ENMU-Roswell Presenting 'Smoke Outta My Hair' – In an effort to raise awareness about the negative effects of smoking, ENMU-Roswell will present 'Smoke Outta My Hair' on Tuesday, Nov. 18 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Student Services Center on campus. Sponsored by the Student Activity Board and the Smoking Cessation Program, the event will include a number of activities throughout the day. Most notably, those interested will receive a temporary hair coloring to symbolize the smoke that lingers in hair long after the cigarette is extinguished. The event is centered on the importance of a support group and 'friends helping friends' to quit smoking.

Students and smoking cessation staff will also provide free information on smoking cessation classes, patches and gum that are available for those who want to quit smoking. Prizes and food will be offered throughout the day as well.

The Smoking Cessation program at ENMU-Roswell is funded by the New Mexico Department of Health. The 'Smoke Outta My Hair' event is a prelude to the Great American Smokeout sponsored by the American Cancer Society on Nov. 20. Every third Thursday in November, the smokeout encourages smokers to quit cigarettes for at least one day, in the hope they will quit forever. More people quit smoking on this day than on any other day of the year.

Aviation Program Receives Valuable Donation – The Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) program at ENMU-Roswell is the recipient of a valuable donation, which will greatly enhance hands-on training. Hamilton Sundstrand, based in San Diego, Calif., recently shipped two Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) to ENMU-Roswell for use in AMT training. The company produces APUs for different types of aircraft, from business jets to jumbo jets. APUs are normally found in the tails of a medium to large aircraft. On modern aircraft, they consist of a small turbine engine, which generates power for electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or other systems when the engine driven systems are unavailable.

AMT instructor, David Partain initiated contact with the company at an aviation conference earlier this year. A few months ago, a representative of Hamilton Sundstrand asked if ENMU-Roswell was interested in receiving two serviceable APU's that were being removed due to equipment upgrades. Initially, ENMU-Roswell was to pay for the shipping, but the company paid for that as well and the APUs arrived this week.

"The APU is one of the major parts of an aircraft about which students are required to receive training," said Partain. "Prior to these arriving, we had no APUs to provide hands-on training. These will allow us to do more specialized training with our students. We are grateful to have a friend like Hamilton Sundstrand in the aviation industry."
