On February 17 1913, New Yorkers witnessed the opening of the International Exhibition of Modern Art, known as the Armory Show. As the largest exhibition of European and American avant-garde art in the nation to date, it changed the history of art in America. Matisse, Picasso, Duchamp, Picabia, and Brancusi were praised and reviled -- their galleries dubbed "the chamber of horrors." American artists dominated the galleries but most were ignored by the critics, collectors, and public who came in droves to see and buy the "futurist" art. We will study the art, cartoons, and commentary of this revolutionary exhibition.

Archaeologists and historians once believed that most of Northeast Georgia was an empty no-mans-land between Chiefdoms located on the major rivers between AD 1400 and 1550. They further believed that these Chiefdoms collapsed following the expedition of Hernando de Soto in 1540-42. Recent research, however, reveals a very different situation.This presentation will summarize the results of recent archaeological research and our new understanding of the Native American occupation of Northeast Georgia. The period between AD 1400 and 1670 was more complex and interesting than it has traditionally been portrayed.

During 1942, neither the US Navy nor the Imperial Japanese Navy thought that the decisive battle of the Pacific War would be fought over a small, isolated, Southwest Pacific island located in the remote Solomon Islands chain. Both navies were locked in the most SUSTAINED naval campaign of the Pacific War, centered around the island of Guadalcanal.

The end is nigh for 23% of Social Security: The Congressional Budget Office projects that in 10 years the program will be able to pay retirees only 77% of their scheduled benefits. For some, this cut would be inconvenient; for the 40% of retirees who rely on Social Security for most of their income, it would be disastrous. Since politicians’ pledges never to cut Social Security cannot be redeemed at the grocery store, the program must be changed if it is to honor its commitments. This course explores the leading proposals to restore Social Security to financial solvency.
