Eastern illinois University's campus was small before the 1940s when compared to its size and buildings of today. It handled students by the hundreds, instead of thousands. Except for the women living in Pemberton Hall, students found their own quarters around Charleston. The administration did not consider housing for married students a priority simply because the number of people who were both married and college students made no significant blip on the radar. Then, as many twentieth century narratives go, World War II changed everything. Providing on-campus housing options for postwar populations became a driving force in the development of Eastern's built environment.

Sudafrica se prepara para recibir un nuevo gobierno de unidad nacional en abril de 1994, despues de mas de cuatro decadas del apartheid, caracterizadas por discriminacion racial y opresion politica. Muchos sudafricanos temen que este gobierno o su sucesor inmediato, aplique una variedad de politicas economicas en una tentativa por otorgar beneficios a corto plazo a los hasta ahora desprovidos de derechos politicos y de poder economico, conforme a menudo occurrio en Latinoamerica despues de un periodo de gobierno militar, opresion politica o estancamiento economico. Este articulo reflexiona sobre algunas experiencias de postguerra en America Latina y sus lecciones para Sudafrica. (UNISA Lat Am Rep/DÜI)
