Butte & Anaconda--Montana in a Fedora and WingtipsPre-course: Monday, Sept. 8, 3:00 pm-5:00 pm, Todd Building-UMBus Tour: Tuesday, Sept. 9, 8:00 am, meet at the East Broadway Park n’ Ride lot return to Missoula 9:00 pm Course fee: $65.00** please bring money for lunch & dinner. This is a moderate level activity--ability to get on and off the bus and walk a cou-ple of blocks-- if you need assistance, please contact the MOLLI staff. Had Charlie Russell ever set up his easel on Big Butte or
Smelter Hill, he would have been overlooking a differ-ent landscape--urban and heavily industrial--and a
different set of inhabitants--a wild diversity of peo-ple from every corner of the world. We’re going to
take a look at this “alternative Montana,” its banks, churches, fraternal halls, ethnic societies, hoist
houses, gallus frames, and memorials. This is not a trip to Marlboro County. This ex-
citing experience will be led by histo-rian professor David Emmons, Butte
natives Pat and Kitte Robins, and Anaconda native Dannette Fad-ness. David Emmons, Emeritus
professor of History UM. He started teaching at UM in 1967. He is the author of The Butte Irish and was the senior historical expert and consultant for Arco and the recently completed superfund case.
MOLLI is working in collaboration with MSU Billings life-long learning program to offer a MOLLI course to Billings via video conferencing and a MSU Billings lifelong learning course to MOLLI via video conferencing in the state of the art video conferencing room 104 in the Gallagher Building-UM. This exciting new format can help more individuals in Montana engage in lifelong learning with MOLLI. For more information contact the MOLLI staff at 243.2905.
Hal Stearns (Professor at UM video conferencing to Billings) My Special MontanaMondays: Oct. 6, 13, 20, 273:00 pm- 5:00 pm: Gallagher, room 104-UMWhy do we love the “magic” that is Montana? We live on a land that grabs us and just won’t let go. We admire the rug-ged, persistent, hardworking folks that made and make this
place. We are fascinated with our relatively short but rich history, the vastness of the landscape, gripping stories of adventure, our heroes and villains. The tales and trails from Alzada to Yaak, from Monida to Westby, the Yellowstone Country and the Bitterroot will “hook” us even more in ap-preciating our Big Sky. 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 and an M.A. and doctorate from UM. He taught for 34 years in Germany, at Sentinel High School and UM. Hon-ored as Montana’s Teacher of the Year and Outstanding U.S. History Teacher, he was a recipient of two National Endow-ment of the Humanities grants and was a Keizai Koho Fel-low to Japan. He also served in the Montana Army National Guard for 35 year attaining the rank of Brigadier General.
Dr. Walt Gulick (Professor at Billings video conferencing to UM) Losing Moses on the Freeway: The Ten Commandments in AmericaThursday, Oct. 16, 23, 30, & Nov. 611:15 am-12:45 pm, Gallagher, room 104-UM Text - Losing Moses on the Freeway by Chris Hedges. Please read the Preface and first chapter prior to the first day of class. Why should all Americans care about the Ten Command-ments? What role do they have in contemporary America? Join Professor Emeritus Walt Gulick in a discussion about Chris Hedges, a former foreign correspondent for the New York Times and Harvard Divinity School graduate, book. Explore how commandments hold our communities to-gether. “They lead us to love, the essence of life,” writes the author. Hedges believes that the commandments hold out to us the possibility of love -- and love means living for oth-ers. The commandments are guideposts that bring us back to the right path, he writes. They call us to sacrifice. Compel-lingly, he urges us to abandon the culture of self; to live “not by exalting our life but by being willing to lose it.” Dr. Walt Gulick is an Emeritus Professor of Phi-losophy at MSU Billings.

James & Donna KochHistory and Literature of WWIIThursday, 9:00 am- 10:30 am, Todd Building UMHistorians and novelists are storytellers in the best sense of the term, so their interaction on the subject of WWII is interesting and enlightening. In the first half of each class we will talk about what actually happened, consider how these events shaped the world we live in today, and exam-ine how our views of the war have changed over time. In the second half, we will survey many of the novels in which the War is a setting, catalyst, and even a character to dis-cover how literature supports, creates, enhances, or alters our knowledge of history. No outside reading is required; the class will become acquainted with historical texts and novels, and students may read along or later as they wish. James V. Koch is Board of Visitors Professor Economics at Old Dominion University and served as President of that institution, 1990-2001, after serving as President of UM, 1986-1990. Over the past 20 years, he has taught the His-tory of World War II at Ball State University, Old Dominion, University of Montana and the General Douglas Mac Ar-thur Foundation. Donna L. Koch has taught both English and American history courses at Ball State University and Tidewater Community College; at the latter, she was also an assistant to the president. She currently leads book discus-sion groups for the Montana Committee for the Humani-ties and has team-taught the WWII History and Novels for the General Douglas Mac Arthur Foundation and MOLLI.at UM. She is co-author of Interpersonal Conflict (Mc-Graw-Hill, in preparation for the 8th. Ed.) Since the 80’s she has worked as a clinical psychologist and communica-tion consultant in Missoula. For the past twenty years, she has led renewal retreats in Montana and Central America, in which personal writing is always a main feature.
