PORTALES - After over an hour of discussion, the Eastern New Mexico University Board of Regents on Friday developed a plan to address concerns about an oversight policy introduced in November. The policy, which would give three staff members (chief information officer, human resource director, and vice president of business affairs) oversight of the Portales, Ruidoso, and Roswell ENMU campuses, was tabled until the board's January meeting to hear concerns from the Roswell...
PORTALES — The body found Tuesday night in the driver seat of a burning pick-up truck west of Portales may require DNA analysis before pathologists can confirm its identity, Roosevelt County Sheriff Malin Parker said Friday.

And that was certainly on full display against Borger Friday night at Rock Staubus Gymnasium, as the...
