Creature from Lubbock Garage Coming to Natural History Museum
by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

"Sooner or later, you gotta pay the alligator." – from a song by The Flatlanders

There is a new display in the Natural History Museum at Eastern New Mexico University, thanks to the National Science Foundation and some very talented folks at the Physical Plant. The display will hold the newest addition to the Natural History Museum, Caiman crocodylus, a South American alligatorid.

Creature Came from Lubbock Garage

“This is a reptile that belongs to the same family as the North American alligator,” says Dr. Marv Lutnesky, museum director. "It was living in a Lubbock garage, and a former student of mine obtained it from a family there that could no longer keep it."

For the last year the creature has been living in a tank in an enclosed area in the back of the Science Building, where it is being fed by Science Technician Huie Brown.

Huie and the News

“I feed the Caiman two or three times a week, rotating between stew pork, stew beef, fish and sometimes chicken," says Mr. Brown. "I think it likes fish best. It eats about 1/2 pound per feeding right now. We also give it calcium supplements."

The little critter has grown from 3 to 3 1/2 feet during its year at Eastern.

According to Dr. Lutnesky, the species can grow to over eight feet for males and six feet for females. Because of its aggressive nature, the sex of ENMU's pet has not yet been determined, but will be after it is moved into its display case – which will tentatively be after a tropical mural is painted inside.

'Gee-Whiz' Attraction Needed

A big attraction of the Natural History Museum used to be "Rover," the huge python snake. Since it was donated to the zoo in Clovis, Dr. Lutnesky feels that there has been a void. "We needed a 'gee-whiz' attraction to keep the kids excited about coming to our museum," he says. "Hopefully, this will accomplish that. We will also hold a 'Name the Caiman' contest this fall."

James Chacon, Mike Nuckols and Dan Robinson of the Physical Plant were involved with constructing the new state-of-the-art display. Mr. Robinson did the actual shop drawings for its design and built it. Made of walnut and oak, the height of the display runs from floor to ceiling, although the habitat for the reptile is raised two feet six inches off the ground in order to fit pumps and various electrical devices underneath. Made of walnut and oak, the height of the display runs from floor to ceiling, although the habitat for the reptile is raised two feet six inches off the ground in order to fit pumps and various electrical devices underneath.

The Life of Riley

The interior dimensions of the display area are 16.5 feet long by 9.5 feet deep in roughly a triangular shape, according to Mr. Brown. The custom-built pond is roughly kidney shaped with maximum dimensions of 10 feet by 5 feet and 18 inches deep. The pond is sloped at one end so the Caiman can climb out of it with ease.

The pond holds approximately 600 gallons of water. "We have two filters that will filter and heat the water to around 30 degrees Celsius or about 86 degrees Fahrenheit," says Mr. Brown.

The newest addition to the Eastern family will spend the bulk of his time inside the pond, which is surrounded by stucco and concrete. “There were a lot of special considerations in building this display,” says Mr. Chacon. “The case is massive, and had to be custom made to fit the space. It was a big job.”

Strong Material Needed to Contain Ferocious Critter

It also had to be made with very strong material. Because the Caiman is so aggressive, the doors on either side of the case that are used for cleaning and feeding had to be reinforced. Other special considerations included ventilation at the top of the case, as well as steps on the front and side of the case so small children can get a proper view of the Caiman.

Mr. Chacon says that because of the size of the job, it had to be done in stages. After the old display was torn out, and new measurements for the display determined, the case was built in the shop in three separate, very large pieces, brought to the museum and put together there.

Mr. Nuckols, building services manager and project supervisor, says, “This custom-made display case looks like a fine piece of furniture. Dan Robinson is a master carpenter and did a great job.”

ENMU Graduate Donates Scientific Equipment to Alma Mater
Story and photo by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

Eastern New Mexico University alumnus Dr. Gary Calton and his wife, Sandra, recently donated a large amount of scientific equipment to the Science Department at Eastern. The estimated value of the equipment totals over $500,000, and includes equipment ranging from beakers to centrifuges and from incubators to ultra-freezers.

Dr. Manuel Varela, associate professor of biology says, “It was like Christmas day opening up the boxes and distributing the equipment to very grateful people. Dr. Calton is a very kind and generous human being.”

Dr. Calton has enjoyed a very successful career and has many scientific inventions to his credit. He earned a bachelor of science in chemistry in 1965 as well as a master of science in chemistry in 1968 from ENMU. He is also president of the biotechnology company AuRx, and has served as president of Calwood Nutritionals, which developed Nutramine, a nutritional supplement formulated for kidney disease patients and those with the early signs of kidney disease. A Mexican pharmaceutical company just licensed the AuRx technology which provides an “effective cure” for genital herpes. His wife, Sandra, earned her bachelor of science in biology at Eastern in 1967. She is a CPA and serves as vice president and chief financial officer of all of these companies.

Among the equipment donated, some of the more notable items are incubators, used for growing cultures, a thermocycler, used to analyze DNA, and an ultra-freezer, which can cool to temperatures of –80 Celsius. According to Dr. Varela, the ultra-freezer is quite a gift in itself because the science department can now store tissue and bacterial samples. “This is a great item to receive. It is very expensive. Without this donation, it would have been a long time until the university could have afforded equipment like this.”

Dr. Varela says that this is a gift everyone will benefit from. “Molecular and cellular biologists will receive the bulk of the equipment, but the microbiologists as well as organic and biochemists will benefit as well.”

Dr. Varela adds, “This equipment will allow us to do experiments that we have not been able to do before. It also expands our teaching and research capabilities, especially in the area of immunity. This equipment makes us capable of research that other universities in New Mexico can do in the area of biomedical research, and may even include some experiments that they cannot perform.”

Dr. Calton also has roots in eastern New Mexico. Raised in Portales, his mother and father founded Calton Furniture, the family business his brother and sister still run today. His brother, Bill Calton, retired from Eastern after serving as a professor of mathematics for over 30 years.

Dr. Steven Gamble, ENMU president, sums up the magnanimous donation. “The donation of this equipment will help us move forward, especially in the area of faculty research. We are very grateful to Dr. Calton for his very generous donation.”

Retiring Rita Not Over the Hill Yet
Interview and photo by Wendel Sloan
Communication Services

Rita Hill, executive secretary of Business Affairs, is retiring on July 29 after 30 years at Eastern. Her first day on the job was Oct. 30, 1975. In this interview below, she talks about her memories and her future plans to live the Life of Riley.

Q. Tell us about your history at ENMU?

A. You're making me have to really think a long ways back! I went to High Plains Area Vocational/Technical School (now Clovis Community College) the year after I graduated from high school. I went through the secretarial program, which was an 11-month program. I graduated in July 1975 with a certificate of completion. When High Plains became the ENMU-Clovis campus, former students were able to convert a lot of our classes over to regular credits through ENMU-Portales. When that happened, I took more classes and got my associate's in secretarial science degree.

Upon graduation from High Plains, I immediately started looking for jobs and applied for every secretarial opening that became available at ENMU. I can remember going to so many interviews and being told that I had good skills, but no experience. I can remember interviewing with Sandra Matheny for a job in Financial Aid (I think) and becoming so frustrated that I asked her how I was supposed to get experience if no one would hire me?!

My official hire date was October 1975, but I actually started in August 1975 as a temporary employee. Irene Ribble hired me to work during registration. I worked for about three weeks, was off about a week, and then Irene called to see if I could come back to work as "temporary" to help in all of the Business Office areas to help get departments caught up that had filing or other tasks. Once I was working as a temporary employee, everyone kept me posted on regular positions that opened up, and I was able to use the people I had been working for as a reference.

I finally got two job offers – both on the same day. One was for the Computer Center as a Data Entry Clerk and the other was in University Printing (although it was not that at the time). I took the position at the Computer Center and worked there for two years (Oct. 1975-Sept. 1977), then transferred to the Personnel Department as an Administrative Secretary where I worked for 11 years (Sept. 1977-Jan. 1989), then I transferred to my current position of Executive Secretary in January of 1989. I have worked for two directors in the Personnel Department, four vice presidents in my current position and there have been five presidents since I came to ENMU.

Q. What are some of your best memories about working here?

A. Some of my best memories are the parties in the Business Affairs area (except for the Monday Memo editor always taking my photo when I was eating)! There were a few years that the whole Administration Building would go in together for Halloween and Christmas parties – everyone would bring food and tables would be set up in the front entry foyer of the building. But the Halloween parties were the most fun, because the majority of the people would dress up!

Q. What will you miss the most?

A. The people – do we ever miss work? I have met so many neat people over the years and still keep in touch with a lot of them.

Q. What are some of the biggest changes you've seen at Eastern?

A. Probably the technology. When I started working at Eastern, everything had to be typed on a regular typewriter and we didn't even have correcting typewriters – we had to make corrections the old-fashioned way with correction tape or just start over. There have also been lots of changes in relocation of offices, remodeling of buildings, and new buildings being built. When I first started at ENMU, the Computer Center was in Greyhound Arena, Financial Aid, Admissions, Inventory and Printing Services were all in this building (Administration).

Q. What are your future plans?

A. I don't really have any set plans. I have a list of things I want to get done around my house and, hopefully, I'll get to keep my grandbaby a little more often!

Q. What are your hobbies?

A. I don't really have any hobbies other than reading – maybe I'll take up something now that I'll have a little more time. I've been told by other retirees that I'll be so busy that I'll wonder how I ever had time to work. I'm looking forward to it!

Q. What other things do you want to do before you die?

A. Travel. When I get old – really old! – I'd like to say that I've been to every state in the U.S. and several places out of the country.

Q. Any other thoughts or comments?

A. It's been an interesting 30 years and I've learned a lot and seen a lot of changes over the years. When I started out here and people talked about retirement, I would have never dreamed that I would work here for 30 years!

Q. How did you feel about getting your picture taken for this story?

A. You know the answer to that!!!

Rita Didn't Always Appreciate (photo by Wendel Sloan)

The Monday Memo Editor taking her photo at various receptions around campus.

In Fact, She Even Threatened (photo by Wendel Sloan)

Him with Bodily Harm – if he ran this one. "I will blacken both of your eyes if anyone ever sees me eating again," she vowed at this reception in Business Affairs a couple of years ago. The editor was not worried, however, because, as he said after the threat, "I am Rita's neighbor and know that she is a sweet, non-violent person who would never hurt a fly."

First-Generation College Graduate Teaching First Grade in Portales
(also working as student hire in Counseling and Career Services for the summer)
by Shelley Gilmore
Communication Services

ENMU graduate April Kirkpatrick of Albuquerque is a first grade teacher for Steiner Elementary in Portales.

In the fall of 2004, after graduating from ENMU, April began at Steiner Elementary in Portales as a permanent substitute for a teacher who started training in Reading Recovery. Her title as permanent sub didn’t last long and she was moved into the first-grade teacher position.

The Highland High School graduate majored in elementary education and minored in reading. April says, “I’m the first one in my family to graduate from college. All of my reading courses that I took at Eastern have really helped me as a teacher.”

As a graduate student at ENMU, April is getting her master's in reading. “I’m taking different courses pertaining to education and they are really helping me in my job."

Most of the graduate classes April is taking are through the Internet on Web Ct. “It is so convenient because I can take Web classes while I’m teaching. The online classes make it so much easier for me to still continue working on my master's during the school year.”

April expects to receive her master's in December of 2006. “It will be easy for me to do my master's project since I can research out of my own classroom,” she says.

As if teaching and getting a master's is not enough, April is working in Eastern's Counseling and Career Services as a student hire for the summer. She says, “It gives me something to do for the summer while I look forward to starting another school year.”

ENMU Sponsored KFDA-TV's 'Summer Celebration' Tour – ENMU was one of the sponsors for KFDA-TV's "Summer Celebration Tour" in which the Amarillo TV station broadcast the news from the Portales square last Monday. Eastern was listed on a T-Shirt and mentioned on the air. ENMU graduate Pedro Martinez works as a cameraman for KFDA. ENMU employee and noon-time basketball commissioner Wendel Sloan won a 20-inch TV from KFDA in a drawing after the broadcast.

ENMU Video Airing on Amarillo TV Stations – The 30-minute "Touring Your Future" show, which features ENMU and other educational institutions, is airing again in July and August on KAMR, KCIT and KCPN TV stations in Amarillo. ENMU also has a 30-second spot which will air 50 times on the three stations.

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.

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.

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