Life is Definitely NOT Over at 65!

Engaging the “Third and Fourth Age” - Older Adults in Higher Education
Dr. Wright L. Lassiter

Chancellor, Dallas County
Community College District
The skyrocketing growth of the older adult
population in the United States is forcing
society to rethink this cohort’s role in the
nation’s future. In this talk the Chancellor
will remind the attendees of the four ages
of our lives – Preparation, Achievement,
Fulfillment and Completion – with a focus
on the ages of Fulfillment and Completion
– the two ages relating to the Richland
College Emeritus Program.
The Third Age begins as advancement becomes less important; this is the
age of fulfillment. “The best is yet to be!” Completion is the last stage of
life and represents the Fourth Age.
Dr. Lassiter will provide insight about the population of adult Americans
aged 65 and older and how higher education can effectively serve them.
Includes coffee, muffins, your new Spring 2010 booklet,

and an overview of our Emeritus fall classes.
Help us grow - invite friends to come along with you.
Call 972-238-6972 or 972-238-6958
to reserve your space for this FREE event.

Sep 2 Numbers, Numbers, Numbers. Let’s Break the Code.

Remember that before Zip Codes, there were Zone Numbers. We will
look at familiar numbers and break the code. We will look at the “special”
numbers on your currency (most of your dollar bills have ‘11’). Just to
be different we will look at Interstate Highway numbers. We’ll break the
code on the first 3 digits of your Social Security number, and we will finish
up with the Dallas “mystery” of area codes. Do you remember your first
phone number? Just don’t call me at (972) 555-1234. Presenter: Dr. Ar-
nold Paddock, Richland College Physics instructor.
Sep 9 Washington or Wall Street?

• Uncover the unseen forces in Washington & Wall Street
• What made America Great?
• What must you do to harness new opportunities on Wall Street?

ton’s statists or Wall Street’s wannabes.
Presenter: Bob Guess, senior adult educator, radio host and founder of
Senior Financial Services

trying to put food on the table. Who cares which fork we use. The story of

author, teacher and lecturer *PLEASE NOTE: ON SEPTEMBER 16 THE
ENRICHMENT CLASS WILL BE IN C140 – NOT LECROY.
Sep 23 The Future of Texas Transportation: Roads, Rail . . . and

Responsibility Texas has made strides in transportation, finance and
governance. However, we continue to debate the rightful place for vari-
ous funding mechanisms, such as the motor fuels tax, tolls, bonds and
public-private partnerships. To address deteriorating air quality, we are
also refining the right mix of methods like transit and passenger rail in our
transportation portfolio. Congestion in the cities and safety and connectiv-
ity in rural areas challenge our traditional approaches and call for further
innovations. Presenter: State Senator John Carona

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
Oct 7 Italian Cinema: From the realist style of observation to sym-

bolism. The lecture will examine the evolution of Italian Cinema from the
neo-realist cinematic approach (1940s) and its fundamental concern with
society of the early masters -Rossellini, De Sica, Visconti- to a cinema of
social and psychological questions. The evolution from films of drama to
films addressing the intellect rather than emotions will be given depth and
perspective by relating it to Italian culture, politics and society. Presenter:
Dr. Enzo De Nardo, Honorary Vice Counsel of Italy and SMU professor

tant Celebrity. Among the authors of note who have written only one
novel, Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, is among the most puz-

fans. Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, an unauthorized biography
by Charles Shields, attempts to answer the questions about Lee. This
presentation is an enactment of a fictional press conference called by Lee.

Mon Oct 12 Twentieth-Century Composers and ‘Useful Music’

Kevin Salfen will discuss several twentieth-century composers who were
dedicated to the idea of music being useful to the community. These com-

their dedication to a “useful music,” but the question remains: did they

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.

and insight into the explosive economic and political forces in this crucial

Wed Nov 18 Affects of Brainstyle and Personality on Travel, TV Watch-

ing and Eating Out Being social creatures, most of us like company, but .
. . doing things with and for others can have a down side—becoming most
difficult. With down-to-earth understanding about brainstyles and person-
ality traits, neither one of which is easily changed, we can exchange frus-
tration for good humor and anxiety for peace. You’ll come to know the
less than obvious effects of the brain on behavior with family, friends and
professionals upon whom you rely.
