ENMU Builds Four Pet Waste Stations

For the convenience of those who walk their pets on campus, Eastern has installed four pet waste stations.

Each station comes with bags and a trash can. They are located by the Administration Building, Campus Bookstore, between the Campus Union Building and College of Business Building, and between the campus fountain and Jack Williamson Liberal Arts Building.

“We want to make strolling on campus a more pleasant experience for everyone—employees, students and community members,” said Ronnie Birdsong, vice president for University Relations and Enrollment Services. “Pet owners are conscientious, and this will make it easier for them if they forget to bring their own bags.”

ENMU’s Greyhound mascots, Vic and Tory, had their paws imprinted in cement on the foundation of the pet waste station by the Campus Bookstore on Tuesday, Jan. 24.

ENMU employees Ronda Hutcherson and Polo Ortega assisted Vic and Tory in having their paws imprinted in the fresh cement of the foundation for the pet waste station near the Campus Bookstore on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 24.

“We really appreciate pet owners taking advantage of these new stations,” said Ted Fares, director of the Physical Plant. “It not only makes the campus more inviting, but helps prevent diseases.”

Fares said that, if there was a demand, ENMU would be open to adding pet waste stations in other locations on campus.

For more information, call Fares at 562.2511.

Etiquette Training for Students Continues This Semester
by Jennifer Neilson
Communication Services

The spring semester will continue with class and style as Student Affairs will broadcast helpful tips for students to improve their etiquette, according to Dr. Judith Haislett, vice president for Student Affairs. The tips will be distributed around campus leading up to the Etiquette Dinner which on Feb. 23 in the CUB Ballroom at 6 p.m.

The dinner will consist of a presentation by consultant Jackie Ingle from Professional Edge with Dr. Chris Taylor, dean of the College of Business, as the emcee. The focus will be on appropriate dress, presentation and interviewing.

Sodexo is donating the dinner as a gift to ENMU students.

This evening will be a required training for RA staff as well as for some in various departments.

There will be four tips of the week between now and Feb. 23:

Eliminate the phrase “You Guys.” Try a week without it, just say you!

There is no privacy. If you post it, the world knows it!

Eliminate “um.” Try counting your “ums;” instead of saying “um,” be quiet before you continue speaking.

You are your song. Ringtones and messages say a lot about you. As a start, avoid: Rap ringtones, songs with personal messages and profanity.

For more information, call 575.562.2221.

'South Pacific' at ENMU in 1957

May 2-3, 1957 – ENMU grad Jim Slone provided this photo of ”South Pacific” performed in Greyhound Gym. Sandra Bevel played “Liat” and Betty Wolfenberger played “Bloody Mary.” Jim sang “Younger Than Springtime.” He says, "It was fun. Kissing Liat was pretty nice! And to think I was only 20."

Dr. Mark Dal Porto, professor of music, was declared the winner of the Berkeley Preparatory School Choral Composition Competition on 12/16/11. The winning entry was Dal Porto’s choral work titled Spring, the Sweet Spring. It will be performed by the Berkeley Singers (a mixed high school choir of 35 voices located in Tampa, Fla.) during their Spring Concert in June.

Zias to Face Defending LSC Champions on Fox Sports Southwest Website on Wednesday

PORTALES, N.M. — Fans of the Eastern New Mexico University women’s basketball team will have the opportunity to watch the team take on defending Lone Star Conference champion, Texas Woman’s University, next Wednesday, due to the LSC’s newly formed partnership with Fox Sports Southwest. The game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. MST tip off, and will be streamed by the regional sports network. The contest will not be televised.

Fans of the Zias and Pioneers can view the game online by clicking on the banner at http://www.foxsportssouthwest.com, at game time. This will be the only website that will be showing the game on Wednesday.

“Having a live broadcast of Zia basketball is just another example of how the Lone Star Conference is doing a great job of promoting our student-athletes,” said ENMU Athletic Director Dr. Jeff Geiser. “It is great to be a member of this trendsetting athletic conference.”

“It is great to get a chance to play the defending conference champions and have it viewed by so many followers,” said ENMU women’s basketball coach Lindsey Wilson. “Texas Woman’s University is a tough opponent and the game should be a great display of the type of basketball played in our conference.”

The contest marks the second of six regular season dates for LSC basketball, which will be carried by Fox Sports Southwest, in addition to the semifinals and finals of the championship tournaments. Plans are also in place for Fox Sports Southwest to carry the championship games for baseball, softball, volleyball and a number of football games.

Eastern dropped a 51-44 decision at Kitty Magee Arena, in early December, but claimed a 59-44 road win over the Pioneers, early last season. The Pioneers last visited Greyhound Arena on December 21, 2009, when Cat Clay’s three-point bucket with four seconds left, lifted Eastern to a 69-68 win.

“The web streaming initiative excites me because it provides the opportunity for new people to be exposed to our contests,” LSC Commissioner Stan Wagnon said. “FoxSportsSouthwest.com has a proven readership that visits their site each day, so these streams provide a chance to place our product right underneath their nose instead of relying on our ability to attract new visitors the LSC website or member school sites. I think Fox Southwest website patrons will be pleased with the level of competition and entertainment they find the Lone Star Conference.” – Adam Pitterman

Spirit Squad Tryouts on April 15 – Spirit Squad tryouts for the 2012-2013 team will take place on Sunday, April 15 beginning at 9 a.m. For more information, visit the Spirit Squad page at goeasternathletics.com or email Sara Hill at sara.shuler@enmu.edu.

Strong Finish Propels Hounds to Seventh Home Win in Eight Games

PORTALES, N.M. — The Eastern New Mexico University men’s basketball team 12-8; LSC 5-6() used a 17-3 run over the final 5:59 of Thursday night’s Lone Star Conference game, to edge Texas A&M-Kingsville (8-11; LSC 3-7) at Greyhound Arena. Senior center Curtis Wilkinson (Bude, Miss./Eisenhower HS/San Bernardino JUCO) notched his second double double as a Greyhound and had a crucial blocked shot in the closing minute of play.

With the win, Eastern has split the season series with the Javelinas and has won five of the last six meetings. The victory has also improved ENMU to 7-1 at home this season.

The Javelinas scored six of the first seven points of the game and held ENMU without a field goal for the first five minutes, to hold a 6-3 advantage. Texas A&M-Kingsville led throughout the first half, and capitalized on 15 Greyhound turnovers to score 14 points. Robert Williams hit nine-of-ten free throw attempts in the period to lead Texas A&m-Kingsville with 20 points, while Devone Davis (Jr., G, Brooklyn, N.Y./South Shore HS) paced the Hounds with five points. The Javelinas held a 25-19 edge at intermission.

After Reggie Nelson (Tyler, Texas/John Tyler HS/Tyler JUCO) opened the scoring in the second half, the Javelinas exploded on an 11-3 run over the next 3:42, to seize a 36-24 lead. Texas A&M-Kingsville led by as many as 13 in the second half, 39-26, but the Hounds whittled away at the deficit to pull within seven points, 50-43, on a Wilkinson dunk with 6:28 remaining. After Marcus Ford hit a trey, to give the Javelinas a 10-point lead, Wilkinson answered with another emphatic dunk, to ignite a 17-3 run over the final 5:59 of play. With the score knotted at 56-all, with 51 seconds left, Wilkinson rejected a Derryl Nash shot and grabbed the rebound off the next TAMUK shot attempt to set up Davis’ game-winning bucket. Nelson hit a pair of free throws to seal the game.

After shooting 28.6 percent in the opening half, the Hounds connected on a sizzling 58.3 percent in the final 20 minutes, to hit 44.4 percent for the game. Eastern’s depth also proved to be a pivotal factor, as the Greyhound Bench outscored the Javelinas reserves, by a 20-7 margin. Wilkinson finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals. Nelson paced Eastern with 18 points, while Davis chipped in 11 points, four rebounds and four steals. Williams led Texas A&M-Kingsville, with 20 points and 11 rebounds, while Ford contributed 18 points. – Adam Pitterman

Wilkinson and Nelson Lift Hounds Past Incarnate Word

PORTALES, N.M. — Seniors Curtis Wilkinson (C, Bude, Miss./Eisenhower HS/San Bernardino JUCO) and Reggie Nelson (Tyler, Texas/John Tyler HS/Tyler JUCO) combined for 44 points to lead the Eastern New Mexico University men’s basketball team (13-8; LSC 6-6) to a 75-57 victory over University of the Incarnate Word (11-8; LSC 7-5) in Lone Star Conference action, Saturday at Greyhound Arena. With the victory, Eastern improved to 8-1 at home, this season.

With the victory, the Hounds have won three of the last four meetings with the Cardinals and earned a season-split, this year. After missing the first meeting between the teams, which was an 85-70 loss, in San Antonio, Wilkinson poured in 19 points, grabbed 20 rebounds and blocked three shots. Wilkinson’s rebound total was a season-high in the LSC and the most for a Greyhound in at least 10 years, surpassing Aaron Edwards (Sr., F, Long Beach, Calif./Gardena HS/San Bernardino Valley College) 18 against Northern New Mexico, for last season.

The Greyhounds scored the first seven points of the game and only trailed once, by an 18-16 score, in the opening half. Nelson paced Eastern with 14 first half points, as the Greyhounds held a 43.3-29.6 edge in shooting from the field, on the way to a 34-24 edge at halftime.

The Cardinals responded with a 7-0 run over the opening 1:47 of the second half, taking their final lead of the game, 35-34, on back-to-back treys from Denzel Livingston. The Hounds took the lead for good on Nelson’s three-point basket, about a minute later, which ignited a 10-2 ENMU run, giving the Hounds a 44-37 lead, with 13:48 left. Incarnate Word scored the next four points to pull within three, 44-41, but could come no closer as the Greyhounds scored nine straight points to pull away for the win.

Each team committed 16 turnovers, but the Hounds scored 23 points on the miscues, while only allowing 11 points to UIW. The double double was the second straight for Wilkinson and his third at ENMU. Nelson finished with 25 points, six rebounds and four assists. Tralyn Harden (Sr., G, Itasca, Texas/Itasca HS/McLennan CC) and Kyle Lantz (So., G, Albuquerque, N.M./Manzano HS) each contributed eight points. Chris Johnson paced the Cardinals with 16 points and six rebounds.

The Eastern New Mexico University men’s basketball team will return to action on Wednesday, February 8, at Angelo State. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MST. – Adam Pitterman

Zias Defeat Cardinals at Home

PORTALES, N.M.—Senior forward Precious Herrin (Shreveport, La./ Southwood High School/ Jacksonville College) and junior Hanna Altheide (G, El Paso, Texas/ Chapin High School) combined for a staggering 40 points and .680 shooting percentage from the field as Eastern New Mexico University women’s basketball team (5-12; LSC 3-8) picked up an important victory over LSC opponent University of the Incarnate Word (9-8; LSC 7-4), Saturday afternoon at Greyhound arena. The 77-66 victory gave the Zias their first win over the Cardinals since they joined the LSC in 2010.

Altheide set the tone for the Zias as she started off the game with a bucket that gave the Zias the initial lead. Altheide didn’t stop there, she continued on and picked up nine of the of the Zias first 1l points. After jumping out to a quick seven point lead, the Cardinals responded with consecutive buckets from behind the arc to pull the game within one. Just as it looked like Incarnate Word was gaining momentum, Altheide drained her second three of the game which sparked a 22-12 run that lasted over the next 8:35. During the streak, four separate Zias contributed buckets and ENMU was able to stretch their lead to 14 points. The Zias outshot their opponents .486-.370, held a 22-16 edge on the boards and went into the locker room with a 42-29 lead.

Coming out of the locker room, the Zias kept their momentum and maintained a double-digit lead for most of the half. Karen Grant (Lubbock, Texas/ Estacado High School) and Herrin lead the charge in the second half as Grant poured in 13 points and Herrin chipped in 10. After the Cardinals got into foul trouble, the Zias were unstoppable at the line and they converted 20-of-22 free throws. With the Zias clicking on all cylinders, they were able to keep the Cardinal scorers at bay and were never leading by less than eight the whole half. The Zias finished with a .463 shooting percentage, the advantage on the boards, and the 77-66 victory.

Altheide finished her day with a career-high 19 points and a .667 shooting percentage from behind the arc. Herrin picked up a game-high 21 points, three rebounds, and two blocked shots. Incarnate Word was led by Ashlyn Green who picked up a team-high 16 points and seven boards.

The Eastern New Mexico University women’s basketball team will return to action on Wednesday, February 1st when they host Texas Woman’s University. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. MST.

Gridiron Greyhounds to Play at Cowboy Stadium in 2012

The Lone Star Conference has announced that a two-day, six-game Lone Star Conference Football Festival will be held on Sept.14-15 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event marks the second year of the LSC Football Festival, with the Greyhounds taking on University of the Incarnate Word on Friday, Sept.14, at 11 a.m. MST.

“This is a ‘gem’ for Eastern and for the Lone Star Conference as no other DII conference in the country gets to play in Dallas Cowboy Stadium!” said ENMU Athletic Director Dr. Jeff Geiser. “This event will include the best marching band in the LSC, the Greyhound Sound as well as our spirit squad. What a great opportunity to promote Eastern in the Dallas/Fort Worth area! We hope our students will make the trip with us!”

For information on the Arlington, Texas area, or available lodging, please contact ENMU Athletic Marketing and Events Manager, Sara Hill at (575) 562-2236. For information on the event, please visit http://www.lonestarconference.org/news/2012/1/23/FB_0123124030.aspx

The game will mark the third meeting between the programs, with each team winning at home. Last season, the Cardinals claimed a 41-28 decision in San Antonio, Texas. Eastern won the first meeting, 35-30, in the 2009 season finale at Greyhound Stadium.

“Last year’s festival proved to be a shining moment for the Lone Star Conference, and we’re confident this year’s version will be even better with all nine teams involved,” LSC commissioner Stan Wagnon said. “Our vision for this event remains to showcase LSC football programs while providing the LSC member schools with an opportunity to reconnect with alumni throughout North Texas. There’s no better place to do that than Cowboys Stadium.”

Admission to the event will be offered in daily tickets for Friday or Saturday’s games along with an option for two-day festival passes, with tickets to go on sale later this spring.

The 2011 Lone Star Football Festival drew an LSC attendance record 24,837 fans to a tripleheader of games, which included Midwestern State defeating Texas A&M-Commerce 63-17 in the Harvey Martin Classic, North Alabama stopping Abilene Christian 23-17, and West Texas A&M using a quick start to top Texas A&M-Kingsville 42-21.

The LSC, founded in 1931, has a proud history as one of the nation’s greatest small college football leagues. The conference made its mark in the NAIA, especially from 1969 to 1979 when four LSC schools combined to win 10 national titles in that 11-season span. The LSC became affiliated with the NCAA in 1982 and now is annually well-represented in the Division II playoffs, with more than a dozen former players currently on NFL rosters.

Cowboys Stadium is the largest, most technologically advanced sports and entertainment venue in the world.

Friendly Tips About Monday Memo Style – For anyone who thinks that we arbitrarily change the way that they submit items to the Monday Memo, we are simply using (mostly) Associated Press style.

We do try to make items friendlier by using Dr. for professors (which the AP does not) and first names or Mr. or Ms. with last names for others on second reference – versus AP style of using last names without Dr., Mr., Ms. or Mrs.

We always capitalize and spell out days of the week: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

We spell out March, April, May, June and July. We abbreviate Jan., Feb., Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec. (We do spell out all months in headlines.)

We write times as 6:30 a.m. or 7 p.m. – not as 6:30 am or 7:00pm.

We write dates as March 3, 2011, or Sept. 10, 2011, – not as Mar. 3rd, 2011 or September 10th 2011.

We do not capitalize majors: anthropology – not Anthropology (unless the word would normally be capitalized: English, Spanish).

We use professor of music – not Professor of Music.

We do not capitalize fall semester or spring semester.

We use "and" instead of "&" – spring and fall, not Spring & Fall.

We do capitalize formal names of departments or colleges – Counseling and Career Services, College of Business, Department of Communicative Arts and Sciences (but not communications department).

We also go easy on exclamation points – if you have won the lottery, it might be worth three !!!

We never capitalize every letter ina word – FIRST FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY NIGHT!!! (unless it's the correct spelling for a company, restaurant, etc. – ECEL, TGIF).

We are not trying to offend anyone by editing their copy – just following guidelines.

This is just a friendly explanation.

For questions, email monday.memo@enmu.edu. Thank you.
