The OLLI Luncheon Programs are a special partt of the overall fall curriculum, which oﬀers more than 120 courses, as well as a variety of ongoing speci special interest groups and travel opportuni es. “T “This

We just have more choices.” Subjects range from fitness to finance to fine arts, with 17 classes in science and in history. The organiza on also has a record number of members, some 1070, according to Craige. “These days we do not have to work hard to get people. They hear about us and want to join. I’ve been in classes when all these smart people were responding and joking and the teacher was ge ng funny too-everybody was having a good me. “OLLI has a wonderful culture and it’s great to be a part of it.”

Animal Issues: The Horse of Course Jeanne Barsan The horse went quickly from being essen al to the economy of the United States to an animal whose purpose was replaced by the bicycle and gasoline engine. The horse survives in the United States today in fewer numbers, mainly for recrea onal purposes. In other cultures, the horse con nues to be a mode of transporta on and a food source. This course will briefly review the past role of the horse and its present circumstances in the US. Current controversies such as horse racing, horse showing, horse slaughter for food, and the impact of economic downturns on the horse will be discussed. Dr. Barsan is a veterinarian who spent her career as a faculty member in the College of Veterinary Medicine at The University of Georgia. She taught and did research in internal medicine, focusing on urinary diseases of dogs and cats. She re red as a Josiah Meigs Dis nguished Teaching Professor.

Art for Fi y Years by M. Agner Margaret Agner This session will follow Agner’s long art work life. It began in the 60’s and will never end as long as there is breath. Most ar sts live to work, and, like Mondrian, “paint from inner necessity”. Agner’s primary medium, dye on fabric, holds interest due partly to its liquid mind of its own. One can’t wait to see what the previous day’s work will have dried to the next morning. Margaret will show a Power Point of many works covering 35 years or more, including pain ngs, prints, pastels, drawings, and fiber works (hangings, art to wear, liturgical paraments and vestments.) Athens ar st Margaret Agner received her BFA in pain ng at LSU in 1974, then learned fabric dyeing and surface design through books, seminars, and workshops. She teaches silk pain ng workshops and produces silk banners, wearables, and fine art from her basement home studio.

Eskew Bull Connor’s use of police dogs and fire hoses to suppress nonviolent protestors including schoolchildren engaged in civil rights demonstra ons led by Reverends Fred Shu lesworth and Mar n Luther King in Birmingham, Alabama in the spring of 1963 resulted in na onal and global outrage that forced President John F. Kennedy and the federal government to ul mately intervene on behalf of racial change that culminated in the ra fica on of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This watershed legisla on opened up the American system to all regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual preference, or disability, a victory won in the streets of Birmingham in 1963.

Breaking the Myth of Aﬀordable Housing

Calculus for Poets

Marilyn Appleby

Ellio Gootman

The presenta on will discuss the myths surrounding who lives in public and subsidized housing and what some consider the nega ve impacts of these neighborhoods. Discussion will include funding issues, changes in aﬀordable housing in communi es, and a ques on and answer session to help provide a be er understanding of what housing authori es do in ci es across the country.

Calculus, invented by Newton and Leibniz in the 17th century, is the mathema cal founda on of modern science, probability and economics. Why - because it provides the tools for a precise analysis of changing quan es, and just about everything in life changes. It also lets you compute a lot of really neat stuﬀ. In spite of the technical apparatus needed for precise computa ons, there are only 4 major concepts that are vital for a general understanding of calculus and its applica ons, and these are accessible to a high school student.

Marilyn Appleby has a degree in journalism from Ohio University. She worked as a police and government reporter for The Record in northern New Jersey before becoming involved with public rela ons for not-for-profit organiza ons. Currently, she serves a dual role with the Athens Housing Authority as both the Communica ons Director and a Property Manager. She has been a resident of Athens for 15 years.

Her innumerable projects - whether a new city, a church, a liturgical vessel, or a dinner set - were conceived in a manner allowing for mul ple yet complementary interpreta ons covering a wide spectrum of meanings.

God versus Science – A Short Odyssey through Three Books Dale Goodhue This course uses three books (Dawkins’ The God Delusion, McGrath’s The Dawkins’ Delusion and Miller’s Finding Darwin’s God) with very diﬀerent points of view to explore ques ons about religion, the existence of God, and the rela onship between belief in God and belief in science. The instructor will describe each of the books and his reac on to them on a first reading, but follow that with what he found a er a second reading -- very changed reac ons to each. Lest anyone be uncertain about the class theme, it has more to do with how atheists and believers should deal with one other than whether to be an atheist or a believer. Discussion will follow.

Lumière and the Birth of Cinema Richard Neupert In 1895, the young Lumière Brothers in France projected the first mo on pictures. This course outlines the contribu ons of Louis Lumière who launched some of the most striking movies the world has ever known. Some art cri cs even argued that Louis Lumière was the cinema’s equivalent to a great impressionist painter. We will watch and cri que some of these beau ful 50-second movies made in Europe, Africa, North America and Asia. Lumière movies truly “showed the world to the world.” Richard Neupert (PhD, Wisconsin) is the Wheatley Professor of the Arts and a Josiah Meigs Dis nguished Teaching Professor. Author of The End, History of the French New Wave and A History of French Anima on, his new book project is John Lasseter and the Rise of Pixar Style (U of Illinois P).

Origin and Age of the Earth Raymonde Freeman-Lynde In the early 19th Century, geologists, using simple principles to determine the rela ve ages of rocks, came to understand the great age of the earth and to establish a rela ve geologic me scale. Following the discovery of radioac vity at the end of the 19th Century, geochronologists developed techniques for radiometrically-da ng rocks and then established a numerical geologic me scale by the middle 20th Century. About the same me, cosmologists established the even older age of the universe and elucidated the processes by which the earth and the universe originated. Dr. Raymond Freeman-Lynde is Associate Professor of Geology at UGA. He has authored more than 15 research publica ons, including several on the evolu on of carbonate pla orms at passive con nental margins, especially erosional retreat of the original Mesozoic pla orm edge and modifica on of original shallow-pla orm sediments by deep-marine water flowing into the pla orm from the eroded margins. He teaches courses dealing with earth’s history of global change, earth science, and dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

Can learning about them give you a be er understanding of what is going on in our world - and even our own thoughts? Let’s make the journey together through myth, literature, movies, and perhaps, your own psyche.

He will use their stunning beauty to illustrate the conserva on messages hidden within their changing pa erns of migra on and home range.
