Public administration has made a major commitment to mid-curriculum internships. At least part of the rationale for that commitment is that the internship is considered an investment in the future, a way of reducing the front-end costs of learning the labyrinthine byways of complex organizations. That commitment is not inexpensive. A rough calculation of the direct cost of last summer's intern group at Indiana University cost the University, the interns, and the host agencies roughly $110,000 to support 55 interns. Applying estimated national enrollment figures, if the average direct cost of an internship is $2000 per intern, and if even half of the 20,000 students enrolled in M.P.A. degrees take an internship, then total direct cost could be somewhere around $20,000,000. Rather than focus on the monetary benefit of an internship, the question this paper attempts to explore is "what makes an internship satisfactory or unsatisfactory to the intern himself?" Certainly direct benefits may occur to an agency, to the student, and to the school itself. For example, the host organization may get a sophisticated project done at low cost.

This article presents information on the meeting of the Alpha Chapter of Indiana of the sociological society Alpha Kappa Delta at the Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, held on October 21, 1937. Professor Read Bain, of Miami University, addressed the Alpha Chapter of Indiana University with his paper "Sociology As a Natural Science." Bain introduced his subject by discussing different concepts of the status of sociology. Next, Bain turned to philosophy to establish the basis on which sociology is proceeding. Tracing the history of epistemology and ontology, he pointed out the changes of thought.

The article discusses the designer molecule for detecting cyanide in water samples. It notes that cyanide is a common byproduct of industrial manufacturing in which its contamination in drinking water is a major problem. With this, the Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana created the fluorescent molecule which works quickly, easy to use and glows under the presence of ultraviolet or black light. The said molecule is not yet in the market due to the need to improve its optical properties.

The article discusses about the research conducted by the chemists at the Indiana University in Bloomington which have designed an organic molecule that combines ions with negative charges. According to the article, the design made by the researchers may lead to the formation of a new set of chelating agents that shall separate solutions from chlorine, fluorine and other negatively charged ions. It is said that a lot of organic molecules that can combine positively charged ions because it is easy to combine organic molecules with parts charged negatively.
