Hispanic Affairs Banquet Set for Tuesday, May 3 – The Hispanic Affairs Banquet at Eastern New Mexico University will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, in the Campus Union Ballroom. According to ENMU Hispanic Affairs director Nancy I. Varelas, the banquet is for celebrating Cinco de Mayo ("El día de la Batalla de Puebla"), a Mexican celebration.

The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexicans over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually Sept. 16.

"We are also celebrating the diversity of Hispanics at ENMU and in general," Ms. Varelas added. There will be several Spanish speaking countries represented at the banquet. "Also during this banquet we take the opportunity to recognize outstanding Hispanic students as well as outstanding faculty and staff who have made a difference in the lives of Hispanic students," said Ms. Varelas.

Another important part of this year's banquet is a special Memorial Scholarship presentation in the name of Mónica Martínez, an ENMU student who passed away in an automobile accident.

The entertainment is being provided by California's "Cascada de Flores," which is an expression of Mexican and Cuban folklore, and ENMU's Ballet Folklorico-BIDA will be performing as well.

Banquet tickets are $15. For more information, call Hispanic Affairs at 562.2451.

Award-Winning Nashville Christian Country Recording Artist Speaking and Singing at ENMU on Wednesday, May 4 – Peter Lewis Whitebird, an award- winning Christian country singer, is coming to Eastern New Mexico University on Wednesday, May 4, at 12 noon to perform and give a motivational talk to students on the Dallan Sanders Memorial Patio in front of the CUB. “The event is aimed to motivate and persuade students that they can get up and succeed at what they want to do,” says Martie Watson, activity coordinator, Title V Cooperative, one of the groups sponsoring the event.

“We are co-sponsoring the event with Native American Affairs as a multi-cultural event.” Whitebird, who is a Native American Chippewa Indian from Topeka, Kansas, didn’t have it easy going through life. He had a rough childhood, with a dad who was an alcoholic,” says Ms. Watson. The native Kansasan in his career has six #1 hits and will be singing from 12 noon until 1 p.m., then give his motivational talk from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. Whitebird will then perform his comical stand-up act called Bubba. “Peter turns around and changes his clothes on stage; if you didn’t see him change you wouldn’t know it was him. His act includes clean redneck-like jokes as well,” says Ms. Watson.

For more information, contact Ms. Watson at 562.2212 or Martie.Watson@enmu.edu.

ENMU Included in National Science Foundation Grant – The National Science Foundation announced this week that the New Mexico EPSCoR (Experimental Program for Stimulate Competitive Research) renewal grant application has been funded. The grant is a renewal of the program initiated in New Mexico in 2002-05. The new grant provides estimated funding to New Mexico universities in the amount of $6,750,000 over the 2005-8 (three- year) period. The purpose of the EPSCoR grant program is to build research infrastructure in states where limited research funding has been obtained in the past. The intent is to improve the quality of the research enterprise in a state, and to increase competitiveness for federal funding.

The current grant includes funding for Eastern New Mexico University to build research infrastructure in physical sciences and biology programs.

Dr. Robert Long is the coordinator at ENMU for the EPSCoR focus area in nanomaterials for energy applications. This focus area is receiving $191,000 in funding over the next three years. The funding is intended to support start-up of research by Dr. Long and colleague Dr. Juchao Yan. The focus of their research will be on developing novel new nanostructured membrane materials for applications involving fuel cells, sensors, and/or filtration. The funding will also help build collaborations with researchers in the same area at the major New Mexico research universities and national laboratories. There is additional funding to support educational programs about nanotechnology (a strategic national and state priority) and hydrology.

Dr. Darren Pollock is the coordinator at ENMU for the EPSCoR focus area in natural resources, particularly biodiversity. This focus area received significant funding in the previous grant and is receiving some additional funding in the first year of the grant renewal, in order to complete infrastructure development in progress. The primary focus was, and will be, the ENMU Natural History Museum. Specimens will be indentified, curated, databased and georeferenced. The resulting data will be shared through the “Institute of Natural Resources Analysis and Management,” a consortium which was created several years ago.

Four Hours Off on May 27 – Governor Richardson asked all state agencies to give employees four hours off work in memory of Pope John Paul II.

Those hours will be taken on Friday, May 27, from 1-5 p.m. However, all offices that provide direct services to students need to remain open. Those employees will be allowed to take the four hours off at another time with approval of their supervisors. Any employee who already observed those hours will be expected to be at work.

All offices should check with their vice presidents to see if their office needs to remain open.

Nelson, born in 1933 in Abbott, Texas, has recorded over 200 albums, appeared in several movies, been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and received the prestigious Kennedy Center honor for preemininent performing artists. He is also known for Farm Aid, an annual concert which raises money and awareness for American family farmers.

Nelson’s latest CD is “Milk Cow Blues.” It combines the talents of Nelson, an array of special guests, and the cream of the Austin, Texas, blues community. Guest stars include B.B. King, Dr. John, young singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi, Keb' Mo', Francine Reed (who usually duets with Nelson's fellow Texan, Lyle Lovett), and blues prodigies Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

Legendary singer/songwriter Billy Joe Shaver will open the show. Shaver wrote all but one of the songs on Waylon Jennings' "Honk Tonk Heroes" album which started the outlaw stage of country music in the '70's. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Billy Joe Shaver and David Allan Coe were considered the outlaws of country music. Shaver's songs have been recorded by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, The Highwaymen, The Allman Brothers Band, Kris Kristofferson, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Ely, Robert Earl Keen, Johnny Rodriquez and many others.

For more information on the concert, call 505.562.2631.

This is the tenth year that the Legislative Council Service has administered the program. The opportunity is for two applicants to work in the New Mexico Legislature, one of the interns is assigned to the Legislative Council Service and one to the Legislative Finance Committee.

The purpose of the Legislative Internship Program is to educate interested students about the state legislature and to provide practical experience in the performance of day-to-day staff work for New Mexico's citizen-legislature. Interns will provide staff support to interim legislative committees that study the criminal justice system, governmental ethics, election issues, tax policy and planning, Indian affairs, health care, welfare reform and scientific and technological developments. Work performed by interns may include research, issues analyses, speech writing and helping to organize interim legislative committee meetings.

Each intern will receive a stipend of $9,000, paid in bi-weekly installments, and will be reimbursed for expenses incurred while traveling with interim legislative committees. The internships will be full time and will last from July 1 through December 31, 2004. An intern's day will commence at 8:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. Interns will be responsible for making their own housing arrangements. The Legislative Council Service cautions applicants that housing in or near Santa Fe may be a problem. Attempts are made to assist interns with housing, but no convenient and affordable housing arrangements are certain.

All applicants must be full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates at one of the six state universities. Students receiving undergraduate degrees in May 2005 are eligible for the program.

Applicants for the internships must submit a cover letter, or an accompanying essay of no more than 500 words, explaining why the applicant is seeking the internship; a resume; and a transcript (an unofficial copy will suffice) of college courses.
