Materials Needed for Weekend Activities and Games – Student Activities and Organizations is hosting a late night program called WEEKEND ACTIVITIES & GAMES (WAG). We are going to have a craft night on Sept. 4 and we are looking for any creative materials that could be used. If you have something lying around your house/office that could be used, please bring your supplies to the Student Activities and Organizations office located in 108 Campus Union. Just lay everything on our conference table. Items can be but are not limited to fabric, beads, beading wire, stickers, picture frames, scrap booking material or anything that could be used to make some cool stuff. We need all materials by Friday, Sept. 3. If you have any questions, please contact Shannon Osborne at extension 2768.

BBA/MBA Advisor to be at ENMU-R – Dr. Lee Weyant will be available for BBA and MBA advising on the ENMU-R campus during the fall 2004 semester. Advising will be held Wednesdays from 3-5 p.m. in IC205D starting Sept. 1. Appointments are available by calling 505.624.7221 or 505.562.2342.

2004 Winter Break Scheduled – The 2004 winter break has been approved by the Regents to begin at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 23 and end at 8 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 3. There have been some questions regarding this schedule and if the days approved by the Regents are in agreement with the handbooks. I hope I can clarify this issue. If the handbooks were followed exactly, the following schedule would be observed: Close Dec. 23 and 24 (for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day); Open Dec. 27, 28 and 29; Close Dec. 30 and 31 (for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day) Although the 2004 approved schedule is one work day less than last year, it is still three work days longer than what is established in the handbooks. Throughout the year, ENMU gives 12 days as paid holidays, which is two more days than federal employees receive.

I hope this alleviates any concerns you might have regarding our winter holiday leave for 2004-2005. If you wish to take more time off work, you may request vacation leave from your supervisor.

ENMU-Roswell Presents Course on Women and Politics – A new political science course offered at ENMU-Roswell this coming fall semester is titled "Women, Power and Politics." The course, PSCI 205, will involve an in-depth study of the history, policies, and political behavior of women in politics as well as the distribution of political power in Western societies, with an emphasis on the United States. Students will hear from female guest speakers who are active or formerly active in politics at local, state and Federal levels. “The notion behind this course is an objective look at how women have influenced our political world through formation of, indirect and direct participation in, and women's successes and failures within political structures,” said Bill Kuehl, Criminal Justice instructor. The 3-credit-hour course will meet on Fridays from 9-11:30 a.m. The fall semester starts Aug. 30. For registration information, call 624.7149.

Operation Heartbeat to Present Defibrillator in Chaves County – The Roswell Correctional Center, south of Roswell, will receive an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), courtesy of Operation Heartbeat of Chaves County, at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, August 16. The AED was purchased with a New Mexico Sudden Cardiac Arrest state grant. A number of county law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and businesses have previously received AED’s through Operation Heartbeat over the past couple of years. Peggy Harelson, Emergency Medical Services/Training Center coordinator at ENMU-Roswell and chairwoman of Operation Heartbeat for Chaves County, said the use of an AED in the hands of a trained layperson can mean the difference between life and death in a sudden cardiac arrest situation. She said three people die of sudden cardiac arrest every seven minutes in the United States. The defibrillator restarts the heart. The EMS program at ENMU-Roswell is providing the AED training through the American Heart Association. For more information on the AED's, Public Access Defibrillator program or any American Heart Association courses, call Harelson at 624.7249.

Clarification About Taxes on Tuition Waivers – Several employees who have a bachelor's degree have expressed a desire to sign up for a Wellness course under the tuition waiver but are turned off by the misunderstanding they have to pay taxes on the tuition waiver. Please be advised that this is no longer true due to a new admission category established over a year ago – post-baccalaureate admission. Anyone with a bachelor's degree who wants to enroll only in undergraduate courses will be admitted under post-baccalaureate admission. You will not be taxed for any tuition waiver for an undergraduate class. Also, if you are paying for an undergraduate course, you will be charged at the undergraduate, not the graduate, rate.

But please note that no one in this category can take a graduate course. If you want to take a graduate course, you have to receive graduate admission. You will be charged graduate rates for all of your courses, including undergraduate courses, and any tuition waiver will be taxable.
