Mu sica l Tale nts Of NIJC Stud ents Sh ould Be Put To Use
An entering freshman discovers many fine features and opportunities at our intimele campus. He finds a newspaper, a basketball ieam, moon-time sports, a hi -fi iukebox o~d student union.
At this freshman goes through his first sem ester of college. he fonds that there is o very basic "so meth ing " lacking. Sound Music;
He first noli"8S this when he attends the ball games. There 1s not o si ngle sousaphone to be heard on our side, not even o bass drum.
He attends the college dances. Here he f inds good dance music. The band however, turns out lo be a high school dance bond or perhaps s~e professional local bond. There isn't • 'sound' here lo take real pride in
Most college students heve had some musical experie nce, beg,nnmg a t an early age. Should one peek in at the grammar school level, one would find frantic mothers leading thei r children off once a week lo piono and violin lessons; and an occasion.al "concert", !a.ndp!'per blocks and all, with a good percentage of the l,ttle ones ~amc,palm_g.
The iunior high and high schools have bands with o rela!1vely high number of students participating. Ente rprising students strike out on their own, forming combos and dan"ce bands, with the bond in~ructor acting merely in an advisory capacity. Almost without excep!oon, regardless of school size, th.ere is some fo_rm of organized ~u~ical g~oup.
Getting bock to musically apathetic NIJC, there IS~ I a s,ngle student-orgonized group to be found. This 1s quite surprising because any college is o breeding ground of enterprise .and ex~erimental(on.
Should one drop four or five years of experience with o mus,col instrument upon entering college? No. Music should be a life-long experie nce. A basic musical skill should be eloboroled upon. Talented students should consolidate to enjoy on d have fun with music.
Suppose that o student were ins p ired by this editorial into toking personal action. Whot is ovoiloble to satisfy his musical ignorance?
The school has ii, ih, ~$5BS$ion several p ionos, an eleetr,c orgen end other instruments. Musico~ instruments olso may be rented from shops at a nominal charge each month. or loaned free with lessons. Outside lessons on a lmost any instrument may be arranged with occredited teachers in Coeur d'Alene and Spokane. The overage fee !or weekly holf-hour lessons is !en dollars each month. One may receive college credits for taking musical instruction !
In this college there are many dozens of students who hove dropped by the wayside on a lready well-perfected talent. Among us are numerous good piano, t rumpet, trombone, and other players.
How would one form o combo? Eosy. Find three other ployers and start wailing and blowing.
Where would one find tho required players to form o balanced group? The a nswe r is - osk people. One would be surprised al the number of students lhot ploy instruments.
A college band , such os o pep bond, should certainly be porl of NIJC. Digging into some of the o ld annuals, one would f ind that NIJC hod, al one time. o bond on par with the University of ldoho·s pep bond, as rated by musical outhorities- S tudents odually ume to NIJC just lo belong to the band. A picture in the first Lowa, dated 1934, showed thot NIJC hod o 17-piece orchestra. Thot wos when the junior college hod less tho n 75 students.
Living in the pas! doesn't really help the present siluotion, though. Next semester , fresh me n , offer your talents for o NIJC band. There is on inslructor available, o, well os some of the larger bond instruments.
Any musical organizotion, particularly an organ ized school band, helps tho school. the enrollment, and helps the individual student. II is up to t he , tudent, though, to go out of his way next semester to help.
Ca ndidates For Office Sho uld Be Posted On Dutie s O f The Job
It seems absurd thot on ind ividua l who is elected to office does not know the firsf thing ab out finances, duties of the office, or general college organization.
And whot is more t ragic thon absurd is !hot, with few oxcep l ion s, almost no candidate makes ony attempt to learn anything obout the office that he is so cleve rly comp11igning for.
No one can be expected to know the ins end outs of all of the elements of on office before actually secu ring it, but it is a blot on o condidote's personal record to have lo odmit that he never even attempted to find out the basic focts.
But it is doubtful that this season's crop of condidotes is any less qualified than those in years past. Those who hove mode the grode before while they held other school office, usually will do an adequate job on some of the higher offices.
Jumping from obscurity to o position of power is almost unneord of in politics outside of school. The candid ate must work years and years before the public will allow him to handle their funds. In school, however, porlicularly in o small one like NIJC , o candidole for an office moy be elected with little or no prior experience.
When voting. one must keep in mind that the men to be elected hove ehorge of the ,tudent body fund s. An unwise decision on on issue by on unwise office holder may come right out of the college purse.

In Defense of Women's Individuality
B y Lo.nom Cam1•ooll
When a wom.a.n marries and has children, a porUon o( her brain appears lo atrophy, and she Is le!l with only su!flclent gray matter to allow her to tend to the needs of her family. She must, rrom that point on, lhlnk and speak only in family language. Any ldenUty that she may ha\'c had goe,; Into hiding, and she Is known aa - simply''Mother."
The family gtows. and the children grow· older. Molhcr becomes Lho molor lhat powers the family. She must be a Den Mother and a ca.mp Fl.re leader. She chauffeurs her chlldren - anti her neighbors' offspring - to dancing Classes and Pee W" League games. She goe,i to PTA, She bakes cakes for the bake llal.e,i and cookies because she I• a Room Motlier. She Is "Mother."
This complete devotion to duty Is unnece8$1lry. No woman need let herself become 11 machine. Jus t 8.8 docs her husband, Mother has a right to recognition. But It 18 her ttsponslblllty lo see that her family does not trammel her In the rush of their activities. She must teach them that some part of h er lime is hers to use and enjoy as •he pleases. Her though ta and desires must be considered In tan\Uy plans. Most or sit, she must have some activity that Is entirely separate from her husband and children.
