Hayes and Jack Willingham, presenters; coordinator TBA; Tuesday,
2:30-4:00 p.m., Best Western) In a world grown smaller, China
nonetheless seems to remain as most of us have always seen it: a land

is written for communication and enjoyment. This happens when we
read it alone, by the lake, or in a group around a table. The purpose

appreciate poetry by remembering that it is fun to play with

if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.”

TELLING – A08428 (Gibbs
Couch, coordinator; Tuesday, 10:15-11:45 p.m., Best Western) Do
you recall a time when listening to a story told by a parent,
grandparent, or teacher was a gift? Family stories, folk tales,

TAI
CHI FOR ARTHRITIS (BEGINNERS), HEALTH AND FUN – A08429 (Connie
Salts, presenter; Tuesday, 8:30-9:15 a.m., Best Western) Created
by Dr. Paul Lam and a team of tai chi and medical specialists, Tai
Chi for Arthritis is easy and enjoyable to learn, bringing with it
many health benefits safely and quickly. Medical studies have shown
this program helps to reduce pain significantly and improves many
aspects of health through increased muscle strength, flexibility,
stamina, as well as improved relaxation, balance and posture. For
this reason, arthritis foundations around the world are giving it
their full support. Although especially effective for arthritis, it
is also suitable for anyone interested in beginning tai chi. Wear
loose comfortable clothing and flat shoes suitable for walking or
exercising.

THE
AGING PROCESS, SENSATIONS AND PERCEPTIONS – A08431 (Charles
Knecht, coordinator, Monday, 2:30–4:00 p.m., Best
Western) Behavior is based on external stimuli but also the
perception of those stimuli in the brain. These perceptions may be
innate or acquired. This course, based on The Teaching Company
sessions taught by Professor Francis Colarita, emphasizes how the
process of aging influences the sensory world and our
perceptions based on sight, hearing, smell, taste, and other
sensations. The emphasis is on factors that may affect our
perception and therefore our behavior. We may be amazed on how
age affects us in so many ways.
THE
HEALTH CARE DILEMMA – A08432 (Marilyn
Garrett, coordinator, Tuesday, 10:15-11:45 a.m., Best Western) With
health care costs skyrocketing and a huge and growing number of
Americans without any health coverage, the American health care
system is long overdue for some reforms. We will explore how we have
arrived at our system of health care, how it is different from
others in the developed world and examine some proposals. We
will have outside speakers, lectures, a video and discussion. No
textbook or reading is required but some resources will be available.
THE
ROARING TWENTIES – A08434 (John
Tidwell, coordinator, Monday, 10:15-11:45 a.m., Best Western) What’s
so special about the “Roaring Twenties”? Who is the first
person you think of when you hear “Roaring Twenties”? -
Al Capone? Louis Armstrong? “Big Bill” Tilden? Margaret
Gorman? What about these terms - prohibition, depression, bathtub
gin, moonshine, speak easies, and by all means, FLAPPERS? And who can
forget these events - The Sacco-Vanzetti Case and the “Monkey
Trial” featuring William Jennings Bryan, Clarence Darrow and,
of course, John Scopes? How about the deaths of Vladimir Lenin, Harry
Houdini and Rudolph Valentino? How can we forget women gaining long
ignored rights, Benito Mussolini becoming Prime Minister of Italy,
Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch, Lucky Lindy and the Spirit of St.
Louis, Mahatma Gandhi being sent to jail and Queen Elizabeth II’s
birth? This class will be informative and entertaining.

THE
TUDOR WOMEN: HENRY VIII, HIS MOTHER, HIS SISTERS, HIS WIVES, HIS
DAUGHTERS – A08435 (Reynolds
McLeod, presenter, Tuesdays, 2:30-4:00 p.m., Best Western) The
Tudors were surrounded by strong-willed, often very intelligent, and
certainly very determined women who often played an important role in
shaping politics and religion, but also in influencing the course of
historical events. We start with Henry’s mother, Elizabeth of
York; and then look at his sisters, Mary and Margaret; his six wives
in their fascinating glory; his two daughters Elizabeth I and Mary.
These were women of character, frequently of tragic proportions, and
certainly of considerable historical interest. We will survey them in
turn, look at their personalities and their role in the Tudor world.
No text; no outside reading.
THIS
I BELIEVE: WRITING, SHARING, TELLING – A08436 (Mary
Belk, coordinator, Tuesday 2:30-4:00 p.m., Best Western) Based on
the NPR series and best selling book, this class will encourage
members to write essays about their own strongly held beliefs, ideas,
opinions, and dreams. Following the guidelines for the series,
statements will be brief, under 500 words. In introducing the
original series, host Edward R. Murrow said, “Never has
the need for personal philosophies of this kind been so urgent.”
This statement is as true today as in the 1950s. We’ll support
each other in the work of crafting very personal pieces, about our
individual beliefs. Once written, we’ll have the opportunity to
share them with the group orally, and in compilation book. Text, This
I Believe, available from NPR or from the AU Bookstore. Outside

C. McPherson, coordinator, Tuesday, 12:45-2:15 p.m., Best

Dean, presenter, Friday, 8:30-10:00 a.m., Opelika, Southern

Walker, presenter, Monday, 12:45-2:15 p.m., Best Western) In this
Teaching Company DVD series, Professor Fears will continue reviewing
the decisions made by great nations and important religious, so that
we may now benefit by their successes and avoid their mistakes. He
emphasizes that in order to do so we must learn to think
historically. The last eight lectures relate to American history, and
warn us the US is subject to the same lessons of history as other
great powers.
WRITING
OUR LIVES – A08442 (Cathy
Buckhalt, instructor; Terry Ley, coordinator; Tuesday, 8:30–10:00
a.m., Best Western) “Our lives are like a patchwork quilt,
and it is only in the evening of life that we can see the pattern of
what we have woven” (Richard L. Morgan, Saving Our Stories: A
Legacy We Leave). We all have stories to tell! Here is an opportunity
to reclaim your memories, write about them, and share them with a
receptive audience of peers. We will write each Tuesday morning,
responding to stimulus prompts provided by the instructor. Text:
Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During
the Great Depression, Mildred Armstrong Kalish. Recommended homework:
