ENMU Hosting Nationally-Known Date-Rape
Survivor Tonight
by Britt Hochhausler
Communication Services
Eastern New Mexico University will present a program about date rape
and how to survive it tonight (Monday, Feb. 3) at 8 p.m. in the Campus
Union Ballroom.
The program is free and open to the public.
Katie Koestner, a renowned sexual assault educator and date-rape survivor
who has appeared on the cover of Time magazine, will bring her
experience to ENMU in an educational program.
While attending the College of William and Mary in Virginia, Koestner
was a victim of sexual assault by a fellow student. She went public
with her survival story by speaking to hundreds of thousands of students
in high schools, colleges and military schools across North America.
She has also appeared on numerous television shows, including “Larry
King Live,” “Oprah Winfrey,” “NBC Nightly News”
and “Good Morning America.”
The program is titled “No-Yes.” According to the Campus Outreach
Services website, the program “provides students with information
about successful sexual communication, responsibility in the use of
drugs and alcohol, and respect for self and for peers.” [more]

Project ROAR for Victims of Violence, Harassment
by Britt Hochhausler
Communication Services
After three months in the planning stage, Project ROAR (Response, Outreach,
Advocacy, Resources) is ready to take off.
Several programs at Eastern New Mexico University are
working together to provide a system to help victims of harassment,
sexual assault, and relationship violence.
Project ROAR is a four-tiered collaboration of the ENMU counseling services,
student health center, residence hall staff, Office of Student Affairs,
University Police and the district attorney's Victim Advocate program
to give information to students about prevention and awareness.
Last October, Dr. Gary Musgrave, vice president for Student Affairs
at ENMU, put together an informal committee to address potential student
concerns about safety issues. [more]
ENMU Presenting 'Arsenic and
Old Lace' in University Theatre on February 13-15
by Britt Hochhausler
Communication Services
The Department of Theatre and Dance at Eastern New Mexico University
is presenting the perfect play for Valentine’s Day. “Arsenic
and Old Lace” combines elements of a murder/mystery with a romantic
comedy with traditional family values.
Performances are Feb. 13-15 in the University Theatre Center Mainstage
at 8 p.m. Tickets are $4 for students, $5 for ages 12 and under, $6
for senior citizens and $7 for general admission.
“Arsenic and Old Lace” is a “madcap comedy” written
by Joseph Kesselring and directed by Daryl Phillipy, assistant professor
of theatre. The play opened on Broadway in 1941 and has become extremely
popular in performances around the world.
“We chose it for this season because it is lighter fare and reminded
people of days ago,” Phillipy said. “People remember the 1944
classic film version with Cary Grant.”
Mortimer Brewster, a play critic who returns home with his fiancé,
is played by ENMU student Ryan Cook. His two older aunts, Abby and Martha
Brewster, are played by ENMU students Ruth Browne and Melanie Maez.
The play also fulfills the senior recital for Tara Miller, the set designer.
Advanced tickets are available through the theatre box office on Feb.
5 from 12 a.m. to 6 p.m. For tickets, call 562.2714.

Quote of the Week
"Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate
the training and guidance you provided me when I was student at Eastern.
I was recently selected vice president for Student Services at Albuquerque
TVI. It was a national search that lasted six months. The last portion
was two open forums followed by an interview with the president. One
of the open forums was also videostreamed through our website. As I
prepared for the forums and subsequently went through them, I could
not help but reflect on the excellent teaching you provided 27 years
ago. All of what you showed me back then helped tremendously. Hope you
are having a good year. Take Care and Thanks Again! – Phillip
Bustos, AVP for Student Services, Albuquerque, TVI (in a note to Dr.
Tony Schroeder)
