UCLA Instructional Media Production Archives

UCLA's Instructional Media Production traces its roots back to the
mid-1950s and the founding of UCLA ETV. This page is our chance to
reflect on how far we've come. It's also our way of celebrating the
triumphs (and the follies) of our founders, our present production
staff, and all the creative people who have worked here in between.
After taking a summer vacation (and a little longer than planned to
get geared up for the fall quarter), we are now ready to present our
third insatllment. As always, we hope you find the selections
interesting, entertaining, thought-provoking, or just strange enough to
hold your attention. If you like them so much you that you want to use
them in your classes, the Instructional Media Library has copies available
for screening in class. The Instructional Media Lab most likely has a copy you
can view on site. If you want to contact us about any of them, please
feel free. We'd love to hear what you think.
To view these files you will need the RealPlayer, available free of charge from Real
Networks. We recommend the G2 player, since these presentations use
features unique to that player. Visit our tools page for
information on downloading and installing the RealPlayer software.

1968 was a flashpoint for many social causes throughout the
country. Los Angeles, in that year, saw the energence of a new and
powerful local political force--the Chicano movement.
Dissatisfaction with the state of the schools in the Latino
community, quickly escalated to a debate on cultural identity and
bi-lingual education. The issues raised by Sol Castro and others in
1968 are still "hot-button" topics more than 30 years later.

Joel Henry Hildebrand was a chemist who began his scientific
life before the turn of the century. He joined the UC Berkeley
Chemistry Department in 1913 and worked there as a scientist until
his death in 1983 at the age of 101. His 280 research papers, tied
together physical phenomenon, and brought, as he was fond of saying,
"order from chaos." His discovery of the use of helium and oxygen
mixtures to alleviate the condition known as "the bends" saved 33
members of the downed submarine USS Squalus in 1939. Hildebrand's
career might be said to have spanned seven or eight scientific
generations.

In the early 1960s, musicians, intellectuals, and students with a
hunger for something of their own began to play music in the
folkloric style of their country. Borrowing and combining
instruments and forms from all over Latin America, they created a
musical movement known as La Nueva Canción or New Song. Their
songs were poetry and social commitment set to the traditional music
of Latin America, and they sparked a popular movement of social
change. Los Angeles-based band Huayucaltia guides you through the
music, instruments and history of this movement.
