Sept 30 Banned Books Intellectual freedom can exist only where two
essential conditions are met: first, that all individuals have the right to hold
any belief on any subject and to convey their ideas in any form they deem
appropriate; second, that society makes an equal commitment to the right
of unrestricted access to information and ideas regardless of the commu-
nication medium used, the content of the work, and the viewpoints of both
the author and receiver of information. Lou Wetherbee will give a lively
and informal illustrated presentation on the fascinating topic of “banned”
books. Presenter: Lou Wetherbee, library management consultant

Session I: Sep 8 Global Ramifications of Our Artic Ice Age Why does
it matter that Artic sea ice is melting dramatically? It will have a significant
impact on international trade as shipping routes can follow a more efficient
great circle. Russia has claimed that over 1,000,000 square kilometers
are an extension of its territory. This is currently challenged by Canada,
Norway, Denmark and the United States. Russia is rapidly expanding its
military capabilities in the region. Fears of international conflicts are mount-
ing and repercussion may be in the offing. These global ramifications will
be considered in this seminar.
Presenter: Patrick Moore, Richland Government Instructor
Session III: Sep 22 Egypt at the Crossroads Egypt sits at the center of
the Arab world. It also sits in the center of the region’s ongoing conflicts.
What role is Egypt playing in efforts to bring the Israeli/Palestinian conflict
to a peaceful conclusion? Who will replace its aging leader, and how
will the change affect Egypt’s internal and external politics? What role
are Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic groups playing in the coun-
try today? Jim Falk brings the perspective of his career experience and
focus on the Middle East to give us a new outlook on a very old country.
Presenter: Jim Falk, President of the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort
Worth

Wed Oct 28 Good News/Bad News from the 19th Century Snapshots
from Two Great American Authors: Twain and Emerson. First, we will
read a sober treatise from Emerson, “Traveling.” Emerson talks about
how we play games with ourselves and lie to ourselves. Then, we will
crack out some gorgeous Twain texts and see how he cracks up all audi-
ences from his day to ours. “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras
County” is one of the pieces we will study. For Twain, I think you’ll need a
seat belt to keep from falling out of your seat laughing.
Presenter: Steve Lund, Curriculum Director, Lutheran High School of
Dallas
