As possibly the dominant art/entertainment form of the present day, film involves the imaginations and collaborations of many people in telling a story. Music provides the gel that solidifies the film components of writing, acting, photography, sound, costumes and sets into an artistic whole. To experience a film from an aural perspective we will look at the evolution of film music during the twentieth century, focusing on elements that have remained constant and those elements that have changed. We will analyze the sound tracks of particular films to observe how the composer uses the abstract medium of music to strengthen or possibly weaken the storyline of the film -how music can sustain drama and intensify the inner thoughts of characters. Included will be discussions on the functions of film music and the process of scoring film. While listening to and analyzing the soundtracks of films from the US, Japan, Italy, France, Russia, and India, we will compare the music from these films with one another to see how each culture uses the medium of music to enhance the storytelling. Satisifies intercultural exploratory requirement. Fees: $100.00 for transportation

The nonviolent Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's and early '60's, one of the most remarkable grassroots movements of the 20th century, did not begin with a single brave act of one woman, Rosa Parks, nor can its direction and success be credited to one talented man, Martin Luther King, Jr. It took thousands of leaders, ordinary citizens, strategizing, organizing, and acting together to transform American society. This course will begin with an introduction to leadership theory and skills, particularly organization, conflict resolution, negotiation, and decision-making, and will then apply these theories and skills in an examination of the leadership styles, challenges, setbacks, and successes of some of the lesser-known as well as famous leaders of the movement's marches, demonstrations, freedom rides, and negotiations. Particular attention will be paid to important decision-making moments in the struggle. Students will work individually and in small groups on short papers, written research projects, and oral presentations. In addition to regular class meetings, students should also expect to participate in one or two special events on campus. On days when the class will view a major film, students should expect to attend class from 9 to 12. Some activities may be scheduled in the afternoon or evening. Satisfies intercultural exploratory requirement.
