Fee Replacement Proposal shot down

by Shelly Reynor

AOer much opposition from Mudcni, staff and faculty, lhe Fee Replacement Proposal 10 fund the college library construction has been put on llold by the board or trustees, supponing President Robcn Bennett's recommcndBtioo.

"It seems there's enough resistance, and, with the conditions, I suggest we mO\'Caway for o year. lt'511 politically wise move," Bennett sn1d. "But if I don't sec improvement (in that year).

I'm going to come 10 nll of you for suppon to ~how we need ti new library."

While most everyone agrees thut a new library i& n necessity for North Idaho College, the reluctance to ~11ppon the proposnl come for various reasons

preceding lhc board meeting Feb. 29 in an hour-long discussion between lruStccs, St.ale scnatori. faculty. staff and studenLS. The Fee Replacement Proposal, which "'ould entail Lhe Legislature appro\ ing S 1.9 million to re-vamp t.he librar), would be paid back by the state nt about S1-s.000 per year for 30 years if the molle) ""as a\'ailable. 1r the st.ue did not ha\e the money to fund Lhc project on an) g1\-cn year, bo111~cr. the burden would be pl:iccd on the college.

The Associated Students of North Idaho College were rdut'llllll to ruppon the idea because ,r the burden did happen 10 tau bad: 00 the college, it

posS'l1>1y would be paid through increased tuition fees.

"You already know bow the srudents feel about this. but I want you to know 111-e don't stand alone.'' ASNIC Pres-i¡ dent Pat Reilly told the trustees. "Boise State Unh ersiry bad a rally in opposi¡ tion of increased tuition."

Reilly, who said it is not Lbc students' responsibility to pay for a building. said t.ha! the proposal is ju.st too much of a gamble.

After prcvtou.s debate as 10 whether students should pay ror the building, Lhc board Staled that it wa.stt'I Its Intent 10 p~ the burdm on Lhe studcnu. " If the legislature puses the rcsolu-

Sen. Mary Lou Reed was unable 10 attend the meeting, but her husband Scott read a leuer on her behalf.

While Reed stated that she supports the effort to upgrade the library facilities, she wrote that she is in tot.al opposition of the students funding the building.

"The statement of the board with no intent 10 use student fees is not binding lO future boards," she wrote. "We just need to try to move higher up oo the priority list." continued on page 17

Employers solicit nurses

by Julle Berreth

The recent shorLage or nurses could have a positive bearing on North Idaho College nursing studenLS, according to Joan Brogan, director or nursing education.

"This year the students arc being 11,1ned and dined by hospitals and nursing homes as compared Lo a rew years ago,'' Brogan said. "It's quite a turn-around for employers to be coming to the students to work for them."

According to Brogan, numerous op· tions involved with hospital choice and shirLS are available.

" ... students are bei ng wined and dined by hospitals and nursing homes.

"For 1hc graduating student. I 1hink it's a positive thing at this point in time, " Brogan Sllid. "Starting salaries are doubling, and with other benefits,

11.bink nurses will be wooed away from the area. I think it will happen. We ju.st h.aven 't seen it yet."

Brogan said the nursing shortage has not h.ad an effect on applications for admission to the NIC nursing program.

"North Idaho College's program i.s probably the only nuning program th.at has not had a decrease in applications for admission," Brogan said. ''They have remained steady, and I think there arc multiple reasons for this. " The job market is strong, (so is) the economy as far as looking at the options and going out and making a lh-ing, and Lhc nearest nurnng program 1s in Lewiston. l think all of these things 113~-e had an impact."

Brogan said that qualifications on a1r plicatioos have been aucmely high. '' We have had a higher number or succcs.scs this year,'' Brogan said. "We arc putting out more nurses and should be graduating 30. A few >'CIU"S ago 11 11,-a_s only 18 to 22."

Financial aid taxable income

by Shannon Hayward College students receiving financial aid may now have 10 claim portions of the aid as income. according to the Federal Tax Reform Act or 1986.

The o~ tax law affects students who have received financial aid after August 16, 1986. It also affects depcodeot students, who may still live with their parents, as well as iodepcndeot students living on their own.

Under Lh.e new law, a student living at home as a dependent will be tequired to file a tax form if he/she bas unearned income over SSOO, including financial aid. An independent, single uudent will be required to file a l3X return if income is at least S4,400, which also includes aid.

To determine whether or not a tax form needs to be filed, "other income" is a factor. This is figured by subtracting the excluded amount from the total aid received by the srudent.

The portion of financial aid excluded Crom t.aXation includes the cost of tuition and fees, plus books and

supplies required by certain classes. Students need to be aware, however, that receiplS arc necessary ro allow for lhe exclusion. The excluded amoum then is sub· tracted from the total amount or financial aid received to derive an "other income" figure.

The "other income" figure, in turn, must be reported on the 1040 long form. It cannot be filed on either the 1040A or 1040EZ forms.

The type$ or financial aid affected by the taX law include the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Oi>portunity Grant, State Student Incentive Grant, any scholarships, Grants-lo-Aid and WJC HE or Washington Reciprocity payments. College Work Study earnings are included with studeots receiving North Idaho College W-2 statements. Student loans are not included.

Students ha,ing questions on whether or not lhe w reform affcct.s them should contact either the Internal Revenue Service or the Financial Aid Office, located in Student Services.

[__s_e_n_tin_e_l_op_,_·n_io_n_Jt--------Spring brings out worms and Robertson waiter ross

Spring and leap years.

The trees bud and bloom. The sun shines warmly. The air is fragrant again after too many months of frozen nose hairs. ll 's peculiar, spring is. It's a metamorphosis: still a surprise, yet it happens every year.

This spring is different though. It 's a leap year-a year in which various breeds of worms emerge from their cocoons with a new persona to wing their way through field, farm and barn photo opportunities. bringing promises to a. hopefully, bamboozled America.

Yes. it's the year we elect a president.

This presidential leap year is different in at least one respect-the way it smells. It smells like some poor fellow's shoe smells after he stomps out a (cowpie-filled) burning paper bag left on his porch by mischevious schoolboys.

It smells that way because we are experiencing an air of bad comedy emimning from the campaign trail. Oddly, this malodorous comedic distress is being inflicted on us by a singularly bad comedian. His name is Pat Robertson.

Robenson is running for the office of president of the United States aod bas. judging by past elections, a chance of being elected.

When you consider that Ronald Reagan was elected not once, but twice, it doesn't seem very far-fetched to think lhat America would believe anything Pat Robertson says and, however frightening lhe prospect, elect him.

Critics of the current president like to point out that he rarely knows what he's talking about, much less doing. Call it age; call it political savvy-the fact remains: he has spent the last eight years as our president, despite an attempt to

shonen his term by Jody Foster's biggest fan.

Robertson, who, like Reagan, looks good on TV, also bas a similar grasp of facts.

Now that the lime approaches to elect a president, America once a8l1in bas to answer the question: Who will lead us into the future? Pat ("Don't call me a former television evangelist because it's a bigoted slur") Robertson wants the nation to choose him.

Do we need a person like Robenson to masquerade, not only as a man of integrity, but as leader of the free world'? Isn't it time we had a president who v.'llS, at the very least, a convincing liar?

Robenson, if you care to remember, is the guy who fudged on the facts regarding his wedding

da1e to conceal the fact that he evangelistically conceived his eldest child outside of wedlock. Unfortunately, when he picked his new, improved wedding date he stiO came up two months shy of placing his child's conception firmly within the bounds of holy matrimony.

"Oops, bad math," he probably thought as be hearkened back to the rocking, rearing back seal of bis dad's Buick.

Cnildren conceived out of wedlock are no big deal-lying about it is. But maybe we shouldn't focus on such a short story. After all, what's important in a candidate is his convictions.

Robenson said his religion (his eldest being proor religious knowledge) shouldn't enter into his qualiticntions os president. In an effort to distance himself from televangelism. the former television evangelist chastized the bigoted. slurish press and new off to tell Jimmy Swaggart, the televangelist that PTL'd (paid the lady) a prostitute to pose nasty and talk dirty to him: "I love you."

According to Robertson, George Bush's cam· paign was behind Brother Swaggart 's troubles.

"They did it just to embarass me," he said.

Evidently, he doesn't embarrass quite that easily. But maybe we shouldn't focus on that nasty vignette. What's importan1 in a president is his grasp of the facts-ii Is a mean old world out there.

During a televised debate, rhe man of the cloth stunned his obviously uninformed colleagues by announcing 1ha1 there were nuclear missiles in Cuba just waiting Lo make a trip up north. A day or so later he said, "You can't tell me there are no missiles hidden in those caves (in Cuba)."

Finally his aides-yes, preacher Pat has aidesaMounced that the minis1er of misnomers meant to say "missile launchers" and not "nuclear missiles." In an even later siatement he clarified his remasks further, mentioning that his information was over 20 years old.

How can it be that a man who can talk to God can't find out what's hjdden in those pesky Cuban caves? For all we know, the Cubans could be stock-piLing huge amounts of guano for export to revolutions abroad.

Maybe we shouldn't be concerned wirh such minor lapses of reality. Reagan has been lapsing all along, and it never hurt his candidacy.

Indeed, Robenson is merely a variation on an old political butterfly, changing his colors at will.

Maybe Robertson is the new Republfoan messiah, someone the young Republicans can really look up to, the way they did to Reagan in 1979.

Hopefully, we'll never know. But if by some fluke be does ge1 the Republican nomination for president, the question remains: Will America "just say NO?"

Blood units needed Dear Editor: On April 19 Lhe Spokane Blood Bank once again will have its blood drive at NIC. For those who gave-or tried 10 give blood-last fall, I hope to sec you again. Por those who, for some reason, decided not to donate blood, I would encourage you to read the following letter from Janet Hayes, a spokeswoman for the aid association for Lutherans.

This leuer says more about the giving of blood than any amount of advcnising could ever say. It shows

the need for students and facuJry to take pan in this spring's blood drive.

The letter. which was sent 10 the student body blood bank and college nurse Joanne Marinovich, follows: "We want 10 thank you for your generous contribution of blood units for the needs of Lou Ann Mict.zncr. h is very gratifying 10 know our young people are alert to the needs of the community they are a part of

and so willing 10 share."

1 hope to sec you there.

Junkies: Drug free Dear Editor: If you watch TV on any night or any station, a scorching griddle will fill the screen. "This is your brain,' ' a disscmbodicd and slightly booming voice announces. An egg drops and hos a hard fry. "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"

You almost expect a linger to come out of the screen and poke you in the breastbone. The message is clearly given that if you do have any questions you would do well not 10 o.sk them of the omnipotent voice.

In the Feb. 25 edition orThe Sentinel, Bob Newell voiced his opinions in an anicle on drugs. He teaches the subject at NIC, mnking him an authority. One of the first things we arc taught in criticru thinking is 10 question authority. Newell failed to pro\<ide a shred of empirical evidence to back up his claim that the taking of any ~ubstance into the body constitutes abuse.

In 1985, 617 people died from a cocainc-relsted death-fey. er than

were killed by lighrning. Out of a nation of nearly a quarter billion, less than 3,500 died from deaths even remotely connected to drugs other than tobacco and alcohol. Out of 25 million regular marijuana smokers. not one confirmed a fatali1y. If marijuana leads 10 harder drugs, does Judge Joseph Ginsburg have bruises on his arms?

Perhaps Mr. Ne"ell has some metaphysical knowledge that tells him there 1s no difference bct"ecn moderauon and excess. If he does, it is his righ1 to believe as be does.

He does not have the right through "modeling" or "intef\'Cntion" (read arrest) to force others to adopt his \i ews.

In reality. you don't need drugs to be a junkie. Authoritarianismpower over others- is more addicting and seducing to those in a men¡ tal uniform than a drug could be.

Power is a bead rush.

Sincere!).

D.J. Carter P.S. Never truSt a junkie.

Students flock away from tourney prices Cager teams from lhe Northwest flocked to Idaho's ChrisLianson Gymnasium last weekend to take a shot worth earning a flight to national competition in Mississippi. Many Cardinal fans, however, ended up flapping their wings elsewhere instead of watching lhe game as admittance prices skyrocketed.

Prices flew from free (during the regular season} co $5 per student at lhe women's regional tournament, and the result was a student section on the shy side of full.

Even cheerleaders and Lhe pep and jazz bands-who perform at the games as do athletes-were charged the green stuff. According to both cheerleader adviser Linda Benneu and music instructor Terry Jones, Lhe cheerleaders and band members didn't have to pay for lhe tickets out of their own pockets, but somebody picked up the tab.

The price isn' t actually chat high. It's just that studems' incomes-if lhey exist-aren't that high either. " ...but students seem to have money to buy alcohol and go oul and party," the argument goes. I' m not sure we can assume that all those srudents attending a basketball game are party animals, bul, even so, the priorities need lO be understood.

If a student 's priority is in drinking a few beers, lhe studen1 isn't going co auend the basketball game-he/she is going to go drink a few beers. The priority of the instilution, however, needs to be with pushing the Cardinal,s toward winning. The crowd, rowdy or intimidating, can win or lose a game for a team.

The Lady Cardinals didn ' t have much of a problem sweeping the tournament, but , nonetheless, if the team would have needed motivation, a h ealth y crowd could have provided it.

Cheerleader Mike Doran said the auendance was bigger ac the CSI women's game than at the tournament, which very few students attended.

Even Sherman Hall residents, who live less lhan a block from the gymnasium, were scarce in appearing, according to Doran. \\'bile co-coach Vic Woodward said he didn't feel the price of admittance was too high, co-coach Greg Crimp, in conjunction with the Sports Cellar , donated $ I 00 toward admissions.

"It was a last -minute idea thal came up on Friday evening," Woodward said, adding that the $100 was used to discount the first 100 students' price by $1.

Women's Activity Director Jim Headley said that the prices need to be as much as they are because expenses, such as referee and trophy costs, are placed on the host. According to him, $700 from gate receipts is given to the host college to help pay the expenses, but thal money still doesn't cover the cosls.

The remainder of gate receipts is used for national travel expenses, according to Activities Director Rollie Williams, who scl the prices.

"I'm a little concerned on the price (that students think was so high) for rwo outstanding basketball games," Williams said. " We're asking srudeotS to pay $10 for an entire season of entertainmenl, and that, to me, is not unreasonable.

"Look at it with 17 games throughout the year, and figure out the cost (it would be about 60 cents). I don't think that's out of line."

Sixty c-cms per game is definitely more than reasonable-students could suffer leaving the popcorn or licorice alone for an evenii if necessary.

Jt's the SlO in one weekend that kills the crowd.

The hose team, because of the home-court advantage, is said LO most frequently win the tournament. Having the crowd on "your" side is cenainly beneficial- if the crowd can afford to sit on the bleachers.

SPY Magazine brings back muckraking with style

by Walter Ross Tracking down a ~ opy of sp,· magaz.ine wasn't very easy here in the grcai while Northwest.

The books1orcs. libraries and super· markeLS didn't carry ii. A genueman ai the Idaho News Agency, ever up to date on the latest in periodicals, said, " SPY? Never heard of ii; we don' t carry it."

Even news vendors in California hadn't heard of it. but were quick to note tha1 they "carry everything else."

So where docs a super-sleuth turn to for information he can coum on? h h Why. I turned to l e p one company of course- Manhauen Directory Assistance to be precise. And with a lil· tie digilal dexterity I was connected 10 the Puck building, home of SPY magazine.

Hank Rosenfeld, a publishing assis· Lant at SPY, fielded my call. When I told him where I was calling from. he surprised me by recogniz.ing Coeur d'Alene.

"I s1opped 1herc for lunch; I was on my way 10 Mon1ana," he snid. He though1 Coeur d'Alene was a very pro· gressive place; ii mus1've been somc1hing he ate.

When I 1old him I was in1eres1ed in subscribing 10 SPY, he was quick 10 poinl ou1 that lhey had a subscriber in Ketchum. He didn't know who it was, but I suspect ii is one of 1hosc. to use SPY 1erminology, Hemingway •·spuds.·· (Spud is SPY's affec1iona1e

tmn for people, as opposed to poiatocs, who become famous because they art

related to someone famous. SPY IS quick to point out uw its uiheritcd fame is by no means an indication of talent: i.e . Frank Stallone, Franlc Sin.ain Jr).

Rosenfeld •"3.S kind enough to send me a couple of ISSUCS of SPY, and thanks to Hank, I v.as able to make an impoiunt discovery: No.holds-barred muckraking is ali\e and well.

To call SPY a muckraking maganne is an undersuuement. The truth is lh4t SPY bas single-handedly put a smile back the still-<lec:eascd William Ran00 dolph Hearst's decomposed fa~.

SPY makes no allusion to fairness.

It's ob,ious the editors feel thm· 1s enough of that nonsense already. Their editorial policy is "Cf)' simple: call it as they ~ it.

among us. it doubles as an auempl to alert our na1ion to the penis or Canadian-ncss. The problem, according to Stengel, is 1hat CanadiarlS look just like us-only they're nicer, cleaner and w k slower. He pou\lS out that "the Canadian company Olympia & York owns 24 million square feel of New York real cs1a1e-almost one square foot for C'\cry Canadian." He clrums information like that leads to only one conclusion: the Great White North is becoming the Great White Menace, metbodic.'lUy tahng O\'Cr the U.S. What really rauled lum, ho~cver. was fmdioi out that the Uniled States nnd Canadn sh.are the longest undefended border in 1he world. So in the str1c1es1 tr3d11.ion of Woodward OJ!d Bernstein, Stengel contacted the Ca1111dian Department of Defcruc and asked if there "ere any c:onungcnc:y plans for Canada to inv11de the U.S. " Absolutely 001!" a spokesman for the Canadian Department of Defense said. ''The United States is our friend ."

Stengel wasn't buying that rypc of lame reasoning, however, and so be was off to Washington , D.C., to ferrel out the real 1ruth at the Pentagon.

Staff, f acuity add 'Our Town' to jobs

by Tim Clemennn

four members of the North Idaho College faculty and staff have added an extra element to their jobs here a1 the sc:hool. The new element to their jobs are parts in 1h NJC Dr~a ~ e?t producu~.n of Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Pnze-wmrung play Our Town,'' which depicts life at the tum of the century in the small village of Grovers Comers, New Hampshire.

The naff and faculty members panic:ipating in the play are; Administrative ~istam 10 th.e Pr~ident Josephine Webb. Auditonum Custodian Jimmy Michaels, Secretary for the Dean of College Relations and Development Doris Ayars and retired speech instructor-substitute speech teacher Helen Barclay.

Webb plays the parts of the lady in the box and a member of the choir. As the lady in the box Webb questions the stage manager at the beginning of the play as.king him if there is much drinking in Grovers Comers.

Webb said that "Our Town" is the first play that she's been in here at NIC. "I've auended as many as PoSSiblc O\ er the years. thlS as my very first," she said. " It's a wonderful play."

Even though her pan is small. Webb thinks that Director Tim Ranck was doing a great job in making even those with small pans feel just as 1mPonant as those wnh the larger parts.

Michaels, whose job usually is aU done behmd the ~nes. either cleaning up the auditorium, or working the sound, or building seu. "Our Town" 150'1 Michaels' fim time upon the NIC stage as he had a pan m the drama department's production of "Same Time Nex1 Year."

ln "Our Town" Michaels plays the pans of thesecond derul man and a parishioner in the church scenes.

As the second dead man Michaels consoles Emily Gibb dunng her funeral after she complains about not liking being dead.

Acting staff--North Idaho College staff members Doris Ayars (left) and Jo Webb take part in the play "Our Town."

Michaels didn't know he had a pan unu1 Ranck told him he did.

"I like the play; it's a lot of fun," Michaels said.

Ayars was recruited for the play by cast member Jerry Spreen, who had found out from Dean of Administration Rolly Jurgens that she could play the pump organ. ''Our Town" is her first play at NIC. Ayars plays the organ throughout the play. She docs introductions for the stage ma.nager at the beginnings of each of the acts. She also plays for the church choir.

During the wedding of George Gibbs and Emily Webb, Ayars plays the wedding processional and the recessional, and at the cod of the play she plays "Blessed be the Tie that Binds.•· "I like ("Our Town'') real well. Some of the productions have been shady in times past; it's very wholesome," Ayars said.

The pump organ that she plays is an authentic tum of the ccnturv model that was loaned to the school for the producu~n by Priscilla Cooper.

Barclay, who substitute-teaches speech classes when needed. retired from teaching several years ago. She said that she has been in several NIC productions, including "The Music Man," "The Man From Lo Mancha" and ''My Fair Lady."

Barclay plays the pan of Mrs. Soames. "She's the town happy person, the busy body. I think she's kind," she said. " I like the play very \Cl')' much. h's a lovely play.

It's beautifully directed. I've always liked Tim Rarick ·s work. The)"ve done a lot with the play," Barclay said.

"Our To"' n" will be performed March 11-13 in the C·A Auditorium at 8 p.m.

'Our Town' shows professionalism

by Colleen Perron

Pre-play preparatlon-- Backstage before the opening of "Our Town," former speech Instructor Helen Barclay and auditorium custodian Jimmy Michaels (near mirror), both cast members, comb the floor tor a pearl necklace.

Tim Ramck. NlC'( new drama instru.:tor. was able 10 infuse a real sense of profess1onahsm into Thornton Wilder's Pulhtzcr Prize-winning play, "Our Town " The turn-of-the-century stor; about the small New Hampshire town of Gro~crs Comers. with the talent of :-;1c drama students and staff and community players.

The scene ... , which at first seems minimal, allo~s the viewer 10 draw on early memories of small town life in a Simpler time. Taking the opportunity 10 sit in various areas of the auditorium is good C'.(~pt for some of the upper IC\els. Howe\·cr. personal PA's arc available for those bard of hearing through the C-A Box Office and the ushers. Scnung in the auditorium was plentiful.

The first act of the pla} opens in earl> Ma} of 1901. introducing two netghbonng families and the intertwinin.g relationship of two of the children.

George Gibbs and Emily Webb, played

by Darrell Oyler and Kristen Brown.

The play progresses as the relationship between the two d.eepcm and they fall in lo~e. The 1"0 marry, but are struck with tra.gedy nine )cats later as Emily dies during childbinh.

The play continues with Emily review· mg moments in her life from beyond the

grave. Emily reaches the conclusion that Ii fc is just 100 fas1.

The narrator of the story, played by Keith Knight, kcc:ps the viewer apprised of events as they unfold. playing with time as if it were on a sliding scale.

Anyone who's ever lived or grown up in a small town soon recognizes all the typical characters-the town drunk who also conducts Sunday choir. the no1-100brigh1 but ever-friendly milkman whose horse knows the rou1c better iban he does, and finally the children and parents who grow up and grow old together all of their lives.

The play was warm and friendly, offering a rare glance back into a time when doors were never locked and cars were a novelty.

"Our Town'' is a treat for the audience. For bleeding heans, it may be a wise idea 10 bring a hanky. It wiU be an evening well spent.

"Our Town" will be presented again tonight. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Communication-Arts Auditorium.

Tickets for the play are general admission; $5 for adults. $3 for children and senior citizens. Tickets for NIC faculty, staff and studenlS are free with valid ID.

French film 'Frantic' fabulous for Ford

by Tim Clemensen Imagine being in II foreign land. not able to speak the langu11gc. Then again imagine picking up the wrong suitcase. Both of those imaginations arc the basis for exiled director Roman Polanski in hi> !l<'4 film "Frantic." which su1rs Harrison Ford "Frantic" has the suspense and pace of one of Master Alfred Hitchcock's great works. The plot ta~cs the viewers into the film, placing them on the edge of their seats.

Ford portrays Dr. Richard Walker, a cardiologist in Paris for a convention. Walker also uses the trip for a chance at a second honeymoon with his wife, Sondra (played by Bcuy Buckle)').

Upon arrival at their hotel they discover that they have ac:cidently picked up someone else's suitcase.

While Richard is showering, Sondra waves 10 him, tr)'· ing to relay a message to him. a message Richard doesn't understand.

After finishing in the bathroom Walker notices his wik is no where 10 be found. Thus begins the quicken· ing pace of II man searching for the person who is most dear to him.

The police and the hotel security arc lilllc help and the U.S. Embassy is even worse when it comes 10 finding his wife. Walker takes things into his own hands by searching the mysterious suitcase for clues.

Walker finds a clue that leads him to a dead drug dealer and his beautirul girlfriend, Michelle (Emmanuelle Seigner), who happens 10 be the owner of the suitcase.

Michelle was actmg as a courier for her boyfriend, leading to the mix-up between the two suitcases. Her interest in helping Walker 10 find his wife is so she can be paid for bcmg the courier.

Michelle and Walker then begin the perilous journey to get Sondrn back. The search leads them 10 a group

of Middle East terrorists, who arc looking for ~ichelle's swl.C3sc.

Throughout the film the plot talces many twists and 1unu on its suspenseful Journey through the sllttts of Pam.

_/

During the film Ford's character Walker. unwinds from the meuculous, very cautious cnrdiologist to rhe frantic person lool..ing for a loved one, ns the title or the film so aptly states. ·•frantic" differs from most film~ shot in Pari~ as lhe typical film usually dc:.1ls with rhc ''Irma la Doure•· aspect of the famous city. According to Polanski, who hns hved in France since his self.c,ile from the United States in 1978, ''Fmntic" takes a realistic look at the city The film, which was wriucn by Polanski and Gerard Brach, uses hair-ra1~ing action and su,pen~e to offcr the viewer an mcrcd1ble European loo~ at the city of Pans.

Ford is excellent o• Dr. Walker, showing e~quisitc acung talent which has been apparent in hi~ two previous films, "Witne'IS" and "The Mo~quito Coast," helping him break free from being typecru1 as Han Solo and /or Indiana Jones.

Ford al~o does his own stunts in the film, showing that the spirit of Indiana is not dead and I~ just waiting till the end of this year when production begins on the third installment of the Indiana Jones adventures.

Polanski's girlfriend Sc1gner is al10 great ns the adventurous beauty who assim Ford in hi~ pligh1 10 regain his wife's freedom.

A lot of the films that have been released in the last year have dcaJt with married men mes~ing around with other wommen. (i.e. "Fotol Attracuon" and "Someone To Watch Over Me"). "Frantic" offers viewers a look at a happily married man who has no Intentions or and docm't cheat on his wife.

"Frantic," which is rated R, is a great suspense· thriller, that harkens back 10 Hitchcock's fllllJterpicc.es.

should please and cmmain viewers. The film is turrently showing at Coeur d'Alene Cinema.

a bird, it's a plane. No it's Superman.

Not looking a day over 29, the Man of Steel celebrated his 50th birth· day last week. Supes, who has amazed, thrilled and captured our heans with his heroic personality and incredible strength over the years, was recognized on a CBS special, hosted b>' Dana Carvey, of "Saturday Night Live." The special retraced Superman's roots discussing his many different movies, television shows, comic books, viJlains and friends.

Superman was created in 1938 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster for the magazine Action Comics. Since his creation, Supes has been the mainstay of that comic book and of DC Comics, which publishes Ac· lion Comics and various other Superman titles.

The Man of Steel has fought villains from the farthest reaches of outer place and down·t~ch thugs who never seem to te.arn their lessons.

He's also managed to maintain his disguise as the mild-mannered reporter Clark Kem, keeping the secret from his closest friends. Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White and Lana Jang.

Besides being a star of the pages of comic books, Superman has had two different runs as a television series, which starred George Reeves in the original run and Kirk Alyn in the second series.

Of late Superman has been portrayed on the silver screen by Christopher Reeve in the four Superman films.

Superman was even the subject of a recent exhibit in the Smithsonian Institute, which included a copy of his first appearance now priced at SI ,500 (a far cry from its original price of 10 cents).

In the 50 years since his birth Supes has remained relatively the same until his 50th birthday when DC turned the reins to all the Superman titles over to writer John Byrne, who has made some dras1ic changes in America's favorite superhero. The changes that Byrne has made in elude: negating his days as Superboy; reducing his powers a little, making him more vulnerable: making him the test tube baby of his parents on his homeworld of Krypton and having Lex Luthor being the Crimelord of Metropolis, not a former friend turned bad.

The changes give new direction to the Man of Steel as he leaps into his next 50 years.

Poor lyrics make Toto's latest album f orgetable

by David Gunter The new Toto album is perfect-so perfect it's almost eerie.

"The Seventh One" is the most recent chapter in the chronicle of a band in search of itS identity. After the runaway success of "Toto IV"-an album which harvested two Top-Five singles and a Record of the Year award in 1982-Toto seems obsessed with beating that effort. This new collection sees the band t.m1ding familiar ground while making a few timid st.abs in unexplored territories. In the end the band is left swirling in some roc.k whirlpool, still in the maiosueam. but the current is passing them by.

The album's first single, ''Pameln," presents the listener with engnglng lyrics like "Side by side. rain or shine, black and white, day or night." Somehow it's hard to imagine songwriters sitting around a table agonizing over words like that.

Song titles don't fare much better this time around.

Toto always has had a rutation with the names-as-song· utJcs theory of writing. whh selections like "Angela," "Georgy Porgy'' and the hit song "Rosanna" on previous records. The new album hos no I~ than three of them on side one alone, tributes to mystery women by the names of " Anna," '' Pamela" and ''Mushanga" (an ode to 11n African bcaULY that sounds very similar to lhe group's previous ode lo 1be continent itSCIJ').

Toto called on a talent pool made up or s:ngers Linda Ronstadt and Patti Austin, 5IIJt men Tom Scott and Jim Horn and jazz percussionist Andy Narcll to help fill in the blanks. Even that stable of crackerjack scuion-pe.oplc couldn't bring the album 10 do much more than smolder.

"The SevenJh One" is also a forgetablc one.

The first Toto album brought forth a No. S hit io " Hold the Line" and fixed the group firrnly within the ranks of power pop proprietors in 1979. A six-piece band at the time. Toto since has undergone a series or personnel changes to arrive at the current fivemember arrangement. The musical core remained fairly int.act, however, with Jeff Porcaro on drums, David Paich handling keyboards and Steve Lu.kather covering the guitar.

The most noticeable changes came with the replacement of David Hungate on bass. with the dccidely funkier approach of Mike Porcaro (Jerrs brother) and the addition of vocalist J oscph Williams. who took the place of Bobby Kimball. Kimball's voice is probably best remembered on the No. I song "Africa."

In its vocal arrangements the band still favors the thickly timbred harmonics that have come to be a sonic hallmark for them. Plugging in a new lead singer creates a problem, though. With his crystalline tone and rock n• roll eunuch vocal range, WilJiams leaves

Recently released on video, "The Lost Boys," suck up the coastal town of Santa Carla, Calif.. into the immortal life of undead vampires. Residents accept the fact that the the undcad have taken refuge in Sant.a Carla~cept for Sam, played by Corey Haun, a oewcomer to the town. who secs signs of a vampire seeping out in bis older brother, Michad.

The writer attempts to enter comic relief into the story as two vampirekilling brothers advise Sam bow to rid bis brother of his undcad qualities. The vampire-killing brothers offer their ex~ LO Sam-cpcrtisc that is achieved through comic books.

Besides the traditional wooden stake through the heart. the young boys use bath rubs and squirt guns with garlic and

brother. Star is played by Jamie Oenz. who bas appeared in "Quicksilver" and "Less Than Zero."

As the lost boys sleep during the day LO carouse at night, they tend to put the sleeper on the audience. Without any stimulating dialogue, the movie lacks in· terest that should captivate the audience.

Miller displays hand-made paper in gallery art show 'Influences'

by Watter Ross

"It all siarted as a response to a work

by Laura Sin dell,'' one or the artists she pays homage to in her show, she said .

"Something happened when I saw her work up close and personal.•• As she continued working on the "lnnuenccs" series, MiUer discovered that all of rhe artists she was borrowing from were women.

"Somerhing m me wanted to go wilh rhis and $11Y this is for the women; this h for the gals," she said.

Miller says women artists virtually are wntten out of history. " If you go 10 11 library you'll find a hundred books written about men artim. But how many are wriuen about women? Do you think there are that few women arusts7" she asked.

The truth, according 10 Miller, is that onists are very evenly divided between the genders. "(The problem is) we just a.ren 't taken seriously,'' she said.

This show Is Miller 's way o f celebrating, as well as creating an awareness of, women artistJ' contributions to the world or an.

"A lot of what 111.keabout these people is not only their art, but the way they live their lives," she said. "Thm art ists became role modeb beca~ they're very serious about what they're doing, in-

stead or worrying about what sells or what wilJ fit into the decor o f somebody's den."

Miller's medium is a unique combination of an ancient lf!ldition and 1980s' disposable society.

The base for au or her works is paper.

She staru with cotton rag pulp I.hat bas been processed in a Hollander beater.

Sometimes she adds wildnowus (Curly Dock or Oyster plant seed) that she has cooked down and processed in a blender. The pulp is then dyed and put through a lengthy riming process to prevent the various colors from bleeding into one anot.htr.

The first part of the design is formed by casting pulp onto a 40-50-inch mold.

Miller then builds up the design by a transfer process called couching (pronounced kooching) onto the main sheet.

To form patterns she makes designs -..i t.h tape on a smaller frame. Pulling lhe smaller molds lhrough the vats of pulp, the molds collect pulp into t.he shape of the raped designs. She then couches different colors and patterns onto the larger cast.

"The colors you see arc actually the paper,'' she said.

It takes from one to three days for the sheet to dry. Once dried, it is removed from the screen. BecaDSC the pulp is always drying, she is fon:ed to make her anistic decisions very quickly and isn't afforded time to reflc:d about what she's doing. she said. When the paper dries, no alterations can be made to the actual construction of the paper.

"It 's a challenge," she said.

A ftcr a design is finished, howe\'eJ. Miller is afforded advantages other mediums don 't allow. If she doesn't like it, she can cut it up and rearrange it. " I don 't know if I would do that -..;1h an oil pamting," she said.

Miller also adds common objects 10 her works of an. She uses plcxiglass. shells, willow brunches and colored telephone wire. as well as enamel pajnu to add dept.band character to her work. " We should feel free to use the materials around us-non-traditional

A celebration is going on at NlC's Union Gallery. It's a celebration of some or the artists who have inOucnced Spokane paper-maker/ artist Wendy Franlduod Miller throughout her caieer.

Miller's show, ·•rnnuences: Paying Homage," is m1>ute not only 10 people who inspire her; it's also VI.Sible proof of how an artist uses her knowledge of other artists' work to synergiu their energy into a new entity.

"I thought: wouldn't ii be run to go back in my life and do work (similar) to people I.hat have inOucnced me," Miller said of her inspiration for her current show.

Miller decided 10 borrow thingscolors or shapes-she really liked about other artislS' work and use it as a serious 1001.

Miller said she began paper-making because she became distressed by the confinements of painting and sculpting.

Paper-mnking has given her a freedom she didn"t find in those mediums. '· Jt 's easy to be seduced by paper: the edges arc real soft,'' she said.

In a way. Miller's show is not only a

celebration of the exchange of energy she has shared with her innucnccs, but a celebration of freedom- frtcdom for an artist to wt the materials and inspiration around her. " lnnucnccs: Paying Homage'' will run through March 31 in the Union Gallery. The gallery is located in the basement of the Student Union Building and is open noon-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission to the gallery is free.

Spring-mostly fair with patches of trouble

John Carlson UBC transfer student "Spring, eh? I enjoy driving my car wilh all I.he windows down. Everything comes alive."

Spring is the smell of wood smoke mixed with the unmistakable scent of new growth. It's the time when nature ends a long winter sleep and humankind celebrates the change of seasons.

Spring is for troublemakers.

Tbe vernal equinoJt bas a long tradition of creating social problems and inspiring pranks on a grand scale.

For instance, Russian composer Igor Stravinsl..")' first performed the music for his ballet, "Rite of Spring." for a Paris audience in 1913. Those tha1 didn't leave the performance stayed to boo the dancers and shout down the orchestra. The following day, critics commented that the dancing was 100 erotic, the music 100 primitive and disorganized.

Consider the Secret Society of Equinox Egg Balancers. On the first day of spring the ranks of this organization swell with people who have been convinced that the balancing act can only be succcs.sfuUy undertaken on the vernal equinox. They are cold by the society's founders thai na1ure achieves perfec1 equality on that day. and so they spend hours fiddling with and swearing at eggs. Only af1er the first day of spring has passed are they told that the feat can be accomplished at anytime by anyone "illing 10 invest a vast amoun1 of time and patience.

Troublemakers.

This year, the new season makes itself more troublesome than usual. Because ii is a leap year. the first day of spring falls on March 20 rather than the 21 . Calendar manufacturers arc the obvious casualties here-one in three getting caught in the confusion and printing the wrong day for all the world to sec.

Blame it on spring.

On a re.ctn! afternoon at North Idaho College, studentS that should have had their noses in the books were fou nd throwing Frisbee disks, jogging in Lhe sunshine or digging their toes in the sand while staring absenlly out across Lake Coeur d'Alene. These irresponsible actions poin1 to 1he ugl} side of an otherwise lovel) season. And it \I.ill only get worse as we approach uro hour-March 20 at I :39 a.m.

Perhaps the only ray of hope lies in the fact that in 1988 the first day of spnng falls on the birthda) of the one human that repr=nis all things good and fai r and kind in the \I, orld.

March 20 is \'Ir Rogers' birthday.

Nuclear plant meeting slated today by SEAL

by Celeste Tritz

A nuclear weapons plant planned for southeastern Idaho 11,ilJ be the topic at a workshop held by the Student Education Awareness League (SEAL) tonight (March 10) Ill 7:30 p.m. in the Bonner Room.

The Idaho Engineering LaboratoT)' (INEL). 45 miles west or Idaho Falls. has~ selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) for the nuclear plant.

The plant, referred to as the Special Isotope Separation Project (SIS). 1.1.iU be U.S· ing lasers 10 produce refined Plutonium-239 for the utilizarioo of nuclear v,arheads.

The factory will be located in an unstable area distinctive for earthquakes and \Ok:aruc activity, according to Tim Conner, a staff researcher for the Hanford Educatfoo Ac· lion League (HEAL) in Spokane.

The plant, which will be producing one of the mos1 toitic materials that has remained lethally dangerous for over 24,000 years. "--as originally sncd for \\'ashlllgton, Conner said. Opposition from Washington citizeris forced the DOE 10 relocate in Idaho, Conner said. The INEL would be the first nuclear weapons production plant in Idaho, he added.

"We're trying to build the plant fnr away from where 111.1.ould hurt people,·· 8111 Jensen, a DOE official, said.

The LNEL originall)' was founded to de,clop research of nuclear reactors and nuclear fuels. It also \\'a$ slated 10 recover uranium from used fuel from nuclear submarine reactors and government research. according 10 Conner.

Conner will discuss the controversy o,-er the SIS plant. why crirics fear the plant could hinder the efforts of the United States to aven spreading of nuclear 1.1.eapons to countries that do not currently possess them and production operations in relation 10 other U.S. plants. Discussion also will focus on health, economic and transportation issues and how it affects Idaho citizens.

Controversy over the frequency of anned gO\'ernment convoys hauling deadly materials on Idaho highways. and the possibility of a toxic cllemical spill that is injurious to the public also will be discussed.

Upcoming events organized by SEAL include a Conflict Resolution Workshop on how to resoh•e world issues as well as personal connictS, a Self Defense Work.shop for women and a student survey that will clarify to SEAL the concerned is.sues of NIC s1udentS. SEAL, established by NIC students, organizes and sponsors speakers and workshops on pertinent local, national and world issues. To provide studenlS and the community with information to develop informed opinions is a goal of SEAL. SEAL holds genera-1 meetings the first and third Thursday of every month at 3 p.m. in the Kootenai Room.

Fall, who was the guest on NlC Public Forum. which aired Sacurcby on KPBS, aun1>uted the decline to le~ 11,omcn rcporung rapes.

"These statistics are down a little from the ye.ar before." she said, "and this is friJhtening becausc we know the inadcnts of rape and scrual iwualt have not gone down.

"We get 100 many calls to the Rape Cnscs (Center) or mcidcms that happen· eel six months ago, a year ago, cwo years ago. th.at have not be-en dealt with and (the v1cums) need to talk about it. So 1ao-e're ftnding that women are not repor· ting (rapes), and one of the rCll.SOns is becaU5C a lot of the time they arc not believed."

Many of the unreported rapes are pcrpetnted by aquaintances of the victims, which results In the victim being less likeJy 10 repon it, according 10 Fall. ''Unfortunately, many of our young people do not understand that if they have ~n out together aod one wanlS to go further than the other-that if the gtrl says 'No' and is forced-that this actually is a rape. These rapes are seldom ever reported," she said. "We do get a few of them, but generally 1.1.·omen feel tllis is not something they c:an talk about. (Often they believe 11la1) maybe they led the feU01.1.• on, and i1'1 thetr fault.

"Feeling 'to blame' and guilty obou1 rape, whether ii ·son attack on the street or a dote or nquointan~ rope. is one of the most common (problems) we have 10 dent with."

Often women who arc raped do not report it, ond if they do, they won't follow th rough with prosecution, Foll said. ''They won' t follow through because first they're raped In body and then 1hcy arc raped by the system," she said.

Although mony strides have been mode to protect rape victims. many limes there arc still horrendous thmgs o vu:tim must go through within the legal system. according to Fall.

On 1he whole, however, she said she is pleased with the Kootenai County Prosecutors Office.

The Coeur d'Alene Rope Crisis Center, which is affiliated with the Coeur d'Alene Women's Center. is staffed by volunteers who will accom· pany victims 10 1hc hospital and help them through rhe legol process if they choose 10 go that route. They mo inly try to make victims aware of their opuons ~ well as help them in the recovery process. according to Fall.

ding or amendments, she said.

The members are aware, when writing policies, of the possible effects on NIC students and employees, Pidcock said. For this reason, the committee holds public meetings on sensitive topics to bear opposing opinions, Schmitz said.

In addition. the board of trustees gives each policy two readings before it taxes effect, Schmiu said.

A non-c.ontroveniaJ policy talccs an average of live months to follow this counc., Schmitz said, and some policies begun last summer have not been completed.

The committeecurreruJy is in the d~lopmem stage with a general harassment policy and a sick leave policy, she said, and a sexual harassment policy has been sent from the Senate to the school lawyer for approval.

Another policy in the devdopment stage is the foundation of a "sid banx," Schmiu said.

"A sicl: banx is a means of allowing employees who suffer a catastrophic illness.....,.;th extended recovery lime" to "borrow" from the sick leave fund until longterm disability payments would take over, she said.

NIC employees who wish 10 become a member would donate an amount of sick leave time to the fund, she said. From this reserve, payments would be given to those in need, whose regular sick leave time had been used. WbCD the fund falls to a predetermined lcveJ, members woo@ again be asked 10 donate, Schmitz said.

A complex policy. a sick bank requires the committee to draw up specific rules and accounting procedures Lo govern use of the fund, she said .

Operating under lhe direction of Dean of Academic Affairs Dennis Conners. a diverse group of NlC employees is working to revise the college policy manual.

According to the NlC constitution, the welfare commiuee's function is Lo review existing policies for modification or cancellation, vocational compuler insuuctor Maxine Schmiu said.

Conners bdievcs campus representatives should ta.Ice part in the revision, history instructor and co-chair Pat Pidcock said.

Conc:cmed wi1h such policies as sick leave, sabbatica.ls, general and sexual harassment and formulation of a "sick bank," the decisions affect students. facuJty, the administration and support staff, Schmitt said.

While many policies are sent from other commitLees for comment or are manual revisions, some originate within the committee and several Sleps are followed before the policy is formulated, Schmitz.said.

First, members wiJJ brainstorm for ideas and examine ways other institutions have dealt with the siluation. An infonnaJ subcommitlec wriles a rough draft, and Lhis is read and debaled on by the fuJI committee.

Revisions are suggesled, and the policy is rewriucn.

Afler being reread for organization, the policy is sent 10 the Faculty Senate for approval, Scluniu said.

If the Senate approves the wording and content, I.he policy is sent to the president and the Administrative Council and then to the board of ltuStees, Schmiu said.

Besides Schmitz, other members of the commiuec include accountant Glenmar Fullmer. Director of Housing Becky Coffman, physical sciences instructor Lloyd Marsh, Director of Nursing Education Joa n Brogan and computer lab supervisor Toni Spatola, Schm.i lZ said.

Pidcock and biology instructor Bob Murray are cochairmen. SchmilZsaid, and Dean of Administration Rolly Jurgens is a permanent member.

For Pidcock, who moved to Coeur d"AJene in January 1987, and whose son Matt is a vocational student, the committee offers several rewards.

"Democracy is writing your own laws and governing yourself," and people must assume responsibilily for government. she said.

An opportunity for responsibility and involvement, the committee also offers Pidcock a view of how the campus functions, she said.

Working with the commiuec is enjoyable because "everyone's working together for the good of the whole communiry," Schmitt said.

"It's kind of fun to feel that you're a pa.rt of the whole deveJopment process" and the commi11cc allows individuaJ creativity in its drive to bring benefits to all groups on campus, she said.

The enthusiasm of the committee is shown by the new members, who gain a "sense of purpose very rapidJy'" and volunteer for projects, she said.

Members feel they are "making a slab at getting something accomplished" and arc le:wing a legacy for NIC, she said.

Six-pack for lunch dream of Michigan pasty maker

by Kim Hester People in Michigan refer to a sevencourse meal as a silt-pack of pasty and a drink, special education major Karen Peterson, an expert on the subject, said.

Made up of meal, potawes, c.1rrot.s and onions in a flaky crust, pasties are a nutritious, quick and healthy snack that Petason makes and sometimes sells 10 catering businesses. She s.ud that the next step would be selling 10 grocery stores .

Due 10 18 credits and two children to care for at home, Peterson said that pasties have been "put oo the back burner for now," but she hopes 10 get involved in making t.hcm again when she bas the free dme.

"It's a lucrative business. Plus, you arc your own boss and have Ocxible hours." she said.

Described as "really good." pasties originally came from \J. aJes, Peter· son said. When lhe rmoish people began to settle in upper Michigan, wives of miners made pasties to put in lbeir husbands' lunches. The meat pies 11oere seen mostly as a staple food. she explained.

=--'

~...................

Tim Clo~nsen photo

The miners liked the pasties because they could heal them up over fires and have a hot meal. The miners' wives liked the pasties because many could be made at one time :ind then frozen and saved for lunches, rather that having to make a different meal evesyday.

Anthropology instuctor Duke Snyder said that Peterson, a former student of his, was only being modest when she said that the pasties were "really good."

They arc "fantastic(!)" he conlended, comparing them to the strawberry cream mufflllS al Nic's.

The mOSl mcaningful aspca of pastymaking, Pclcrson sajd, was when a group thal she was in from St. Pius church worked LO make a free pasty lunch for Lhe Ecumenical Food Kitchen, which sponsors free lunches on Thursdays. She said lhat it was the "most rewarding and gratifying thing" she ever did with the pasties.

Peterson, who attended summer school l.ast year at NIC, and who plans to go again this year, will graduate at the end of July.

She said that maybe then she can get back 10 making pasdes.

Vet Club participation down to stereotypes

by Celeste Tritz

In 1964 young men were sent to a place that many did not want to see-Vietnam. When lhese young men returned to their homeland t.hey were not greeted with me customary pageanuy cttcnded toward war heroes.

Some were spat at by people on the street, and neighborJ slammed doors in their faces for parucipating rn a war that many of them were opposed to in the first place.

The media revealed the vehemence acts of Lhe Vietnam war to the American society. Ne..,,'S broadcasts showed Buddhist monks drenched in gasoline, immolating themselves rn protest. A televised execution of a Viel Cong SU$pccl. of burned babies and of the masacre of 17.S unarmed civilians at My Lai llclped 10 expose the violence to the public.

The public developed an identiry for the American soldiers-merciless killers. These young meo were not accepted as the humanitarians most were. The American society failed 10 recogruz.e that lhcse soldiers v.ere acting out of patriotism.

When they returned from war these young men not only had to sll\lggle wilh lhe emotional distress experienced in Vietnam, but they also faced the strife of an American society that had 1Umed their backs on them.

Many yeari, have passed, and some of the vet.erans have overcome lhe emotional and social connict. Some arc still dealing with it.

A change has also been seen in the attitude of the American society. Some criucism still exists. but conttm of the vc1cran5 has oo;ome indiffcrem.

At North Idaho College the membership of the Veterans Club has decreased from 12 in 198.S to six at presenl. The reason for the decrease, according 10 Joe Martin, club president. is the veteran stereotype.

"We (the club) are seen as cigar-smoking old men who do nothing but sit around and tell old war stories," Martin said.

This belief is contrary to the club's activity. he said.

"Mostly .,.,e arc an avenue or communication for veterans, students and the community to promote good will," he said.

Projec'I.S such as the annual flag raising, a hallowecn pany and donations 10 deserving causes such as multiple sclerosis area few of the activities that the Veterans Club is involved with.

"Due to the decrease in membcnhip our (the club's) budget has b«o limited." Martin said. "This results in limiting our activity."

One activity that the Veterans Club is conc:emed and actively iovohed with is Prisoners of War (PO\V's}.

"I believe we (America) still have prisoners alive in Viet.narn," Martin said.

The dub's involvement in this issue currently entails writing letters lo congressmen. Tbe purpose of writing lcuers is to inform congressmen of the concern for POW's, according 10 Martin.

A problem that the Veterans Club is ha\ing. though, is informing the student population what it is about.

The veteran stereotype just does not fi1, he said.

"We are an organization with definiLC needs just like every other club on campus," he said. "The thing that students tend to misunderstand is the qualifications for members. We arc open to all vets and non-vets."

Al present the club has only one female member, Martin's v.ife.

"We would like 10 ha\'C more women interested in (the club}." he said.

In the past the club's constitution stated that nonvets wm only ronsidcrcd associate members. They had no voting privileges, he said. That since has changed.

All members of the club ha,e the same rights.

Martin will be transferring 10 another school after this year and has hopes that Pat Kenworlhy. viccpresident, will take over his l)OS!tion. " I really want this club (O conuouc, •• Manin said. " Most people arc interested in us but arc afraid to explore us."

Joe Martin Approximately two decades ha,•c passed since the Vituwn war, and vmrans are still trying 10 find an identity. Pan or tha1 identity can be found in the Veterans club on campus.

"Promoting comradcry wilh others and creating.an image for not only veterans but also for the school is what we arc about."

continued from page I Options other than taking money from the studcnt.s or general operation runds exist, according to Svcrdstcn.

"There are other sources. I don't know what those would be; it depends on how 1he legislature would formulate, but perhaps (NIC) Foundation dollars could be used,·• he said. "The amount of adjacent count y support to Lbe institution is an other option. Right now the county pays for )ome tuition because it's so low."

Even though Bennett recommended the proposal be put on hold, he and others expressed concern over the loss of accrcdidation. "(lf the proposal doesn't pass) we will

be six years away from funding the library," he said.

Svcrdstcn said lhe problem of accrcdidat.ioo with lhe library didn't begin until 1983.

"In 1973 there was no problem: lhen in 1983 space became a question. Now we're up for inspcct:ion again, and we've bad a 24 percent enrollment ioc:rca:sc." he said.

Inst.J'Uctor Chris Wold wd !.hat while she bcliC\'ed the faculty and legi.slal.Jvc committee applauds the cffon for aeat.ivc suppon 10 fund the library, she was v.omcd that the fmal cost of the library v.ould be high ~ith the anr.cn:st payed over a JO.year period.

Svcrds1en, however, assured her Lhal the interest an institution pays is less than a household for financing.

''Th.ink about ii in another way," Benncn said. "We're going 10 be six years away from getting a library, and "'e're facing a.ccredidacion problems.

Then (in silt years) instead of SJ million, ~e·u have 10 ask for S7 or SS (million} because of the cost increase. We need 10 come 10 grips with this. The srudeot need a library now, oot seven or eight )'Can down the line."

Replying lo worries of the final cost of the horary and the JO.year obligation to the college, Bcnneusaid tha1 ''In tbe

~

U.S. for the last 60 10 70 years we have assumed credit to get things we need now. We need 10 quit fooling around with incidental and experimental plans and go with something that works."

In addilion, since the Lcgislal\Jre is talking of winding down in March, Bennett said Lhat hopcfuUy this will force people to come 10 grips more quickly.

Fran Bahr, English instructor, said that the college seems to be working on an either/or basis. " I hear that either we remodel or we can do nothing for six years. Maybe we can do something temporary now without comrniting myself," she said.

National champs!

Wrestlers grapple with fourth straight title I,

by Randall Green Four in a row! Luck? Not in this case. This IS a case of an immense amount of hard work, ra"' talent and determination. A Cinderella story come true for none other than the ones who deserved it-the powerhouse Cardinal wrestling team.

Of course. NIC fans thought John Owen·s wrestling team could repeal lase season's national title. but another Idaho junior college team, Ricks. had its hean SCl on stealing the title the Card matmen have held for three previous consecutive seasons.

Owen had even expressed his doubts about the possibility of winning ano1her championship. He had said how cough Idaho's 1eams were this )'Car. especially Ricks.

Although chis year the wrestling team seemed to lack any dominant leadership, ii rallied and rose 10 the OC· casion 1h:11 some junior collegiate a1hlc1es only dream about-the National Junior College Wrestling Cham· pionships. which were held in Glen Ellyn. Ill.. near Chicago. The Card wrestlers are now the proud ownm of 1heir four1h straight national title.

Qualifying mnc out of 10 men in the regional t0urney two weeks ago al Moses Lake, Wash.. NIC advanced to the national tournament as slight favomes over second-ranked Ricks.

Assistant coach Bill Pecha estimated that 240 wrestlers were at the national 1oumament. representing about 59 teams. He said that on))• about 800 diehard fans auended the C\'enl. but a large percentage of chem were North Idaho fans.

"We came out blazing and won all of our firstround matches.·· Pecha said. "That gave us some momemum we really needed.··

This year v.115 a season in which the Cards had very few rerurning national 1ournameD1 veterans, so NJC didn't k.now what 10 expect. Pecha said, expressing views shared by Owen.

Owen was quoted at sa)iag lllal: ''Somehow, some way. we found a way 10 win ... ·'The guys ha,c bad lot.s of ups a.ad downs this season," Pecha said. "We have some really good wrestlers, but they have been ,·cry inconsistent."

Although psychological problems bad plagued many competitors, lhc gu)·s got up for the big one, Pecha said, and that is wha1 counted.

During the second round, amidst six matches going simul1.aneously. onl)· two cards fell, ,•it:tims of tough opponenLS or tough breaks, Pecha said. Scott Bradey was one who lost a cough match to a competitor who ultimately ended up in the finals, Pecha said.

With seven men advancing into the quaner-finals, NIC was in the lead Friday. The Cards ad\'anccd fi\·e men into the ~i-fina!s. Alphonso Lawes was having a great match and got in a 1ougb situation tha1 ultimately cost him his match, Pecha said. Lawes basically out wrestled his opponent, and lhe loss "'as a real tough one for us, Pecha said. '"Now. for the first time, the "'inning momentum that we started with was swtiag to slow," Pecha said.

Gregg Butteris lost also, but the guy who beat him ended up champion in !tis weight division. Three ou1 of lhc remaining five lhen ad\'anccd into the semifinals. Butteris was the only one who had lost a previous match who was able to get ill through the "back door" ,ia wrestle-back matches.

In the semi-finals. Gordie Lacroix lost 10 an eventual national champion. When Owen and Pecha began worrying about the momentum shifting 100 much in favor of the oppenents, Bob Cadden and Jim ?uunan bo1h won. boosting 1he team's spirits. ·•we only won lhree matcbC$ out of nine Friday night," Pecha said.

Pecha said all of a sudden everyone was gelling excited-Ricks was within striking distance with lhree winners in the "'restlc-back matches and 1hrec men heading into the finals, and Northwes1 Wyoming was hot on Ricks' heels. At 1his point everyone was realizing that NJC wasn't going to run away wi1h 1he title, Pecha added.

SatUJday morning, Buueris was the only man with a match, and he bad to wrestle a man from Ricks. The winner would advance 10 the finals on Saturday. "ll was 1ense, but Greg won in overtime,"' Pecha said. "So we managed 10 stay slightly ahead of Ricks.

If the Ricks kid had beaten Greg, they would have won the utle."

Ultimately, Lacroix at the 126-pound class placed 4th; Scott rilias at 167 placed 3rd; Cadden a, IS8 and Putman at 177 placed 2nd. NIC linishcd with 84!/. points. Ricks was second with 78, closely followed by orthwest Wyoming wilh 72.

"Idaho had the best showing-even the Wyoming coach is an ex-Idahoan," Pecha said.

Owen said national titles are speciaJ. This one really bas a special meaning 10 him; it was particulariJy challenging, he said. It 100k a lot of time and effo~. ll is a credit to the commionent NlC bas made 10 its wrestling program, Owen said.

sentinel sports )r------NIC Lady Cards southbound to nationals

bv Kim Hester

For the last seven months, the Lady Cardinals basketball team has undergone intense conditioning and rigorous workouts while under the watchful eyes of co-coaches Greg Crimp and Vic Woodward.

Last weekend, while hosting the Region IS womens' basketball tournament, the team fulntled its long-term goal of a berth at the NJCAA national tournament by defeating both Salt Lake City and Utah Valley Community Colleges. ' 'It was a super weekend," Woodward said . "Good, exciting basketball... thc girls played hard.' ' With a shaky start. the Cardinals opened the tournament play on Friday night against SLCC not quite as aggressively as Woodward had hoped.

"We got into foul trouble, and it caused us 10 play o little tentatively."

With 2:46 left in the game and NI C ahead only by three points, SLCC had gained enough momentum for the NI C coaches to call a time out. The play the coaches designed in the huddle figured 10 be the turning point for the Cardinals.

Cheri Sharp, who proved to be a vital

contribuuoo, came back out on the coun and began roding the Bruins' surge by cuuing through the paint for an easy lay-up.

Nl C went on to defeat Salt Lake City 73-67.

Teosion built for the Cardinals a.s they entered Saturday night's championship game against long-time nemesis Utah Valley. The game started out close, but the Cardinals took control b} outrebounding the Wolverines 40-23.

"That's pretty incredible because 11oc matched up pretty well sizc..11oi5c with them, and they had been a good rebounding team," Woodward said. " We dominated the inside pan of the game, and our ournde girls handled the pressure really ..cu."

Utah Valley's sw player, Stephanie Trane, tried to bring the Wohcrines back into tht game but the Card5 were unrelenting, dcfeaung Uta.b Valley 83-6-l. and claimed the nght for the Region 18 champ\onslup.

Picked for the nil-tourney team were Cheri Sharp, Shellc) Stcigdman and Darla Smith, who was named the most valuable player of the Region 18 tournament.

''1 like the v.11y we're playing; we're playing with confidence." Woodward said. " We'\-C played together as a team a.II year lotlil, and that's what it u1kes when you get down to tournament tim.c. •• The Card.tnals depan ror the NJ CAA national tournament, held in Senatobia,

Miss.. Saturday. and play their first game against the Region 20 champions, AUcgheny County Community College on Tuesday at 9 o.m. C.S.T. Observers might say that this Lime. winning is up to the Cards, rather than in them.

Foreign students add international flair to sports

by Don Olson

He may or may not make the 1eam, bul the opportunity is presented by only a few phone calls, according 10 Williams.

"When you have nn A.lajawan (who played on the NCAA Division I champion Houston Cougars baslce1bn1l team) who mnkes an impact the wny be did, it makes it more desirable from the standpoint of building a winning program."

Williams said.

Winning programs are the important factor.

"We've go110 make sure we've go1 the best show in town," President Robert Bennett said. ''We've go1 the toughest (community college) league in 1he United States. This league dominates the national 1ournamen1s, so in 1ha1 light we've got 10 be selective about our players. " I doubt ii costs us any more (than recruiting the loca.1 player). Most of the support comes from state and local funding. I do, however, believe we should give every effort in recruiting the loca.1 athlete. I wrestle with the concept nod 11.'allt to give the loca.l athlete as much a chance as possible 10 make the team.

We have a repo051l>ilil)' 10 take care of the local. People in 1he community would ltlce to sec ii."

Bui reality plays a hand in the concept of seeing locals compete on the college lcveL ''There is a question of how many can compete ai this level," Williams said. " Idaho is a heavily recruited state. We have a lot of (big colleges) surrounding us, so when the opportunity does come up (10 recruit a local ta.lent) he may not be there," Williams said. "Sometimes, as was the case with a kid named Mi1chel.1 from Coeur d'Alene, they want 10 get away."

He ended up al Spokane Communil)' College because his mother lived in Spokane and he "'-anted 10 gel away from Coeur d' Alene, Willinms said. adding 1ha1 for the most part he's very pleased with 1hc foreign athletes. ' 'They have an opportunity to compete in wba1 is considered the bes1 basketball in the world,•· Williams said with a smile. "They are good students. It's quite an e.1perience 10 associate with a different culture." " Mario Jackson (a basketball player from Panama) can give his impression of wha1 is happening righ1 now down there. Thal is an impression his fellow students couldn' t get in a classroom.•· Williams said.

Scanning the various sports ros1crs al NIC poses a siwation foreign 10 most s1udenLS. How are some of these names pronounced, aod more to the point, where do these people come from, and bow did they find themselves at NIC? "Oregon St.ate University recruiled me." Gijsbcrt Geerders, a basketball player from Holland, said. ''I arrived a1 OSU (Oregon State Unh·ers'ity), and they sent me here to NIC for two years. After I leave here, I'll go back (to OSU)."

Foreign athletes from all over the wodd fmd their way to colleges in the United St.ates seeking better competition in their specialty, but most agree the bouom line is a belier education than they could receive in their homelaod.

Bui, how did they ge1 to liu.le 'ole NIC? " My rrack coach in Ireland knew (NIC track coach) Mike Bundy, ' ' Audry Caron, cross country runner for NIC, said. "He had se:n1 others here 10 run, so r sent my academic and track records 10 hlm (Coach Bundy) and they offered me a scholorship," she said. ' 'Recruiting is a funny thing," Rollie Williams, bead coach of the men's basketball team, said. "ll's not an exact science. The process has different meanings to different people, but Lhe bottom lioc is recruiting the best players possible. For me and my program, that means recruiting a guy who is a good player and a good person. I don't want 10 rcaui1 trouble, but I wan110 put together the best program I can," he said.

A quick look at other Region 18 ros~rs reveals on.ly two colleges tha1 don' t have a foreign atblete. Those arc Dixie College and Colorado Northwestern Community College.

NlC has made room in its track and field team and on its baslcetba.1.1 team for a handful of players from across the water. Looking al i1 from a fl5C8J point of view rcvca.ls a recruiting procedure Lhal is based most.ly on "word of mouth".

"Al the Ricks game," Williams said, "I ran into a coach I know who told me about a kid from Yugoslavia. After he gave me 1be information it's up to me to call some coaches I know in bis area and get Lheir opinion on wba1 the kid has."

If it all develops well. this player from Yugoslavia will be invited to NJC.

Simulator stimulates climbers in weight room

by Randall Green

A new strength and stamina training device has been installed in the Chris· tianson Gym weight room, located upstairs above the trophy cases.

ASNlC Outdoor Activities Director Dean Bennett said the strange looking pull-up-like board is built and distributed by Metolius Mountai n Products of Bend, Ore.. , and is designed 10 be used for strengthening fingers. hands. wrists. elbows and shoulders.

According to world<lass rock climber Alan Watts, the " Simulator" board is made of epoxy-resins. texturizcd with sand and shaped Lo simulate climbing holds. Watts said the design came from the Europeans-es~ially the French. who have taken sport climbing to a new level of athletic sophistication. Watts, a hard<limb pioneer at Smith Rocks near Bend, worked with Simulator designer Chris Grover LO develop the board.

Wam said the trends in sport rock dim· bing have incorporated trail\ing methods not unlike how world<lass gymnasts prepare for the rigors of their sport.

Although the device s~ifically is designed for rock climbing training, Benncu said he hopes anyone exercising in the weight room will take advantage of the new cxccrcisc apparatus. He said Jim Cuhra 's maintenance mechanic welders built a met.al mounting frame for the board; the campus maintenance

handymen then conveniently mounted the apparatus oo the west wall of the weight room.

" This is one of the many ways the ASNIC Outdoor Pursuits program intends to suppon up-and-<:orning Ufe sports."

\\'atts said the board's design came about after U.S. climbers began model· ing French climben' training methods.

He said several professional French climbers who visited Smith Rocks (Watts' and Gro\'er's home turf) assisted Metolius in dt'eloping theu training programs.

II just so happened that Wam developed a combined tendorutis {tendon inOamation) and joint inOamat.ion problem in his fingers during the time Metolius was designing prototype boards and training programs, so he was very interested in learning about dif· fercnt training methods for climbing.

Watts' injury had been prompLed by

climber) suggested a rehabilitation train· tng program thal involved a combination of resting and e.,ccrcising my fingcn by Sl.lllulating pulling on climbing holds during my recovery period," Waw said.

The present idea for off-sea.son training bas .,,.orked so well for others that many elimbcn ha\'t started uamlng with finger boards, hoping to prevent chronic ftngcr ail.menu and strengthen the delicate joints t0 the hand that arc so prone to tnjury.

Bcnncu said the Simulator has a dctachllble elastic 11$Sisl cord, which is meant 10 be used as a helper to reduce st.resS to the fingers when starting a training program.

NlC student climber Kyle Aust.in said that the ll'3ining ionruetions attached 10 the wall behind lhc Simulator arc helpful for designing exercising programs, but do not clearly tcll how 10 use

the elastic assist cord. Aus tin said the cord primarily is used ror warming up and introductory training programs or reducing resistnnce on a specific hold.

Austin recommends that first-time Simulator u~ers join him and other climbers who regularly work-out on it at noon weekdays, so they can watch and talk to people experienced with the nuaoecs of the Simulator. &nncll said the cl.utie assist cord can be checked out from the recreation office downstairs in the SUB: the gym weight room is open weekdays, noon until 3 p.m.

"This is one of the many ways the ASNlC Ouldoor Pursulu program in· tends to suppon up-and<omlng life• sports, like climbing," Bennett said. ''We will continue to try and develop student and faculty interc:31 by inviting everyone to get involved."

I was beginning to undernand. Some of t.hese kids were as good at jumping the cornice and cutting tracks through man-eating moguls as some of the hot skiers. What really became the coup de grace was when I saw two of these guys

************* As I rode the chairlift to the top of Schweitzer a couple winters ago, I noticed for the first time a displaced surfer descending the ski slope under the chairlift and I remember thinking, "This seems odd-surfing on snow?"

I told a friend that I had seen someone "snurfing, " and he promptly corrected me. " T hat's not snurfi ng, man-that's snowboarding, and it's cool!"

J had been out of the skiing scene for a couple of years after ripping up one of my knees while coaching ski racing, so this "snowboarding" thing was totally new to me. My friend said that it had been around for over five years or so. but it was just beginning to catch on in the Northwest. Now, on any given weekend as many as 50 of these crazies can be seen " shredding" the slopes at Schweitur.

Oh yes, with the new sport has come a new jargon. They ride boards with names like: the Hooger Booger Comp., the Barfoot Freestyle, Winterstick, GNU's Hypercarve, the Sims Blade and Storm Boards' Variable Shredder.

Since I had been in the cultural backwater of North Idaho for several years. I didn't understand what shredding meant. I soon found out.

At the beginning of the sea.son, I was again riding the chairlift to the top of Schweitzer, but this time I was riding with a "board-head" who quickly set me straight about shredding. lncidently, "board-head" doesn't mean he had

Mauser said lhal Silverhorn has at least 15 regular snowboarders on weekends and may host one of these competitions for regional snowboarders this spring.

Times obviously are changing; trends and fads come and go. I think this trendy sport isn't just a fad. It is natural for the summer surfer to want to cacch a winter wave along a snowy corniced ridge, but when skiers sell their skis to bu)'. snowboards, and ski area rental shops have a host of different boards for rent, I know something is up.

As snowboard instructors like Mauser have told me, snowboarding probably is easier to learn than surfing. It's a bit like skateboarding, but allows the winter mountain "schussboomer" 10 feel the euphoria of cutting lirst tracks down a long slope of fresh powder snow like skiing. Mouser docs both-sk.iin_g and snowboarding. She says it keeps her from getting bored during the long winter months.

Jane Mauser, a snowboard and ski instructor at Silverhorn ski area, told me that snowboarding competitions have been hosted by several ski areas around the country for years. The snowboarders compete in frcc•style events that demonstrate jumping and tricks in a long ~ -pipe (more jargon terminology that skateboarders understand).

To I.he layman, the ~ -pipe is like a Large pipe Lying down with the top edge cut off; the remaining half forms a concave trough. which is used like a surfer uses the curved surfaces on a wave. They also have racing events and run slalom and giant slalom courses ljkc skiers.

To me, though, skiing is skiing and snowboarding is snowboarding-I think I'Li stick to skiing. I know how to do that without falling too much anymore, and I am feeling a bit too old 10 ;<shred."

Warm weather pops up sunny for spring baseball training

by Shannon Hayward

Spring-like weather the past few w«k.s finally has allov.ed the NIC men's baseball team to enjoy Its preferred mode of practice,. Playing outdoors is more firring than practicing Indoors in a basketball gym, according 10 Coach Jack Bloxom.

While the provisions of the gym arc adequate, they don't exactly provide the most ideal practice situations, Bloxom said.

"Naturally, we'd prefer to practice outSide," he said.

Practices begin long before the spring season stans, lhough. The fim eight v.ccks or the fall semester arc devoted to refin.ing s~.ills such as running. hitting and pitching, which may have gotten a bit rusw over summer vacation, Bloxom said. He added that during these practice weeks. the team usually pla)-s IO pracue% scrimmage aames with other area schools like Gonzaga or \Vhitwonh College.

Up to 50 players may rum out for faU practice, but this number is cut down to approximately half by the time spnng roUs around, according to Bloxom.

Beginning around the first of November and extending into February, team members panicipatc in what Bloxom called a study t:iblt program. He said the study table meets five days a wee~ for I Y: hours and gives the play«-S a chance to stud)· their academic courses. Only those wuh a 3.0 or better grade Point a,crage are excused from the program, Blo.,om said.

Players ~Y that in January the training p:icc bcgitn to quid,cn Tbc v.nstling room above the foyer of the gymnasium serves as the main practice area. The room is Luge cnouJh 10 hou\c a c4gc "ith a pitching machine for batting practice. plus a mo\'l.ble patching mound to aid the throwing ann The &)in itself sen~ as a track for running la~.

Bloxom said weight training is also used throughout much of the year in order to help keq, the athletes toned up. " I think we've got a great ball team this year," Bloxom said. "They could possibly challenge last year's team."

Last )'Cl.I the team ended the season with a 32-12 record, which Bloxom felt was the best season yet. In fact, a team record was even broken when 40 homeruns were hit out of the baJliield-10 over the previous record. ''I don't sec us brea.ldng that record again this year," he commented.

Bloxom is a little concerned over the hitting ability of this year's players, which he said is perhaps the major weakness of the team.

"We just don't hit the ball well." he said. "Base hitS, though, (arc) no problem."

Bloxom said the major stttngth, however, is the pitching staff. There will be five rcusming lettermen to help out in this category, he said.

"Out pitching narr IS good this year,'' he said. "After all, that's 80 percent of your team."

This year's starting line-up inc.ludcs six sophomores and two freshman players.

Bloxom wu uncctta.111 whtther returning catcher Bill Bomar. a key player from last year, v,.ilJ be able to play much due to an extensive shoulder injury of his throwing arm.

For the most pan, Bloxom 5ald he as looking forward to the season and is mxiously av.ailing lhe nan of pla)' in order 10 see how well his team fares against the compcciuon. His long-tcrm goal for the 1tason is to win the league championship so that '11C ma) host lhe regional tournament, he said The team will challenge Easten Oregon's junior varsity squad on Saturday, Morch 12,
