EIN 13−1038730 Name United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York Date case filed for chapter 11 3/27/17 Case number: 17−22445−rdd Official Form 309F (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 12/15 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice.

    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century

    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.

    TWO TURNTABLES and a MICROPHONE by Andy Baum, C'72

    TWO TURNTABLES AND A MICROPHONE By Andy Baum, C’72 Growing up, my only career ambitions were to write for a newspaper and to be on the radio. When I was admitted to Penn I saw the chance to achieve both. So during freshman year I heeled both the Daily Pennsylvanian and WXPN. The DP was an august institution. A bunch of unpaid students somehow produced a well- written, full-sized print newspaper every weekday without benefit of computers. Everyone on campus read it. A leadership position at the paper was a serious credential, and helped launch many journalistic careers. The highlight of my heeling was spending election night in 1968 standing by the UPI teletype, ripping off and then delivering to the correct desk the election return reports. It felt important. WXPN wasn’t important. It was lodged in a few run-down rooms on the top floor of Houston Hall. Its AM station broadcast through electrical wires in the dorms. It had a Top 40 format. Since it was easy for students to hear the real thing on WFIL or WIBG, the audience consisted mostly of friends of the student DJs and a few other souls looking for an easy way to win a Campus Joe Pagano pizza by being the “third caller.” (Often, the winner was the only caller.) The FM side was more serious business, but it didn’t have much impact on campus life, and was barely known off-campus except among alumni who tuned in to hear Penn football games. I made the cut at both.

    DPAA 2018: Year in Review What We Did • Organized the 33Rd Annual Steven A

    Daily Pennsylvanian Alumni Association 2018 Annual Report We’re pleased to provide your copy of the DP Alumni Association Annual Report. Look inside to read columns from DPAA President Martin Siegel, outgoing DP President David Akst, DP General Manager Eric Jacobs, and DP Board of Directors Lead Alumni Director Chuck Cohen about the state of the DP and DPAA. We also recognize the many DP alumni who contributed to the DPAA during our 2017-18 membership year. Why do we create and mail a printed report? Each year, some of you have asked why we aren’t being greener/more frugal by simply posting it online. While we do post alumni news throughout the year on our DPAA Facebook page, and send periodic emails, statistics show that fewer than half our alumni read our email newsletters and subscribe to our Facebook page. So this once-a-year mailing attempts to reach the widest audience of DP alumni to give everyone a snapshot of DP and DPAA activities during the past year. We hope you find this report informative, and as always, we welcome your input on how we can improve it in future years. The DPAA Board of Directors December, 2018 DPAA 2018: Year in Review What we did • Organized the 33rd annual Steven A. Marquez Journalism Conference in September, featuring 18 DP alumni speakers • Presented the 5th annual DP Journalism Bootcamp in January, featuring 8 DP alumni speakers • Hosted office open house receptions for alumni on Homecoming and Alumni Day, and smaller regional get-togethers in New York and San Francisco • Provided alumni critiques of
