Go Greyhounds!

I

n October 2009 the ENMU Alumni Association unveiled the design of the first Eastern New Mexico University collegiate license plate. The plate features the University’s Zia symbol and greyhound mascot with Eastern’s school colors of green and silver—symbols that will be easily recognized across New Mexico. The new plate marks the first time the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division has issued a collegiate license plate for ENMU.

Janice proudly displays her 0001 ENMU plate!

“I think this is a good opportunity for Eastern New Mexico University alumni to show pride in their institution,” said University President Dr. Steven Gamble. “The license plates are obviously very visible, and I look forward to seeing ENMU license plates on the road.” This plate is available to any vehicle owner registering a vehicle in New Mexico interested in displaying this plate and supporting the program.

The ENMU Alumni Association collegiate license plate program provides special recognition for the University and creates a unique source of revenue. The annual fee for each license plate is $37, with $25 going toward the ENMU Alumni Association. These funds will help provide student scholarships and other programming for the Association.

To obtain the ENMU collegiate plates you must fill out the application located at http://www.mvd.newmexico.gov/assets/Mvd11322.pdf, or call the Office of Alumni Affairs, and one will be provided for you. You do not have to wait for your current registration to expire.

For further information, please contact the Office of Alumni Affairs at 1.888.772.3668 toll free or 575.562.4251. An e-mail may also be sent to janice.cowen@enmu.edu.

So, what are you waiting for? Show your Eastern pride. Be a Greyhound on the go!

ENMU Now Has Live Mascots

by ENMU’s Communication Services

University President Steven Gamble said he was glad to see the mascots come. “We have a lot of school spirit at Eastern, but I think this will just add to it,” he said. ENMU alumnus and Director of Publications Janice Morrow started the move to get the greyhounds.

She said she thought of other universities with live mascots. “And people appreciate the tradition and have a little more interest in the university if they can relate to an animal,” she said. Morrow liked the idea of rescue dogs because ENMU could help spread the message about them. With the dogs receiving the best food and care, Smith estimated it would cost around $2,000 a year to take care of them.

However, he expects a special endowment will provide the money so it won’t detract from education. The ENMU Foundation has donated $1,000 for the dogs, and the ENMU Bench Club has contributed $2,000.

E

astern New Mexico University has been given the exciting opportunity to adopt two former racing greyhounds as official mascots. These two hounds come from the New Mexico Greyhound Connection (NMGC) via the Greyhound Pets of America— Arizona Chapter (GPA-AZ). Both are tax exempt 501(c)3 organizations dedicated to the placement of ex-racing greyhounds in ideal situations. Together, NMGC and GPA-AZ, along with the ENMU greyhound committee, have selected a male and female greyhound which are cared for by the ENMU Pre-Vet Club and the ENMU Department of Agriculture and handled by a select group of six Hound Handlers under the direction of Dr. Darron Smith, associate professor of agriculture and technology.

(Left to right) Vic and Tory, ENMU’s new greyhound mascots.

ENMU followed the same guidelines for adoption as any other adoptive person or family to insure proper care and handling of the dogs. The dogs will live on campus and will be well loved, walked several times a day and will have a regular training schedule. The animals must be good with people, and their student handlers are expected to be trained to work with them in crowds. Smith said people will be allowed to interact with them.

One of the adoptees is a 75-pound, 2-year-old male, brindle in color. He was not interested in chasing the lure around the track and was, therefore, “retired” as a racing dog. He is happy around groups of people and wants to visit with anyone who will give him attention. The second adoptee is a 65-pound, 4-year-old black female with a white chest. She is very outgoing and loves people. The pair arrived on campus on Dec. 1 with an official debut on Jan. 23, 2010 at an ENMU men’s basketball game.

The university accepted suggestions for naming the dogs with a committee picking the top five names and the community voting for the final choices ($1 per vote) as donations for the dogs’ upkeep. The dogs received the names that brought in the most money, Vic and Tory, to represent “victory.”

Greyhounds date back to the 5th and 6th centuries where they were used for hunting due to their keen eyesight.

Greyhounds can easily form attachments to their owners and show extreme loyalty. The word “hound” is actually a derivative of the Old English word “hund” which also meant dog. Greyhounds can reach speeds of 43 miles per hour. No other dog breed can beat their speed. Unfortunately, their quickness means that they are also used for dog racing. This, within itself, wouldn’t’ be bad, but on occasion the dogs are mistreated and abused once they can no longer race. Luckily, there are many greyhound rescue companies out there who are trying to help the lovable dogs find good homes once they have retired from the business.

Homecoming Honorees

ASSOCIATION

Three Special Honors Given at Homecoming 2009 by The ENMU Foundation

Business of the Year—Super 8 The Super 8 hotel opened in Portales in 1992. The owners of

National Peanut Board and was most recently serving on the National Corporate Board of Dairy Farmers of America, as well as several other local and national dairy boards.

Mischel’s LLC that owns the Super 8 hotel, Sherry Mischel and Timothy Finlay, currently live in Scottsdale, Arizona.

His wife, Mary Helen, recalls when Alva was instrumental in establishing the first Portales girls’ softball league and helped to prepare a new field for the team to practice on and use for games.

Mrs. Carter has established an endowed scholarship in his memory.

The Super 8 has been a consistent supporter to the ENMU Athletic Department as a corporate sponsor for the past eight years contributing over $23,400. Sherry and Timothy own seven other Super 8 hotels with four others in New Mexico, two in Colorado and one in Arizona. The owners give back to these communities in numerous ways. They support the local hospitals in the various communities by offering low cost or free accommodations for patients having treatments. The company is also a strong supporter of the American Cancer Society and the Relay for Life. Sherry and Timothy are generous with the Crow Canyon Archeological Center in Cortez, Colo. supporting its programs and elementary school outreach projects.

Philanthropists of the Year Ralph and Jan Fort (left and center) were very proud of their son, Frank Wilburn

Hilliard Fort (top left), who graduated from ENMU with his B.S. in communication education in December 1995. His life was dedicated to helping others.

For 14 years, Frank served as a leadership consultant for the New Mexico Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (NMFCCLA). Later he served on the National FCCLA Board of Directors representing the Pacific region. Frank was honored in 2007 in Anaheim, Calif., with the FCCLA Alumni Achievement Award. He was the state advisor for the CTSO (Career and Technical Student Organization). Later, he became a training specialist for Pegasus Solutions which gave him the opportunity to travel around the world conducting leadership training.

Sherry has been a long-time Rotarian. In fact, just this year she chartered the new Rotary Club of Scottsdale North and currently serves as the district secretary. Timothy has volunteered for Junior Achievement and for the I.R.S. as a VITA which is a Volunteer Income Tax Assistant helping senior citizens and low income individuals complete their tax forms.

Volunteer of the Year—Alva C. Carter (posthumous) Alva Carter was born April 18, 1940 and died Nov. 20, 2008.

Frank Fort died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty heater in his Albuquerque home at the young age of 36. His parents, Ralph and Jan Fort, and his family have chosen to honor him with a $50,000 gift to establish the Frank W. Fort Memorial Scholarship.

For those 68 years, Alva was always one to take on a challenge and demonstrate his strong work ethic and dedication to what was right. He was born to support eastern New Mexico and especially Roosevelt County and Portales. He was appointed to the Board of Regents by Governor Richardson in 2003 and was serving as president of the ENMU Board of Regents when his life ended in an automobile accident. “Mr. Carter’s commitment to the University and his strong support of this community was well-known, and he will be sorely missed,” stated Dr. Gamble.

The family has also committed to making significant annual contributions to this scholarship to help more students in Frank’s memory. Ralph and Jan Fort visited with their daughter, Wendy Branstine (right), and decided that ENMU was the best place to memorialize Frank because he cared so much about the school and was very involved as a student. Also shown in the photo, Wendy’s husband, Matt, and their children Renate and Nikolous.

Besides leading ENMU into the future, Alva was also the past president of the New Mexico Peanut Growers. He served on the

Distinguished Service Awards Shirley Gail Ferguson received her undergraduate and

He has served as the Minority Whip, Majority Whip, Majority Floor Leader and, most recently, the President Pro Tempore. Born and raised in Roswell, N.M., Sen. Jennings attended the New Mexico Military Institute and earned a bachelor’s degree from Creighton University in business administration. He is a rancher and businessman.

graduate degrees in communicative disorders from Eastern New Mexico University. After graduation, she became an instructor in the Department of Communicative Disorders at ENMU. She led a very long and distinguished career as a teacher and friend.

Sen. Jennings has established himself as a strong and tireless advocate for the unique opportunities his constituents are confronted with in southeastern New Mexico, as well as the entire state. Sen. Jennings is the state’s second-longest serving senator. Not only is he a leader in the state, he is active in his community, having served as past board chair of the Red Cross and Sertoma.

She was devoted to her students inside and outside of the classroom.

Hundreds of students went through the department under her guidance and nurturing. Ferguson had a passion for her profession of speechlanguage pathology and was considered “top notch” by her students.

Even after graduation, many of her students continued to stay in touch asking her advice about a particular client or patient or just to visit.

Often while traveling, she would visit her former students at their place of employment.

Outstanding Alumni Awards Don Holden received his undergraduate degrees in psychology

She received many honors throughout her 25-year career. In 1993 she received a Distinguished Faculty Emeritus Award from Eastern New Mexico University. She was a member of the American Speech and Hearing Association, the New Mexico Speech and Hearing Association and a faculty advisor for the local chapter of the National Student Speech, Language and Hearing Association as well as the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority.

and sociology from Eastern New Mexico University in 1973. Holden was instrumental in establishing the social work program at ENMU. Social work is both an academic and an applied discipline based on values of service, social and economic justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships and integrity and competence in practice.

Jimmie Shearer, president, chief executive officer, director and

owner of Sunland Inc. and ENMU teamed up to produce scholarships for students. Together with ENMU’s Department of Communicative Arts and Sciences, Department of Art and College of Business, Shearer spent the better part of a year preparing the groundwork for the new scholarship program.

The essence of social work is helping people, organizations and communities. The curriculum is designed to provide the basic knowledge, skills and values necessary for competent and ethical generalist social work to those entering the profession, as well as those already practicing in social service settings. The curriculum helps prepare students and practitioners for licensure and advanced study.

The ENMU “Peanut Project” is a student-run effort. With guidance from faculty members, students began the campaign, “Investing in Education: One Peanut at a Time.” Sunland Peanuts has donated peanuts at cost for the fund-raising effort. Net profits benefit ENMU scholarships that all students are able to apply for. ENMU is one of very few universities in the nation to team up with a local business to fund scholarships.

Holden once held the position of director of CARC Inc. in Carlsbad, whose mission was to provide services for people with special needs and helped found the Oasis Program, a voice for sexually abused children in Roosevelt County. He is currently the regional manager of the Children Youth and Families Department for the southeast counties of New Mexico.

Lynn Brinckmeyer received a Bachelor and Master of Music

Sunland is a charter member of the Foundation Flagship giving club at the $10,000 Stellar Level annually. Shearer received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in management and data processing from Eastern New Mexico University.

Education from Eastern New Mexico University. She later earned her Ph.D. in music education from the University of Kansas. Since graduation, she has served as the national president of the Music Educators National Conference, the largest Arts Education organization in the world, with more than 120,000 members from all levels of teaching from elementary to graduate schools.

He was appointed to the National Peanut Standards Board by the United States Secretary of Agriculture and named the NM Marketer of the Year by the NM USDA and has been the treasurer of the New Mexico Peanut Research Board since its inception. Shearer has served as the president of the Portales Rotary Club and president of the Portales School Board.

In New Mexico she taught elementary music and middle school choir and went on to teach higher education in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to chairing the Eastern Washington University Music Department for six years, she received both the PTI Excellence in Teaching Award and the CenturyTel Award for outstanding faculty. Now at Texas State University, Brinckmeyer serves as associate professor of music and director of choral music education. She is a contributing author in The Music Director’s Cookbook: Creative Recipes for a Successful Program and The Choral Director’s Cookbook: Insights and Inspired Recipes for Beginners and Experts. She has conducted, lectured, presented master classes and performed across the United States, Korea, Taiwan, Amsterdam, Italy and the British Isles.

Honorary Lifetime Alumni Award Senator Timothy Z. Jennings was appointed to the New Mexico Legislature in July

of 1978, serving District 32 which includes Chaves, Eddy, Lincoln and Otero counties. During this time, Sen. Jennings has held numerous positions on various committees and has been instrumental in the Senate’s leadership.

An Alum’s Impression on Then (41 Years Ago) and Now

Artist Donates Paintings to ENMU

by Barry C. Smith (BS67 MA68)

C

D

Mr. Contreras lives in Santa Monica, Calif.

His works are on display in museums and galleries around the world and range in price

The campus has changed so unbelievably that we had trouble finding things we saw daily in the old days. Many of the more active buildings in the 60s have now partially become museums, for example my old dorm, Lea Hall. With all buildings on campus now having the same type of exterior brick, the campus has a much more unified, dignified appearance than in the old days when the buildings had a variety of exteriors.

ue to travel arrangements and other commitments, one of my very best friends, Ron Cameron (BS66), and I did our own smaller and more personalized homecoming one weekend before the official 2009 Homecoming, deciding it was time for an archaeological dig back into our personal histories at ENMU. I had not been back since graduation (BS67 MA68), while Ron had only been back a couple of times since the 60s, the most recent being ten years ago.

alifornia artist Albert Contreras recently donated 24 untitled works in honor of “a friend who attended ENMU years ago.” The works are prominently displayed in the Campus Union Building over the main stairwell to the ballroom on the second floor.

The place where we had sock hops was located on tennis courts behind Roosevelt Hall, which now houses only grass. In the old days we had a rocking good time hanging out there where someone had a record player and a stack of records with a lot of dancing and observing going on.

The present Jack Williamson Liberal Arts Building was known simply as the L A building. The inside of this building has been noticeably modified. The place where our old professors used to have their offices is no more. from $2,500 for small pieces to $60,000 for large works and multi-panel arrangements.

“These amazingly vibrant works of art will be enjoyed by the general public and the campus community for many years

In the old days the grounds were a bit more scraggly than the neat appearance they have today, and the crisscross sidewalks are a new and very attractive addition as well. Along with the newer buildings and improved landscaping, is the ever present friendliness, both on campus and off, which remains as strong as ever. Our alumni office went out of their way to make us feel most welcome, and we are very grateful.

The square downtown now contains only one business that was there in the old days, Woody’s Jewelry. Danny Woodward, owner, spent some extremely cordial time with us sharing some of what has happened in the intervening years, and the friendliness of Portales came roaring back like a freight train. Ron had purchased his first watch there about 50 years earlier, $14 as he recalled, which was so much money then that he bought it on “lay-away.”

The underpass into Clovis is now an overpass, and there were no businesses along Mabry Drive which were left from the old days—not even one.

As we spent two days prowling about, we felt a bit like personal archaeologists visiting our youthful past. Now as two old geezers, we reflected on our youth during such a dynamic period of personal growth, hopes and dreams at ENMU in preparation for after-school life itself.

As adults realizing how small things appear in childhood, we gazed about the various dorms and off-campus places which seemed far smaller than before. That was a different time back then— the uproarious 60s and all that went with it. Now gazing back on so many of those memories while growing up, the nostalgia and recollections are overwhelming. We wouldn’t take a million bucks for these fond memories of Eastern and our two days of revisiting them. The wonderful youth and innocence of the old school days will live forever in our minds. Thank you Eastern.

to come,” stated Noelle Bartl, the executive director of the ENMU Foundation. “We greatly appreciate Mr. Contreras’ generosity, thoughtfulness and unique artistic technique involved in making this gift to ENMU in honor of his friend, the mystery alumnus.”
