ASNIC board faces more work

by Brandl Reasor Sentinel Reponer ASNI C boa rd me mbe rs wi ll be ass uming more rcsponsibiliLies next semester since they dismissed their publicity direc1or and the activities director resigned, said ASNIC Vice President Shashwati Roy. Lakota Conners, a ppo inted publicity director last semester by newly elected ASNIC President Renee Scou, was officially dismissed from the ASNIC board Dec. 3 because of student complaints about activity awareness.

Activities Director Dominique Flagor resigned during Thanksgiving break because she aware of the problems

and the fact that students were upset, Roy said.

She said the publicity director's job is lo advertise for ASNIC and make students aware of campus activities. The ac1ivities director cannot organize successfu l activi1ies without the publicity to enhance panicipation, and Roy said one position depends on the 01he r. Many students complained 10 the board about being uninformed about activities, Roy said, such as the Stress Olympics.

Roy said that lack of awareness resulted in poor turnouts for these activities. and something had to be done.

Phnrmacy technology studen t Traci Rounseville. 26. said she raised her hand during her 7 a.m. pharmacy-tech math class Nov. 21 10 ask McDonald a question. She said when he finally called on her. he told her that they were done with that problem and refused lO explain it funher.

She said she iumed to a nearby student to have her question answered, and McDonald told her to be quiet and stop disru pting class. When she continued to talk to the student, she said he picked up a yardstick and approached her, his face red and angry.

He then told her 10 move to another seat or leave 1hc classroom.

"His left hand was pointed right at my face." Rounseville said with a ca1ch in her voice. "He kept swiping at my books with the yardstick: then it hit me in the leg."

Stan Maurer, pharmacy technician major, backs Rounsville' s story.

Maurer, who sits ne}{t to Rounseville, said McDonald often speaks to one side of the room. He said Rounseville. on the other side of the room, had her hand up for fi ve minutes, trying 10 get his anention.

Rounseville a nd the student behind her often quietly discuss math proble ms. he said.

Senate debates equal representation Push to give NICE more votes denied

by Kristi Panozzo Sentinel Reporrer Campus equali1y is an important a nd coniroversial issue - even in 1he NIC senate.

There was dispute lw.t semesier between ihc Nonh ldnho College Employees and the faculty over equal representation in the NIC scnaie. Currentl y facully has IO rcpreseniativcs, NICE five and the students have three.

NICE has expressed their dissatisfac1ion wi1h not being able 10 have any kind of control over important issues that affect lhcm.

Because of NICE's dissatisfaction with the n~mbcr o f votes the y have. a co mm1 11ec was formed la st year to determine who is affected by the decisions lhc co mmit1ee makes. The commiuee determined that 95 percenl of the

deciMons that the senate makes affect both NICE and facu lty.

"Even if the student representatives do side with us, the facu lty can still ou1vo1e any1hing that they dis like," said Doug Halliday. a NICE represeniativc who works in the financial aid office.

When it was brought before the senate 10 vote on giving NICE more representatives. it was voted down. " We are stuck because 1he faculty will keep voting agains1 us and winning, because they have more re presentative voles."

Halliday said.

In order for NICE to have more rcpresema1ivc votes. the whole senate hns 10 vote on amending the senalc constituiion to allow this change.

The main concern of faculty in having equal rcprescntaiion is 1hai NICE would have more of a conlrolling vote on some of the curricular issues that come before the senale.

Tom Rigles, physical science ins1ruc1or said he feels c urric ular issues should

receive a majority of votes fro m facu lty studenis didn' t even have any voting and students. members in the senate.

Since then, she said she has changed a lot of things in her life. ··1 love change. I live for change.'' she said "but every now and then, I hit n wall."

K~udtse n recited the sereni ty prayer and said that whenever she runs into n wall. she says the prayer and finds a door in the wall.

"You have 10 beg111 with 1.he end in mind," she said.

"Until you are satisfied with you. you don't have anylhing 10 offer anyone else,'' she said

Future NIC !>tudent; may be enlightened with Native Amencan culture_ Stemming from the July 28 ~igning of a nine-poi nt pact between th e Coeur d'Alene Tribe and college officials. a plan to instill a Nntivc American ~tudies program is being discussed.

While 1he plan 1~11·1 even into 1he first stage of research. 1he program will be designed 10 ed uca te Native American and students from othcr backgrounds about the cullurc of _the tribes in the aren. said Tom Flint, philosophy instructor. " II will help Indian ~ who co me to school keep in touch with education of their own heritnge," he said. "It will enrich people\ lives in this nrea."

Flint said 1ha1 some spccilic classes mighl be devoted solely to Native American s1udies. such as lhe Coeur d'Alene language. but most infom1a1ion taught on the culture will be included in the core curriculum.

"We need diversi 1y for personal growth," ASNIC Vice President Shaswo1i Roy said. "You get to know nbou1 other cultures and it broadens your own horiLOn\."

An example of thi~ idea. Flint ,aid. would be in.siulling a umt of study on the local Coeur d'Alene Tribe into the cum:nt Anthropology 225 cl~s which i~ dc.,igncd 10 educate about Native American~.

1'hc curr( n1 ch1~s 1h01 teaches the hi\lory of AmericJn muqc could mclude n unit on mu~,c designed by Na1 1vc Americans. Flint ,aid.

Dear Editor.

Regarding Wes WoodS' anicle in the Nov. 13 cdilion of the Sentinel, I 1hink WoodS should probably have his facts straighr before he publishes such a slanderous nniclc.

I'm sure WoodS is a very nice. ycl misinformed pcn,on, The world is increasingly divided be1ween those who undc~iand hun1ing, know how ii works and tolcra1c or participate in hunting, nnd 1hose who write sentimental anicl~ or form anti-hunung organizations. Woods' article is misleading. un1ruc and a huge insu ll 10 1hosc of us who huni responsibly.

WoodS implies in his article that hunters buy several tags. Thu type of gross ignorance is ex11c1ly who1 give, hunten. a bad name In Idaho, you are allowed one tag a year for the type of big &llllle animal you are hun1ing.

The exception is 1ha1 Idaho residents are allowed 10 harvest onli one moose in a lifetime. You are no1 able 10 go to your local hardware store :ind purchase 50 deer lags for your extended "redneck" family.

Earlier in his article. Woods staled "No. I don ·1 care abou1 population control or animals. They'll die eventually." I am an avid hunter and nn advoca1e for wildlife. I 1each hun1er educatioo and bow hunter education a~ well. I will be more than happy 10 pl) for Woods' admission in10 my coun.~ this summer so I.hut he can see how hunling works.

If Woods does nol care about wildlife, he ht1., no grounds on which lo base his art iclc.

Hunten. are 1hc main source of revenue for wildlife. They pa)' for 10gs and licensc..5, which, in 1um g~ toward 1he con.-.ervlllioo of thc.-.e animals. Not only does 1he money go to 1he 65 specie, of game hun1ed in Idaho. bul also i1 goe~ 10 1he hundreds of spec,esc( wildlife 1hroughou1 the ~1are. Sponsrncn and women pay for 11h21 is called the "Pitman-RobertSon Ac:l." which i~ a federal 11 pe,«DI 1:u on lircanm and ammunition. This money goes to proJecb 'ludi as the improvemenl of wildlife habitlll, imroduc1ions of wildlik into suitable habitm and re.-.earch into wildlife problems.

Hunting accidems are also on the decline. The humer cd1Ka11on progmm of ldnho has been very innuential in 1hcse ~tali~Li~ In 1953. whh 182,785 licensed hun1cr<, in the ~tare. o totlll of 31 uccidenls we.re recorded: 12 fatal and 19 non-fatal. Compare 1)11; with 1996 when ldnho hnd 334.671 hun1er; bur only fi\'e occioon, and no fmali1ie~ Hunlcrs reali1e thal careful humnn acLion. apphed through the science of wildlife munagemcn1. is cri1ical 101he sunivnl ofm.:iny of 1he na1ion ·s mos1treasured wi ldlife ~pecics. Wildlife is not a resource that can be s1ockpilcd. If any nnnunl o,tmbundlnce of game is nor harvc~led, nature often tal.c~ over in n cruel ruid hmh way through disease and ~tarva1ion.

It is my undcrs1anding i1 is Wood~' Job. a~ an opinion writer. lo gel a reac1ion our of people. He ha~ been ~uccrs.,ful. bUl I ~rronglJ sugge$t he picks u 1opic 1hn1 he h~ some l.nowledge in bef~ he bashes ii.

As humcr, it hour n:,pon~ibility to hum legally. cldy and c1hically. Most importomly. be good ci1i1cn, when cnjoy111g the ~port we love. Don '1 lei Wood,· artidt e:1t al )OU. II ,~ obvi~ ho closed mind holds no n:gurtl for wildlife.

Tice and Woods butt heads on cultural responsibility Cullu_ntl dh'l!n,ity i, as a crown.

1\ thorny crown whcn 111s fortXXI upon us.

13ecou~ of is\ucs forced upon me by ;1 government that feels the need 10 make amend, to people that were screwed by them many ycor, ugo. I find I am pn?Jud1ccd I n:~cnt that my t:uc, arc going to pay for Lrnn,gre"1on, that white men made ngain,t other foll., "hen I wn,n ' t even uround I cmpath11c with the plight of people ,old 11110 ,1:1\cry and forced off of their land, whc"<: women were raped and duldrcn killed. llov.c,cr. I didn't mkc pan in tt.

I didn't wkld the hmchet oc load the gun. I ccruunlydidn't rape the "01ncn or kill the children. But throughout my life. I w1ll 1X1Y for it.

Sometime, I pay through taxe,. wmet1mc, through the loss of a job because of my color or race, ~omctimc\ through ihc revcr,c prejudice I \uffcr bcc:tu\C I am while.

I wonder how long we mu\! pay for 1hc pJ,t. How long does a nice rely on the past to make a point?

YCl., 1he white man did wrong.

No. I shouldn' t hove to pay for it.

I have never been the cau,e of the black man's ngony. the indi,cre1ion~ againM the N11t1\'C Americans or the Mexican,· 1111 \fonunc~.

Bui I ,1~11 ctU1)' 1.hc burden throughout my life.

In the p~I. people sufforcd at the hand, of whnc men, hut they weren't my hand,.

Tne rc,ron,ihility of the!><: uct10M died with tho,e thni carried out the genocide,. mpc, and the unm:cc~,ary mmming of 111nocon1 people.

If I trcut other.. badly. I accept rcspon\1bilit) tor my ac t1ons-t.he hlnn11: would be mine. Out I don't !>l!C where 1hc tragedy of these r-Jce~ i, my fuult--or is ~omcthi ng thnt I could hn,•c changed.

The ac,eounrnb,hty isn't mine to wlc I will alway~ feel for thoc,e wronged. no matter who b respon~ible. Bui my ,yrnpnthy sway, when I'm held liable for slluution, beyond my CQntrol. Even. before my lime.

TI1ere cumCl.\. a 1ime when ,omcone ha, to s1and up and take respon,ibi lity for the snuuuon. Yes. the government ~crewed them. Yei.. ,omc of th1: white: men', ucticm, were hidcou~- but it happen1:d many y1::1n,

ngo. It b time to st:md up and ~ay the past 1s pMt: let' s get on with our lives. We nil have choices we need to make. Let·, take n:~ron, ibility for our own netions before we ask other\ to take respon,1bili1y for thei r,.

How long do people cry about the pa\! without trying to do o;omcthmg about toda)"> Be the) ydlow, whtte, br<>wn. black or red: mun, woman or hcnnuphroditc.

One hundred Debora Tice years from now. wi ll we ,till be Opinion hearing how wronged people were? Or will everyone finally rcali1c that the pa~t h pnM? From this day forward we each have the ability to change.

Accur:11c hi storical references of the while man·, dealing with people i, needed in history book\. The sovcrn ment of the while man needs to admit wrong-doing und tnke mea,urc, to ensure history doo,11·1 repeat i1-,clf.

Ilowevcr, tl1c fact that Amcricaru, today are 1101rcspon~iblc for whm happened hundn:d~ of year,, ago need, to be reinforced.

Th;;: un,wcr h11'1to force cultuml divcr~ity and affirmative acuon upon th\' world.

The an,wcr lie, in tcuching equality to nil.

Not ju,t 1.0 the colon:d people of America. not just bl.'Cause of 1he colored people of Americ;L But bccau,\C everybody deserves the chance at b.:ing e,•crything they dream of.

Not becau!>C 1hey arc block or white, man or woman. but becau;,c they are human.

When we can appn:cia1e divcrsily. we will embrace it, accept it and incorporate it into our lives. U111il then. the bnttlc rages on.

Living in the pa~1 subdue\ growth. A, long a, tht: pa\t i\ a focal poim for our coumry, then our eye, can't be on the futurl!. The truth needs telling, nnd then we all need to get over it, and get on wi1h ii.

"So why should we (lllo in whitey) pay for what our 1111ce!>tors did to lndi:in~. Mc~ican,. bloc!,.,, etc.? It d~11·1 goon now."

S<>rry, Crade~.you mu~t pay.

Whttc people should foci o,•erj11yed that Indians, Me,ican.~. blacks und everybody .:I~.: even talks 10 them.

Wes Woods After all the abu,c\, Opinion inju~tic~ und everythi ng else, what more can you sny?

Whi1e people <hould be happy at the opportunity to give money to a problem tht y cnu....:d and ~till cause today.

Since most people know bln,ks were ~laves. the Indian, owned most of the Unitt d States nnd Mciticam ,11 one lime owned California. and ... I Wlln't get into this. But I will get into how the pa,t directly re lates to the present und fu 1urc: the inner citic\, the high r;ue of unemployment, alcoholism. c:tc. on lndiun reservation~ and the blac k and Mexican gangs There is \!ill work to b<: done.

C/ A racist's dilemma: Which part of me do you hate?

Hi, my nume i~ Bc:n Silvennon, and 1'111 a Jew. You know. one of those sneaky little buggers who want to control the world economy.

Are you surprised? My blond hair and blue eyes might have led you to believe that I was just another white boy from Nonh Idaho. I have a hard enough time budgeting my meager income, let alone conspiring to manipulate the world economy. . By the way. my grandfather was mStrumental in helping mnny Jews leave Nazi Germany du ring WW II. Since the Holocaust is)ust a fabrication, according to my Ary:.n fnends, I suppose you could say that the Jew~ and other minorities in

Gennnny just wan1ed a little vacation.

Perhaps being herded into ghettos and slaughtered like animnls wasn't their idea of fun. I doub1that Auschwiti could have competed wi th Disneyland anyway.

Because of the Holocaust, the Jews get too much 5ympathy to hote thern for long.

Perhaps you may ho1e another part of my heritage.

My mother was born in Canada. Her mother was of British descent and her father was French Canad ion. Those dang Knnucks who live in that frozen wasteland. wlk funny and eat bad food - 11 person could really hate them, ch? Besides their money is wonh less than ours. I' ll see if I can get some of my Jewish friends in the banking

industry to ft.~ it.

And wha1about the French'?

Those Frogs think they know cv.:rythmg about culture. Their funny woy of speaking can re.il1y ~tir up hu1c. And you thought the Ben Silverman Hebrew Opinion language was laughable.

My father w11s born in the United Stnles.

God bless America! His family CM be

traced back to Poland and Rul>.,iO Dam tho,e ~tupid Pollock~ With their lack of intelligc:nct:. they dC\(rved to ge t rc.u,,ed by Germany in WWII. Poland Wlb a grc:11 pince to store the exce,s k "-' and G~1c, until they wen: melted down 10 make soap.

And whol about tho'iC Russian commie reds? Those deviou~ ~on, of b11chc:, almost nuked us Into oblivion. If you can't hale them. who can you hate'!

So you sec, the nc~t time you want to spit on someone. ~pit on me. I ha,·c mnny despi~ d cultures running through my blood.

One more thing. bc~orc you. hate me. take a good hanf look III the mirror and think about where you CllfllC from.

The show opened wit h the Jan Company (the choir) directed hy Michael Smith. The Jazz Company wa.~ in rare form, The women in th.: choir sang a successful rendition of "Johnny Angel," The choir showed courage attempting difficult songs. such ns "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," even though at times the audience couldn·11cll what song was bcmg sung. It was tolerable The best song or the set was "Ray\ Rock House," originally done by Manhattan Transfer. This song was lively and had u good bcot.

The highlight of lhe show wn.~ the fa,, Ensemble. directed

by Terry Jones. 1l1e band wru. all wanned up ,ind ready to go. but they had onc slight problem. They were m1'~ing their director. After abou1 a minute. Jone, made a grand cnlnlnCC which was met with applause.

Muny of the songs featured soloists. which showCllSCd the wide range of tulcnt that this bnnd po~sesse.~. Some of the soloists were Daryl Elmore, Rynn MacClnnathnn, George Conrad, Kaci Tuntland and Nathan Ziegll!r.

The show ended with n collubonnion by lhe Jazz Company and Ja21. Ensemble. They performed II version of "That Cat ,s High," tirranged by Daniel Buckvich. University Of Idaho instructor.

'Tis season to get Scrooged T

For people of all persuasions, I offerthis nifty linle recipe for a terrible day.

You will need I pinl of ill humor. To this. add I or Deb Tice more unfortunn1e incidcm, or holiday pll!l,Surc~ nnd Tice's Spices SCI ii over n good fire.

Warning: Do 001 cover! May blow up in your focel Serve while \i11ling.

Sex-riddled 'Nights' scores big

by Jonas Mc:Nair Srntinel Reporter he words sex and free are the two most powerful words in the Engli~h language In the recent mouon picture ''Boogie Nights" there i, a great deal or ,ex. but none of it came for free: thc\c people were gelling paid Imagine yours.elf back m time. around the late 70's 10 eorly 80'). You probably remember d1~co music. big hair, taMelc,s 5tyle and some designer drugs. All of the\e theme\ were true for that lime but there Wh much more gomg on.

The film "Boogie Nightf' b a movie about the ,ame umc pen<><I and deliver. a tangent of that er.1 thnt many of us are oblivious to. The tangent I um referring 10 i~ the porn mdu~try.

The two mum Mor, in rhis film arc Mark Wahlberg (formerly known Ob Marky Mark) and Bun Reynold, who·~ churac1ers mllke \Omc of the best porn movie~ of the time. The \lOry begm, with Wahlberg', character, a 17-year-old high ,chool dropout who works at a night club performing vnnou\ 1nsk~ lor hi, ho~, and CU\lOmcr<..

It ib at thi~ night club that he meet~ Jack Homer (Reynolds). a big time porno pr;><Juccr. Homer believe\ W;1hlbcrg pobSC\S~ the right qualities 10 become n very ,ucces~ful porn star.

Momer is right. Upon his acceptance of Momcr\ movie ofTer. Wahlberg becomes Dirk Digglcr. a world renowned porn Mar. Digglcr become~ ,,cry ~uccc~~ful 1n the following year-. Mc win\ best porn uctor four yea~ sirnigh1. and hi~ fame within the industry i~ remarkable. His porn movie~ set the ~tondnrd for

T

the rest of the industry.

Homer. Digglcr·~ producer. w,t, also the greatest porn movie producer or the time. His movies delivered a good plot. good acting. and made people want to watch the whole movie.

Although the dynamic duo wa, very successful throughout the year<,, their reign of domination ~oon came to a crashing end. Digglcr :.tan, gelling i1110 cocaine very hca,•ily and hi, performance begin~ 10 dccrca.\e. Horner hire~ a new actor for hi, movies and Diggler becomes very frustrated.

Diggler eventually quits and soon becomes broke, while Homer continues to do wcl I making movies with his new actors. I don't want 10 ruin the Mory for those who haven't seen it, ~o what happens next you will have 10 see for yourself.

The film continues 10 deliver up, and downs throughout 11s 2:40 running time. There 1s a lot of ~ex. drug overdoses, and murder~ representing some of the hard time~ of that era. Although the movie does an excellent job delivering its message there were many scene~ I did not care to ,ce.

Thb film received on R roting, but ii should have received nn NC-17 rating nt the lc:a,1. Thi, seem~ LO be the opinion of many theater owners~ well, Mnce it was only shown 1n 19 theatres acros~ the nation.

For those who love good uc11ng. grem plots and great o;ccne~ I highly recommend this movie. This film is definitely imcndcd for people with an OJ>Cn mind an a good M:n~c of humor.

Metallica unloads new sounds 'Reload' shows metal band's ability to diversify

by Jason Elliot Sentinel Reporter The men in black are back. That's not the characters from the box office smash: Ir· s Mera Iii ca. Their laiesr album."Rcload." has just been released in stores.

Ir is a sequel to !heir last album "Load" which was released in 1996. Most of the songs for "Reload" are unfinished tracks originally intended for "Load."

The first single off their new record. "Memory Remai ns." may be the best song on the album, because it ha~ a more ~uperior sound 1hnn the other songs on the album, I! also includes other tracks like "Pucl" in which. it seems, all ,heir energy was placed, making the song work as metal effort.

Another song that will catch the car of Mctallicu fans 1s "Unforgiven II." a sequel 10 their hit from the "Black Album." It doesn't sound like the original because the new version has a more up-tempo and hurder sound.

Some other songs on "Reload" arc "Where 1he Wild Things Are" which is a slow-bu1-no1-1ha1-boring song: "Devil's Dance." nnd un upbeat song called "Bad Seed'' that seems to show Mc1allica's efforts to experiment with different styles.

The release of "Reload" brought the band back together wit h producer Bob Rock, who also helped produce the "Black Album".

Also. with thi s album came the decision to let their bassist. Ki rk Hammell. play more of a lead role and do things differently from lead si nger James Metficld. On past albums, Hammell seemed confined 10 ploying the same things as Hetfield.

Maybe port of the rea~on that th is record is so different from the others they have released is that, coming off their last tour, they did 001 have as much time to put it together. But sometimes it is good 10 try new things, and that i~ whM Mctallica i~ trying to do in this record.

The fact that they have changed docs not change my view of this band. and it is a
