In the final program of spring 2023, Auburn University Libraries’ Discover Auburn Lecture Series will present John Slemp talking about his new book “Bomber Boys – WWII Flight Jacket Art.” Slemp will be joined in the program by World War II U.S. Army Air Corps veterans Ambers Hansen and Orrin Brown. The lecture will take place on Wednesday, April 5 at 3 p.m. in the Caroline Marshall Brown Auditorium located on the ground floor of the Ralph Brown Draughon Library.

“Bomber Boys – WWII Flight Jacket Art” by John Slemp is a visual record of A-2 jackets worn by bomber air crews. The jackets in his book represent all World War II theaters of operations. The photos were taken by Slemp from both museums and private owners. Along with artifacts photos and personal accounts, these jacket photos reveal a visual diary of a man’s service in the U.S. Army Air Corps.

Two World War II U.S. Army Air Corps veterans will also be on hand for the lecture.

Technical Sergeant Ambers E. Hanson was a Radio Operator on both B-17s and B-24s.  Stationed in Mendlesham, England, he flew 25 missions before turning 21 in France, Germany, and what was then Czechoslovakia as a member of the 8th Air Force “Mighty Eighth,” 34th Bomb Group, 391st Bomb Squadron. His crew also participated in the food drops over Holland.  His plane was the B-17 called the Battlin’ Butch.  He joined the U.S. Army Air Corp before finishing high school.  He would return to his schooling post-war, graduating from Auburn (then API) with the class of 1952.

An Opelika native, Orrin Brown (API class of 1941) flew 30 missions in World War II and never dropped a bomb while with the 492nd Bomb Group/801st Squadron. Brown was one of the initial members of the Carpetbaggers, a secret unit that was part of the newly formed Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of today’s CIA. The unit worked in conjunction with the British SOE (Special Operations Executive), and dropped agents, supplies, and leaflets into western Europe from bomber aircraft. Brown stayed in the Air Force Reserves after the war and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1962. Brown was honored in March of 2018 with a Congressional Gold Medal as a part of the original OSS during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. He turns 103 on April 4.

The public is welcome and there will be a question-and-answer period after the lecture.

Dr. Megan Buchanan, associate professor of anthropology, and Dr. Michael Walters, AU NAGPRA coordinator, will be the speakers.

NAGPRA also authorizes federal grants to Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations and museums to assist with the documentation and repatriation of Native American cultural items.

The lecture is open to the public and will take place in the Caroline Marshall Draughon Auditroium on the ground floor of RBD Library.

AU Libraries’ Discover Auburn Lecture Series begins its spring season of programs with a celebration of the life and works of acclaimed African-American composer, William Levi Dawson (1899 to 1990). The lecture by Dr. Mark Hugh Malone will be presented in the Caroline Marshall Draughon Auditorium of the Ralph Brown Draughon Library on February 2 at 3 p.m.

Dr. Malone’s presentation on Dawson will be based on research done while writing his soon-to-be-published book, “William Levi Dawson: American Music Educator.” The timing of the publication coincides with the 100th anniversary of Dawson’s first significant composition, “Jump Back, Honey, Jump Back.”

In addition to his many compositions, Alabama native Dawson was also a music educator. He graduated from Tuskegee Institute in 1921 and later taught there from 1930-1955.

The public is welcome and Dr. Malone will be on hand to answer questions after the lecture.

The Social Inequalities class taught by Makeela J. Wells will display their work on the Ralph Brown Draughon Library’s Digital Wall from 12 – 1 p.m. on Friday, January 20. The project title is Understanding Inequality through Infographics and is based on research the students conducted on social issue topics during the fall semester.

This class included students from sociology, anthropology, and social work majors. In the Fall 2022 semester, Dr. Wells’ students created infographics in groups using Adobe Creative Cloud Express [https://express.adobe.com], via collaboration with Dr. Chelsy Hooper and Jonah Lasley of the AU Libraries’ Innovation & Research Commons. 

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to come view the display which will run exclusively 12- 1 p.m. on January 20. Before and after the scheduled program, the display is available on-demand through an iPad control panel for the Digital Wall; access it under Presentations, Student Work, Makeela Wells.  The Digital Wall [https://lib.auburn.edu/digital-wall/] is located on the 1st floor of the RBD Library as part of the Innovation & Research Commons [https://lib.auburn.edu/irc/index.php]. 

Additional projects from fall 2022 are available for viewing. Emory Serviss’ Digital Marketing class collaborated with Dr. Chelsy Hooper and Jennilyn Wiley to learn how to use Adobe Rush to make a marketing video and market it. Students visited the Adobe Creative Space [https://aub.ie/ircadobe] in the RBD Library, practiced hands-on editing techniques, and used Adobe Creative Cloud Express [https://express.adobe.com] to design graphics and social media posts for their group content marketing project. The top “viewed” class videos are now available for on-demand display on the Digital Wall in the RBD Library, first floor. Visitors can access it via the iPad in front of the Digital Wall by going to Presentations, Student Work, Serviss: Digital Marketing. 

Djibo Zanzot’s Biology students and John Beckmann’s Scientific Illustration students collaborated to create new scientific imagery. As many of the species being researched by Dr. Zanzot's Biology students are critically endangered and those remaining can number in the single digits, it can be hard to source images that are high enough quality and that are open to use. Dr. Zanzot also wanted his class to highlight different cell types found within these species and it has proven hard to source high resolution images of cells in past semesters of this project. The students in Dr. Beckmann’s Scientific Illustration class were assigned a group from the biology class as a "client" and worked with those students to create original artwork of the endangered species as well as some of the unique cell types found within, using Adobe Creative Cloud applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator. The scientific artwork is on display on-demand on the Digital Wall via the iPad control panel under Presentations. These projects were made possible through library personnel collaborations including Patricia Hartman, Jonah Lasley, and Chris Mixon. 

All Auburn students have access to Adobe Creative Cloud [https://adobe.auburn.edu]. The Adobe Creative Space personnel can assist faculty and instructors in integrating Adobe Creative Cloud applications into courses: contact Chelsy Hooper at hooperc@auburn.edu for more information or visit https://aub.ie/ircadobe. For questions regarding the Digital Wall, contact Chris Mixon at mixonch@auburn.edu or visit https://lib.auburn.edu/digital-wall/
