ADJOURNMENT

ASAB Presents Music Madness Featuring 'Full Blown Rose' on April 13 – The Associated Students Activities Board will present "Full Blown Rose" at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13, in the Campus Union Ballroom as part of Music Madness during Spring Fling. The concert is free and open to the public.

"Full Blown Rose" performs the theme song to Fox's "Tru Calling," songs in "The Seed of Chucky" (newest of the "Chucky" series), and music on the upcoming "Elektra" soundtrack (the follow up to the film "Daredevil").

Their music video has also been played on national television, and they have performed with groups such as "Puddle of Mud," "The Offspring," "Papa Roach," "Lit," and the "Kotton Mouth Kings."

Music Madness

Music Madness is similar to a battle of the bands with a few twists to keep it exciting. It is an annual event put on by the Associated Students Activities Board (ASAB). The bands must contain at least one ENMU student and be chosen by ASAB to perform. ASAB is happy to get such a high profile band as "Full Blown rose" to host this year’s event. They will also judge the competition.

Any students that wish to perform should contact Shem Peachey or Jeff Blake at 562.2242 or bring a demo and bio to Room 104 in the Campus Union Building.

ENMU Video Airing on Amarillo TV Stations – A video promoting ENMU as part of a program called "Touring Your Future" is scheduled for the following airdates on Amarillo TV stations: (all airings are Central Time) KCIT (Fox) – April 10 at 11a.m.; April 23 at 1p.m.; KCPN (Independent) – April 3 at 2 p.m.; April 22 at 7p.m. Future airings will be added.

ENMU Telephone System Upgrade – The ENMU telephone system has been upgraded to the latest software revision available. Below are some important differences that the user may immediately notice: When calling from a digital telephone, the display will show the call is ‘deflected’ (rather than “diverted”) if the called number has a diversion profile set up on it. If a call to your extension can be rolled over to more than one phone number on busy/no answer, you will notice the words ‘profile 1’ on the display of a digital telephone, or you will hear a ‘stuttered dial tone’ on an analog telephone. This message tells you that your telephone will be able to divert to more than one point if your number is busy or does not answer. On digital telephones with a two-line display, the ‘profile 1’ message has replaced the date and time. The date and time will reappear when the handset is lifted and stay on the display until the handset is placed back on the cradle. When the new software was installed, all default settings on the telephones were restored. Anything that was programmed into a telephone from the keypad will need to be set up again. For example: On a digital telephone, if there is a second access key, the key will need to be pressed to reactivate this function. On a digital telephone, the ring tone will need to be reprogrammed if it was changed from the default ring. To do this, press the ‘program’ key, press any number 0 through 9 and press the ‘program’ key once again when you have chosen the ring you like. On a digital or analog telephone, if there was a ‘follow me’ diversion created, it will need to be reprogrammed. If you have any questions on setting up a function on your telephone, please log a call with the Helpdesk at 4357. We appreciate your patience through this transition.

Faculty Handbook Committee Sets Faculty Forum at 4 p.m. on April 4 to Discuss Change – The Faculty Handbook Committee is recommending the following change to the Faculty Handbook. The reason for the proposed change is to comply with the legal requirements of the Family and Medical Leave Act that requires the employer to notify the employees of the employer’s policy regard the law. This is the Board of Regents' policy as adopted in 1994. This policy already appears in the support and professional handbooks but is not currently in the faculty handbook. Therefore, the amendment is simply to comply with the law.

A faculty forum to discuss this recommendation will be held at 4 p.m. on Monday, April 4, in Becky Sharp Auditorium. The purpose of the forum is to provide an opportunity for faculty input before the Faculty Handbook Committee finalizes its recommendation to the Faculty Senate. Faculty who cannot attend the forum may submit written comments via e-mail to Steve Palmer, Committee Chair, (steven.palmer@enmu.edu) no later than 2 p.m. on April 4.

The proposed amendment is to insert under Medical Leave – Part Three, Section IX of the Faculty Handbook:

Family and Medical Leave of Absence Policy and Procedures

General Policy
The Family and Medical Leave act of 1993 (FMLA) became effective on August 5, 1993. The purposes of the act are to balance the demands of the work place with the needs of the families, to promote the stability and economic security of families, and to preserve the national interest in preserving family integrity. Listed below is an outline of the conditions under which an employee may request time off without pay for a limited period with job protection and no loss of accumulated service provided the employee returns to work.

Eligibility
The following employees are eligible for leave under the FMLA.

1. Regular full-time and part-time employees who have been employed at ENMU at least twelve months prior to the leave. This includes faculty, professional, and support employees as defined in the respective employee handbooks.
2. Temporary full-time and part-time employees who have been employed at ENMU at least twelve months prior to the leave, and who are employed at least half-time (1040 hours or 6 months or .50 FTE) or more.
3. Employees in the occupational groups of president, provost, vice presidents, executive directors, deans, department chairs, directors, coaches and associates or assistants to these groups may be eligible, however to prevent substantial economic injury to ENMU's operations, restoration may be denied to these "key" employees.
   Occasional employees are not eligible.

Basic Regulations and Conditions of Leave
FMLA leave is taken after all annual leave and sick leave is depleted. Eligible full-time employees who work at least 1250 hours during the year preceding the leave may take up to 12 weeks in a 12-month period (beginning with the first day of leave taken under FMLA). The 12-week leave period will include any accrued vacation and medical leave to be exhausted first. The remainder of the 12-week leave period will be reported as leave without pay (LWOP). For eligible part-time employees who work at least 1040 hours during the year preceding the leave, their leave will be pro-rated as follows: half-time employees (.50 FTE) may take up to six weeks; three-quarter time employees (.75 FTE) may take up to nine weeks, etc.

FMLA leave may be taken for the following reasons. Eligible employees may take up to 12 weeks in a 12-month period (beginning from the date of the first leave taken under FMLA) of a combination of annual leave, medical leave, and leave without pay for the following reasons:

1. An employee's own serious health condition which prevents the employee from performing the essential functions for the position within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act. FMLA leave is taken after all annual leave and medical leave is depleted.
2. Care for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition. A spouse is defined as a husband or wife as recognized by state law. A child is defined as a son or daughter including biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, legal ward, or the child of one who acted as a parent (supported, cared for, and is responsible for the child). The child must be under 18 years of age or incapable of self care because of disability. A parent includes a biological parent or someone who acted as a parent by having day to day responsibility of care and support.
   Serious health condition is defined under FMLA as:
   1. inpatient care in a hospital, hospice, or residential medical care facility; or
   2. continuing treatment by a health care provider for a serious health condition.
   If medically necessary, an intermittent schedule or a reduced leave schedule may be arranged for an employee's own serious health condition or for care of a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition. If leave is requested on this basis, the University may require the employee to transfer temporarily to an alternative position which better accommodates recurring periods of absence or a part-time schedule, provided that the position has equivalent pay and benefits.
3. For childbirth, adoption, or foster care. Leave must be taken consecutively within the first 12 months following childbirth. FMLA leave is taken after all annual leave and medical leave is depleted. If a husband and wife both work for the University, the combined total leave for birth or placement of a child is 12 weeks.

Procedures for Obtaining FMLA Leave
An employee requests a leave of absence, using a form available from Personnel Services from his/her supervisor who will route the request for the proper administrative approvals, and then forward it to Personnel Services. The Director of Personnel is responsible for the administration of this policy and will notify the employee whether the request is approved or denied.

Notification
When the need for leave is foreseeable, such as the birth or adoption of a child or planned medical treatment, the employee must provide at least 30 days advance notice of the effective date of the leave. An effort should be made to schedule the leave so as not to disrupt University operation if possible.

Medical Certification
All requests for family and medical leave of absence due to a serious health condition of the employee and/or care of a child, spouse, or parent with a serious health condition will require the employee to provide medical certification from the attending physician describing the medical condition and other pertinent information. Forms are available from Personnel Services. The employee has 15 days to provide the certification unless that is not possible with due diligence.
The University, in its discretion, may require a second medical opinion and periodic re-certification at its own expense, may require the binding opinion of a third health care provider, approved jointly by the University and the employee.
A Personnel Action Notice should be processed by the employee's supervisor placing the employee on leave for the authorized period of time and should indicate the reason for the leave.

Calculation of Intermittent or Reduced Leave
For non-exempt employees, calculation of leave is done on the basis of time actually taken. One day taken each week exhausts 1/5 of one available FMLA leave week. An employee reduced from 8-hour days to 4-hour days uses 1/2 of one available FMLA leave week for every 1/2 time week worked.

Salary reductions for exempt employees are allowed without jeopardizing the exempt status of the employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Therefore, exempt employees taking two (2) days off per week can have their weekly salary reduced to 2/5.
Status of Employee Benefits During Leave of Absence

Any employee who is granted an approved leave of absence under this policy is advised to provide for the continuation of his or her group health insurance coverage by arranging with the Payroll Office to pay the employee's premium contributions during the period of unpaid absence. The University will continue to contribute the employer's portion of the group medical insurance premiums during the family leave.

In the event that the employee elects not to return to work upon completion of an approved unpaid leave of absence or returns to work for less than 30 days, the University may recover from the employee the cost of any payments made to maintain the employee's coverage, unless the failure to return to work was for reasons beyond the employee's control. Benefit entitlements based upon length of service will be calculated as of the last paid work day prior to the start of the unpaid leave of absence.

In case of illness, employees will periodically be required to report their intent to return to work to their supervisor. If the employee gives an unequivocal notice of intent not to return, then the University's obligations to maintain the employee's benefits (except COBRA) and to restore the employee end.

Reinstatement
An employee returning from Family and Medical Leave of Absence must contact Personnel Services prior to the expiration of the leave. Medical leave granted for an employee's serious health condition will require the employee to provide a medical certification of fitness for duty from the attending physician that the employee is able to return to work. A form is available from Personnel Services for this purpose. No employee will be permitted to return to work without being cleared by Personnel Services.
Once cleared for reinstatement by Personnel Services, the employee's supervisor will process a Personnel Action Notice to place the employee back on payroll.

Record Keeping and Notice
A notice explaining the FMLA provisions will be posted throughout the main campus, the branch campus, and other ENMU off-campus locations.

The FMLA Leave of Absence Policy and Procedures will be placed in the Administrative and Governance Policies and Procedures Manual. The policy will also be referred to in the respective constituencies' handbooks.

All medical records will be kept separate and confidential from other personnel files as prescribed by state and federal laws.

Appeals
An employee may appeal a decision related to FMLA leave as outlined in the University's grievance procedure.
NOTE: This policy was written to comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. The act's governing regulations covering definitions and details will apply to this policy.

   CURRY/ROOSEVELT COUNTY CASA
   MARKS NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS MONTH BY LIGHTING CANDLES OF HOPE

   CLOVIS, NM—Every year, more than 380 children are abused and neglected in Curry and Roosevelt Counties. To raise awareness of alarming statistics like these, the Curry/Roosevelt County CASA today announced it will host a Light Of Hope Candlelight Ceremony at both the Curry and Roosevelt County Courthouse. Curry/Roosevelt CASA, a non-profit organization that trains community volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court, supports national efforts to fight child abuse throughout the month of April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month (NCPAM).
   This year’s events will help to kick off the several awareness and educational activities across the country in April to recognize National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. Curry/Roosevelt County CASA hopes to encourage community members to come together to shine their light at either event. The Roosevelt County Light of Hope ceremony will be held at noon on Thursday, April 7 at the Roosevelt County Courthouse lawn.

   The Curry County Light of Hope ceremony will be held at noon on Friday, April 8 at the Curry County Courthouse lawn.
   “Nothing touches your heart more than helping a child,” said Catharine Johnson, CASA Program Coordinator. “And helping a child who’s been abused or neglected will affect you in ways you’d never expect.” “Here in our communities, the future lies with our children, and they each deserve the possibility of being brought up in secure, loving permanent homes.”
   Curry/Roosevelt County CASA is a member of the National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association, more than 900 local community programs that recruit and train citizen volunteers to advocate for the rights of abused and neglected and abused children. “Every day, our volunteers work to bring hope into the lives of children who need hope the most. That is why we are lighting candles in parks and courthouses across the county, to remind us all that there is always hope for a child,” said Michael Piraino, CEO, National CASA Association.
   
   For more information on The Light of Hope Ceremonies in Curry and Roosevelt County, and the CASA program, or how you can be a CASA supporter or volunteer, contact Curry/Roosevelt County CASA at 505.769.3227.
   

TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology (courtesy of ITS Computing)
Computing
Word series – Paste Special
When you are in a Word document and pasting something you have copied from another document, or from a web page or other source, more often than not you want the formatting to match the destination document rather than the source. From the Edit menu, use Paste Special instead of Paste. The Paste Special window that opens gives you several options. Choose Unformatted Text to have your pasted content take on the formatting of the paragraph it is pasted into. If you have Word 2002 (in Office XP), pasting is even more flexible. In this case the choice you want is called Match Destination Formatting.

Outlook series – Have you started an email message and did not have time to finish and you need to come back to it later? To save the unfinished message to the Draft folder area, press and hold down the Ctrl key, then press the S key (Ctrl-S). This will place the message in the Draft folder where you can come back later, click on the message in the Draft folder area and continue typing your message.

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 4458 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 4.4.00 (4400). If either one is not displaying the above versions, please contact the Helpdesk at 562.4357 for assistance.
