Important Information Regarding Classes with Fees The ALL program offers a few classes that require an additional fee. For these popular classes, there are special registration guidelines. If you want to sign up for a class with a fee, it is important to do this at the Registration Open House. Early enrollment in these classes is not accepted. Since enrollment in these classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up tables when the doors open.

The ALL program offers a few classes that require an additional fee. For these popular classes, there are special registration guidelines. If you want to sign up for a class with a fee, it is important to do this at the Registration Open House. Early enrollment in these classes is not accepted. Since enrollment in these classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up tables when the doors open.

Buckley, Jr., and left-leaning novelist, polemicist Gore Vidal. Natural opponents, both men believed each other’s political ideologies were dangerous for America.

Hawke lovingly guides him to share his remarkable life stories, eye-opening words of wisdom, and insightful reflection on art, creativity, and the search for fulfillment.

HISTORY Alabama’s Monuments Man – Captain Robert Kelley Posey and the Quest for the Mystic Lamb Robert Kelley Posey attended Auburn University and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves shortly after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the entry of the U.S. into World War II, Posey entered the active force, serving as an Engineering officer with the U.S. Army. With the establishment of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFA&A) of the U.S. Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve as the Monuments Officer for General Patton’s Third Army which fought its way across France and Belgium during the summer and fall of 1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was responsible for not only protecting war damaged buildings and monuments in occupied France, but also tracking down art looted by the Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a professor of political science at Auburn University with a research specialization in post-World War II Germany. He has made a special trip to Houston to present this program for members of the Academy for Lifelong Learning, system-wide. The program will be held in Building H, Room 102 (the Recital Hall). 17032

The Lost Battalion In the days immediately preceding America’s entry into World War II, a group of young men in the Texas National Guard were mobilized as the 2nd Battalion of the 131st Field Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. A few months later, following an engagement with the Japanese in the South Pacific, the entire Battalion was captured and mysteriously went missing. When the truth emerged years later, the stories of determination and survival of the members of the “Lost Battalion,” in the face of the horrific conditions of their captivity, became a source of inspiration for generations of those who followed, as well as the basis for novels and movies.

The Irish Are Coming! The Irish Immigration to America from 1750-1900. In the 2010 Census, the Irish and Scots-Irish represented over 15% of the total United States population, second only to people of German-American descent. An historical background to understand why they came to this country and the influence they provided toward the growth of America will be provided. The first part of the class will discuss the Celt/Gaelic heritage of the Irish and how religion and economics influenced the first wave of Irish to come to this country in the 1750s. The potato famine in the 1840s drove the second Irish wave to America where, due to their religion, they were considered the lowest rung of society. The American Civil War, the building of the western railroads, and their growth in politics, changed their social status by 1900. Join Paul Downey. 17018

The Versailles Treaty – The Truce that Lasted 20 Years WWI or “the European Reformation” ended November 11, 1918 with the signing of the armistice. Six months after the armistice, the four major powers of France, England, Italy, and the United States, came to Paris to write the treaty to end the war officially and divide the spoils for winning the war. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, was extremely idealistic and politically inept as he tried to present his Fourteen Points and the establishment of the League of Nations. France, on the other hand, wanted to destroy Germany’s economy and make the Germans admit the war was their fault and pay crippling reparations to France to offset the cost of the war. England wanted more power in the defunct Ottoman Empire, and Italy was basically left out. The Versailles Treaty did not end the War to End All Wars, but was a twenty-year truce prior to WWII. Paul Downey traces the treaty from the start of WWI in 1914, and the dramatic effect the Versailles Treaty has on today’s politics through Wilsonian politics, England’s, and France’s Middle Eastern policy of broken promises, India’s road to independence, and the rise of America to the world stage.

Veins and Venous Insufficiency Your arteries carry blood from your heart out to the rest of your body. Your veins carry blood back to the heart, and valves in the veins stop the blood from flowing backward. When your veins have trouble sending blood from your limbs to the heart, it’s known as venous insufficiency. In this condition, blood doesn’t flow back properly to the heart, causing blood to pool in the veins in your legs. This can cause varicose veins, leg pain, swelling, skin discoloration, ulcers, and more. The good news is this condition can be treated! Pamela Moore, from the Hamilton Vein Center, will be your instructor. 17495

Creation Myths Creation myths are part of most religious traditions: attempts to answer key questions regarding the cosmos and our role within it. These myths are often beautiful metaphorical stories, some of which are considered divine truth by specific religious groups. The similarities among these myths suggest universality. In this course, taught by Michael Condit, we will consider creation myths as a whole, but in the process we will deal with several myths as examples of specific types of myth. Ultimately, we will find a key role for creation thinking in both religion and philosophy. 1-3 p.m.

The World Is Waiting … Let’s Go! The more you travel the more you realize how much we have in common with those who live in other cities and countries across the world. We are a global society and while we can teach a great deal to others, we have much to learn from cultures thousands of years older than ours in the U.S. We would like to show you a glimpse of some of the wonderful places we have visited and entice you to venture out and see them as well. The more you travel, the more you find better ways to pack, to navigate new locales, and be prepared for whatever. Travel should be an adventure and even when we take the wrong road or stumble into a restaurant not in our guidebook, we generally discover something better than what we were seeking.

HISTORY Alabama’s Monuments Man – Captain Robert Kelley Posey and the Quest for the Mystic Lamb Robert Kelley Posey attended Auburn University and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves shortly after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the entry of the U.S. into World War II, Posey entered the active force, serving as an Engineering officer with the U.S. Army. With the establishment of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFA&A) of the U.S. Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve as the Monuments Officer for General Patton’s Third Army which fought its way across France and Belgium during the summer and fall of 1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was responsible for not only protecting war damaged buildings and monuments in occupied France, but also tracking down art looted by the Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a professor of political science at Auburn University with a research specialization in post-World War II Germany. He has made a special trip to Houston to present this program for members of the Academy for Lifelong Learning, systemwide. The program will be held in Building H, Room 102 (the Recital Hall), on the LSC-Montgomery campus. 17032

War between Wars, 1920 to 1940 WWI was heralded as “The War to end all wars.” After the Treaty of Versailles had been signed ending the war, French general Fredrick Foch declared “this is not a treaty, but an armistice for twenty years!” He was mistaken by sixty-nine days. Several paths from the signing of the Treaty of Versailles to the fall of France in 1940 will be traced. We will explore the rise of Germany and Hitler, Britain’s continued colonialism against the rising nationalism, America’s return to isolationism and the Great Depression, the broken promises in the Middle East, and the rise of Stalin in Russia.

The Colonization of Mid-East Oil from 1900 to 1972 The present state of Middle Eastern affairs has been simmering for many decades. The inception of Islam in the seventh century CE and its growth and influence on the areas of Mesopotamia, Persia, and Turkey, will be traced. The 1909 discovery of oil in Persia changed the dynamics of the area. With the advent of WWI and the Versailles Treaty, Britain continued to colonize and make new boundaries, further alienating the unkept promises to the populations of the area. Nationalism and cultural identity grew, causing the formation of a cartel and taking back the assets the countries believe belong to them. The Cartel disrupted the price of oil, causing major disruptions in world economics. Join Paul Downey.

The ALL program offers a few classes that require an additional fee. For these popular classes, there are special registration guidelines. If you want to sign up for a class with a fee, it is important to do this at the Registration Open House. Early enrollment in these classes is not accepted. Since enrollment in these classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up tables when the doors open.

Alabama Monuments Man (Special Event) Robert Kelley Posey attended Auburn University and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves shortly after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the entry of the U.S. in World War II, Posey entered the active force serving as an Engineering officer with the U.S. Army. With the establishment of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFA&A) of the U.S. Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve as the Monuments Officer for General Patton’s Third Army which fought its way across France and Belgium during the summer and fall of 1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was responsible for not only protecting war-damaged buildings and monuments in occupied France, but also tracking down art looted by the Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a professor of political science at Auburn University with a research specialization in post-World War II Germany. He is currently working on a book length project examining the U.S. Army Occupation of Germany between 1945-1949 and the Office of Military Government, United States (OMGUS).

FINANCIAL & LEGAL Investing for Dividends Learn how to build a portfolio of quality dividend paying stocks. Dividends are cash payments made by companies to their shareholders. Dividends are based on the company’s earnings and cash flow. The direction of stock prices does not necessarily affect dividend payments. Many companies have paid uninterrupted dividends for decades. If your stocks pay you dividends through ups and downs, you can have a reliable investment income that is not dependent on the market always going up. We will look at dividend histories, target yield, suitable price to earnings, earnings-todebt ratio, and current fair evaluation. Finally, we’ll discuss some of the tools we use to select dividend-paying stocks. 12581

Alabama’s Monuments Man – Captain Robert Kelley Posey and the Quest for the Mystic Lamb Robert Kelley Posey attended Auburn University and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves shortly after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the entry of the U.S. into World War II, Posey entered the active force, serving as an Engineering officer with the U.S. Army. With the establishment of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFA&A) of the U.S. Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve as the Monuments Officer for General Patton’s Third Army which fought its way across France and Belgium during the summer and fall of 1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was responsible for not only protecting war damaged buildings and monuments in occupied France, but also tracking down art looted by the Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a professor of political science at Auburn University with a research specialization in post-World War II Germany. He has made a special trip to Houston to present this program for members of the Academy for Lifelong Learning, systemwide. The program will be held in Building H, Room 102 (the Recital Hall), on the LSC-Montgomery campus. 12943

For all trips we meet at the Spring Park and Ride, 17444 Carlsway Rd, Houston, TX 77073. September METRO Trip to the Holocaust Museum Charged with educating students and the public about the dangers of prejudice and hatred in society, Holocaust Museum Houston opened its doors in March of 1996. Since that time, impassioned notes, poems, artwork and other gifts, from school children and adults alike, attest to the life-changing thoughts generated by just one visit to this unique facility. A tour begins with a look at life before the Holocaust. Visitors then see the beginnings of Nazism and Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. The displays progress through the disruption of normal life, to segregation, to imprisonment in concentration camps, and finally to extermination. The roles of collaborators, by-standers, rescuers, and liberators are portrayed through artifacts, film reels, photographs, and text panels. General admission is $12. Bring your Lone Star College ID card for free entry. Tickets for seniors are $8. REMEMBER to be at the Spring Park & Ride and ready to board by 9:20 a.m. 17336

DOCUMENTARIES Hurricanes – The Perfect Storms Sweeping in from the sea, these violent weather systems can travel thousands of miles, leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake. Vast areas of the landscape are swamped with tidal surges of up to 20 feet high, deluged with torrential rain, and battered by ferocious winds, often exceeding 100 miles an hour. In 1900, Galveston was rocked by a hurricane that killed more people than all other storms to strike the U.S. for the next century combined. Anywhere from 6,000-12,000 were killed in this deadly collision of natural forces. We’ll relive some of these catastrophic events that have wreaked chaos on an awesome scale. 16776

Alabama’s Monuments Man – Captain Robert Kelley Posey and the Quest for the Mystic Lamb Robert Kelley Posey attended Auburn University and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves shortly after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the entry of the U.S. into World War II, Posey entered the active force, serving as an Engineering officer with the U.S. Army. With the establishment of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFA&A) of the U.S. Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve as the Monuments Officer for General Patton’s Third Army which fought its way across France and Belgium during the summer and fall of 1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was responsible for not only protecting war damaged buildings and monuments in occupied France, but also tracking down art looted by the Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a professor of political science at Auburn University with a research specialization in post-World War II Germany. He has made a special trip to Houston to present this program for members of the Academy for Lifelong Learning, systemwide.

The ALL program offers a few classes that require an additional fee. For these popular classes, there are special registration guidelines. If you want to sign up for a class with a fee, it is important to do this at the Registration Open House. Early enrollment in these classes is not accepted. Since enrollment in these classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up tables when the doors open.

MYT Alabama’s Monuments Man – Captain Robert Kelley Posey and the Quest for the Mystic Lamb Robert Kelley Posey attended Auburn University and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves shortly after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the entry of the U.S. into World War II, Posey entered the active force, serving as an Engineering officer with the U.S. Army. With the establishment of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFA&A) of the U.S. Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve as the Monuments Officer for General Patton’s Third Army which fought its way across France and Belgium during the summer and fall of 1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was responsible for not only protecting war damaged buildings and monuments in occupied France, but also tracking down art looted by the Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a professor of political science at Auburn University with a research specialization in post-World War II Germany. He has made a special trip to Houston to present this program for members of the Academy for Lifelong Learning, systemwide.

*Social Security Number (SSN) is required if you are applying for financial aid but is not required for admission. Providing an SSN will, however, speed up the processing of your application since we will not need to manually match your application with other materials such as transcripts and test scores. Supplying an SSN also ensures that you will be able to claim the Hope Tax Credit if you are eligible on your federal tax return. Lone Star College uses the SSN for compliance with federal and state reporting requirements and has a strong commitment to ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of student records and will not disclose your SSN without your consent for any purpose except as allowed by law.
