ENMU Sponsoring KFDA-TV's 'Summer Celebration' Tour – ENMU is one of the sponsors for KFDA-TV's "Summer Celebration Tour" in which the Amarillo TV station will broadcast the news live from various towns in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico from July 4-15.

Local Artist Selected for 'Sculpture in the Park, 2005' – Ken Leap, husband of math professor Regina Aragon, has been selected to participate in “Sculpture in the Park 2005,” now the largest outdoor juried sculpture show in the country, featuring 180 artists from around the world. The show is in Loveland, Colo., on Aug. 13-14. Please stop by if you are in the area. For more information on the show go to www.sculptureinthepark.org/. To see what Ken has been up to lately, visit www.kenleap.com.

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.

Students May Register Now for Summer and Fall – The second summer term at Eastern begins July 5. Currently enrolled students may register now for the summer or fall terms.

Students need to contact their advisor before registering. New students should contact the Advising Center at 562.2338.

Those not yet admitted, can apply online at www.enmu.edu/apply.

For more information, call 1.800.FOR.ENMU (562.2178 locally) or e-mail enrollment.services@enmu.edu.

Helpdesk Summer Hours for University Computer Center – In between semesters, 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. on Monday-Friday. During the summer sessions, the Helpdesk hours will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday-Friday. Time changes are effective May 16.

Message from President Regarding Realignments – After reviewing the comments that were expressed by faculty and staff regarding the proposed realignment, I have decided to recommend the following to the Board of Regents, effective July 1, 2005.

1. Campus Police - Change in Reporting Line: From VPSA to VPBA
2. KENW - Change in Reporting Line: From VPAA to VPURES
3. Athletics - Change in Reporting Line: From President to VPSA
4. Faculty Resource Center - Change in Reporting Line: From Library to Extended Learning
5. Ruidoso Campus - Change in Reporting Line: From VPAA to President
6. Grants and Contracts - Change in Reporting Line: From President to Executive Director, Planning and Analysis
7. Retention Initiative - Office of Responsibility: Executive Director, Planning and Analysis

It was decided to maintain Media Services' reporting relationship to the Library, but to move the responsibilities for the "smart" classrooms and other IT - related items to Information Technology Services.

Advising and Freshman Studies will move to the Retention Initiative which will report to Dr. Patrice Caldwell. A new position entitled director of Retention Activities has been established to coordinate initiatives aimed at improving student success.

The most comments received were in regard to the move of Grants and Contracts from the president to the executive director of Planning and Analysis. I believe the location of the grants coordinator is much less important than the quality and dedication of the person who will hold the position. Thus far, our search for the grants coordinator has been unsuccessful, but we will attempt to offer good service through people in the Business Office until we can employ the right person. Please be assured that the area of grants and contracts will continue to be a priority at the University.

I thank those of you who offered input. Please call me if you have further questions or comments.

Steve Gamble
President

If your school has any new and exciting developments or events focusing on the use of technology in learning and teaching, please feel free to submit them to kglen@teachmag.com, before July 31.

Higher Learning concentrates on technology-based educational applications for post-secondary institutions.

Higher Learning addresses the many ways technology impacts post-secondary teaching and learning through practical information in articles, columns, application stories, case histories and profiles, and presents comprehensive product information to readers. No other electronic publication in North America presents consistent, substantive content in this area for the post-secondary school market.

We know what educators are looking for: information that is useful and pragmatic. As an electronic publication, Higher Learning directly reflects the interests and concerns of our readers. Better yet, much of the content comes directly from educators themselves. Peers speak directly to peers about the latest applications affecting the delivery of information. Readers have the opportunity to respond immediately to information they view in Higher Learning. Online readership surveys and feedback posted on Higher Learning¹s Web site (http://www.teachmag.com/higher_learning.asp) create an instant dialogue with readers.

Higher Learning reaches some 234,000 post-secondary school staff, instructors, assistant professors, professors, department heads, deans and presidents of colleges and universities in North America. This audience constitutes the key technology decision-makers at the post-secondary school level.

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

Computing
Word series – If Word changes your formatting without your permission
There is a little “feature” in Word which can automatically updating your styles for you. Unfortunately, this is more of a headache than a feature. If you find that when you change some formatting (for instance, making some text bold), Word changes all of your text instead of just the text you had highlighted, this is your culprit. To fix it:
1. From the Format menu, choose Style. In the list on the left, select Normal, and then click on the Modify button.
2. Uncheck the “Automatically update” box. (If the “Automatically update” box is not checked, then this style is not the problem. Go back to the list, choose a different style, and repeat the process.)
3. Click OK, and then click Apply.

Outlook series – Signatures
If you create signatures through the Tools | Options dialog, OE has a Signatures tab, but you will find Outlook signatures under the Mail Format tab. If you create more than one signature, you choose the one that will be the default via the Set as Default button in OE and the Signature Picker button in Outlook. In both programs, you can have the default signature inserted into each e-mail message automatically, or you can have no signatures appended automatically and select the one you wish through the Insert | Signature menu command. You can opt to omit signatures from replies and forwards.

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 4528 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.

If you have a tip you would like to share with us please send it to: ENMU.TechTips@enmu.edu
