Student board delays action • on microwave

by Mull Wheeler

The ASNIC Student Board considered in its Feb. 2- meeting purchasing a micro" ave o,·en to be put in the lounge of the Hedlund Building.

Vocationol Sen. Chris Mulkey said 1h01 the vocationaJ lunchroom needs o microwuve bttt1usc many ,-ocational StUdents cannot offord fuod in the SUB cafeteria and that there is often not enough time for the students to walk o,'Cr there.

There is alread, 11 conventionnl o,·en in the vocational lounge. but Mulke) said it tllkes 100 long to heat the food.

"One sand.. hich wes 15 minuies. so one person out of 3 dass of 30 gets a hot lunch. :uid the rest get cold bologna.·· he said.

Most of the controversy about placing a micro" a~e 10 the room is the concern that metal mny be put in it. C3U!,ing II to be damaged.

"All II takes is one piece of tin to blo" the circuits oot of it.'· financial adVISCr Wes Hatch said.

But Mal.key said that the people using the oven would be mature adults "ho could co re for it proper!,. He added that if metal 1s accidentl)' placed in the micn,wa,e. the person would nodcc 1i before an)'thing damag10g happened to it.

•• 1t makes a lot of sparks. 11rtraets 11rten11on. and then you tllke 11 out.'' Mui.key said.

The board ,oted to have Mulkey check into the types ll!ld prices of microwa,-es and report back 10 the board.

On other marters. the board approved the results of the Feb. 22 ASNIC elections, ma.king way for

Chu~k Whitlock. l\nd Mlke Gagliano to assume the pre<;;1dcnt 11nd v1ce president roles. respectiveh•.

In doing so. l~C board must only go through the largely ceremonial 3Cl of swearing in the two new offici11ls 1n its meeting Monday.

According to board advisor Tony Stewan. Whit· lock g11mcrcd 165 ,·otes in his unopposed race for the presidency. while Gagliano outpointed Bubara Ehardt 122 votes to 74 to tue the vice presidency.

EhArdl re«ivcd 15 vote.Ho Gaglinno·s 14 from the voting booth in the SUB. but Gagliano outdistanced Ehardt J l -8 in the Hedlund Building and 75-51in the Administration Building. Whitlock received 22 votes in the SUB. JJ in the Hedlund Building and 110 in the Administration Building.

ApproximMcly 8.3 percent of NIC's eligible voters cast ballots in 1he election. which is about the same 11s the IC!8J presidential election perceniogc. but short of 1982's 20 percent turnout.

In a Feb. 21 meeting, the board accepted a rccommendntion by the election committee to not a.ppro,,e two amendments to the ASNIC Constitution .ind Bylaws proposed by Stephen Trlnajstkk. thus not allowing him to run for the presidency. (sec related story on page 10) In other action over the last few weeks. the board: -approved an $&SO contract to have comedian Scott Jones perform 111 llflC. • -voted that two amendments drafted by Sen. Andy Rice concerning the KIidow Memorial Scholar· ship Fund be added to the ASN IC Bylaws.

Student transferees urged to gather information now NIC students who plan on tr.111sfer. ring to another college at the end of this semester should collect all their admissions and financial aid informa· tion quickly. according to the NlC Couscling Center personnel.

The counseling center bas much of the information needed concerning deadlines that transferring srudents need to meet before next fall.

A prospective trt1nsfer student should obtain all the informadon and 11pplications immediately. All the pa· perwork. such as housing forms. must be filled out as soon as possible.

Some campuses have a"nilnble not only dormitories for single students. but also npn.rtmcnis for both married and single students. Applications should be sent in early. 3S housing is filled on a first-come. first-ser>·e basis. personnel sa.id.

All students interested in getting finnncial aid from their college should wnte immediateh· to the Director of Finnncia.1 Aid. The deadlines for financial aid apphcations is anywhere from Feb. 1 to early May for most colleges. Money is allocated on a first-come. first-serve basis as well as need.

Many colleges will not :ict on a student's f'inancial aid application until adnussion forms have been sent in and :1ccepted. Therefore. cnn though admission applications arc not due until the summer. it is wise to apply for admission at the same rune you apply for financial aid. according 10 the counseling center personnel.

All NIC students who have questions or need assistance with the t:r11nsfer procedure are ad\'iscd to go to the NIC Counseling Center.

Tntstees, area residents • expansion discuss NIC

by Dan Breeden Scats were scarce ar the Feb. 16 NIC Board or Trusrecs meeting as Fort GrouJ1d residents expressed concern obout NJC"s future erpansion plnns and the possible loss or personal propeny in the campus area.

Or. George G11111precht. spokesman for the residents. wished 10. "e:rtend !he olive branch" toward the board to e;iplain the resident· s stand on the passage or Policy 60.

The Coeur d'Alene City Council several weeks ago voted to accept Policy 60, which lirruts NlC's future expansion plans in the Fon Ground area.

"We support chc programs of NIC," Grumprcclu said, "but wc have some 'funny reehngs' about che board."

QuoUng Crom a 1978 letter which was \cnr to the residents from NIC President Bnrry Schuler. Gumprecht said thar all !merest for the college's cxpaos100 hel. south of Hubbard Street and thar the board was bound by honor to stay wuhin the designated areas.

"We reali.r.e it's nor wri11en in ~cone," Gumprechr ~aid, bu t he added rhac the college ha!. a duty to curb expansion oway from the residential properly set forth in the letter.

Board President Jim Borton a~surcd the citi1ens thnt the expansion that the college ~ns looking at wa~ at least 20 years down the road.

On another Issue, the board instructed the administration to write a policy concerning the ~ of NlC's v3ns and buses . The policy was prompted by a van accident three weeks ago and the board"s decision to appropriate money in the 1985 budget to purehasc a full-size bus for the college.

The board voted to replace the o.recked van with a leased vehicle until 3 decision is made as 10 what type of vehicle to buy in its place Schuler cited four possible replacement vehicles that include a fourwheel-drive Suburban, a front-wheel drive sport van. an eight-passenger station wagon or anothe r 12· to l S-pa!>senger van.

However. Barton proposed that the policy concerning the use of 1he vehicle, especially during winter months. should be wrinen before a replacement vehicle is purchased.

In other action. the board: -approved th e ASNJC's request 10 spend SI.JOO in upgrading the computer di,c system and purchasing new softwnre.

-accepted rhe resignation of nursing Instructor Dianne Kinzel.

-approved S6.4SO for 3J grants-innid.

by Dan Breeden

Wil h just o few d:ws remain• ing in his term or office. ASN IC PrcsidenL Lee Cole ha~ been experiencing malicious h:1r:1ssment both on and off campus.

Even though Cole states that the problems stem from II personal nnture. he has admitted that it has not m11de his position on campus aJI)' easier.

According to Cole. he h~ had his wi~dshield broken and his car spray pa~nted. as well as physic:il oherca11ons and obscene phone calls.

.. , can live with this guy being ffllld :u me." Cole said, "but I csn't take

the sneak 01111clts. I e3n·1 ta.kc him beating on things th3t c.,n't defend Lhcmselves and that C3n't tell him 10 len,e them alone." ..The gu) definite!) needs a ch.loge or anirude," Cole :added.

The man resporu.ible for the ntucb has 11dmincd 10 the acts when confronted by Cole. but Cole said the police M\'e their hands leg3lly tied.

E\·crytimc Cole has had a run-in

with the harasser. he has filed a report.

The paperwork has bttn tedious.

Cole i.aid. but he is st.ming to see results. A llo"31T3Jll was 1!>Sued on Feb 16 for a suspect's IUTCSl, and a heanng d:ite 11,,JJ be set t0 the near future.

"The pouce ha,e done C\erything theJi can." Cole sa.td. "lUld the cit} attornCJi \l":I.S very helpful. MJi only real concern is 10 get my 11oindshield replacement paid for."

According 10 Cole. the assailant is

a student at NIC, but he said he has seep him on campus several umcs. " NIC secunt)' people do Lhe best job they can for the amount of money they ha11e, .. Cole s:ud, "but more security would we more money. and 1h01 is something NIC doesn't hove."

Although Cole seems sympathetic to all the legali1ies ond complicotions involved, he has nor given up on the maner.

"Somelhing has 10 be done before someone ends up in the bospi1al."

Letters to the editor

dawn murphy

The write luck I procrastinate. I'll admit it. I mentolly organize all of my appointments, deadlines and things that should be done.and then I start 10 put some of them off, especially if they don't directly effect me.

It's easy 10 do. I don't think that I am in ,·iolalion of society's norm. however. I think just about everyone has a little proc:rastimuor sitting on his or her shoulder.

I see the litlle devils everywhere poking at their hosts. encouraging them 10 procrastma1c and put off gelling involved in issues.

Usually when it comes down to issues such as the state funding of NIC, students feel that they will be gone from here before the benefits of gelling involved are fell at the college.

This could possibly be true, but who is going 10 do it? ff every generation that passes through NIC puts off writing to their legislators 10 help them realize NlC's financial need, the college may never be represented in Boise.

The legislators need 10 know what we want, and they need to know that more than just the president of the college wants it.

Idaho is a state in which four or five letters sent to a legislator on the same issue can make an impact.

I am told that one high school wrestling coach used 10 encourage his team by telling them that "luck is when preparation meets opportunity. ·• The opportunity is here; shrug the pesky procrastinator from the shoulder and write a few leuers. Members of the faculty and administration are already doing it.

I realize that leuer writing is one of tile most neglect.ed duties among the human race. It takes a few minutes and writing on an issue takes some investigation, but as college students we should be knowledgeable about the issues that affect our instirution anyway, right?

It's never 100 late to dive at an opporrunicy and prepare ourselves 10 gel lucky.

I am considered the head of my household. at NIC I have the same pay ns any man with my experience and education. I can run fanher than most men I know aod I have the respect of my friends, stude nts, and colleagues. which is based oo me ns nn individual. 001on me as a me mber of the feminine sex.

Or so I thought un til last night when the words of a teammate, not a coach. came across the basketball coun. " Janet, Barbie, you' re out: Kevin and Randy are here:· I was automatically ordered out of the game. not because I was rired. not because I was playing poorly. but because boys showed

up who. it W!\S assumed, could naturally play better than I. I realize this is a fairly minor incident when it comes 10 women's rights. but I don't take well to discrimination of nnv sort. What angers me most of ·au is th11t I. instead of refusi.og to leave the game. docile!) s tepped 10 the sideline. I am angriest a1 myself for auto matically obeying someone who had no authority O\'er me or the team: he was just a male telling me what to do, and 1, withou t thinking. did as I was told.

Well. for me. it won't happen again. It is my hope that all women will sharpen their awareness and realize immediately, no matter how insignificant the situaLion seems, when they are victims of discrimination and a1 that very point take their own stand.

Finland tour on spirit's list Dear Editor: Some years ago "bile traveling in Spain. I met a fa mous Finnish author nod na tu ralis t. He ~pun mllr\°elous toles about living In Lapland. Lapps nre lmow n for their "izardry. and literature has pictured the m since the time of Shakespeare as people who. with ~rcery and contacts with the spirit world, can change the courses of men.

One story of this Finn concerned his building a sauna on what had been a Lapp burial j?r()und. No matter what he did, he could not get the boiler and the pipes to hold water. Even stranger, there never was any indication of water leaking out. It just disappeared.

Finally, his friend, a Lapp sha· man, told him that unless he got the pe rmission of the Spirit of the lake to use the water. he would never be able to enjoy his steam bath. And so, with the help of the Lapp. the F'Lnn entreated the spirit successfull y to let him use th e water.

The NJC Programs Abroad Office now finds itself in a similar predicame nt - apparentl y the spirits of Lapland are resisting our

entrance into their domain. Can their powers rench all the way to Idaho? Judge for yourself.

Two times the NIC Informational Services press releases omitted information on our Finland pro· grams - not intcntionolly.. .it just happened. When that office went all out to rectify this situation, and planned to use some photos with n special story on the programs, not one photo turned out! The story we nt out to the Coe ur d'Alene Press. which then sot on it for over two weeks, thus losing valuable ad vertising time.

To top it all off, the Feb. J issue of the Cardinal Review thoroughly garbled the story about the two Finland study-tours. No doubt its readers were completely confused.

Would not this scenario make you a bit suspicious?

If you and your readers are re.ally interested in the programs we offer in Finland next summer, probably the best thing to do is drop by Room A-30 for information - that is. if it all has not been spirited away.

Sincerely yours, Leona L. Hassen Director. NIC Proerams Abroad

'Oliver!'

Musical comedy with a twist

by Kwt.11 Ball There is so mething brewing in NlC's drama department, and it's not qwte cooventiooal...but it promise~ 10 be a good deal of fun . h is "Oliver!" a musical comedy based on the novel, " Oliver Twist'' by Charles Dickens. According 10 Di· rector Bob Moc. the play is uocooven· tional in that it utilizes an "environ· mental concept'' lO mak_e the audience more a part of lhe scene than a more eoovcotiooal production would.

"Oliver ! .. is different from ao average musical comedy at NIC i.o that entcnairirneot will be provided in the lobby of the C-A Building before the show. and the cast of I.he production will make their entrances lhroug.h the audience iLSClf. Moc said .

Also. an 11-picce orchestra under the direction of Michael Klesen wiJI be \·1~ible 10 the audi e nce . and the orchestra members will be dressed in costumes like the clo thes worn in London in 1850. Moc said..

He added that a special extension has been built onto the stage in the C·A Auditorium to bring the play itself almost into the audience.

The play centers on the exploits and mishaps ol a poveTty-stickco young boy, Oliver. i.o mid-19ih-Cent:ury loo·

don . Oliver goes through a series of ordeals ranging from being sold by a workhouse boss to being taken in by a wealthy family, before re aching a bittersweet ending.

Production of ''Oliveri" has been. and is, a test of the abilities of both the cast and lhe staff. Moe said.

He added th a t the production is progressing enremely well.

"We are extremely fortunate 10 have a cast of leads that are all very suong." Moc said. "Each one bas had a gre.it deal of stage experience."

Some of the cast of "Oliver!" a.re Bra_ndon Emery as Oliver; Rex Doig· ner as Fagin; Erik Henderson as The ArtfoJ Dodger; Dennis Craig as Bill Sites: Karen Moc as Nancy: and John Waugh as Mr. Bumble.

The staff includes Stuart Crutchfield as assistant director and stage manag· er; Oco.nis Craig as vocal director: ~s Baird as set designer and tccbn1cal director; John Hughes as assistant technical director; and Carol Wood· bury as choreog,apher.

'Never Cry Wolf' or say cheese to an Eskimo

by Craig Johnson The first woman cut a bole in the ice from which she pulled Tuktu or canl>ou for the lnnuh people to hunt. . .

But the huo1ers killed only the biggest and strongest animal so the herds soon became ww and susceptible to disease. .

The lnnuits ~·cot to the first woman and uk.ed for help. She cut another hole m the ice from which she pulled Amuko or wolf who hunted only the weakest animals.

Then there "'' as plenty for everyone. A stasis was reached.

"Never Cry Wotr• is about the caribou. wolf and the lnnuit wa)· of lire which is rapidly disoppearing.

It is about the interrelationship between man and his environment. It is abotlt time we all went to see it.

In this beautifully photogruphed mo,•ie a m.:in, Tyler. an intelligent, sensitive misfit in society, is sent to study the wolves to see if they arc responsible for decimnting the caribou herds.

If Tyler finds thnt this is the case. the wolves must be destroyed. from the ume a bush pilot SClS him down on the middle of a frozen l:tke, we ltn<J\' that Tyler is out of his clement.

If not for the kindness of a mysterious lnnui1 named Ootelc, Tyler would have died the first night out.

The power of nature and her indifference toward man is illustrated by some of

Al:islla's most rugged cououy.

ln £act. Tyler is so for nonh th.it the only radio smion he receives is broadcast in Russia.

As he is tn1.nsformed from green horn to mountain man, the curious life of the Sllvngc yet often playful "·olf unfolds around the panor:uruc scenel') of ··Lu pis Base I." Tyler is able to establish his niche in this hostile environmen1 only after he decides to abandon the ineffectual rules society taught him.

Not so maogely, be establishes his territory the Slime way the woh·es do, by urinating an in"isible fence.

Scenes like this and the one in which he munches mouthfuls of miC('. bones and all. to sec if they could sustain a full-grown ~'Olf. arc wnnn-heaned and humorous.

Bm other scenes "'·here he dreams of being anacked by wolves - a symbol huer defined by Ootek as the ritual of giving the wol"es his heort so that they "ill become bis benefaetor - and the scene where he falls through the ice and sinks 30 feet to the bonom of the lake, are justifiably terrif);ng.

The contrast always points 10 the noLion that the life of a man. when stripped d0\\'11 to the essentials Thore:tu spoke of in "Walden:· is the same ns that of "'olvcs.

Student loses fight to run for ASNIC presidency

by Rlc J. Kast An NIC ~tudent failed in his anempt to obtain a coun injuncuon to stop last week's ASNIC elec-ttons.

Stephen Trinajstick. who had e:i rlier been denied an application to ru n for the ASN IC presidenC). appeored before the student election romm.ittee fh e days before the election. repeating his threat to stop lhe elections with II court injunction if the committee wou_ld not agree 10 stop the elections.

Trinajstick, 35, had enrlier asked the boa.rd to cha nge the portions of the cons titution that disallowed bis running for the offic-e of president. and the board referred the mottcr 10 the election committee.

The parts !hat Ttinojstick wanted changed were Article 4. Oause 5. which states that the candidate must have ha d a m1rumum of 10 credit hours w-ith a 2.0 grade point average the previous semester and Section 7. Q ause l , which limits the campaign spending to SJO. The election committee held a specinl committee hearing on Feb. 17 to hear Trinajstick's testimony.

Attomey Ray Givens. the board's attorney. stated thot the specini meeting was not an obligatory meeting and was held in special considerntion of Trin:ijstick.

Trioajstkk, wbo asked the committee 10 impose an injunction order to stop the upcoming elections. s1aned his testimony with a threat to sue Mark Wheeler. a reporter and news edi1or for the Cardi:nal Re"ie". and the Cardin3.I Revie" for libel.

He ,toted that Wheeler's co,·crage of the pre,•ious board meeting tha t appeared in the Feb. 17. 1984 pubh-.uion. left 1he readership with the impression tha1 he (Trin.ajstickJ was incnp.ible of achieving the required 2.0 CPA for the pre,ioU5 semester. lie then asked the rommincc to recommend to the student board that scvernl arc.:is of the constitution be changed.

His proposnls included eliminating the eligibility requirements that a student must be enrolled in 10 semester credits and receiving a 2.0 GPA at the semester immcd.i11tely prior to running for presidlent or vice president. raising the SJO c.impaign spending

linut and lh11l no election become valid without a ~oter par\icipat.ion turnout of at least 87.S percent.

This. he said. would cure the apllth)' on campus.

ToO) S!L'wart. fncultJ adviser to the student board and election commmec member. told Trln3jstick that the committee had no power to change the constitution or the bylaws, but could only make recommendations to the board.

After the meeting. Tim Pilgrim. faculty adviser to the Cardinal Review. said he would wait to see if the threat of legal action would actUally be carried out. ' 'A lawsult ls llk.e 11 mountain brook." Pilgrim said, "it's one thing to babble along: h's quite another to take out the bridge.'· Da"''D Murphy, CR editor. said th.at she had reviewed the t.apcs or the srodent board meeting that resulted in Wheeler's article and found the article to be accurate. ''I've listened to the tape. aod the Card ina l Review stands behind Wheeler's story," Murphy said.

We "ere dipped and battered in an oatmeal-like goo and lived to tell about It.

Mud wrestling is not the cushy job it i~ popularly cooked up 10 bt-. but it does have a certain Wte to it. which keeps us comrng bad for more.

Upon nrs t entering Popeye's io Priest River, we v, ere confronted "'itb walls which "ere CO\ered b}' thin sheet.s of plastic and a waJt,,.ay of plastic leading from the f>.by-6 foot square box which was 4 inches deep with the "mud," which consisted of flour. wate r. corn starch and food coloring. At least it seemed to bt- mud.

However, when this stuff hardened. h was like Elmer's Glue. and when it got wct again. it becrune like fresh Elmer's Gluc.

The stuff fel t like snot if you "'ant 10 get technical.

We stepped 1n10 the pit. and beJjc, c 11 or not. the goop didn't feel all thn1 bad. Besides. we'd heard this stuff was great for the comple.iion. so v. hile we were out there puning on a shov., we got facials in the process.

So, there we were facing each other at last. And the fr:intic :iudience e:q,ec1ed us to roll in it. and roll in h we did. Bv the end of the fim match v.·e were dipped and battered until we were ready to be fried.

"Rob her face in it" was the most popular among the crowd. They really wanted to see some mean fighting, while we were just out there to h.ave some fun and give the audience a good laugh. Anyway, it w:is harder than hell to pin any opponent down when we could barely move in the slimy stuff.

We spent half of lhe match trying to get a grip on each other.

Rape Crisis is staffed by volunteers.

They nssist womeo by educating them in methods of rnpe prevention and self-defense, and if a woman is raped. they will act as her advocate during the crisis.

If a woman Is Bped, she can either report it to the authorities or call Rape Crisis at 667-RAPE. She will be encouraged to go to the hospit:31 for an examination. and a deputy will transport her.

If she wants a woman with her during the inteniew. a volunteer from Rape Crisis will meet her ar rhe hospital. according to Wheelock.

Roxy Wilson, coordinator for Rape Crisis. explained that ,'Olunteers must remain on neutral g round. They cannot go to the scene of the crime. but if the victim decides not to go to the hospital, they ca.o meet her at 11 resuorant ro ta.fl:.

Women wbo ha.ve been raped are encouraged 10 go to the hospitnl so they can be tested for pregnancy and vencraJ disease. and if they decide to prosecute, the evidence collected daring the examinntian "ill be needed in court. she said.

Although the sex-crime kit used to collect evidence is free, 1he ,ictim is responsible for her hospi1a! bill. The charge depends on the length of time it takes to complete the examination. and the cost varies from S90 to S200.

Wilson said.

Wbllte,et the elrcumstance of the rape. the victim needs to communicate wi1h someone. She needs to 1ell someone 1bou1 what hnppened. Wnile Rape Crisis advocates are no1 counselors. they can ofrer short-term emotional support. and provide a list of o.dequate counselors if necess11ry.

Wilson s:iid.

She said ra pc is a crime of violence. and a woman who is raped should ne,·er feel guilty be<:ause it is not her fouh. But nei1her should she feel guihy about anything she does to sun'i,·e 3 rape situation. " Every person has 11 right to do whatever they wnnl 10 do. but tho.1 doesn't give anyone else the right to infringe on them.·· Wilson said.

Bowe-er, Wilson stressed the ..SAFE" approach 10 rape prevention: -Secure your home, car and personal life against intrusion by a.n 3Siailant.

-Avoid places lllld siluations which make you an easy target.

-Flee if an attack is una\"Oido.ble.

-Engage if you cnnnot nee. You may engage ei1her in combat y;·i(b the attacker or in 1olenition of the nss:iult, depending on your best judgment the safo1y and opponunitics available to you.

State vocational funds likely to he increased

Taco Time Special

by Don Sauer NIC's vocalionnJ department is expecting its first increase in funding from ihe slate in three years, accord· ing 10 Vocaliooa.l Direct.or Clarence Haught.

Haught said that for the first time he can remember, the State Board of Bducation approved the school's budget requests almost exactly as they were proposed.

The governor provided additional support by approving nearly tbe some budget as the state board, Haught Sllid. This is unusual since the gover· nor's budget is normally much lower than the board's, he added.

When the Legislature approves the final budget. Its figure is usually somewhere between the o,nes proposed by lhe state board and the governor, but it appears that this year things will be a bit different, Haught said.

"There is no middle ground for lhe Legislature to compromise this year, unless they cut below both lhe state board and the gove.rnor ," Haught said, "and l really doubt that they will do that because the emphasis is on tduc&iion in the Legislature this year:' Haught said that two years ago U1e depanment lost an instructor tn office occupations and a part-time bookkeep-

e r lo budget culs . The forestry progrllJIJ wns also cut, but Haught said this was due to laok of students rather than fund.s.

"1l1is yenr we have not lost anything du e to budget reductions," Haught said, Hbut we did not get any increases i.n funding either."

He said that the increased J984-85 fuods. which become available in July, will really amount to "calch-up" funding that would allow the school to get back 10 where il belongs.

A lot or equipment is needed lo teach vOClltional education. Haught said. and the t·ools nl NIC are showing their age.

Equipment funds for the 198J-84 school yea r amounted to around S20,000 which is dowu from the 1976 te,•el of S Hl0,000. Haught said. This coming year he expects to get somewhere in the neighborhood of SS0,000 in equipmem funds.

Attorney general's hill would benefit criminals b) RicJ. Kast Idaho State Allorney General Jim Jones bas proposed legislation that 15 supposed to proYide financial compensation to vietims of crime - a promise made by Jones in the 1980 elections.

That promise remains unfulfilled.

What Jones 1s ca.lling an economic compens.auon bill that comes complete with a 13-point '"victim's bill of rights,·· 1s nothing more lhao a bad joke.

According 10 his proposal. victims of crime ,,,ould receive eamomic compensation from the person v.ho committed the crime. Responsibil~ for ~tung an amount and mandating restitution will be left up to the couns as pan of the sentencing procedure. Jones said.

Initially, tb1s leaves the victim looking up a blind alley for financial compensation fur Lbings like time loss from work. medical bills and months nr e,·en years of emotional rehabilitation with no promises of ever overcoming the traumatic experience or collecting the money.

The perpetrator afterall, ~ill most likely be in prison for years and will be unable to make any '· economic compensation.'· One wonders if Jim Jones would li.kC' to be the person to tell a 23-year-old waitress ~ho is married and has one child and who has just been raped at gun point "not 10 worry." for the ,'tllia.n will make economic restitution for her medical bills and monC'y loss due to time missed from work - just as soon as he gets through serving :i few years in prison. gets rehabilitated, finds o job and stans mailing in the restitution paymems.

Come on - get out of town.

The stal.e 0£ Idaho spends S2 million per year on attorneys defending the criminals. but 11<:cordlng to Jones. the Stale 11pp:irently docs:n "t need to be concerned ...-ith the shambles that the criminals left behind by his dim dee~.

Afterall. i!'s onC' thing 10 order re.rurution 10 be paid, but it's quite another to enforce the actual payment. . • l.annoo's bill Is u1ilored llfter a Montana bill that paid out $366.000 last year to victims of crime.

"The victims of crime" need up-front help."

Lannen said dunog a recent phone interview. ··My proposal offers that...

Lannen's proposaJ would mandate that the state pay 2 'J of the victim's wages with a ceiling of Sl25 per week. The bill would also provide

payment of m_edical bills in the absence of insurance held by th~ ,,ctlm. Additionally. Lanoen·s propoul has n ma:umum amount of S25,000 for each victi To raise the ~.()00 to S500.000 per year t:."t Lannen has esumatcd this legislntion to cost, he suggested thnt S2 be added to every misdemeano and felony line paid in the courts. r The money would create enough lo run the progrnm. lt would be pla~-cd in n new suue account called. "Crime Victim Account,'' according to Lannen.

As Lannon admllll, even his proposal foils short of truly toking care of victims of crime. and he calls it a ··modest effort ...

Bui as Lnnncn pointed out. Idaho has never taken cnre of the crime victims in the pasi and "one must c rawl before wnlklng." We should npplaud the effor ts of Sen. Lannen a nd urge the Idaho LcglslC11ure 10 approve his proposed crime victim compensntion bill.

The victi ms of cri me hove been so blatantly disregnrded up to now that lt is vital to toke positive step, toward taking care or those innocent victims who hove trnditlonnlly tnken rhe bock sent in our justi~ sysrem while we fork out literally millions of dollars every yea r protecting the righ ts of the criminal a nd suppo rting him ofter fina lly being found guilty.

Stlll.e Attorney General Jim Jones' propo~ed compensation bill is only another slap in the victim's face - something he would have the voters of 1his state consider " fulfilling a 1980 campaign promise."

He also snid th:H they will have to keep Ricks' talented renter. Mnn1yn Harmer, awny from ihe boards.

Crimp ooted chat Ricks will oot be the only thl'Cllt ro NlC nt regionals because the College of Southern Idaho will n.lso have a strong team.

Making the best of the biggest blowout ever My mother always asks the same question.

Wbenever a team is out of the game. down by a large margin with only a few ticks left. she says. '"Wby are they still trying? The game's over no,.,. lnitfaUy. her logic a.Iways seems absurd to me. but when l think on it for a moment it would almost make sense for the losing team to just concede and call the final moments of the contest off. That wo11ld be the easiest thing 10 do.

But, ultimatel)• I decide thai the best thing the losing team c:ao do is to continue their effort to save face. show some cbaracter and make the best of a blowout.

After all. effort is possibly the most import.ant

aspect of sports. Effon and its results are what make spons interesting. Effort is what keeps the world going.

I hope world leaders ca.a take a lesson from the 1ea:m that keeps going. although its fate has already been decided.

However. in their case. world leaders 11.'0uld show much more c:ha.racter aod effort by conceding In the final moments than by continuing to destroy the world when the outcome of the " 'at bas already been decided.

They co11ld do the bravest thing by calling their own game quits by Sll\'ing their retuliatory strike and not ruining the entire race. Or they could do the most

willy weech selfish thing by playing the game out until the end. the end of the world th.at is.

Maybe my mom is right after all. Sometimes a team can show the most ch&racter, save face (the face of the earth). and male the best of • blowout by simply calling it quits while there is still time left on the doc:l.

Last year. the Cards placed third at nationals. Three of this yea r' s team members competed at nationals last year.

Having 10 NIC wrestlers competing at nationals ,..;u be a plus. since they should be able to win a high number of team point5. Owen said.

The Cardinals totaled 118. 75 points at Regionals. while Clackamas. its nearest competitor. totaled just 6-US. During the rwo-day lOUnlament. NJC wrestlers lost only rwo matches.

Tom Phelon (167 pounds) followed cwo pins with a decision in the finals to earn the tourney·s outstanding wrestler honor.

Teamma te Steve Kluver (158) pinned all three of his tournament opponents. and Mark McKe.nna ( 118) also scored an impressive win.

Joining Phelon. Kluver and McKenna at notionals arc freshmen Da\e Singletel') ( 126). Steve Meckel {134) and Bl)'CC Hall (142).

Randy TaM ( 150). Ro\· Oeser (I nJ. Carl ton. PC3SC (190) 3nd he3vyweight Dan Kobold also have been assured berths at the national tournamen1.

Although rhe en ct names of their competitors " 'ill not be known until tod!!y. Owen expects all the regions from across the nation 10 be well represented. Most of NIC-s opponents will be from the Easlern United St:11es.

Owen said.

The NIC squ3d run up its winning stre:ik to 72 stl'3ight duBl matches this season, Owen said. The Cardi nals "Tapped up 3 third consecutive season without a dual-m3tdl loss.

Owen snid the team has shown a grc3t improvement since the start of the season because the team members worked very hard. ..They ha\e a lot of good practice habits - good social habits ... he said.

"They don't need a coach to over· emphasize practice all the time. " We won't do anything very different nt na1ion3ls. we'll just look at it as another tournament. and go out and wrc:s, le our be.st.'·
