ENMU Women Invited to Fall Breakfast – ENMU Women invites any woman associated with the University as a member of the faculty or staff, the wife of faculty or staff, or a current or past student to their annual Fall Breakfast (cost is free). This year’s breakfast will be held at Dr. Gamble’s home (1600 W. Cherry) on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 9:30 am. Activities will include electing new officers, discussing the coming year’s activities and drawing for door prizes.

For those not familiar with ENMU Women, the organization began some 70 years ago by a group of faculty wives who called themselves the Faculty Dames. They saw it as a way of getting to know other women and benefiting the university. To this day that goal has not changed and ENMU Women stands as one of the last remaining organizations of its kind in America. Almost from the beginning, the organization has been making small no-interest loans to students to help out in crisis situations. A few years ago, ENMU Women began offering scholarships to non-traditional female students.

Membership is easy and painless: it only costs $5 for new members and $15 for continuing members and there are only two official meetings per year: the Fall Breakfast and the Spring Lunch. Activities available for members include: delivering Meals on Wheels; getting decorating ideas and eating a delicious meal at "Holiday Happenings" hosted by Altrusa; maintaining the Memorial Garden to the victims of the September 11 attacks; the Lovers’ for Learning Scholarship Dinner and Auction; enjoying good food and conversation with the “Dining Around” Gourmet Group; the We’re Back Party in the spring; the Whirlwind Tours to Christmas on the Pecos in Carlsbad; and other events to get involved in if you choose.

For more information, call Belinda Hilliard at 2511.

Over 60 professional and collegiate singers from around the world participated in the program, including singers on the rosters of the Metropolitan Opera and Deutsche Opera, as well as students from both the undergraduate and graduate programs of The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes, Boston University and Northwestern University.

Joining Mrs. Paulk on the faculty were Sherrill Milnes, Tito Capobianco (former director at NYC Opera), Jennifer Larmore (mezzo-soprano), Maria Spacagna (soprano), Trish McCaffrey (vocal coach at the Metropolitan Opera), and Eric Dillner (director, Shreveport Opera).

Next Film Human Rights Film Series Set for September 11 – The next film in the Human Rights Film Series is “Sir! No Sir!” at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11, in the Sandia Room of the CUB.

It was the winner for Best Documentary at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The film’s Website is: http://www.sirnosir.com/

The following description was provided by ENMU professor Doug Morris: “If you ever wanted to end a war…'Sir! No Sir!', a stirring, instructive and inspiring film about challenging power, questioning authority, thinking critically, risking life, great courage, the horrors of war, protecting the innocent, the power of exposing the truth, solidarity, and the struggle for peace, justice and humanity during a period of aggression, war, government lies and deception, mass killing, and vast inhumanity. 'Sir! No Sir!' examines a crucial part of U.S. history, highly relevant today, that has been suppressed: the wide-ranging resistance and protest movement organized inside the U.S. military to stop the U.S. attacks on Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The Boston Globe said, “[David] Zeigler’s movie is a timely salute to the risky and brave men and women who had the temerity to not only think for themselves but to speak their minds.”

The film will be followed by discussion. For more information, contact: doug.morris@enmu.edu, ext. 2207.

(from e-mail to Dr. John Montgomery)

Colin Ferriman is scheduled for his initial performance review (three months) in another week or so and I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for referring him. He has done extremely well and is clearly on the fast-track for promotion. Colin’s responsible attitude, friendly nature, and technical competence are all highly notable.

The ENMU graduates I have had the pleasure of employing over the years have all proven to be exemplary – a credit to your program as well as the individuals themselves. Both Michael Kyte and Colin Ferriman are excellent ambassadors for your department. I hope you will continue to keep me in mind for any future students that you think might survive and even thrive in the rough-and-tumble world of CRM.

I am presently hiring more temporary field crew members, so if you have students that would be interested in a few months of work in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and/or Utah I hope you will send them my direction.

Thanks very much.

Ginger's Safety Tip of the Month

Small changes make a big difference in eliminating ergonomic hazards.

You need to be kind to your eyes. Avoid glare with matte finishes or indirect lighting. Locate commonly used displays (screens, etc.) at or slightly below eye level. Easy does it when typing. Keep your wrists in a neutral position and strike keys lightly. Have a seat, but make sure it's adjusted properly to avoid back pain. Reduce the amount of time spent standing on hard surfaces. Anti-fatigue mats are a good choice.

If you can, reduce the amount of physical effort needed to complete a task or maintain control of equipment. Get a handle on tool safety. Provide tools with cushioned grips and optimize the handle size to accommodate the user and the task. Automate highly repetitive tasks whenever possible. If you can't, provide short breaks, let the worker control the pace, increase the variety of tasks, or provide job rotation.

Use carts to move heavy loads. Pushing is preferable to pulling. Take a look around. Periodic worksite analyses can uncover ergonomic problems before they lead to injuries.
