Jack Williamson Endowed Chair Professor Giving Concert on April 2
by Dr. Michael Sitton
Dean of the College of Fine Arts

Guitarist, vocalist and composer Alberto Rojo, who is visiting ENMU this semester as holder of the Jack Williamson Endowed Chair in Science and the Humanities, will perform a concert titled “Argentinean Landscapes for Guitar and Voice” in the Music Building’s Buchanan Hall at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 2. The concert is free to the public.

Rojo, a native of Argentina, is also associate professor of physics at Oakland University in Michigan. He has published extensively in quantum properties of the solid state, some of his work as a single author and some in collaboration with prominent scientists such as 2003 Nobel Laureate Tony Leggett. He has an interest in the history of physics and his book on the "Principle of Least Action" will be published in 2007 by Cambridge University Press.

As a musician he has composed songs, solo guitar works and, in November 2006, made his debut as a symphonic composer with a short piece that was played in the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires (Argentina), directed by Pedro Ignacio Calderon. He has two solo albums and his song “Chacarera del Fuego” was anthologized in The Rough Guide to the Music of Argentina (Music Rough Guides). He has given numerous concerts in Latin America and Europe.

His solo guitar pieces are published by Lathkill Music Publishers in the United Kingdom and have been recorded by artists including Berta Rojas (Dorian), Victor Villadangos (Naxos) and Mercedes Sosa. Rojo plays two songs (one his own) in Sosa’s latest album “Corazon Libre,” which was issued by Deutsche Grammophon and won the Latin Grammy for best folkloric album of 2006.

His concert will include mostly his own compositions for guitar, voice and guitar, and a short suite for decaphonic guitar.

TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology
(courtesy of Ron Obenhaus at ITS Computing)

Computing
Outlook series – Manage Multiple E-Mail Accounts with Outlook
The great thing about Web-based e-mail accounts (such as MSN® Hotmail®) is that you can access them anytime and anywhere you have access to the Web. On the other hand, the Web interface offers a much less powerful and flexible way to manage your e-mail messages. If you use Outlook to store and manage your Web e-mail, you get the best of both worlds. With Outlook, you can easily access your Web-based e-mail. Here's how:
• On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
• Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
• Click HTTP, and then click Next.
• Add your e-mail account information (enter your user and logon information and select your mail service provider), and then click Next.
• Click Finish to set up your account.
Now your Web-based account will appear alphabetically in your Folder List. If your Folder List is not currently visible, click Folder List the View menu.

PowerPoint series – Using the Slide Master in PowerPoint
One of the best tips for using PowerPoint is to use the "Slide Master" page to design the style of your pages BEFORE you start designing your presentation. This is the place to put your company logo, instead of placing it on every single slide put it on the slide master. This is also the place to set up all your fonts, size, and "slide color scheme". This will save you hours of extra work formatting every single slide. To display the slide master select View from the pull-down menu then choose Master.

DAT file version update – To check that your computer is up-to-date with the most current versions of virusscan software, locate the red and white shield with a red “M” by your system clock on the bottom right side of your screen and click on it with the right mouse button. Choose “VirusScan Enterprise” in the pull-down box. 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 4991 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 5100. If either one is not displaying the above versions, click on the red “M” 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.

Telephony – Call hold: This feature allows you to place a party on hold to perform other tasks.
To activate: With a party on the line, press the line key (the lamp will change from repeating a double flash to flashing slowly.)
To retrieve: Press the line key again (lamp repeats the double flash).

If you have a tip you would like to share with us please send it to: ENMU.TechTips@enmu.edu.

Take advantage of the easy, online process by sending all your calendar requests to calendar@enmu.edu. Please direct questions to Betsy Chavez at betsy.chavez@enmu.edu or call 562.2134.

Travel Voucher Available on Intranet – The Travel Voucher is now available on the intranet as a PDF form. You will need to make a copy for your records before submitting the original to the Business Office.

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.
