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

Dr. John Humphreys, associate professor of management, and Dr. Walter Einstein, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, have published an article titled“Leadership and temperament congruence: Extending the expectancy model of work motivation.” The article appears in the current issue of the Journal of Leadership and Organizational Studies, 10(4): 58-79.

No On-Campus Flu Shots This Year – ENMU Health Services will not be offering the flu shot this year due to the nation wide flu vaccine shortage. Please contact your primary care physician to see if they have it available. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Caller ID Updated on Camnpus 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.

Software Clearinghouse Offering New Titles – The New Mexico Educational Software Clearing House (NMESCH), located in the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) at ENMU, is offering for review two new educational software programs: Cross Country USA 2 and Auditory Memory for Quick Stories. If the following reviews interest you, come check out the software for yourself at the CTE.

Cross Country USA 2 is an educational software simulation game, produced by Ingenuity Works Inc., aimed at teaching basic facts about the United States, map reading and interpretation, and budgeting skills. Students participate in one or two player games as truck drivers responsible for delivering goods to places across the country given budget constraints, and limited pick-up and delivery options. All in all, Cross Country USA 2 accomplishes its educational objectives successfully, and is fun to play too. The game can be useful from K-12 grades, and would recommend it to teachers looking for a good classroom resource with these educational needs.

Auditory Memory for Quick Stories is an interactive program for improving auditory memory and comprehensive skills. The CD-ROM and Reproductive Workbook contain delightful and engaging short stories with follow-up comprehensive questions. This software accomplishes its goal of improving auditory memory and comprehension skills through drill and practice of listening and understanding skills. In a nutshell, this software is recommended for the teaching of elementary school kids auditory memory skills.

Work Orders May Be Submitted Online – Work Orders may be submitted online. If you will begin at ENMU home page/campus services / additional services / Physical Plant, you will see a link on the left that says Work Orders. If you have any questions, call 562.2511 for more information.

A first-year student at ENMU-Roswell, Katie Aves, 20, is the winner of the William C. Witter Scholarship essay competition granted by the New Mexico Association of Community Colleges. For her essay, Aves was asked to write about how a liberal arts education will influence her future chosen career. She received $500 for her winning essay. Aves transferred to ENMU-Roswell from New Mexico State University, and is now completing her core classes. She intends to pursue a career in optometry so that, in her words, she “can enable people to see a beautiful world even more clearly.” She plans to transfer to the University of Houston next fall. According to one of Aves’s instructors, Jennie Bower, who helped to nominate her for the scholarship, Aves is making a huge sacrifice for her education – driving to Roswell from her home in Carlsbad three times a week. Aves said it’s worth it. “There are more options here, more classes available. I want to succeed in life and whatever I need to do I will do it. I think it’s a great campus. The instructors really care and I’m learning a lot,” she said. Aves said she would use her scholarship money to buy books.

You might call them ENMU-Roswell’s version of the Partridge Family. Tuku (pronounced Too-Koo) is a family of musicians who will perform in a free concert in the Performing Arts Center on campus Saturday, Nov. 13 at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend. The group’s drummer, Andrew Sheafor, 21, of Wellington, Colorado, is a freshman in ENMU-Roswell’s Special Services program for students with disabilities. He is studying to be a childcare attendant and also has a strong interest in music. Andrew’s siblings, including his twin brother, and father are traveling to Roswell just for the opportunity to play together again. The group has recorded a CD, entitled “Where the Sun Lingers” for Unbroken Records. Tuku's musical vision can be traced back to strong family ties. Twin brothers, Ben and Andy Sheafor, anchor the group. Ben is Tuku's true front man, handling vocals, acoustic guitar as well as songwriting duties. Andy is the group's drummer, keeping the rhythms snappy while remaining sensitive to the rest of the music. Younger sister, Megan Sheafor adds distinctive vocal harmonies and keyboards. Bassist and close family friend, Jeremy Justus, is also part of the group as a vocalist and songwriter. The newest member of the group is father, Chris Sheafor, who has switched from bass to lead guitar, adding the finishing touches to Tuku's sound. Tuku's semi-electric acoustic rock music is full of uplifting melodies, fresh harmonies, irresistible rhythms and personally expressive lyrics. But more than that, Tuku's sound is energetic and youthful, driven by a musical vision shared by all the members of the band.

TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology (courtesy of ITS Computing)

Computing
Word series – Did you know that you can combine several word documents into a single document. To combine several relatively simple documents into a single document, repeat the following procedure until all of the individual documents have been combined. The original documents are unaffected by this procedure.
1. Start a new, blank document.
2. Choose File from the Insert menu.
3. Browse to the document you want to insert.
4. Select the document, then click Insert.
5. Usually, you will want to insert a page break after each file you insert: Choose Break from the Insert menu, select Page break, then click OK.
Some attributes of the documents you insert after the first one may be lost (e.g., margins, headers, and footers). Once you get all the documents combined, you can work on finishing up document formatting details, page numbering, etc

Outlook series – Color-code your calendar
In your Outlook Calendar, you can use colors to help you manage your appointments. For example, you can choose colors with predefined labels such as "Personal", "Needs Preparation," or "Must Attend;" or, you can create your own labels. Here's how:
To color an appointment or meeting with a predefined label:
1. Click Calendar.
2. Right-click an appointment or meeting, point to Label on the shortcut menu, and then click a color-coded label in the list. (To remove the color from the appointment or meeting, in the Label list, click None.)
To create your own colored label:
1. Click Calendar.
2. Right-click an appointment or meeting, point to Label on the shortcut menu, and then click Edit Labels.
3. Pick the color you want to rename, type in your new label name, and then click OK.

DAT file version update – To check that your computer is up-to-date with the most current versions of virusscan software, locate the blue and white shield with a red “V” in it by your system clock on the bottom right side of your screen and click on it with the right mouse button. Then choose “About VirusScan Enterprise” in the pull-down box. There are two things to look for; one is the “Virus Definitions” which should be at 4404 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 4.3.20. If either one is not displaying the above versions, please contact the Helpdesk at 562.4357 for assistance.
