before our children what this war was really like. It is so
easy to forget,' and then, for the younger generation, the
heroism and the glamour remain, while the dirt, the hard-

REMEMBERING WORLD WAR 11: NCOA HUII/anities Series
SESSION I: 1941 and Pearl Harbor
Leader: Dee Norton, UI Professor Emeritus and former Chair of the UI
Psychology Department; currently Chair of the Program Committee of the Iowa
City Foreign Relations Council
This opening session will treat the immediate background of the American entry
into World War II, including the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December
7,1941.
THE BIG BANDS AND POP MUSIC OF THE FORTIES
Instructor: Tony Tommasi, retired assistant professor of English at State
University of New York
They were exciting years.-those years of the big bands--when for less than a
buck you could spend an entire evening watching and listening to the music of
your favorite orchestra in the ballrooms and theaters.
The music of the more relaxed, less competitive big band era, though seldom
projecting the sort of intensity or social concerns of today's songs, appealed to
simple emotions, mostly love, in a very personal way,
This course will consist of guided listening to the music of the war years and
discussions of a less questioning, more accepting way of life.
THE CENTER'S BIRTHDAY
POTLUCK DINNER AND ENTERTAINMENT
Following a sumptuous meal, the Ronald McDonald Players will perform
selections from Broadway musicals of the Forties, including hit songs from
SOl/th Pacific, Oklahoma! and other golden oldies.

SESSION 2: America Goes to War
Leader: Clara Oleson, VI Labor Center
Mobilization for war had begun long before Pearl Harbor, but the pace
quickened spectacularly after the declaration of war in December 1941.
Discussion will center on such vital issues as how the war changed the lives of
ordinary citizens, how the mobilization process affected them, and how it moved
them into new work and new parts of the country and the world,
Many women were thrust into traditionally masculine jobs and encouniered
many of the same hostilities, problems, and joys, What were the negative and
positive attitudes they encountered, both at home and on the job?
,i'
Finally, are the memories of those first traumatic, unsettling days of the War
precious...or would we rather forget that part of our lives?

REMEMBERING WORLD WAR 11: NCOA H,.mallities Series
SESSION 3: Home Frollt Experiellces
Leader: Ann Feddersen, former child guidance clinician and psychiatric
social worker; life-long resident of Iowa City
With the advent of Pearl Harbor, Americans united as never before or since in
support of the war effort. It was a total war, and a proud and patriotic time in
American history.
War bonds, food stamps, retread tires, gas rationing, shortages of cigarettes and
nylons, letters to servicemen, gold stars in the windows of those who had lost
a son or daughter...these were but a few of the hardships that had to be coped
with on the home front.
As members of the class recall tales of their varied experiences on the home
front, a vivid picture of the true meaning of total war will emerge. From these
recollections of the past will flow a projection of their meaning for the present
and the future,

SESSION 4: The War in Europe
Leader: William Tucker, retired attorney, tighter pilot in World War II.
The U.S. government under Franklin D. Roosevelt, the British government
under Winston Churchill, and the Soviet government under Joseph Stalin all
gave first priority to the defeat of Nazi Germany under the dictatorship of Adolf
Hitler. More Americans died in the European war than in the Pacific and East
Asia. Consequently, one could reasonably consider this fourth session as the
centerpiece in this discussion series.
The life of a foot soldier on the European front was miserable and dangerous.
The death toll of fighters in th'e air was also high, But the U.S, government
said that the fastest way to stop the killing was to win the war.
Discussion will center on whether the Allies followed the best possible strategies
to reach that goal, and its effect on the home front.

THE WORLD WAR 11 CARTOONS OF BILL MAULDIN
Leader: Dr. Robert C. Brown
The best-known cartoonist-illustrator of World War II, the creator of the
archetypal foot soldiers Willie and Joe, Bill Mauldin became nationally famous
with his syndicated series Up Front. Mauldin's humorous and poignant
depictions of the unromantic face of war were to become emblematic of their
period of American history.
A sardonic voice for the enlisted man, his sketches of Willie and Joe kidded the
brass in a tone more mischievous than seditious, and though they drew trouble
from the upper echelons, they proved too popular with the rank and file to sup-
press. When he moved to Stars and Stripes in 1944, he was already a national
figure. Mauldin received a Pulitzer Prize in 1945.
The class will share a review of Mauldin's work and hear taped portions of his
recent talk to the National Press Club.
Dr. BrolVll is a retired radiologist.

THE PRESIDENTS: Roosevelt & Truman
FOR served as president for more than tweive years. Elected four times, he led
the U.S. through its worst depression and worst war. It was his third adminis-
tration that dealt with our entry into the war and our discussion will focus on
his leadership, Beginning with his October 3D, 1940, declaration, "I have said
this before, but I shall say it again and again: Your boys are not going to be
sent into any foreign wars," the adoption of the country's first selective service
law one month later, through his "Day of Infamy" speech and later actions until
his death you will have an opportunity to be a Monday morning historian,
rethinking Roosevelt's options and decisions during a critical period of
American history. Professor Ellis Hawley recently retired from the History
Department of the VI.
On the day after Truman took office he commented to the press: "Boys, if you
ever pray, pray for me now. I don't know whether you fellows ever had a load
of hay fall on you, but when they told me yesterday what had happened, I felt
like the moon, the stars and all the planets had fallen on me." But he had little
time to contemplate the enormity of his task as events rapidly unfolded from the
first U.N. conference, to VE Day a month later, to the decision to use the
atomic bomb. These decisions and Truman's leadership will be discussed by
Professor Lawrence Gelfand who was a June retiree from the Department of
History at the VI where he also chaired the department for a number of years.
REMEMBERING WORLD WAR II: NCOA Humanities Series
SESSION 5: The War ill the Pacific
Leader: Richard Feddersen, Colonel in the U.S. Infantry (retired); served
in the Southwest Pacific and was involved in the occupation of Japan at
Hiroshima,
Even before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, British and American leaders
had decided to give priority to the war in Europe. Hitler's Nazi Germany was
considered the foremost threat and evil. Nevertheless, the attack on Pearl
Harbor angercd the American people and moved them to strike back against the
Japanese quickly and hard, Top military leaders, including General Douglas
MacArthur, pressed impatiently for stronger action in the Pacific.
Some of the more controversial aspects of America's conduct of the war against
Japan involved use of air power--especially the decision to drop the atomic
bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In general, most Americans at that time
warmly applauded the use of the bomb for shortening the war and reducing loss
of American lives. However, people in other parts of the world, and later
generations,have been more critical of that fateful decision.
Was the war to block Japanese aggression worth the cost in American and
Japanese lives? How do we respond to this question today?

played in the lives of American families during World War II,
REMEMBERING WORLD WAR 11: NCOA Humanities Series
SESSION 6: Coming Home from the War
Leader: Gertrude McQueen, community leader
Session 6 emphasizes the more personal experiences of Americans after the war.
Everyone who lived then - civilians and servicemen, men and women, young
and old - experienced the aftermath of the war and has individual memories of
those times,
Most servicemen had hopes and plans for their future after they were released
from active duty. But most probably felt some uneasiness about what the future
might hold, and even about their ability to measure up to the challenges of the
future,
The G.I. BiII that allowed thousands to attend college after the war helped keep
those ex-servicemen out of the job market while preparing them for better
paying professional positions. On the down side, the end of the war affected
some women adversely as they were fired from their jobs to give those jobs to
returning vets.
This session could prove to be one of the liveliest in the series as members of
the group recall their own personal memories of that crucial period of
adjustment immediately following the end of the war.

<
-~--.< Room G08 Leader: Dorothy Paul, Executive Director, Iowa Division of the United
Nations
World War II demonstrated to Americans as never before how much was at
, stake in countries around the world. When the United Nations became a reality,
"
the U.S. found itself a leading member of a world organization. The Marshall ' "
.
"l Plan to, aid European recovery and its containment policy to block Soviet
expansion became vitally important policies, even though they did not so
directly involve the man and woman on the street.
,~...... The enormity of Nazi and Japanese aggressive warfare and atrocities made the
l
,",':
C"",' war crimes trials seem exactly the right thing to do. And for many Americans,
rJ!
the horrors of the Holocaust did not emerge until after the war.
\ ,
~ The Soviet challenge (the "Iron Curtain") had to be checked by major
,..... containment policies culminating in the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty ...... ....
. ',',\
Organization in 1949. But even at the time, some contended that Churchill and
Truman were exaggerating the Communist threat.
The discussion in this final session of the series will focus on the important
policies instituted during the post-war years: the Truman Doctrine, NATO, and
the United Nations, among others.

Thursday, Sept. 29 LASANSKY'S NAZI DRA WINGS
/0:30 a.m. Emily Vermillion, Curator of Education, VI Museum of Art, will present
G08 a slide program of Mauricio Lasansky's Nazi Drawings which are housed
at the VI Museum of Art.
:. ~ This series of drawings. in preparation over a period of five years. was
completed in the summer of 1966. There exists no comparable artistic
indictment of that period of recorded history which may be labeled the Nazi era,
The degradation of all mankind by its own brutality and avarice. unmercifully
exposed in life-sized figures. has here been translated into a dance of death
culminating in man's self-destruction,
Professor Emeritis Mauricio Lasansky, the author of these drawings, was in
charge of the Printmaking Department from 1945 to 1985, Lasansky offered
this explanation of what the drawings are about:
"Dignity is not a symbol bestowed on many, nor does r
" the word itself possess force. Man's dignity is a force
and the only modus vivendi by which man and his i,
history survive, When mid-lIVentieth century Germany I
"
did IlOt let man live and die with this right, man f
became 011 animal. No matter holV technologically
advanced or sophisticated, when a man negates his
divine right he not only becomes selfdestructive, but
castrates his history and poisons ol/r fl/llIre. "
The program will also include a reading of several short poems by children in
the Terezin concentration camp. and a song of hope of the camps. "Ani Mamin"
,;~">l presented by Gloria Galask.

DENVER, March 8, 1943-(AP)-"My dog
can eat a horse, and I don't see why I can't
eat what my dog eats," protested Senator
Robert Bosworth, Denver Republican, during
debate today on a bill to prohibit sale of
horsemeat for human consumption.
"Your dog can also scratch his ear with his
hind leg, and that's more than you can do,"
retorted Curtis p, Richie, Pueblo Democrat
and a sponsor of the bill. "Eating horse meat
is nothing short of cannibalism."
Excerpts from Letters
to Office of Family Allowance:
I have already wrote the President and if I don't
hear from you, I will write Uncle Sam and tell
him about you both.
Of all the sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: There are no men.

"History books list the names of the major battles and the generals who are given credit for
the victories. But the names of the grunts from Red Oak and Ogden and Peterson and Nora
Springs are mentioned only on plaques in town squares and county courthouses. They're the
little guys without whose sacrifices no general ever won a battle-only a battle star. Privates
die in battle; generals die in bed., Generals' graves are adorned with statutes. Privates get
wooden crosses.
Today, those tens of thousands of Iowans who served are indistinguishable from the rest of'
the state's seniors. Fiftieth anniversaries of important dates of World War II now come and
go with little or no notice - except by the men, now mostly in their seventies, who were
there. Men whose names are never mentioned in history courses. But men who, neverthe-
less, bent the course of history."
