RE: FLUXLIST: Fluxus in school?

[Don Boyd]

Dear Owen, My own feeling about teaching Fluxus ideas in schools is mixed. I 
have taught in high schools and colleges, The students are fantastically 
appreciative, in general. At Ohio State I had perhaps 200 enthusiastic 
supporters. The chairman of the art department said,"You have a cult 
following." However that did not dissuade the other sculpture faculty from 
not re-hiring me after my one year contract was over. That happened to me at 
Kenyon after six years of devoted student interest, at South Dakota State 
after ten years and so on. Where I teach now, Mount Vernon Nazarene 
University, I am well accepted by faculty and students and administrators. 
This comes late in life at the time I really don't need to work but do so 
because I enjoy it. I only teach part time as an adjunct. My students still 
win prizes. Crispin Webb is one of them. I am proud of them! -Don
