Vol. 22 No. 12 - November 6, 2017

Between Missouri Hall and the quadrangle stands a brick wall housing a row of five bells. This campus landmark, known most commonly as the bell wall, was added to campus in the 1960s. Though students, faculty, staff and alumni regularly pass by the wall, few know the history behind the five bronze bells.

Joe Burdman, an enthusiastic participant in local civic and philanthropic affairs, donated the bells to the University. Born in southern Russia, he left the country to flee the Czar’s army during a very tumultuous time. On Dec. 14, 1913, he immigrated to the United States and was reunited with his fiancé who had also emigrated from Russia. They were married and settled in Burlington, Iowa. With only $127 to his name, Burdman purchased a horse and wagon and began buying and selling scrap metal. The business enterprise was known as the J. Burdman Iron and Metal Co. In 1921, Burdman and his wife, along with their two sons, came to Kirksville, after being told, “a veritable gold mine was to be found there.” He expanded his business, buying wrecked cars and selling auto parts and accessories. On March 1, 1921, J. Burdman Auto parts came into existence.  

Burdman was active in the Kirksville community and served as president of the Kirksville Rotary Club, president of the Kirksville Chamber of Commerce, and became the mayor of Kirksville in 1960. He was known for being a very civic-minded person, who wanted what was best for the community. In 1967, Burdman donated the historic bells, which were collected from abandoned churches, schoolhouses and public buildings in northeast Missouri. Each bell was meant to represent the ideals of liberty, justice, religion and education.

The funds to build the wall which houses the bells were provided in large part by contributions from Truman’s spring and summer classes of 1967.

Nominated for Pushcart Prizes in 2005, 2014 and 2016, her poetry has been published widely and is featured on the recording “Word” with the Jessica Jones Quartet.

A native New Yorker, living in Oakland, Calif., White serves on the board of directors for Nomadic Press. She is a faculty advisor in the low-residency BFA creative writing program at Goddard College and was a visiting scholar at San Francisco State University’s The Poetry Center, where she developed a digital special collections on black women poets in The Poetry Center Archives.

Anton Daughters, assistant professor of anthropology, will present “Why the Seventeenth Century Was the Most Defining Century for the Hopi” at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 in the Student Union Building Georgian Room A as part of the Faculty Forum.

Presentation Abstract:
For a 50-year stretch in the seventeenth century, Spanish Franciscan missionaries lived on the Hopi mesas on a more or less permanent basis. The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 brought that occupation to an abrupt halt. Spanish documents recently translated as part of the Hopi Documentary History Project, and published alongside interviews in 2015 in the first volume of “Moquis and Kastiilam: Hopis, Spaniards, and the Trauma of History,” offer new insights into what that period of Franciscan presence meant from both a Spanish and Hopi perspective. Daughters will outline this tumultuous history from 1629 to 1680, discussing key documents and collective memories that clarify the understanding of the Hopi-Franciscan relationship while simultaneously raising new questions. He will also discuss work on volume two of “Moquis and Kastiilam,” expected to be completed by the spring of 2018.

Kirksville will host an Opioid Summit in Northeast Missouri highlighting opioid abuse and discussing interventions in the state.

This will allow the other student performers to move around and enjoy student speeches as well.  

The public is invited to meander through the museum in self-paced style. Each student presentation is 3-5 minutes. Students will share brief insights about the characters, as well as the rhetorical situation, and will perform excerpts of the dialogue/speeches.  

Students are also invited to join the Communication Club. NCASC is committed to enriching the lives of undergraduate communication majors and minors by promoting the study and application of communication principles through educational and social functions.

Barry Poyner serves as an advisor to the organization, the only NCA student club in the state of Missouri. Bethany Spitzmiller serves as club president. NCA members will assist as night watchmen.

Those attending are encouraged to vote for the best portrayal based on dress and delivery of quotes, as well as understanding of character, rhetorical situation and rhetorical splendor. The event is free and open to the public. For additional information, contact Poyner at 660.785.4063 or bpoyner@truman.edu.

Truman is offering a new study abroad opportunity to learn about the history and contemporary events in Cuba.

Only 90 miles from the United States, Cuba has remained a forbidden territory for most U.S. citizens since the Revolution of 1959. Cuba is a former Spanish colony and sugar-producing slave society, and one of the last countries of Latin America to achieve independence from Spain in 1898. Between 1898 and 1959, the U.S. held an outsized influence on the island. In 1959, Cuban was the site of the hemisphere’s first successful socialist revolution. While most people in the U.S. know little about Cuba today, Cubans are acutely aware of the United States and the long-intertwined history between the two countries.

During the midterm break, March 10-18, students will have a unique opportunity to travel to Cuba to take a close look at issues of global economics, conflict and peace, race, culture, the environment and U.S. relations.

Participants will examine Cuban national priorities, such as universal education and health care; visit schools, museums, cultural and historical sites; discuss with Cubans the effects of recent changes in U.S. and Cuban relations including the longstanding U.S. embargo on Cuba; learn about Cuba’s history of sugar production and slavery; and experience the sights, sounds and tastes of old Havana, its neighborhoods, and the surrounding countryside.

Information sessions on this intensive international learning experience will take place at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 15 in McClain Hall 211 and at 5 p.m. Nov. 30 in McClain Hall 209.

Students can earn one credit for this study abroad experience (CUB 310). The course is open to all majors and has no prerequisites. It runs parallel to Latin American Revolutions (HIST 391), but enrollment in that class is not a requirement.

Applications and a $350 non-refundable deposit are due by Jan. 19.

For more information and an application contact Marc Becker, McClain Hall 227, 660.785.6036.
