Costich video

I set Dave Tyler up with access to the archives filecity2, and he had a student edit out a 3 minute video from the Costich film. He then wanted to know what the different segments were, so spent some time watching it and identifying the segments, which was a little tricky, since they'd cut and pasted in a random way. Fun stuff, he is going to post on the college Youtube channel.
