Interview with Donald Hamilton and JoAnne Paton, Class of 1952
No full textOral history interview with Illinois State Normal University alumni Donald Hamilton and JoAnne Paton, Class of 1952. The interview was conducted on October 9, 1982, by Linda Polkow, then president of the Student Alumni Council.
Hamilton and Paton reminisce about the small, intimate ISNU campus of their time, contrasting it with the larger, more modern university they visit. They recall the warmth of faculty and the close-knit community, where personal interactions with instructors were common and the campus felt like an extended family. The interview touches on various aspects of campus life, from extracurricular activities like dances and sports to the social norms of dress and behavior. They discuss the affordability of education at the time, with low tuition fees and living expenses, highlighting how they managed to work their way through school. Memories of campus boundaries, popular forms of entertainment like movies and dances, and the strict regulations regarding tobacco and alcohol use provide insights into the cultural norms of the era.
Hamilton and Paton reminisce about student hang-out spots of the post-war years, including the Poplar Lounge, The Pilgrim, and Lucca’s. Both remember having to sleep in double beds with their roommates due to crowded conditions. They also mention significant local events, such as the 1950 Coal Strike, which disrupted their education temporarily. The interview concludes with reflections on Homecoming traditions, including the Homecoming Court, alumni gatherings, and the elaborate decorations that characterized the event.https://ir.library.illinoisstate.edu/aoh/1012/thumbnail.jp

The built environment, Hamilton City Council policies and child driveway safety: a balancing act
No full textDriveway run-overs continue to bring tragedy to New Zealand families at a higher rate than any other Western nation. Meanwhile, little progress appears to have been made in regard to the recommendations of previous research. This project investigates whether recommendations in regard to one key factor in driveway run-overs, the built environment, are reflected in current local body policies and regulations. The research evaluates Hamilton City Council policies affecting the renovation and/or erection of domestic residences with a view to determining whether they are consistent with existing knowledge and best practice initiatives designed to minimise accidental injuries to children on driveways.
The project compares the findings of a review of the existing literature on child safety best practice for the built environment and urban design of driveways, with a review of Hamilton City Council policies and guidelines relating to the built environment of residential properties and adjacent roads (the Operative District Plan, Ten Year Plan, Urban Growth Strategy, Vista, and more), along with relevant central government policy. These findings are triangulated with data from interviews with four expert informants – one child safety expert and three Hamilton City Council employees involved in planning, policy and transport – who provide insights into the translation of policies into practice
