Golf Passes to Ruidoso Courses Added as Prizes for ENMU Golf Tournament

Four complimentary passes each to play golf at three Ruidoso courses will go to the winning teams in the Leadership ENMU Scholarship Golf Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Clovis Municipal Golf Course. Lots of other prizes will also be awarded.

The courses are the Inn of the Mountain Gods, The Links at Sierra Blanca and the Kokopelli Golf Course (descriptions are below).

Funds raised will provide four scholarships: one each for high school graduating seniors from Curry and Roosevelt Counties, and one each for current ENMU students from Curry and Roosevelt Counties.

Tee times will be at 8 a.m. or 1 p.m. on a first-served basis. The format will be a four-person scramble, which means each player gets to take a shot from their team's previous best shot. However, teams must hit from at least two of each player's drives during the 18 holes.

Prizes will be awarded for closest to the pin, longest drive, and accuracy drive. Tickets for mulligans (a chance to take a shot over) will be available. There will also be a putting game throughout the day.

Lunches and gift bags will be provided.

The $200 entry fee per team includes a golf cart. There are slots for 36 teams.

To enter, call the Clovis Municipal Golf Course at 505.769.7871.

Special recognition will be given to businesses or individuals that want to be sponsors or provide donations.

For more information, call Ty Walker at 562.2211 or Wendel Sloan at 562.2253, or e-mail ty.walker@enmu.edu or wendel.sloan@enmu.edu.

Golf Course Descriptions

Inn of the Mountain Gods – is a breathtaking mountain course in a spectacular setting. Designed by Ted Robinson, this championship course boasts an island fairway. Backed by majestic Sierra Blanca, it has been ranked number one in the state on many occasions and has been listed in the top 25 golf courses in the United States. Don't be surprised if you have to wait for the deer or elk to cross the fairways before you hit your next shot. This unique design will continually challenge your imagination. The fast bent greens will get you talking to yourself as you attempt to read the lie. Keep in mind that the primary slope is away from that majestic mountain. With unlimited water, this course is always in excellent condition. The cross cut fairways leading off into the ponderosa pine-covered hills is truly breathtaking. Certainly a must play when you visit the area. This facility is the most challenging of the mountain courses with fast-breaking greens. It plays long and hard from the forward tees and challenges all aspects of your game.
Public Resort 18 holes, 6,834 yards, rating 70.2, slope 128 505.464.7444 or 505.464.7945.

The Links at Sierra Blanca – was designed by Senior Tour player Jim Colbert and is in the Scottish links style. This course is the premier public course in southern New Mexico and was nominated to the Golf Digest list of best new public courses in 1991. It was rated 7th best course in New Mexico and was awarded 3 1/2 stars by Golf Digest in 1995. Its rolling fairways flanked by thick mounds rewards accurate tee shots and allows you to hit your approach shots to large undulating greens. A diverse layout of holes makes for an interesting round as the risk-reward features can tempt the gambling nature in all of us. A well managed round can have you walk the course with lighter feet. This public course is one our most popular so make sure you call ahead. Most of the Sun Country Amateur Tournaments make The Links their home for this area. Women will have a distinct advantage off the tee boxes. Contact the pro shop for details for any league play.
Public, 18 holes, 6,757 yards, slope 105, rating 63.0 off forward tees. 505.258.5330.

Kokopelli Golf Course – New in 1999, Kokopelli is an 18 hole executive golf course located opposite Alto Lakes Country Club.
Private Club, 18 holes 505.336.7843.

Employee Briefs

Kathleen Tayler has joined the reading faculty and will no longer serve as coordinator of Teacher Education. The new coordinator should begin by Aug.11.

Message from ITS Regarding Use of Cell Phones in Emergencies – Recently, there have been several articles appearing in local newspapers and radio spots regarding emergency contact information stored on cellular phones. Last year a British paramedic came up with the idea, and because of the recent London bombings, the idea has swept through the country by e-mail. The idea already has the support of New Mexico law enforcement agencies.

In order to help emergency personnel locate next-of-kin and other emergency contacts for incapacitated victims of emergency situations, it is recommended that every mobile phone user place emergency contact information in their cellular phone’s phonebook under the heading “ICE”. Emergency personnel can quickly find names and numbers under that heading to make essential contacts and also to obtain information regarding medications the victim might be using. “ICE” stands for “In Case of Emergency” and emergency medical personnel will look for that entry as a new public awareness campaign is launched this month in this area.

Jan Elliott, executive director of Eastern New Mexico Emergency Medical Services, is encouraging residents of Portales and surrounding areas to “ICE” their cell phones. Many times, other forms of identification are carried by victims but do not provide the necessary information to contact relatives or other interested parties, resulting in delays of notification and needed services.
Consent is required for certain types of medical treatment and/or transportation of injured parties and the ICE program could speed up the process of obtaining that consent and possibly save a life.

According to officials at the State Attorney General’s office, there are no specific legal issues dealing with “ICE-ing” a mobile phone. By entering the ICE information into the phone, you are giving consent to emergency personnel to access it and obtain phone numbers of emergency contacts.

If you have questions regarding “ICE-ing” your phone, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287. – submitted by Linda Hamrick

Are You on a Committee? – "We always carry out by committee anything in which any one of us alone would be too reasonable to persist." - Frank Moore Colby, 1865-1925, American editor and essayist

At the governance web site you can view the most up-to-date list of 2005-2006 university standing committee members alphabetized by last name or sorted by committee: http://www.enmu.edu/aboutenmu/administration/governance/committees-councils/rosters/index.shtml

These lists will be updated as additional members are elected/appointed. Please contact Lisa Gregory x2315 or Lisa.Gregory@enmu.edu with any questions.

Number Changed for Employees to Make Long Distance Calls While Traveling – For the past three years, Eastern New Mexico University employees traveling outside of the local calling area could dial an 800 number and use their long distance authorization code and a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) to make long distance calls. These calls would be billed to their department. On June 26 a new toll-free number will be activated for this purpose, eliminating the need to enter the PIN. After this date, the previous toll-free number will no longer be used. This toll-free service should only be used outside our local calling area.
To use the new toll-free access:

Dial 1.866.788.7016 and you will hear dial tone.

Dial * 6 * + authorization code + # (sign) + 6 + area code and phone number.
(This is the same dialing sequence that is used when you are on campus)

Charges for these calls will appear on your department bill.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287 or Rick Bresler at extension 2265.

General Comments and Compliments

Roswell News

Read August Issue of ENMU-Roswell's Newsletter, The Grapevine – [read]

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO)/Turning Point/Roswell Dental Project is one of a select group of organizations featured in the Kellogg Foundation’s newly published coffee table book, From Vision to Innovative Impact: 75 Years of Philanthropy. Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell just received a copy of the 336-page oversized publication which includes stories and 600 photos from more than 75 projects in communities around the world. The book illustrates how the foundation’s work has grown and evolved since it was established by breakfast cereal pioneer, W.K. Kellogg. Through the generosity of the foundation, projects have been established in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Southern Africa.

The chapter on Roswell is called “A close (dental) encounter in Roswell.” Foundation officials chose to profile the Roswell Dental Project because the work exemplifies the values and mission of the Kellogg Foundation. “When we started planning the book several years ago, we had one primary goal,” said Dr. William C. Richardson, president and CEO of the foundation, based in Battle Creek, Michigan. “We wanted our grantees to get most of the attention and acclaim. And this book does that. It’s our way of honoring the many good people who work quietly for change in the face of daunting and even dire circumstances. We selected these grantees for inclusion in the book because of the differences they have made in the lives of people,” said Richardson.

The Kellogg Foundation has also produced a DVD and a website to showcase the work of grantees. Images and stories gathered during the staff’s visit to Roswell in April of 2003 are included in these materials. A number of interviews with local dentists, businessmen, and city, and county leaders are also featured. To see an online version of the overall package, visit the Kellogg Foundation website at www.wkkf.org/75th.

The ENMU-Roswell Community Band will soon take ownership of several donated instruments. On behalf of the Cheney family and the estate of Carl Jorgenson, Len Cheney will donate four refurbished saxophones and a bass clarinet to the ENMU-Roswell Community Band on Thursday, August 18 at 2:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center on campus. Cheney also plays in the band and was recently granted lifetime member status. The instruments are valued at approximately $6,000 and will be loaned to musicians who wish to play in the band, but do not have their own instrument.

Members of the ENMU-Roswell Community Band include senior citizens, community members, high school students, and middle school students. Kent Jordan is the director for the band that meets on Mondays from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center. The group is always seeking new members who would like to join. For information, contact Jane Batson, ENMU-Roswell Division of Health Chairperson, at 624.7233.

Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell is one of three educational institutions in the state to receive federal funding which will enhance academic resources available to middle school students in Chaves County. ENMU-Roswell received a $1.376 million GEAR UP or Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs grant from the U.S. Department of Education. It is expected that ENMU-Roswell will receive a similar grant amount for the next six years. The grant will take effect September 1 and will serve 1,720 middle school students in seven schools in Chaves County.

GEAR UP was first created in 1998 and was designed to promote student achievement and access to postsecondary education among low-income families. Nationwide, GEAR UP grants have served more than a million students per year. Statistics show that close to 25 percent of the population in Chaves County lives in poverty and more than 70 percent of all students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

According to Cherryl Kilness, Associate Dean of Instructional Support at ENMU-Roswell, the grant will allow the campus to implement an early intervention program, targeting sixth and seventh grade students. The program will include tutoring, mentoring, and after school programs for students at risk of dropping out of school. Kilness said activities will also involve parents. “We’re excited about this huge grant,” she said. “It will be wonderful for our schools and we will do all we can to raise the achievement levels of these students so they can graduate from high school and be ready to attend college.” Kilness thanked Natasha Mackey, Freshman Seminar instructor and Hilda Pacheco-Peeples, Assistant Director of the Adult Basic Education Program, for their work in writing the grant application.

ENMU-Roswell has provided support services to public schools through a state GEAR UP grant in previous years. In announcing the grant awards, U.S. Senators Jeff Bingaman and Pete Domenici were optimistic about the success of GEAR UP programs.

“This GEAR UP funding will be put to good use in our state, encouraging more New Mexico students to prepare for, attend, and succeed in college,” Bingaman said.

“Programs like GEAR UP supplement the funding that already is in place and provides excellent opportunities for students to develop skills are that conducive to attending postsecondary schools,” said Domenici.

The other grant recipients are Clovis Community College, which will receive $516,000 and New Mexico Highlands University, which will receive $563,558.

A two-day class in the basics of barbequing and smoking meats will be offered by Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell later this month. The class will be held on Saturday, Aug. 27 and Sunday, Aug. 28 in the Occupational Technology Center on campus.

The course will focus on the skills and tools needed to properly smoke and barbeque food. Information on the proper selection and preparation of meats, rubs, sauces and equipment will be combined in two days of hands-on workshops. Students will learn to prepare the foods and set up both grills and smokers. Discussion topics will give the back yard griller the knowledge needed to enter BBQ competitions. Three meat projects (chicken, ribs and brisket) will allow students to practice the skills they learn and following the course, students can then take home and eat their projects.

The class will begin each day at 8 a.m. The Saturday class will end at 5 p.m. The Sunday class will end at 3 p.m. Smokers will be manned at night by staff to insure proper cooking temperatures are maintained. Upon completion of the course, students will receive a “Pitmaster” certificate of completion. Topics will include
food safety and practices; proper equipment selection and usage; proper wood and fuel selection for grilling/smoking; meat selection and preparation; and smoking meats for competition.

“Students will take home all three of their food projects,” said Michael O’Berry, Safety Training Specialist and course instructor. “If you have ever ruined a brisket or just want to learn how to make succulent pulled pork, this is the class for you. This is an adult class and couples are strongly encouraged to attend,” he said.

Students are encouraged to sign up early as class size is limited. The cost of the class is $65 per person. To sign up, contact Merry Montoya at 624.7219.

On Aug. 2, Felecia Harvey, instructor of Life Sciences at ENMU-Roswell, presented Bob Cates, president of the ENMU-Roswell Foundation, with a check for $213. Students from Harvey's Biology 209 and 210 classes collected soda cans for two semesters, then sold the cans to a local recycling plant. The proceeds were donated to the ENMU-Roswell Foundation. Harvey said that the $213 represented seven pickup truck loads of aluminum cans.

The ENMU-Roswell Foundation was formed in 1999, organized exclusively to provide financial and material support for the promotion of education and training at the ENMU-Roswell campus. Such support includes, but is not limited to, fostering educational opportunities and the granting of scholarships and fellowships for academic, career and technical training.

Roswell area golfers are encouraged to sign up early for the ENMU-Roswell Foundation Scholarship Golf Tournament. The tournament will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Spring River Golf Course.

The cost for the four-person team scramble tournament is $50 per player. Teams should have a minimum total handicap of 40. The fee includes lunch, gift bags for each player, and awards for the top three teams, the longest drive, and closest to the pin. Additional prize drawings will also be held with items donated from a number of local businesses. Players will also have an opportunity to win a new car. Eastern New Mexico Medical Center is a corporate sponsor of the event, as is Bank of America, and Desert Sun Roswell.

Proceeds from the golf tournament will benefit College Access Program Scholarships (CAPS). CAPS will give every student in Chaves County schools (public or private) the opportunity to attend ENMU-Roswell after high school graduation. Players are urged to sign up by Oct. 8.

Hole sponsorships, team sponsorships, and corporate sponsorships are also being sought. A sign up sheet and more information is available on the campus web site at www.roswell.enmu.edu or contact Fred Van Orden at 624.7006.

HACU’s 19th Annual Conference will focus on the future of Hispanic leaders

San Antonio, TX – The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities’ (HACU) 19th Annual Conference will prove a powerful platform to promote the college and career needs of the country’s largest ethnic population, and plays a vital role in shaping the future of higher education policies and priorities, as the country’s only Hispanic higher education conference.

“Championing Hispanic Higher Education Success: Preparing the Next Generation of Leaders” is the apt title for this year’s conference October 15-18, 2005 at the Phoenix Civic Plaza in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.

The Mayor of Phoenix, Arizona, Phil Gordon will be the keynote speaker at the Opening Plenary on Saturday, October 15, 2005, at 4 p.m. A lively Town Hall session will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 10 a.m. with Dr. Mark Yudof, Chancellor of the University of Texas System Office and Dr. Matthew Goldstein, Chancellor of City University of New York, serving as keynote speakers. Mario Bosquez, author of The Chalupa Rules: A Latino Guide to Gringolandia, will speak at the Power Lunch on Monday, Oct. 17, at noon.

HACU’s 19th Annual Conference will focus on efforts to maximize existing resources to prepare future leaders, as well as to build new support for substantial increases in private- and public-sector investments in Hispanic students.

The leadership of HACU’s more than 400 member and partner colleges and universities will join public policy makers, corporate executives, community advocates, educators and students at conference sessions showcasing changing demographics, latest trends and model Hispanic higher education programs.

Lead sponsors of this year’s conference include Arizona State University, A T &T, Gateway, Home Depot, Maricopa Community College District, Nelnet, the United States Coast Guard, the University of Arizona and Wal-Mart.

HACU is delighted to welcome a stellar roster of exhibitors to this year’s Conference Exhibit Hall and Career Fair, which will showcase outstanding products, services and programs, as well as scholarship, internship and employment opportunities.

A Dress for Success live fashion show will also take place in the Exhibit Hall featuring apparel from major national retailers. Examples of Professional Dress, Business Casual and Casual Friday looks will be featured. A local radio station will provide music for the event.
HACU’s Legislative Agenda is working to stop the continuing decline of local, state and federal support for our institutions of higher learning. In many areas, recent funding cuts have had the most impact on already under-funded Hispanic-Serving Institutions, or HSIs, which serve the largest concentrations of Hispanic higher education students. Conference workshops on HEA reauthorization, which is not expected to be voted on by Congress until next year, will provide the latest information on reauthorization developments. Our country’s investments in higher education will fuel our innovations, economic growth, social progress and leadership role in a world increasingly driven by advanced technologies demanding the highest levels of knowledge and skills.

Opening new doors to college for our Hispanic communities is crucial to providing an advanced education to a population that will have a profound impact on our future workforce and leadership ranks. Therefore, workshops covering resources available and needed to prepare young Latinos and Latinas to become the future leaders of this country will be held at the conference.

The country’s approximately 242 Hispanic-Serving Institutions, or HSIs, on average continue to receive only about half of the federal funding per student provided to all other degree-granting institutions.

The sheer growth in the numbers of higher education institutions becoming eligible as HSIs each year, fueled by rapid increases in the Hispanic school-age population, exacerbates Hispanic higher education funding challenges by multiplying the number of HSIs competing for a fixed pool of available federal resources.

At HACU's 19th Annual Conference, our participants will address these tremendous challenges through unique networking and partnership-building opportunities within the United States and abroad.

HACU’s membership collectively serves more than two-thirds of all Hispanic higher education students in the United States and Puerto Rico. HACU’s international membership includes leading higher education institutions throughout Latin America and in Spain. Our member colleges and universities are at the forefront of every major effort to better serve a population that continues to suffer the lowest college graduation rates of any major population group.

Sessions on international education issues ranging from cross-border partnerships to the worldwide reach of new distance learning technologies for the global Hispanic community will be a daily focus at HACU’s 19th Annual Conference.

HACU will welcome hundreds of future Hispanic college students at our pre-conference Youth Leadership Fair and hundreds of top Hispanic college students who will learn and contribute their youthful perspectives.

HACU, which has its national headquarters in San Antonio, represents more than 400 colleges and universities, including Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), which collectively serve more than two-thirds of all Hispanic higher education students in the United States. HACU’s international membership includes leading higher education institutions in Latin America and in Spain.

Excel series – Auto-Expanding Chart Series
In earlier versions of Excel, it was difficult to create a chart that expands when data is added to the end of one or more of the series. Excel 2003's List feature solves this problem. To designate a data area as a list, click in a cell in the soon-to-be list, and choose Data | List | Create List. Then create your chart using the list data. Now, whenever you add new data to your list, the data area plotted by the chart expands automatically to include it.
