OLLI at ISU’s Purpose

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University (OLLI at ISU) is a non-profit membership

organization open to all adults but geared towards individuals age 50 and older, regardless of academic

background. At its center are learning programs designed by its members and tailored to suit their interests.

These programs (lectures, courses, and special events) are offered without concern for grades, credits, or

prerequisites. Indeed, the only requirement for membership in the Institute is a desire to learn.

The Institute emphasizes collaborative leadership and active member participation. The primary responsibilities

for programs are assumed by Institute members, all of whom volunteer their time. However, it is only because of

the substantial support of the Bernard Osher Foundation and Indiana State University that the Institute can offer

these unique learning opportunities to residents of the Wabash Valley.

Mission Statement

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a forum for adults of all academic and economic backgrounds

to learn about a wide variety of subjects they find interesting and engaging.

THE FACES OF OLLI

Outstanding OLLI

Nancy and Dave Watkins appreciate the Osher Lifelong Institute at Indiana State University

(commonly referred to as OLLI). From its plethora of offerings, they take part in only a few, but of

considerable diversity. In February they presented an introduction to H. M. S. Pinafore (operetta by

the famous team of Gilbert & Sullivan) the day before the OLLI expedition to attend a performance

by the Indiana University Opera Company. As usual, the presenters of the lecture learned more than

the audience!

In March, OLLI was given a tour of The Tulip Company, located in Terre Haute with shipping

wholesale cut tulips to vendors throughout the nation. We saw tulip planting, growing, cutting and

trimming, and boxing for shipping. (And brought home a complementary bouquet!)

In October, OLLI visited Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area, wetlands established in 2005. Over 260

bird species have been observed there. We saw sandhill cranes, blue herons, eagles, and pelicans (!),

but only from a great distance. Also in October we attended a 4-session class on Judaism, taught by a

retired nursing faculty member who often serves as a source of information about Judaism.

November included a lecture on the Battle of Iwo Jima given by one of the few remaining veterans of

that campaign. We also attended 2 presentations on American Musicals, approached from quite

different perspectives.

A listing of the programs attended by Nancy and Dave illustrates the range of OLLI offerings. Each

semester brings new offerings. Often due to schedules or interest level, the duo attends events

individually. ("Where's Nancy?" "Where's Dave?" At our ages, not a casual question!) This provides

fodder for the cocktail hour and a return of the attendee to academic lecture mode.

Serial Killers: Inside the Mind Of…. With Jennifer Murray, ISU Assistant Professor of Criminology; Jennifer Schriver ISU Professor of Psychology; and

Michelle Bennett, OLLI at ISU Program Administrator

Date/Time: Thursdays, May 7, 14 & 21, 2015

from 2 - 4 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall, Room 208

Cost: $15

There is so much in media about crime, specifically serial killers, from crime shows like Criminals Minds, to movies like No

Country For Old Men, and books like The Talented Mr. Ripley. Why are we so fascinated by these types of crimes and the people

behind them? Join us for a look into the facts behind the fiction and see if, after a better understanding of the facts, you view the

fictional characters differently.

Session 1: We will start with Jennifer Murray talking about her work on both serial and mass killers. We will investigate the

fantasy process of mass killers and their identity issues. We will also compare the two types of killers and their motives, fantasies,

methods, and development.

Session 2: Next Jennifer Schriver will discuss the psychology behind crime with a focus on explaining the terms that are used:

psychopathy vs. sociopath.

Session 3: We will end the class by a discussion of the book The Mermaids Singing by Val McDermid and if your perspective on

such characters has changed based on what you have learned.

In the fictional English city of Bradfield, men are being abducted and tortured to death using brutal medieval techniques. The

bodies are then found in areas frequented by gay men and women. The police reluctantly recruit a criminal profiler, Dr. Tony Hill.

He joins forces with Detective Inspector Carol Jordan, for whom he develops complicated romantic feelings. Dr. Tony Hill has

problems of his own, including a mysterious woman named Angelica who frequently calls him for phone sex. As Tony becomes

increasingly involved in the investigation, it becomes apparent that the killer is seeking Tony as the next victim.

Great World Religions: Islam With Dorothy Drummond, Retired Geographic Educator and World Traveler

Date/Time: Tuesdays, June 2, 9 & 16, 2015

from 3:30 - 5:30 PM


Cost: $15

We are continuing our study of the Great World Religions with the DVD courses from Great Courses. Having studied Judaism and

Christianity, we will look at Islam. We will view sections from DVD course on Islam from the Great Courses followed by

additional information from our moderator and presenter Dorothy Drummond. The topics to be discussed are as follows:

Session 1: Islam Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow The diversity of cultural and religious practices of Islam is reflected by the geographic expanse of the Muslim world. Islam's more

than 1 billion followers live in 56 countries around the world, yet many in the West know little about it and are familiar only with

the actions of a minority of radical extremists. This lecture outlines the second-largest and fastest-growing of the world's religions,

which is part of the religious landscape of America and Europe, and has had a significant impact on world affairs.

Muhammad, Prophet and Statesman Muhammad's significance is the result of his dual roles as God's messenger and as the perfect living model of the Quran's

teachings. After 10 years of persecution and resistance in Mecca, Muhammad and the early Muslims moved to Medina, where

Muhammad served as prophet, political ruler, military commander, chief judge, and lawgiver.

Session 2: The Muslim Community: Faith and Politics The development of Islam and Muslim history enables us to appreciate the remarkable political and cultural achievements of the

Golden Age of Islamic civilization and to understand the sources of sectarianism, religious extremism, and conflict between Islam

and Christianity, epitomized by the Crusades.

The Contemporary Resurgence of Islam

In the last decades of the 20th century, a series of political events and economic realities led to the desire of many Muslims to

achieve greater authenticity and self-definition through a revival of Islam. Reformist movements have worked within mainstream

society for change, but extremists have resorted to violence and terrorism to achieve their goals.

Session 3: Islam at the Crossroads

Like members of other faith communities, contemporary Muslims face the challenge of defining the role, meaning, and relevance

of Islam. At the heart of the "struggle for the soul of Islam" between conservatives and reformers, mainstream Muslims and

extremists, is the question of who should interpret Islam and how reform should be achieved. Major issues include the relationship

of religion to state and society, the role of Islamic law, the status of women and non-Muslims, the compatibility of Islam and

democracy, and relations with the West.

Women and Change in Islam

The status of women in Islam is a hotly contested issue, both in the Muslim world and in the West. Muslim women are often

viewed through Western stereotypes or the policies of extremists, such as the Taliban. Although some critics claim that Islam

oppresses women, others view Islam as a source of women's empowerment. Even the wearing of the veil has diverse meanings for

wearers and observers. Suggestion for readings: No God But God, by Reza Aslan & Islam, Gender, and Social Change, by Yvonne Haddad and John Esposito

A Brief Look at the Poets Laureate

of the United States With Patrick Harkins, Professor Emeritus

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College

Date/Time: Thursdays, June 4, 11, 18 & 25, 2015

from 2 - 4 PM


Cost: $20

Since 1985 the Library of Congress has appointed a poet

laureate consultant in poetry to raise the nation’s appreciation

of poetry. From 1937 to 1984 the position was called poetry

consultant to the Library of Congress. Some of America’s

most well-known and popular poets, such as Robert Frost

and Gwendolyn Brooks, have served in this position. In this

course we will discuss the history of the poet laureate and

read together some of the poems these poets have written.

Climate Change &

Sustainable Gardening With Aaron Warner, Biology and Zoology teacher at South

Vigo High School

Date/Time: Tuesday, June 9, 2015

from 9:30 AM - 2:45 PM

Place: Morning: South Vigo High School (Signs will direct you to his classroom.)

Afternoon: Yellow House Farm (Directions Provided)

Cost: $20

Morning Session (9:30 – 11:30 AM) - Climate Change

This session will begin with a discussion of

the past, present and future of various

environmental issues. Included will be a

discussion of how humans have contributed to

the current problems and what can be done to

help turn the tide of global collapse. Some of the issues will

overlap, some will seem insignificant, and some should

create lively debate. The ultimate goal is for each participant

to think more deeply and thoroughly about each issue.

LUNCH (12 - 1 PM) - Lunch will be provided by Aaron

Afternoon Session (1 - 2:45 PM) - Sustainable Gardening

The afternoon will be spent in southern Vigo

County on acreage that Mr. Warner, his wife

and their two sons have turned into what he

calls “a classroom of exploration.”

Participants will visit their organic garden as

well as their bee hives and blueberry plantation with the

focus on living as sustainably as possible. Although

participants will be walking much of the time numerous

sitting breaks will be provided.

Greek Mythology Heroes With Matthew Bird, ISU Graduate Student

Date/Time: Mondays, June 15, 22 & 29, 2015

from 3 - 5 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall, Room 209A

Cost: $15

If a hero is properly defined as somebody who does something dangerous to help somebody else, then the heroes of Greek

mythology do not qualify. They were a selfish bunch, often with additional antisocial tendencies thrown into the bargain--in other

words, not exactly role models for the younger generation of today. But knowing their names and exploits is essential for

understanding references in literature and even popular culture today. So let's recognize and celebrate Hercules and Perseus and

the others by their proper dictionary definition: "In mythology and legend, a man or woman, often of divine ancestry, who is

endowed with great courage and strength, celebrated for his or her bold exploits, and favored by the gods."

To Be or Not To Be:

Two Film Comedies by Ernst Lubitsch (1942) and Mel Brooks (1983) With Tom Sauer, Professor Emeritus Indiana State University


from 9 AM - 4 PM

Place: Westminster Village, Media and Card Room

Cost: $15

The most famous line by the most famous author in the English language is the title of films by two of

the most famous directors/producers in the history of American film comedy, Ernst Lubitsch and Mel

Brooks. The “Lubitsch touch” signifies cinematic sophistication, artistry, and subtlety in American

romantic and screwball comedy in the 1930s and 1940s (e.g., Trouble in Paradise, Design for Living,

The Shop Around the Corner); in the words of the director John Ford, “None of us thought we were

making anything but entertainment for the moment. Only Ernst Lubitsch knew we were making art.” In the 1970s, 1980s, and

1990s, Mel Brooks wrote and directed multiple beloved send-ups of classic American film types that are zany, camp, and

hilarious (e.g., Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights). The basic plot in both

To Be or Not To Be films involves a group of ham actors who thwart Nazi occupiers in Warsaw in September 1939, with the lead

roles played by Jack Benny and Carole Lombard in the Lubitsch film and in the Brooks film by Brooks and Anne Bancroft. There

are major differences between the films in several plot details, the style of the directors, and the performances of the actors (both

fictional and actual). Viewing the films as a pair offers an opportunity for the mutual illumination of the essence of two very

different types of American film comedy.

Dystopian Fiction With Michelle Bennett, OLLI at ISU Program Administrator

Date/Time: Tuesadys, July 7, 14 & 21, 2015

from 2 - 4 PM


Cost: $15

Dystopia is defined as a society characterized by a focus on negatives such as mass poverty, public mistrust, police state, squalor,

suffering, or oppression, that society has most often brought upon itself. Most authors of dystopian fiction explore at least one

reason why things are that way, often as an analogy for similar issues in the real world. In the words of Keith M. Booker,

dystopian literature is used to "provide fresh perspectives on problematic social and political practices that might otherwise be

taken for granted or considered natural and inevitable.”

Dystopian fiction has been around for a long time; interesting enough, it was an offshoot of utopian fiction which started growing

in popularity in the 1900’s. In this class we will explore three very different books that fall with in the dystopia genre.

Fahrenheit 451: No list of dystopian novels could hope to be complete without Ray Bradbury’s most enduring work. In

a futuristic United States, books themselves have been banned, and firemen are tasked with burning down the houses

which are found to contain them. People find entertainment in shallow television, radio shows, short sound bites of

news. A seventeen-year-old girl, Clarisse, questions the world around her, which then challenges fireman Guy Montag’s

ideas of the world in which he lives, leading him to question, as well.

The Handmaid’s Tale: The story of The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, fertility is a prime commodity in the

Republic of Gilead. Most women have lost the ability to have children, and the few who can are assigned the role of

Handmaid. Handmaids live with high ranking officials and their trophy wives in the hopes that the Handmaid will

become pregnant. Children are then raised by the wife as the Handmaid moves on to another official. Offred, a

Handmaid to the Commander, remembers what life was like before a deeply conservative religion became the answer

to a fertility crisis—a time when women could read, could choose their husbands, and could keep their children.

Divergent: The first in a trilogy by Veronica Roth, follows Beatrice “Tris” Prior who is born into a strict caste-based

society. Just once in everyone’s lifetime, a chance is offered for teenagers to change from the faction they were born in

to the one they will live in as adults, based on aptitude tests. Beatrice’s test reveals aptitude for an unprecedented three

factions, placing her future in question and her life in danger. Beatrice decides to move to a faction which only accepts

ten new members every year. With close to thirty applicants, Beatrice must fight to survive—or find herself left to die

on the fringes of society.

Indiana State University Tour of Art Spaces Sculptures With Cheri Bardley, First Lady of Indiana State University


from 11AM - 2PM

Place: ISU, Cunningham Memorial Library, Room 028

Cost: $20

Deadline for registration is May 19 , 2015!

Join us for lunch followed by a walking tour of sculptures installed on campus through a partnership between Indiana State

University and Art Spaces, Inc. As a special bonus we will have our tour led by none other than Indiana State University First

Lady, Cheri Bradley.

ISU Sphere: ISU Sphere, by Brandon Zebold interacts playfully with nature, and elements of the surroundings may

be seen around and through the sculpture. The imagery on the sphere is inspired by symbols of ISU, as well as

familiar elements of the City of Terre Haute. These include reference to the Wabash River, the sycamore tree, and

even the crows. The artist intends that the viewer engage in deciphering the symbols which may be found within

both the positive and the negative spaces.

Renewal: Tim Upham's Renewal creatively transforms an open street corner into a welcoming and intriguing

environment as the sculpture surges upward out of the ground. He was asked to incorporate one or more of Indiana

State University's symbols (a book, a torch or a sycamore leaf) into his concept as well as to respond to the new

building and its surroundings.

A Chorus of Trumpets: A Chorus of Trumpets was conceived by artist Howard Kalish to complement the indoor

performance venue originally known as "Tilson Music Hall." The stainless steel and aluminum artwork features

translucent tinted urethane elements that evoke the shape of trumpet bells.

Runner: Artist Douglas Kornfeld worked carefully to create a piece that would interact successfully with the ISU

Student Recreation Center and enhance its overall design. He resolved to provide a sculpture with broad public

appeal based on images from ancient Greek vase painting.

Emanating Connections: Chakaia Booker is best known for sculptures and wall reliefs that transform rubber from

used tires into impressive and unique works of art. This piece, like all of her works, is built on a stainless steel

armature. The artist’s use of recycled material led to a partnership between Art Spaces and the Indiana State

University Recycle Center to bring her work to Terre Haute.

A Reading Place: The newest Art Spaces piece on the ISU campus, A Reading Place by Madeline Weiner, creates a welcoming

environment for the university's new residential facility, new Reeve Hall. It provides opportunities for interaction among the three

"bench people" and stacks of books so skillfully carved of Canadian dolomitic limestone.

Lunch will consist of a salad bar, finger sandwiches, drinks, and dessert.

Ernie Pyle, Lunch, and Brooke’s Candy

from 10 AM - 2 PM

Place: Carpool from ISU Parking Lot D

Cost: $20

Maximum: 15


How often do we not appreciate places that are close to home? Have you ever been to the Ernie Pyle Museum or stopped into

Brooke’s Candy? Both are places that people from outside our area drive to see. Now it is our turn, we will spend the morning at

the Ernie Pyle Museum then have lunch at R & R Restaurant and finish with dessert at Brooke’s Candy.

Ernie Pyle was born on August 3, 1900, to a tenant farm family just outside of Dana. He was educated in local schools, and

studied journalism at Indiana University-Bloomington before setting out on his newspaper career. He was on assignment as a war

correspondent when he died on April 18, 1945, after being struck by a Japanese machine gunner’s bullet on Ie Shima, a small

island near Okinawa in the South Pacific. He was 44 years old. The house in which Pyle was born was rescued from demolition in

the mid-1970s and restored by an upstart organization which became the Friends of Ernie Pyle. A local fundraising effort allowed

the house to be moved from its original rural location into the town of Dana. It was dedicated as an Indiana state historic site in

1976.

Brooke’s Candy Company items can now also be found at the French Lick Resort Hoosier Sugar Shop, Sweet Shop in Carmel and

other small shops in Indiana. Their Indiana Artisan Almond Toffee was featured in the Midwest living Magazine under the

discoveries section in 2010 and featured in an Illinois magazine. It was in Grammy Bags for the Stars. They have had people all

the way from California tell them they have seen Brooke’s Candy Co. on TV and had to stop in and say “HI” while on vacation.

Methane Seeps:

Oases in the Deep Sea With Tony Rathburn, ISU Professor of Geology


from 1:30 - 3 PM



Ever heard of Methane seeps? You might have this last

summer. That’s when the national news media featured

stories about a recent discovery of hundreds of methane

seeps where methane gas bubbles up from the sea floor in the

North Atlantic Ocean. The discussion of this scientific find

typically turned to important questions about the methane’s

impact on climate change, but climate aspects are just one of

many interesting and relevant aspects about seafloor methane

seeps.

Approximately 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by

seawater and yet most of the deep-sea floor remains

unexplored. Tony will explain what it is like to explore the

seafloor and will describe his experiences on board the

submersible Alvin. Tony’s talk will focus on seafloor

methane seep habitats and the creatures that live in these

environments. Methane seeps are widespread and in

addition to their linkages to climate change; they are

potential energy resources; have the capacity to cause

Tsunamis; and are home to unique creatures. These creatures

include some of the largest bacteria on the planet; 10-foot

long worms without a mouth, anus or gut; single-celled

organisms that consume complex creatures many times their

size; and bacteria that generate rock.


Water Treatment With Robert Elkins, Wastewater Operator City of

Terre Haute


from 1:30 - 3 PM



The mission of the City of Terre

environmentally friendly

atmosphere. This presentation will

focus on the Wastewater Utility and

will provide knowledge of

wastewater, collections,

maintenance, process and related

fields. The Wastewater Utility is

comprised of three main focus points.

Collections - The main system of pipes, inlets, pumps and

related assets that collect the water, and then direct its path of

flow back to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Process - The ability to utilize lab, chemical, and other

means to identify what we are receiving in our combined

sewer and sanitary lines. The "Process" is setup to allow us

to know what we are receiving, how to treat it, and if we are

receiving too much of a given substance.

Maintenance - This is the network of people, trucks,

equipment and tools that enables Terre Haute to keep a clean

environment. This work force provides methods of capturing

all the waste and water throughout Terre Haute and safely

delivering it to the treatment plant. This work force also

provides the measures for clean up during overflow,

construction of new zones, demolition, and upgrades to

improve flow.

The Changing Media Landscape With Joe Tenerelli, ISU Professor Emeritus

Date/Time: Wednesday, August 5, 2015

from 1:30 - 3 PM



Unlike the old adage “The more things change, the more they

stay the same,” things in the media world have changed

drastically over the course of our lives. Some media have

come and gone (been to a Newsreel theater lately or picked

up a weekly copy of Life, Look, or Saturday Evening Post

Magazine?). New Technologies have replaced old ones both

in form and function. Rules and regulations have had to be

adopted or adapted (what the heck is the fuss over this thing

called Net Neutrality?) in order to address these changes.

This presentation will provide a brief overview of some of the

significant changes we’ve seen in our media landscape and,

hopefully, provide insights as to why they have occurred and

where we can anticipate more.


Indiana Gun Laws With Greg Ewing, Vigo County Sheriff


from 1:30 - 3 PM



Both gun owners and the general public have safety as their

main concern when it comes to gun ownership. It is up to

states to balance those two interests. Gun laws in Indiana

regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and

ammunition in the state of Indiana. Do you know the in and

outs of the laws? Did you know that Indiana honors valid

handgun licenses issued by other states, but not all states

honor Indiana handgun license? Does Indiana law require

handguns to be carried in a concealed or exposed manner?

What are places where it is illegal to carry a handgun even if

that person has a valid handgun license? What are the new

laws in Indiana in regards to guns? What are the different

types of permits and do they vary between types of guns?

Join Vigo County Sheriff, Greg Ewing for an overview of

Indiana’s gun laws.

etc… Our own personal experiences with health care have

also changed or are changing. The question is: how is the

next generation of physicians being trained to take care of

us? In this presentation, we will discuss the increase in

medical schools in the United States, the changes in medical

school training, as well as the changes in health education for

the general public.

Adverse Weather Policy

If the ISU Campus is closed due to adverse weather conditions, OLLI programs are also

canceled. If you are registered for a program you will be notified by phone or e-mail about

the rescheduled program date. If OLLI presentations are canceled, an email will be sent out

and a notice will be on the Program Administrator’s voicemail at 812-237-2336. The

easiest way to determine if your class or trip has been cancelled is to call the OLLI offices

at 812-237-2345. Campus closures are also announced by local media.

Program Cancellation

Although highly unlikely, a program may be cancelled due to under-enrollment or some

other circumstance beyond the Institute’s control. Members will be notified of a

cancellation and have the option of a credit to their account or a refund.

If you need to drop a program, you must cancel three days prior to the date of the program

to receive a refund or credit. Trip cancellations must be made one week prior to a day-trip

to receive a refund or credit. If we can fill your seat for a day-trip, you will receive a full

credit. You will be charged for any program you have not cancelled in the stated time.
