Dear Bob and all, I understand what you mean.  Two weeks ago I found out that
our
department's divorce (Anthropology and Geography) was final and Geography, of
which I
am, is moving out to a remote campus while keeping our classes on the main
campus.
Ugh--then 3 hours later, the Chair of Nebraska Wesleyan offered me an office,
with
computer, paper and printer ink to write my dissertation and book plus a modest
stipend, and I mean modest, to teach one accounting class this fall.  I get the
office
etc., for a year, so I took it.  Now I will be mainly teaching for UNL with a
shared
office, no computer, etc., and writing the dissertation at another.  I have to
move by
the 17th, and then I will find out what my new addresses are and new telephone
numbers
also.  Ah the life of an academe.  At least we haven't moved our residence,
somethings
need to stay stable.

BTW the book I am writing is a textbook which none of you will ever want to use,
its
for Economic Geography.

Mel -- I might be interested in your text.  We have a full-fledged
Geography Dept. here, and they are looking to do new, interesting
things.  They recently started a Medical Geography class, which has
gone well.  ALSO, the topic sounds like it might be vaguely
appropriate for one of our popular Anthro classes, Exploring Non-
Western Cultures, which focuses on economy/ecology as an inroad to
examining different sorts of traditional adaptations.

SO, keep us posted!

Mary Kay

The election results are in. As you recall Dennis will not be able to
take on the role as president-elect. I do believe we might have someone;
I'm still waiting to confirm. Thanks to those of you who voted.   Ann

Mel:  We don't have anything full-time right now, but could probably use
an adjunct in both Geography and Anthropology!



I'm hopeful that we will get a full-time person in GEO soon, but not for
this coming academic year.  I'll let you know if anything comes up.

The AAA has scheduled New Orleans for its 2010 meeting. Again the union
issue has arisen.

If you would like to express your opinion on the AAA's decision (read
the attachment) I will relay it to the SA convenor. I believe the AAA
wanted to do their part in a substantive way to support this city, which
we keep getting reminders of from the recent flooding in the Midwest.

Subject: [aaaSectionPresidents] Query re AAA 2010

Dear SA members:

As you may recall, on June 2 the AAA membership received an email letter

from Setha Low, Alan Goodman, and Dan Segal explaining the decision
taken a year ago by the EB to hold the AAA 2010 meeting in New Orleans.
   I won't repeat the content here, but will attach a copy of the letter
they sent.

The letter was motivated by some AAA members who approached Setha and
others on the EB about why the AAA would be meeting in a location
lacking unionized facilities.  Their letter pointed out that the AAA
membership in 2005 voted that they "strongly preferred" (but did not
insist on) meeting in unionized facilities.  This position was endorsed
by the Section Assembly. Therefore, the decision to meet in New Orleans
was taken in compliance with AAA policy guidelines.  The letter goes on
to discuss the complex rationale for choosing New Orleans as a venue
taking into account labor and other issues, notably the desire to
support the city and its residents following Katrina.

Nonetheless, there are some AAA members who are dissatisfied with the
decision and so I felt, in consultation with the SA Working Group, that
it would be worth raising the matter on the SA listserv.  I will share
briefly with you the gist of some of the SAWG's productive thinking,
with an invitation to you to consult with your section membership and
get back to the SA with any ideas you would like to share.  We hope that

this will lead in some positive directions well in advance of the 2010
meetings, avoiding last-minute debates over the decision taken.

In general, the SA Working Group is inclined to think that the best
approach may be to use the meeting venue in New Orleans to address
issues relating to labor, gay rights, and post-Katrina racial
justice--and to invite local activists and community members to
participate.  This is a strategy supported by members of EB as well.
There may be others who will say that an alternative should have been
found to meeting in in a venue lacking in union facilities, though we
are aware of the many difficult factors in choosing meeting venues for
an organize the size of AAA.  We have heard that at least a couple of
sections are now planning to hold their events in New Orleans at venues
away from the non-union conference hotel.  That is certainly one viable
strategy to handle what one member of the SAWG aptly called a "thorny
convergence of historical and contextual factors."

Other sections are creatively discussing plans to organize panels at the

2010 meeting on the convergence and divergence of different social
justice movements (relevant to New Orleans as conference site).  Some of

us would advocate for the AAA conference that year to have an overall
theme that would address all these concerns.

As SA begins to play a more significant role in governance, members are
encouraged to use this listserv as a space for constructive discussion.
With that in mind, we invite you to share any thoughts you and your
sections may have, particularly those that go "outside the box" to
generate ideas that we may be put into practice.

Please consider the conversation open and let us hear from you.
All best wishes,

Florence Babb
SA Convenor

Bob,

   A real university! Sounds like politics and a good story. I'll buy you that
drink at the next SACC meeting in exchange for that story.

   By the way I just returned from a vacation to the central coast, around 400
miles round trip. Got 47 miles a gallon in the my new Prius!

In almost the blink of an eye, Capilano has lost its status as a community
college and has been re-designated a university. Effective immediately. My
new email address is bmuckle@capilanou. <mailto:bmuckle%40capilanou.ca> ca

And, "No, this does not mean I will be buying celebratory drinks for all at
the next SACCfest." A lot of people at Capilano are excited to be associated
with a university, but not me. I never wanted to be a university professor,
and still don't. I want to be an instructor at a community college.

For those who want to help cheer me up, I am open to the idea of people
buying me drinks at the next SACC meeting. I like beer, and rye whiskey. And
brandy. Not in the same glass.

I am also open to the idea of changing jobs with somebody who teaches at a
real community college, preferably male and kind of goofy-looking since we
will have to assume one another's identity to get around all that
contractual stuff. As an incentive, I offer my 1995 4 x 4 super-bad GMC
Suburban. Its a good vehicle, and still cost less than $300 per fill-up.

With all this SACC-L gushing about the Toyota Prius, I started feeling a little
guilty, but not a lot. I got to thinking. First, that I might be kicked out of
SACC for driving a big old Suburban, with the biggest engine that fits. But..I
am trying to sell it. Not nay takers. What a surprise. So, now I'm thinking I
might just store it. It might look good in a museum of the late 20th century.
"In the days when gas was cheaper than water." Besides I've got a pick-up truck
that I usually drive anyway. Now...before you start impeachment proceedings to
get me kicked out of SACC....the pick up is a Toyota pick-up!

So, now I'm thinking we can just buy wholly into the corporatization of
education in North America. Why not sell naming rights to SACC? We can become
T-SACC (Toyota-SACC).

You're welcome.

I do so enjoy the humor of my colleagues, Bob Muckle, Phil Stein, Mark
Lewine, etc. I sit here, as I have been doing at least 3-4 afternoons a
week for some weeks now, clearing out my office of 21 years worth of
books, teaching and conference materials, and PAPER! Every crannie had
been filled. Most of it will just have to be carried out in boxes and
sorted later. Your smiling commentary lifts my spirits.

Your newly-retired colleague (though I will teach one course in the fall
and one in the spring),

Golly gee, some of you Prius people get better gas mileage than my
Honda Goldwing motorcycle, even when I don't exceed speed limits.

I bought a new car this year and seriously considered a Prius.  With
the help of Consumer Reports, I researched and compared it with a
Honda Civic (non-hybrid).  With the government hybrid rebate I would
have done okay, but it was no longer available.  So, factoring in
initial costs and gas mileage averages among other things over a 5-
year period, the Prius would have cost me about a thousand dollars
more.  Consequently, I replaced my beloved 2000 Honda Civic EX coup
with a 2008 Honda Civic EX coup.  It averages about 35 mpg mixed
driving if I don't exceed speed limits.  Incidentally, I've found that
staying below 70 mph saves considerable mileage in both the bike and
car.

So Bob, I stand with you against any impeachment proceedings that
might be initiated.  After all, not everyone can have a Prius, and
wouldn't it be boring if we all did?  Also, if SACC doesn't support
diversity in its ranks, what  organization could be expected to do so?

And you can also count on me for several drinks at the next SACC
meeting.  I've never hung out with many real university professors, so
I'm looking forward to the experience.

I agree with Ellen -- the humor is worth everything!  Thanks all!  I'll chime in
for a drink for Bob -- and Mark, Phil, Lloyd for that matter.

On another note, I just spent a fabulous day with Rebecca Cramer out "on the
rez".  Rebecca knows this country better than anyone.  We had a planning
expedition in anticipation of SACC Annual Meeting 2009, and visited both San
Xavier (Mission, Museum, etc.), and another part of the Tohono O'odham
reservation -- their new Cultural Center, which is small and manageable but also
fabulous.  We learned we could no longer visit the Baboquivari Park/Sacred Site
region without a permit (we almost blew it -- signs are few and often facing the
wrong direction -- but we noticed in time).  While we were out there, people
were on the road harvesting Saguaro Cactus fruit (these are the really tall
cactus with long arms, often featured in cartoon representations of the "Wild
West").  Harvesting the fruit is no easy feat -- all quite interesting.  It is
traditionally used for brewing wine, drunk to make the rains come (actually the
rains are upon us now -- we call them "monsoons" here).

Of course this is just to give you a taste of the place, and advertise
shamelessly in advance for our next Annual meetings.

All best --

With all this SACC-L gushing about the Toyota Prius, I started feeling a

kicked out of SACC for driving a big old Suburban, with the biggest
engine that fits. But..I am trying to sell it. Not nay takers. What a

So, now I'm thinking we can just buy wholly into the corporatization of

become T-SACC (Toyota-SACC).

You're welcome.

Thanks for this, Frank.  I had missed it.  I guess this is an eternal
argument, not to be solved in my lifetime.

   Sadly, the "education for employment" philosophy sends students the
message that credits count more than learning.  We academicians thus
become surrounded by the "how can I get the most for the least effort"
students, textbook publishers who encourage authors to write similar
books to get a slice of the same, largely unimaginative market,  and
the administrative numbers crunchers (our bosses) who, lacking the
courage to be real educational leaders, side against the "education as
nourishment for the soul" crowd.

As an optimist, I can hope that perhaps Ms. Jones' resignation will
start a national dialog on the subject that will carry over into
Barack's presidency (another optimist with hope, huh)!

Good to hear from you, Frank.  It's been a while.

Lloyd

Hi, most of you don't know me.  I teach Anthropology at San Jacinto
Commmunity College on the southeast side of Houston.  We have a
system-wide enrollment of almost 30,000 students.  I attended the
University of Virginia and graduated with a B.A. in Anthropology and
went on to get my Ph.D. in Anthropology from Northwestern
University.  Teaching at a Community College allowed me to raise my
daughter without the extra stress of a tenure decision.

Like most Community College instructors, my salary is not great and
my travel money even less so--just $850 a year is all I am allowed.
I haven't ever been able to justify the extra expense of annual
meetings--although, I have jealously read about the SACC ones.

I have been reading all your posts with great interest.  I found the
Student Learning Outcomes posts particularly interesting, I have to
struggle with those on my own, being the only full-time
Anthropologist.  In the interest of sharing my frustrations (and
joys?) in teaching the same survey courses over and over, I have
created a blog entitled "Teaching Anthropology".  I have just now
posted it and am hoping that it will grow to a free-ranging
discussion area for all interested parties.  I would like to be able
to discuss tips and issues with as many anthropology instructors as
possible.  I have future posts on Distance Learning, Collaborative
learning, and new Technology planned.  Please have a look and
contribute in any way you would like.  All viewpoints and suggestions
are heartily welcome.

The blog is here:

Hey, this is entirely on the subject: choices, limitations, technology and modes
of transportation in one's changing society.  I'll bite:
   I'd acquire a Prius if they had a pickup truck model.  I have lots of hauling
to do involving things that don't go well in the back of a leather-upholstered
sedan.
   My classic 1968 VW bug gets 28 mpg.  This was standard economy and efficiency
back when normal mileage ranged from 5 to 10 mpg.  Admiring passers-by gush
about my fuel savings, but I regularly point out that today's Cadillacs do
better.
   Right now I'm shopping around among the smaller pickups -- Chevy Colorado,
Ford Ranger, etc.  My last pickup was a no-frills, tiny 1993 Toyota.  (Yes,
fuel-savers, applause and kudos will be accepted by my publicist).  The tiny
German "Smart Car," due on the market next year, is intriguing.  You'll
recognize one if you visualize a small pickup truck with the rear axle moved
forward and the load bed torched off.  It can also be described as a couch with
wheels and a roof.  Should compete with the Prius.
   But back to regular trucks, I once shared Bob's impression (mostly from
folklore) that Toyotas are great on gas and last forever.  Latest research into
the Toyota Tacoma unearthed a professional auto mechanic who sold his because he
was disappointed with the gas mileage on the new, enlarged Tacoma (under 20
mpg), and bought a Tundra.  At least Tundra marketing doesn't claim it's a
fuel-saver, he said.
   A prime example of energy savings motivated by revenge.
   The shopping, astonishing war-stories and research continue.  Bicycle
commuting would be great if I could manage to decrease my commutation distance
below 60 mi. round trip. I thoroughly enjoyed 2 and a half years of bicycle
commuting while in Germany, where they seem to have mastered the art of keeping
jobs closer to home (4 or 5 miles).
   Next we will consider the ox cart.

I bought a new car this year and seriously considered a Prius.  With
the help of Consumer Reports, I researched and compared it with a
Honda Civic (non-hybrid).  With the government hybrid rebate I would
have done okay, but it was no longer available.  So, factoring in
initial costs and gas mileage averages among other things over a 5-
year period, the Prius would have cost me about a thousand dollars
more.  Consequently, I replaced my beloved 2000 Honda Civic EX coup
with a 2008 Honda Civic EX coup.  It averages about 35 mpg mixed
driving if I don't exceed speed limits.  Incidentally, I've found that

staying below 70 mph saves considerable mileage in both the bike and
car.

So Bob, I stand with you against any impeachment proceedings that
might be initiated.  After all, not everyone can have a Prius, and
wouldn't it be boring if we all did?  Also, if SACC doesn't support
diversity in its ranks, what  organization could be expected to do so?

And you can also count on me for several drinks at the next SACC
meeting.  I've never hung out with many real university professors, so

I'm looking forward to the experience.

Hi all, I have enjoyed this discussion on vehicles, the adventures of
Muckle and all.  George, I would like to recommend that you look at a
Honda Element as a vehicle that can haul a lot in a small space (42 file
boxes in the back with seats out and still have rear visability) and
even pull a small trailer. I have had one for over four years and am
very satisfied. Mileage is around 20 mile/gal  depending on your speed.
Very easy to clean the "box".
  I finished my last field class (survey) last week and I am now
officially retired although committed to assist our new hire, Dustin
McKenzie as he jumps in next week to the field excavation class. My
email remains the same but my Cabrillo phone will be 831-479-6727. And
Yes Bob, I will also be glad to contribute to your alcohol problem. See
you in AZ. Julie says hi also.

Subject: Clarifying 2 Matters, Reminder, Request

Aloha,

Hopefully, you already know about the University of California/Public
Anthropology sponsored competitions that will award two book contracts
this fall (click on link for details).
http://www.publicanthropology.org/paca-website/dd3a2b20cf54762ad5d681b50
78ae79b/a.php

May I may clarify two matters, offer a reminder, and make a request?

1). In response to numerous questions, we have deleted the "mid-career"
qualification. There are now two categories to apply in: (a) individuals
with doctorates and (b) graduate students who have not yet received
their doctorates.  (For the materials each must submit with their
proposals, please see the above link).

2). The deadline for the competition is October 1, 2008.

3). Please be sure to review the Overview statement on the
publicanthropology.org website at
http://www.publicanthropology.org/paca-website/dd3a2b20cf54762ad5d681b50
78ae79b/b.php. It is essential reading to understand the criteria we
will use in evaluating submissions.

4). I would appreciate your forwarding this email to any who you suspect
might not normally receive it, especially people in other departments.
Our email list is limited.

THANK YOU.

Hopefully, you will find this email's cartoon as delightful as I do
