ENMU's Scene 3 News Gets New Name and Face
new director is Yankee (fan) from New York City

enmu photo

Eastern New Mexico University’s Broadcast Center has changed the name of Scene 3 News to News 3 New Mexico. The daily 30-minute newscast is also under the direction of new faculty member John Kirby, instructor of communication – fresh off the boat (or car) from New York City.

News 3 New Mexico will serve the eastern part of New Mexico with local and statewide news. It will be a unique but professional news broadcast brought to the viewers by students, according to John. News 3 New Mexico will provide more local news, weather and sports information than ever before.

There will be one anchor, Abby Dunn, an ENMU junior, compared to the past when there were different anchor teams four nights a week. Students will perform more local reports and get a better understanding of reporting before becoming anchors, noted John – who has joined Eastern's noon-time hoopsters and reports that he is amazed at how cleanly the games are played compared to big-city YMCA contests where "there is at least one fight every day." (The point guard is currently on non-game-related injured reserve after hurting his back attempting to personally move a bookcase – apparently filled with copies of War and Peace – instead of using workstudy students.)

The name changed because, according to John, “When you make a lot of changes, the best place to start is with the name.”

In New York City, John was an executive with Time-Warner and IBS International, a business television network. He also taught at two small colleges in the area. He used to be a political reporter and anchor for KSAT-TV in San Antonio, Texas, and with the Christian Science Monitor's "Monitor News Channel" in Boston. He also spent some time on-the-air, and in management, with the South African Broadcasting Company's New York City bureau.

John, who has a two-year-old daughter, Claire, with his wife, Margaret, said it was a pleasant change from New York to Portales.

" I enjoy the weather, Mexican food, the students, the nice people of Portales, and the pretty campus,” said John. "The only culture shock has been how friendly everyone is."

'Math Plus' Peer Coaches Help Fellow Students with the Science of Numerals

Story and photos by Britt Hochhausler
Communication Services


At Eastern New Mexico University, students are learning a lesson about education, from their student peers.

 
enmu photo

Two years ago, ENMU received a Title V grant, which created the Math Plus program and the Learning Communities. The Peer Coach program was formed under Math Plus.

Fourteen math-inclined students are assigned as mentors to the students in the Math 101 and Math 107 classes to "coach" the students that may not be as inclined to math. There were originally six peer coaches, but that number has expanded to 14.

The coaches use innovative and tangible ways to demonstrate math problems, including the use of geo boards and sidewalk chalk.

"The students feel that they can get help and they aren't abandoned," said VK Bussen, Title V Math Plus coordinator.

All 200 students in the Math 101 classes are involved in the program. This year, for the first time, the Peer Coaches are solely in charge of the Wednesday Math 101 classes. [more]

"Fragmented Image" at ENMU’s Runnels Gallery through September 30 Marks Hispanic Heritage Month
by Dr. Haig David-West
Chair of ENMU Art Department

An exhibition titled "Fragmented Image" by Gloria Rodriguez Calero will run through Sept. 30 in the Runnels Gallery in the Golden Library at Eastern New Mexico University.

enmu photo

The featured artist, Gloria Rodriguez Calero, was born in Puerto Rico, raised in New York, and for the past 15 years has worked and resided in New Jersey.

Educated at the School of Fine Arts in Puerto Rico and the Art Students League in New York City, Ms. Calero has developed a painting style she calls Acrollage. She defines the style as a combination of disparate mediums that are evolved into another dimension of quality and visual sensibility – such as Enamorados, pictured to the left.

Ms. Calero is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious McDowell Scholarship which enabled her to travel and study in France and Spain, and fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She has also received residencies from the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. She has exhibited in important galleries and museums across the United States and the Caribbean. Her work is in many notable private and public collections.

Ms. Calero will present a public lecture on her work at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24 in Room 112 of the Jack Williamson Liberal Arts Building. This will be preceded by a gallery reception in her honor at 5 p.m. Everyone is invited to the exhibition, reception, and lecture.

These events are jointly sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Department of Art at Eastern New Mexico University to mark Hispanic Heritage Month.

Runnels Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and by appointment on Saturday and Sunday. For additional information, contact Dr. Haig David-West, professor and chair of the ENMU Department of Art, at 505.562.2778.

The Laramie Project Being Presented in Studio Theatre from Sept. 25-27

"Hate crime" is a phrase that stirs up strong feelings among most people. The Department of Theatre and Dance at Eastern New Mexico University will present a play on Sept. 25-27 at 8 p.m. in the Studio Theatre that deals with one of the most
 
enmu photo

famous hate crimes in recent years.

Matthew Shepherd was a resident of Laramie, Wyo., who was brutally beaten by two men in October 1998. He never regained consciousness and died five days later. The case spotlighted hate crimes about homosexuals.

The Laramie Project was written by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theatre Project after they went to Laramie to interview residents about the Matthew Shepherd case.

The play serves as a senior recital for Laura Fernandez, a graduate from Del Norte High School. It is an ensemble cast with nine actors. Laura plays a total of 14 roles in the play. It is directed by Ms. Janeice Scarbrough, associate professor of theatre.

"Students should see this play because it is based on a real event that focused worldwide attention on the subject of hate crimes," Ms. Scarbrough said.

Tickets are $3 and are available at the door after 7 p.m. on the nights of the performances. For more information, contact Ms. Scarbrough at 505.562.2092.

Greyhound Sculpture Readied for Homecoming
by Dr. Patrice Caldwell
Executive Director of Planning and Analysis/Institutional Renewal


The newest artwork on ENMU's campus has traveled all the way from Xi'an, the People's Republic of China. The 800-pound bronze greyhound is a gift of Mr. Huo Baozhu, the president of Shanxi Five Rings Sculptural Art Company.
 
enmu photo


Huo met several members of the ENMU administration when they were traveling in China to explore exchange opportunities with Chinese universities, and Vice President K. Paul Jones visited Huo's bronze foundry in Xi'an last fall.

Huo's company is known internationally for its bronze sculptures. The company has created several large pieces for clients in the United States. However, Eastern's greyhound presented Huo with a special challenge. He needed a model of a greyhound, since the animals are rarely seen in China. Dr. David Gerig, Dean of the College of Fine Arts, was very helpful in providing dimensions and digital pictures of New Mexico greyhounds for the Chinese artisans. The foundry workers crafted the greyhound without ever seeing a real animal.

The greyhound traveled to the United States by air freight and then was trucked from Los Angeles, Calif., to Albuquerque, where ENMU employees claimed the shipment. Rod McDermid Masonry constructed the greyhound's pedestal. Artist and ENMU alumni Ken Leap oversaw the installation project.

The greyhound sculpture and its donor will be recognized at Homecoming, Friday, Oct. 10. A bronze plaque will be unveiled at that time, recognizing Huo's gift. The plaque also includes the sentence, in Chinese characters, stating that the sculpture represents "Friendship between the peoples of China and the United States."

Huo hopes to be in attendance for the event.

Fall Semester Enrollment Up at all Three ENMU Campuses
The 2003 fall semester enrollment for Eastern New Mexico University in Portales totals 3,725, an increase of 2.4 percent over the 2002 fall enrollment of 3,638. This is the largest enrollment at the University since fall, 1994. An analysis of the statistics shows the following:
· The first time freshman class numbers 543, compared to 518 last fall. The fall 2003 freshman class is the second largest in the past 10 years.
· The ACT scores of the freshman class are improved. For the fall 2003 class, 232 freshmen scored an ACT composite score of 20 or greater, compared to 181 freshmen in last year's class.
· The full-time equivalency (FTE) for the 2003 fall semester is 2,955, compared to 2,968 for the 2002 fall semester. This is a decrease of approximately one half of one percent.
· The University enrollment includes approximately 100 new or continuing students enrolled in a new personal wellness (fitness) course, most of whom are ENMU faculty and staff.

Dr. Steve Gamble, ENMU president, commented that he is happy with the increase in headcount at ENMU: "In May 2003, we graduated 85 more students than in May 2002. We are pleased that we were able to make up the 85 and increase by an additional 87 students. We are especially happy with the number and quality of the new freshmen."

ENMU-Roswell also reported “an excellent growth in enrollment,” according to Dr. Gamble. ENMU-Roswell has a headcount of 3,214 for this fall compared to 2,943 in the fall of 2002.

The ENMU Ruidoso Instruction Center also grew from 715 last fall to 731 this fall, according to Dr. Gamble.

The Department of Music at Eastern New Mexico University will present a concert by Juan Francisco Ortiz on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. in Buchanan Hall of the Music Building.

Ortiz is a French-born classical guitarist who is both a concert artist and composer. He was recommended to Dr. John Olsen, chair of the Department of Music, by the music faculty at Texas Tech University.

Ortiz has performed around the world, including in Spain, Mexico, Honduras, and Turkey. He began playing guitar when he was 14. His Andalusian and French heritage inspired him to play flamenco, and was also influenced by Andres Segovia, widely known as the "father of the modern classical guitar."

Ortiz received the Higher National Academy of Music of Paris award in 1972 and founded the guitar program at the National Academy of Music of Pau. This year, he was awarded the "21st Century Award of Achievement" from Cambridge.

The concert is free and open to the public.

ENMU-Roswell UFO Instructor At It Again: Publishes New Articles
by Donna Gutierrez
ENMU-Roswell


Two articles written by Dr. Donald R. Burleson, Developmental Lab instructor at ENMU-Roswell, are receiving national attention. An article titled "Levelland, Texas 1957: Case Reopened" was published in the International UFO Reporter, the journal of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS, based in Chicago). This article describes new information on the alleged Levelland UFO landings of 1957, incorporating research done by Burleson and his wife, Mollie, to reopen a case long thought to be closed.

Another new article titled "The Effects of Observer Motion on UFO Apparent Motion" has been accepted for publication in the MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Journal, in which his work has appeared many times. Burleson serves as New Mexico State Director for MUFON and conducts research and investigative work for both MUFON and CUFOS.

On Wednesday, Oct. 15, from 6-8 p.m., Burleson will be the guest on a two-hour live Internet-radio show called "Wakeup USA," under the auspices of the Hickman Report (see http://thehickmanreport.com). The primary topic will be Burleson's recent book, UFOs and the Murder of Marilyn Monroe. Other UFO-related topics may be discussed as well.

ENMU Professor to Take Students on 'Fishing' Expedition to Ute Lake

Dr. Marvin Lutnesky, chair of the Department of Biology and associate professor at Eastern New Mexico University, will take his Ichthyology (IK-

 
enmu photo

THEE-OLOGY) class to Ute Lake near Tucumcari on Friday, Sept. 26. Ichthyology is the study of fishes.

The group will be there for two days and camp in tents. “This field trip will teach students different techniques for capturing and preserving fishes for museum purposes,” Dr. Lutnesky said.

The professor chose Ute Lake because of its reasonable distance, "seine-able" (use of nets) beaches enmu photoand because the lake will accommodate boats.

Dr. Lutnesky makes this field trip once every two years, since the course is offered only every fourth semester. “This particular field trip does not require any special training...students get the needed training on the trip” Dr. Lutnesky added. The field trip will include 12 students from the class.

Dr. Lutnesky also sponsors other types of field trips to other locations in conjunction with the New Mexico Department of Game & Fish.

One field trip in conjunction with Game & Fish involves capture by electro-shocking fishes. This technique causes muscle contraction of the fish, and students need special safety training to participate. (Editor's Note: No word on whether the electro-shocking also helps the fish with mental and emotional problems.)

For Now, Communication Services Photographer Content to See What Develops

Richard Salas – reputed to have photographic memory.
(photo by Wendel Sloan)

Sometimes, a university can provide more than an education. For many students, such as Richard Salas, it can get them their first job.

Richard, a Hobbs native, chose Eastern because it was close, but not too close, to home. He also chose it because of his knowledge of Eastern's successful alumni.

“Many of my high school teachers had their teaching degrees from here, so I figured it has to be a great school.”

Richard received his associate’s degree at New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs in May 2002. He came to Eastern for a campus visit that summer, when fate stepped in.

“My mom and I had a meeting with Ms. Ronnie Birdsong (vice president for University Relations and Enrollment Services). One of us brought up my interest in photography, so I showed my portfolio – which I had conveniently remembered to bring – to Ms. Birdsong.”

One thing led to another, and – after his campus visit – Richard found himself with a photographer's position in Communication Services.

Richard also credits four professors or staff members with his success: Dr. Michael Donaghe, associate professor of English; Dr. Nina Bjornsson, assistant professor of English; Dr. Vitelio Contreras, assistant professor of modern languages; and Eastern's Webmaster, Ms. Jennifer Poyer.

Richard says that one of the best things about his job is getting into events for free – whether he actually has film in his camera or not. Here, he and Wanda Newberry show their wild side at the Pat Green concert.

“Dr. Donaghe, Dr. Bjornsson, and Dr. Contreras have all helped me and have encouraged me to keep going. Jennifer always supports me and helps me out when I have a problem.”

Richard also credits the personal touch of the staff members and professors with his accomplishments.

“What sets Eastern apart from the rest of the universities, to me, is the fact that the professors get to know you and talk to you one on one. They give the students a warm welcome when they step on campus.

"Eastern will always play a role in my future because it is where I met many of my good friends and worked my first ‘real’ job.”

Student Success:
That's What It's All About!



 

 

 

Ode to The Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ask me what I want for my last supper
I will reply, "Just a simple grilled cheese sandwich. Please"
Oh grilled cheese sandwich
Golden brown
Creamy cheesy texture over flowing at the edges
Crispy crunch bread
Butter glistening all over the lushes' wheat bread
My eye's light up with delight
At the sight of my Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Butter sizziling. Sizziling Butter
Two slices of bread on a HOT griddle
Placed atop the sizzling buttered wheat bread
Creamy cheese placed between the bread
The smell. Oh the smell. The smell
Intoxicating is the smell of my Grilled Cheese Sandwich
The inviting sound
A hot sizzling griddle drawing me closer and closer
Making my mouth salivate the closer I get to the sound
Crackle, spit, sizzle of the butter as it touches the soft wheat bread
The sound now brings me running to the grill
Anticipation has now become painful
My ears are ringing for the sound to stop!
I see it. I smell it. I hear it.
My belly is screaming
Feed me!
Now Now
Feed me!
First bite to the last morsel of the crusty crust
All my senses have experienced Grill Cheese Sandwich ecstasy
May I have another grill Cheese Sandwich? Please!
Ode to Grilled Cheese Sandwich
