ENMU Narrows Greyhound Mascot Names to Five Pairs

male	female

After receiving more than 200 name suggestions from the public and students for two Greyhound dogs which Eastern New Mexico University is adopting from the New Mexico Greyhound Connection, a committee has narrowed the selection for the male and female to five paired names:

Loyal-True
Roscoe-Ruby
Vic-Tory
Emerald-Silver
Thunder-Bolt

The final names will be selected through donations of $1 per vote, sponsored by Associated Students of ENMU, in jars in the Campus Union Building, Greyhound Arena and one traveling set for meetings on campus and in town from Nov. 9-24.  Money raised will be used for the upkeep of the dogs — expected to arrive on campus in early December and be officially introduced in January.  The ENMU Bench Club has already donated $2,000, and the ENMU Foundation $1,000.

ENMU is also accepting applications for a foster family in Portales.  No expense would be involved. 

The following are providing complimentary products or services: Red Flannel premium dog food, sold at Creighton’s Town and Country in Portales; veterinarian and ENMU grad David Hudson of All Pets Animal Hospital in Clovis; Caroline Adare of Petsense in Clovis, bowls, leashes and collars; ENMU grad Tonnette Carpenter of Waggin’ Tails in Clovis, grooming; and Dee Durden of Rewards in Clovis, training for the Greyhounds and ENMU student “Hound Handlers.”

“Hound Handler” applications will be accepted from freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors through Nov. 13.  The maximum of six students must have 3.0 grade point averages and will receive stipends.   Applications can be picked up in Room 108 of the Administration Building.

Fine Arts Events

Fall Fine Arts Calendar – [calendar]

ENMU Faculty Oboe Recital Set for November 9
by Robin Haislett
Communication Services

(This recital has been postponed.)

Eastern New Mexico University’s associate professor of music Tracy Carr will perform her faculty oboe recital at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9 at the First United Methodist Church in Portales.

Carr will perform “Reverie” and “Menuet”  by Claude Debussy,“Sonata for Oboe and Piano”by HenriDutilleux, “Trio Sonata” for violin, oboe and piano by Johann Quantz and “Obsession for Oboe and Piano” by Makoto Shinohara.

Carr selected the pieces to be performed for a reason. “I am looking for literature that might not be as well known to the audience,” she says. “The Dutilleux and Shinohara are quite modern, contemporary pieces and Shinohara is more wild mood music with a lot of technical passages for the oboe and very exciting, percussive chords in the piano.”

Carr looks forward to seeing how the audience will react to the different styles of the pieces in the night’s repertoire. “I think the audience will enjoy Debussy and Quantz because they are very relaxing and crowd-pleasing. Most people think of the oboe as a very calm, melancholy, soulful-type instrument, which it is. The Dutilleux and the Shinohara pieces show that the oboe can also be aggressive, assertive, technical and virtuoustic.”

Eileen MacNaughton, a violinist, performed with Carr last year and the two will carry on the partnership for this year’s recital. It was so much fun, we decided to collaborate again,” says Carr. Accompanying Carr and MacNaughton is Kayla Paulk, accompanist and vocal coach at ENMU.

The performance is free and open to the public.

For more information, contact Kathi Fraze at 575.562.2377.

General Comments and Compliments

Congratulations to the Greyhound football team for setting several school records in passing this year.

To Whom It May Concern,

Just curious as to why the audio from the first student concerns meeting was posted in the Monday Memo, but the audio from the second, and very informative, student concerns meeting, is not? Don't you think that's a bit one-sided? Again, ENMU continues to conceal information from its student body. I thought the goal of a university was to promote education, critical thinking, and self-development. How are students to make educated decisions about the events occurring within the community around them when they cannot receive ALL of the information? How are we to act as a community and develop a sense of school pride when our university doesn't have the decency to simply present its tuition paying students with the facts they are seeking? Ignorance is not bliss and omitting the truth is LYING. Go Greyhounds! – Jasmine Kidwell

(Editor's Note: The Monday Memo editor only had time to be at the first meeting. That is why the recording of the first meeting was in the Monday Memo. Both meetings were open to the public. We have now located a recording of the second meeting, and it can be listened to at the link below.)

About Us:

Alcoholics Anonymous® is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
