Law enforcement plans for security adjustment

police for the rest or the c::unpus will be called immediately. Phillips snid. , "We're out of it. The campus is no place for a police dep:ir1men1 and we ha ~e no interest in becoming re· deputized," Pllillips said.

The hippie movement in the 'SOs was the mam reason for suming a police department on c:ampu\, and there is no longer the unrest of Lha1 time. so no reason c:usts for police, according to Phillips.

"If there i~ a problem on the be3ch, as time usu111ly is m the spring with illegal drugs and violauon of the curfew, lhc opprorriatc city or county police au1hor11ies will be no1ificd.'' Phillips said.

The NIC Security Gu11rds arc plann· Ing their new image, which will consist of a new logo, new uniforms and possible arm bands instead or badges. They arc look.mg forward to designing them.

Smoking ban encroaches on student-smoker rights A heated debate over ASN IC's proposed smoking ban has grown fiery red for tobacco puffers, and it is unlikely that the air in current designated smoking areas will be elcared or 1he ashtrays be empty until 1he college senate votes on the issue today.

Even then, if the proposal (10 prohibit smoking in all NlC buildings-including all current designated smoking areas} passes. the issue will be far from seulcd. Although the proposal seems to put non-smokers against smokers. a sizable representation of the non-smoking slu· dent population are concerned the ban will infri nge on student rights.

Staunch supporters of 1he proposal-initiated by NIC's admin imativc council and presented by Dean of Students David Lindsay- arc acting in accordance with many nonsmoking groups nround the country tO· day: public/private 1ransporta1ion. businesses and schools. Lindsay said he felt the proposal represented 1he opinion of the mnjori1y of NIC students. bu1 a vocal group of smokers intend 10 blow some smoke about tha1 contention.

According 10 many students. 1hc r«ble and unscientific smoking survey that was taken by ASNIC does not represent wha1 the student body thinks about 1he issue. A more scientific s1ati,tical anal)•sis was compiled by n statistics class under the supervision of ins1ruc1or Jim McDonald (see results in graph on page I). These results show a fairly even split.between support and opposition to the proposal, but also reflect how many non-smokers ore opposed to such rash action as a complete ban on smok· ing in all campus buildings.

McDonald sa.id that the resulLS arc based on a sample of 1hc s1uden1 population. bu1 conclude that a majority of the student body probably doesn' t support the proposal. Further analysis indicates 1ha1 there is a 86 percent probability 1ha1 if it were on an open

referendum today, it would fail.

Where do we draw the line on s1udco1 rights? Are ASNIC and the coUcge senai,c acting 100 hastily? These are qucsLions thal should be considered b) those representatives who are going 10 ac1 on this issue by casung votes. Uofonuna1ely, only a small group or people will make the decision-representing the wholtt student body. No. studenu "ilJ 1101 gel 10 VOIC on the 1-SSUC. If 11 is approved by the college senate. it wiU go before the board of trustees. and more than likely, will be stamped with their approval because the senate supposedly represents the students, staff and faculty interests.

In a time when there 1s growing concern for human rights issues, those of the smoker seem to be endangered with li11le concern by others. cspeciall, student leaders a.nd administrators. Is ii fair 10 force smokers ou1side wi1hou1 even cons,dcrlng their needs? Wh)' haven '1 more- aherna1ives to current designated smoking locations been considered-if so, arc students aware of possible alternatives? In addition 10 these questions.

ASN IC often has accused the board of 1rus1ecs for hasty and selfish actionssmokers feel they arc being acted against with similar hastiness by student rcprcsen1a1ivcs and the college senate.

If the wording and purpose of the proposal arc unacceptable, the s1uden1 government representa1ives and 1he college senate should view it as an educational opportunity 10 rework and re,·isc it, then present it 10 the student body once again before voting on it. Few proposaJs 10 change policy or law now smoothly through state or national legislative bodies (ie. higher education bill-Idaho State Legislature '89).

Critic blows smoke at column Sen tine I l:.duor:

Having just read Wah Ross' article, "Smokeless rampus violates on student rights" in the March 2 edition or your paper, I find myself compelled 10 compliment him on his wcll-wrillcn argument, and also 10 correct him on n few poini,\.

First, his Ihle should read"Smokejilled buildings violate student rights." I don't belic,·c the proposed smoking ban would prohibit smoking ouLSidc 1hc campus buildings. Mr. Ross implies that smokers will be e,ciJed from the NIC campus entirely.

Secondly. simply because smokers are confined 10 a small area next 10 the main cafeteria does no1 mean 1ha1 their discarded smoke will abide by the same boundaries.

Often it is hard to 1eU if you are sitting in 1he smoking section when actually you arc sitting in the nearby "smokeless" environmcm. Mr. Ross is. corrcc1 by saying thlll a 101ally smokeless campus would be unfair; however, going o utside for an aftermeal smoke is 001 such an unreasonable request for NIC's puffers.

Finally, Mr. Ross. you don't end your article as well as you sumed out. I loved the part- "If 1'm stupid enough to smoke, what do I need an education for?" You conclude with a very shaky comparision between smokers and nonsmokers, and how this diversity is related 10 politics and religion. Huh? I have never known anyone in my 19 years of living 10 have died from lung can~r or emphysema brought on by exccssi\'e political debate or religious discord. The smokers who have jusl read this lcucr are probably smoking mad, but 1ha1's O.K. They can just write a lener 10 the paper and \'Oice their opinions-<lon't slash my tires! To the s1udcm senate: Let's ban smoking from all NIC buildings. and leave the great outdoors (ozone) for the smokers.

LETTERS 1rom p. ~

Library plans almost buried by conservative legislature North Ida.ho College: The Holl5C decision 10 defeat the bill to fund college and university building projectS admiuedly goes down hard. NIC would have received S3,08S,OOO for lhi.s appropriation and could have begun coosiruction of the new facility next fail. The chances of this happening now are preltY slim. However, if there should be a surplus in ne:tl year's budget, a plan is being prepared by the House Ways and Means Commince 10 capture these dollars for higher education building projects. This "Surplus Elimination Bill'"would propose 1ha1 1hc five projcclS identified by the Joim Finance Appropria1ion Comminee (JFAC) would be funded. Of course, the details of 1his bill have not been worked out, but our legisla1ors have promised that the surplus ,.ould be distributed i.n proportion to the dolb.rs requested by the JFAC bill.

As you know, NIC had the suppon of all nonhcrn legislators in the House and Scna1c. These people worked very hard to .secure passage of the bill, and I am sure will be supponivc of future efrons.

As tough u it is to lose such importanl legislation. you should all be very proud of the effons that were made by the many people at the college and in the communi1y. This collective cffon was fell by the legislators in Boise, and I am counting on everyone 10 be there again when we moun1 a new campaign to conunue ibis struggle for funding.

Our request is so fundamental that even1ually we will get the building. Persistence scems 10 be the name of the game, and with your continued support we will realize our objective.

Thank you all for your assistance in this very important endeavor.

NIC Admi ruis f1<A1'io1J

Sinetrcly, C. Roberl Benncu Nonh Idaho College: Thank you very much for your peti1ion regarding the funding for North Idaho College Library Building.

I have been working personally on this issue with your president. Dr. C. Robert Bcnnell, and was disappointed that the measure failed in the HoDSC of Represen1atives. I have been supponive of such a funding mechanism for these very critically needed projects, but as you can tell by the vote agains1 it, the plan was killed by the Republicans in the House.

Hopefully we will be able to find an alternate means of providing badly-needed cons1ruction dollars for colleges and universi1ies across the state.

Sincerely, Gov. Cecil D. Andrus

Tender topics touched in student dating games colleen perron A'> spring approaches, campuses all O\'Cr 1hc country arc filled with s1uden1s whose thoughts arc tum·

ing 10 such 1rines ~ s" imming, sailboarding, part)'· ing, working. Above all, nearl)' everyone's thoughts arc turning 10 "dnung."

Now, this con.iures up different unagc. for different folks. For our young students, it mny be n decatbnlon summer of dating. to see how man)• people one can da1e in a single summer Or 1hc>' alread) may be in''Ohcd in nt least a tolerable, if not comfortable, rdationship tha1 will sec them through the long, hot summer days and steamy nights.

This is usually the C3SC with the younger student.

Boys look for glfls who arc cu1e. undemanding and preferably don'! live "ith their parcnlS. Girls look for guys who have a car, arc not dornina1ing and arc not broke.

For the older student, however. many other things mo.y be considered. Most older srudenlS who have returned to school arc divorced, or if they arc not divorced yet, returning 10 school will usually do it.

The older male s1udcn1's concerns arc: "Does she have children-how old and ho" many? Is her husband still in the vicinity, and, 1f he IS, was it an amiC21blc divorce? Whal is her flDancial situation and wh111 arc her goals? Is she looking for a husband or a car«r?"

The older female student ponders such questions as: "Docs he pay cllild support? Does he 1,1.ork as well as aucnd school? Is he a guilt-ridden father? Arc all of his weekends tllkcn up w11h the little dllrling.s?"

Af1er having iutcnded school for nearly 3 Iii ycan and having observed the ongoing "dating dilemma" of )'oungcr and older studcnlS, I have decided that I have no advice for men. They don't like it; nor will they take it. But for women, whom I fed a keeo, sistcr1) bond with, and with "'horn I share the same suuggl~. I have just a f~ thoughis on the subject of dating and dates from hell.

According to my own personal research as a single, sophistic:ued, woman student of the '80s, l"vc tracked and recorded three types of ·'avallablc" studcn1 meo, which are, of course, the married man, the divorced man and the ever elusive single man.

A"oidancc, if not at least caution, sbo11ld always

apply when considering the sub-species-married man-as dating mate.rial, bearing in mind that his wife and children probably wiU not be ''good spons" about it.

While looking over divorced meo, keep in mind that there is a reason for them being divorced. If you are still interested. try 10 make friends with his ex-wife.

She will be more than thrilled to ·•enlighten" you.

Also, watch for signs of possessivcncss-"!f I can't have you, no one can!" This sta1emen1 usually is foUowed by his lunging for your throa1 aad squeezing it like a pimple.

EXTREME caution should be used in dating a rttently divorced man who is still carrying a 1orch and/ or gun for his ex-wife, and he says you remind him of "her... " And last but no1 lca.s1, you have the rarely sighted. but ever-interesting genuine, single man. Outwdrdly, he may appear quite ordinary. but closer observation 1e,ually reveals an edipal fixation for his mother. averbalized desire to do unwholesome things to srnaU furry animals, or if it's 100 late and you've already gone home with him, you discover assorted ropes and pullics suspended from his bedroom ceiling.

It's on these occasions 1ha1 I pause and reflect on the married man, who suddenly seems 10 possess qualities I've maybe too hastily overlooked. So. as you can sec. I have considerable more research to do.

What are your feelings on the Idaho Legislature striking the higher education bill ?

Access for handicapped students may be improved danylle bailey I was walking out 10 the parking 101 to find my car among the three or four others that were there at around midnight last Tuesday. I was in a tired daze after working for five straight hours on the las! issue of the Sentinel, so I didn't pay very much aucmion as I started to cross 1he street.

Suddenly, I saw headlights and felt 1he weight of a car crash into my body.

The next thing I remembered was waking in a hospital with sanitized white walls and blankets, and that's when the doctor told me I was paral)'ZCd from the waisl down and confined 10 a wheelchair for the rest of my life.

Then I awoke.

That nigh! I sianed wondering what it would be like 10 be in o wheckhair, ond my fi.rst question was: What would I hove to give up if that dream really hod happened?

But then I realized that there is virtually nothing I couldn '1 do in a wheelchair. I could still take pictures and laugh with my friends. I could nill drive a ca.r, but I'd have to gel rid of my old Da1Sun, which would be more or a blessing than a sacrifice. I could still study journalism.

But, wail ... Could I get to all of my classes? I thought of all the buildings in which I ha,·e classes.

Listing them one-by-one in my mind ... Lhe Communication-Ans Building has an elevator. and so does the Hedlund Building. Sherman School i.s only one level. and the Student Union Building and Seiter Hall both have clC\'alors.

What about the Administration Building, the Library Building and Christianson Gym? How would I gel 10 English 103 in A-23? This could pose a problem.

I would have to go 10 Seiter Hall and whcd myself under thal awful moose head that I swore I'd never walk under and go across the bridge, I guess. This could take 1ime-timc 1 don't have. I'm late enough to thal class as it is. I guess I would have 10 become a morning person and get up at the crack of dawn to get there on time.

That night I decided that I "·ouJtl ,1,. 1 little r,;;,earch on this problem and found a pamp1 ~· cnutled 'Cam· pus Access for the Handicapped." 1 ne first para8J11ph or the pamphlet ~ds: "We are proud or North Idaho

College and its commitment to up-grading facilities for the handicapped. or course. all new buildings on crunpus are being designed for reasonably easy access 10 all public areas. Older buildings are being remodele~ where necessary."

The p3Jllphlet is very helpful io showing all han dicapped remooms, ramps, elevators, parking, etc.

But when I read Lhis paragraph I decided that this "remodeling" wa.s something to look into. I had read a s1ory last 1.Ssue about the remodeling of the gym and discovered that, yes. the remodeling plans do provide more handicapped access.

"The ultimate plans for the remodeling call for a hallway from the second floor or the Administration Building into the weight room,'' said Jim Headley, athletic administrative assistant.

Although these plans have 001 even gone to 1he board or trustees yet and do not solve the timccomsuming problem of the Administration and Library Buildings they arc something to look forward 10 in the future.

One ioterc:sting fact that I found when Lalking wilh Headley is that these plans for handicapped access arc mainly due 10 Student input he received from the stu· deot board.

All rightl I was dreaming aboul myself. It's great to sec other students have dreams or changing thing.s 10 bdp others.

Grants made available

by Craig Bruce Wi1b plans for 1he proposed library/computer center a1 North Idaho College al a si.andstiU, the college must look for new funds sources. One source is grants from various agencies.

These grants can be used for many in,. porun1 projecu on campus. According 10 Josephine Webb, assisi.ant 10 President Bennett, a greater diversity of funding is needed for campus projecu.

Webb said 1ha1 progress is being made in obtaining gran ts. for example, Director of Nursing Joan Brogan bas applied for an Interactive Video Demonstration Project for her department. Physics instructors Lloyd Ma11h and Cun Nelson have applied for

a gran1 from the National Science Foundation.

Marsh is also workiag with Peggy Federici lO secure grants 10 help integrate developmental educauon with academic courses.

Math instructor Tom Riglcs bas applied for a si.ate gram 10 train high school teachers in the leaching of more advanced math and science courses.

Judith Sylte, Len Mauei and Dennis Conners have r~-cd a grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities (N. E.H.}. The grant was pan of the League of Innovation program which is funded by 1he N.

Sky's the llmit--Astronomer Allen Batten of Victoria, B.C. Is introduced by Lloyd Marsh.

Astronomer visits campus

by Rosemary Petersen Everywhere in space is found the same kind of maner and looking for evidence of life elsewhere in the solar system drives astronomers lO discover it.

Astronomer Allen Batten from Victoria, British Columbia, spoke on astronomy and astrology at North Idaho College March 2I and 22. Batten ha5 published more than 100 papers on binary smrs and the ltis1ory of astronomy. He is past vice president of the Astronomical Society of the Pncific and is presently a senior research officer at 1he Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria.

Tuesday Bauen showed slides nnd answered Questions from many studenlS

and grade school children in the C-A Auditorium a1 NIC. Since pictures from space have shown the world what a beautiful plane1 Earth is, more people ar~ interested in keeping ii 1ha1 way, Batten said.

"Many astronomers believe there could be huma.ris like us somewhere in space who arc sending radio signals, and so they listen to other stars with radio telescopes to try 10 find them. It is nlways possible someone wiU delect a radio signal from some other body in outer space," Ballen said.

The sun is the mos1 important factor in our solar system for light and heat and the dislanc:e of planets from its surface decides the chances of a life-supporting environment, according 10 Bauen.

.Workshop draws interest

by Rosemary Petersen The library at North Idaho College has been in the news lately because of insumciem facilities and funds 10 build a new one. However, rhe library docs contain all of the oral history tapes for the five north Idaho counties.

Judilh Syltc, NIC history instructor: Fran Bahr, coordinator of the Kootenai County Centennial living history project; Reva Luvaas-Hess reprcscnung University of Idaho and Rodney Frey, director of the Coeur d'Alene Center, participated 10 a history workshop held by Lewis-Clark College. Since then they have been "overwhelmed with inquiries and expressions of enthusiasm" from residents wanting 10 contribute 10 the tapes of Idaho's history.

More than 120 people, ages 17 to SO-plus. attended the workshop and were informed of the procedures to interview anyone that has valuable memories to share with the Idahoans of future generations. ' 'This is truly a grassroots effon," Sylte said. ''It is a fantastic tool that can be used in any direcuon. In rhe Panhandle no one seems to know what anyone else is doing, and that's wh>· it's good 10 all get together 10 know who's intcrc:.ted in history.''

Sharon Boswell. former NI C instructor and guest eApcn from Sca11lc. was really imprcssc.-d with the turnout at the workshop and said Kootenai County was more organiied wuh its centennial project~ than the state of Washington. ·•we arc all making our own hlSlory and should loo~ 10 the future and anticipate what people of the future will wont 10 know so we can preserve the information on our past and present in the best way 10 make II interesting and informational," Boswell said. "We need 10 make the bump of the road 10 the centennial a bump 1ha1 will jolt us into action."

The basic definition of oral history is the taped recording of first -person memories or reminiscences of the past.

Michael J. Miller, director of media services at NIC, said, "The heart of the process is the interpersonal rdotionship, so 10 get a good taped interview, the narrator should try 10 get all the technical aspects out of the way and then concentrate on the intenriew."

Miller gave a demonstration of ri-Ndin11 equipment and how 10 use ir .... 1ne ideo is also 3 good medium 10 prt':<4''" 01 c .,i1h a sort of "whotistic vie,, " of the subj~-.:1.

Syhe said genealogy is cenainly not the whole thing of family history. II is only the skeleton. She said she is convinced family folklore cannot be obtained any other wa)' than by oral history to "flesh" out family history.

Dorothy Dahlgren, director of the museum of North Idaho. said 01cr 5,000 images in photographs have been oollccted. nnd they need oral history to go "' ith the photos. Their goal is to get 500 more photos, Dahlgren said "The NIC library has gaps to fill and needs more tapes on change in business and the community. ethnic community roll in

Wilson said. "Right al the moment, I feel like a social leech. I don't like social security; I never have liked it. But right now it's 1he only income I have."

The maJor obstacle for Wilson is getting lhc special cquipmen1 he needs. Wilson said "regular" tools arc expensive, but 1ools for 1hc blind arc outrageously priced. The Idaho Stale Commission for 1hc Blind has gran1ed him a few picas of equipment and funds ha"e been aUoca1cd to help him stan his busi ness. Wilson said those funds arc not a,•ailablc unul 1he federal govemmen1 matches them.

Among 1he equipment that 1hc Blind Commission gave him is a micromcler. an instrument used 10 measure cin:umference.

41 l Best Coeur d'Alene, ID 8381 4 (7-11 Mall)

STORIES IL was a time in winter After snows crawled Away beneath nonhern slopes To hjde from the moondog's crystal glare ' Round a mad March moon.

Late nights in the cabin, When fire had eaten Halfway through a hickory log And frost had crept up the window pane, My father would tell me stories.

Slowly filling his briar pipe With Half & Half, His slender hands in familiar ritual Of scoop. tamp, light, and puff thrice Before he cleared rus throat to begin.

The old dog would shake and whimper In his sleep And my father would taJk of animal Dreams and Indian legends and why A dog 1urns three times before lying down.

As my eyelids crept lower He 1alked on Of Atlantis, the Incas and pyramjds Crumbling over empty tombs robbed Of I iches and long dead kings.

Frozen falls makes for a challenging climb Text and photos

by Randall Green Translucent blues and greens caprured in a frozen stillness-this is what the 4SO.foot (roun Rainbow Falls looked like when tbe 11110 climbers pulled off the highway to observe it from a distant vantage point.

"That looks like it should get my adrenalin up," John said.

Localed on the south side of the Clarkfork River between Thompson Falu and Plains, Mont ., Rainbow Falls is a popular ice climbing spot for Inland Northwest climbers. To ascend this iceprecipice would be John's fir~, maJor cllmb-firsr ice chmb t11tr. The climb would require several rope-lcng1hs (pitches) 10 reach its top. Since climbing ropes arc only about 150-feet-long, one climber 1w to lead a pitch by climbing with o ne end of the rope auached to his body, while the othe1, anchored securely to the ace or rock cliff. has to feed the rope out slowly (belays).

Climber John Plaster clings to the Ice precipice.

"T his ought 10 be interesting. I have done o. multi-pi1ch climb before."

John said. " Aw. you'll do JUSI fine." the correspondcot said. " Another party is ahead of us, so you will get a chance 10 watch them before v. c sw t climbing. " DC\Cf

John Plaster arrrivlng at the balay station-pitch one.

John had been rock climbing since last spring when he ventured to participate i11 a rock climbing class hosted by NIC's ASNIC Outdoor Recreation ac1ivi1y program. His experience had been only toproping (proc1icc climbing on small cliffs "'~Lb the climbing rope anchored above the climber). but this mode him a con fidcnt belaycr. He said he could do the climbing, but he wasn'1 so sure about the desccnt"ir's not Loo scary if you don't have 10 look down."

As the two approached the climb, they watched the other party climb and talk.

Before long, John ond the correspondent were bantering with the other climbers in the 1ypical good-naturedness pcculiar to this brttd of adventurers.

The conversation revealed that one of the other pany members was in fact a climbing celebrity and legend-Fred Beckey.

According to dimbing history, Fred has pioneered more first ascents in North America tha.o any other human.

"Don't let him know I told you, but he jusi turned 70 the other day." Mike, one of the other climbers. said about Fred.

John watched in wonder os Fred. in his tum 10 climb. literally walked up the ice wall. In a barrage of falling ice chunks, John and the correspondent followed .

When ii was time 10 d&-cnd, the ropes had become ~oakcd and were beginning to 1cc up. The descent became an exciting affair. an undcrsra1cmcn1 John might have argued about. The iced ropes threatened to cause the climber 10 lose control of the descending/friction device's breaking ability. On the edge of panic from 1hc la.st rappel, John finally reached Lhc base of the climb safely.

When the corrcsponden1 arrived safely at John's side he looked up with a ghostly face.

"That old guy, Frcd.. . He's a stud!"

John said.

Coach says baseball squad playing above expectations

by Kim Glrtman The Cardinal baseball team has hopes of improving i1s 8-3 record when it faces the Univcrsi1y of ldoho Club Team a1 noon Saturday in a double-header at NJC. According to Head Coach Jack Bloxom, the team ha\ been playing above his expectations.

For the second year in a row the Cardinals won the Banana Belt Tournament held in Lewuton Morch 24-26.

In the opening game, NIC feU to Spokane Community 2-1. but 1he Cards came back on Saturday when sophomore Greg Kessler pitched a five-hiuu to defeat the Lewis & Oark JV S-1 .

On Sunday, NIC defeated Treasure VnJ!ey Community College of Ontario, Ore., 10-9 in the first game of the day.

In the second game againsi Spokane Community, sophomore Chad Smith from Kalispell picked up the win, allowing just two runs on six hits as NIC won 6-2. The loss was SCC's first of the season.

Smith pitched his best game of the season, Bloxom said, and he was pleased with the win against sec. which was the toughest team NIC has played all year, he said.

The team's biggest strength, Bloxom said, is the sophomore pitching of Steve Schuerman, Kessler, Smith.

Troy Fall, Jim Berry and Tom Brieske.

Sophomore M:ke Meadows from Trail, B.C.• had 1he highest bauing average of all the Cards with .3SS as of March 28, followed by freshman Chris Melian of Coeur d'Alene with .333 and sophomore Jason Altrogge from Trail at .324.

Final Four presents battle at Seattle brian walker

Hoop. hoop hooray! Hoop, hoop hooray! The NCAA Tournament's Final Four has finall)' reached us. The Baule 111 Seattle: IUinois vs Michignn, Seton Hall vs Duke.

As usual. I salvaged two brackets of the tournament. On one I have my predictions. on the other I plug in the actual results as they occur. (Yes, there is a difference.) 11 mal:cs the event more interesting. for me anyway.

The showcase. known as "March M3dncss·· to many. fc:uured 64 teams starving for a national championship. To give you a picture. have you ever 1hro"' n a few food pellets in 10 a pool of fish tha1 arc in a massive glob? Something like that. Before I go any further, hats off 10 the liulc flSh that Yo ere supposedly on the bouom. They arose 10 the cop and got into the thick of things. for the first round an)"'ay.

I'm talking abou1 Sicn:i. Middle Tenncsset State, Mc Neese State and, of course, Princeton.

Remember them? Afm Princeton nearl> made a s1ar1 against GcorgetoYon 10 O\en:omc an oddmaker's b11lioo to one odds of v.inning lhe utle, man) people migh1 believe in thru chances of winning a major 1011(1')', or even Ed McMahon's sweepstakes. Talk about a tadpole against a manea1ing shark (not Tarkanian, be jwt cats tOY.Cls).

As Prince1on coach Pete Carril said, "That's better than the national debt." Sound encouraging or what?

Enough Yoith the x·posst"blc ciodcrcll3 stories. The powerhouses, for the most part. liYed up to their name during the part)'. lo other words, they avoided cmbarassmcnt in the jumbltd early going.

The Final Four, the final act of this extravaganza, won't fearurc mos1 people's favorites in Georgetown and Arizona. But it is guaranteed ... e Yoon '1 witness another Nonh Carolina State in 1983, Villan0\'3 in I98S or even a Kansas of last yeas either. Since all four teams are in the top three seeds in their respccthe regions )'OU could still call it a conventional, bigb-rankings-across-thc-board f'Ulal Four.

My cioderclla story of the tournament is 001 a team. but a coach. Michigan interim coach S1e-·e Fisher not onl)' managed 10 guide the team to the spotlight. but, as equallr imprcssi\t, he did it wit.b reponcrs bound.:ng him about ncn season. He was named interim head coach 1wo da)''S before the tournament after Bill Friedcr acccp1ed a job at ArUona State. Talk about being throv.,i into a frying pan at the last minute.

Seton Hall could have been a cinderclla had II lived up 10 its predicted seventh place Big East finish .

Sull, 11 great StOry in my books, espeoil]Jy for a team being eaten up and sp111n1 out by its confcn:ncc roes a couple yean ago. But in the end, I believe Dulce's experience will prevail. Duke 68. the Hall S8.

The other side features rwo teams m Illinois and Midliga.o that may have been overshadowed by In·

diana's stellar performance during the regular season. If you enjoy watching the tdevision eamcramao get a workout, you'U love this ba11le.

Bolh teamS arc playing citccllent, both teams deserve to get in. rllinois 83, Michigan 80.

Just in case my first 1wo predictions happen 10 be accurate, I sec it lllinoLS 6S, Duke 60 in the game for all the marbles.

As for if the 1oumamcn1 answered the popular question of v.bicb conference is the strongest of the Big Ten, Big East or the Atlantic Cout. you can look at it this way. The ACC had the most invitat.ioos with six. but the Big East had three in the final eight, but the Big Ten has two in the Final Four.

Maybe the national champion v.ill dcodc it. AIi three conferences still have a shot. I honest I)' don't thini there is one. To me, u seems like an old folk talc or like someone's leading me on a wild goose chase.

I'm hopmg those of you who suffered from DVOD (Dick Vitale Overdose) on ESPN during the first round. have recupenned. Enough to watch the Fmal Four on Saturda> an)"'·ay.

Co-coaches combine philosophies to

by Craig Bruce While most lea.ms have a coach and one or more auistanu. the NIC women's basketball team has cocoaches-two coaches v.ho share rcsponsibilit y for running lhe team.

Greg Crimp and Vic Woodward a.re now in their suth year as CO<Oaehcs.

Before Lhal, Crimp coached Lhe Lady Ca,ds, while Woodward was coach at Post Falls High School.

Crimp remembers that the co.coach idea originated when he and Woodward were playing on the same co-rec volleyball team six years ago. " I remember menlionlng some coaching jobs that Vic might be interested in ... •• Cnmp said.

"And I suggested helping him out," Woodward finished.

"Once he naned helpu,g here.''

Crimp said, "we divided rcsponsib1li· ly."

Al first. Woodward eitplaJncd, the two coaches divided responsibility defensively and offensively. But that is now changing.

"We're trying 10 gel away from that.'' Woodward said. He and Cnmp nov. share all dccis,on•making aspects.

Crimp believes that the co-coaches can make dec1s1ons belier than a coach and assistants.

"We've got two heads worlung together here," he i.aid. "Often the coach 11nd 11ssin11nh arc at odds."

Woodward agreed, ahhough he felt that people make more out of the cocoach :upcct than is there.

"Some dedsions, we bounce off the other person, othen v.e reel comfortable mal.ing on our own," hewd " If I ha~c a gut feeling about making 1 )Ub)Ulu· uon or other dCCISlon, I'II mal.e II on m) own"

be a motor-mouth. I suppose I get on Greg's nerves, taU:ing aU the time," he sa.id.

Crimp disagreed.

"I find Vic very helpful . He gives in• put I otherwise wouldn't have." he said.

Bo1b coaches agreed the best thing about their dual role was two heads working together. and that the worst thing was playing on each others frustrations.

"We're both emotional coaches," Woodv.'llrd said. "Sometimes we can get on each other's nerves."

"That would be the worst thing about being co-coaches," Crimp said. "But we can also calm each other down."

The eo<oachcs hal"c more responsibilities than just games. There are also practices, and many players have 10 get used 10 the idea of having 1wo coaches.

"We discuss our responsibilities before we di,•ide them," Crimp said.

"Lots of people wonder how it works out, but I think our situation is better than Just having one coach."

"Two hends are beuer than one. We help each other make decisions, so there are really no problems with decision making." he added.

Woodward said the playen need some adjusting to the co-coaches, but quickly get u,ed to it.

"The main problem the players hove is with contradictory and reinforced messages," Crimp said. " I'II say something, and Vic will say something else, or he 'll say something and I'll repeat it. II takes some getting used to on their oan."

Crimp and Woodward inadvenandy demon&tratcd their role as co-coaches, as they shouted insiructions 10 a departing player.

"Put some ice on that ankle, Leah!"

Woodward shouted.

"Cold compress!" Crimp added. ..Change it every two hours!" Woodward finished.

Both coaches agreed that was a typical example of bow they worked things out.

The Cards, who ended the sea.son with a record of 314-thc best in the school's history-trailed the Wolves by as many as 21 points before making a second-half comeback ro close 10 within four. The rally fell short however. and the Cardinals lost rhc game. 62-S7.

Copiah-Lincoln Jumped 10 a 13-4 lead early in Lhe game before the Cards rallied behind the play of forward Darla Smith, wbo scored eight poinu in the first seven minu1es of the game 10 cut the lead to 13-10.

The remainder of Lhe fim half belonged 10 1hc Lady Wolves, ho""ever, as they went on to ouiscorc the Lady Cards, 26-10. over 1hc next 12 minu tes.

The majority of 1he second half was dom1na1ed by NIC who outscored the Mis,i1s1ppi team, 37-23, an the final 20 minute1 of play. " We were 11 liule mum1da1cd going into the game," co-coach G,cg Cnmp said. "but in the ~ccond half we realized that I,\,'? could ploy wi1h these guy, and we played a more aggressive game."

NIC c.1med its way in10 the 24-team 1ournamcr11 by bcnung Ricli College.

The tournament appcara.o(% was the second straiglu and rounh o~'CJ'all for the Lady Cards. h was also the fine! appearance of what Crimp said was the best sophomore class he bas ever coached.

"They play wilh a team spiril and 1ogetherncss that is uncoachable, •· Crimp said. "It's like-magic."

While all of the starting sopbmorc Lady Cardinals have been offered positions .,.;th Division-I schools, aol all of them have decided to accept the invitations.

Rowing club opens season with Fawley Cup

by Robb Brennan

The NIC Rowing Club is gearing up 10 glide into the spring season. The club is now ou1 of 1hc gym and working ou1 on Lake Coeur d'Alene-weather permiuing-during 1he afternoon until dark.

The spring 1urnou1 wos greater than Lhc fall. which was helpful in filling the void when about one third of the club could not return.

The club con.sists or two complete men's and women's teams which arc divided in10 light and heavy crews. The lighl men's crew includes four men weighing up to 160 pounds. while the women's crew contains four members weighing up 10 130 pounds.

The men's and women's heavy crews also have four members each.

Another team is the Masters Division which consists of a four-man crew and includes people who are out of college.

Another person on the crew is a person known as the coxswain (pronounced COX· an), who serves as the coach on the w111er.

The coxswain is the s1ra1egis1 and director or the team and alert 1hc rowers as 10 their performance and position in relation to the competition. The coxswain's weight should be around 100 pounds. They also serve as a motivator for the team by moving them to higher performance by their rousing speeches.

The club's workouts in the gym consist of about two hours of heavy calis1hcn1cs, sit-ups. puUups. treadmills and running lots of stairs.

While out rowing on the lak,· the club

Either oar--N IC's coed crew practices ror upcoming spring meets. uses a work-out technique c:alled "power tens." This is when the crew rows at full power for ten s trokes. This is a vital time for the crews 10 be working on one of the most imponom aspects of the sportsynchroniuuio:n. After the "power tens" the coxswain tells the CfC\\ 10 do ten strokes 01 half power, then 10 one quarter po"er.

After a brief rest, the cycle is repeated.

The crews arc moni1ored by a launch that follows 300 yards behind them for safety and so the coochcs can follow 1hc
