L E A R N I N G I S F O R E V E R | Osher Fall 2018 Seminars | 3

The University of Dayton Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (UDOLLI) began 24 years ago as the University of Dayton Institute for Learning in Retirement or UDILR. Since 2004, we have been proud members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Network, a group of more than 100 institutes across the country dedicated to meeting the needs of adult learners over 50 years of age who wish to gather for the joy of learning and personal fulfillment.

OUR MISSION STATEMENTThe purpose of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton is to offer adults 50 years or better a wide variety of seminars based on the peer-learning concept and designed to be intellectually stimulating in an informal and noncompetitive environment.

We are a vibrant communityWe are adults with wide-ranging interests in art, current events, health and fitness, history, literature, music, religion, and science. A curriculum committee works with the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education to select our curriculum on the basis of member requests, the expertise of moderators, variety, and balance. Moderators include University of Dayton (UD) professors and community professionals who lead peer-to-peer informal lecture and discussion seminars that typically meet once a week for two hours, for four to eight weeks. The summer session is two one-day sessions.

Our seminars are noncreditThere are neither tests nor grades, nor educational requirements. Participation is essential, ranging from keeping up with assigned readings and contributing to seminar discussion to sharing the results of one’s own research. A majority of the seminars are held in the 1700 South Patterson Building; others are on the UD main campus with a few at off-site locations, such as the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. The map on pages 48-49 identifies the location of Daniel J. Curran Place and other UD buildings.

UDOLLI is a cooperative ventureWe rely on the contributions and participation, both in seminars and out, of each member. Members assist the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education by moderating seminars, coordinating lecture series, leading small group discussions, organizing activities and volunteer projects, serving on the board of advisors and committees, acting as seminar liaisons, helping in the office, and volunteering for all other tasks that keep us going.

MONDAY SEMINARSFamous Actors in Obscure Film Noir Gems NEWThese are tough cynical films about warped and untrustworthy characters: Humphrey Bogart: The Enforcer, James Cagney: Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, Angela Lansbury: Please Murder Me, Bette Davis: Beyond the Forest, Lloyd Bridges: Try and Get Me. Mickey Rooney: Quicksand. After introduction and showing the film, we will discuss it. There will be no scheduled break. However, participants would be advised to take a break as needed.

6 Mondays, September 24–October 29

As a film buff, he has seen over 200 noir films. This will be his sixth seminar as a moderator.

A Congress to Serve the Public NEWCongress has had a very high disapproval rating for almost a decade, no matter which party has been in the majority. Since 2000, they have raised the deficit every year since 2001 and each party has passed major new policies affecting the entire country with only one party input and support. Many people want to see Congress working together on solving the nation’s problems, but feel Congressional members put party, personal and/or donor interests first. Would you like to see big changes made in our Congressional processes? What changes and how?

“Somewhere West of Laramie”: A Visual History of American Automobile Advertising and Marketing NEWPerhaps Ned Jordan’s brief stint in advertising for National Cash Register’s John Patterson laid the groundwork for what arguably became the first emotive and romantic appeal to automobile marketing when, in June 1923, his Somewhere West of Laramie advertisement for the Jordan Playboy automobile appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. We may never know, but getting the customer into the driver’s seat of a car was never the same again. At the same time, business writers of the 1920s would refer to Dayton’s own Richard H. Grant Sr. as “America’s #1 Salesman” of automobiles.

From the early days of the motorcar, marketing executives have toiled endlessly to establish their brand images. To target these various audiences, manufacturers have marketed their products in specific ways, catering to the emotions, desires, and needs of the consumer. This seminar will explore the range of clever, and occasionally deceitful, marketing of automobiles from the 1920s through today. What psychological ploys of enticement have car companies employed in the visual media of television, film, and print over the years? Recent consumer behavior research on the influence of advertising will be shared with seminar participants as prologue to analysis of a range of artifacts in film, TV, and print.

What got you into particular cars over the years? Was it a recommendation of a friend or relative (“Ask the man who owns one!” – Packard) or the belief that a brand had reinvented itself (“Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile.”)? Or perhaps it was the desire to be seen as countercultural (VW’s clever ads of the 1960s). And yes, Mildred, sexual innuendo does sell cars, and we’ll cover that as well. Join us for a fun deep dive into automotive advertising and marketing over the years.

Note: This seminar follows earlier well-received UDOLLI seminars on American car culture and automotive design.

Some specific discussion topics will include; pathways to citizenship today, Constitutional Amendments, federal immigration, civil rights and voting rights laws, court cases that directly relate to U.S. citizenship, birth-right citizenship, naturalization, nationality, legal resident aliens, cultural exclusion–who could and could not become citizens–all things that have affected U.S. citizenship.

The Supremes: Judicial Hits or Flops Part 3As in prior years, this lively, interactive seminar will challenge participants to decide whether certain United States Supreme Court cases are judicial hits or judicial flops. In particular, this seminar will grapple with Amendment 1 freedom of speech issues in the context of college campus speech and internet speech, and with other current hot-button issues. These include the three Bs: “Blackouts of media” (freedom of speech and press, Amendment 1); “Bump stops” (individual’s right to bear arms, Amendment 2); and “Bakers” (tension between enforcement of one person’s due process and equal protection rights and another person’s freedom of religion and freedom of speech rights, Amendments 1 and 14). If you like to be challenged, this seminar is for you.

The Fifties: One-Hit Wonders From 1950-1959, Top Ten Hits From 1955-1959 NEWRemember the fifties music you used to listen to on your sister’s record player, or on your friend’s front porch? It sounded so good back then. Was it because we were young and impressionable, or did it sound good because it really was good? I think both answers are correct. Join the seminar and relive that really good music. We will share the best of the one-hit wonders from 1950 to 1959; and we will count down the top ten hits from 1955 to 1959.



This will be the seventh seminar Sam Kurtz has moderated for UDOLLI. In addition to music, Sam likes art and considers himself to be an artist. Many of his sketches are hanging on the walls of his closest friends’ homes. One of his photographs was included in Bing Davis’ Art Show a few years ago.

Ending Poverty? Is it Possible? The Good News about Social Services in the Miami Valley NEWWe will explore the progress we are making as a community to build a stronger “safety net” of social services for local residents in six key areas: housing, education, addictions, mental health, childcare, and criminal justice. Twelve agency representatives will de-scribe how their programs and services are impacting poverty and crime in the Miami Valley. The information will be presented in a discussion/question/answer format.



Dr. Linda Fischbach is a retired social agency director and licensed clinical mental health counselor with 36 years of experience working in social services in Montgomery County.

Dr. Priscilla Mutter is a retired teacher and counselor. Early in her career, she was a child welfare caseworker in Allen County, Ohio, working with abused and neglected children and their families.

I Tried Opera!The purpose of this seminar is to acquaint students with opera, particularly those who have never seen one or those who saw one or two but didn’t like it or didn’t “get it.” Culmination of the seminar will be attending Dayton Opera’s fall production (special ticket price, additional $10). No prior knowledge of music or opera required.



Mike Taint has been an opera lover all of his adult life and a member of the Dayton Opera Chorus since 1996, appearing in 70 productions with that company as well as the Sorg Opera, the Columbus Opera Project. He also sings with the Dayton Philharmonic Chorus, the Springfield Symphony Chorale, and appears in and occasionally directs Dayton community theater musicals and plays. An independent historian, he has presented papers at the Ohio Academy of History as well as moderated several history seminars for UDOLLI. Mike retired from the USAF in 1998 and from industry in 2012.


Biblio-Biography: A Bibliophile’s Guide to the Life Story of Books NEWIn this seminar we will look at the history of books. We will learn about the physical development, from clay tablets and papyrus scrolls through trade paperbacks and electronic readers, along with the invention of writing, alphabets, and the printing press. We will also see how the purposes of and attitudes toward books have changed over the centuries. We will talk about illustrators and illustrations, libraries and bookstores, book collectors and book thieves. And we will have time to share our feelings about books we love and why we love them.



Rita Dushman Rich is a semi-retired Speech/Language Pathologist, who has taught two previous seminars at UDOLLI. She is an avid reader and an unrepentant bibliophile. Her personal book collection is filled with mysteries, histories, novels, and non-fiction, but finances (and common sense) prevent her from becoming a true bibliomane (one who values books for their beauty or rarity more than for the words they contain). She suffers from a severe case of abibliophobia ( fear of being without reading material).

The Beatles on LPs (Albums) NEWBetween 1963 and 1970, the Beatles recorded 217 songs that make up their “core catalogue” of recordings. While most Beatles’ albums in the US were released on Capitol Records, they usually did not match the original Parlophone albums released in the UK. With the advent of CD’s, in 1987 the Beatles’ core catalogue was harmonized worldwide to encompass their original UK studio albums released in 1963–1970, the 1967 US Magical Mystery Tour LP and the Past Masters compilations. Of that 217, roughly 84 songs were released as singles in the US and the UK–counting both the A and B sides of each single. This leaves over 130 recordings that were not selected by the Beatles and producer George Martin for single release. Among that 130 are many worthy songs including, the entire Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band LP, the entire The Beatles (“The White Album”) LP; as well as many LP-only releases such as: “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away”, “Norwegian Wood”, “I’m Looking Through You”, and “In My Life.” In this seminar we will listen to many of those non-singles, provide a few facts about each recording, and offer lyrics for voluntary sing-a-long. One week will flip the coin and listen to singles that were never included on LPs (e.g. “Lady Madonna”, “We Can Work It Out”, and “Paperback Writer”). Join us in discovering or re-discovering these many great and near-great recordings.

6 Mondays, September 24 - October 29


Despite a number of half-hearted attempts, the only musical instrument Mr. Walt Wurst can play is the radio. But that has not stopped him from being unduly fixated on pop/country/rock/classical music from early childhood. Despite these distractions, Mr. Wurst earned an MBA from UD, and worked 35 years in financial management at WPAFB. Due to a seeming lack of oversight by the UDOLLI front office, this will be the eleventh seminar Mr. Wurst has led.


TUESDAY SEMINARSThe Church: Community of the BaptizedIn light of the New Testament and the Second Vatican Council, this seminar probes what it means to be church as the community of all baptized. It examines the church as a people called to the fullness of holiness (love), to share in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and to participate in Christ’s prophetic, priestly, and kingly mission. The seminar then points to some of the implications this understanding of church has for our spirituality, liturgy, and interdenominational relationships.

6 Tuesdays, September 25–October 30


Dr. Bill Roberts is professor emeritus of theology at the University of Dayton. He is the author/editor of 15 books, and has taught in the Osher lifelong learning program since 2003.

Mah Jong for BeginnersIf you are interested in learning how to play this ancient Chinese table game of tiles that involves skill, strategy, calculation, and luck, now is the time. The table game is very different from the Mah Jong game you may have played on your computer that involves simply matching similar tiles. The table game involves a competition among 4 players to build a winning hand with 14 tiles. It’s great for keeping your mind flexible and sharpening your mental skills. If you can play “Rummy” with cards, you can master Mah Jong.

She has served as a trustee for her community and has been in charge of many activities there. Mah Jong has become one of her passions for the last year.


Evaluating Information: How Do I Know What Information to Trust? We need good information to make important life decisions. But how do we know where to find our information and which information to trust? In this interactive seminar, participants will develop or hone their information use and evaluation skills. If possible, please bring a laptop, tablet, or iPad to each session because we will be looking at and evaluating online sources. You could also share a device with a fellow attendee.

We will discuss how information comes to us, “fake news,” the CRAAP criteria (currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose), and how to get the most out of online searching.

In this seminar we will address these questions and others, while you learn an important tech-nique in historical analysis: the use of primary source documents published about King. Each gives insight into what his life was like. By focusing on a few documents each week, you will learn the best strategies for understanding primary sources and will leverage this information to study and understand King. By the end you will be comfortable having a wider conversation about King, appreciate him on a more personal level, and understand better the nuances of historical study.

A New Look at the Old TestamentSo what’s all the fuss about the Old Testament? Who wrote it and what stories does it tell? When was it written and for what audience?

Fifty Years of Celebrating Our Rivers NEWFifty years ago, Ohio pioneered the nation’s River Preservation Movement with the passage of the first Scenic Rivers Act.

In the five decades since Ohio’s act was approved, 14 rivers have been designated as wild, scenic, and recreational rivers. In Southwest Ohio, the Little Miami River was the first to be designated as a National and State Scenic River.

Is Life Getting Better? NEWIs the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? Let us step back and use as a framework Steven Pinker’s latest book, Enlightenment Now: A Case for Reason, Science, Humanism and Progress to ask the question, “Are things getting better or worse?” Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment we now know has worked. The Enlightenment swims against currents of human nature we see all around us. The book uses 75 graphs of actual data from the last century or so to


demonstrate that things are getting better in areas like health, life expectancy, sustenance, safety, knowledge, happiness, health, existential threats, and many others. The ideas in the book will be expanded on from other sources. Yes, there are problems like overpopulation, depletion of resources, the threat of nuclear war, and global warming. But these problems can be solved.

SELECTED TOPICSBirth of the Israeli Air Force NEWWhen Israel was declared independent in 1948, five Arab armies were ready to invade. Israel had no aircraft and no pilots. A group of American World War II veterans volunteered and used obsolete German aircraft to slow the invasion. With additional support, a cease fire was soon declared and the Israel state became a reality.

Worker-Owned Cooperatives: Democracy in Workplace NEWWhat would a business look like if it were owned by all the workers instead of just the boss or absentee shareholders? This seminar will explore the principles that define and guide a worker-owned co-op and show how it contrasts with our traditional view of capitalism. A worker cooperative looks like any other business we see on Main Street or listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The primary difference is ownership. Co-op employees own the business, not outside shareholders. As owners they vote on all company decisions and they share equally in the profits of the company. There are thousands of successful worker co-ops throughout the world and one will soon be coming to Dayton’s food desert. We will examine some of the best co-ops in Ohio, the U.S., and internationally. We will also briefly look at Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), an entirely different type of employee ownership.

History of Jazz Part 1Whether you are a long-time jazz lover or a person completely new to the music, this seminar will be for you. Over the course of three seminars, we will cover the evolution of jazz, America’s greatest gift to the arts. The majority of the time will be spent listening to the music. Each recording will be introduced with an explanation of what to listen for. At times, the moderator will demonstrate certain styles on the piano. The recordings will be accompanied by photographs of the musicians, as well as stories of their lives. Since jazz is a player’s art, rather than a composer’s art, one cannot separate the music from the musician.

In part 1, we will define jazz and what makes up the elements of jazz. We will demonstrate song forms, syncopation, blues tonality, swing, and the most misunderstood concept–improvisation. We will then cover the prehistory of jazz (ragtime, blues, marching bands), New Orleans jazz (and what was unique about New Orleans to lead to the birth of jazz), Louis Armstrong, Chicago jazz, Harlem style, Early Big Bands, Duke Ellington, Swing era Big Bands, Kansas City jazz, and finishing with small group swing (Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Lester Young, Johnny Hodges, Benny Goodman, Roy Eldridge, Art Tatum, Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian). We will touch on the effects of parallel historical events that affected the music (Boom of the 1920’s, Great Depression, WWII, etc.). We will discuss the effects of race and segregation on the music. We will also discuss the role that vice played in early jazz development, mainly in New Orleans, Chicago, and Kansas City.

6 Tuesdays September 25–October 30

He minored in jazz studies at Duke University, studying with noted educators Jerry Coker, Dwike Mitchell, Willie Ruff, and the great Mary Lou Williams. Dr. Lavin is able to draw upon his large collection of jazz recordings and literature to present this seminar. He moderated History of Jazz, parts 1 and 2 during the last academic year.

The Evolution of U.S. Citizenship: Founding of Republic to Present Day NEWWhat does U.S. citizenship mean and how has that meaning evolved throughout our history? You may be surprised.

Some specific discussion topics will include; pathways to citizenship today, Constitutional Amendments, federal immigration, civil rights and voting rights laws, court cases that directly relate to U.S. citizenship, birth-right citizenship, naturalization, nationality, legal resident aliens, cultural exclusion–who could and could not become citizens–all things that have affected U.S. citizenship.

Sessions:

Pathways to U.S. Citizenship

Early Republic Naturalization Laws and ‘Those Damn Foreigners’

Citizenship Rights & Exclusions for Select Groups

Monday, November 1, UDOLLI Legacy Writers Readings

Mark your calendars. More details to come.

EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL Christmas Past & PresentDepart Friday morning, November 30, 2018, for Indianapolis, where our first stop will be the Indiana Historical Society. Here you will tour the Festival of Trees, over 100 Christmas trees each decorated by a local group or business based on a specific theme that they have chosen. The imagination and detail is exquisite! Feel free to explore the rest of the exhibits too. There are living history rooms and a Cole Porter room with live entertainment and seating (you can even make song request!). Lunch will be at famous Shapiro’s Deli, a family owned Kosher deli since 1905. After lunch, we will travel to the home of the 23rd President (the only one from Indiana), Benjamin Harrison. He was born and raised in the Tri-State area and loved Christmas. In fact, he was the first President to put up a Christmas tree at the White House. You will see the house decorated just as the family did back in the late 1800s, many of the decorations and furniture are original to the Harrisons.

The tour includes Motor Coach Transportation, Admission and Self-Guided Tour at Festival of Trees, Admission and Guided Tour at Benjamin Harrison Home, Lunch at Shapiro’s, Taxes and Gratuities on meal and attractions, and a JOY Tour Director.

OTHER CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT UDSENIOR FELLOWSIf you are 60 years of age or better, you can become a UD Senior Fellow. Membership in the Senior Fellows program includes the privilege of attending any two seminars for which you meet the prerequisite–graduate or undergraduate–each term on an audit basis. (Books and special fees are extra.)

DAYTON CELEBRATION CHORUSThe Dayton Celebration Chorus is an adult community chorus that serves the city of Dayton and the Miami Valley region. Open to all interested adult singers and requiring no audition, the Chorus sings a diverse repertoire of both sacred and secular choral literature, with an emphasis on American music. Founded in 2003 as the Schuster Center Celebration Choir, the organization was first sponsored by the Victoria Theatre Association. In 2014, the group affiliated with the University of Dayton Office of Special Programs and Continuing Education.

Performance venues have included the Schuster Center for the Performing Arts, Courthouse Square Grand Illumination, Kroc Center, Dayton Art Institute, Victoria Theatre, The Greene, UD Arena, Fifth Third Field, and various churches and retirement communities. Chorus members have enjoyed performance opportunities with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra’s Holiday Festival Community Chorus, the UD New Horizons Band, the Miami Valley Symphony, and various guest artists and conductors. DCC has been selected annually to sing the National Anthem for the Dayton Dragons at Fifth Third Field.

For registration information, please visit: udayton.edu/continuing_education/noncredit_offerings/daytoncelebrationchorus.

NEW HORIZONS MUSICLearn to play music in a band as a senior adult–even if you have no musical experience! Playing music is a special joy that will help you maintain mental and physical health. It is also a way of experiencing life–playing music from the past keeps us in touch with those feelings; daily practice keeps us active in the present; and striving for new goals attaches us to the future. One band member describes it as “serious fun.” As a member of New Horizons Music, you will meet new friends and work with them as a team to learn music for concerts and other performances in the community. New Horizons ensembles typically perform many times each year in venues ranging from formal concerts to shopping malls and from parks to retirement and nursing homes.UD New Horizons Music offers adults 50 years of age or better the opportunity to begin a musical instrument and provides a re-entry point for those who have been away from active music making for many years. Instruments taught include: flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, and percussion.For registration information, please visit https://www.udayton.edu/continuing.../senior_pro-grams/index.php

Parking permits. There is a fee of $50 for each parking permit.

You are welcome to park anywhere off campus. If you choose to park on university grounds and campus, UD requires a valid university parking permit. This also includes handicapped-designated space. During registration, you can request a permit to park on campus.

University of Dayton Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

CONNECTING GENERATIONS & CULTURES A TALENT BANK & CLEARING HOUSE PROGRAM With age comes wisdom and experience that can be priceless when shared with others

1. What Is This? The UDOLLI Connecting

Generations & Cultures (CGC) initiative is a

Talent Bank & Clearing House that connects interested UDOLLI members who want to share their expertise

and experience with community

organizations in the Miami Valley.

UDOLLI has a wealth of vibrant, highly educated,

experienced, and talented members. We put your talents to work by connecting you to organizations who need your help carrying out their mission. As members of our program, many of you are ready to share your decades of professional knowledge, experience, and wisdom with those who can benefit. It’s simple; once you’ve been notified of an opportunity and think you would like to get involved, you just contact the organization directly with the information provided and you’re on your way to a new adventure. But first, you need to sign up to participate.

2. Connecting You as a CGC Professional Here’s how we get you connected. First, you need to register

as a CGC Professional. It’s easy: all you have to do is go to the UDOLLI website and the CGC page. There you will find a simple application form to complete (it will take about 2 minutes) Now you are in our database. So, when we have an organization that is looking for UDOLLI talent, we just send an email to those in our database. You’ll learn about the organization, decide if you’re interested, and then you reach out to the organization’s contact directly. By using the “CGC Professional” database, we won’t be sending emails to all our members who may not be interested in participating. We will still communicate an organization’s needs in a variety of other ways to our entire membership via newsletter, class announcements, special presentations, and promotional flyers.

Your connection could be for a single project or an ongoing program. For example, you could share your ideas during a creative planning session or work with the organization on a regular basis to carry on their mission. There may be several of your fellow UDOLLI members involved in the same activity, or it might be just you. Whatever project or organization you get involved with, you will meet new friends and perhaps build life-long relationships. You may even find that a connection can be life changing. You may be a senior, but you’re not done yet! You can share your years of professional experience and wisdom to make our community a better place.

3. Connecting Criteria for Community Organizations

The CGC initiative reaches out to various community groups, and many have reached out to us. We connect to organizations that meet any one of these criteria: is it educational, cultural, civic, social, governmental, inter-generational? Can our members and the organization’s members contribute to and benefit from the connection experience? As opportunities come along, we promote them to UDOLLI members who have registered as a CGC Professional. Check out a few of our connected organizations below. And be sure to let us know of any organizations you feel would make a good connection with our program*.

*NOTE: A recommendation is no guarantee we will make a connection. We carefully review every idea to ensure it fits within UDOLLI’s mission and the objectives of the Connecting Generations & Cultures initiative. Our Executive Director makes all final decisions. All UDOLLI members involved with any Connecting Generations & Cultures project must understand and accept that they represent the University of Dayton’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and must adhere to all rules and regulations that may apply to the University and our program.

4. Some of Our Connected Partners The following list includes some of the organizations we have

connected with since the inception of CGC in 2013. With some of our connections our members have been deeply involved working on a variety of projects, and with others we are just getting started. The connection may currently be active or inactive. Our members have contributed their expertise in a variety of ways: teaching, mentoring, donating, doing research, facilitating deliberation discussions, and facilitating creative and strategic planning sessions; along with a host of other activities they did during their career.
