Advance Warning
Tour to Rock ENMU Ballroom Tomorrow Night (Tuesday, April 1)
(free and open to public: no maximum
age limit)
by Shane Brown
Communication Services
On Tuesday, April 1 “The Advance Warning Tour” will rock the
Ballroom at Eastern New  Mexico
University. The doors open at 7 p.m., the show starts at 7:30 and ends
around 11:30. The free show is on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Ballroom has a capacity of 1,000.
“The Advance
Warning Tour,” sponsored by MTV2, Nokia and CMJ, features the bands
“The Mooney Suzuki,” “Longwave,” “White Light
Motorcade” and, most notably, “The Raveonettes.”
The Raveonettes have recently appe ared
on the Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien shows, as well as being featured
in Rolling Stone. The magazine said, “Extremely self-confident
Danish duo that makes serrated garage-rock candy combining the classic
twang of rockabilly with blasts of fuzz-pedal fury."
“The Advance Warning Tour coming to ENMU is a by-product of us
hosting the Lifehouse concert; the concert industry talks and now we’re
on the board as a place to perform at,” said Will Kayatin, director
of Student Activities and Organizations at ENMU. He added that talent
companies actually call because of the success of the Lifehouse concert .
The Advance Warning Tour is usually a $100,000 show, but ENMU is only
responsible for the production cost. “We handle production, space,
marketing and being a host,” Will said. "The tour actually
called us about bringing the show to Eastern.
“Activities offices usually don’t host major shows like this,
so this is a rare opportunity for students and others to see some groups
that are on the verge of making it big,” Will said.
For more information, call the ENMU Student Activities Office at 505.562.2631.

by Britt Hochhausler
Communication Services
The Departments of Music and Dance at Eastern New Mexico University
will present a performance by Saule, a Lithuanian folk music group,
on Wednesday, April 2 at 7 p.m. in the University Theatre Center.
Saule (“sun” in Lithuanian) has given concerts in many countries
across the world, including Sweden, England, Russia, and Malta. They
have also toured through the Midwest and all the way from Pittsburgh
to Denver.
“ENMU was chosen because the group had a cancellation in Texas
and was then going to perform in Santa Fe,” said Joyce Stagg, music
department secretary.
The critically-acclaimed Saule was formed in 1972 in Siauliai, the largest
town in northern Lithuania. The group consists of 20 singers, dancers,
and musicians. They have won many awards in a variety of international
competitions of both popular and uncommon Lithuanian music.
The performance is free and open to the public.
For more information, call Joyce at 505.562.2377.

At the store's grand opening on March 19, Division of Health Chair Jane
Batson accepted a $1,000 check on behalf of the dental program.
Wal-Mart associates voted to support the dental program through the

Batson said the funds will be passed through the Roswell Rotary Club
and used to purchase tooth brushes and toothpaste.

by Linda Whitehead
ENMU-Roswell
During the National Association of College and University Food Service
(NACUFS) Region VII conference, held March 4 through 7 at the University
of Oklahoma, Jim Baird, manager of ENMU-Roswell Food Services, was elected
the Region VII Publications Officer. The Publications Officer is responsible
for the Region's newsletter as well as disseminating miscellaneous information
that must be distributed to the region's membership.
At the recent regional conference there was considerable discussion
about each region publishing on the Web rather than publishing hard-copy.
This matter will be resolved by the time Jim attends a Regional Publication
Officers' training session at the University of California - Davis,
from June 18-21.
At the session Jim will learn how to incorporate and format information
into a Web-based regional newsletter. He will also represent ENMU-R
in his capacity as Publications Officer at the national NACUFS conference
in July.

ENMU-Roswell Presenting Free Acoustic Guitar
Concert on April 11
by Donna Gutierrez
ENMU-Roswell
On Friday, April 11 , Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell will
present solo acoustic guitarist and songwriter, Jerrod Daniel in concert
in the Performing Arts Center on campus. Two free performances are scheduled
at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. 
Those who attend can enjoy a variety of music from Daniel's new album,
"What You Could Have Had," released on Love Conquers All Records.
Daniel has performed across the country, and enjoys playing in coffee
houses and more intimate venues, like the Performing Arts Center.
Daniel will perform a variety of original songs with jazz, rock, and
folk influences. He said his musical style is varied. "I guess
it's usually based around me and my guitar, so I'd like to say folk,
but sometimes when I get in the studio, or get an unction, it becomes
a lot more than that. I don't know, Neo Post Pop Folk Rock Bluesy Country
Jazz?" Daniel said some of the musicians he admires include Elvis,
Cat Stevens, U2, Jim Croce, Lionel Richie, Sheryl Crow, James Taylor,
and America.
Daniel says his album, "What You Could Have Had," is about
the choices and decisions people make in their lives. "You know,
it's about taking the high road or taking the low road. Sometimes people
settle, instead of going for their dreams. Sometimes they go for their
dreams, and take for granted the other things – really what they
could have had – they don't see the big picture."
Following his concert in Roswell, Daniel will travel to Flagstaff, Ariz.,
to perform at Northern Arizona University. For more information, contact
Lisa White Buchanan at 624.7379.

Having to Deal with Unacceptable Employee
Behavior? Help is on the Way!
The Staff Development Task Force is sponsoring a SkillPath workshop
on "Dealing Effectively with Unacceptable Employee Behavior"
on from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22.
 The
workshop will deal with such types as the "Antagonist," "Blameless
Bob," "Whiner," "Thumb-Twiddler," "Tortoise,"
"Mr. Attitude" (such as Monday Memo editor), "Hand-Holder,"
Early Retiree," "Worrywart" and "Clock-Watcher."
The workshop will give supervisors tips on how to get productivity,
cooperation and results from non-Spirit-of-Eastern types without incurring
resentment or damaging relationships.
Participants will learn such techniques as how to recognize the 15 warning
signs that a problem is brewing, how to act – not react –
in a negative situation, offering constructive feedback, choosing the
right intervention technique, setting measurable performance standards,
how to determine when to terminate an employee and how to conduct such
a meeting, and how to be protected from wrongful termination lawsuits.
While the University has offered several workshops on how to document
unacceptable employee behavior, this workshop is the first designed
to assist supervisors in dealing effectively with such employees. These
performance management methods will result in higher morale, fewer discipline
problems and increased productivity.
There is a charge of $50
per participant (charged to ENMU departmental budgets) to help cover
the charges. The regular fee is $149.
Please call Candy at ext. 4490 to reserve your spot and give her your
budget number. This is on a first-come, first-serve basis with a maximum
of 40 participants.
