Student fees for insurance and health care are being Questioned by Nonh Idaho College students and adminislrntors in the wake of rising insurance costs. Of Lhe S97 fee students pay for health protccuon, $88 of it funds s1uden1 insurance, and the remainding S9 provides for a student health clinic and conll'3ct doctor for one hour each morning. The clinic often has been used by students, but NIC cannot afford 10 raise tuition and fee rates beyond those of 01her schools in the area. according 10 Dean of S1uden1S David Lindsay. Both ASN JC and NIC face the ques1ion of whether NIC should change insurance coverage or continue to make mandatory insurance a prerequisite for admission, Lindsay and ASNIC President Mary Jo Hansen said. "Should that (health insurance) be a condition of your enrollment at the college? I think not," he said. ASNIC is currently considering 1h, insurance issue, bu t finding the best insurance option is difficult because questions ~urrounding overall fees and the ongoing lawsuit over the outdoor facilities rec, Hansen said. Although his belief is unsubstantia1ed, Lindsay soid many studcnu may have insurance covera_ge before enrolling at NIC. The existing NIC health plan will 001 cover students' accidents or illness, if the treatmeOL c-0uld be covered by ano1hcr plan, he said. The largest age grou p of students is be!· ween 18 and 21 and another large group is between 3S and SO. Lindsay said: many of lhese students may be covered on parental - --

While Freeman spoke out agains1 the ban, welding instructor Milt Turley said be supported it because if smoking were banned it ,,.ould cut down on m.un1enance costs. "One only need 10 walk through the SUB (S1udCJl1 Union Building) and look at the ceiling and it ... mgive you a very graphic reason tl.S 10 "h)' we should ban smoking on campus," Turley said. "It com money 10 clean that ceiling every year. h coslS money anywhere smoking

Black 5aid. " Is the C.'<· pen.sc or putting m new linolium goi,ig 10 ~ less than the expense of cleaning 1he ceiling?" Proposal "A," which states that smoking should ~ banned in all campus vehicles and buildings, with the exception or the dormitory rooms , was "tnbled" meaning it wouldn' t be put 10 a vote until the next senate mecung, which will be held April 20.

Red tape straps students Recently several students found themselves strapped by bureaucratic red tape when their desperately needed Pell Grant checks didn't arrive. The misunderstanding and delayed payments apparently were mired in ad· ministrative muck. causing the students to understand and expect one thing, while administrators responsible for disbursment did something entirely different. What could be considered an "inconvenient v:ication•· by those affected by the delay added 10 the confu. sion. Tom Saathoff, cootrolkr (chief accounting officer for the college and the one responsible for issuing the checks) was on vacation during the time of confusion and financial stress. therefore unable to act or respond to the matter'. The proverbial run-around ASNIC representatives received while assisting these students was akin to a scencrio some have experienced when dealing with unwieldy govcmmem agencies. The all too familiar: '"That is not my depart· ment ... l don't know who is responsible, but l"m not ...Go to the office on the 99th floor; maybe they can help you," but they neglected 10 mention the elevator was out of order. 11 wasn't all as bad 115 11 sounds. though; several administrators were ge· nuincly co ncerned and offered as~istancc. especiall)' Dean Clarence Haught and Dean Rolly Jurgens.

Students bear test by Robbie Klenholz
The English Competency Exam has been the cause of groaning NJC studenlS for nearly silt years. The main reuon for 1hi1 widespread tension is that lhe exam ~ mandatory for most studcnu, according to English Department Chair Virginia Johnson. A pass on the C."tam i, a prercqu1,1te to enter English 104 tvcn though students cnn pass English 103 without the exam. Since 103 and 104 arc required for euher an A.S. or A.A. degree. the exam presents an obstacle that must be conquered. But studenu don't think the test is fair. One student, a 19.ycar-<ild rreshman, said, "If you're able to pass 103. your teacher should know that you can go into 104." Other reasons for the dislike of the exam arc that if a student has a bad day they would fail the test even though they arc competent. Many students also feel that the three hours given for the exam isn't enough time 10 develop a full essay. The English Co mpetency Exam. however, has undergone many changes 10 benefit the studcnLS, and is organized to be fair, Johnson said. The exam is designed, Johnson said, 10 determine minimal competency in written expression; it tests whether or not the stu• dent can organize a topic, develop main points and use complete sentences with a minimum of grammatical errors. According 10 Johnson. when NIC first started giving the exam 1n 1983, it wos only an hour long. The students were given the topic ahead of time and were allowed to bring one 3xS note card as an outline. The set-up failed. because students wou ld either cram their entire essay onto the card or hire friends 10 write it for them. To eliminate this cheating the topic was not disclosed until tile ume of the e,~am. which was stretched 10 three hours. according 10 Johnson. Even though students feel like the English Department is "out to gel them",
Johnson said lhC) do C',ierythmg possible 10 insure the students' ~uccess. The entire Engh~h 103 ~ is geared toward preparing for the exam, •ilh lhc teachers usuall)' gJV1ng a pracucc test a.od lheo a pre-test reading for :he exam_ ln ad· diuon. lht' 1e11 is offered at lhrce umcs during I he d.ly, u, the student can choose lhc ume mO',l con1terucm for hun H the itudenu read lhe pre-cum handout and gi\le 1t somc 1haughl, Joh!uor said, they ought 10 be able to pw HOWC\'er, tf lhC) don't pau I! rrudsem~ter, they can try ap.in; ooce at the seme~ter and twice duri.'l~ lbc "1mZDCI, Another qualm v,1tb I.he t.nt lies m the grading S} ~tern. Stu~ llunk ooc teacher may pass them and another m.aJ not. The grading policy ~ dCSlgned so WI this will not happen, acx:onfu1g to Joamoo. Twenty people gnde the papers, and each paper is read three times. The teachers lhcn rate the paper from zero to fhe. •ith on)'lhing abo"e l"O as pauing So it's not just one teacher's opinion. And all this comes only after the tcachcn ha\C all agreed on their standards about what constitutes a passing essay, Johnson said. According to Johnson, the gradin1 process is made even more fair by its anony11111y. No teacher secs the Dam( o( the author of the paper they're grading, and il' the) recognize a student's handwrillfl8 lhC) let someone else grade that cum. Students don't realize how high the wccess rate actually is, according 10 Jonmon A little over half of 1he students pass tht r,m lime, and 85-91 percent pass at the semester's end. Writing assessments of this l..ind arc 10· tcmational, and most colleges in ld:thogi\c them. Also, Johnson said. the Idaho legislature is well on its wa)' to pa.ss1ng lav., for th= emms as soon as 1990. not onl) in English. but math and science. E\'cn though most ~tudcnts complain, afterwards they don 'I usuall) think the English Competency Exam was that bad, and most realize the nC'IXC&Sity of ha\iog it.

Since it is so hard to lind out what your persona.ht)' is like. Ross ga"e the 7S ptO· pie in the audience a "What Kind of Person Arc You" questionnaire for them to try 10 decide. The secret of contentment varies w11h personality and personal style, he said.

But according to Head Coach Jad: Bloxom. it ~till ha.sn'1 dampened the ieam's &pina-or 1u desire 10 WUJ . Wsth a record of 13-4, Bloxom said the 1eam 1s 1n much beucr shape than he had earlier anucipatcd II would be at thJ5 point in Ihe sea.son "I'm really pleased," Bloxom &aid. "When we started the season, I didn't think we would be 13-4. I thought we had a chance 10 be over the .SOO mark. bu1 as far .u wmnmg 13 ou1 of 17 ball games, I didn't think we were potentially I.hat good. Right now. if our pitching holds up, I t.hink we could be awfully good.·•
" When we started the season, I didn't think we would be 13-4 " Bloxom has attributed the team's 1\ICCCSS 10 the pitching of the returning lcucrmcn and the batting of the new freshmen. "The new players, the first year pla)-ers. ~ave done a lxller job 111 bat than what I thought they would, " Bloxom said, "but our pitching has gotten us where we arc." Three! of NIC's phchen have combined 10 give the Card1 10 of their 13 wins . Greg Kessler ha• a record of 4--0, followed b) Chad Smith, with a record of3-1 and St~, Schuerman. who has a record of 3-2.

Gossip undermines baseball career
'.,""·

"I love you" or "I'll get a di\ OIC-e" or now, " I'll pay you bad ." Those phrases seem to work bet-
shannon hayward
.'
Baseball sure isn't what it used to be. Well, maybe it always has been like this, but the public just wasn't aware of it. So maybe a more fitting phrase would be lllat baseball just isn'1 what it used to be since Margo Adams lut the scene. For lllose of you not familiar with the name, sbe is the woman who tried to sue Bos1on Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs for almost SJ2 million. This was to be compensation for her lost wages and emotional distress following the breakup of their four-year affair. Apparently, Adams traveled with Boggs quite a bit. And as a result, she missed a 101 of wori.. And Wade, being a good ole' "honest" boy. told her be would reimburse her for her los1 wages. The obvious problem, to me, is just plain common sense. I mean, any woman with half a brain knows belier than 10 get involved with a married man, much less lrUSl him~ally wb.cn he says
ter than a mouse crap. On the other hand, Boggs claimed be stayed in the relationship because he ""as being "blackmailed" by Adams. She had photographs of them together. and he was afraid his wife would find out about the affair. So, what was his plan? Keep up a relationship "11b a "blaclcrna.ilcr" for another four years? Evenrually, wives do find about these kinds of things. At first, questions kept running through my mind-who's right. ""ho's wroag? But after scru1inizing the si1uatioo. I realized that this wasn't a case of right or wrong. Both parties were equally responsible for their actions-no one else. Personally, J feel what people do in their own time is their own business, not mine. And I don't feel it belongs in llle headlines. or on television. What Boggs and Adams did is their business. Bui wb.at complicates this case is llle fact that Boggs was married, with children. So not only bas Adams blurted out llle personal details of her relationship with Boggs in lhc SI00,000 "kiss and tell" Penthouse magazine story, she has managed to involve other people as well-all in order to hurt Boggs•• othlng like sa}'ing to a roomful of rcponers "Wade and I had great sex" and then laugh bcca~ she couldn't think of an exciting place that th.ey "did it"Like on the pitcher's mound. Nothing like driving a stake through a wife's already broken heart.
Okay, so I 'II ad.rru1 I've watched this saga unfold for many months now. And yes, I've seen Boggs and Adam.son TV and read about them in the newspapers (ah hough I've yet to read the Penthouse arucle-1 haven't had the courage to go and buy it!). I've come 10 my own conclusion on the mancr. Adams strikes me as anything but hones1. In fact, she reminds me of a high-paid ''available" woman (for the lack of a better word). I can just see the dollar signs in her eyes. She's basking in all this auention. The saying "Love hath no fury like a woman scorned" cert.a.inly proves its point here. Margo Adams is a prime example-and then some. In a way, f feel kind of sorry for Boggs. His life has been turned upside down. But he should of thought of that before following his instincts. He's lucky he didn't get lhe " Fatal Attraction" treatment. J do respect him. lhough, for getting up in front of cameras and Barbara Walters and admitting be made a mistake-a big, bad one. That takes guts. And he's got a beck. of a wife standing by him. Bw he just better keep his nose clean from now on. In the long run. I'd like 10 see these kind of Stories out of the sports sections and into the "cheap" sk.in rags lik.e Penthouse-where 1bey belong. Aftcr all, the name of the game is baseball, not sex!

Thu~. because ASNIC requires e:ich stu· dent 's coverage by Rhulen Agency, Inc. n~ a cond111on for enrollme111, \tudcnts mny be paying twice for insurance coverage, he s:ud. One solution to th!) problem: NIC could acl as a conduit for an insurance plan. but ollov. individual students the option of pa)'· ing for coverage. Lindsay said. This option has been successful at several other ~late colleg~ and univer~ities. he said. Some student), though, ha,e said insurance coverage provided by the college saved them from financial hardship; these students may not have selected optional coverage, Hansen said. Optional coverage also would moke coverage "noncxtistcnt." because those "ho need and want it (coverage) cannot af. ford it due to the shrunken pool of users th is idea would cause, she said. In addition. rising costs are not causing students to avoid NIC. because combined tuition and fee rates are average compared to those of other colleges m the area; providing insurance coverage can be a added benefit, she said. Another solution may be found by following the lead of other colleges. Lind· say said. Students could save money b) switching from a he:ilth and accident coverage 10 accident-only coverage. he said. "Accident insurance makes sense to me," he sa1d. In addition, students could suspend insurance coverage but keep the hC31th center open. keeping the nurse and doctor availnbk for stude111 use, Lindsay said. ASNIC's board has been relied upon to answer the question: "Whal level of service do the students wan1?" he said. Although AS IC has m the :,ast made decisions concerning student insurance coverage, including the question of optional or mandatory coverage. future decisions may have to be made by the dean or studentS if ASN IC decisions are harmful to NIC's student rel:itions, Lindsay said.
Both Lindsay and Harut11 wd proP'f msurnm:e co\'erage should be cons.idered carefully, but he said polls of studcnu m.1) not be the best cour<.c-mdiVldwll tlllknts ma) ha, c a " ~ntt·Jcrk reaction" and $ US· pend needed coverage. " We want to do wbai's nght b) studcru ("hen designing co,·crage): "e don't• ... t 10 charge them more than " e (AS'-lq ha\'c 10," H:inscn said. "There is no time in your b.ie "bcn )OU arc n.s strapped as "'hen you arc m college." she said ASNIC wanis to mainuu n good coverage, keep the doctor and nurse and kttp the overall cost as incxpcnshe as possible, Hansen said. Other aspects of current insurance coverage deserve consideration by ASNIC and NIC. H:i.nstn said. "There 1s a problem as far as students not rcaliz.ing insurance," a doctor and nurse arc available, she said. Second. NlC should provide students 11.ith a better breakdown of fee destination and US3ge, she said. During the last school year, Lindsay m,-cstigated insurance coverage options. bolh mand:uory :ind optional and presented his findings to AS:-JIC, he said. Five plans were offCTed to ASSIC, and ASNIC was aware of the upcoming insuran« rate hike, be said; ASNIC clcaed to conunue 11.i t.b the same iype of covera.gc. Hansen said optional insurance plam 'Acre coD.Sidcred by ASNIC, but after an informal poll or students (mainly ,o-tech) the studcnLS decided optional co,'Cfage would reduce the pool of users, thus raising C0$1S. Some changes in insurance coverage were made. though, Lindsa} said. Instead or dealing with an agent) based in Boise. NIC no" rccch cs insurance from Rhulcn, pro, 1ded through Coeur d'Alene insul'l!JK:e agency Harris-Dean. This nas provided a bonus for students, he said. If a student encountcrS a problem.
