Fate of library rests with Legisl.ature

by Shelly Raynor and Celeste Tritz

Original plans. in an dfort to expand the college's library, may be set aside today when President Robcr1 Bennett speaks to the Legislature.

While Bennett said he will focus first on obtaining S4.I million in a 1nrce-year period through a fee replacement policy, he admiucd that ii is highly doubt· ful the entire sum will be granted, forcing him 10 seek recourse and ask for SS00,000 for alternative projects.

With five other educational systems ranked above North Idaho College in need of funding, the Finan-

cial Appropriations Committee (FAQ may be reluc· tant in allotting S4. I million. Theo, Bennett said. he would ask for a reduced amount of money focused on parameters of t.hc campus ct.her Lhan the libraf) .

His priority, though, is centered around the library, according 10 Beoneu.

"I'm presenting them with a cone~! rather than asking for a specific amount of money," he said.

The fee replacement policy operates similarly to a loan in that the college would pay back two-thirds of the total funds allotted. Increased tuition costs would

compe11S11te for some of the debt. Benncu added.

The Legislature docsn 't have enough money 10 take care of all of the colleges in need of funding, according to Benneu. so he's suggesting the committcc adopt the fee replacement policy to make room for a few instirutions instead of just one.

If denied. Bennen has plans for alternative projects. ''I think we have an option if Lhey won't go (for the) fee replacement this year or e,•en give us enough to get staned." Bennell said.

The college may have 10 backtrack and request only a ponion of the proposed dollars. allowing the computer science center to be restructured. nC"Cording to Benneu.

While the library is the main priority in terms of c~pansion and updating for the college, the computer center is second in line, Bcnnc11 said.

Assuming the SS00,000 was gramed to NIC. rcmnovation of the computer center would depend on sc,eral fac1ors. according 10 Rolly Jurgens. dean of admmistr11tion.

First of all, Lhc Department of Public Waters would h3ve to scll 1he Armory (located on the comer of 7th and Walnut Streets) 10 the college. If 1his happened, Jurgens said, NIC \\Ould probably pay SI. Then, SS0,000 of the SS00.000 grant would be used 10 rcno,,ite the Armory, which would house programs such a~ carpentry, marine technology and HVAC (heating. \'Cntilation and air conditioning). along with the 1ransport111ion department.

The maintenance department, currently located in the Mechanical-Arts Building next 10 1hc computer center, \\Ould then move 10 the building on the north end of the cDmpus currently occupied by transport.lllon.

This. in effect. would allow Lhe computer center 10 expand throughout the M-A Building.

These 3!e not hard facts yet, Jurgens said.

"We have only discussed such options," he added.

Despite &nnen's efforts, Board of Trustee member Jacl: Beebe is skeptical about the alternative project.

If granted the SS00,000. the Legislature might write off additionaJ funding toward the library, Beebe said.

"I cautioned him about this in the trustee meeting," be srud. "If the Legislature can get us off of their hooks-and I know the Legislarure well enough-they w1U This is why I told Bennett 10 use this only as a lut resort.

"The library u the first and foremost need of this college. We need 10 be sure and keep moving in a forward d.trcctlon " Jurgens »id be suppom anything Bennneu docs. " He's my bou; I work for him," Jurgens added.

An eloquent voice for equality wu heard b)• an audience of about 1000 m the C-A Audjtorium when Dr. Mamie Oliver spoke in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King on Jan. 18.

Oliver challenged people 10 work ID· di,•idually and collcc1ively for equal rights and 10 remember the meaning of King's dream. ··some people on!) remember Dr. King for his pigmcn1. I need you 10 get over that." Oliver, keynote speaker for the third annual Dr. Marun Luther King Jr. Day, told the crowd. "I challenge you 10 remember the full meaning of the dream-liberty and equality for all.·· Kjng considered himself o "drum ma· jor for JU\Ucc" and was concerned about oppression everywhere in the "'orld, accordi ng 10 Oliver. " He did n't do it (just) for black folks." she said Oliver characterized King's dream as "a celebration of commi1men1 and ac· 1ion'' and said more needed 10 be done 10 insure that the mo,cmcnt for equal rights continued.

"We need a coalition. and "e need 10 get 1oge1her, · · Olh·cr said, and cautioned the crowd, "If )OU don·, >1and for something. you' ll fall for an)1hing."

New registrar

The college lost a secreun· and gained a regisu .i.r Monday.

K = Streeter. a long time emplorce of l'oilC, has resumed the duties of the retiring ltsuko Nishio.

As President Roben Benneu's =etary, Streeter said she decided 10 apply for the registrar job because ii was a challenge to sec if she could get the job.

Sueeter got the job and when she found out this ou1. she said she was pl.easantJy surprised.

"I djdn't expect ii." Streeter said.

Preparing herself for the ne"'' job and adjusting 10 the changes are r"' o of the things that will keep So-etier busy for the next few months, but she said she's "look· ing forward 10 getting staned."

In April, Streeter will a11end a semfoar in Mis.soula for admission offices and registrars throughout Idaho and Montana. She also plans 10 meel with other rcgisi.rars in the area 10 beuer prepare herself for the job.

"I s1ill ha"e a 101 10 learn," Streeter sa,d. "(Secrctar) and registrar) arc 1wo compleld> different )Obs."

Besides prepanng for her job M registrar, S1recter will be adjusting 10 other changes taking place. And even though Nishio will help Stree1e adjus1 to the new job for the rust week, Streeter said she IS slightly apprehenshe.

"There is no way she can tell me everything she's learned: she will be difficult 10 follow. " Streeter said.

Even with the apprehension and excitement of her new job, Succtcr said she will miss her job as the presi· dem's sccrewy.

"It's almost like a small family unit-I'm going 10 miss being over here (in the president's .oflicc),'' Streeter said. "I will miss Dr. Bcnnen: he IS a good boss.·· Streeter began working al NIC as a records clerk in the regisuar's office after graduat.ing from the c~l· legc in t 963 ,,..;th an Associa1c of Arts dcgr~ 111 business.

Two-year calendar brings changes to 1988

by Ken Allen SludentS aucnding NIC next year could be an for a surprise come finals' v.cck next fall if the 1wo-year calendar for 1988-90 is approved.

On 1be proposed calendar, final ex.an» ....,11 be held Thursday-Sawrday, Dec. 15-17, and Monday, Dec. 19.

The concept of holding testing on a Saturday might seem iJl,mspired by some students, but according to the members of the College Senate, it 1s not uncommon for. and is, in fact, a normal part or most colleg~· procedures.

"I sec no reason why we should refrain from testing (on Saturday) since all the other schools are doing it," astronomy instructor Curtu Nelson said.

Also on the new calendar, teachers would return 10 school on Aug. 23, with regiwation on Aug. 2S and classes beginning on Aug. 29 for the fall semester.

The senare ran into difficulty agreeing on the calendar for the spnng semester because, among other lhinp, the week following spring break no classes will be held on Good Friday.

Some concern wu expreucd over the tune s1udenu would be spending out of cws a1 such close intervals.

The senate members also discu.sscd making Manin Luthcr King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 16. an official school day off as studen u v.ill have an hour excused absence for the presenl3tion, v. bicb most studentS 1urn into t~o hours or a whole day, biology instructor Bob Murray said.

"And since the first day of spring semester is the 16th (Jan. 16), auendence for that day will be reall> decreased," Murray said.

After further discussion on the subject, the senate members decided 10 not change the calendar as submiued by the calendar com.miuec.

In the proposed spring semester calendar. classes would begin for students on Jan. 16, v.i th the facull} returning Jan. 9. RegistJation v.ill be Thursday, Jan. 12.

In other busrncss the senate appro,ed a motion 10 change the college's current poliq on payche-cks for faculty.

Nev. faculiy and returning faculr)' will nov. have a choice on choosing bet,..ecn 12 or 13 paychecks for a year.

The teacbers v.ould still be paid the same yearl}

amount, with the only ch.:lnge being on the amount or each check.

The reason 10 allow the faculty a choice will mainly benefit the new faculty, according 10 senate president

Fran &hr.

"Without this polic)', new faculty members could wind up going a month and a half without a paycheck and end up starving to death," Bahr said.

The 13-month pay period is contingent upon three stipulations: A contract must be signed and returned

by Aug. 15 prior 10 starting employment: working al least fhe duty days during August. and ha,~ng made the oecccssary arrangemenu with the business office prior 10 Aug. 15.

The senate also discussed problems with the policy manual writing procedure.

One of the biggest problems the college welfare commiuec, the senate. and the board of 1rus1ecs are having seems 10 be a lack of time, Bahr said.

The manual was originally slated for completion by September 88'. but even though a special commiuec was created 10 work during last summer on the policies, the manual remains uncompleted.

License for love, not for violence The latch and lock of the bedroom door clicked into place. Janice knew it was Jeff, but rather than greet him she lay still, feigning her sleep. She could only hope the worst would not happen-again. For the past two weeks Jeff had been raping her.

They had been married for almost Iwo years, but lately the communication lines were not connecting between them. Janice trembled every evening when the sun began to set. She knew the darkness meant bedtime, and she knew bedtime meant sex with a husband she no longer wanted. He was. after all, her husband, and Janice was afraid to resist. II was dirty to her, but who would believe that her own husband was raping her? Janice was stuck in the role society gave her.

Even though Janice and Jeff are fictional, the portrayal is a fact.

The Idaho legislature is U)ring to stop the fact by enacting a marital rape law. While Oregon and Washington already have adopted the law and ldaho is in the process. many criticize the idea. Antagonists feel it is an invasion of privacy, that the problem-if it is a problem-should be resolved in the home.

What these people don't realize is that the problem is not solved in the home, and if it weren '1 a problem, our state wouldn' t be working on getting the law through, and the neighboring states would have no use for such.

Often times the victims go through experiences similar to Janice's. They refuse 10 reveal themselves in fear of humiliation, a fear that is not far-fetched. People laugh at what they don't want to believe.

This law, if enacted, would allow some of the pain 10 subside. Some believe that because a couple is married each parmer has a responsibility to have sex wilh the other.

In actuality. each partner has a responsibility to respect the other. A license of marriage isn't a license 10 violence.

That sheet of paper that says two people are joined in holy matrimony doesn't make a spouse any less guihy of rape than Kevin Coe. Idaho is beginning LO realize this. A law could help the victims understand the same.

Student press Court sparks flame; media fires mouth

Shel ly raynor Ink lost its no" and splotched ne"sp:ipers around the nation " hilc words flow10g from broadcasters' mouths aired surrender" hen the Supreme Court split 5-3 for school administration on a C':lSC im otving censorship of a Missoun high school ne" spaper.

The Journalism world may have been bombed, but. despite media panics, it was far from destroyed.

The h1gb coun set a precedence-and only a prttedcIIC'C-for pending and future cases on the same subJcct "hen it backed a Hazelwood high school principal for puUing two pages of a student ne" spapcr that dealt with pregnancy and djvorcc.

Students are worried. They should be. They shouldn't. though, give up and let their ink run dr y as the professional media suggests.

"The Supreme Coun today gave public school officials broad power lo censor student newspapers and olbcr forms of student expression, " was the stalernent lhat came across 1he Associa1ed Press wire the da} the decision was handed down.

The Coun <lid not make a law. The media's taking a good sho1 al it though-purposely or

~laybe it \\On't be put in black and wnite. but in those same colors newspapers arc implying that students renounce their Fusi Amendment rights.

While the fire obviously was dampened. the names are far from out. The professional media doesn't seem to understand ciJaJ

cws makes the media-the media hns no right to make news.

Hopefully high school journalism studcntS will learn that lesson and forget what the media said.

If journnl1sm in ~choot doesn't rcnect the Qme fr~om the professional media cxcer. cises. student~ will succumb 10 outside pressures and carry that weakness into the professional world. An editorial in the "Spokesman Rc:v1c"" said 1h01 the decision taught high school students a needed lesson about freedom of the pre$S and continued III saying that school admmisrrators now may censor the newspapers.

The ar11cle stated that students do not own and should 001 control the papers, In addition 10 saying 1h01 in the "real-world" of journalism, publishers and editors have n right 10 control what appears in their newspapers.

No argument there.

High school newspapers have editors 10 do that job. just as the professional media do. Obviously, they are s1udents-s1ill leaming- 1hus, we create the adviser.

What belier way for students 10 learn than from a few mistakes and an adviser 10 ensure those mistakes aren't 100 costly or "disruptive to the educational process?"

Either someone else realized this or a lot of schools have some extra funds on the payroll to hire advisers.

Students are dependent upon the competency of the adviser. The administration is depended upon to hire a competent adviser.

By requesting to proofread an enure newspaper before it goes 10 press, the administration itself must not feel com

its selection of the adviser.

In this case, perhaps the cables could be tur:n¡ ed so students could determine if i1 is a quali1y education lhey are, indeed, receiving. fn any case, s1udents have to kee~ 1hc ~re in their bellies and figb1 for wha1 15 1he1rs.

Otherwise, lhe flames have died.

Schizophrenic sophomore or so-so freshman? ken allen As far as questions go. this one seems fairly harmless-at least when fus1 asked.

As we grow up, and presumably become wiser with age (granted 21 is still considerably young-but nonetheless aged), we find out that our quick, childish response 10 " What do you wam 10 be when you grow up?" was really pre11y far fetched and improbable.

Our answers weren't based on what we thought we wanted 10 do but what we knew we were going to do-depending of course on what our favorite television show happened to be at the time.

We didn't Lake into account any mitigating factors that might serve as roadblocks in our journey through life-like knowing you're going to be a doctor but realizing one day, when you barf all O\er the school nurse, that lhe site of blood makes you sick-literally.

Or you realiu your goal 10 become a mechanic will never be met-as your cursing dad cuts through the axe I on your bike \\ith a 1orch, because you managed 10 strip the hcxnut completely round and smooth with that old crescent wrench.

Of course, other reasons exist for not being able 10 fulfill your life's desire. These reasons include where you live, how you live and ho\\ wealthy your parents are What's great about life 1s that we have several years 10 thinJ: about what we want to do and several years to realize we just aren't e\er going 10 make it as, let's say, a cowboy, no mailer ho\\ many 1imes we spll and yell "Yee Haw" in one day.

chains we liked 10 call high school. It is now that we must truly decide on the two possible paths of our future-college or life with money and a real job.

I took the path of poverty and chose college, thinking I would manage to get by for four years until I graduated and instantly bec4me the president of some major corporation.

But, in the rwo and one half years I've been out of high school. I've amassed enough credits 10 be considered either a freshman who had a so-so first year or a schizophrenic sophomore who keeps changing his major.

Mentall)', I've changed my major 20 times. but officially only once: from undecided 10 journalism 10 undecided-which is really three 1imes, but I never said I was a math major. so gimme a break.

The reason I. and others like me. have a nearly impossible time in deciding on a major can be blamed directly on our high school counselors-they are the ones 10 blame, I'm sure of it.

Sure, they told us what 10 take in high school to get ready ror college, but they ne,er really 1old us wbat college life was like. only that it was harder than bigb school. This has got to be the biggest understatement of the century.

It's not that the material is so impossible 10 learn or understand. It's the amount of material on a specific subjec1 that seems hard to obtain.

Take. for instance, biology majors. It's likely that a prospective biologist will take several biology classes for several years 10 reach his/ her graduation requirements.

I understood the possibilities of this in high school but not the ramifications. h's likely that living and ea1ing and breathing the same thing for four, five or six years might become tiresome and boring 10 an indhidual-especially since nobody's are gelling rich during this time.

This brings us back to that most dangerous question, "What do you "am 10 be" hen you grow up? .. If I had an opportunity to go back to kindergarten and answer tha t again I wouldn't say a helicopter pilot. or Don Knotts, or even the sreat Marlin Perkins. l 'd really go out on a hmb and ans,,er "Nothing.

Dear Ed11or: I am responding 10 the editorial appearing tn the Sentinel on Dec. 10.

198"" concerning "the stench of poor sportsmanship" a11ribu1ed 10 the cheerleaders during the basketball game against Ricks College.

Thts 1s my third year as coach of the squad and we've had many obstacl~ to o,ercome. One thing tllat has real)) helped us is the :-;cA .\ sanctioned Universal Cheerleadm Assooation Summer Camp Lhat v.e'\e attended for the p:u1 , ... o years. ~Ian, of the chears and 1dehnc "-C do \\t\e learned from the cemfied 1nstnmors a1 this camp. Colleges such as the UniHrsit) ot Hav.au, lJn1,mi1y or Arizona and California State ll"\m as v.ell as our el,es (the only I\\O year college thert'J, attend this camp to learn nev. rouunes and 10 better 1heir ik11ls as a ~uad.

The cheer in question, "Beal Lhe heU out of. .. ," v.as one of the cheers learned at this camp. This cheer IS not io1ended to professionalize unsportsmanlike conduct. The squad g~ out of its way not 10 be in\'olv-

ed in anyth.ing remotely resembling questionable beha,•ior. The squad's job is 10 get the crowd involved through actions and words that 1hey can relate 10. We apologize if we have in any way offended anyone.

That was not our intention. We were performing a cheer, that's all.

The squad and I work harder than many people realize. We are dedicated 10 being the best we can possibly be. We've had nothing bUL praise for what we have accomplished so far. l'm sorry this person or people were insulted.

It's too bad that an editorial like this has to appear in a public newspaper when one or 1wo inquiries to the source (myself) would have ans\\erc:d any questions or responded to any comments one might have.

Hopefully, this one wri11en opinion will not "sour" the seven months of hard work and dedication of m)' squad. They're great kids and are doing a great job. I couldn't be prouder.

Sincerely,

Linda Benncll ~IC cheerleading coach

Fort Shermans Officers' Quarters (1988)

Fort Shermans Officers ' Quarters (1887) Ongs, was voted 10 be renamed "Fort Sherman Officer's Quarters" a1 1hc Dec. 21 board of trustccs meeting.

Second only to the Cataldo Mission in age. the McHugh House. one of the first sLruc1urcs in Camp Coeur d'Alene. was buiJ1 in 1878 as a home for U.S. Calvary officers and 1heir families.

An 1879 Army repon described the house as a "one and one-half s1ory frame building... unlinithed bu1 occupied and comfortabk '· During the ncxl decade. 1hc officer's row of cighl buildings S1Ie1ched along prcsen1 day Garden Avenue and s1ood a1 1he heart of" hat became Fort Shermon and even1ually Coeur d'Alene.

On March 9, 1900. 1he pos1 was oificially abandoned. and the remaining buildings were sold tivc years later. The officer's row then scf'\'cd as aparunents, ramily homes and boarding houses for the nex1 several decades.

In 1979. the McHugh and McCormick houses. 1ogether wi1h the · 1i11le red chopel" and the powder keg, were nomina1ed to the National Register of Historic Places as a memorial to the origins of Coeur d'Alene. Today, of the two homes. only the MeHugh House remains.

Due to the increasing student population, the need for parking space and the high cos1 of saving the building, the board of trustees voted to rau the McCormick House in 1983. Although communit)' members, local history buffs and teachers tried 10 save the building. the house was desuoyed. NIC professor Judith Syhc said.

"There was a huge public ruckus about that, nod what the college did. in 0

McHugh House. Although the upsums is =nti:illy untouched, the college

reroofcd the house and installed new healing and plumbinit fixturt"s.

Today, the lower Ooor houses the North Idaho History and Folllifc Center. The cemer includes the Scouisb studies and history programs. The house is also home to several mathematics and English instructors.

What does the Stcond century bold for this gabled. clapboard house with its bay window?

Since the tower floor has been remodeled and modernized. Sylte, leader of the dri,·e to sa,e the building, said she would like 10 Stt the restoration of the upstairs to its original condition.

This would give more seo.se of its his1oric character. she said.

Although the top floor was remodeled to make apanments after the fort was abandoned, more of the building's original features remain upstairs. she said. So il makes sense to l"CS'lorc the upper floor.

"People aced to be reminded. including some of the adminimators that ha,'C come in just the la.st tv. o or three years. that the college has promised the communit)' not only to preserve the building, which they're doing. but to preserve it for a use that the public can enjoy, including the upstairs, .. she said.

With the expanding college role in the communiry, including semor citiz.cn ouLreach, Lhe college would like to remodel the upstairs for much-needed office space or a meeting room. President Robert !Knnett said. The building 11.ould be a good place for a small meeting room, he said, because the

Historical Soclct)' 11nd the college are opplying for grants, he said.

More than this. though, 1hc college must do more to let the public know the , olue of this histortcal treMure. Syhe (!ltd.

MUSiC man

Sandpoint guitar-maker markets worldwide Before the music came the player. before the player the instrumeru, and someplace in all of that falls lhe instrument maker.

Stepping into the Sandpoint, Idaho, operations of Lhe Frankli n Guitar Company brings I.bat continuum graphically 10 life.

It's a shop filled with woodworking tools, custom jigs and guitars in various stages of completion. A fine patina of sawdust covers ~ ·erything tn the room. Stan· ding amidst the seeming chaos is master luthier Nick Kulcich. the heart, soul and bui!daof Franklin guitars.

A !uthier-a builder of minged irmrumenu- has roots in the renaissance an of lute making.

Kulcich is the glue which bonds these ch.aotk surroundings 1n10 a place of perfect order. cuming out world-class guitars and selling them on a global basis.

"I don't ~I! many gu11an around here," Kukicn said of the Northwest in general. "! o fact. I've sold more guatan in Europe this year than ! have an the United States (altogether)," he added.

Kul.ich att ributes the overseas sales boom primarily to the devaluauon of the American dollar.

"When our money i.s weak aU we hear about is ho-. expensive imported good1 are to buy. So I figured -.hy not turn that around and S<"nd our goods to foreign coun1rie1? They get a dilcount and I'm developing a world market,'' Kuk1ch said.

Virtually all of his in,ome is generated from his Sandpoint workshop, where Kukich builds ond repairs guitars and turns row materials into parts for his instruments.

Recently, he has broadened his interests in the an of guiuir building. The Juthier now involves hunsc!f in the process of searching out and actually logging some or the woods he uses in guitar making.

By carefully selecting only the finest virgm Engleman spruce trees from the northern-most point or Idaho, Kukich has developed a source for highgrade guitar top materials. '' I got 1n10 the wood businC'Ss because I'm a guitar bu IIder, and I need the spruce for my ms1ruments. Ir not for 1hot fact, I'd beju~, another lumber,ack in lhe

woods," the luthm said of his spin-off ,·enture.

Kukich invests a corl5iderab!e amouot of time locaring the stands of Engleman spruce, -.hich he says is a fine!} dC\•eloped skill in itself.

"It's ooi just a liee I'm after," he said. "What I'm looking for is a \·irgin pica: of timber that has betn around for O\er four hundred years. Th.at 's a real special thing." lnitiall}, the guitar maker was intrigued by the op· porrunity Lo be CTC3tively in"olved in more aspccrs of his work, but the wood business has increasingly taken on e life of its own.

"I get anistic satisfaction out of knowing that I can follov. my work from the poiot Y.here it had bark and needles on it until tLS completion,·• Ku.l:.ich said -.ith pride.

"But I'm also enjoying pro,.iding olher !uthiers with qua!it; woods for their in.struments. The ra"' materials are right here in our own state\ You can take the trees and sell them all mer the world, so. in a se=, l 'rn marketing Idaho." Kukich said.

The ad\erti.sing budget for Franklin Guitar Company i~ exactly zero. Forturunel), -.ord-of-mouth has been \Cry good, panic:ularly in Europe and the far ca5t.

At three guita.n a month, Framlin as certain!) not a m35S-production facility. so Kukich stays about four months back-ordered on his guium.

Preferring attemion to dc13il over mass production. the builder has made a name for himself in professional cucles for both his instruments and repair work.

A Im of some or the an.ins"' ho ha'"e sent their gunars to Kokich for custom repatrs reads like a who·s-who of the music industry.

A representative for a major dassical guitar company had been using Kukich as a repainn.an for years and began lo recommend him to artists like Andres Sego"ia, Cher Alkins and Joru ~htchcll.

"He was telling them, 'This gu) i~ the ~t there is' and they -.ould slup thru guitm to me to worl. on," Kuk ich said "I thmk lhC) had 1h11 \LSion or a li11lc old bearded man v.ilh specaclcs and an apron on, and here I was playing Chucl. Bem licks on Segovia's gunu!"

A finished Franklin A great deal of the interest in Franklin guimrs stems from rheir use on record and in performance by intcrnationaUy known artists like Al Dimeo!:i, John Renbourne and Stefan Grossman.

Renbourne -.•:is so impressed with his Franklin that he used it exclusively on his "Nine Maidens" album. even including the builder's name and address on the album jacket. Grossman gnve Kukich a similar plug on a nation,.ide public radio program. ·• A frer that one radio show I received quite a few calls from people who had heard Grossman piny his Franklin on rhc air and who \\anted co order guitars over the phone, ·· the builder said.

Since he is involved in all aspects of creating his instruments, Kukkh feels thac the quality of his work remains consistently high, even though the building process mO\CS slowly.

A musician himself, Kukich likens the !uthier's work to that of any other performer.

"Whca someone plays one of my guitars ! \\3nt them to like u, because it's a persona! artistic statement," he said_ "What I do is just an offshoot of thr performing ans.·• In marketing Idaho to the world, Kukich suggesLS that lhc state's focus be moved from root tubers 10 tbe region's real natural resource: its anistic commtlllJ!y. "ln.uead or advertising Famous Potatoes, \\hy don't ..,c teU the world about our Famous Artists?" Kukkh a1Led Wb; not, indeed.

Alternative Oscars needed to represent cinema's best I

tim

clemensen

•

The year 1987 brought many mO\ies to the silver screen. With Academy Award's j ust around the comer here are some categories tha'l should be included come Oscar time.

The best family film hands down is "Harry and Hendersons.'' The story of a lovable Bigfoot who is found in the woods by a family and brought down into civilization.

In the field of comedy, Steve Martin's modem day tale of Cyrano de Bergerac, "Roxanne," is the best. Martin is wonderful as the big-nosed C. D. Bales pursuing the charming Roxanne (portrayed by Daryll Hannah).

The year 1987 saw oo end to sequels.

However, the best sequel of the year wasn't really a sequel. but the continuing adventures of the dashing James Bond in "The Living Daylights."

Oliver Stone's film "Wall Street,·· takes top

The three men have performed succcssfuJJy all ~er the world since 1983.

Some of their pcrformances iaclude "Savage Chicken,'' "The Detective" and a Disney Tele, ision Channel special. According to C-A Auditonum

honors as the best drama of 1987. Stone's depiction of Wall Street was as intense as last years "Platoon."

Of all the action films released i.n 1987, "Lethal Weapon," stands alone as the best.

The action, featuring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is practicaly non-stop and totally unrelenting.

Be.sides the typical slasher mms, the world of horror bore witness LO " Hellraiscr. "the first movie effon from English author Clive Bark.er.

The movie proved that Barker will not only be a force in print but also in film.

The year 1987 gave many ponrayals of the Devil in movies. However, the best antagonist of the year was Glen Close in her ponayal of Alex Forres1, the obsessi'-'e fling of Michael Douglass in " Fa.ta.I Aiu-action. " The best protagonist of the year goes to Martin Sheen for his ponrayal of a police psychologist in the thriller "The Believers."

The fear of AIDS did litlle to dampen the spirilS of filmmakers as the screen sizzled with love scenes. The most erotic of those scenes perhaps was the love scene berweffl Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet in the occult thriller ·•Angel Hean.'' The scene was re-e:lited several times before rece:iving an R-rating from the Motion Picture Associa1ion of America.

Way Out," starring Kevin Costner as a liason between the CIA and lhe Pentagon. The film was released several weeks after the final IranContra hearings.

Since "PlaLOOn" had been such a big win· ner in 1987, movie houses were nooded with Vietnam era filrm. The best of those films was St.anJey Kubrick's "Full Met.al Jacket," which gave an impression of what it was like to go from basic training to baulefield.

Violence remained a very prominent factor in the cinema in 1987. ll is a toss up on what rilm was more violent between Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Predator," and Peter Verboeven's " Robocop." Both films had an equal amount of fighting and bloodleuing.

Not only was "Fatal AtLJaction" one of the top grossing films of 1987. In my opinion Adriane Lyne's film about obsession and extramarital airs is desti ncd to be a cinema classic.

On the other side of lhe coin is the worst film of tbe year, not necessarily the worst money maker. justthe worst film. The honors fon~e worst film of the year is a tie between Dusun Hoffman's and Warren Beauy's "Ishtar, " and Bill Cosby's Coke commercial "Leonard, Part

Six.'' Hopefully the academy will so!"ed~y think of these alternate Oscar cat.egones; 11 would surely give a more rounded look at the year in cinema.

Metzger amazes audience as Albert Einstein

by Celeste Tritz

Albert Einstein-a prophetic humanist who was mounded by the moraliry of society.

His classic, practical bohemic lifcscyle was su=.sfully portrayed by Ed Met· zgcr at the one•man showing of Alber1 Einstein: The Practical Bohemian, on Ja.n. 23, in the Communication Arts Au.dilorium.

SubLle charaeterinics of Einstein's persona!Jty were brought forth in Metzger's outstanding acting abilities. Actions, such as burning his fingers on a lighted match tbai he forgot was Iii or simply ga7Jng inw the sky, helped the audience identify with the character.

Metzger showed more than E:;'\.1C2 (energy is equal to mass Limes the speed of light squared). He reveakd the quizzical, sensitive and humorous side of the Nobel Prize winning genius. The man who, often lost in thought, would have to call his colleagu~ to ask t.hcm for directions to his own house; and, the man who loved his wife so deeply that he was una.ble to deal with the severity of her illness, so he submerged himslf in his work, avoiding her at all costs.

The audience was led by Metzger

down an avenue of Einitcin's life, through The Years In E urope (Act l) and through Tb.e Years lo America (Act 2). Metzger gracefully spoke from one

thought to another. s:ignifmg the passing of time with each srrike of a match

to light his cigar.

Metzger proved to be the epitome of

all actors through his nonchalant attitude towards the prop malfunctions.

Solved quickly !hough he still held lhe audiences anention.

Einstein, a man who did not bo1her with the conventionalities of standard behavior, sought more for the universialicy of humanity than for the trend of the times. This holds true in Metzger's depiction of Einstein in his over-sized sweater and no sock appearanc.e.

At the end., Metzger left lhe audience in awe with the annoum:emem of the massive: destruction at Hiroshima. 11 not onl)' had a staggering effect on Einstein, but also on the audience. Metzger was an intermediary for Einstein to the people. Universiality and internationality should be the core from which :ill should emulate.

Metzger studied in New York and Los Angeles. He has perfomied in both on and off Broadway productions, and has appeared on television in such shows as Kojak and Bonanza. His talent also nows over in10 the movies. He appeared in Al Pacino's "Dog Day Afternoon'', and Marlon Brando's reflections in "A Ooldef!. Eye.•·

College president records first year on campus

by Don Olson One year has passed with Dr. Robert Ben~u at the helm of NIC. and the rcruhs of his work have received by and large favorable rf:',iews.

From a public relouons pe1!>pective, Dr Benneu has done a supenor JOb carving in-roads to the outside. He has cast NIC m10 an 1mpona.nt role to the economJc development of the community.

From the perspective of calming the ner,e<; of the fanili), direcung the c.limate of academic affairs and selling lhe mission of NIC wo a cohor"e pl.an. Dr Bcn~I! has missed the target, according to some imoh·ed m the higher cducauon proces,

President Robert Bennett

"From a public rd.at10M angle Bennen has accomplished a lOL for tlJe school,·• George h-e5, Engfub., mass media irut.ruaor and member of the committee that priontiz.ed requ1rernent5 sought in a nev. admmistraror. said.

"From a media point of ~i~ tlm \11.U something that "1li needed. He sucettded Dr. Walter Browe, ,..bo, b} the way. did a superior job of settling down the facuhy ... " foUo\\ing the Sch~r afia.ir.

"And our of 140 applicants, he was the be,1," Ives concluded.

Denni5 Conners. de:lll of acadml!c affairs, added, .. His tBennett 'sl pnmar~ emphasis for the first nine months ·,;as to &et out and about. I t.hmk ht v.a5 given a very strong messa~e from the board that hired tum that t.h1, .,.:i, the

primary emphasis. I look at it 1wo ways."

Conner5 continued and said that •· A pr~ident has to look ouu1de the l.05lll\ltion as well as inside. Dr. Bennett has created visibility in the communit) and an at,il1t) 10 resonate with the community at large and with legislators.•· As a result of the push for visibility, NlC's enrollment has increased. " I think some of that can be directly nttribu1ed 10 the perceptions of the people in the five cou111ies o f this area. (People are saying) 'this place is looking at itselfit's a viable place. Good things arc going on.· At least pan of that is o direct result of the visibility of Bob Bennett,·• Conners said.

Lewis Clark State Collegt' moved on campus this year, and. as a result, its enroUment has doubled. Dr. Benne11 commcntt>d, "That relationship is good. but it's gO! to get better. The more opportunity that we can give to people 10 complete their etluca· tional programs, the harder we should work a1 tha1."

NIC has hired a grams writer. Marcie Horner, hoping she can find $2.50,000 10 rebuild 1he librar)' to buy books and material 1ha1 will help update what IC has.

•·we need more money," Benneu said. "Our library is a terrible situation. We know we've got to have some help. Our computer center has got to improve, but legislators have only so many dollars. Somehow we'\'e got to capture their imagination so that they will see maybe we are more deserving than some of the others in terms of priorities."

Another aspect of Bennen's visibility could result in a marine technology program. ''Nothing is sure yet." Bennett sa:id, "but the attitude is there. People are calling and saying 'we "am to help. \\'e want to be a part of something.· I think it's good for the community and I'm not only talking abour Coeur d'Alene. I'm talking about the whole area."

NIC has two more people on campus to work with students. " People have to have work. That"s one of the reasons they seek coUege in the fim place. So. I think we·re making some differences there,'· Bennen added.

In reference to the last convocation s.C'ries, Bennett said, "The facr that we forus ed on lhe whole concept ot work ... was very significant to me. I was impresm:I with the caliber of people no1 only on the campus but in the Performing Arts series; the kinds of things people enjoy. You don't see this in a lot of community coUege campuses. parti<.:ularly one as isolaied- in some respects-as this area is."

Night-time studies--Bennelt's plan to improve lhe library met funding resistance from state legislature.

Another aspect initiated by the new administralion iJJ a closer relationship with the public school districts.

"We realize they are our major suppon groups," Bennett said.

Last month the NIC administration sat down with the Coeur d' Alene Board or Administrators. Something that came ouc of ihat meeting was whether they could use NlC facilities. ·'One of the niec5t things was we used the C-A Auditorium for one of the outstanding educaton. in this coumry. Harry Wong, to come in and speak to almost 800 educa1or5," Benneu elaborated. ''So, we were able 10 use our facilities to enrich the educational opponunities of other educators. And we need to do more of that."

Last summer NlC hosted a writers' workshop for children, sponsored by Virginia Johnson. Children were brought 10 u.se NIC instructors and student.s "and we let them write. They had tbe opportunity 10 experience 1he joy of writing." Benneu said, with a smile. "We could do so much more. We've got to convince people that if they're going to get their education, they're better off spending money at home."

V.'hen asked 10 define his role as skipper of NIC, Bennett commented that ii wai; to "set a tone. ff I can set a tone where people fed good about wha t they're doing and they feel there's a challenge- that there's much left 10 be done-that we're not in nm- then I feel I've accomplished probably wh.at I'm supposed to do. Hopefully, I can create the kind of atmosphere v.·here people are willing to go a ~tep fur· ther,'' he said.

Dr. Bennett wants to k.oov.· more about the students.

"We have u, know why they come here and what do they want to do after they leave. We've initialed a long-range planning process. We're trying 10 find out, while students are in the fifth grade and "'hilt> 1hey are seoiors and juniors (in high school}, w·hat they are thin.king about," he said.

Tim Pilgrim has 'privacy' paper published An NIC instrucior's article was accepted for publication b) "Communications and the Lav.: • Tim Pilgrim. an 11-~ear English and journalism instructor "ho is oa lea, e this year. will find his arucle published in the New York Law Review in June.

New financial aid director first to greet most students

by Dan Stone One of the first people a student or prospective srudent is likely to encounter at NIC is Jille Sbanlcar, lbe new fmanc:ial aid director.

Shankar, coming from Washington State University, bas a m.ister's degree in coUege couaseling and student personnel from North Eastern in BoSLon. Shankar, 11,•ho was raised in Berkeley, Calif., resided in Ma.$sachusetts for about J 5 years and came back to the west to WSU as assistant director of financial aid for rwo and one-half years.

She said she has been in the fillllncia} aid business since 1971.

The appeal of returning to a 5rnall college enticed Shankar to apply for the position at NIC. she said, adding that she was the director of financial aid at a small college for six and one-half years and enjoys working at a smaller college.

Sbankar said a director of financial aids has specific goals.

"Two goals are to k~p students oriented, (which) is real cnucal, and to make it as efficient as possible, whether redesigning manual S)"S1.ems or computer systems to make the st~dent process of applying for fi.oanriaJ aid as fast ~d efficient as possible," Shankar said. !',

Frozen encounters, risky fun for some Pressing m)' body ~ close 10 the vcmcal surface u possible and pulling my head down towards m> shoulders I auempted 10 become invisible to the bar· rage of cascading debris accelerating tov.ard me at u alarming rate, threatening to knock me off m> precarious perch.

Wllh arms stretched overhead and legs spread, I v.as dinging to the cold, slipper)' surface of a froz.m water· ran v.1th the aid or high-tech claw-like appendag~ The winier sun had touched the top of our obJec· uve, 500 feet above, and its slight warmth loosened unstable icicles. which constantly bombarded me. I cautiously climbed from the secure belay 11.herc my partner Tom was patiently waiting under a protecthe overhanging section of cliff. Stomping his feet to postpone 1he numbing chill. he vigilantly played out the rope th:it ued the 1wo of us together. If I slipped I would rely on hlm 10 ca1ch and hold me on the lifeline 1ha1 joined us inio a team.

"Watch me, Pard, I can 't see the bombs coming. " With the ice banage momen1aril~ silent, I placed another ice sere" for pro1ec1ion. fumbling w11h the gear with glo, ed hands while m)' burning calf muscles screamed for relief. Although in the shadov.s it IS still below freezing, bead5 of S" eat were forming on my brow. After succesfully placing a 6-inch tubular aluminum ice screw into the plastic-like surface. I clipped in my safety rope ,vith a carabiner snaplink and called down 10 Tom. ·'Watch me pard. you will have to be my eyes as I move over this last bulge-I can ·1 see the bombs coming." I yelled.

Without looking o,er my shoulder, I sensed Tom adjusting his position so as 10 brace against our worst option-a po.ssible fall. Cau1iowly I began to loosen the grip of m)' ice hammer with a slight jerk up on the handle. its drooped pick lightly phlccd in the ice.

Adjusting my balance to the other tool. I rcmo,ed and swung it overhead like a carpenter pounding in a nail.

I whacked tn the ice-hammer's sharp point 10 my satisfaction. Duplicaung the movements 1,1.ith the opposite hand. I placed my short ice axe o,·erhead. I then hung from their "rist loops as I kicked in the front points of m) climbing irons that \\Crc strapped 10 my stiff boots. Then. poised on the upper edge of a 40 foot vertical step. I prepared 10 scamper Jcross the aposed low-angled section ahead "It looks clear, go for il." Tom yelled.

Systematicall)' I repeated the monotonous movements, being c"er so cnutious not 10 let my concentration break. One misplaced 1001 or hurried step wouJd mean a plummet-something I wa.s not 1,1.illing to aeecpl.

Unlike the gymnastic antics of rock climbing where falls sometimes are accepted and calculated, falls while ice climbing can be dangerous to both team mcmbcn.

A falling tader looks like a cat with i1S claws out.

Climbers, unattached with 24 sharp poinlS on their boots and raz.or sharp lOOls nailing, is not something belayers want to have land in thi:ir laps.

Luckjly, l was able to move to a more protcc:ted position under another steep step of ice. " How much rope do I have left?" 1 yelled down 10 Tom who was barely able to hear me. " About 20 feet," he yelled back.

Telling myself I should find a suitable belay, I began moving further right so as to be protcc:ted from falling ice. After placing rwo screws for anchors, I set up a belay system and called down tO Tom to come up. " Belay is on," l shouted.

Silently acknowledging, he began the process of cleaning the anchor1 and climbing as I lOOlc tn the rope.

His iota! bc-ing was focused on ascending the vcr· tica1 steps leading ro the next belay. $1011, ly and methodically he moved up the translucent-blue mass.

I seuled back against the llllChors and relaxed slight· ly, soaking up the surrounding view. The Clark Fork River meandered through the wide valley below with mini icebergs noating along silently. unaware of our intrusion to that froun land.scape. At eye level, n bald eagle screacbed as it circled OD in,.isible air currenlS. You could say I bad a birdseye view as I mumed my concentration to Tom and his struggle upwnrd.

Just as my bands 11,·cre beginning to turn to ice, the welcome call from Tom, snying be bad safely rencbed a belay, came. Quickly I began to remo\·e my anchor screws, hoping the renewed m~ement would warm my wooden-feeling digilS. " Belay OD," Tom called.

"Climbing," I responded.

"Nice lead, that bit crossing the bomb zone was hairy."

Dane Burns nears the top after a long grueling climb.

Safe!)·, at the belay next to a large fir tree, I relaxed momemarily while Tom climbed up to join me.

"Great climb.'' Tom said.

"Yeah.'' I said, "but it ain't over 'til it 1s over."

Safegaurded from the belay above him, he was able 10 move with less caution and arrived at my belay stance quicker than I had. ·'Nice lead.'' he said. "That bit crossing the bomb :r.one was a bi1 hairy."

E.icchanging the necessary equipment with me, Tom prepared 10 launch off up the next 150 feet of climbing-we were only about one-third the way up. '' Belay is on Tom." I said.

"Climbing," he said without looking back.

"Great climb, but it ain't over 'ti/ it's over."

We both •"Cre ba\lllg so much fuo v.e could baref) ~,and II Lil e t•o httlc bo)1 on a backyard a.chcDture 11,c e1'otcdl1 atlltled the uoknov.n enemies like war, noo from an ~ r y planet 5.:ahng nc- hcighu of adrcnilin-induced euphoria. I mo,cd out and up.

Our minds were set on nutopilot-·acting out tasks practiced hundreds or time~ before. Check· mg one another before we would go sliding off down the rope) into the darl,, we both knew what the other -..as 1hmking of-a safe return.

"Off rnppel," Tom shouted.

I breathed n sigh of relief. the ropes had reached the ground from the nnchor I was :i11ached to. Onl>· one more to go and I 100 would be down.

Safely o ff the route, we stumbled through the dark forest 1owards the road. It was cloudy. No moon ii· luminnted our path: Only tree branches slapped us in the face as we forged ahead. Finally dumping my pack at the car. I relaxed for the first time in about six boun.

Bias taints sports Racial injustice still plagues a society that professes to be 1he human rights 1rendse11er for lhe world. Americans have not yet learned 10 live lhe 1rue meaning of our constitulion: "The unalienable righ1s of life. libeny and the pursuit of happiness."

Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder. 1he CBS sports commentator who was fired for what the Rev. Jessie Jackson calls · ·obviously regreuable and racially offensive" remarks. makes you realize 1hat 1he dream Dr. Manin Luther King Jr. cn\isioned: The dream where one day, ''This nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed lhat all men are created equal," is sti II not a reality.

It is unfortunate when media celebrities cannot tactiully address the nature of the Blacks' slruggle or recognize the obvious prejudices manv Americans still hold and publicly ad· vocai.e about this country's minorities. Spons has been one of the few areas where minorities have found a respectful avenue lo follow along their rough and rocky journey toward deserved mutual respect in our socie1y.

Even in spons. 1he minorities have had to muggle. According 10 sponswriter Harry Stapler. Jesse Owens may have done more 10 advance blacks in spon than any pre,•ious person. When he won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin during lhe time Adolf Hitler was professing the Germans 10 be the "master race." an imcrnalional statement had been made about human equality-and made by a black.

It was no1 until after World War II that blacks really began to become accepted in football and actively recruited to play for southern universities. Basketball was even slower to accept the black player, and now with black coaches like Bill Russell 1hey have moved beyond the player role to coaching.

In 1968 the book "The Black Athlete, Emergence and AJrival" noted: ''The classic illustration of discrimination is the fac1 that in major league professional football there are no Negro quarterbacks."

At least some thi ngs change. When Washington Redskins' Doug Williams leads his Learn in Super Bowl XXll, a major milestone will again be passed for the black.

Sports have been a wonder ful involvement for many Americans, as participants and fans, and even with its somewhat progressive na1ure toward acknowledging human equality it has a long way to go. Someday, we may come to rcaliu wha1 King meant when he said, "The deslin)' of our while brothers is ried up with our destiny, and their freedom is inextricabl)' bound Lo our freedom."

May we som1:day learn to do ~ we say, and maybe then what we do will be an example worih following by the res1 of the world.
