Check Out New Chess Club – Dr. Daniel Pilon, associate professor of health and physical Education, was looking to stimulate the many chess playing minds of Eastern New Mexico University. “I play, as well as enjoy the game,” says Pilon. “At first I didn’t think there was enough interest to start a club here at Eastern.” Once Dr. Pilon began talking to some people about the idea of starting a chess club, it sparked interest around campus. “Once I started speaking to a few people around campus, many players of varying abilities said that they were interested in coming and playing a game,” says Pilon.

At the group's first meeting on Nov. 10, six people showed up at Ground Zero. “I was pleased to see the turn-out at our first meeting and hope that with word of mouth more
players of all abilities will show up,” says Dr. Pilon. “We are looking for anyone who just wants to give it a shot and learn how to play with people who are novice up to a master.” Pilon says, “People are afraid to play chess because of the fear of looking bad or just losing badly,” says Dr. Pilon. For more information, call Pilon at 562.2915.

ENMU Receives NCATE Accreditation – I am pleased to report that the Unit Accreditation Board of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) has approved the recommendation of the Board of Examiners for continued accreditation of ENMU's teacher education initial preparation and advanced preparation levels. This continuing accreditation was with one condition. Eastern will be required to host a visit no later than fall 2006, focused solely on Standard 2 (Assessment System and Unit Evaluation). I want to thank everyone involved (particularly Dr. Isham and his steering committee) for their role in this successful request for continued accreditation. The final report contained several statements of praise for the quality of our teacher education faculty and staff and the learning opportunities we provide our students. I am confident we will be able to demonstrate by fall 2006 that we have in place a comprehensive and integrated set of evaluation measures that document the efficacy of our programs and the measures used to monitor candidate performance. Congratulations to all involved. – Steven G. Gamble, President

Caller ID Updated on Campus Phones – AT&T has completed the installation of the new long distance ISDN circuits that allows Caller ID to be sent with our campus outbound long distance and international calls. A few months ago, Qwest installed local ISDN circuits that allow our PBX to accept Caller ID on local and long distance calls, but only local outbound calls were able to send Caller ID. Now all calls will send and receive caller ID. The campus community needs to be aware that our current system supports Caller ID only on incoming calls to the campus digital phones. The good news is that all outgoing calls from the campus now carry Caller ID. This includes calls from digital, analog, fax or modem lines.

Student News

Eastern New Mexico University's ASAB (Associated Students' Activities Board) has been selected for inclusion in an upcoming issue of Campus Activities. "I was reading a copy of Campus Activities, a magazine that comes out from the national organization that ASAB belongs to, during the summer when I came across student organizations like Eastern's ASAB being featured for what they had done," says Dr. Will Kayatin, director of Student Activities and Organizations.

The feature, due to be published in the next two months, will showcase profiles of ASAB's programming board. "We wanted to show the readers of Campus Activities how students at ENMU get involved in activities around campus," says Ashley Swanson, Student Managing Director for Membership. "Getting the exposure in the magazine can also help in the recruiting efforts here at the University."

Dr. Kayatin says that one of the reasons that ASAB has been successful is that they are all student-driven programs. "The students who are involved in ASAB work alongside me to help bring the ideas from the table to reality," says Dr. Kayatin. "Students help me with such things as negotiating the acts contracts, reserving the acts, and hosting them while they are here on campus.

For more information about ASAB, call 562.2242.

The Student Insurance cards for Fall 2004 have arrived. If you do not work on campus you will need to come by the Student Affairs Office in the SAS Building Room 194 to pick up your card.
