she describes as a "general arrangement of collaboration and partnership between students and myself

Professor Crowdes says that

her teaching even better. Professor
Crowdes stated, "I really love and
appreciate students who did this.
I'm really there for them."
The President's award recognizes and rewards faculty members
who "introduce new and innovative
techniques, methodologies, exercises, methods of delivery or use of
technology in teaching, that engage
students and produce a significant
impact on their ability to learn and
retain knowledge."
All current faculty are eligible
and only currently enrolled students are eligible to nominate faculty members. Students submit a
letter of nomination that discusses
the innovation in teaching (i.e. What
was new or different about the
teaching, methodology, techniques,
etc.?) and how the innovation
helped the student learn and retain
the lesson.
A nomination committee (consisting of two current students from
ASI, one faculty member chosen by
the Academic Senate, and an individual appointed by the President)
reviews the nominations. The nomination committee will choose at
least two candidates and give their
recommendations to the President,
who will make thefinalselection.
The deadline for students to turn
in their nominations i s set for April
17,2000, and the award announcement is set for May 19,2000, during

At the Thursday, March 9,2000 premiere of the Meeting Grace concert house
in Golden Hills, forty fans enjoyed coffee and homemade desserts while they
listened to the music of Dead Rock West, Berkley Hart (last year's winner of
the New Folk Songwriter Competition in Texas), and Gregory Page. Softly lit
candles scattered throughout the room provided ample light. Chairs gently set on
the woodenfloorsprovided a perfect view to the corner of the room that was set
aside as the stage. Atfirsttensionfilledthe room because, for many, a concert in
someone's home was a new experience. Lizzie Wann, creator of Meeting Grace
and owner of the home, warmly welcomed the guests.
Laughter f rom the
audience was common
throughout the evening;
Angelou states that her
"poetry is actually touching people and making a
difference."
She told a touching
story about her son having
surgery after going into
organ failure. Angelou
received a call from her
son after visiting him in
the hospital. He asked her
to read "Recovery," which
Angelou often read to her
son when he was a child,
and that she in turn read
for the audience. When she
finished reading it to her
son over the phone, he told
her she "forgot a verse,"
so they recited the poem
together. When they f inished, her son thanked her
because he had j ust had
190 stitches taken out as
they recited the poem
together.
Angelou 'ended the
evening with a poem about
women being phenomenal.
Again she made the audience laugh as she gave a
short rant on how wonderful women are, "not to discount that men are phenomenal, but you men have
to write your own poem."
Angelou gave a dignified bow as she left the
stage and carefully walked
off the steps of the stage.
The audience gave her a
standing ovation and an
audience member said, "I
wish this was a concert so
she would come back for
an encore."
On the Meeting Grace T-shirts, Lizzie Wann quotes Woodie Guthrie, an
infamous folk singer, to try and explain the reason for house concerts. Guthrie
says, "I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your
work. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars
every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that
knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and
the ones that make you think you've not any sense at all. But I decided a long
time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio
waves... are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as
that anyhow."
Playing a mix of covers and his own works, Gregory Page easily slipped into
the storyteller role as each song unfolded a different part of his musical genius.
With songs like, Jimmy Page's "Going to California," the crowd swayed in time
with the guitar. "Buffalo Hunters," sang with Frank Drennen, was upbeat but the
words stabbed at the heart of our nation's darker history. Page's soft, soulful voice
filled the room with passionate longing—I was mesmerized by its beauty, and yet
imperfection as well.
Afterwards, sipping coffefe and buying Music for Mortals, the new Page cd,
I asked him where he gets his ideas. He said that they don't come often enough
but justfrom"ya know" as he shrugged with the humility of a true artist. As other
writers before me have said, this is one star destined to light up the sky with his
brilliance.
Berkley Hart's songs were primarily country, but their use of a Djembe
(African) drum was beautiful and hit right into my heart. Their final song came
with fair warning to "grab tissues now!" "Barrel of Rain" is the most beautiful
melody about sorrow and despair of true, everlasting love. It touched all of us as
we silently stared in anguish as they played on.
At the beginning of the night, the crowd was able to relax and enjoy the
harmonization of Dead Rock West. Their highlight was a song titled "Lust, Flesh
and Pride/' in the style of Indigo Girls. Wasserman sang the lead in a strong but
timid voice. Themes of love, sex, and all the metaphors in between provided this
song with quite a bit of heart. Dead Rock West are poignant, American folks and
their music follows suit.
Somehow every slight technical mistake made the entire show down to earth.
Lights and smoke and electric everything has become so commonplace that to be
able to sit down with a small crowd and just relax to some quiet acoustic music
refreshed my spirit. In between songs, the banter between musicians was light and
easy going butfilledwith enough dry humor that the crowd roared with laughter.
Another fan, David Randle stated, "I am going to be telling everyone I know
about your wonderful venue. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and generous
spirit to do all of this for the music community."
Meeting Grace will continually run concerts every six weeks. Eve Selis
performs next on April 27th. Tickets are ten dollars and include coffee and dessert.
If great music in a relaxing atmosphere is your idea of a great night, you can
contact Lizzie Wann for tickets.

B itch-Bitch-Bitch
J. Jirard Patmon
Bitchers of CSUSM unite! It is time my fellow bitch-o-holics
to join together in dysfunctional solidarity. Let us be one with the
spirit of the bitch. We bitch therefore we are!
We endure 78 east from San Marcos Blvd to Nordhal, we
have suffered through the 15 south connector and the 78, we
are chastened by the 15 north and the 78 west connector in the
mornings, tormented by the "triangle", browbeaten on the way to
the airport during any holiday, assaulted by poor parking spaces
everywhere but specifically at CSUSM, incensed by the Dome
food, outraged by textbook prices, flabbergasted by long lines,
shocked and appalled with bad haircuts, enraged by dirty dishes
in the sink, disgruntled with unresponsive lovers, bewildered by
lack of monetary stability, hateful of Republicans and Democrats,
shell-shocked about gas prices, pissed off about promptness of
food and beverage delivery at eating establishments. We bitch
about how much we bitch, how slow the Internet is moving, about
apathetic students, apathetic professors, apathetic administrators,
walking up stairs, library services, proposition you name it!
I am a Jedi knight of bitching, I have trained diligently, spent
hours upon hours practicing with one of the most prolific bitchers
known to man; my mother. I am primed, tuned and ready to bitch.
So when I read fellow bitchers' comments about the Cashiers
Office I came to the stark realization; bitchers of today are bitching
just to bitch.
My fellow bitcher, do you think Paula Cameron, Tanya
Calienta, Teressa Romero and Alma McFarland have anything
to do with the price of parking pennits, YOUR late fee or any
other frivolous bitch? These individuals are respectful, efficient,
and friendly, considering they deal with you on a daily basis. I
wonder how much bitching you or your bitching cohort would
do if you worked on this campus and had to deal with asinine
UNINFORMED bitchers like yourself? So as you BITCH about
the Cashiers office ask yourself these questions: are you involved
with voting in all arenas: School, Local, State, Federal? Also ask
yourself: what are you doing to change things? Or are you running
your mouth and needlessly wasting air just to hear yourself bitch?
My suggestion to anyone who has any great ideas how to run a
department at CSUSM, go work or intern there and see if your
attitude doesn't change. Some things suck in life: traffic, lovers,
gas prices etc... These things can be dealt with on a more positive
note. Plus I am sick of hearing you bitch and I am sick of tolerating
my own bitching because no one wants to hear it.

Dr. Riane Eisler gazed out at

been burned for even considering her
ideas. Although things have changed
considerably, she said, our society
is still modeled on a "dominator

based on "superiority or inferiority,
controlling or being controlled/'
Dr. Eisler, a noted author,
speaker, and cultural historian, presented "Our Story: The World From a

our future."
We dismiss earlier, equitable
societies as primitive, she said, and
insist on applying the dominator

patriarchy it must be matriarchy,"
she said. "Aren't these just two sides
