ENMU-Ruidoso Seeking KEDU Radio Station

Dr. Mike Elrod, ENMU-Ruidoso provost, has announced that he has entered into preliminary negotiations with Fort Stanton Inc. to transfer KEDU’s FCC license to ENMU-Ruidoso and acquire the radio station assets. “We have agreed in principal to the conditions of acquiring the radio station.”

Elrod stated that he is requesting financial assistance from area legislators to purchase the station assets. “I have requested $125,000 from state Capital Outlay funds to purchase the equipment. The funds, if approved during the 2006 legislative session, will also allow the college to professionally engineer and install the equipment.

“I am excited about the professional career training possibilities for our students and think an all volunteer, student run educational radio station would be of tremendous benefit for the entire community.”

According to the Federal Communications Commission, KEDU’s Low Power FM (LPFM) license is authorized for noncommercial educational broadcasting only and is limited to operating at 100 watts or less. The approximate service range of a 100 watt LPFM is a 3.5 mile radius.

Elrod stressed that “the transfer of the license and acquisition of the radio station assets is far from being complete; however, should the opportunity become a reality, (upon approval of the legislature and the governor), the station could be up and running by late summer.”

“In conversations with Tony Hoffman, President of Fort Stanton Inc., various community leaders, and KWES and MTD radio representatives, I have pledged to them we will provide high quality educational programming for the residents of Ruidoso and our neighbors in Mescalero.” “Our goals include offering students a high quality broadcast communications program, producing local educational programming, and providing public service announcements.”

“Ongoing operational costs will be supported in part by college funds supplemented with donations from corporate and community sponsors.” “Elrod emphasized that we will operate much like any university student run radio station and not be in competition with local commercial radio stations.” “We will call upon community volunteers and the talents of ENMU-Ruidoso students to operate, produce and broadcast a wide array of educational and community service programs.”

For more information, call Elrod at 505.257.2120.

Library Keeping Later Hours – Based on the library survey comments and requests, we have made arrangements to keep Golden Library open until midnight Sunday-Thursday. If the traffic shows that this is a valuable and needed change, it will become a permanent schedule change. If, after a year's evaluation, the use does not justify the expanded hours, the schedule will revert to the present schedule. – Melveta Walker

New Mexico Public School Textbooks Available for Public Review at ENMU

Teachers, parents, and other community members are invited to review and comment on the proposed Science and Health textbooks approved for adoption by the State of New Mexico's Department of Education Instructional Material Bureau.

The new Science and Health textbooks are currently available for examination at the Instructional Resource Center (IRC) located at Eastern New Mexico University's Golden Library. The IRC is located on the second floor of Golden Library and is open on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 10-13. Starting Jan. 17, 2006 IRC hours are 8 a.m. to midnight.

New Mexico follows a six-year cycle in approving textbooks for each subject area for use in the public schools. These new textbooks are for use in all New Mexico public schools for the next six years.

New Mexico is one of 22 states with an instructional material adoption process. Pursuant to state law [22-15-1 to 22-15-14 NMSA 1978], the State Board of Education (SBE) annually approves an extensive list of instructional material made available to educators and students. By its own regulation, the SBE defines how this process is implemented, and the Instructional Material Bureau carries out the Board's directives.

For more information on the Science and Health textbooks or adoption process, call Vickie Linthicum at 505.562.2258.

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 4642 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.
