Students all want to get better laboratories and better equipment, which directly lead to a better education environment. In order to achieve that, Eastern New Mexico University’s administration decided to remodel the old Science Building.

ENMU students are expecting the renovated complex to be opened for the fall semester. The building is scheduled to be finished on June 6, and so far almost 63 percent has been completed. [continued]

Cynthia Irwin-Williams Lecture Set for February 7
by Barbara Senn
Special Contributor

The Department of Anthropology and Applied Archaeology and Mu Alpha Nu Anthropology Club will host the 9th annual Cynthia Irwin-Williams lecture at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 7, in Room 112 of the Jack Williamson Liberal Arts Building. It is free and open to the public.

The guest speaker is Dr. Douglas Schwartz, President Emeritus and Senior Scholar at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe. He will speak on “Researching at the Edge of Splendor: Discovering Grand Canyon Prehistory.”

Dr. Schwartz writes about his work:

The prehistory of the Grand Canyon was essentially unknown when I was first introduced to it as a young undergraduate in 1949. Over the next twenty years, beginning with my doctoral research there as a graduate student at Yale, I conducted a number of pioneering archaeological surveys throughout the Canyon.

Building on this work, in the 1960's I directed a series of excavations, the first major work of its kind in the Grand Canyon area. My work in the Canyon combined back-country exploration, river running, archaeological excavating, ecological research, climatology and ethnographic studies and it uncovered an unexpected and fascinating picture of prehistoric life in this unique environment.

For more information, contact Dr. David Batten at 562.2750.

Powerpoint Presentation About Upcoming Smithsonian Food Exhibit at ENMU – [watch powerpoint] (after downloading, click to change images)

Updated: Help Needed for Smithsonian Exhibit – A Smithsonian Exhibit "Key Ingredients: America by Food" will occur in the Golden Librrary and Pecos Room Feb. 23 through April 4. To supplement and enrich this event, a wide variety of local programs, activities, lectures, displays are being planned; however, help is needed.

A huge thank you to many who have already been helping and have promised to help with the local programming for this Smithsonian Event.

However, Merlene Olmsted still needs help and am hoping you will rise to the challenge. Where she has the greatest need for help is that of docents (guides) to be available to guide and explain to Exhibit goers what they can expect as they travel through the main Exhibit, “Key Ingredients: America by Food.” She will provide a pamphlet that explains each portion of the Exhibit, and she will also have a one-hour training (for those who wish) on Feb. 19 beginning at 2 p.m.

Organizers are hoping faculty and staff will be able to help in a variety of ways. To see how you can help

Help the Hartley House with their Silent Auction!

The Hartley House Extravaganza is scheduled for Feb. 23 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Clovis Civic Center. Each year, the Hartley House has two fund-raisers. The summer fund-raiser is more for community awareness than it is to raise money, but the Extravaganza is what sustains the Domestic Violence Shelter with funds for items that build up during the year. The Shelter has been very busy this year and at one time during the fall season, the shelter had several women with a total of 22 children!

The Silent Auction is the biggest part of the Extravaganza event. Organizers are looking for new items - art pieces, new quilts, or gift certificates to area business - anything fun that would interest anyone to start a bidding war. Organizers do at least 5-6 items in a live auction. Last year, Hamilton Ford donated a cute, used convertible that really brought in some competitive high bids. They’ve also auctioned off trips. The live auction is where quilts that local women have made and donated are auctioned off

If you have items you’d like to donate for the silent auction or live auction, please contact board member Terri Marney at tmarney@phs.org.
