find that of the 26 doctors in Regent County 12 would have received their training at the University of Iowa of a total of 450 teachers nearly half would have graduated from one of Iowa's three state universities one member of that teaching profession is Barbara Corson wife mother and assistant principal at waterloo's West High School today's emphasis on continuing education gave her another opportunity and I again returned to UNI where I had the opportunity to participate in the specialist in education program in school administration at the end of last summer I was qualified for State Endor as a secondary principal and at the end of next summer I hope to receive my degree in school administration so I've relied on un I to open doorways for me that I didn't consider as a younger woman Regent County would have the services of 86 Engineers of this number 59 would be from Regent universities and 18 lawyers out of a county total of 28 would be alumni of the University of Iowa and continuing education is not limited to the teaching profession a 1950 graduate judge Max R worling of Iowa's 7th Judicial [Music] District I get back to the campus frequently to attend lectures and legal institutes and to use the excellent and extensive library at the College of Law and a visit with professors on particular points of law in which they are experts in other words to update and continue my legal education these visits and the various publications of the College of Law including the Iowa law review constitute a very valuable service to those of us in the legal profession a service which is enhanced by the many other fields which are related in one way or another to the law and which are found only in a complex University such as the University of Iowa as region County builds it needs needs Architects half of them would be Iowa State University graduates there would be many farmers and aggra businessmen and in today's world an increasing percentage have had University training Richard L Smith president of the State Bank in Fort Dodge a graduate of Iowa State University banking is an everchanging business today and it's ever changing because the needs and requirements of our customers are ever changing and we in the banking business must constantly keep oursel a breast of of their business the changes that occur so that we can be at least as equally well informed as are they one of the sources that uh enable us to do this is the resource information and the assistance that is available to us from the region institutions for example the Iowa Bankers Association in conjunction with the Iowa State University people hold a twoe school over a 3-year period that's available to young officers to assist them in gaining new knowledge in the agricultural field what's the ratio among dentists out of 12 in Regent County 10 would be graduates of the University of Iowa there would be nurses lawmakers Merchants ministers public officials musicians and publishers alog together there would be nearly 900 graduates of three institutions in our typical County and 395 students from the county currently enrolled in the three universities Fred morraine longtime publisher of the Jefferson B and Herald with his son and assistant publisher Rick Morin the Marines are both graduates of the University of Iowa I just don't see how communities like Je person in Green County could operate in Iowa if we didn't have access to the graduates of the Regent universities uh by and large the great percentage of our leadership is uh trained in our three state universities practically all of our professional people our doctors our dentists our lawyers our Engineers veterinarians teachers practically all of our teachers uh come from Iowa schools and many of them from the Regent universities we did some figuring the other day and it's amazing but practically 5% of the people in Green County have either graduated from or are now attending the three region universities and this is to say nothing of the additional people who have attended there but who have not earned degrees yet I'm serious if Iowa communities are to remain vital and Progressive they're going to have to continue to have increasing numbers of regent trained people Ians have many reasons to be proud of their state universities and down through the years have supported them well both in resources and in good governance Iowa established its State Board of Regents in 199 the second state to take this step nine private citizens from throughout the state were appointed to assure coordination among its public universities full return on the educational dollar and the avoidance of unwise duplication today these same concerns guide their successors the president of the board from Harland Mary Louise Peterson an attorney vice president of a utility company from Davenport Donald Shaw a newspaper publisher and former Foreign Service Reserve officer from Sheridan John Baldridge a banker and former member of the State Board of Public Instruction from Wellman Stanley Barber a former state senator Farm manager and businessman from emmittsburg SJ brownley a community leader from oscal loosa Margaret Collison an attorney and president of a Waterloo company Harry SLI a law student at the University of Iowa from Manchester Steven Zumba a patent attorney and former legislator from Clarion Ray Bailey governing bodies like this one appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate have set educational and fiscal policy for Iowa's public universities as well as the Iowa Braille and sight saving school and the Iowa school for the death Iowans have traditionally placed high value on education it is received serious and sympathetic concern from lawmakers in the general assembly they among others are increasingly aware of new problems which have entered the picture and for which Solutions are pressing runaway inflation is one of these inflation is tough on everyone but it hits universities particularly because of their prolong budgeting process for example a classroom building planned in 1973 is approved by the general assembly in 1974 goes to Construction in 1975 for completion in 1977 no forward planning can take into account inflation's effects during that time the building to last 100 years is forever inadequate the same is true for operating expens expenses inflation will leave its mark on society but only greatest vigilance will prevent it from leaving our universities in a permanently weakened condition also although Iowans continue to look to their Regent universities as the Capstone of their educational system the state is spreading its educational dollars over far more territory including more than 50 vocational community and private institutions as important important as they are these schools are not interchangeable with the state universities 8 years ago Iowa was committing 23% of its general fund to its public universities now it is down to 14 and a half% and yet enrollments are over 20% higher than they were 8 years ago as a result in Iowa and throughout the nation more and more of the financial burden falls on the students 20 years ago the fees paid by Iowa residents covered about one1 of the cost of their education at the state institutions today their fees must cover nearly onethird of the cost there's irony and a great Injustice in such a [Music] tendency it doesn't change matters much for the poor where low family incomes make them eligible for financial assistance and it doesn't hurt the children of well-to-do families for whom a few hundred addition dollars may be no great burden but for the middle class it can be a heavy burden [Music] indeed the state universities are made up largely of students whose parents are in this middle- inome group they are not eligible for substantial financial aid they cannot meet spiraling tuition costs without great hardship today these middle income families who contribute so much to Iowa find that early goal of accessibility to college fading away for their [Music] children if Iowa is to solve its critical problems of an aging population energy and the environment rural decline health care and transportation it will need a great deal more not less help from its state universities there is no other ready source of brain power in so many areas of advanced knowledge as is to be found on these three campuses here again Mary Louise Peterson president of the board of regions the history of this state the concern and the traditions of its people in the past and today have been to maintain high quality universities I have a deep concern that I would like to share with you and that is that we follow the traditions of the past and that we continue to preserve quality public institutions in our state that we are provided the funds so that we can attract outstanding faculty to teach the young people of this state that we are able to provide adequate classrooms that we're able to replace obsolete equipment that we are able to provide in essence quality education for the young people and the mature continuing education students in this state I am concerned that we are able to provide opportunities for young people the basic philosophy traditionally from the past from today and hopefully into the future will be that we are able to provide educational opportunities for large numbers of students at a reasonable cost the Regent universities strong in their achievements responsible for Unique contributions to the Vitality of the state need your strong and continued [Music] support from the time of the Prairies to the present Ians have placed high value on their lowcost public universities their good judgment has been confirmed by the performance of these outstanding [Music] institutions [Music] yeah that that was what it was um it's a wonderful little time capsule and it certainly uh speaks to uh the that slow uh the funding that started going away for public education um and definitely dropped off in the 80s but uh fascinating nonetheless incredibly boring I'm sure to some of you but for me it's like oh it's an interesting little time capsule uh I actually did a show University of Iowa Iowa City I kind of was missing the thing and the films that I've been getting boxes from Recently have come from uh Northern Iowa University or University of Northern Iowa I think it's University of Northern Iowa uni uh so it seems appropriate that I have this film from there and I I wonder if they even have a copy of it uh it's interesting so yesterday I showed uh the last film I showed was inside inside out and I pulled that film because somebody is writing a book about the Inside Out series and uh nit uh and he was blown away by the film when I showed it to him and he said nobody has that film except for us like he doesn't know of any other entity that has the film so there we go it's sometimes little unique gems show up in uh in a Geeks and sometimes uh kind of dull gem show up um but thanks for tuning in today thanks for sticking around we'll be back again tomorrow it's Friday and uh if you like what you saw hit the Thumbs Up Button Thumbs Up Button uh you you can also watch other things on our Channel and we get ad revenue for that and that actually helps pay for uh four storage units that we have off site and that we're slowly migrating stuff uh out of the archive so that we can do some renovation work uh I'll have more details about that as we get closer um but uh you can support us also by going to using the super thanks option thank you um Kevin for that uh for celebrating that 1915 was a good year for oats um before the rust came uh you can also go to kfi.com avgeeks or patreon.com avgeeks those are ways to donate as well but at the very least watch our show chime in tell other people about it um but yes we'll be back again tomorrow everybody have a great rest of your Thursday and uh we'll see you soon bye
