Space is being utilized bcuer. she said, and the coUege has remodc.led Seiter Hall for bcncr

Trustees plan for large enrollment

by Randall Graen

Sizzling summer temperatures added LO registration heat as classe$ filled up fastone of NIC's many growing pains di~5Scd at the Board ofTrustttS oierungAug. 2S According to Dr. Raymond Young, consultant for NIC's rcccm l.ong range pWlll· ing study. the college will continue to experience steady grov.'th III mrollmmt. The 1988 fall semester enrollment figures arc something Da,id undla), dean of studcnu, said is causing the college some growing pa.ins that will n:,qwre imcmive care and diagnostic foresight.

Dr. Young summarized extensive survey results by sa)ing that the report a.lso m·ealed a lack of widespread knowledge, in the surrounding p0pula11on c:entm ID tilt Inland Northwest. about NIC and its curricula. In addition. he said uw a steady m· crease in hard costs (expenditures) is threatening to converge v.ith revenue, resulung in fewer and fewer dollars for equipment and program initiath cs in the future.

"The inevitable solution is expansion of the college's ta.-cing districi to include all five northern counties,'' Young said.

Dr. Robert Benneu. president, said one or the collcge·s goals is to IJ) harder to reach rural areas and small business by app0in1ing an appropriate tasl.. force to spread the word. According to Lindsay. however. those who arc interested in finding out about NI C arc doing so. He said the 1988 enrollment figures are just bdov. the record high figures of '82. The long lines of student5 trying 10 get into overbooked classes looked like a sold-ou t rock concert, one student said. Llndsa)' complimented those

st.aff members"' ho v.'Orkcd through the Ions and difficult regular registration session.

"The school LS s!TCSSed from cnrollmeni."' Lindsay said.

H~c:. members of the board v.ere quicl.. to compliment the efforts of the enure swr. Lindsay summed up the irony by snying that that enrollment success durlllJ rcgi.st.ranon means tb11t some students won "t get the classes they wan1ed.

The 1988-89 bud~t was another key topic discussed. Bnlanced and approved unarumOU51), 11 refiecis the sol\ency of the college nt 1hc present, Dr. Young said.

The board unanimously 1pprO\ed a proposal by Tim Stein. son or Auxiliary Scr\'XXS Direaor UM) Sto.n, 10 rcpl:l.cc playground equipment nt the campus pre-school.

Tim has secured donauons of mataials from ldnho Forest lndumtcs. Labor will be provided b~ him and fcllo,.. scouu from Troop 228.

Last on the agendll was a confusing issue about how to disperse o unantlc1po1cd budget surplus to MC emplo)ccs. Dr. Bcnneu prop0sed the S8S,OOO 10 be distributed ti I 398 percent of gross snl.uy to all stnff employed on 111 least :i SO percent bosii

before Jul) I. 1988. Disclll1ion from faculty rcprcscnta tivei resulted in temporary pos1p0ncmcnt of Bcnncu's proposal.

, Next year. Nelson said, they hope 10 buy more computers and in a fcw years do away with the old Apple PCs and use IBM compatibles. "'In thduturc I would like to sec 150-200 computers on campus.•• he said.

Other than the computer labs on cam· pus. Roger Brockhoff. director of the ph)'Skal plant, and his crew have been bUS)' with other renovations n.round campus.

Remodeling within the Hedlund Building consisted of converting the student lounge into three oftice spaces and three receptionist areas. The lounge is now in the silting area on 1hc first noor. The cost for this was approximately SI0.000.

Other renovations included enlargement in the C-A music practice wing in order 10 accommodate the new Steinway Grand Piano. The doors entering into the stage of the auditorium needed 10 be v.ideoed io order 10 get the Steinway on stage. The cost

ror enlargement v. as appro~imatel) SI0,000.

Parts of Seiter Hall also were reno\'ated.

The physics lab has been remodeled. offi« space has been added and furniture was purchased. This totaled about SI0,000.

These renovations ha,·e all been appropriated funds by the college. The following have been funded by the Idaho State Department of Public Works.

The Winton Buildmg was paillted and rcroofed. whkh was appro.umatcly S7, 700.

Phase I of a Computerized Energy ~lanagcmeot System was completed. The project included work on Seiler Hall and the Lee Admmisu-ation Building., This will be ongoing throughout t.he year on various areas around campus.

The parking area bctv. een the student union building and gymnasium V."l!.S resurfaced and restriped for approximately S20.000.

Another project that is underway is the resurfacing and repair of the tennis courts.

The funds have been appropriat.cd at S9.900 for this project.

Renovations o,er the summer created a bright sp<>t on campus at the Sherman Residence Hall Building. Approximately S2.000 "'ere allocated from the auxilary budget for facilit) impro~cmeots. This included painting the outside of the building, hallwa}'S and stair;. ell.s, the gameroom and the 1ele,is1on lounge. The curbs were also pamled and plants and p1coic tables purchased at the cost of S900.

Future facelifts on campus include a.s1hetic unpro~ements around campus, Brock.hoff said.

"This is just ID the planning stages I.hough," be said.

We need approval from the board of trustees before anything else."'

Academe sues itself Controversy and now connict, like a virus, is dcstro)ing 3 relattonship on campus that should be a symbiotic one. NIC's Board or Trustees and the Associated Students (ASNIC) have locked horns m the dispute over ho"" student fees should be used.

The impending lawsuit could change future precedence for ho"" other community colleges in this state (only one other exists: The College or Southern Idaho) can use student fees . Although the board's auorney, StC\·c Wetzel, is following proper procedure to secure a hearing for a judge's ruling on the case, it forces ASNIC to be the defendant. The irony here lies in the fact that NIC {the board of trustees) seems to be suing itself (ASNIC) since it controls the budget for the student government. As a result it very well could pro\e to be a no-win situation.

President Robert Bennett admitted that the initial demand last spnng from llf-------'=~:::"-:=1>::c:;:::i-:::D:::.._~ ASNIC put the board on the defensive. Understandably so, be reasoned that the $279,645 is a sizable amount to squander away. The demand was to return the money to students who were charged a $10/semestcr fee inititated b) past ••~ - - - - - -- -- - ---' president Barry Schuler in 1982-an improbable task.

The grounds for such a demand stemmed from the questionable lcgalit} of the fee, which was designed 10 provide mone}' for a nc"" tracl.. and sparu facility, according to past ASNIC representatives. Interpretation of the Idaho Code is the major goal for the legal action. according to Bennett.

Yet, an attempt was made by incumbent ASNIC president Mar) Jo Hansen 10 come to a gentlemen·t)rpe agreement that would table the matter until legislators could get another respected opinion on the interpretation of the

A5NIC /

r

SlalUlC.

Acoording 10 Hansen, the proposal fell on deaf cars. Although Bennel! has dropped his initial proposal to increase the fee to S21. the board is moving s,..,iftly to subdue the protest and proceed with plans for capital improvements on a number of much needed projects around campus.

Hansen is mustering whatever resources she can from an already skinny budget . ASNIC attorney Norman Gissel said resultant attorney's fees could possibly consume its (ASNJC) whole budget. In addition. Gissel questioned why should students spend their hard-earned dollars protecting their hardearned dollars-a point worth consideration.

Until the scheduled hearing on Oct. 7 when Judge Richard Magnuson will hear the case. the outcome of this conflict will continue to be in question.

Now the issue has become a matter of principle.

Whatever the outcome. NJC students have the right to know bow the fe1:5 arc spent. Although the initial protest and demand by ASNIC was not "''ell thought out and improbable to implement. students should thank them for questioning the legality of the original fee proposal. Past president Schuler was known for dreaming up ways to spend student's money that proved beneficial to only a few , evidenced by the scandal that surrounded bis resignation.

It is a recognized fact that NIC is experiencing some serious growing pa.ins and is in desperate need of all available funds for expansion and improvements.

However, if the board of trustees tries to ramrod policy down students throa.ts, forcing them to assume too much financial burden for the so called "shared" responsibility, it is going to lose all suppon from the student body and community. This would be a grave mistake.

Since NlC is a communit y college, it does not receive full suppon from the state as do other colleges. lnstead. it is at the mercy of the local tax base, which already is dismally repressed.

A communication breakdown by the student government and the board seems to be one of the culprits spreading the suspicion and ill feelings. It is obvious that NJC is going to have to grow to meet the increased demand on facilities and, as Hansen said, most students probably wouldn't care if the money in question was used for those purposes. However, ASNIC may ha ~ to learn to present student concerns in a more diplomatic way and 1he board realize that students won't stand for steamroller politics. They must work tog~thcr if this college is going to provide a congruent and positive academic environment.

by randall green

Student, staff input welcomed in Sentinel As this summer vacation came 10 a close, I expected to see a 101 or disappointed faces. However, I noticed 1he complete opposite v. hen I drove on10 campus Monda y morning.

I hope aU the positive expressions J'veseen the pa51 rew weeks will last all year, and ir they don't, I hope students will let the Sentinel know why.

One or the goals or the Sentinel naff this yea r is 10 express 1he in1erests , ideas and problems throughout 1be campus. If you, as a siudent or faculty member, would like to read about a certain campus issue or project, let us know. We will do our best to accommodate your requests.

As your '88 Sentinel news editor, I plan 10 focus the majority or news stories on campus events and, a large portion or 1he feature anicles will concentrate on s1uden1 and staff profiles . Possibly, one or you reading

my column will be reatured in the nat issue of the Sentinel. Furthermore, if you know of an interesting person or issue on campus, contact the Sentinel at ext. 388 and give us your ideas.

If you have comments or questions on any of the stories in the Sentinel, write them down and turn them into the Sentinel office in the Sherman School. We will publish your letters in our Letters to the Editor section-we may edit your leuers ir necessary (see letters policy on Page 4).

While many of you will be busy, as most college students and college employees are, I hope each or you will take time to read the Sentinel.

A lot or useful and imponant stories, notices and general information is found in i1-so don't be left in the dark.

A new issue or the Sentinel will be in print every 1wo weeks, so v.atch for us and good luck lru\ semester.

Three weeks into the semester and daydrcalll5 of summer's pleasures and a(henrurcs still divert my anc:ntion from my classroom ~ponsibiiitics.

Friends, co-workers remember Joyce Boswell

by Forrest Hale For many on campus nnd in the communi1y. Joyce Boswell was a loynl friend and an able instructtor who lived fully each moment. Her July death after an 18-monlh battle with cancer left behind a sense of loss.

What set Boswell apart. spccch instruc1or Mona Klinger said, was her addiction 10 teaching. Her way of living also sci her apart-she threw everything into each experience, Klinger said.

Long before the cancer was discovered in 1987, on instruc1or asked BoswcU 10 write her own eulogy.

Describing her philosophy, she wrote: "I envisioned her (own) an1icipa1ion 01 n new venture, pausing a brief SC· cond to absorb the momenl, lhen plunging deep 10 surface wi1h sure s1rokcs toward the next bank. Yes, it 1s so perfect for 1h1s is 1hc wny she lived her life." She frcquenll)' said, "You can·1 step in 1hc same ri\'ertwice. •· 1don '1 think she ever 1es1ed 1h1s hypothesis: she was 100

"She accepted us where we were and asked the same of us. "

To political science instruc1or Tony Stewart, who was her neighbor for 14 years, she was "total energy" and would awake early in the morning to CJlcrcisc al 1he club, swim and play tennis.

Record review

Chapman voice in musical wilderness

by David Gunter The year 1988 may welJ be remembered as the Ycar of Tracy Chapman. The 24-ycar-old songwriter was named Be.ii New Artis1 by Rolling Stone magazine during a summer that saw her self-titled debu1 album en1ering the charts running and climbing in10 the No. J slor in Jus1 over eigh1 wcckJ. Chapman's dizzying climb 10 lhe top is far from typical. especially considering she writes and plays tn a style that mirrors the foll: era of 1he '60s.

From the first, spare, acoustic guitar chords 1ha1 open the album, 1he tone is se1 for this journey-on• vinyl. On every song, ii 1s the singer and her sure. handed rythym guitar playing 1ha1 ae1 as cornerstones for the insrrumcntal arrangements.

Lyrically, Chapman comes acioss as a person with more 10 say 1han 1he standard rong form allows. Her delivery weaves through and rebounds off the changes, leaving her almost breathless In keeping up with the pace ,he scu for herself.

Our unlike early folk singers Ukc Dylan. whom she 1oured wilh as an opening ac1 this su mmer, she has a siJ,th sense for syncopauon, knowing when to hang on a vowel and 1hcn play catch up 10 fi11he words tn.

Her summcnimc hil, "Fas1 Car.·· is typic:al of other ,ongs on the album. Simple, recurring changes bl.azc 1hc way ror 1hc haunling vocal tines 1hat move, chan11ikc, above 1hem.

The album is 001 d~oid of interesting ioslnJJDcn· talion. Although Chapman obviously favors a produc· uon approach meant to highlight her message, some songs include unu.\Ual percussion insuumcru.s in cameo roles.

On "Acrou the Lines." the bass StCPS in-;uid.out as it is needed, filling boles much as a ~Uo sect.ion in an orchestra would do. A piano-like back-up track is provided by a hammered dulcimer, and added pcmlS· s1on is ,pnnklcd throughout the album compliments of seasoned LA session man Paulinbo DaCosta.

taskmaster/10\'CT. ApparcnLly, the scales even our the relationship, as Chapman sings, ''E"erybody thinks that I'm the fool, but they don't get any lo"e from you."

The song, like a handful of others oo her first offering, spcau of racial tension. To Chapman, the distance between raczs and income brackCIS rcprestDI.S more lhan an injustice; she secs it a1 a potential war zone. The lyncs bold a combined question and challenge 11,hcn she writes, "\\.'ho would dare 10 go, under !he bridge, over the tracks. lb.at separates whites from blacks?"

Another pcrsistenl theme ts that of greed and COT· ruption. In "Mounwn o' Tbing.s,'· the songwriter r~eals an inward struggle that pits the fear of those neg.auve quahties against a desire 10 be sclf-1Ufficicnt; both financially and emotionally.

One of the album 's highlights is a rough<dged cut called "For My Lover." The SlOI'}' IS buil1 around the seemingly endlcs1 list or sacriftccs ckmarulcd b) a

This minor lapse of creativity not"'ithstanding, Chapman has released a strikingly good firs1 effort.

She roams freely through many styles. being particularly cffccthc in grooves from the African conti· ocnt and the Caribbean. These arcn 't "mock-ups'' of those St)·lcs, she siczcs them, makes them her own and puts them 10 work for ber.

011 lheo1bcr side of tbecoin, Chapman trips up oo an a capella number entilled "Behind the Wall." A d1ronicle of domestic ,iolcnc:e and careless law enforct1Deru, the song falls short of the powerful effect the writer appeared to be reaching for, bolh musical!) and lyrically.

With an army of posturing lea1her boys hammering ou1 po"'er chords oo one fron1. and effete, synthesized bl!.ir<ut bands on the other. Tracy Chapman comes as a \01ce in the wilderness. Her song) swarm the listener, asking the hard qucs1ions and almos1 demanding action. The biggcs1 quesrion is one 1hal has not ~n asked for 11 \CT) long 11me: "Can music clu.nge 1he "'orld?"

,S'pgft,5 Summer's-end celebration

Festivities, food, fun the fare of the day

by Shannon Hayward With the beginning of ~ool comes the end of summer, and to celebrate-or mourn, depending on the individual-a party was held last Friday afternoon at Nic's at the Beach lo wrap up the summer

season.

Included in the fesdvitics were some basic "bcachy" activities such as volleyball and surfboard races. along with various other contcsu and games for priu:s. Live music was provided on the deck by Gotham City and the afternoon ended with a barbequc.

Student A~lvities Coordinator Dean Benne11 has been iustrumenlal in implementing changes and improvemenu at NIC', and is in charge of organi1iJ1g ac11vuies there.

"The old concessionaire didn't keep it up," Bennett said. " So I made a proposal 10 take over the concessions and maintain ii."

When in season, the concession stand is open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. weekdays, and offers the usual hot dogs and burritos 10 specialty items like "Montana Monster Cookies" and an inside out piua. Cool drinks, popsiclcs, candy bars and even lip balm and sunblock lotion can be purchased.

Work study students operate the nand, and profits from the snack sales go right back Into a fund to help pay the worker$ and pay for general maintenance. Elltra money also beoents the outdoor fund aJ1d 1he ln1romurol spon& program.

Improvements Include the addition of storage facllhics, plus the dcok connected

to the conc:c:ss.ion stand and wba1 Bennett called "Phase ll," the grass planted o.n the bullchead adjacent to NIC's and picnic tables (or eating.

"The main thing we want to strcss is that NI C's is avahable also lO the public," Bcnneu said.

To emphasize that point, Bennett spoke of the Storage facilitlC$ built to accommodate windboards for a seasonal fet of S7S. Individuals likely to bencfn from that would be locals living in the area who own wmdboards and don't want to pack II on 1he car every time 1he wind blows.

"Couer d 'Alene Lake has lle\¡er really been famous for windboarding," Bennett sajd . " I'd like to change that and see this area become a mecca for it."

W1ndboard_s are available for a reasonable rental fee or S4 per hour for students, slightly more for the public.

Other Wll ter toy1 for rent are canoes (SI per hour), fins and mask (S2), mocr tubes (SI.SO) and Hobie Dtts ($10)

Bennc11 hopes 10 attract good crowds to NIC's next spring when the concCSSJoo once again opcm for business. He wants people 10 realiu the area is there for thc1t use and feels it's a perfect spo1 for studying, while catching some rays. â&#x20AC;˘'It seems when scboo.l st.arts, I.hey (s1udenu) don't come down," Beoneu said. " They llay indoors and watch T. V. in the Subway. When I was aucodmg NIC, the minute I wu out of class I Wll! down 111 the beach. I did my studymg later when It coolt'd off."

Goodbye summer, hello fall! s hannon hayward

Another summer has come and gone, nod with the third week of school almost over, I'm finally beginning to settle into somewhat of (I routine.

For me, I know I'm becoming settled if I can go a whole day without looking at my class schedule and be at 1he right class on the right day and time.

I must admit, ho"'ever, h's a bit difficult to get back Into the swing of 1hings, after slllying up late, not Mudying, but watching cable T.V. I \\8S excited when the spring semesta- ended, ~ause I thought I could read for fun. Well, I've got ~-cral half-finished bool~ to att~t to that fallacy .

I _spen1 alot of my summer worr)ing about my duucs as sports editor and \\ringintt m) hand).

Mo~t of my e,pericnce m the field ol Journalism

has be-en 10 producuon-typesctting, paste-up and the tile-~o this v. as a nev. dimension for me Can I handle u? Hov. do I write attcnnongrabbing stories? Ho"' will coaches react 10 me, being a v,oman? \\ ill I be taicn seriously" These and others ',l,CTC just a fev. of the many qucsuon.s that ran through m) mind, mght after night. My heart v.ould pound, my palms v.ouJd sv.eat, my mind v.ould scream, "No! I cao't don!" But I lnov. I an.

I feel somcv.hat rCJU\CDAtcd v.1th the start of this semester. M) job of oght )ea.rs as a typesetter IS rustOf}. and I\ •c obtained a decent desk and chrur for stud) mg •• borne, geffiJli rid of the creaky table and clw.r l'\e been using That in 11sdf is a major improvement.

1'vc had some OlllJOr chango m m) life, but after running myself ragged for the past tv.o yean ll)ing to ~ v.orl, school and famify, I dec:id. eel somtthing had 10 gi\'C. r-.ow I can budJe dov.n and finish up here at NIC and men~ on. I'm a bona fide campus v.oman, and u feels geai.

So for in m)' ~dC8\0rs, I've had nothing but v.onderful moral support, and I great!) appreciate that. Just like e\Cf)One else, I'm here 10 learn anJ I pred1c1 ttus to be a good year for me. Sure, the,-e are ~port~ I lnov. \'Ct} tittle about and there arc

some I enjoy and prefer over others, but I am willing to absorb aU the information that I can in order to overcome my weaknesses.

Besides the team and individual sports on campus, I plan to incorporate outdoor activities, health and filncss articles as well. Human and special interest stories will appear from time 10 lime, because I feel there is more 10 sports 1han just statistics-real human emotions. People enjoy that realm of sports also.

The list of recreational activities activities is endless, or so it seems, and there's something for C\·eryone. Athletes themselves are a special breed and for -,.haccvcr reason they participate in the sporu Lhty do-be It ego, fitness, money or personal sansfaction-lhey are to be commended for their great dcdicauon and determination 10 be the

best they can.

I'm lool.ing forward to talking with and learning from those involved in the various activities around campus.

I respond 9,·eU to crit1C1Sm and, while I prefer the good over the bad, both can be equally as effecuve and helpful.

Winning teams or ind.hiduals, depending on the sport, receive championship T-shin.

As a rule, the majoritY of league games arc played on weekdays to be convc_nient for the athletes.

In the years past, intramural invoh·c· menl has b«n quite good. In the 1982-83 school year the numbc_r or panicipants -.. as 606, compared 10 the 1937.gg school year with 1009.

The game is sponsored by INSA (Idaho Nursing Students Association), and team players consist or registered nursing students and the faculty.

The reason for the early announcement this year 1\ to give the faculty enough umc to practice, according 10 Lori Stanea, INSA volleyball commitrec chairman.

"We want them to know they've got a tremendous challenge ahead of them,'· Stanea said. "We arc rudy, and we're going to win!"

The srudents will be a11empting to avenge a loss to the faculty in last year's

volleyball match-up.

Drawings, door prizes and skits will provide the fun throughout the evening and half time entertainment is being planned by the nursing faculty.

When asked about the content of the faculty's hair time skit, Stanea grinned and summed it up in one word, "Fun!'' TickclS are available up unirit game time from nursing students who will be circulating envelopes containing moneysaving coupons.

Coach gives credit to wrestlers for success

by Craig Bruce

The North Idaho College wrestl· ing 1eam is gearing up for the 19gg.g9 season, according 10 Coach John Owen.

"They're currently running and (jf1ing weights five days a week," Owen said. The wrestlers take 10 the mats Oct. I. Owca said lhai 36 wrestlers have signed up for lhc team, and tha1 20 or lhcm arc former stale cham· pions. Wi1h lhis lineup, Owen hopes LO win ano1hcr National championship. " However, we're focusing on this year rather than 1988," Owen said. ''My main goal this year is 10 develop the team Lo its full po1en1ial."

Rc1uming 10 the team this year is Scon Fili us. who placed third in the nation at 167 pounds las! year.

Al5o returning arc Greg Buneris in the 190-pound category and Gor· don La Croix at 126 pounds. Both Buncris and LaCroix placed fourth at Nationals last year.

Three olher returning starters arc Chuck Brady, Alfonso Lawes and Ernie Molina. Owen said

--

Lawes is 1entatively scheduled for rcdshin this year and Molina, who recently underwent knee surgery, will also be redshirtcd.

"There will be spirited compcti· lion for Ernie's spot in the 118-pound category." Owen said.

Bobby Mena, a three-time JI. llnois state champion, and Kenny Stecher. the 1987 Iowa state high school champ, will most likely wrestle at that weight.

Owen said he isn't sure who his staners will be this year. "IL would be unfair to guess," he said. ' 'The team has a lot of parity, and we've got lots of talented wrestlers."

Owen. who was featured earlier this spring in the " Faces in the Crowd" section of Spons JI. lustrated, would like to see more coverage of the team nationally.

"It was nice LO gel in Spons JI. lustratcd," Owen said, "but I think the team deserves recogni· tion more 1han my record as a coach. I'd like to sec an article about the 1eam in Spons 11· lustratcd, especially if we win Nationals this year."
