Scenes from ENMU's Participation in BRAC Commission Hearing (photos by Noelle Bartl, Wanda Newberry and Richard Salas)

They Sure Hated to Miss Work – ENMU was enthusiastically represented at the BRAC Commission Hearing in Clovis on Friday, June 24. An official decision on whether to keep Cannon Air Force Base open is expected in September. After the hearing, Debi Lee, Portales City Manager, e-mailed: "I want to thank everyone for all their hard work and effort. This was a great success from the Portales citizens and made a difference in the success of the hearing process. We are hopeful it will also influence the decision of the BRAC Commission." Sharon Davis e-mailed: "Many thanks for the help in loading the buses! We sent four buses from ENMU, two buses full of Upward Bound students, six buses full of Portales citizens, twelve pieces of heavy equipment courtesy of Roosevelt County Rural Telephone, Roosevelt County Rural Electric, Combs Electric, seven pickups full of workers and two police cars, for a total of 33 vehicles in our group, plus persons taking their own cars! It was great and I thank each of you for your part in helping Portales shine in yellow shirts for the BRAC hearing."

Eastern Student Will Travel to Mexico for Mexican Culture Class
by Shelley Gilmore
Communication Services

Helena Rodriguez, an ENMU graduate communications major, will travel to Merida, Mexico on July 5 for an ENMU course called “Mexican Culture and Civilization.” Along with 21 other students, and four children, she will stay with a host family and be within walking distance of the university. The group will return Aug. 2.

Dr. Mary Ayala, professor of modern languages and assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has been conducting the program abroad for 10 years. Dr Ayala says, “Students who go to Mexico for this program come back with a stronger background in Spanish. It is just a whole other world down there.”

Helena feels taking this class is important because, “All my life I’ve been teased because I’m not fluent in Spanish, but I have never had the opportunity to become fluent.” Helena’s parents were fluent but never taught her because they wanted her to learn English first.

Helena, 37, says, “I’m at the point in my life where I’m doing a lot of things I’ve wanted to do for years, like get my master’s. Learning Spanish is one of them,” says Helena.

Helena has 15 years of experience in journalism and feels that as a journalist it is becoming increasingly important to know Spanish. However, it has been hard for her because she is not always around people who speak Spanish. In Merida, they will be completely immersed in Spanish.

Helena says, “I feel this will help me as a journalist, as a future Ph.D. student and as a writer. I enjoy writing about my Hispanic heritage and issues that affect the Hispanic population, so it is important that I become fluent in Spanish.”

Helena is excited about the trip and being able to see the “Real Mexico” that many people don’t get to see. “To be able to tour the Aztec ruins and places that, up until now, I have only read about, and to give my 14-year old daughter, Laura, an opportunity to see another part of the world is very exciting.”
Merida is only about two hours from Cancun and Helena is anxious to swim in the Caribbean.

“This class will benefit students by giving us an opportunity to learn Spanish the right way,” says Helena. “This class isn’t slang or informal Spanish like a lot of people in New Mexico speak.”

Helena feels that the experience will give her a feel for the real Mexico, a deeper appreciation for culture and exciting educational opportunities to see many of those sites first-hand.

Dr. Ayala says that crime is very low in Merida, although the population is over a million, because it is a very cultured community with several universities.

“We will get to experience a lot of culture there. It will be the full Mexican experience and I’m glad it will be in a town like Merida”, says Helena.

Born and raised in Portales, Helena received her bachelor’s from ENMU in 1989. She worked for the Hobbs News-Sun in Hobbs for five years and then for the Abilene Reporter-News in Abilene, Texas, for two and half years. She began working on her master’s degree in 2002. She is now a graduate assistant in the Department of Communicative Arts and Sciences. Last semester she got her first chance to teach on the college level, serving as a graduate assistant for News Writing labs under Patricia Dobson, instructor of communication. Helena also works for Freedom Newspapers of New Mexico and writes a weekly column.

This fall Helena, an active member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, will be reassigned to a newly created position in the communications department called the Coordinator of Student Media. This position will give Helena more of a “hands-on” kind of teaching that she was recommended for because of her experience in journalism. In this position she will serve as a liaison between student media and the administration. She will also write policy manuals, conduct staff training and evaluations and offer feedback. Helena says, “ I will get to work directly with the student media, keeping track of budgets, and, best of all, serving as a kind of ‘coach’ and being able to offer students feedback and direction.”

Helena is also secretary of the Graduate Student Association, and is a VistaCare volunteer in which she spends time with residents of a Hospice.

Helena received several awards in the past few semesters, including honors for poetry and short-story writing from El Portal, a literary magazine at ENMU. In May she was named Outstanding Hispanic Student in Communication by Hispanic Affairs. She won a first-place award in business writing from the New Mexico Associated Press Managing Editor’s Association for a story she wrote for Freedom Newspapers. Her proudest award was winning a third-place Lone Star Award from the Houston Press Club for a column she wrote while with the Abilene Reporter-News.

Helena will graduate in December. She hopes to find a job teaching at a university, or working in journalism or communications, while she pursues a Ph.D.

Faculty Describe Internal Grant Projects

Editor's Note: A number of faculty have received internal grants from ENMU to further research projects. The Monday Memo is spotlighting one of these projects in each issue. Today, we hear from Dr. Caryl Johnson, assistant professor of family and consumer sciences, about eradicating poverty in the Caribbean.

The Role of House Economics Education as a Way to Eradicate Poverty in the Caribbean

"Identifying Caribbean Home Economics Programs in colleges, universities and secondary schools and cooperative extension services that are making a difference in the eradication of poverty is the focus of this research project. A questionnaire will be developed to help identify successful programs that are already in place that hare helping to eradicate Caribbean poverty.

"Presidents of the thirteen regional chapters of the Caribbean Association of Home Economics (CAHE) will distribute the questionnaire to their members and other professional home economists. The researcher and key CAHE professionals will analyze the data from the questionnaires to determine those programs that are making a difference in the eradication of poverty in the Caribbean.

"The researcher will conduct on-site observations of successful programs. Slides and videos will be made of those programs. This data will be compiled into written material that will be shared will all CAHE members and others working to eradicate poverty. Videos to demonstrate successful programs will be made available to CAHE members.

"Data collected from this study will be used in the teaching of the Family and Consumer Sciences course entitled, Developing Global Community Family Members. The results of this study will demonstrate what is being done on various Caribbean islands to eradicate poverty.

" It is important that Family and Consumer Sciences students see the importance of the eradication of poverty not only from a local perspective but what is happening globally and to learn what programs are having an impact on the eradication of poverty."

ENMU Graduate Donates Scientific Equipment to ENMU
Story and photos by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

Eastern New Mexico University alumnus Dr. Gary Calton 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, assistant 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 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. His current company, AuRx, is working to develop a vaccine for the treatment of the HSV, or Herpes Simplex Virus.

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 Celcius. 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, mainly because it is a very expensive item. Without this donation, it would have been a long time until the university could have afforded equipment like this.”

Dr. Manuel 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 sister still runs today. His brother was at one time a math professor at Eastern as well.

Dr. Steven Gamble, president of Eastern sums it up. “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.”

A Score of Students Paint on Campus for Summer Jobs
Story and photos by Shelley Gilmore
Communication Services

Each summer at Eastern there are about 20 student-hire students who paint the residence halls and the academic offices for the Physical Plant.
Lewis Reeves, director of the Physical Plant, says, “It gives students a summer job and teaches them a trade other than what they go to school for. It also benefits the University.”

The paint crew started at West Campus and are now working in Chaves and Bernalillo Halls.

There are a variety of students. Derrick Hayden, a senior football player from Laporte, Texas says, “It’s a way to make money and pay the bills without having to go home for the summer.” This is Derrick's second year to be part of the paint crew.

Another student painter is freshman Araim Perez from Lubbock. His older brother, Andy Perez, is a painter and influenced Araim to apply for the job. Arain says, “It is really convenient and I would rather stay and work here in the summer.”

Mr. Reeves says, “Most of the time we get the same painters back each summer until they graduate. They become pretty good by the time we lose them."

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.

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.

A freshman Media Arts major at ENMU-Roswell has been chosen to receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Coca Cola Scholars Foundation. Christopher Meeks is among 400 recipients nationwide who are being recognized for their academic success and record of community service within the past 12 months. Meeks, 18, is pursuing an Associate of Applied Science degree in Graphic Design. He is a graduate of Roswell High School.

Through the Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship Program, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation awards a total of 400 scholarships annually to students attending higher education institutions granting two-year degrees. In April, one scholar from each state received a $2,000 scholarship from Coca-Cola through the New Century Scholar Program of the American Association of Community Colleges and Phi Theta Kappa, the two year college scholastic honorary organization. On June 21, an additional 350 students were awarded a $1,000 scholarship.

“The Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship Program gives support and encouragement to an under-served population of students,” said J. Mark Davis, President of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. “This program is an extension of our long-standing commitment to college education throughout the United States. These fine students, who often juggle school, work, and family, continue to give back to their communities through volunteer service.”

The Coca-Cola Two-Year College Scholarship Program is made possible with funding from the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation. The Whitehead Foundation provides grants in support of human services initiatives, particularly organizations and programs that benefit young people. The late Joseph B. Whitehead was one of the original bottlers of Coca-Cola.

The Two-Year Colleges Scholarship Program complements the Foundation’s Coca-Cola Scholars Program, which awards more than $1.8 million annually in college scholarships to 250 outstanding high school seniors. The Coca-Cola Scholars Program is one of the most recognized and respected corporate-sponsored scholarships in America.

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation was created in 1986 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Coca-Cola and to establish a legacy for the education of tomorrow’s leaders. Now in its sixth year of funding the Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship Program, the Foundation has provided nearly $2.5 million in scholarship awards to students attending two-year degree granting institutions and more than $26.8 million towards the Coca-Cola Scholars Program during the past 17 years.

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.
