   The CWU football team will host a playoff game on Saturday, November 21, at noon in Tomlinson Stadium against Tarleton State University of Stephenville, Texas.
   On campus tickets are now available at the CWU Athletic Department and the Wildcat Shop in the Student Union and Recreation Center.
   Ticket prices are $10 for adults, and $5 for non-CWU students and adults over 55. Central students with ID will be admitted free.
Test Scheduled for CWU ALERT!
   A test of CWU ALERT! will be held on Thursday, November 19, at 12:30 p.m.
CWU's emergency notification system allows Public Safety and Police Services to send safety-related messages to faculty, staff, and students by e-mail, telephone, cell phone, TTY/TTD, text messaging, and to all computers on the network.
   The test will measure how well the campus phone and e-mail systems handle the large volume of messages, and roughly assess how many campus community members receive a message.
   The test is also a reminder that messages from CWU Alert! are important and worthy of attention, and to remind recipients to update their contact information in Safari.
   For information, or assistance with updating contact information, call ext. 2001 or visit www.cwu.edu

Holter Becomes Interim Chief of Staff
Sherer Holter    Sherer Holter, the current assistant vice president for human resources, assumed the role of interim chief of staff in October.
   President Jim Gaudino said that he selected Holter because of her extensive experience, not only in human resources, but also in executive management positions in Washington State government and higher education. She was also the chief executive officer of a multi-million dollar business.
   Her broad operations, executive management, and legal background (Holter holds a Juris Doctor degree from Western State University College of Law and is licensed with the Texas 		Bar) provide the expertise needed in the president's division to enhance collaboration throughout the university.
   Holter will provide leadership and support to institutional research, equal opportunity, inclusiveness/diversity, internal auditing, ombuds program, athletics, the president's office, government relations, and the faculty senate office. She will also assess organizational alignment within and between divisions.
   During her interim appointment, Sherer will continue to function as the assistant vice president for human resources. With Holter's guidance, human resources will develop a position description for the chief of staff post so that a national search can begin by the end of December.
