Office will conduct four workshops to explain the new process and assist
departments in making any necessary budget adjustments. Those who plan
and approve budgets, as well as those who manage or monitor budgets,
should plan to attend one of the four sessions. Workshops will be held
in the Sandia Room of the Campus Union Building on:

University Police
Cell Phone for Routine Calls – The University Police
(UP) carry a cell phone on duty between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 a.m.
and all day Saturday and Sunday. This phone was basically set up so
that students and, in some cases, faculty and staff could contact UP
on a non-emergency basis. There are times when a staff member needs
a room or building unlocked that failed to make it on the list that
UP receives from Planning and Analysis. However, these calls should
be for minor situations. For anything of a serious nature, callers must
go through the Portales Police Department. The Portales dispatcher,
when they dispatch these important calls to UP, are monitored by the
City, County and State Police Officers. They, in turn, respond to assist
UP officers regarding any situation that occurs. At the present time,
UP are receiving calls regarding what time McDonalds and other eating
establishments close, etc. These calls can become time consuming and
interfere with what this system was initially set up to do. The message
that UP would like to communicate to everyone is to contact the University
Police Officer directly by calling cell phone number 760.2945 anytime
from 5 p.m. through 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and all day Saturday
and Sunday for routine help. All other calls should go through the Portales
Police Department at 356.4404 ext. 0; this will contact the caller with
the Portales Police dispatcher.

or by clicking on "course rotation" on the "courses and
catalogs" web page.
Webpage Directory Access –
With the inauguration of the new website, units will now have control
over the content, maintenance, and development of certain levels of
their website. ENMU faculty or staff may request directory access for
the unit that they are charged with updating. Send emailed requests
to Webmaster@enmu.edu
with the words "Directory Access Request" in the subject line.
When these requests are received, the Webmaster will contact the area
executive administrator, who must approve all requests for directory
access. Once approval is given, directory access will be set up and
the staff member will receive an email confirmation, with a directory
password. At that point, pages in that directory can be changed or added,
so long as the changes comply with the web policies. Informational workshops
will be offered about how to use webpage templates and comply with web
policies. If there are any questions about this process, please contact
mailto:Webmaster@enmu.edu
or call the Office of Communication Services at 562.2154.

General Comments
"I don't know why some people still complain about the Monday Memo
being on-line. It is much more entertaining; it's kind of like comparing
a 13-inch black-and-white TV that gets three grainy channels to a 56-inch
big-screen model hooked to a satellite dish." – W.J. Sloan
