Vol. 22 No. 6 - September 25, 2017

The Kohlenberg Lyceum Series returns to Baldwin Hall for the 2017-18 season, kicking off Oct. 23.

After renovations to Baldwin Hall resulted in a reduced schedule of events last year, the series resumes in the auditorium, which received new paint and lighting during the total building upgrade.

This season includes four full-stage productions, beginning Oct. 23 with an evening of big band music featuring the songs of George Gershwin. “American Rhapsody: The Gershwin Songbook” is an evening of iconic American music by one of the most indelible composers of the 20th century. After nearly a century, Gershwin’s music remains as fresh and irresistible as it did during the Jazz Age. His poetic melodies and eclectic works of everything including Broadway, Hollywood, opera and classic American standards have left a legacy audiences love to hear again and again.

The holiday season will feature “Christmas from Ireland” with music from Lúnasa and guest soloist Ashley Davis, Dec. 6. Named for an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honor of the Irish god Lugh, patron of the arts, Lúnasa is indeed a gathering of some of the top musical talents in Ireland. Its members have helped form the backbone of some of the greatest Irish groups of the decade.

In the new year, the series continues Jan. 27 with a performance by the Liverpool Legends Beatles Tribute Band. With renditions of songs spanning the entire career of the Beatles, and on through the solo years, the Liverpool Legends use vintage instruments and outfit changes to create an authentic feel. The band has performed in venues such as Carnegie Hall and The Cavern Club in Liverpool, among many others.

Back by popular demand, the Golden Dragon Acrobats will return to the Baldwin Auditorium stage Feb. 17. The Broadway veterans hail from Cangzhou, Hebei province in China and have toured the United States continuously since 1978. Its members are athletes, actors and artists who have studied and trained for their craft since early childhood. Representing a time-honored tradition that began more than 25 centuries ago, the Golden Dragons utilize award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes, ancient and contemporary music and theatrical techniques to present a show of breathtaking skill and beauty.

Tickets for lyceum events go on sale two weeks before each performance. Cost is $5.50 (includes tax) for faculty, staff, students and members of the community. Tickets can be purchased at the cashier window in McClain Hall, at Edna Campbells in downtown Kirksville or online at lyceum.truman.edu. Questions regarding the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series can be directed the Public Relations Office at pr@truman.edu or 660.785.4016.

The Department of Music will sponsor a visiting guest recital featuring Natalia Bolshakova on piano, Leigh Muñoz on bassoon and Dan Willett on oboe at 8 p.m. Sept. 25 in the Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall.

Bolshakova studied at the Moscow Conservatory and the University of North Texas. She has been a prizewinner in many competitions, including the New Orleans International Piano Competition and the Ima Hogg Young Artist International Competition. She has performed as a soloist with orchestras across the U.S. and in Europe. In 1997, she was hailed by the BBC Music Magazine as “one of the most promising musicians of the younger generation.” In August 2005, she premiered “Souvenirs” for piano, written for her by James Wintle at the Nancyphonies Festival in Nancy, France.

Muñoz is adept as an orchestral musician, soloist and educator and brings a variety of experiences to her career. She has degrees from Oberlin Conservatory, Ohio University and a performance diploma from New England Conservatory. She is currently serving as second bassoon for the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas. She has held contrabassoon positions in both the Springfield and Cedar Rapids symphonies and is currently a regular substitute bassoonist and contrabassoonist with the Kansas City Symphony, Lyric Opera and Kansas City Ballet.

Willett earned both bachelor and master’s degrees from Michigan State University. His faculty duties have included teaching the oboe and reedmaking, coaching chamber music, music appreciation and performing as a member of the Missouri Woodwind Quintet, the ensemble-in-residence at the University of Missouri. In addition to regular solo recitals, Willett has performed with the St. Louis Symphony, St. Louis Bach Society and Kammerguild Chamber Orchestra. As a member of the Missouri Quintet, he has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, the International Chamber Music Festival in Belem, Brazil, and in other cities including St. Louis, Boston and Chicago.

The concert is free and open to the public.

Truman’s McNair program has been refunded by the U.S. Department of Education, and service to first-generation, income-eligible and underrepresented minority students will continue through at least September 2022.

The five-year award for more than $1.3 million in federal funds is matched by $97,850 per year in funds from Truman as well as generous in-kind support provided by University faculty and staff across campus offices.

Students participating in the Truman McNair program are encouraged to pursue graduate study leading to a Ph.D. or research doctorate degrees in a wide variety of fields. The program provides paid summer internships, graduate school preparation, faculty mentoring, academic advising and the opportunity to conduct an original research project as well as participate in a vibrant community of learners.

Truman McNair usually admits sophomores and juniors, but any student who has been involved in undergraduate research, or is potentially interested in doing so, is encouraged to meet with the McNair staff to determine whether they are eligible and whether the program may be a good fit for them. In this new grant cycle, Truman initiated a Pre-McNair Fellows program that allows McNair-eligible students with interest in graduate school to learn more about what they do.

Applications for new scholars will be accepted online through Oct. 1. For more information on the program, eligibility or the application process, visit mcnair.truman.edu, call 660.785.5393 or stop by the Adair Building and visit the staff.

In 1947, the Bulldog football team participated in a bowl game under the watchful eye of the president of the United States. Sort of.

True, it was not the Rose, Orange or Sugar Bowl, and Ronald Reagan was still 33 years away from winning his first term for the nation’s highest office, but the team did earn a unique, albeit obscure, place in the annals of college football history. On Sept. 26, 1947, the Bulldogs took on Eureka College in the first-ever Pumpkin Bowl.  

Unlike traditional end-of-the-year bowl games, the Pumpkin Bowl was not a post-season celebration, but rather part of the Eureka Pumpkin Festival. In the 1930s, the Libby’s-owned facility in Eureka, Ill., was producing 15 million cans of pumpkins every year. The festival was created in 1939 to celebrate the community as “the true Pumpkin Center of the world.”

According to the Courier Newspapers, the 1947 Pumpkin Festival was the largest in the event’s history, with estimates of up to 100,000 people in attendance. That was the first year of the Pumpkin Bowl, and much of the turnout is credited to Eureka College alumnus Ronald Reagan returning to town for the first time in six years. A popular actor at the time, Reagan had the honor of crowning the Pumpkin Queen at the game.

The squad coach James Dougherty and assistant coach Boyd King fielded, listed in the program as “Kirksville Teachers,” played the role of spoiler that day, defeating Eureka 21-0 in what is considered to be the first bowl game played in Illinois.

Unfortunately for all involved, the Pumpkin Bowl never became as popular as the Rose Bowl. Libby’s closed the Eureka facility in 1960, and the Pumpkin Festival, along with the game, was soon discontinued. Although it may be a footnote in the storied history of college football, the fact remains the Bulldogs were the Pumpkin Bowl champions, and a president was there to bear witness to their victory.

The deadline to apply for the Missouri Government Internship Program is 12 p.m. Sept. 28.

The Missouri Government Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to gain meaningful experience in the fast-paced world of state politics. Selected interns will work as full-time staff assistants with a legislator or state public official. By interning at the Missouri Capitol, students will expand their knowledge of state government, build a diversified professional network and establish a basis for future professional positions.

Many former interns have subsequently taken positions as legislative directors, chiefs of staff, judicial clerks, policy analysts, lobbyists and public officials as a direct result of what they learned and the connections they made as interns.

The varying daily tasks throughout each office could include attending public hearings, completing legislative research, writing and editing published materials, constituent relations or assisting with basic office work.

The Truman State University Foundation provides selected interns with a stipend. Interested students should click here for more information and to view the internship application. Questions can be directed to Candy Young or Heidi Templeton.

Interviews for the internship will take place Oct. 3-5.

Located on the first floor of Pickler Memorial Library, the Wellness Zone provides a stress-free environment on campus where students, faculty and staff can relax and practice stress management techniques. Massage chairs, coloring, games and puzzles are all available whenever the library is open.

Psi Chi, the international honor society for psychology, will conduct a rush event from 6-8 p.m. Sept. 28 in Violette Hall 1424. There will be food, games and current Psi Chi members ready to greet prospective members. Any questions about rush, including student eligibility, can be directed to tsupsichi@gmail.com. More information is also available by joining the Psi Chi – Truman State University Chapter on Facebook.

Biology 100 students have created a Genetic Bill of Rights as part of a class exercise, and they are inviting the campus to review their document from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sept. 26 and Sept. 28 in the Magruder Hall Cyber Café.

The students have been learning about genetic information, privacy and discrimination in class. They worked in groups to create a Genetic Bill of Rights outlining the genetic rights and privileges they feel each citizen should be afforded.

Attendees are invited to review the Genetic Bill of Rights, perhaps sign one, and participate in an activity to celebrate genetic diversity. Lite refreshments will also be served.

The first production by the Department of Theatre for the 2017-18 season will be “Good Kids” by Naomi Iizuka.

The show opens Sept. 27 and runs through Sept. 30 at the James G. Severns Theatre in Ophelia Parrish. Shows begin at 8 p.m. each night, and tickets can be purchased for $5 each at the theatre box office, located in the atrium of Ophelia Parrish. The box office is open from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and at 7 p.m. on performance evenings.

This production contains strong language as well as images and themes involving rape. It is not suitable for children under the age of 12.

ABSTRACT:
“Good Kids” is a non-linear piece that has the feel of a documentary, but it is also an actor-driven ensemble piece. It is an exploration of the anatomy of a gang rape that occurs during a party of high school students. What are the ingredients, the attitudes, assumptions, and expectations that make it possible? What gets it started and keeps it going? How can basically “good kids,” those who were raised in good homes, allow things to get so out of control? And why document the crime in photos and video posted on Twitter? Loosely based on real events, the play forces us to look squarely at difficult issues affecting the lives of millions of young people today. The play was commissioned in 2014 by the Big Ten Theatre Consortium, an organization dedicated to plays by women with strong roles for women.

Pickler Memorial Library and the Missouri-Southern Iowa Art Guild (MOSI) are partnering again for an art exhibition.
 
The exhibition, which runs through Dec. 15, is located in the library café and features 27 pieces from nine local MOSI artists.

Visitors can vote for the Viewers’ Choice Award until 5:30 p.m. on the day of the reception. The award will be announced at 6 p.m.
 
MOSI art guild is a group of artists that sponsors local art exhibitions, provides recognition and networking opportunities for members and conducts art workshops for the community.

Students with financial needs that may interfere with their ability to continue their education can seek assistance through the Truman State University Foundation Loan Program.

Foundation loans can come in the form of short-term loans, long-term loans, access loans and cultural loans specifically for study abroad trips. Applications go through the Financial Aid Office and are repaid directly to the University. Banks and outside lenders are not involved in the process.

To be eligible for a Foundation loan, students must be enrolled on a full-time basis, have at least 12 credit hours at Truman and be in good academic standing. Students also need to demonstrate an ability to repay the loan in a timely manner. Deferments of up to five years are available for cultural and long-term loans, provided the student is enrolled on a full-time basis.

In addition to scholarship assistance, the loan program is an example of the immediate impact of donations to the Truman State University Foundation. Gifts from alumni and friends allow Truman to provide assistance directly to students as they pursue their education.

For more information on the Foundation loan program, contact the Financial Aid Office at finaid@truman.edu, at 660.785.4130 or in person at McClain Hall 103.

In addition to Truman’s sesquicentennial, A.T. Still University is honoring 125 years, and the city of Kirkville is marking 175 years. A limited number of T-shirts commemorating the anniversaries are available for purchase in McClain Hall 202. Cost is $6 for XL, $8 for 2XL and 3XL. Cash or check transactions only.

As a member of the MOBIUS library consortium, Truman has access to more than 27 million items. The consortium’s purpose is to share library materials, information and services using accessible, cost-effective methods.

The biggest impact on users will happen Sept. 29 through Oct. 4 as the library transitions from LANCE to AVALON. During this time frame, users will not be able to request MOBIUS items or access their My Library account. More details are available at library.truman.edu/about-us/avalon.asp.

The Mount Vernon Leadership Fellows program is a highly selective six-week summer institute for rising college juniors offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities at the home of America’s first president located just outside of Washington, D.C. It is all-inclusive, providing housing, transportation, meals and a $3,000 stipend.
