	Thanks to the dedication of the staff of the Purchasing Department, a wild animal was recently trapped humanely, and released back into the wild kingdom of Eastern's campus. The little guy enjoyed the comforts of the department's copier room until he decided to munch on dry oats and grass. The Purchasing Department and Sir Squirrel wish to thank Dr. Anthony Gennaro for his expert advice, and Ginger Creighton and James Chacon for furnishing a means to capture the little fellow.
Rebecca Ingram, summer work-study for Purchasing, drove and then released the escapee from squirrel stew into the ENMU wilds.

I also work on campus for Information Technology Services. Q. Where did you grow up, and tell us about your family? A. I grew up in Clovis. After getting a degree in retail marketing, I moved around – Lubbock, Texas, and and Colorado. Then I received a degree in sound tech from South Plains College in Levelland, Texas.

President Gamble and Regent President Gurley Speak at Roswell Dedication

President Gamble and and (far right) Board of Regents president Jay Gurley spoke on Thursday at the ENMU-Roswell re-naming ceremony of the Occupational Technology Center to the (center) Lawrence C. Harris Occupational Technology Center. (second from left) ENMU-Roswell provost Judy Armstrong also spoke. (story and photos by Donna Oracion)

For the first time in campus history, a building at Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell has been named in honor of an individual. That individual is Lawrence C. Harris. On Thursday campus and community leaders gathered in a ceremony to officially rename the Occupational Technology Center the Lawrence C. Harris Occupational Technology Center and dedicate the building in Harris’s honor.

Harris, celebrating his 89th birthday, attended the ceremony with a number of family members. He said he was grateful for the recognition. “I’ve worked with many people over the years who deserve a lot of the credit, but it’s gratifying to be involved with this institution and its growth,” Harris thanked Dr. Steve Gamble, ENMU President, for his support of the Roswell campus and said there are now new opportunities for growth.

A prominent Roswell oilman for over 50 years, Harris has been a strong supporter of the ENMU-Roswell campus for more than 30 of those years. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Oilfield Training Program and in the construction of the Oilfield Training Center, which was later renamed the Occupational Technology Center (OTC). He served on the Community College Board for ten years and on the Community Advisory Council for eight years. He served as chairman of the first bond issue campaign committee for ENMU-Roswell in 1981 and he served as chairman of the mill levy campaign required by the legislature in 1987. He was co-chairman of the OTC Advisory Board and served on the Board of Directors of the OTC Foundation. Earlier this year, Harris was named an Emeritus member of the ENMU-Roswell Foundation.

Harris also has a long history of financial contributions to education bond campaigns, student educational trips, the College Access Program Scholarships (CAPS), and matching grant programs. He has received numerous awards for his generosity, dedication and community service. In 2002, Harris was selected to receive the first ‘Distinguished Service to ENMU-Roswell’ award presented by the ENMU-Roswell Foundation. That award is now called the ‘Harris Award for Distinguished Service to ENMU-Roswell.’

In her comments during the renaming ceremony, Dr. Judy Armstrong, Provost said while the process to name a university building after a person is not easy, Harris was a logical and more-than-worthy person to recognize. “If ever anyone devoted a lifetime to giving – money, time, talent, it is Larry Harris,” she said. “It is a privilege and a blessing to know and work with Larry. His tireless efforts on behalf of ENMU-Roswell and our community have helped countless numbers of people. I can think of no one more deserving of this recognition.

Three-Campus Advertising Discussed

At Meeting in Roswell – Representatives from all three ENMU campuses met in Roswell on Thursday to discuss the possibility of an advertising campaign to promote awareness of the entire ENMU system. Brainstorming ideas were (L-R): Donna Oracion of ENMU-Roswell, D'Lyn Ford and Roma Vivas of ENMU-Portales, and Michael Elrod of ENMU-Ruidoso. The Monday Memo editor was also present.

* Avoid caffeine and alcohol or large amounts of sugar.
* Work in the shade, if possible.

* Seizures or convulsions.

Preventing Heat Stress:
* Know signs/symptoms of heat-related illnesses; monitor yourself and coworkers.
* Block out direct sun or other heat sources.
* Use cooling fans/air-conditioning; rest regularly.
* Drink lots of water; about 1 cup every 15 minutes.
* Wear lightweight, light colored, loose-fitting clothes.
* Avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks, or heavy meals.

What to Do for Heat-Related Illness:

1. Call 911 (or local emergency number) at once.
2. While waiting for help to arrive:
3. Move the worker to a cool, shaded area.
4. Loosen or remove heavy clothing.
5. Provide cool drinking water.

The Requisition is also available on the intranet as a PDF form. A requisition number will automatically be assigned when the form is opened. You will need to keep a copy of the requisition before sending it to the Business Office. If you need to prepare a second requisition, use the back key on the browser to go back to the menu and select Requisition again. When you go back in, the form will have another number. For this reason it is not recommended to "view" the form.

To access the Travel Voucher and Requisition, go into the intranet [http://inside.enmu.edu/] or go to ENMU home page, click on Faculty and Staff]; click on Forms; click on Business Office and then click on either Travel Voucher or Requisition.

The Business Office will have a supply of Travel Vouchers and Requisitions until depleted.

Please contact the Business Office at 562.2611 if you have any questions.

Absence Report Form Available Online—The Report of Absence for Exempt Employees professional and at-will form is now available on the intranet under Personnel forms. If you have any questions, contact Personnel Services at 562.2115.
