Vice President for Academic Affairs Retiring
by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

Dr. K. Paul Jones, vice president for Academic Affairs, will soon be moving to Santa Fe after his July retirement.

Dr. Jones came to Eastern from the University of Tennessee at Martin, where he spent the bulk of his career in various positions from professor of history to different administrative positions. Dr. Jones chuckles when he reflects about coming to Portales. "I came to Eastern from a university located in a town of approximately 10,000 people, and only a few miles away from the neighboring state line. Sound familiar?"

Dr. Jones began his higher education at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. He graduated in 1959 with a bachelor of arts in history and government. It was also there that he met his wife, Keytha, whom he married in October of 1958. Dr. Jones says with a smile, "I did a very smart thing. I married her on her birthday; that way I am assured not to forget either one."

Dr. Jones continued his education at Columbia University, attending the School of International Affairs. Upon beginning college, Dr. Jones intended to become an attorney. He first majored in English, then changed to history and government, still intending to work toward a law degree. However, courses in international relations and European history interested him so much he decided to teach.

Because of his master's degree in international affairs, he considered a career in Foreign Service, but decided to teach at the college level instead. He attended school on a fellowship, but says that a fellowship, while very helpful and much needed, was not enough with a growing family. "My wife took a position while I was earning my master's degree," Dr. Jones says. "I like to tell people I earned my degrees by the sweat of my frau."

In 1961 Dr. Jones took a position at Mansfield College in Pennsylvania teaching European history. He remained there for four years, leaving to pursue his doctorate.

Dr. Jones earned his 1970 doctorate in European history at the University of Wisconsin. It was then he began his 30-year career at
University of Tennessee at Martin. He began as a full-time faculty member and then moved into part-time administration. "Looking back, it's ironic. Earlier in my career I worked for the Higher Education Administration while in Wisconsin, and had decided that I was not interested in administration. I wanted to teach," says Dr. Jones.

One of Dr. Jones' favorite experiences was teaching history on a Fulbright Scholarship at the Johannes Guttenberg University at Mainz,
Germany, for one year in 1974-75. "It was a great experience; I wish I could have stayed longer," he says.

Though Dr. Jones did continue to teach for a number of years, he gradually worked his way into full-time administration. He spent 12
years as the Assistant and then Associate Vice President of Curriculum and Assessment. This position came to include the responsibilities of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Director of Institutional Research. His last two years at the University of Tennessee he served one year as Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs and the other year as the Interim Dean of Arts and Sciences.

In August of 2000, Dr. Jones joined the Eastern family and has enjoyed his position here as vice president for Academic Affairs. Living in New Mexico appealed to him, in part due to the fact that he has an identical twin brother who also lives in the state. He has found
satisfaction working at ENMU because, "This position is a way to facilitate the learning process through the deans and department chairs."

Dr. and Mrs. Jones are retiring to Santa Fe, where they look forward to many things, including more time with family. Of his future plans, he says, "I don't want a second career. Perhaps I will research and write, or be a docent for a museum. I would like to do something along those lines; perhaps a professional level tour guide, but only on a volunteer basis."

Local Teams Get Ready for ENMU 2005 Basketball Camps
by Shelley Gilmore
Communication Services

The Eastern New Mexico University 2005 Basketball Camps will be held June 12-25 in Greyhound Arena. About 90 teams are expected to participate, with a maximum of 24 teams per camp.

There will be four camps. Large school varsity boys will be held June 12-15; small school boys on June 19-22; large school varsity girls on June 15-18; and small school varsity girls on June 22-25.

The camp director is ENMU head coach Shawn Scanlan, in his fifth season at Eastern.

A number of local teams are looking forward to competing.

Portales Rams head coach Mark Gallegos says, “It is important to play in this camp for four days together so we can see the things we need to improve on. The team camp simulates a whole season in four days and helps us improve as a team and individually.”

Coach Gallegos will bring three teams to this summer’s camp. A varsity team, junior varsity team and a 9th grade team.

Another team participating is Elida. Tigers’ head coach Darrell Chenault says, “It’s four days of exhausting, extremely painful, yet basketball heaven. Coaches love it and the kids love it.”

Other local teams participating include the Floyd Bronchos, the Dora Coyotes, the Texico Wolverines, the Ft. Sumner Foxes and Vixens, among others.

Teams also travel to the camp from the Panhandle area of Texas, as well as from throughout New Mexico.

Teams will play 15 or 16 games in four days, including a Camp Tournament. The camps give teams a chance to work on individual and team skills, with different skills emphasized each day.

Registration will be held from 4-5:30 p.m. in the lobby of Lincoln Hall for boys or Bernalillo Hall for girls on the first day of each camp.

Following the registration, the opening session of each camp will be held inside Greyhound Arena at 6 p.m.

Faculty Describe Internal Grant Projects

A number of faculty have received internal grants from ENMU to further research projects. The Monday Memo will spotlight these projects in detail over the next few issues. Today, we hear from Dr. Greg Keller, assistant professor of biology, on his project: Nearctic-Neotropical Migratory Songbirds as an Index to Habitat Quality

"Many Nearctic-Neotropical songbirds (birds that breed in North America and winter in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the West Indies) are experiencing long-term population declines in North America. These declines have been associated with habitat fragmentation, the reduction in the amount of forest through road construction, suburban development, agricultural development, and timber harvesting, on both the breeding and wintering grounds.

" However, responses to habitat fragmentation by songbirds during the migratory period are poorly understood. Exploring foraging behavior of migrants could help conservation biologists quantify overall habitat quality as it affects population declines of migratory songbirds. I will conduct counts of songbirds in wooded habitats in eastern New Mexico for five migratory warbler species (MacGillivray’s, Wilson’s, yellow-rumped, orange-crowned, and yellow) during spring and fall migration within three habitat types: 1) natural cottonwood and elm patches; 2) invasive salt cedar patches; and 3) residential wooded habitats dominated by cottonwoods and elms.

" I will determine relative abundance of the five species and perform observations on their foraging behaviors to determine differences among habitat types. Information from this study will be valuable to elucidate differences among species and habitats during migration to help in overall conservation of songbirds. Understanding how their foraging behavior is influenced by habitat quality will allow us to predict habitat that are best or worst for songbirds during migration."

ENMU Graduate Thanks Dr. Marvin Lutnesky for His Career Help

Editor's Note: The following e-mail was sent to Dr. Marvin Lutnesky, professor of biology, from ENMU graduate Tim Frey.

Marv,

I wanted to let you know of my current positional change. As is shown below, I am the new BLM fisheries biologist for the southern half of New Mexico, and that includes Portales! I'm very excited by this promotion and can't wait to get started.

I want to thank you for all that you've done for me to help me in my endeavors. None of this could've been possible without your help, encouragement, advice and understanding. Given the broad area and many issues I'll be responsible for, I want to let you know that any advice, suggestions or ideas you can pass on will be greatly appreciated. And of course anything I can help you with will be gladly given.

Again, thanks 'Doc', for everything.

An Interview with Roland Barth: About Lessons Learned
by Drs. Jerry Everhart and Michael F. Shaughnessy
Eastern New Mexico University

Editor's Note; The following interview with well-known education expert Roland S. Barth was conducted by ENMU professors Drs. Jerry Everhart and Michael Shaughnessy and appeared in EducationNews.org.

Roland S. Barth is a well known consultant to schools, school systems, universities, state Departments of Education, foundations and businesses both in the United States and abroad. He received his AB degree from Princeton University and both master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University. He has served as a public school teacher and principal for fifteen years in Massachusetts, Connecticut and California. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1976 and joined the faculty at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for thirteen years. He serves as Chairman of the Board of the Principal Residency Network and a member of the Board of Educational Advisors of the Phi Delta Kappan. He is the author of Open Education and the American School, Run School Run, Improving Schools From Within, Learning by Heart, Cruising Rules : Relationships at Sea and most recently Lessons Learned : Shaping Relationships and the Culture of the Workplace published by Corwin Press. In this interview, he discusses his current ideas and reflects on things that are often not discussed in the schools and the impact of the recent legislative mandates regarding education.

JE/MS: What are you currently working on/writing/researching?

RB: The knowledge base for my writing and research rests largely with conversations that I have with school practitioners. This involves visiting schools from time to time and conducting interactive workshops … events where I talk but also try and listen. So it’s unusual “research.” But I do feel that I have a finger on the pulse of public education in this country through these many interactions with teachers and administrators.I have just completed a little book, Lessons Learned. I’ve talked a lot and written about the importance of craft knowledge in our profession. That is to say, what we learn and know by showing up on the job for 220 days a year for 5, 10, 15 years. What we learn about parent involvement, staff development, curriculum development, discipline or whatever.

Unfortunately, I find that this craft knowledge is not widely valued by those outside of schools like superintendents or state departments of education. Even more tragically, it’s not widely valued by those inside schools. So the teacher who stands up in a faculty meeting and says “I have this great idea to share about grouping kids in math,” is frequently met with dirty looks, people putting their coats on, or making put-downs such as “Who do you think you are?”

But, I continue to believe that if educators could develop ways of sharing, celebrating, honoring and exchanging craft knowledge, schools could be transformed overnight. There resides under the roof of every schoolhouse a tremendous body of insight and wisdom. But, by and large it’s not disclosed for a couple of reasons.

One reason is that the cruel world of schools places educators in the role of competitors for scarce resources and recognition. I give you some good ideas about improving kids in math, more parents may want their kids in your class than mine.

As I’ve said, craft knowledge is not often shared because it’s not received with a great deal of welcome by one’s colleagues. Yet every June thousands of teachers and administrators will leave schools to retire, resign, transfer, or die. They will carry out of the school with them all the hard won craft knowledge they have accumulated in the school of hard knocks over many, many years. It will be forever lost to the profession.

This is a tragic loss to the profession. The literature from adult development suggests that when people get to be about my age, 65, there’s a need to give back to share with those up-and-coming everything that we have learned ourselves. So when there is no structure or format for this to occur in schools, there’s a loss—not only to the school—but also to the educator whose craft knowledge will not be disclosed. Lessons Learned is then my attempt to distill and to share my craft knowledge before I “walk out of the schoolhouse.” [more]

ENMU Out-Sourcing Long-Distance Billing Services – ENMU has outsourced the telephone long distance monthly billing to Resicom Corporation for the past three years, but the contract will expire on June 30. As of June 26, the ITS/Telecom Department will use a new billing system. The long distance access codes that you currently use will not change.

The ITS/Telecom Department is striving to make the transition to the new system as smooth as possible by matching the way the billing information is accessed as close to the old system as possible. However, before the procedure can be set up, this office must know who will be responsible for downloading and printing the monthly telephone call detail reports. Please determine who will be given the username and password for your department and send the information to Linda Hamrick at Station #15 no later than June 10. These people will be given a username and password allowing them to go online, review and print all the phone bills under one department (index and billing number, i.e. PTCOM 70200). More information and all instructions will be distributed at a later date.

Please direct all questions to Linda Hamrick at extension 2287.

Mid-Year Evaluations – The mid-year employee evaluations for professional and support staff are due by June 30.

Reminder for Campus Departments About Inventory Sheets – The 2005 Physical Inventory sheets are due back to Inventory no later than June 15. Please direct any correspondence to David Moon at 562.2606 or David.Moon@enmu.edu.

Bioinformatics Course Offered at ENMU – Eastern is offering an “Introduction to Bioinformatics and Computational Biology” course during the first 4-week summer session. The course will be team-taught at the senior/graduate level. There is currently a shortage of people with training in Bioinformatics. This course would be helpful in getting a job after graduation. There are no prerequisites for this class but fundamental courses in algebra, biology, and computer science would be helpful. The main topics to be covered include biological chemistry, molecular biology, phylogenetics, systematics, computer programming and computational biology/math. Students will be taught to construct and interpret phylogenetic trees, perform sequence database searches, sequence comparisons and analyses, construct and interpret multiple sequence alignments, fundamentals of computer programming (Java) and to use computers to perform 3-D protein structural analyses. Seating is limited, so register early. For more information, contact Dr. Manuel Varela at 562.2464 in Roosevelt Hall 101.

Update on Coordinator of Grant Activities – A new search has begun for a Coordinator of Grant Activities. In the interim the duties of the Grant and Contract Management office has been reassigned as follows:

Pre-award external grant activities will be the responsibility of the Office of Planning and Analysis, Station 2, Administration Building, Room 204, ext. 2315.

Post-award external grant activities will be the responsibility of the grant accountant in the Business Office, Station 4, Administration Building, Room 114, ext. 2604.

The following responsibilities will be reassigned on a permanent basis to Academic Affairs, with the same effective date.

Support for the Human Subjects and Animal Care Committees will be the responsibility of the graduate dean, Station 24, Administration Building, Room 216, ext. 2147.

Support for Internal Instructional and Research Grants will be the responsibility of the vice president for Academic Affairs, Station 2, Administration Building, Room 204, ext. 2312.

Message from President Regarding Realignments – After reviewing the comments that were expressed by faculty and staff regarding the realignment proposed in the e-mail dated April 19, 2005, 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

Carlsbad Native Receives Award at ENMU
by Marc Schoder
Communication Services

Eastern New Mexico University student Colita Hagar, daughter of Kathy Woolard of Carlsbad, recently received an award for being a Student Employee of the Year at ENMU.

The 2003 Carlsbad High School graduate says, “I was real surprised when I first learned of it; I didn’t think I deserved such an honor,” says Colita. “I received an invitation to the banquet a couple of weeks before and didn’t have any idea.”

Colita's responsibilities include answering the University Switchboard, distributing news releases, responding to phone and e-mail visitors’ inquiries, and helping in-person visitors.

Colita's supervisor, Betsy Chavez, University Information Coordinator, said that Colita is a very dependable student employee who goes out of her way to get the job done. “I remember when I first got her name two years ago from Alumni Affairs, I called her to discuss the position and remember that I liked how she answered the phone,” says Betsy. “Newer student employees look to her for guidance when no supervisor is around because of her longevity in the position.”

Betsy says that Colita is a delight to work with and has proven that she can do the job in the two years she has worked as a student hire employee for the University. “I wish we had a dozen more like her,” says Betsy.

Colita of her future plans, “After I get my bachelor’s in communicative disorders from ENMU, I will be getting married and going off to graduate school at Texas Tech in Lubbock for my master’s in the same emphasis. I’ve really learned a lot at Eastern and am very grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to gain experience as a student employee.”

Higher Learning Magazine Accepting Submissions

Higher Learning Magazine is currently accepting submissions (in the form of press releases, completed articles or news briefs, and story ideas) for its September/October 2005 issue. 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. The worlds of teaching and learning are quickly evolving, pushed by rapid technological change. 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 – Word Count Toolbar
As many of us know, having to manually check the word count in your document can cut into your typing time. To get rid of this pesky problem, use this easy shortcut: Go to View, Toolbars, and select Word Count. Drag the floating toolbar to the right side of your existing toolbar so that it remains at the top of your screen. You can resize the window that displays the number of words by choosing Tools, Customize, and Toolbars resizing the window while the Customize dialog box is open. You can periodically update the count by clicking on the Recount button.

Outlook series – System Administrator - Your Mailbox is over its Size Limit!!!!
This seems to pop up quite a bit, and is a never-ending problem. There are several reasons why:
1. If you don’t need it, delete it. Be reasonable about keeping too much information.
2. Empty your deleted items folder often; many are set up to automatically delete upon exit.
3. Don't forget about deleting messages from your Sent Items as well.
4. Archive your Inbox to your file server or hard drive.
These simple tips can eliminate this problem all together.

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 4503 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.
