Margaret JohnsonLet’s Act ActivitiesNew Years Eve, 1:00-1:45 pm, rm 204 Todd Building-UMPut all your fears of getting up in front of people away. Theatrical ex-perience isn’t necessary, but we love those who have had experience too—just bring a desire to act and a willingness to try. We will be “do-ing” a variety of easy, fun exercises, vocal and physical, designed to put you at ease in front of an audience. We’ll begin with group activities and move towards writing our own 1-minute monologues. Margaret F. Johnson taught high school theatre for thirty-seven years. She served as the Montana State Thespian Director from 1972-1992, establishing the state convention held every year in partnership with UM. She direct-ed over 190 productions. She published a book The Drama Teacher’s Survival Guide, and she was honored for her years in theatre at The Odyssee of the Stars.

Yvonne Seng The Mystical Poetry of Rumi & the Whirling Dervishes New Years Eve, 2:00-2:45 pm: rm 203, Todd Building-UM America’s best-selling poet is a 13th-century Persian mystic from Konya, Turkey: Mevlana Rumi. “It is my love which enhances my whole exis-tence,” he wrote. His poetry accompanied a striking spiritual devotion – a harmonious blend of verse, song, dance and music that encouraged a controlled ecstasy. His work inspired the Mevlevi Sufi order, more com-monly known today as the Whirling Dervishes. The class will use audio-visual materials to explore the historical background, poetry, beliefs and music associated with Rumi, the sublime master of love poetry. Yvonne Seng was born in Australia and has traveled and worked widely in the Middle East. The first non-Muslim woman allowed in the religious law archives of Istanbul, she researched the lives of 16th-century women in the time of Suleyman the Magnificent for her doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago. She has worked as an archaeologist and a pro-fessor of Islamic Studies in Washington D.C. and Princeton, and inter-viewed religious leaders and mystics for her book “Men in Black Dresses: A Quest for the Future Among Wisdom Makers of the Middle East.”

MOLLI Sponsored First Night Missoula New Years Eve-Dec. 31

Jon Jackson The Greatest Detective Story of All Time! New Years Eve, 2:00-2:45 pm: rm 204, Todd building-UMThe Greatest Detective Story Of All Time! Forget Edgar Allan Poe’s “Mur-ders In the Rue Morgue,” or Conan Doyle’s “The Hound of the Basker-villes.” The true master is an American who lives in Brooklyn ... and his name is largely unknown to a great mass of mystery fans. If you love detective novels, you must love Paul Auster. “Jon A. Jackson is a master mystery writer with plenty of action, lots of low key black humor, and a per-fect ear for the nuances of criminal speech.” - Chicago Tribune. Jon Jackson has published 11 novels. He has written articles on a wide variety of topics ranging from food, to golf, to fishing, and even including literature. Jon re-ceived a B.A. in 1970 from UM. He earned his M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in 1973. He is also a radio presenter for KUFM – Montana Public Radio – where he hosts two radio shows, ‘The Food Guys’ and ‘Jazz Ses-sions.’ Jon was born in Michigan and has lived in Montana since 1968.

Hal StearnsBig Sky Tales New Years Eve, 3:00-3:45 pm: rm 203, Todd Building-UMFrom Indian tribes to politicians, explorers and writers, soldiers and ath-letes and cowboys, Montana is loaded with fascinating stories. Hal Stearns will whet your curiosity with a few of his favorites. Hal Stearns is a native of Harlowton with generations of ranchers, homesteaders and newsmen in his family. He has a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame an M.A. and doctorate from UM. He taught for 34 years in Germany, at Sentinel High School and UM.

Gary Hawk On the Verge of the New Year: A Community Conversation about ForgivenessNew Years Eve, 4:00-4:45 pm: rm 204,Todd Building-UMPresenting ideas on the value of forgiveness on the cusp of the New Year, his presentation will be based on his experience teaching forgiveness and reconciliation for twelve years at The University of Montana. After introduc-ing a helpful theoretical framework, Gary Hawk would like to engage the audience in a conversation about forgiveness. Together we might explore topics such as: Who benefits from forgiveness? Is forgiveness a decision or a process? How does power affect forgiveness? Why is it crucial to distinguish between forgiveness and reconciliation? What stories can the community tell about forgiveness, its effect on relationships, and its pos-sible outcome in reconciliation? Gary W. Hawk is an adjunct assistant pro-fessor in the Davidson Honors College where he teaches Ways of Know-ing, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation, and other courses.

Herbert Swick [30 Seats]Doctors & Patients: The Healing Experience through LiteratureThursday, 9:00 am-10:30 am, Todd Building-UMTEXT: TBAEveryone, at least occasionally, visits the doctor. Seeing your physician can evoke many feelings: anxiety, relief, fear, a sense of hope, a sense of healing. The relationship between patient and doctor can be a very special one indeed. This seminar class will explore the healing experi-ence through reading and discussing short, accessible works of literature including short stories, poems and plays. Dr. Swick is the former director of the Institute of Medicine and Humanities, a joint program of The Univer-sity of Montana and St. Patrick Hospital and Health Sciences Center. He has taught for more than forty years, including courses in literature and medicine at the Davidson Honors College, St. Patrick Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin. In recognition of his many contributions, Dr. Swick was named a national honoree of the Gold Humanism Honors Society in 2006.

Don SimmonsWhat to Listen For In MusicThursday, 9:00 am-10:30 am, Music Hall-UMTEXT: What to Listen for in Music, by Aaron CoplandA guide for students wanting to develop basic music listening skills. It will begin with a review of the basic elements of music and then look at the ways in which composers create musically interesting works through the repetition and contrast of those materials. Both recorded and live musi-cal examples will be used to explore ways of listening. While some basic analysis of various style periods in music literature will be presented it is not a music history course. It is, in fact, an effort to explore the question implied in the title -- “What to Listen for in Music”-- so you can increase your own enjoyment and understanding of music. Don Simmons com-pleted his undergraduate degree in music at Knox College then earned his graduate degree at the University of Illinois. He began his teaching career in the public schools of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, joined The Ohio State University faculty in 1964 and came to The University of Montana to chair the Music Department in 1973. He retired as Associate Dean of the School of Fine Arts in 1993. His areas of special interest have been choral music, teacher education, and music administration.

Thursday Courses

Father Jim HoganIgnored At Our Own PerilThursday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm, Todd Building-UMThe American media reports various moral/ethical issues that concern us as a nation. These issues are then ignored or forgotten as if they have little or no consequence for us. This course will provide a forum for open and non-confrontational discussion of some of those issues. The “Great Sages” of the Axial Age (including the Hebrew prophets, the Christian bible and the Koran) will provide the foundation for our consideration of some of the moral/ethical issues that concern us as a nation. Father Jim Hogan is an Anaconda native and has been a Roman Catholic priest for forty-seven years. On campus he was an adjunct professor teaching “Gandhi, Martin Luther King: The Ethics of Nonviolence.” In addition, he was chaplain of the Griz football team for nineteen years.

Diane Smith Letters From YellowstoneThursday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm, Todd Building TEXT: Books will be on reserve in the UM-Mansfield LibraryYellowstone Park is one of the jewels of the National Park System. The park is rich in geology, natural history, and human history. Participants in this course will read and discuss a variety of sources drawn from his-tory, science, and literature, with the goal of developing an enhanced, multi-disciplinary understanding of Yellowstone and its place within the national park system. Historian and author Diane Smith has written two novels. The first, Letters from Yellowstone follows a scientific field study in Yellowstone Park in the 1890s. It was featured as the 2005 One Book Montana selection, and won the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Associa-tion award for fiction. Letters from Yellowstone will provide much of the source for this course. Smith’s second novel, Pictures from an Expedi-tion, which won the first ever Montana Book Award, chronicles the his-tory of scientists, artists and Civil War veterans along the Missouri River right after the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

Linda Juneau & Vernon CarrollMontana’s Indigenous PeoplesThursday, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm, Todd BuildingThis course will discuss the history, cultures, religions and philosophies of the twelve Indian Tribes of Montana. Students will gain an under-standing of the contemporary lives of each of the tribes, as well as the historical and cultural landscapes that contributed to their longevity in the state. Special attention will be given to geography, oral history, lan-guage, education and the sovereignty and special relationships with the State of Montana and the federal government. Linda Juneau, Tsa-nii-ta-pii-akii [Woman who Wonders], serves as a Tribal Liaison to address collaborative partnerships and communications between UM and the twelve Tribes of Montana. As a member of the Blackfeet Tribe, Linda holds a degree in Hospitality Management from Blackfeet Community College; a BA in Native American Studies and an MA in Social/Cultural Anthropology from UM. Her areas of interest and experience are in tribal histories developed through oral and written traditions, and research that leads to effective social and educational programs for the Blackfeet tribe. Vernon Carroll is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe and a long time resident of the Blackfeet Reservation as a cattle rancher. He is the Interpretive Specialist for Montana State Parks in Missoula and is a former director of the Glacier County Historical Museum in Cut Bank.

Carroll is also co-author of the Indian Education for All Curriculum for Montana State Parks.

DennisO’Donnell [30 seats]Reality Bites: The Economics of Now!Thursday, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm, Todd Building The current state of the United States and global economies can best be described as chaotic. The implications for individuals are profound and disturbing regardless of age or location. This course will examine basic economic principles such as the Law of Unintended Consequences, the conflict between public and private goods, the status of 19th Century ideology as a useful intellectual framework for contemporary challenges, and the detachment of financial markets from real economic behavior. Our discussions will focus on understanding the implications of such is-sues for nations, states, cities and individuals. Dr. Dennis J. O’Donnell was a Professor of Economics at UM from 1974 to 2007. He has a PhD. from Penn State. He specialized in research and teaching of economic development issues in the US and Asia. He served as Mansfield Profes-sor of Modern Asian Affairs, and worked with the University of Hawaii

and The London School of Economics on various projects. He is the re-cipient of the John Ruffatto Memorial Award (2004) and the Distinguished Service to International Education Award (2005).

David Emmons Myth & Reality in Montana & Western HistoryThursday, 6:00 pm-7:30 pm, Todd Building-UMAs the historian Richard White has written, the West is the “most imag-ined” region in America. For “imagined” read “invented” or “mythologized.” In Dorothy Johnson’s novel The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, one of the characters, an Eastern newspaperman, is told that “when the truth gets in the way of the legend, print the legend.” This class will explore the “myths of concern” that so distorted--and still distort--our understanding of western America. Special attention will be paid to Montana’s history, which may be more myth-encrusted than that of any other western state. David Emmons, Emeritus Professor of History UM. He is the author of The Butte Irish and was the senior historical expert and consultant for Arco and the recently completed superfund case.

Friday Courses Con KellyHealth Care Ethics: Oxymoron or Lens on Critical Issues of Living & Dying Friday, 9:00 am-10:30 am, Todd Building-UMThe U.S. health care system is structured to provide direct care for acute needs. This orientation has created a culture that is long on action and short on reflection. This course will provide the opportunity to examine and reflect on a number of issues likely to impact each of us personally or someone close to us. An introduction to health care ethics will offer perspectives from which to pursue questions such as complicated end-of-life choices (Whose life is it anyway?), assisted suicide (Is it coming to Montana?), in an Obama presidency, (Will we need a bail out for health care too?), and the impact of new technologies (Because we can do something, should we?) Con Kelly is an attorney with a background in theology and philosophy. He has been active in the field of health care ethics for over twenty-five years. A Montana native, he has served as health care ethicist for large, multi-state health care systems and is currently a program consultant for Centura Health System, Denver, Colorado.

Fred McGlynnWhat is Existentialism?Friday, 9:00 am-10:30 am, Todd Building-UMThis class examines the basic notions that came to be identified as “Ex-istentialism” after WWII, in both their cultural and philosophic context. Ideas will be examined in the thought of major 20th century philosophers as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, and Camus, which came to be identified with the cultural phenomenon known as “existentialism.” The course will also utilize literary and artistic examples which were un-derstood to be “existentialist” in their outlook. This course presupposes no prior knowledge of philosophy. Fred McGlynn, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at UM. His courses on existentialism, tragedy and other topics always drew a large and enthusiastic group of students, as did his previous MOLLI classes.

“Each course I take adds an extra dimension to my life so by the time that I am 80, I should be quite ‘thick.’”-- MOLLI members comments

“Excellent speakers-good group-great enthusiasm of speakers & participants. I would love to partici-pate in another MOLLI program this year!’”-- MOLLI members comments-Butte & Anaconda Bus Trip

Ray RishoCulinary Culture IIFriday, 11:00 am-12:30 pm, Todd Building-UMIn his popular MOLLI course, Culinary Culture, Ray Risho explored how cuisine was a “cultural imprint” of peoples and regions. Now, he expands this idea by considering cooking mediums, especially olive oil and but-ter; wine essentials; sauces and stocks; condiments and flavoring. Ray will also share his knowledge of global cuisine by delving into subjective recipe analysis and interpretation, menu design and balance, and the art of mis en place (where cuisine begins.) Ray Risho, retired restaurateur and founder of the celebrated Perugia Restaurant, is an independent scholar and chef who has spent a lifetime studying global cuisine. Risho has presented more than ninety highly acclaimed teaching dinners, an original concept titled “Ports of Call,” featuring classic menus from around the world. The Missoula Cultural Council, in May 2008, awarded Ray and his wife Susie the 2008 “Cultural Achievement Award” for supporting the arts and enhancing the quality of life in Missoula.

Richard ErbThe Global Financial Crisis: Can Humpty Dumpty be Put Back Together?Friday, 11:00 am-12:30 pm, Todd Building-UMDuring the summer of 2007 the first signs of a global financial crisis emerged when a large French bank, BNP Paribas, announced that it had suspended some of its activity because of problems in the U.S. subprime mortgage sector. Other banks and financial institutions in Europe and the United States, including Montana’s state-owned Short Term Investment Pool (STIP), also began to publicize financial problems. Governments and central banks responded with extraordinary financial support. But the fi-nancial problems spread and intensified quickly and dramatically, so that by late 2008, fear turned into panic and financial markets around the world suffered major declines. Issues to be explored in the seminar include the following: (a) What caused the financial crisis? (b) Who is to blame – is any one to blame? (c) Why did a mortgage sector crisis in the United States start in Europe and spread around the world? (d) How is the finan-cial sector crisis affecting other economic activity in the United States and abroad? (e)What tentative lessons can be drawn from this experience? Richard D Erb is a Research Professor in the Economics Department and teaches courses on globalization, the European Union, and international money and financial flows. His extensive monetary and financial back-ground includes public sector service at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the White House, the US Treasury Department and the International Monetary Fund. He has a PhD in economics from Stanford University.

Kate Gadbow [16 seats]What If? Turning Life into FictionFriday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm, Todd Building-UMThis entry-level fiction workshop is designed to develop skills in read-ing, writing, revising and responding to short fiction. We will read and discuss published stories as writers, and we will learn to craft our own short stories using life experiences as starting points. Kate Gadbow’s stories and novel excerpts have appeared in “Epoch”, “Northwest Re-view”, “CutBank, Talking River”, and other journals. She co-edited The Quill Reader, published in the spring of 2000 by Harcourt Brace. Her novel, Pushed to Shore, won the 2001 Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fic-tion, sponsored by Sarabande Books. She recently retired as director of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Montana in Missoula, where she lives and writes.

Bill RaoulGreat Silent Films from the “Good Ol’ Days”Friday, 1:00 pm-4:00 pm, Todd Building-UMFrom their early beginnings in the 19th century, motion pictures evolved quickly as a new and exciting form of art and entertainment that captured the public’s imagination. Filmmakers became expert storytellers through light, shadow and action. Then came the “talkies.” Did the introduction of sound in the late 1920s stop the real creative work and only encour-age technical perfection? This class includes viewing and discussion of six entertaining films from the 1910s through the 1920s that put the question to the test. Bill Raoul taught Theatre Design at the University of Montana for more than 25 years. His appreciation of silent films began in the 1960s and has lasted for more than 40 years.
