'Dawg Days' On Track to Run August 25-28
by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

Dawg Days is here again. The fun-filled week of new student orientation, fun and entertainment will run Aug. 25-28.

“The main goal of Dawg Days is to provide an opportunity for new students to meet one another and develop support systems”, says Jeff Blake, interim director of the Office of Student Activities and Organizations. “It is also an opportunity to inform and educate students about all of the campus services available to them.”

Sponsored by the Office of Student Activities and Organizations, Dawg Days is a student-driven orientation process for all new students attending Eastern. “We have 30 students involved as camp counselors, as well as three student co-directors: Chalise Baker, Manuel Gonzales and Malia Rummel,” says Mr. Blake. “These students have been involved as far back as the initial planning stages.

”Along with student orientation, there will be entertainment as well. Events such as a barbeque, a hypnotist, an ice cream social and a concert are just some of the highlights of a week full of activities. “The entire week is fun but with a purpose,” says Mr. Blake. “We geared this year’s activities to be student-driven; a new student is more likely to listen to their peers.”

Although the basic format of Dawg Days remains the same, there have been several small changes. For instance, this year every student who participates receives a name badge with a list of activities on it. For every activity attended, the student gets a hole punched in their name badge. Before the final event, the Aaron Watson concert, the badges will be collected and there will be a drawing for a $200 Textbook Scholarship donated by Jessie Luna, director of the ENMU Campus Bookstore.

Another difference in the festival this year is the Alumni Dinner. In the past, the dinner has been held in the Campus Union Ballroom. This year, it will be held downstairs in the cafeteria, and the Homecoming theme, “Mardi Gras, Eastern style,” will be introduced to incoming freshmen, as well as the introduction of the class ring, which will include a drawing for two $100 scholarships that go toward the purchase of the ring.

Janice Cowen, coordinator of Alumni Affairs, says, “We wanted to do this year’s Alumni Dinner from a totally different perspective. Being in a new place can be overwhelming, with new rules, new responsibilities and a new campus. We wanted the Alumni Dinner to be a fun experience.”

There will be student athletes as guest speakers, as well as several members of the Alumni Board in attendance. “The goal of our office is to promote spirit, pride and tradition throughout the university. It is important that we instill this in our students from their first days on campus,” says Ms. Cowen.

This year there will be a snake dance lead by members of the student council, with music provided by Eastern’s“Greyhound Sound” band.

The big finale of Dawg Days is an Aaron Watson concert that will be held at 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 27 in the Campus Union Ballroom. “Aaron put on such a great show the last time he was here. We are very excited to have him back,” says Mr. Blake.

“Everyone in or office has worked very hard on this project, and we are really looking forward to the festivities. This will be the best Dawg Days ever.”

ENMU Professor Reveives Internal Grant to Study Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria

Editor's Note: Several ENMU professors have received internal grants to further their research. Today, the Monday Memo spotlights the research of Dr. Manuel Varela, assistant professor of biology, who is studying multi-drug resistant enteric bacteria in an important agricultural environment, such as dairy soil.

Interpretive summary:

Dairy soil samples were collected, and bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family were purified. The isolates’ antibiotic resistance profiles were determined with and without salycilate – a component of aspirin, a mar operon modulator. The isolates were either already intrinsically resistant to multiple clinically-relevant antibiotics or induced to be multidrug resistant with salycilate. Many isolates had plasmids that conferred resistance to chloramphenicol and penicillin. The study thus implicates dairy soil as a potential reservoir of multi-drug resistant bacteria in the transmission of infectious disease from dairy farm animals to humans.

Abstract:

Antibiotics are extensively used in agricultural settings, such as for treatment of infections, growth enhancement and prophylaxis in food animals, leading to selection of drug and multidrug resistant bacteria. In order to help circumvent the problem of bacterial antibiotic resistance, it is first necessary to understand the scope of the problem. However, it is not fully understood how widespread antibiotic resistant bacteria are in agricultural settings. The lack of such surveillance data is especially evident in dairy farm environments, such as soil.

It is also unknown to what extent various physiological modulators, such as salycilate, a component of aspirin and known model modulator of multiple antibiotic resistance (mar) genes, influence bacterial multidrug resistance. We isolated and identified enteric soil bacteria from local dairy farms within Roosevelt County, N.M., determined the resistance profiles to antibiotics associated with mar, such as chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, penicillin G and tetracycline. We then purified and characterized plasmid DNA and detected mar phenotypic activity.

The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antibiotics for the isolates ranged between 6 - >50 mg/mL for chloramphenicol, 2-8 mg/mL for nalidixic acid, 25- >300 mg/mL for penicillin G and 1- > 80 mg/mL for tetracycline. On the other hand, the many of the isolates had significantly enhanced MICs for the same antibiotics in the presence of 5 mM salycilate. Plasmid DNA extracted from 12 randomly chosen isolates ranged in size between 6 and 12.5kb and in several cases conferred resistances to chloramphenicol and penicillin G.

It is concluded that enteric bacteria from dairy farm topsoil are multi-drug resistant and harbor antibiotic resistance plasmids. A role for dairy topsoil in zoonosis is suggested, thus implicating this environment as a reservoir for bacterial resistance development against clinically relevant antibiotics.

Employee Briefs

Dr. Don Holladay, assistant professor of religion and instructor of philosophy, attended the "Summer Classics" at St. John's College in Santa Fe during the week of July 25-29. Dr. Holladay joined with eight other students and two tutors studying the works of the twentieth century philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. Levinas's philosophy is built on a critique of phenomenology, in which he asserts that the ethical precedes the material, and is the basis of what is distinctively human thought. Levinas' thought has gained in importance among European thinkers in the last twenty years. Dr. Holladay has participated in the Summer Classics at St. John's for two consecutive summers. Last summer, he studied the dialogues of Plato.

Dr. Michael F. Shaughnessy and Dr. Peter McLaren of UCLA have had a paper accepted for publication in The International Journal of Progressive Education.

Dr. Amy Hazelrigg has moved to Farmington, N.M., where she will continue to teach for the C&I department. She is the new site coordinator for Eastern New Mexico University at San Juan College.

ENMU to Open 2005 Football Season on Thursday Against Central Arkansas
(game to be in 53,727-Seat War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock)
by Robert McKinney
Sports Information Director

The Eastern New Mexico University football team will open the 2005 season by playing in the largest stadium in school history when the Greyhounds take on the University of Central Arkansas at the 53,727-seat War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark. The game will take place on the earliest date in school history, as ENMU and UCA will open the 2005 season on Thursday, Aug. 25, the first permissible date under NCAA Division II rules.

The ENMU/UCA game will be a rematch of last fall’s exciting 38-31 win for the Bears, in which ENMU nearly rallied from a 21-0 deficit late in the first half. More importantly, the game will be a benefit for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock.

Eastern’s game at War Memorial Stadium highlights an 11-game schedule. The Greyhounds will play five games at Greyhound Stadium and six games on the road.

The home schedule includes LSC crossover games against Southeastern Oklahoma State University (Sept. 3) and East Central University (Sept. 17), plus LSC South Division games with Angelo State University (Oct. 1), Tarleton State University (Oct. 15) and Midwestern State University (Oct. 29). Homecoming will be against Angelo State, with the game kicking off at 6 p.m. MST instead of a traditional mid-afternoon start. Tarleton State replaces Texas A&M University-Commerce, which is making a permanent move to the LSC North, while TSU returns to the LSC South.

ENMU will have three lengthy road trips — to Central Arkansas for the season-opener, to Texas A&M University-Kingsville on Oct. 22 and to Western New Mexico University on Nov. 5. Two trips of about five hours each will be taken to Southwestern Oklahoma State University on Sept. 10 and to Abilene Christian University on Sept. 24. The shortest trip of the season will be about a two-hour ride to Canyon, Texas, to take on West Texas A&M University on Oct. 8.

With the change of Homecoming to an evening kickoff, all of Eastern’s home games will be played at night. The Greyhounds will play four road games at night as well, with the games at ACU (1 p.m. MST) and Western New Mexico (1 p.m. MST) scheduled for afternoon starts.

The ENMU football team will be after its eighth consecutive winning season. In 2004, the Greyhounds achieved an overall record of 6-5, including 4-2 in the LSC South (third place). Mark Ribaudo, who will be in his first season as head coach, was Eastern’s defensive coordinator the past eight years.

Two 'Hounds in Baseball Heaven on 'Field of Dreams'

For two Greyhounds, heaven was Iowa this past July. Donald “Doc” Elder, professor of history, and his son Cam (B.A. 2002, M.A. 2004) fulfilled a lifelong dream when they squared off against each other on the baseball diamond in Dyersville, Iowa, where the movie “Field of Dreams” was filmed.

“Doc” threw fastballs, curveballs and change-ups to Cam, all of them strikes according to the voice of ENMU athletics. Cam deposited almost every one of these 25-30 rows deep into the corn in left field. His other two swings resulted in line drives into left-center field. The best that “Doc” could do off Cam (the ENMU Homecoming King in 2003) was to put one into the cornfield in right on one hop.

According to the elder Elder, a wind that he estimated at 80 MPH was blowing in from right and kept his ball from reaching the cornfield on the fly. Photos don’t seem to bear that atmospheric phenomenon out, but “Doc” is sticking to his story.

At the end of the day, the two Greyhounds left the field with some great memories, and two very sore arms.

Golf Course Descriptions for Top Three Winning Teams

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.

Portales National Bank – University Branch Lunch Hours – We are currently closing our branch during the lunch hour, 12-1 p.m. Starting 2005 Fall Semester, we will be closing year-round for the lunch hour.

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

ENMU Community Invited to Ice Cream Social – Faculty, staff and students are invited to join the College of Business for free ice cream sundaes. To welcome everyone back and get the 2005-2006 academic year off to a great start, please come to The College of Business' 13th Annual Ice Cream Social on Wednesday, Sept. 7 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the foyer of the College of Business. (For those who are health conscious, fat free yogurt will be available.)

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.

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

Computing
Word series – Formatting Page Numbers
In Word you can format page numbers just as you would format any other text in your document. (This assumes, of course, that you have already inserted the page numbers.) For instance, you can make the page numbers bold, italic, change the size, etc.
If you are working in Page Layout view, you can double-click on the header or footer, select the page number, and manually format them. If you are working in Normal or Outline view, you will have to make the header or footer visible in order to format the page numbers. This is done in the following manner.
1. Position the insertion point in the section whose page numbers you wish to format.
2. Choose Header and Footer from the View menu. You will see the Header and Footer dialog box.
3. Use the tools in the dialog box to display the header or footer, as desired.
4. Select the page number in the header or footer and format it as you would normal text in your document.

PowerPoint series – Using the mouse to move an object a minuscule distance can be very frustrating. Forget the mouse and use the keyboard instead. Just select the object you want to nudge and use the arrow keys to move it in the direction you want. Each press of the key will move the object 1/12 of an inch.
