Annual student workshop draws journalists to college by Forrest Hale Abou1 100 high school s1udcn1 journalists and community members met recently a1 NIC for an annual workshop on the student press' rights and responsibilities. " With the help of masterful presenters and perfect weather, and 1he cooperation of the NIC staff and Journalism volunteers, the workshop was a complete success," journalism instructor Nils Rosdabl said. Designed to help students be better writers and editors. he said the seminars attracted 80 high school students, interested community members and NTC journalism majors. Mosco..,,. ldahoruan publisher Jay Sbelledy began the day with a talk about "Freedom of the High School Press." With many journalism advisers and professionals debating the errecu of the rccem Supreme Coun decision on student press freedom, ShcUcdy told the students the decision docs not mean ''gloom and doom" for bigb school journalism.

Involving a high school in Hazelwood, Mo., the case focused on student press righ1s and 1he right of school au1hon1ics 10 edit and censor writ1cn material and plays, he said. A5 with editors in the "real world," he said. admin1stra1ors always have had the right and responsibility 10 edit coverage for writing style and research mlstakc<.. This power does have limus, though, and students who think a censored story should be published do have legal recourse, including publishing an underground paper, he said. The best method probably would be to compromise, he said. After his speech, students were released and many emercd a wri1ing compeution based on Shelledy's speech, Rosdahl said. This competition. offered for the first unic, was very successful, he said. Judged by local professionals, the contest gave a ftrs1 prize of S25 cash or continued on page 20

Computer facilities shortage may be corrected by Randall Graen Tbe limned amount of "multi-user" computer lab facilities is just one of the problems that the NJC Computer Curriculum O:>mmiuec is r~bing _for the up,colllllli year. according to comm111.ec chairman Kay Nelson. The commillec's recommendations based on a feasibility study comminec members have been working on for the upcoming year arc optomistic- the purchase of JS new personal computers 10 bolster the existing multi-user lab's cqujpmem and six-JO new machines 1ha1 would support c:uniculum development for programs in the communication ans/journalism areas, according 10 Nelson. "Any compromise aod upgrade on the existing computer facilities will be thought of as positive," Nelson said. "especially since there is such a limited amount of money 10 work v.ith in the budge'l." Tom Lyons, instructional medfa services coor· dinator and commiuce member, explained that a multi-user facility is a lab-type faciliry lhat multiple depa.rtmcnts or curriculums and students can use. With I.hat defini1ion in mind, the only multi-user facility on campus currently is the Apple/ HP lab in the McchanicaJ-Aru Building, Lyons said. This does not include the many smaller classroom-

1ypc facilities that exist like the business administration facility in A-7 and the Vo-Tech facilicy in Hedlund 201, which offer limited student use, Nelson wd. Many admirusuators arc beginning to a.drrtlt the limitations 10 lhe aging Apple/M-A faciliry. according 10 Nelson. " We arc beginning to realize that the equipment (Apple IJ computers. primarily} is wcapng ou t.'' Nelson said. "It is obvious that repair costs arc about the same as the cost of new equipment." NIC admirust.rators arc concerned about staying curmil with the u-eods in the age of computcriz.ation, Nelson said. He added tha1 is why the Compu1cr Curriculum O:>mmiuec was formed. It is common knowledge I.hat many major universities in this country arc requiring students to own personal computers as pan of registration requirements, he wd. NIC is a Jong way Crom that, but is trying nonc1belcss. 10 satisfy the needs for computer skills srudcnts Wl1l be required to have when moving into the job market. Nelson wd. Nelson said that he originally was appointed by the NIC deans to begin an evaluation and recommendation proccss as a "coordinator/planner" for the upgrading of computer use, hardware/software

development and to monitor the development of computer curriculum programs on campus. "Quickly I realized that it was going to be impossible for one person to do 1ha1 monstrous uuk," Nelson said. The original idea bas progressed 10 a full commi11ce that is comprised of any division chairperson who is interested in management, development and implcmenuuion of computers into their programs, according 10 Nelson. "We feeJ fairness is important and that an equal "oicc is necessary for establishing criteria for multiuser faci1itics." Nelson said. One op1fon for add.itional fund ing sources the commiuee is proposing for the administration and trustee members 10 consider is charging use fees to students or assessing slight additional lab fees. Nelson said. The committee is concerned that the management of such funds will not be abused since students don ·1 have any more ex1ra money than the college, he added. "While ins1ructional computing resources supplement some curricufa, it has become clear 10 professionals, instructors and students that advanced computing resources are fundamental and essential,·· LYons said.

-------4(.____se_n_t_in_e_l_op=----in_io_n__)t----Early break creates 'Babysitter Halltown' waiter ross Fwump! I looked up to see what would make such a sound, caught a glimpse of the setting sun and sneezed furiously. I kept walking. I was on my way to the administration building, dropslip in hand, from the luxurious Sentinel office and .. . Fwump! I looked around, growing continually more curious as to what could make that confounded noise. Again there was nothing, save for a lone athelete. He was meandering across the lawn cluthcing his gut. I presumed he must have been warming down after a 26-mile jog or training for Bloomsday Fwump! Since 1'm not one 10 have my interest piqued by aural hallucinations three times in one day. I didn't even bother to look. I had more pressing things on my mind-timing. In particular, I was thinking about the timing of this year's spring break . It seemed 10 me that my son's grade school spring break came a week Ja1e or my spring break should have been postponed a week. The breaks definitely shouldn't have been timed Lhe way they were. The reason I say this is that having our breaks during different weeks was, 10 be succinc1 . nothing shon of a five-day nightmarish episode of Babysi11er Helltown. There are definitely things to be said about Babysitter Helltown-most of them unprintable.

Of the printable variety are: ll's virtually impossible to find a 1rustwonhy rnter, and if you do, they arc ,cry e.~pcnsi\·e. The major complaint I have, ho\\ever, is the fact that II just shouldn '1 be 1ha1 difficult for the power.; that be to schedule our spring brcal to coincide with the rest of the locaJ school districts. Raising children is difficult enough \\i thou1 1he added burden of attending college. But \\ hen you add Babysitter Hclhown 10 the scenario- this is af1cr running 1hc gauntlc1 we call registration and dutifully arranging your schedule 10 ge1 your child off to school in 1hc morning and meet him when he gc1S ou1 in 1hc afternoon-the ~ttuauon 1s much more than inrom cment: It °:I impossible! lo the Ci!} of Coeur d'Alene alone there arc no less than a dozen public schools. Of those, there are 11 that take "the break(?)" at the same time. Can you name the black sheep in the crowd by using no more Lhan three letters? 1could understand the Liming if Lhc facuhy, staff and students at NIC were childless. The fact that most, if not all, NIC parcntaJ units desire that situation occasionally notwithstanding, is not t.bc "deal." The " deal" is-judging by the frantic. hair-pulling, hang-me-by-mytoes.and-l'U-bc-grateful circumstances many of Lhc aforementioned found themselves io-Lhere are a lot of marnmas and pappas at NIC. In fac1, 1 believe there are enough of them attending NIC fuU-time that instituting a policy to have spring break coincide with the other school districts wouldn't be too out of line or too much to ask. Of course, there arc alternatives to simply rescheduling spring break. One would be to have "Kids Weck," wherein everybody who works or attends NIC wouJd bring their kids to school with them. The only problem wilh that, however, is that we wouldn 't be able to move; we'd have human gridlock .

Another ahernntive would be for everyone to drop off his or her children, regardless of age, with Jeannnne Mitchell at the NIC Pr~hool. The drawback of that would be that ~he would become overwhelmed by various sues of rugrat bodies and po~s1bly suffocate. or at lea~t expire from the \heer terror. A slightly more rensonnble solution would be to send n letter to all Lhe ~hool districts from which our students commute, find out when their spring break is, schedule our~ 10 coincide and Lhcn send our championship wrestling squad after anyone that doesn't fall into line. (Of course. I'm not an advocate of physical violence- but when I weigh it against the possibility of a return 10 Babysitter Helltown, 1'll make an exception.) It could even be of some benefit to the college. All the administration would have to do is blackmail NIC parents. They could tell them: "Look, either you donate a portion of the money you spent on siuers during your kids ' spring break to the library fund or it's Babysitter HcUtown for you !" That oughua be worth a couple grand or so... Fwump! There's that poor jogger again. I continue back to the debonair Sentinel digs... but wait, he's picking something up from the lawn ...a spcar ... a javelir,! This guy is practicing throwing a javelin in the exact geographic center of the campus-where people walk! I glance over at Lhe empty athletic field. Hmmm, should I suggest that it might be a more appropriate place for such athlc1ic endeavors? As a non-runner, Lhe thought occurs to me that it could be less than wise to upset a spearthrowing athlete. Obviously Lhe answer is a resounding: "Nawww." I'd bate to be impaled just for making sense.

System's down

In air with travel; Why not fly? rainee turk Returning home from college Lhis summer, or venturing off to a favorite vacatfon spot, imagine traveling in an air<onditioned, smoothflying airplane. The journey is brief, but time allows sipping on an ice<0ld Pepsi and nibblmg on an appetizer of cheese and apples. Now picture a treacherous, bumpy drive in a car without air<ondilion.ing. The journey is long (al least eight times longer than air travel} and meals consist of twinkies and warm apple juice. When this journey finally ends, a body is left exhausted, bloated and sticky from the heat. Besides offering much more comfon than typical automobile travel, air travel is much safer. With all of the la1esl hype abou1 airline safe1y, ii seems the public fears air travel and would rather drive to its des1ination. The la1est talk about Eas1em Airlines having shoddy equipment and being unsafe to Oy is no1 reassuring the publfo either, however, whe1her the airline is really unsafe co Oy has not ye1 been determined. lmilead of fearing 1he airlines because the Federal Aviation Administra1ion is reviewing Eastern Airlines to determine if it is safe enough to continue serving the public. people should be reassured that with these reviews, the skies will remain as safe as they've been in the past. According 10 the "Statistical Abstract of 1he United States." traveling in an airplane proves safer than traveling in an au1omobile. In fact, for every 2,137 miles traveled in a car. a notable accident occurs with a fa1ali1y occurring every 39,622 miles. Jn comparison, for every 25,000 miles nown, a plane accident occurs, including minor accidents and those accidents that occur with experimemaJ aircraft. Furthermore, 1he United States Bureau of the Census published statis1ics in 198.S tha1 listed a substamially higher occurrence of automobile accidents 1hnn airplane accidenu.

While the library may be the heart of a college, NI C's library is having its guts ripped out, and a doctor doesn't seem to be near. While complaints con1inually are voiced about the inadequate size of the building, a security system to prevent periodicals and books from being stolen could solve an immediate problem. So much has been stolen over the years that the total of the losses could build us a nc\, library. People are not only robbing the school but robbing themselves-and others-of a quality education. The problem, according 10 English instructor Michael Bundy, is not space but materials. "I have four 104 classes, and they're frustrated. They just can't get what they need, and a lot of the studenLS don't have transportation 10 travel elsewhere for materials.'· A security system needs to be implemented. An electronic system that would sound an alarm if materials weren't properly checked out would cos1 about $20,000, and school officials are reluctant 10 pay that. Whac they're not considering, however, is that the college is losing thousands of dollars of materials each year, and it wouldn't take many years for the syslem to pay for itself. Bundy said that he heard rumors of the library losing about 300 books each year. At that rate, he added. the system would pay for itself in five years. Even if the college can't afford the system initially, something needs 10 be done or English 104 is a bogus class. At the University of Oregon the security system consists of bag checks at the door, according to Bundy. That's certainly not out of the question here in North Idaho. A work-study student easily could do the job. At any rate, before even considering building a new library, the purpose of a library needs to be looked at-to provide informacion. Even most high schools have security in their libraries, Bundy said. "And any college worth a salt does (have a system)," he added. The library indeed is in need of expansion, but by not implementing a security .system, th.:! college is only pooring salt on the wound.

Airline captains are given recurrent training (flight checks or ·tests') annually. This training includes I 'h hours of emergency procedure testing. Co-pilots are requfred to follow the same training regimen e,·cn• 6 months. Besides the training, airline pilots have thousands of hours of flying c.~perience in aJJ types of situations, those who drh·e cars may have experience driving. but rarely are they trained in cmcrgenc>· situations annually. Airlines also operate with two or more pilots per crew. This is another safety precaution in that one pilot can check the actions of the other and vice-versa. In addition to safety, don't forget how much faster people arrive at their destinations when they fly. If a person were to drive from Coeur d'Alene to Boise it would take approximately nine hours. Flying from Coeur d'Alene to Boise takes 30 minutes in a commercial jct. A considerable difference in time. Before closing rbeir eyes to the advantages of air travel because of the one-sided bad news abour the airlines, people should look more closely and discover the advantages to this advanced form of transportation.

Cross-dressing: An alternative lifestyle by Colleen Perron As a writing assignment for my in1erviewing class. I was given free will of who 10 interview about what. Odd moods compelled me 10 go 10 odd places. That's how I happened to end up at a "gay bar" in a nearby town. This particular bar has live shows on Friday night, featuring "cross-dressers," or men who dress up as ,vomen.

TI:ro,:gh the course of the evening, il bcc:ame apparent 1ha1 cross-dressers arc not n ~y gay. Some do ii for fun, some for the purpose of exhibitiorusm. some just because it's a job. Of course. some arc gay. but you expect that in a gay bar. I became curious about staight men who dress up as women for purely personal reasons. Now. how docs one search out that one 1ype or cross-dresser wi1hout offending anyone? The place was packed wi1h ever) assortment of humanity you could ask for, and I couldn't cull ou1 one little s1ntigh1 person aside from myself all evening. So, the ncl\l evening, with II t11pc recorder in my hand, and a dubious song in my heart, I went in search of the illusive straight cross-dresser. The place was dead. The bartender was affecting a barely passible Belly Davis for his handful of patrons. and, of course, your typical dirry-old-men types who arc looking for wha1cver dirty old men look for in gay bars. I sat there for about an hour, watching 1he human opera unfold, feeling somewha1 like a voyeur myself, when m)' story walked in. He was maybe 5-foot-10 and abou1 135 pounds. He wore n black, curly wig, styled softly around his face and barely touching his shoulders. He also wore a black wrap-around dress th:u was ga1hcred at the waist with a wide red belt.

Hil dutch bag and black beets ga,Âˇc him the appearance of a well-dressed and conliden1 ~oman out

on the town alone. He \I.cot to the bar and ordered bu drink, looking around the room for a familiar fa.x, or maybe an IllÂˇ t.e.rcsung ~trange face. Finctiog no one, be took his drink and "'cnl to the back comer of the tml)l) lounge. Here I sat. ~ith my story an incredible 40 feet away, and I was cemented to my seat. Apparently he felt the same way. as after about 20 minutes he walked up 10 me and said, "I noticed you sitting here by yourself. Do you feel like having some company?" Well, I could have Just Usscd him, so 10 speak, and

"I'm a 45-year-old transvestite. I'm also married with rwo children. " scrambled down from my chair. Just to be sure I wouldn't get bit ..,,,th his pul"1C, I told him I was a journalism maJor and "'as there for the c.'Cprcss p ~ of intcrviC\\ing a straight cross-dresser, and would he be that person? He seemed a little surprised, then naucred, and said. "What the hell." We went back to his scat, as it was more secluded, and I could ask him what I hoped wou.ld be intelligent and well thought-out questions. What happened was I got 10 talk 10 a very scnsithe, warm human being who endured my very pointed and often very personal questions with grace.

He said he hnd been n cross-dre~~cr nearly all his life. When he wns about 7 years old his mother "''US cleaning out her closet and she asked him if he would like a pair of old ~hoes she wn~ going to throw oul. He took them, as children do, 10 play with. When he put thtm on, though, he s:ud he simply felt he was, for all intents and purposes, o woman. He also quickly added 1h01 1hose in 1he mental health field would say he hod some oedipal 011achmcn1 10 his mother. but he wns sure thlll was not so in his case. He just alway~ fell he was a womnn on 1hc in.side. I osked him what ii 's like to be a cross-dr~r: wha1 arc some or the things he has 10 do; what is his daily life like? He said, " 1'm o 45-year-old 1ransves1itc. I'm also married with two grown children." He 1hen went on to tell me he has only been out of the elose1 for about a month. Being a cross-dresser all his life, he had collected and hid his clothes very carefully. In the course of cvcnb, be abo got married. He felt his wife had ulwnys known "something" was different abou1 him, but in her own way, conspired with him 10 keep ll a secrel. Th.is was amazing 10 me, becau~e he ~aid it 100k him two hours 10 shave his entire body. And, being o former wife, I would not be able to resist the impulse 10 ask why my husband was compelled 10 shave from head 10 1oe every few weeks. I said so, and he agreed, going on to say it became more and more bothersome and evtntually just 100 silly 10 conlinue. So one evening a few weeks ago, he went through his shaving ritual, got all dressed up in his clothes and make-up, went upstai~ and said, "Tada, honey ... " continued on page 11

Concert review

Visual contrast underlies musical match-up by David Gunter

Leo Kottke/Michael Hedges NIC Communications-Ans Auditorium April 12, 1988 6:30 p.m. ''The I2~lring is clipping. Maybe you should adjust it up lherc. •• Guitarist Michael Hedges leans over and turns an array of knobs. " I'm coming at you a lot harder no", so pad that input a li11lc. Now. let's listen 10 it na,-no e.q., no chorus." Seated on a stool nearby. Leo Ko11kt contemplates a point on the stage in froni of him as the d1a.logue continues. "Give me some more 8-k. Good, now dip it at obout 10-k and we've got it,'' Hedges confirms. The conversation is made up of a dif· ferent sort of language. the language of the sound check-an intense. often frUJtraLing, pre-concert ~ion that will help make the performance later in the evening seem effortless and perfectly nat.ural. Kottke and Hedges c-0mpare tunings and begin to sound check a guitar duct which they have been rehea rsing on the road. As they play, speakers are moved around, stage lights Oash in every conceivable color and combination. The musicians seem unaware of the surroun• ding chaos. in1en1 onJy on being perfectly balanced and in-tune in preparation for the show that now lies less than an hour away. Onatage the two are o visual comras1-Ko11kc in his white, button· down collar shirt and black slacks, and Hedges wearing tic-dyed stretch pants, Bentle boots and a dark sweatshirt. Musically their kin,hip transccndl fashion. The musical gears shift continually a~ first one player then the other takes lhc rhythm or improvises a spur· of-the-moment lead line. Ko11kc changes tempo. and the two arc off on a vocal rendition of the Byrd's classic, "Eight Miles High.•· The song dwindles away into single note pot· terns and fodcs into silence. The players glance at each other and shrug slightly as if 10 soy, ·•sounds OK 10 me.'' Showtlme Is now le~ lhan o half. hour away. OuLSide the ouditorium, the audience has been straining 10 hear the rchcarsaJ-m-progress, anticipating the tvcnt that brought them 10 Coeur d'Alene

8:05 p.m . Leo Ko11kc: takes the )tagc to n.sing waves of applause. He is all smile, as he u11crs a simple thank you and s1ans in· to hh first number-:.1 boogie-\\oogic [n. nuenced instrumental. Bottom heavy, chromatic riff$ dovetail mto hushed chords on the up· per strings. He looks up after a particulnrly difficult ~:ig,: 10 throw an

"aw, shucks" smile 10 the audience. It aJI looks impossibly c:as)'. bcl>·ing the grueling technical practice which ended only minutes before. Kouke gives the impression that he ii a man of few words and many notes as he launches directly into the next song. As the last note dies out. tt becomes obvious that lhe audience ii. as they say. right there. The artist talcc:s a look around before addressing the group. "I've learned it's better 10 open your mouth and dispel the tmsion lhat arises when you play three or four songs without saying anything," he announces. "Even if it's JUSt to prove you ha1.e nothing 10 say." After a short introducttoo. the listeners join Koukc in an exploration onto a frozen expanse of Lake Ont.ario in a song called ''Ice Fields." The music is strangely melodic, a recurring bass line acting as the foundation for chord work which is sparse. open and forbidding. From the freezer 10 the freeway with a piece inspired by urban driving conditions, "I Yell At Traffic" brings 10 life the built-up tension and anger that staring at a bumper for hours can cause. The song moves along irritably but gets nowhere, just like ilS namesake. When Kouke picks out the nm fel' bars of a tune from his first album. the recognition and audience appreciation arc immediate. The mood ii as if everyone in the auditorium had bumped 1010 a treasured, old friend at the same time. Again, Koukc glances around the room wilh a look that speaks wordlessly, "Remember this? Remember me?" Crossing his legs in preparation for a vocal select.ion, he apologizes for lhc song that is to follow. Since the time when the instrumental content of hu first album was explained by I.he fad 1na1 "My ,oicc sounds lilce geese fart:S on a muggy day," Ko1tkc has seemed

This mght, he sings in a full, pleasant baritone voice Foot bobbing 1n time 10 the music, he looks down at his exposed onl.le. "I'd lil.e 10 take tlili oppc,rtumt) to introduce m) socl.," he say~.

took off in lhe other direction. After months of touring and motel rooms. "coo!ronuns at doorknobs and room deodorant" as he puLS it, he had st~red himself into a Slate of bona fide deprcssion. One thing. Kouke says, pulled him out at the Inst moment. " I knew that 10 expand my conciousncss I had 10 narrow my perspcctivc." he e.xplains. "So one day in a drug \tore I looked down and there was t.lus rotary nose hair clipper. Well. you can't narro"'' your perspcc1h•e much more than with a utensil you sho,·e up your nose." By this time the audience is in stitches. Completing lhesaga, Ko11ke shrugs off the entire affair. "Anyway," he says, •·nothing has gh-cn me quite as big a lift since." The audience won't let him off after his last instrumcnllll. so be lies things up wilh a spirited slide guitar encore Lhat rcncc:ts the joy of I.he evening. And lhcn off be goes with a smile and a wave.

9:45 p.m. The lights go down, and Michael Hedges storms lhc auditorium with a fuU-illt vrnion of the Who's "Pinball Waard." Ringing tenor vocals o.,.er 11ashy gww \\Ork. MO\'CJllC?II. Color. The audience is commanded 10 1111tntion and reara ss if an entire orchestra had played the ptccc \\ hen II is done. •·rd liLe 10 play S-OT11c more thra~h acoustic guitar mu~c." Hedges Silf\, out of breath after lhc physical performancc of bis opening tunt. The intensity or the ft.ISi few selections reflect the guitarist's

attitude about the New Age genre into which critics have attempted 10 include him. " I got a llttle tired or reviewers, who hadn't heard me play. calling my songs things like 'wind chime music,'" he says with a grimace. The next tune. a new c:ompositton entilled '"Ritual Dance,'' shows the artist's masre.ry of his instrument as he proceeds to play all of the guitar-boldly strumming the bass string as he reaches around 10 fret the treble end, piano-like ,.,ilh his right hand. Percussion is provided between chords with the rhythmic ''crack" of his wedding ring as he slides his left hand up the neck and slaps it against the side of the guitar. Visually, Hedges is infinitely more compelling than Koukc's socks. In the course of a song, he moves every which way at once-Elvis Presley collides with Joe Cocker in the body or a modem day musical visionary. When the harp guitar is freed from its case, the audience greets it as if it were one of the stars. It is a six-string guitar with a decidedly phallic appendage which accommodates five hefty bass strings. ' 'II was in a music store-I just saw it and said, 'That's for me."' Hedges confides. · The delica te sounds of an oriental melody arc pushed relentlessly along by the gutsy bouom line played against it. The guitarist's technique is exacting, cffic1cn1. with every sound serving some musical purpose, from the brush of his

Women's wrestling less than glamorous tim

clemensen Here we are. Issue 12 of the Sentinel. It's been a pretty quick year when I think about it. I guess it's true-what they say about time going quicker the older you get. I would like 10 thank all of you that have read this column and section over the last year. 1 leave you in the more than capable hands of David Gunter, who will be taking my place as the new ans and entertainment editor. Like many of you ou1 there in readership land I subscribe 10 cable TV. so I supposedly can watch just about anything 1 want at any time. Siuing around my house late one Saturday night searching for something to watch on the tube that wouldn'l ta~ my mind 100 much. I came across KSTW, Channel 11.

Al that point I ent.ered something worse lhan the " Twilight Zone," I entered the world of GLOW, which is the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. I laughed to m:,-sclf, thinking, "It bad to happen, ever since professional (I use the term lightly) wrestling had become so big." I know what all of you are lhinkmg: •'Wb3t docs this have 10 do v.ith ans and entertainment?" I'm oot sure, but the whole thing just seemed extremely strange. The emcee, Da\id MacClaen. entered the middle of the squared circle (as ir 's called in the pro wrcslling world) and proettded 10 introduce the next ma1ch on that night's card. "In this comer we have the California DoU and her panaer Brandee Mae, the Farmer's Daughter. In the other comer we have the Palesunian Terrorist and her partner, Jeanie Beret. " Wbat followed was 10 minutes of hair pulling, biting, licl.mg and tlipping before Palestinian Terrorist dropped on poor Brandee Mae like pig on some slop at feeding time. What re:uon$ are behind these women and abou1 20 others 1,1, 1th names like Queen Kong, Liule Egypt, Dementia, Liberty Belle, and Holl)•wood and Vine to throw themselves on each other, carr;ing on like a bunch of possessed gymnasts with.out a theme song. I'm not sure. but l bet it has notbin 10 do

"ilh anything important or worthwhile. The real questions in my mind ore: Why would a TV station run such garbage? And why do people walch it? Two of the great unsolved mysteries of the earth.

" I'm into cows ," she said, laughing. " I feel it's important to focus on one thing. and then you experiment wilh technique and composition." She adrnitt.ed being surprised 10 learn of her selection for second place because she really didn't e'<pect to win, she said. "It is a really good show. There is some reallv fine work," she said. " It fdt great just· LO be in the show." In third place is Kathy Rau with her watercolor painting entitled " YCSLer· day." Kath> is a self-taught pa.inter, who began painting in lhe SC\ enth grade. It is the an form she concentrateS on today.

") originaU> started with oil painting, and I'm kind of getting back into that again," sbe said. " But I really love the challenge of watercolor. I'm sticking wi1b it for awhile." Part of the challenge. she said. is 1he fact that once watercolor is done, it's done. 11 's not like oil paint. 11 here you can go back and change it. . Kathy really enjoys doing ponratt work and sa>·s she'd really like to get more into that someday. She also has a

sclf· portrait entered in the show. ' ' I jus1 love anything old," she said. "I like anuques, things of the pas1. I've really always been fa.m na1ed with that. I 1hink of 1ha1 stuff fim." That easily explains 1he setting of "Yes1erday'' -an old·time general mer· chant store wi th a rock foundation, a wooden porch, and a horse tied to a post.

Ka1by is now working on an an degree here at NIC and will finish up ncxt year in June.

Problems facing class make learning logical by Ralnee Turk Real life experience enhances learning in logic and critical thinking classes. according 10 Tom Flint, NIC philosophy instructor, who is using a new approach 10 teach problem solving in his classes thjs school year. This new approach involves organizing the classes into commiuccs consistjng of five or six students carb. Each commiuce scouts an interested business in lhe community that has a problem and then helps the business find a solution to its problem. Flint says the businesses that have paricipatcd in the projects have been satisfied with the results. "Almost all the clients were really satisfied.'' Flint said. "Some of the solutions either have been or are going 10 be implemented." Not only are the businesses satisfied. but the students enjoy working on the real-life problemsolution projects, according 10 Flint. "My sense is that student enthusiasm has doubled," Flint said. "I have to pry them (the students) away from this project (10 move on to other topics).•· Flint says he enjoys the project too. "II makes teaching a 101 more fun ...this is all cheering me up quite a bit," Flint said. After tlltcnding the "American Association of Higher Education" conference in Chicago last spring. Flint decided to use a new approach 10 teaching problem solving 10 gc1 students more involved with reallife experiences. "As a teacher, my student evaluations arc preuy good ... but I had the sense that across 1hc board I wasn't geuing critical thinking across to the mainstream of students. I wasn't satisfied with m>· 'across the board' resultji," Flint said. ''The idea was 10 gel real-life experience, so why not use real problems?"

Flint says a lot of advantages e.-ost when using reallife experience a.s a v.'3y to learn. "A lot of what goes on in acadcmfa (lhe academic world) doesn't go on in the outside world. The brain lights up to real-world feedback." Flint said. V. orking in committees also helps a student learn. aa:ording to Flint.

dividually. Students teach each other.'' Flint snid. Involvement with the community is onothcr aspect of the problem-solution projects. ''Higher education os a whole is being told 10 in· 1cgra1e what they do with 1he community. ll (the project) seems like a good way 10 extend NIC into the community it is serving. This is just students doing community service ns pnrt of their regular education," Flint said. Although the projects arc successful, some minor problems c.~ist. Assessing student performance in the problemsolution project is difncult. according 10 Flint. At this time, grades ror the projec1 arc distributed by Flint, the business and fellow students. Flint admini,1ers .SO percent of 1he grade, 2.S perccn1 based on the project report and 2.S percent bnsed on his perception of the individual student's contribution 10 1he commluec. The business administers 2.S percent of the grade based on i1s sa1isfnc1ion wilh 1he ~olu1ion, and 1he students grade each other on how they perceive the input of each member of their commiuee, also 25 per· cent of the grade. Flint hopes 10 improve this method of grading with a sysicm of A, S and U (A for excellence, S for satisfactory and U for unsatisfactory). The project tends to take a lot of cla~s time too. It (the project) tends to balloon and squceu everything else out,'' Flint said. Flint says be plans to eliminate this problem with a problem-solving, self-instruction manual. Even with these problems, the positive aspects outweigh the problems, according 10 Flint. ·•1 see no reason 10 stop a1 this point. ll seems to be a very good 11,ay to Leach problem solving.

Success depends on the individual, he said , but the hardest part comes during the first month, when a patient fights the fear of death.

A case in poim is my recen1 spring vaca1ion trip to the Broken Island Group of Barkley Sound. This arta is located within the boundrics of Pacific Rim National Park on 1he wcs1 coast of Vancou,,er lslond, northwest of Victoria, B.C. Each of the guide books I faithfully read during the pas1 year about this area said that this was the perfect place 10 sea kayak. While spring storms may rage out in the open Pacific, the water of the "Broken Group" will be "millpond quiet." The authors all promised that the kayaker in this area would find an abundance

We began 10 believe that we would sec a migrating gray or humpback whale during our week of paddling.

This area sounded like the perfect place to escape during spring break. Sure. the authors said that occasionally storms moved in and pinned paddlers down for days, but I read that to be only an unusual occurrence. Sure, the au1hors said that this was the wc11es1 place on the west coas1 of Nonh America, but so what? As a macho kind of guy, I thrive on adversity-a lit~le_wind and rain wouldn't dissuade me from my nuss1on of paddling the Broken Group.

The only even tfu l ha ppening of the day was when 1he udc came in and carried Bob Bohac's boat and my paddle off from a beach as we photogtraphcd eagles and sea lions. That night 1hc weather deteriorated and we were hit with gale force winds and torrential rains. The Gods must have been miffed at something one of us had said. The wind and rain kept us pinned down on Days Three and Four. Our time was .spent telling lies, picking on Don for suggesting this damned trip and boiling water for tea and cocoa. George Ives spent his time editing a book: Bohac trained for this year's triatholon by jogging in place; David Parker told 115 about lire on a submarine and why submariners never lick their lips; Steve Ruppel played with his stove and occasionally took the an of boiling water to new heights. I napped. On the night of Day Four the wind finally died down a little-we hoped we could escape the next morning. Day Five stancd out with a light rain and a bit of a chop on the water. We decided that we should take a chance and start back. As we rounded the point of our bay we ran directly into some fairly heavy weather that was just a preview of things to come. Toe rest of the paddle was somewhat of a blur. The moroini rain was eventually replaced by snow. The wind continued to build, blowing snow and sea water into our faces. Our muscles screamed for relief as we made our way around Lyall Point into Toquan Bay and our exit point. ~ we stood together looking back at what we bad paddled through, we felt very good about being alive. Recently. one of my colleagues commcrued that he bad heard our trip had been preuy miserable. In th.ink· ing back I would agree that the weather was damed uncomfortable. but the trip was OK. One of the things I enjoy most about my trips is geuing 10 know people beucr. nod l had ample opportunit>· to do that. I also got to meet some real nice Canadians like Ben and Marilyn "'ho let 115 sho"'er at their marina at the end of our trip-we nominated them for sainthood.

Slade Zumhole DhOIO

Making tracks - -19-year-old John Deremiah, Cd'A Spring Dash winner, competes In the Bigfoot track meet In Spokane.

Five NlC women and two men currently arc qualified for track and field events and will be uavcling to Odessa, Texas, on May 19-21 10 compete in NJCAA Nationals. All seven are individual qualifiers out of a field of 17 events. Eligibility can be met in one of two ways: by meeting the national requirements or by winning an event in regionals. NIC "ill be the host of the Regional 18 Championships this year. 10 be held May 6 and 7 in Spokane. Track Coach Michael Bundy is pleased with the group of qualifiers, but he is also somewh31 surprised. "This is sort of unusual.·• he said. "We've never had so many qualify so early in the season.·• In the long jump, Derek Eggers' best jump measured 24-6~, which captured him the NIC record in that event. Eggers also set two meet records thus far in the scason-<>ne in Oregon at the Lin· field Ice Breaker (first track meet of the year) and the second at the Husky Track Classic in Seattle. KjeU Karlsen, who hails from Norway. is the other men's qualifier in the J3vclin event. His throw of 189-11 clinched him a spot in national competition. T"o o f the fi\'e women, Line Stefansen (also from Norway) and Marci Bakes of Coeur d'Alene, both won in the high jump event. Bakes jumped a hcighth of .S·.S and Stefansen jumped four inches above national requirements

for a heighth of .S-8. which is also an NIC record. Sr:ici O~n. Darby, Mont., is the qualifier in the women's jnvelin throw with a dislance of 129-7. In the 1.500 and 3,000-meter C\'ents, t...,o women arc on top. Audrey Caren, lrel3nd, ran a 4:45 I ,SOO-meter and a 10: 16 3.000-metcr. She qualified fort he 1.500-meter race in the University of Washington meet March 19. Dianne Armstrong. also from the other side of the Atlantic (England), qualified for the 3,000-meter race in the Seattle meet with :i time of 10:32. It was back in England, however, that she qualified for the I ,500-meter with a time of 4:15. "The only 1hing I'm scared about is the heat.'' Arms1rong said. "Last year I heard it was over 100 degrees. In England it only gels about 70 degrees." She said her training from now until nationals probably will consist mninly of low mileage runs. "As an individual. I run beuer on low mileage. I'll probably cut down my mileage about two or three weeks before nationals," she said. Currently she runs about 40 miles a week. This includes three track sessions, with low mileage runs the rest of the week. On Friday, April 22. the tracksters will be competing in the Pelleur ln\•italional in Spokane. and on Saturday, April 23, at the Gator Invitational in Tacoma.

Coeur d'Alene chaJlcnged some or the greatest names in motor sports by being an official pit stop and check point in the One Lap of America road race. In the general tradition or "Cannonball Run," lhe One Lap of America road race is an 8,000-milc race that lasts a lillle over a week. However, unlike lhc "CannonbaJI," this race is entirely official wilh plenty or regulations so thal citi1.cns arc safe. Corporotc sponsorship is another big difference between One Lap of America and Lhe famed "Cannonball Sea-to-Shining-Sea trophy d11Sh." One Lap was created an 1984 by Brock Yates, au10motive Journalist, and is a successor to has earlier and for more controvcr,101 "Cannonball." "One Lap as organiled and scored like an)' other car rally, only on a far more heroic !.Cale Speed doesn't "in a rall y," Phil Corlis, an NIC photography/on instructor and roll) cnthu~iast. said

" Brilliant navigation, pinpoint control of the car anc.i dependable machinery arc the keys to success." According to official One Lap documents, at each 20-plus checkpoint along the 8.000-milc One Lap route, Sports Car Club of AmcriC3 (SCCA) officials deduct one point for each second (late or early) that a car varies from the official tame. The vehicle wilh the fewest penalty pomt5 v.ios. This is where the similarities bcl""een One Lap and other road raJlies ends. For a race lhat began as a flight of fancy for the evcr>·day mororist. One L:lp w grown into a major professional motorsporu epic. While it still allows a cnuin number or amateur entries, One Lap is fast becoming a maJor batt.lcground for factory sponsored prof~ional rally tea.rm and star performers like Jeff Andretti, off-road rally legend, and four-time National RalJy Champion John Buffum, 10 name a few-au vie for lhe S10,000 first prue.

One Lap hns garnered incredible amounts of media CO\'Croge by drawing the interest or corporate spon· sors and automotive concerns. To date factory-backed teams have been entered b)' AJfa Romero, Audi, BMW, Chrysler-Plymouth, Dodge, Dodge Truck. GMC. Nissan, Oldsmobile, Pontiac. Saab . Volkswagen. Volvo and Yugo. In addition, Chevrolet, Ford and Llncoln-Mertury have provided official sui>pOrt teams. A limited number or sponsorship packages are available with types stretching from the "official product" spectrum to the title sponsorship. Other sponsors with well known names arc: Uniroyal, Goodrich, Chr)sler Corporation. CincinnnLi Microwave, Allied Corp., Omega, Walker Mobile Communications. Quaker State and Corning Glas.s. tviany have sponsored the event since its dcbu1 "One Lap is probably the most grueling endurance challenge of skill, patience and timing," Cortis said. · 'I guess you could call it a true American adventure ... that challenges the mind and the body."

Delightful diversion cures classroom doldrums randa/1 green

It's running rampant amoung students and faculty members-it's reaching epidemic proportions. and like AIDS, it seems incurable. Most people refer to it as "Spring Fever." Luckily, though, symptoms can be relieved temporarily by going outside and basking in warm sunlight. Walks along the beach, drives in the country, or for some, jogging, gives relief from the dreaded symptoms. Others simply prefer to just hang out and enjoy the gradual change from the barren-looking shades of winter gray to the colorful sights and eanhy smells of spring. Ever since l began counting down the remaining weeks until I would be released from this intellectual discipline called school, m>· frustration with being cooped up indoors was reaching a peak-I couldn't concentrate on an)' more school work - I had to get outside and enjoy 1he sunny. warm spring weather.

My "-CCkcnd recreation activities just haven't been satisf}ing enough, so I dug out from the garage my truSt> old bike, aired up the tires and proceeded to ride until my buu hurt. Now this daily di,ersion from the classroom doldrums has helped me keep m> mind clear enough to try for a second wind, "'hich I hope wiU help me rail\ for the final stretch of the semester . For those "ho need a daily escape like me,

I can suggest a couple pleasant bicycle routes that will ease thl' pain of spring fe\ler nnd not take too much valuable time to complete. First, the bike path that starts at the college and follows the route around the Coeur d'Alene Resort and past the city park is a nice JO-minute loop that is easy riding and not ,•ery committing. Extremely well-marked with bike path signs. this route wanders through Coeur d'Alene's southside residential districts. This area of town has a unique feeling and at times blends lake views with restored victorinn mansions of days gone by like those along Lake Shore Drive. Second is the Fernan Lake Road, for those interested in a more challenging route. Follow the first bike path I dccribed, heading east, but stay on Front Street until its end. Then turn left to catch the east end of Sherman Avenue. Continue to ride east on Sherman until it is possible to merge onto the Fernan Lake Road. Once past the ranger station the road becomes very ruraJ in appearance. Although narrow, the sparsley traveled, two-lane paved road wanders around the take shore and up the valley for miles. The very gradual uphill grade experienced when traveling east is a welcome coast for part of the return. If spring fever has become a problem. take a few moments of repose outdoors during this period of glorious spring weather-school will be over before we know it.
