I went thru one of the back entrances (the old 'Gringo Alley' venue).  They
asked me for my ID, which I didn't have, then called the security office to
check my name & ID number, which I did remember.  I was let in.  I walked past
the swan pond, the men's and women's dorm and cafeteria, then the library, which
has an extra storey to it now , and the new bushes and 'improvements' that were
being put in place.  The campus is replete with bushes and improvements -
oversaturated.  I noticed coming in from Puebla (also via 'Gringo Alley') that
student dorms now occupy the rearmost part of the campus.
So I went to the bursar's office to get a refund on some money I had paid for a
class in '04, and they're now charging me 10% to get it back.  I left the campus
in a stew.  That was the impression I left with - they're a ripoff.
Cholula town is the same as it was a few years back - in '04.  The fountain in
the plaza replaced by a restaurant, the portales filled with restaurants.  My
two favorite places were gone - the 'aguas' place on the portales - fresh fruit
drinks and paletas de agua y crema, and barquillos; and the little pastry place
around the corner.  Actually it was a piece-of-cake place, with the chocolate
place taking top billing.  The other places around the corner were still there,
including the DIF and the great Centro de Cultura.  The atole and tamal stands
were still there, and the roast chicken place across the mercado doing well.  Of
course the mercado was the same, aguacates and the freshest produce and all. 
Prices were higher.
All in all, Cholula was looking good - UDLA looking pretty effete at this point.
The current administration seems lower key than the previous, which I think is
now at the Sorbonne?

No progress.  When I went back to UDLA in the '80s for at attempt at grad
school, I found the 'good Marvin' adherents and the 'bad Marvin' adherents. 
Actually the only person who was there from pre-1975 was Dean Box.  Anyway, I
started doing student teaching under a 'bad Marvin' adherent and got fired
pretty quickly.  My 'conspiracy theory' claims that there are still ghosts of
'bad Marvin' adherents who don't want his memory plaqued along with Moe
Williams', his compadre.  My sister interviewed at UDLA this summer, but chose
Tec de Monterrey; so, with time, I'm slowly divesting myself from the pond duck
(now swans) memories and the all-nite Humphrey Bogart movie marathons.

I never met him, but I would have liked to, if just for a
brief conversation about his writing career. Someone who has had an
impact on both M. and I, Tony Hillerman, passed away this Sunday, 10-
26-08, in Albuquerque, N.M.
	 His "Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee" mysteries are in a class of
their own. We were introduced to them by three PBS movie adaptations,
and then sought out the books.
    If you have the slightest interest in the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni,
etc., you will find his books fascinating. I strongly recommend
reading them chronologically.   The first one was, "The Blessing
Way," and the last, I believe, 18 books later, "The Shape Shifter."
As mentioned in several of his books, the AAA "Indian Country" map is
quite helpful in locating the sites in each book, unless they are
fictional. (Leaphorn also uses one to plot crimes.)
	 Hillerman was quoted recently, quite ill and coping with
severe arthritis, that he loved to write and kept it up, although his
hands "had become like two claws."
	 I am sad there will be no more Leaphorn/Chee mysteries, but
there are non-fiction books by Hillerman that I will pore through
page by page.
	 With Hillerman, I have felt a reluctance to keep reading as I
reached the final chapter of one of his books, wanting it to last
longer…

FELIZ DIA DE GRACIAS A TODOS!
CONSIDERANDO LAS ULTIMAS NOTICIAS ALREDEDOR DEL MUNDO Y LO QUE HA
OCCURIDO DURANTE EL ULTIMO ANO; HAY QUE DAR GRACIAS POR SALUD, TIEMPO Y
LOS PESOS QUE NOS QUEDA...
MANDO SALUDOS CALUROSOS A TODOS LOS MIEMBROS DEL GRUPO, JED

Hola, I just posted this on our parallel grupo de MCC:
"Quivole!
Hey, the price of cigs; now that is nostalgic for someone who did
a lot of smoking in Mexico. A la Ricardo, gracias for the nostalgia:
quit 31 years ago and it was quite a slog, but made it.
For the record: the exchange rate was 12.50 pesos to the dollar.
Hence the 4 cents a beer, XX, Carta Blanca, etc. And, if the gray
cells are chirping correctly, one dollar for a bottle of Bacardi or a
liter of tequila. Vices were cheeeeep!
Delicados! What a oxymoron of a brand name. Were they not oval-
shaped? In a thin pack. Faros? 20 centavos a pack and they made Pall
Malls seem like low-tar, low nicotine cigs.
Back in so-called "real time," has anyone been following the slow-
motion montana rusa of the peso exchange rate. For years, it has
slowly gone up, then slowly gone down, with a trading range between
c. 10 to 12 pesos to the dollar. (I've wondered if the exchange
market was being manipulated for the ricos benefit) Now it is c. 14
pesos to the dollar, and there are worries about its stability... Any
observations on this?
Feliz Nuevo Todo, Jed
PD Do they still have Delicados and Faros in Mexico; if so, what do
they sell for now?"

Here in sleepy Ciudad Juarez, there are Delicados, but they come with filter.  I
may still have smoked one or two filterless three or four years ago.
The downtown exchange shops are at about 13.50 now.  I changed some bucks a
couple of days ago for 13.10, and by noon it was 13.50.  It's been going up from
about 10 in the last few months.
When I lived in Mexico City it was 12.50 (from '56 to '65) and later, when I
returned in the '70s, the big inflation was just beginning, from which they
eventually chopped off 3 zeroes from their peso notes to get them back to some
normalcy.  During the '50s sodas were 45 centavos, buses 40 centavos, and they
had 5 centavo coins (they had 1 centavo coins but no one used them).  The bus
from DF to Laredo was 100 pesos.
I think cigarettes are about 20 pesos now, probably the cheap ones.  I don't
smoke that much.  Marlboro are strong, Raleigh probably the best.
But then you could see the volcanoes from anywhere in Mexico City.

Colegas,

I think "Alas" were the absolute, lowest-end cigarros in Mexico. My
grandfather began smoking them when he was about 14 with the workers
on
our family's sugar haciendas in Morelos before 1900.

He smoked 3 packs of them daily until he died at 88 in 1961 from
unrelated causes. He was a reasonably rich man, but he was outraged
when they raised the price from 15 centavos to 20 centavos per pack,
and swore that he'd quit smoking in protest ... which he never did,
of
course. That was in 1960, when I think the exchange rate was 12.5
pesos/dollar. I can't remember when the rate went from 8 to 12.5.

I graduated from MCC in 1962, and as I remember, tuition then was
$180/quarter. In 2008 dollars that would be $1285, or $3,855 for a 3
quarter academic year. I went all 4 quarters each year, and I
remember
my father groaning over the tuition costs, which in today's dollars
would be $5140. Not bad compared with Stanford's $34,800 this year,
but
then again, MCC wasn't Stanford. It was still expensive compared with
California's state college (now State University) system, which was
tuition-free for California residents. Even University of California
tuition was cheaper then than MCC. Tuition may have been relatively
high,but the real bargain of Mexico then was living (and smoking)
costs.

Ricardo Cassín

Hola Amigos,
     The good ole days, no?
     In 59-60, I remember paying $110 per quarter, and I maxed out at
c. 20 units every Q, allowing me to do two years in five quarters. I
had saved up money from a rocket guidance system tech job in So Cal,
and imagined I had just enough for 3 quarters and expenses.
     Moving to Cuajimalpa after the first two months--Aug/Sep '59--in
the city, though, changed everything.
     By late February, 1960, Maria and I were married. Our first home,
five rooms, enclosed patio, etc., freshly painted, was a grand $14 a
month. Before that, myself and several students shared a home @ $20 a
month.
     Then, there were the night-out excursions to Sep's in the city, a
T-bone like the map of South America, wonderful liter-steins of dark
beer, and the bill for two would be less than $5. First rate movie
tickets were 32 cents US; or there were triple features in Tacubaya
for 16 cents.
     Thank You Mexico for making so much possible for so little money!
     Cholesterol has put an alto to the big steaks and my metabolism
says no-oh to beer...but as Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the
memories."
     Saludos, Jed
PS Next month, M. and I will become 49ers!

From "Page One":
<<Tumbling Mexican Peso

The Mexican Exchange Commission, with members from the Mexican Central
Bank and the Ministry of Economics and Finance, stepped in the Forex
market in order to stop the depreciation of the Mexican Peso with
respect to the dollar. Yesterday's Interbank exchange rate closed at
MXN$14.58 per dollar, although it reached MXN$14.86 at airports.>>

Hola,
Que hay de nuevo en UDLAP?
Despues de toda la bronca con el ex-rector, habido un hueco en las noticias. El
crisis economico ha cerrado la escuela? Un OVNI ha llevado todos los maestros,
administradores y estudiantes a otra planeta? Chabello es el nuevo decano?

     Feliz primero de abril, Jed

My sister applied for jobs at UDLA and at Tec de Monterrey campus
Puebla-Cholula.  She decided to take the Tec job.  I didn't visit the UDLA
campus this last time I went down.  All I do is fight with the guys in the
Bursar's office as they're holding back money they owe me.

My brother did OK this year addressing the actuaries at UDLA.  He does this
every year from his job in NJ, but I think it's the free enchiladas he gets at
the school cafeteria.

Hola amigos y amigas,
    Ningun poste desde el primero de abril, el dia de bromas en los eeuu. Mas que
dos meses...que significa esto?
    Aca en Gringolandia hay noticias que Mexico esta en peores condiciones
economicas que los eeuu; que forma un crisis formidable.
     Es cierto? Que pasa con los estudiantes, quienes finanzas usualmente estan
al borde de bancarota?
     Aqui el "recovery" hasta ahora ha sido mucho guiri guiri y nada mas. Cada
dia hay mas empleos perdidos y miles de gentes perdiendo sus casas.

Moises Saba and Family Die
The helicopter carrying the businessman crashes in Mexico City

Moises Saba Masri died Sun. night in a helicopter he was riding along with some
relatives. The helicopter crashed in Cuajimalpa, Mexico City, leaving from the
Toluca airport in Mexico state, after a New York trip. Saba Masri displayed an
interest in business since he was very young, partnering with TV Azteca managing
soccer teams on television with Ricardo Salinas Pliego, with whom he founded
several businesses. The former nephew of one of the richest men in Mexico, Isaac
Saba Raffoul, he headed real estate companies (Group Celha, IUZA Group) and
together with his father, Alberto Saba Raffoul, built shopping malls. He planned
to erect a mixed use project (shops, homes, offices) in the capital's Paseo de
la Reforma. Investigations to find the cause of the accident continue, while the
bad weather which has hit central Mexico has yet to be ruled out as a factor.

Norman Bradley November 2 at 9:33am Report
Hi Jed, We just got back from San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato, Mexico. Nice
trip, about 10 days. We rented a vacation house from a friend of ours.
Off-season rate and a break on top of that. We had a whole house - two bedrooms,
two baths, etc. For less than hotel would cost. SMA is very picturesque and kept
in the old colonial style. I had been there first in the '50's, and again with
Dixie about 20 years ago. There are about 10,000 American living there, mostly
retirees. A lot of restaurants, activities, especially now -- the Bicentennial
of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution (1810). There was much going on.
There are a lot of hills, the walking about killed us, up and down, all street,
sidewalks, etc. are of stone or cobblestone. My old bones will never be the
same. But we saw a lot, a wonderful botanical garden just outside of town, an
old factory that is now about thirty art galleries and antique shops, the public
library in an old convent building, a special exhibition one of Mexico's major
artists (Juan O'Gorman), a toy museum, etc. Around the town square during this
festival time, there are people dressed in period costumes (1810). In the
historical part of town, you don't see any fast food places or anything like
that. It is very clean and the neighborhood regulations are very strict. La
Parroquía is the main church. I have dropped in a few photos for anyone
interested in seeing them. Dixie took over 500.
Our week at SMA ended and we took the bus to Guanajuato. We were a little
concerned about getting accommodations. It was not only the Bicentennial, it was
also the week of the annual "Festival Cervantino", a whole week dedicated to the
Spanish writer Cervantes with many activities, performances, etc. Guanajuato is
a very picturesque town, much of the old and historic still there and in good
shape. It was the birthplace of artist Diego Rivera. His family home is a
museum. We saw it before about 20 years ago, but now remodeled, and another
floor added. Great stuff. Many Rivera works, including some major ones from his
early period, his time in Paris with Picasso and Braque; he knew most of the
modern artists of the pre-world war I era -- cubist works, his historic time as
painter, printmaker, and muralist, etc. Excellent museum. We went to the also
renovated Museo Iconografico al Quixote, a focal point of the festival. The
Museum is smashing! All works on the theme of Don Quixote: painting, sculpture,
tapestries, murals, etc., many by major 20th century artists. The museum is very
modern and extremely well done. There was also the Peoples Museum, works by
native craftsmen, a Museum of the 19th century, and so on. The town was filled
with people. Very festive. There were also people dressed in Spanish Renaissance
costumes, with musical instruments, etc. Like SMA, Guanajuato was a major focal
point of the independence revolution. We had a good time. The weather was great,
although the late nights and early mornings were pretty cold at 6500 feet
altitude.
We were in Yucatan in the spring, so this is our second trip to Mex. this year.
