It is made possible by the substantial support of the Bernard Osher Foundation and Indiana State University that the Institute can off er these unique learning opportunities to residents of the Wabash Valley. Who are OLLI at ISU Members? Our members come from many diff erent backgrounds with one common purpose: they all want to learn.

Members’ Views of OLLIYou cannot know how excited I am about OLLI! Hallelujah “I feel like going on ......” that song just keeps ringing in my head. Sometimes folks just need a boost and I feel OLLI is doing that!

- Anetta Sweatt

I have heard about OLLI for several years. Once I retired, I looked forward to checking it out more. I took advantage of the summer membership so that I could go to the Air Show Preview, and then I saw the immigration class and took it as my free class. I learned SO MUCH. Now I’m taking another class.

OLLI gives us the opportunity to explore topics and do things we might not otherwise do.

- Susan Edmondson

Mike and I really enjoyed the tasting menu luncheon at Piloni’s last fall and would enjoy the experience at any of the ethnic restaurants in the area. We also loved the talks by criminal experts on newsworthy crimes in our area, as well as, those by experts on local history and native plants and wildlife too.

- Mike and Lillie Sekerak

I have learned a great deal about paintings and I like coming to OLLI for the friendships and for the variety of off erings. The lessons from Egypt got me re-interested in Egyptian lore. I like being exposed to knowledge that I have not encountered before.

- Joyce Brosey

This four-day, two- hours-per-day OLLI course on the longest surviving indigenous people of the Amazon will include a close look at the diversity of fl ora and fauna in the Amazon region and how indigenous people such as the Yanomamo (Venezuela and Brazil) and the Shuar Jivaro and Achuar Jivaro (Ecuador and Peru) adapted to the environment and how their holistic healing protocols have played a signifi cant role in the pharmacopeia of the modern “outside” world. The changes these people have undergone from prehistoric to modern times will be examined, including an in-depth look at the headhunting and head-shrinking culture of the Jivaros and the violent culture of their nearby Yanomamo neighbors.

Attendees will be given a “hands-on” opportunity to examine actual artifacts and cultural material from the Amazon region. Film footage used in the classes will include unaltered village scenes, insight into the role of the shaman, and an actual ax fi ght between Yanomamo villagers. It will also show us how the indigenous survivors are currently forming alliances to protect their rain forest and to prevent destructive eff ects of outsiders who are attempting to exploit the oil reserves of their territories.

Attendees will study in depth the fabled Mato Grosso Amazon region. This includes the unsolved mystery of the 1925 disappearance of the British geographer-explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett made famous in the 2009 book and 2016 fi lm The Lost City of Z. The thread of this intriguing mystery will run through the entire four days of the course. Attendees will attempt to apply their newly acquired knowledge to solve this mystery of deadly obsession and to compare their solutions to those of learned scholars.

This short course presents an introduction to the American Supreme Court, including profi les of its current, recent, and historically important members. We will engage in discussions of recent and ongoing controversies in which the Court is involved. Week 1: We will focus on understanding the Court’s role in the Constitutional system, how that role has evolved throughout American history, approaches to understanding Constitutional and statutory interpretation, and the personalities of current, recent, and other important individual justices.

Week 2: We will embark on a “guided tour” of the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth amendment before proceeding to explore and discuss recent cases in religious freedom, freedom of speech, gun rights, and voting rights. Week 3: We will continue our discussion, moving into the Court’s most recent pronouncements in areas such as health care, marriage equality, the death penalty, and immigration. We will conclude by revisiting a consideration of the Court’s role in democratic government. We will attempt to make some “educated guesses” about possible future judicial appointments and some of the policy questions which the Court will likely face in the near future.


CoursesFrom Homeland to

Newland: Little Syria in Terre Haute, Indiana,

1904-1940With Robert Hunter, ISU Emeritus Professor

Date: Tuesdays, November 27 & December 4, 2018Time: 2 - 4 PMPlace: ISU, University Hall Room 102Cost: $10

In the early 1900s, a group of poor, Arabic-speaking farm folk from a small mountain village in Syria left their home and migrated 6,000 miles to a city of miners and railroaders in the industrial Midwest. How were people from a diff erent time, place and culture able to succeed in modern industrial America?

To answer the question, this two-part course will defi ne these newcomers, explore their lives prior to their departure for America, and examine aspects of their life in Terre Haute. Our examination will show that, to a large degree, success in Terre Haute can be attributed to the habits and qualities that the immigrants brought with them from Syria. The story of immigrants in America has often downplayed the homeland as a factor in their success. This course will fi ll a gap in the standard immigrant narrative.

Enduring Myths of Homer’s ODYSSEY

With Don Jennerman, ISU Emeritus Professor

Date: Thursdays, November 1, 8 & 15, 2018Time: 2 - 4 PMPlace: ISU, University Hall Room 212Cost: $15

This class will focus on three aspects of Homer’s Odyssey.

November 1: What Homer InheritedThis session on Homer’s Odyssey will focus on the heroic myths the poet inherited from the Iliad. Besides the narrative and poetry, Homer was given a topography of divine and physical nature; characters divine as well as human; and a relative consistency of motivations and values for both of these spheres.

November 8: The Poem Itself, its PoeticsVergil often is said to have established the rules for the heroic or epic verse. I should say that he was the one who accepted what Homer had established and codifi ed in his Odyssey. Among the features of the Homer epic poem we will cover: The dactylic hexameter, the vowel-emphatic nature of Greek poetry, and the subset myths.

November 15: Lasting Myths and CharactersMany stories and characters, subset within the dominant Odyssean myths, provide us with parallels we can imagine between Homer’s mythic and our own lasting family tales. Homer’s myths often speak to us in voices close to those of our own family tales. We too are myth-makers. Bring a list of some of your own family tales to share with your OLLI friends.

Special EventsMediterranean Dinner

Date: Monday, September 17, 2018Time: 4 - 6 PMPlace: Cackleberries 303 South 7th Street, Terre HauteCost: $25


Although Mediterranean cuisine isn’t governed by a single culture, it is very much the product of cultural infl uence and exchange. The world’s earliest civilizations bordered the Mediterranean Sea, their development bolstered by the rich soil and temperate climate that made agricultural production thrive. As the point of intersection between Asia, Europe, and Africa, with major civilizations located in each area, the Mediterranean was geographically destined to become a major trading hub. Traders exchanged cultural commodities like spices and other food goods, resulting in the wide dissemination of certain ingredients throughout the cuisines of these disparate peoples. It was through this form of cultural interaction that certain fundamental elements of Mediterranean cuisine became popular throughout the region.

Community Theatre of Terre Haute: On Golden Pond

Date: Friday, September 21, 2018Time: 8 - 10 PMPlace: Community Theatre of Terre Haute, 1431 S 25th St., Terre HauteCost: $15Maximum: 20


This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, still as tart-tongued as ever. Ethel, ten years younger, delights in all the small things that have enriched their long life together. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her fi ancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple have longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fi shing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness—and slang—in return. In the end, as the summer wanes, Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together. Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits.
