Amahl and the Night Visitors Being Presented on December 2-4
by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

Amahl and the Night Visitors returns to Eastern after 17 years. Directed by Dr. Roberto Mancusi, assistant professor of voice, this Christmas opera is a favorite of the faculty and members of the surrounding community.

It will be presented on Friday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 3, at 2 p.m. (special show for families with small children), Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. (special show with faculty and community members in the lead roles), and Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2 p.m.

Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 students under 18, and $4 ENMU students.

“While we were still discussing whether or not to do the production, people in the community got wind of it and were very excited it was coming back,” said Dr. Mancusi. “This makes it a homecoming of sorts.”

It is easy to see why the opera is a favorite. It is the story of a poor widow and her crippled son, Amahl, who are visited one night by the Three Kings who are on their way to see the baby Jesus. The kings stop by Amahl's house and ask for shelter for the night. The events of that evening are the story of the opera.

The cast of this production is rather unique because it is made up of students and faculty. Dr. Mancusi says this is a great way for students to benefit from working with faculty members who have been part of the production in the past.

Dr. Mancusi says that part of the production’s charm is that the setting is very intimate. Taking place in Buchanan Hall with only one set, the opera is about 50 minutes long.

According to Dr. Mancusi, Gian Carlo Menotti originally wrote the piece for television. The story was inspired by a painting by Hieronymus Bosch, in which the Three Kings are depicted offering their gifts to the Christ child and the Mother Mary. When the story was aired on NBC in 1951, only the most privileged families had televisions in their homes. It has been speculated that Menotti tells the story about Amahl’s poverty-stricken family through musical numbers like “All That Gold” in an effort to subtly remind the upper class of the time that there were less fortunate people all around them.

Dr. Mancusi is looking forward to the production. “Comedy, tragedy, and a Christmas miracle make this a wonderful way to start the holiday season.”

For ticket information, call 562.2371 or 562.2561, or e-mail Roberto.mancusi@enmu.edu.

Employee Briefs

Dr. Lee E. Weyant, associate professor of management, received confirmation his paper "Face-to-face versus web based instruction: An exploratory study of the differences in an undergraduate management course" has been accepted for presentation at the 2006 Midwest Business Administration Association conference in Chicago.

Dr. Ollie Oviedo’s edited collection (with Joyce Walker, University of South Florida, and Byron Hawk, George Mason University), "Digital Tools in Composition Studies: Critical Dimensions and Implications," has been accepted for publication by Hampton Press of New Jersey. The 360-page book (in hardcover and paperback editions) takes as its theme a variety of perspectives on the ways that digital tools are taken up by teachers and researchers within the field of composition studies. It contains analyses of a wide range of digital tools, including tools which have entered into common use, such as word-processors, and others that have been more recently developed, such as weblogs, wikis, and aural-digital tools. The examination of these tools considers their cultural, political, historical, and economic locations, while simultaneously considering their effects on various composing processes, both inside of and beyond the confines of academia.

Also, Dr. Oviedo presented a paper on computers and writing at the Computers and Writing Conference at Stanford University in summer 2005. (Dr. Oviedo is an associate professor of English, now in his 17th year at ENMU. His Ph.D. in Comparative Literature is from New York University.)

Open Enrollment for the Medical Leave Bank through November 30

Medical Leave Bank Policies Explained

What is the Medical Leave Bank?

The medical leave bank is a pool of hours to which any regular employee who earns medical and/or annual leave may donate some of their accumulated leave hours. The purpose of the medical leave bank is to provide medical leave to contributors who have suffered an unplanned personal illness, injury, disability or quarantine and who have exhausted their compensatory time and medical and annual leave balances.

Who is eligible to join?

Any regular ENMU employee who earns medical and annual leave and has a current medical leave balance of at least six days (hours are prorated for part-time employees) as of September 30, 2005, is eligible to participate in the Bank.

How much do I have to contribute?

Initial contribution is three days if you work full-time; hours are prorated if you work part-time. With prior written notice, the medical leave bank committee may request additional hours from the membership if the hours in the bank fall below one day per member.

Who makes decisions on request for time from the bank?

The medical leave bank is administered by a five-member committee appointed by the President to review requests for withdrawal of medical leave from the bank.

How do I enroll?

The medical leave bank policy, enrollment and request forms are available from the office of Personnel Services, Administration Building, Room 207, or by calling the office at 562.2115. Return completed form to Personnel Services, Station 21, by Nov. 30. Members who have been in the Medical Leave Bank for 30 calendar days are eligible to apply for days from the Bank.

Note: If you are already in the Bank, additional contributions are not needed unless notified by the committee.

Computing
Excel series – Quickly change the zoom setting in Excel worksheets
Although you typically use the wheel found on the top of the mouse to vertically scroll thru a worksheet (if your mouse has one), you can also use it to change a worksheet’s zoom setting. To do so hold down the [Ctrl] key as you move the scroll wheel. Rolling the wheel down decreases the zoom percentage and rolling up increases the percentage.

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 4632 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 4400. If either one is not displaying the above versions, click on the red “V” again with the right mouse button, then choose “Update Now” in the pull-down box. This will open a dialogue box displaying the status of the update process. Once complete, close the dialogue box and rerun the “About VirusScan Enterprise” option as described above. If the version is not at or greater than the one above, please contact the Helpdesk at 562.4357 for assistance.
