Treat
Yourself
Well!
Membership in the Osher Institute is one of the best gifts you can give yourself
and those you care about.
Everyone knows learning is good for your brain, but is something being good
for you enough motivation to do it? Maybe, maybe not, but something being
convenient and enjoyable provides plenty of motivation and the Osher Institute
program offerings are both.
Courses
Taking classes at Osher offers the best return for the
time and money you invest. Tuition is very affordable and
scholarships are available for those for whom money
would be a barrier. Classes are held at the Commander’s
House in Fort Douglas and other nearby locations - all
easily accessible with free parking! Most classes meet
for 90 minutes, once per week, for 6 weeks, allowing
plenty of time for other interests. Osher instructors teach
with both style and substance. They are able to entertain
as well as educate. And when you take classes you are
eligible to obtain a U of U student ID card that brings
many more opportunities and benefits to you.
Special Activities
The brown bag Lunch and Learn lecture series and the
Special Events are included in the basic membership
(just $30 per year). The weekly Lunch and Learn lectures
at the Commander’s House in Fort Douglas can be a
nice intermezzo between classes and the Special Events
provide a way to learn about the surrounding community
and to stay connected when classes are not in session.
People
Osher members are dynamic, interesting people who
each bring a lifetime of experience to every conversation. You will meet new, interesting people and may
even renew a long lost connection from your past.

For millions of people, acupuncture is accepted as a treatment for everything from hot flashes to pain management, and it now appears alongside standard medical
methodologies in the U.S. It is offered as a complementary therapy at the Huntsman Cancer Institute for help in
controlling the symptoms and side effects of both cancer
and the general course of treatment for it. This class
introduces students to the history and philosophy of acupuncture, from its origin in Oriental medicine to modern
day applications. There will be plenty of time allowed for
discussion, including new ideas about utilizing acupuncture to address today’s core health problems.
What’s more fun than to curl up to watch a good mystery
movie like an Alfred Hitchcock classic? We will explore
several of Hitchcock’s more important films including his
British classics The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes, and his

win the Oscar for Best Picture). We will also learn about
such masterpieces as Strangers on a Train, Psycho, The
Birds, Rear Window, North by Northwest, and will take an

We will examine Hitchcock’s collaboration with composer
Bernard Herrmann, whose scores meshed perfectly with
Hitchcock’s camera work. DVD’s of Hitchcock films and
radio plays will be available for class members to check out.

The shadow of the Cold War was a constant presence
in our childhoods. Now, as adults, we can examine
America’s involvement more objectively, discussing
the continued influence this period has had on world
affairs. We will focus on traditional views regarding
American foreign policy and recent revisions to theories
that guided Americans during the period. We will look
at events from the end of World War I to the breakup
of the Soviet Union, exploring American reactions to
4
presumed Communist provocations. This will include
moments in the Korean and Vietnam wars that demonstrate how deeply American policy makers believed in
the containment policy and the domino theory.

Either Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales
(Selected): An Interlinear Translation ISBN-13: 9781438000138 OR The Canterbury Tales: Fifteen Tales and
the General Prologue ISBN-13: 978-0393925876
An Introduction to Chaucer’s
Canterbury Tales
Composed in Middle English around 1400, Geoffrey
Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales consists of 24 tales
presented as a story-telling contest among pilgrims
on their way to Canterbury to visit a saint’s shrine.
This course will tackle four of the most famous tales,
along with the General Prolog, as much as possible in
the original language. To accomplish this, students
will be offered the choice of using either an “interlinear” version, in which each line of the original is
followed by a prose translation into modern English,
or a Middle English version with extensive notes and
glosses for unfamiliar words.

Studying laughter is not a laughing matter. Humor is a serious issue. Both are essential for human survival— physically,
emotionally, and socially. Laughter keeps us alive. Humor
keeps us informed. Humor not only reflects socio-political
values, dynamics, conflicts, and challenges experienced in
the multiethnic, multicultural, and multilingual complexity
of the American “melting pot” but also perpetuates existing
stereotypes, inequalities, and perceptions. We will explore
the role of both laughter and humor in our modern society,
with some references to other cultures.

The key to becoming a proficient bird watcher is understanding the general impression of size and shape (also
known by the acronym “GISS”) of the bird. These are
characteristics that enable bird watchers to accurately
identify the bird. Through in-class lessons and field trips
students will develop skills that allow them to classify
and identify birds based on plumage, song, behavior,
habitat, and season. In-class lessons focus on identifying birds, selecting good gear, getting involved in local
birding groups, participating in citizen science, and becoming familiar with online and print resources. Three
field trips to various habitats reinforce the learning.

CURIOUS
Jim and Elfie Wright come from completely separate
worlds. Jim was born in Nebraska and grew up at the
base of the Uinta Mountains in the rugged railroad
town of Evanston, Wyoming. He loved school
growing up. Well, he loved football, basketball, and
hanging out with his friends. He saw the classwork as
the price he had to pay for the fun parts of school.
Elfie grew up in the City of Music, Vienna,
Austria—except the soundtrack to her early school
years wasn’t the stirring strings of the symphony or
the smooth, silky voice of an opera soprano. The
sounds of her childhood were the air-raid sirens
and falling bombs of World War II. Elfie has always
loved music and history, but the hard circumstances
created by the war made it difficult for her to
embrace school.
Jim finished high school in Evanston, joined the
Navy, and fought in the Korean War. When he
came back from the war, he got a job in the railroad
industry and made a career of it, working his way up
to engineer before retiring a few years ago.
Elfie moved from Austria to the completely strange
world of Utah in 1965. She credits Maurice Abravanel
and his symphony orchestra for saving her life. The
beautiful music of the symphony, which at the time
was performed in the Salt Lake Tabernacle, soothed
her soul and made the transition to America easier for
her to handle. She didn’t even mind having to sit on
the hard wooden benches in the old tabernacle, as long
as she could bask in the glorious music.
Elfie worked in the economics department at the
University of Utah and, later, at the University
Hospital. It was during her time at the University
when she met Jim and they were married.
Elfie knew many professors at the U and heard that
several of them had started teaching for something
called Osher. When she checked into the program,
she was instantly impressed with the variety of
courses available. In fact, so many of the courses
sounded interesting that she and Jim decided to
enroll immediately.
The Wrights have discovered that their passion for
learning has grown exponentially since their high school
days and Elfie knows exactly why. “When we were young
and in school, we had to take certain classes whether we
were interested in the subject or not. With Osher, we get
to take the exact classes we want to take. This changes
your attitude about learning and makes it fun.”
Jim and Elfie also enjoy the interaction they have with
Osher members, who they describe as, “a fascinating
group of like-minded thinkers who love to learn.”
“The classroom discussions between the students
and the instructors are always quite interesting,”
Jim said. “I think it’s because the instructors
are so well-prepared. They make it real easy to
ask questions and then they always have a good
explanation for everything.”
The Wrights have also enjoyed the Lunch & Learn
lectures, Osher Special Events, and classes where
they’ve been able to take field trips to fascinating
locations in and around the state.
“There’s so much to learn about,” said Elfie. “As
we get older, we need to remain curious about the
world we live in. Osher helps Jim and I keep our
minds going. Without the Osher classes, I’m not
sure that we’d make the effort to learn on our own.”
Turns out that this couple who grew up worlds
apart on different continents has much in common,
including a zest for life and a deep love for learning.

The 2016 presidential election will soon be upon us.
Already, we’ve witnessed heated debates about economic
policy and the state of the economy. This class will
discuss what’s been happening in the economy and give
some thought to the priorities of the candidates competing for the presidency. We will examine growth rates,
employment and unemployment trends, interest rates,
financial markets, the global economy, and other aspects
of the current situation. We’ll look for insights into how
we’re doing and where we’re going, and the challenges
that will face the new administration.

Current Issues in American Public Affairs
and Politics
Examine the behind-the-scenes details—strategies, personalities, power, and politics—that influence stories in
The New York Times about current political and govern-
mental events. The Times provides many issues for lively
discussion. In addition, The Washington Post, CNN,
and National Public Radio will be sources for breaking
stories. News articles and videos seed the discussion but
they often grow into entirely different topics based on
student interest and participation. Students are encouraged to ask hard questions, and to participate actively and
respectfully in class discussion.

We seem to live in a world of “fear of the unknown.” Please join Rev. Janda in learning more
about Islam. Muslims are connected to the other
People of the Book—Jews and Christians—and this
class will attempt to weed out the misconceptions
that have arisen in our recent history. We will also
explore the different groups, such as the Taliban and
ISIL, that use their religion to promote violence.
My hope is that we will find more common ground
uniting us, rather than the negative things that
divide us in the world today.

As the son of a military man, Steve Hall attended
10 different schools by the time he graduated
from high school. His own 26-year career in the
Air Force, before retiring as a colonel, kept him
constantly on the move as well. The frequent change
of circumstances helped Steve learn how to make
a strong entrance and quickly form meaningful
connections. In fact, Steve makes a big impression
wherever he goes, particularly when teaching one of
his fabled World Word II courses at Osher.
Credit his popularity to his engaging
personality, his genuine interest in the
opinions of others, and his utter commitment
to teaching WWII history. There may not be
a more knowledgeable WWII expert in the
country—and certainly not one with Steve’s
enthusiasm who can take the myriad of complex
issues surrounding WWII and make them
understandable.
MMITED
While Steve teaches his courses to various groups,
he loves his Osher classes the most. “Osher members
are truly exceptional. They understand consequences
because they’ve experienced both success and failure.
The decisions made in WWII carried incredible
consequences that could have led to devastating
failure. Younger students sometimes can’t grasp the
weight of those decisions, but Osher members do.
And they ask questions that make me work harder to
seek out more information to provide answers. I’ve
become a better teacher thanks to Osher.”

Discussion will include the historical period from 1840 until 1910, when the practice was removed from the canon of
Mormon theology, and continue to the emergence of various current sects. Lecturers will include historical, cultural,
legal perspectives, and individuals living in polygamous

The Servant Presidents: Leadership Lessons from Washington, Lincoln, and
Franklin Roosevelt
In this election year of 2016, it is worthwhile to consider
what are the qualities that we seek in our leaders. Using
examples from the lives of our three greatest presidents,
the course will address this fundamental question. The
premise of the course is that the great presidents saw
themselves mostly as servants, whose primary duty was to
ensure that the highest priority needs of the people were
addressed. Although these needs varied during the time
of each of these leaders, the standard was that expressed
in the Preamble of the Constitution, to “... secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Signet (or Folger) edition of plays.
During the period from 1960 through 1975 there
were several distinct but related social protest movements: movements for civil rights for minorities, for
women’s rights, against the war in Vietnam, against
U.S. imperialism generally, and for cultural, social
and individual change. These various movements
led to powerful conservative reactions that were so intense (and often violent) that at times (e.g. the Democratic national convention of 1968 in Chicago) the
United States seemed to be on the verge of a second
civil war. This class examines the circumstances and

Women Artists from the Medieval to
the Present Day
Today it is acknowledged that, while women have been
involved in creating art throughout history, their work
has traditionally not been acknowledged or appreciated
as well as the work of their contemporary male counterparts. Some of these women, like Artemisia Genti-
leschi and Sarah Peale, had famous fathers who taught
and guided them. Others, like Camille Claudel and
Suzanne Valadon, struggled to be heard in an overwhelming male society. This course will explore some
of these “forgotten” female artists, as well as some of
those who managed to build well-respected careers,
such as Georgia O’Keefe and Nancy Holt.

Many of us think of WWII as having taken place primarily where the US and British forces fought. We know little
about the campaigns in Eastern Europe, even though the vast
preponderance of fighting was done there. This class focuses
on the events of the Eastern European campaign, and the decisions that led to victory. We will carefully examine the pros and
cons of major decisions and why the final decision was what it
turned out to be. We will examine Operation Barbarossa, the
Battle of Stalingrad, and the amazing resilience shown by the
Soviets. We will also discuss topics such as the role played by
Soviet women.

AWESO
Pam Wilson has always been a person of
diverse interests. Growing up in Salt Lake,
she enjoyed English and business classes in
school and danced ballet in her free time.
After graduating from South High, she
went to business school and then landed a
job as a keypunch operator at Zions Bank.
Outside of work, Pam continued to explore
new territory—literally through travel and
creatively through fused glass art. In her home
kiln, she has designed beautiful jewelry and
other glass works, which she has sold at arts
festivals and street fairs throughout the state.
When Pam’s husband Frank retired, the
couple wanted to explore new ways to engage their minds. Frank discovered the Osher program and they immediately joined.
23
“Osher is one of the best things we’ve ever
done,” Pam states unequivocally. “We love everything about it. The members are open-minded people who love to learn. The instructors are
amazing and the staff is incredible. Everyone is
so friendly, kind, and encouraging.”
The couple especially enjoys Osher courses.
She says that she and Frank don’t have a
system for selecting courses, they just go
with whatever looks the most interesting at
the moment. “We’ve taken a wide range of
courses and haven’t been disappointed yet.
In fact, we are chomping at the bit to see
what’s in store for next term.”
Pam says the one word that best sums up the
Osher Program is “awesome,” which just so happens to be the perfect word to describe her, too.

Water Treatment Plant at Snowbird
Thursday, 8/25/2016, 1:00 - 2:15 PM
Salt Lake County Service Area, No. 3 building,
Entry 4 at Snowbird Resort
Little Cottonwood Canyon plays an important
role in Utah’s water industry and has two distinctive water systems. Water for both Alta and Snowbird resorts comes from the old mines. Snowbird’s water system stores 35 million gallons and
treats it all within the confines of the Wasatch
Drain Tunnel. Members taking this tour will go
into the tunnel and learn how multiple metal
contaminants are removed to make the water
safe to drink. The focus will be mainly on water,
but there will also be interesting information on
the canyon’s history and geology. This tour does
require walking on wet cement, so please be prepared with proper footwear.
OUTSP
Kevin Peterson has never been afraid to speak his mind.
He loves teaching Osher courses because he gets to
stand up in front of the class and, in his own words,
“shoot my mouth off.” Of course, what truly makes
Kevin an outstanding instructor is that he understands
that listening is just as important as talking when it
comes to creating a truly rewarding learning experience.
“College-aged students are empty vessels waiting to be filled, but Osher members have lived
life. They don’t want to be lectured to, they want
to interact. My Osher students are some of the
smartest, most accomplished people I’ve ever met.
They teach me more than I can ever teach them.”
Kevin earned a bachelor’s degree in history and a
master’s in political science. He had his mind set
on becoming a professor, but, in his mid-20s, he
changed course and moved into a career in government and investment banking. But he never
stopped studying politics and history.
SPOKEN
His expertise led him to be sought out as an
instructor, fulfilling his initial career aspiration to
be professor some 40 years later than expected.
After teaching a few college courses, he was referred to speak at an Osher gathering. He went to
the lecture thinking he’d be speaking to a group
of tired, old people. What he found was a dynamic collection of engaged, highly-opinionated, and
razor-sharp individuals. Kevin was hooked and
has been teaching Osher classes ever since.

3D Printing
Wednesday, 9/21/2016, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Michael Beck, 3D Printing Enthusiast
A 3D printer uses a computer-controlled plotter within
a cube-shaped frame to build plastic objects from the
table up. These printers can be used to make sculptures,
mechanical parts of all kinds, and even other 3D printers.
As the technology becomes more and more popular, we
should expect the kinds of applications to which these
printers will be put to grow exponentially. As a prominent
member of the local “Maker Community” and founder of
Make: SLC, Michael Beck will present information about
what 3D printing is, why it’s important, and how he got

American Hibakasha (Victims of Nuclear Explosions)
Wednesday, 9/28/2016, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Mary Dickson, Author
Between 1951-1992, the American government detonated 928 nuclear weapons at the Nevada Test Site.
Most were more powerful than the bomb dropped
on Hiroshima. The fallout moved across the country,
falling on every county in the continental U.S. Sadly,
many people do not realize the full extent and negative
impact of America’s testing, since it is not included in
many history books; however, a National Cancer Institute study links 212,000 cases of thyroid cancer alone
to the testing. Mary Dickson, called “the American
Hibakusha” by students in Kyoto, Japan, combines
historical documentation with personal experience to
show that—in America—everyone lived downwind.
Out of the Shadows: Utah’s Gay Liberation 1969-1979
Wednesday, 10/5/2016, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Ben Williams, Journalist
The 1970s were a time of Gay Liberation and exponential
organizational growth for the homosexual population of
Utah. Spearheaded by a small group of anti-war activists at
the University of Utah, Salt Lake City’s homosexual community experienced a paradigm shift during this decade.
Consciousness- raising became the main form of activism
adopted, patterned after the feminist and African American civil rights movements. Their work helped focus the
attention of the broader gay community on resisting the
oppression embedded in the dominant societal norms of
the period. Ben Williams’ lecture will give an overview of
that first decade of community building.

Lobbying to Protect Retirement Benefits
Wednesday, 10/26/2016, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Neil West, National Retiree Legislative Network Organizer
Although the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation were established in the 1970s to
protect benefits, recent legislation—supported
by most of the Utah Congressional delegation—
allowed companies to limit their responsibility to
retirees. Some pension checks have been reduced
by as much as 30%. West lobbies on behalf of
legislation that will protect salaries and reduce
health care costs. He will provide information about
Congress’ support of companies seeking to limit
financial responsibility to retired employees.

ENERGI
When Steve Hudson retired, he figured
he had two options. He could let his mind
rot by watching TV and puttering around
the yard or he could energize his life by
pursuing his passion for knowledge.
He chose the latter and found Osher, which
not only offers an immense variety of courses,
but also brought him back to the University
of Utah campus some 35 years after he
received his degree from the institution.
Granted, the campus has grown to be about
20 times bigger than it was when he was
here his first go-around, but Steve found the
invigorating atmosphere and camaraderie with
his fellow students to feel familiar.
39
“Osher is education in the purest sense.
Everyone wants to learn. And because
there are no required classes, tests, or
unwanted homework—you are free to take
the classes that interest you.”
Steve is especially impressed with his fellow
Osher members, who consist of retired
doctors, lawyers, judges, engineers, school
teachers, and many other professionals from
diverse fields, all excited about contributing
to the learning experience. “When an
instructor asks a question, at least half the
hands in the room go up to answer.”
Steve enjoys the Osher program so
much, he offered to be on the Special
Events committee. Well, in truth, his wife
volunteered him, but he really enjoys
connecting with businesses to set up tours
for Osher members. It’s just another way
participation in Osher keeps Steve’s mind
energized and on-the-go.

OSHER POLICIES & FAQ
Class Registration and Special Event RSVP
Request Processing
Registration and RSVP requests are processed as they arrive
in the office or online. If a class or event you request is full your
name will be placed on the wait list. Registration status (confirmed
or wait listed) will be noted on your confirmation.
Textbooks
Textbooks can be purchased at your favorite bookseller or
borrowed from a source of your choosing. Remember, as an
Osher student, you have access to university libraries with your U
of U student ID card.
Special Fees
In most cases special fees can be waived if you do not wish to
receive the materials. Please call the Osher office for assistance.
Refunds
You may drop a course and receive a full tuition and fee refund
up until 4 days before the class starts. Should you need to drop
after this point, please contact us so that we may identify the best
option to meet your individual circumstance. Membership fees
cannot be credited or refunded.
Attending Classes for Which You Are Not Registered
You must be registered before you attend a class. This
includes attending a different section of a class. Sitting-in
on a class disrupts the experience for those students who
are legitimately registered for the class. Please respect your
fellow students and instructors by not attending classes for
which you are not registered.
47
Guests
Bringing guests age 50 and over to Osher is a lovely way to
introduce them to our community. Members are encouraged to
bring guests to Lunch and Learn Lectures. These lectures offer
an opportunity to experience the more academic side of Osher
and to meet some members. Guests are welcome to sample
Special Events and Courses on a space available basis with prior
approval of the Osher office. Call four days before the event or
one day before the course to check availability and register your
guest. There is no guest charge, but remember, the guest policy is
for sampling Osher. Please encourage your guests to join so they
too can enjoy the full benefits.
Cancellation of Classes
In the event of university closure, Osher classes and activities
will be canceled. Listen to your local radio station for University
closure announcements or call the Osher office.
Occasionally a class will be cancelled at the request of the
instructor. Every effort will be made to schedule a make up class
at a time that is convenient for the most students.
Accessibility
To request a reasonable accommodation for a disability, please
contact the Center for Disability Services at 801-581-5020 or
online at disability.utah.edu. Reasonable notice required.
Special Events
RSVPs are required for all events. To ensure all members have
an opportunity to attend some events there is a four event per
member limit. The four event limit applies to the total number
of events for which you are either confirmed or wait listed.
Additional events may be requested 1 week in advance of the
event and will be honored on a space available basis. Call the
office to check availability.
If you can't attend it is important that you call to cancel as far
in advance as possible. This allows us to give someone else
a chance to attend and is respectful of our hosts and fellow
members. Your RSVP is nontransferable. Members on the wait
list have priority for open spots and must be processed in order.
Event size is limited at the request of our hosts to ensure a great
experience for participants. Do not attend an event for which you
do not have a confirmed reservation as this can place a burden
on our host and is not fair to other members.
Tuition Reduction
U of U faculty and staff tuition reduction benefits are
available for Osher classes. To receive the discount you
must submit an application to Human Resources (801-5817447) every semester. Failure to submit the application will
result in a balance due on your account and may result in a
hold on your account preventing future registration.
Communication
The Osher office uses email for registration confirmation, special
event reminders, and for general communication with Osher
members. Please be sure you have a current email address
on file and that you check your email periodically. If you do
not use email, consider getting an email buddy who can pass
communication along to you in a timely manner.

Share a Taste of Osher
INVITE A FRIEND TO CLASS
What better way to show someone how great
Osher is than inviting them to join you?
Sharing the Osher experience is a win-win-win.
The new member gains access to an amazing
array of learning opportunities, the program becomes stronger with each new member, and you
have the satisfaction of making a difference in
someone’s life (and possibly even gain a companion with whom to take classes and attend special
activities). Invite your friends to feel the energy
of the members and catch a glimpse of the interesting classes and life-enhancing experiences that
await them when they join the dynamic Osher
community.
Note: Some people may like to sample the Osher experience
before joining. Guests are welcome to sample Special Events
and Courses on a space available basis with prior approval of the
Osher office. See page 47 for the guest policy.
