Mike is the liar. There are exactly 4 people in the Oaxaca system who know me, and none of them have met him.

BA English U of Washington 1966
MA English San Francisco State University 1968
PhD English University of Massachusetts 1972

Mike was a lowly Associado B in the Oaxaca state system. He also can't read, as nowhere did I claim to have a PhD in writing TOEFL exams--gives us a break neanderthal man--but that I have designed those exams. I have also designed and taught TOEFL courses for 10 years.

Stay out of the sandbox, oh cretinous one. You ate most of the sand you pissed on anyway.

The Haight in '68. My, I am impressed now, MR.

MR, what do you think of Vine DeLoria? A Native American friend had me read him once.

Also, during your stay in Santa Fe, were you acquainted with St. John's College? Am looking into doing a Masters there.

1967 was The Summer of Love in the Haight--and the summer of our discontent at San Francisco State and UC Berkely, where a number of us--grad student and professors in the Poetry Center primarily, went to jail for protesting the Vietnam War, and the Black Student Union struck against Gov. Ronald Reagan. In 68 we all left the Cal. university system for points east (some of us to teach at universities in the Chicago area like I did, and others to Massachusetts and Rhode Island.)

What do I think of Deloria? In regard to what? He wrote a fairly decent book about a friend of mine, now dead, Frank Waters. I think it was called Frank Waters: Man and Mystic.

Frank was not a Native American, but he wrote several wonderful books about the Hopi. He also wrote the first book which brought folks' attention to the Mayan Prophecies, called Mexico Mystique: The Coming Sixth World of Consciousness.

I spent 10 years in Santa Fe--originally went there as Director of Adult and Continuing Education at the College of Santa Fe. I had quite a bit of contact with St. John's during the time I was there, gave a reading of my poetry there in the late 80s if I remember correctly. Occasionally gave presentations about film there as well, as I was the film critic for the Albquerque Journal North for a number of years--although gave more of those through the Jung Society.

St. John's is/was regarded as an elitist--some would say reactionary--college. I have no idea whether their graduate programs are worthwhile.

I just unlocked this thread. If the personal attacks and insults continue, the thread will disappear.

There are boards which permit such behavior. This is not one of them.

I, too, like MR's posts. Very Happy

If you want my gut reaction to the St. John's option, I would say that the expense is disproportionate to what you'll receive. Since the degrees from there are infrequently useful in the employment marketplace, why not spend the money traveling to the "source" spots and studying in situ? (You'll undoubtedly have some left over....)
