In updating the progress of United Way fund drive on U1e North Idaho College campus, drive coordinator Doris Ayars said, ''NIC has raised S3,3S3.''

Al first Ayars seemed disappointed because her goal for 1hc college had been set at SS.000. However, after comparing this year's dona1ions 10 those from last year, her face lit up in a big smile.

"Last year NIC only raised S2,6S7. That is an increase of nearly $7001 That makes me feel belier," she said. "As long as it's more, it's better. The more money we raise, the more people we can help," Ayars said.

South Idaho leaves union

by Linette Freeman

1 he Idaho Student Lobby, the project 1ha1 the North Idaho College student boord ond adviser Tony Stewart have been working on since the begin• nlng of September, fell through Inst month becau,e the th, cc southern MOie-funded schools refused 10 join, nt·cordlng 10 Joe Newmon, pr~idcnt of the As~ocintcd S1udents.

"Without Boi,c Suuc Uni\'Cr~it)', Idaho State Uniycrsi1y ond College of Southern ldBho, the ISL could not c,ist bc:1muse it would not reprc:.ent enough \tudcnt\ sin1ewlde," Newmon ~nid. "We (the northern school'!) had 110 choice but 10 nbandon the ISL. lnMead \\C formed the NISL." A~otding 10 Newmon, the southern schools abandoned the projcct for n variCl) of reasons.

Distance joined by computer

by Robbie Klenholz Nursing students at Nonh Idaho College can now auend classes offered by Idaho Staie University in Pocatello without ever leaving the NIC campU5, 1hanks 10 a pilo1 project 1n distance education, said Michael J. Miller. director or Tclcmedia Services.

The pilot project LS called an optcl system and consists of a Hcwle11 Packard Vcctm computer with a hard disk required for memory, a speaker telephone for teacher· s1uden1 conversation, two phone modcrru for lransmisslon capabilhy, a keyboard , a graphics tablet and n JO.inch color monitor ror display of both text ond graphics.

According to Miller, this initial project teaches geo ntology phnrmncy and comes from Pocatello, fitting into NI C's nursing program.

"The students arc able to interact hve with their irmructor in Pocatello," Miller .aid.

The technology behind the optel system is about two years old, and is being used to bring education into sparsely populated areas, MIiier said.

"This system is perfect for a place like North Edaho, where we would love to be able 10 ofrcr courses in places like Wallace, St. Maries. Harrison. Murray and others."

Miller said.

The i.ystem works by transmitting 1e,c1 and graphics over phone Uncs 10 the receiving end of the system, the "learning center," where it is displayed on the color monitor for the distanced student. The stu· den1 can draw on the screen using the graphics 111ble1, type answer, on the keyboard and talk 10 the irutructor by way of the speaker phone, according 10 Miller.

"Community colleges around the coun· try arc using the Optel syltcm in ways that arc cost-effective and in a way that reaches studenu who can't drive to the campus on a regular basis," Miller said .

According to Miller. the system lends itself really well 10 classes that arc lecture format, but hands-on courses such as biology pose a bit of a problem. This dra"'back. ho"e\cr, seems 10 be outweigh· ed by the system's od\"antagcs.

Teachers can send graphii:1 or text over phone hnb ahead of classtime, which allows for an uninterrupted ~ion and also sa,cs on cost by transmitung while the phone rates arc down. Miller nlso said the system is easy 10 use.

"Optel is easy 10 work with. It requires a minimum of training, and it's not the kind of technology that gets in the way of teachers and students doing their bwincs.s~mmunicating," Miller said.

According to Miller, 1herc arc several reasoiu why ISU chose NIC to house the pilot proJccl. First, it's far away from Pocatello, where the uaiumission capabili· tycan be tested. Secondly, NIC has a pro rcssional media staff that cnn receive the

transmissions, and lhirdly and perhaps most imp0nantly, NIC has an C\tablishcd nursing program that ,, willing 10 help.

"I think that our nursing depar1mcn1 really dc~rves a pat on the back," Miller said, referring to Joan Brogan. "Nursing is one of NIC's more progressi~e deparimcnts."

According 10 Miller, he woukl like to sec rhe optcl learning centers used 1n small town) in Idaho as they arc being u cd elsewhere. Miller said many small towns are selling up "store-front colltges" 'II here n space is rented 1n town and a IC3ming center is installed for student use.

"It's an opp0nuni1y to ckl.J,cr fdua11on services to people who art normallv loclfd out of it." Miller ~id The cost of tht S)stem m.i) be a fa(lor in 'llhcther or not NIC c,cniuall) adop1• - - - - " -11n

Dear Sentinel Editor: First of all, I want to thank Monica Kiddie for the article she wrote regarding my ability with languages and me.

The article mentioned languages I am acquainted with, and I wish to clarify something Miss Kiddie wrote regarding certain of these languages, as it may lead 10 confusion.

Regarding Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Dutch, Latin, Scottish Gaelic and Rhae10-Romansch, it may seem that I do have reading knowledge and understan· ding of these. This is not necessarily so. What I do have are certain s~ills in any of these listed languages. Language skills are understanding, s~king. reading and writing 1oge1her with understanding of the language cuhur~. I ma)' have one or more skills in any of these languages but I do not neccs.~anly understand lhem to be able to function in an cverday situation. To be foir, I hove had ~omc instruction in any of these languages lasting anywhere from a month 10 three years.

In closing, l do hope that present NIC s1udcn1 and others who will come to this institution will not fc:ir lc:irning another lnnguuge. It should be no1ed 1ha1 studies have shown that student~ who 10}.e language cour,c~ achieve significantly higllcr test scores nnd have greater faci lity in learning. I welcome any student who is worried nbou1 1aklng a foreign language 10 come and talk to me. I om usually in my ornce in the artcrnoo111 after my classes are over.

Students arc my "raison d'e1rc" and I am happy 10 be able to shore ~ome of my knowledge with them.

Thank you again for your feature ar1iclc.

Campaign 'distasteful' Dear Seminel Editor: Nol so very Fairchild.

Probably Idaho's most dLSmstefuJ poliuca.l campaign wa\ that waged against U.S. Senator Frank Church. His op~ition's climax wal the u1ilita1ion of material distorung the senator's posnion on several items, including abortion.

Parking lots of churches all over Idaho were targets for handouLS and nycrs placed under \\ ind hiclds the last Sunday before the election.

As an Idaho propeny owner and an Idaho worker it appears 1hat I should urge Idahoans Lo be braced for a new low at the start of a campaign. Ranlin& Rachel SCI lhe starting tone, but Fruitland St.ale Sen. Roger "Not So Very" Fair· child appears eager to s1an 11o itb a smear rather than with a smile. The negative campaign against Gov. Cecil Andrus by Fairchild started by Roger blamin& his ex wife's remarks and presence as put on by Lhc friends of Andrus.

His former wife itemized a host or past domestic complaints, including reported drug problems by Roger. ln retalliation, Fairchild decides it is wise to suggest our good governor submit 10 tests for AIDS. Not only an insensiL1vc attitude toward those inflicted by Lhe ,•irus, but an inuendo insult against Andrus.

The Republicans would be wise Lo look toward someone like State Sm. Atwell Parry. He is a mature co~rvative who lcnows the importance of working with both sides of the aisle. Meanwhile, I find it comfortable to support and spend spare lime working for t.hc re-<lection of Andrus.

One drastic change brings many positive results monica kiddie I will make no apologies for this column. It's serious. It's personal. It mentions God and religion. But it's something I have to say.

Change. The word itself has always been terrifying for me. Coming from a military background, my family moved almost every year.

So I built up a fear and resistance for changes in my life, even positive ones. But there comes a time in everyone's life when change is a necessity. I recently reached that point in my life.

On Nov . I4, at exactly 3:38 p.m., my life was turned upside-down and inside-out-not just one part of it, but every part in every way. For on Nov. 14, nt exactly 3:38 p.m., I decided to live what I believe. That meant getting rid of all addicitons and being totally sober for the rest of my life. And thnt meant change-drastic, terrifying change.

I could tell all about my life before that change, nil about the partying and addiction and hypocrisy and trash 1 was involved in. But I won't. I want to tnlk about positive 1hings. I wnnt to talk about

change. I want to talk about being sober.

Being sober means having self-respect. It means not being afraid to look in the mirror. It means being able to face myself.

Being sober means getting to class on time. II means doing the best work I can. It means not making excuses for being late or absent. It means taking learning seriously.

Being sober means doing my best at work. It means punching in on time. It means not taking too many sick days. It means getting along with co-workers. It means giving customers lhe service they expect and deserve.

Being sober means having a good relationship with my parents. It means spending time with my mom. It means keeping in touch with my dad.

II means living up to the way I was raised and, not being a disappointment to them. II means honoring my father and mother.

Being sober means paying the bills on time. It means having good credit. It means not wasting money on not being sober. It means planning for the future.

Being sober means building lasting friendships.

It mean) finding out who my real rriends arc. 11 means being 3 real friend .

Being sober means not being a liar. It mean, being nble 10 look my mom straight in the eye ond tell the truth. h means being able to look 01 myself nnd be honest about "hat I sec. It mean, being honest about where my life i\ and where I'm

going.

Being sober means gelling enough sleep. II means being able to discipline the way I spend my time. It means waking up sober and without a hangover. It means get.ting out of bed to face the new day with confidence and a rested spirit.

Being sober means never, never driving while intoxicated.

Being sober means dealing with problems as they arise, before they turn into crises. It means working out problems in relationships.

Being sober means being clcar-mmded. It means thinking logically and sensibly. It mean.s having a good memory.

Being sober means caring about m) appearance. It means weanng clean and ironed clothes. 11 means having a clear complexion Being sober means keeping m} home dcJn It means not living in un,anitan cond111on~ It means having clean dishes 10 u,e. II me.1ns keeping food in the hou~e.

Being sober means thinkma 111 eternal thing~ instead of the 1cmpornry. II me.ins h\lng free from guilt. It mean, bring nblr 10 prny It means rending my Bible: without h,\ngm11 my head in ~hnme. II means going 10 church It me;1m put· ting a~ide nil fal~ehood and being u Chmuan. It mean~ being right with God It mc,,n\ hvmg 111 the Light.

I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Durkn~, on lonAer.

Christmas brings memories of colorful relatives colleen perron As Christmas approaches and the year draws to a close, one reflects on one's credits and debits for the year-possibly for one's life. This is the time of year I tend to recall friends and family I have gained and/ or lost over the years and wonder where everyone is now.

When it comes to family (whom you cannot choose), I think of really long-lost relatives one tends to try to forget, much less claim. You know the ones I mean: eccentric aunts and uncles, generally people NOT from this planet.

I have an Uncle Charlie whom I was never privileged to meet in my lifetime, but l'\·e heard so many stories about him since I was a child, l 'vc developed a vivid mental picture of him in my mind's eye.

Uncle Charlie was kind of a tragic figure as an adult and eventually the family embarrassment.

As a young child, he and his family lived out in the country, eking a living off the land. When Charlie was about 8 years old, be took his vounacr

sister of about 6, whom he adored, out squirrel hunting with him. Through no fault of his own. he accidcntly shot and killed her.

While everyone knew it was not Charlie's fnuh, he was so gricf-sticken by what he had done, his mind became t\\ iStcd and so loo, eventually his body. In his mind he was a monster, so his body began to reOcct countenance.

His arms began to hang "-Cit belO\\ hlS koecs and his face contoned itself and l"-~ted O\er to one side. He disdained human cootact and as he became an adult, he became a "mountain man" whose home was the Idaho mountains outside of Boise.

Over the years, Charlie took care or his oceds

by Lrapping and foraging, coming down out his mountain hideaway only to purchase dried goods once or twice a year.

My mother, who worked at a shoe store as a )'Oung teenager in Boise. vi\ idly rcmcmben SJ>Ol· ting Uncle Charlie coming do"'n the street io the direction of her store one summer when the temperature was about I I Sin the shade. He was dressed in a moth-eaten bear skin coat, his body hunched over and bis face rwisted to one side, knO"-ing that he was coming to see her.

She would be mortified. but she knew it was her privilege to be visited by Uncle Charlie as be had few friends and fewer people he cared about.

So she would endure bis visits with mixed cmot ions, "duty" winning out over social

impropnet1e).

Uncle Charlie died a~ he lived, up in his mountain cabin alone one winter. He hadn't come down in the spring for supptie) as w.as hl5 cu~1om. so a friend eHntuaUy went up to check on him.

When he got there, Uncle Charlle's cabio had been broken into by starving wolves, and virtually notlung "'as left of hi5 remains.

There is something about these kinds o( people m your skeleton closet that makes your life and memories rich as you grow older.

An)""ay, that's what it doe1 for me.

I also ha ..c a "Crazy Aun t Virginia," who is stilJ ali\C. While she is a stricken character not unlike Uncle Charlie, her conduct in life of1tn has been comical.

Crazy Aunt Virginia was always a littk m ange as a chlld, and her propensities toward "weird· ness" grew in width and depth O\'er the years.

M>· grandmother ran Morrow's Rcstarauot in Wallace bade in the 'SOs and vividly remembers Virginia coming into her place to impa.1 ALL the menus to catch and decode the ~ret messages bidden on the soup de jour slips Grandma replac· ed nery day. Grandma was above suspicion, of course, but you never knew who had tampered with that old Royal typewriter.

Campus network seeks grant

Humanities focus of faculty

by Bonnie Henry What to keep, what to throw out, what 10 add, what 10 enhance, and what 10 scale down arc qucstioiu thOl lie at the hean of a college 1ha1 i5 striving to be the best ii can be. Certainly excellence is never achieved by drifting into it, said A. Robert DcHarl in a book entitled Shared Vision: Lcadcr$hip in American Community Colleges

1989.

•'These words desl!ribc the work cul out ror the humanities faculty al North Idaho College," said Judith Syhc, humanities coordinolor.

She said that rcvi1ali,ing the humanities at NIC' has been the focus of aucntion for mnny of the humonhies faculty since hut yenr when NIC applied ond was selected for n nntlonn l grnn1. Out of all community nnd junior colleges that applied ror the grnnt nationwide, only 24 were ~elected to pu11icipa1c.

Syltc (history instructor) ond Jim Mcl eod (Unglish and Scouish ~tudics) recently returned from Woshing1on, D.C., where they allcndcd the Ntulonal Community College Humonitic~ Amxfaiion conference with focultv from nll over the United SttllC\. They ubo talked informnlly whh the American As~ociation of Community nnd Junior Colleges (AACJq about the present gmnt, which is wmpp· Ing up tlus mo nt h.

According 10 Syhe, the gmm is sponsored by 1\1\CJC nnd the Na1ionnl Endowment for the Hurnonitlcs (NeH). NEH h a roundalion established by Congress 10 en\ure thlll humnnitlcs continue to piny n vitnl role in nll nsr>«ts or /\nmkt1n life.

' 'Since being selected for the AACJC/NEH grant, NIC facully has formed a new organization called the Humanities Ne1work." Syhe said. "This group consists of the humani1ies faculty and my colleagues in other disciplines who are interested in where the humanities al NIC are going from here. Their main focus

"Despite bags under my eyes and a cfuuered desk the whole process has been worth it. " is the role humanities play in NI C's general education core curriculum."

A network stccring committee-Laureen Belmont, Lisa Daboll, Tom Flint, Terry Jones, Mcleod and Sylte-mct 1hroug.hou1 the summer to define the objectives of NIC's humaniucs program and to explore avenues or change.

1·11c r6uh of all this discussion has bttn a 76-page report, rcv11ali11ng the humanities, that lays out plant. These in elude rccornmcndations for a "saner place mcnt palky in humanitio courses, waya 10 improve students' critical thinking 1k1IIJ nnd mnl.ing more connections betwcn, the humanities and life In the rtal world," Syllc said.

Coples of lhu rcpart aft' av111l11ble in lht library for n more conclusive study by th<Kt' l111erC)ted in its content.

Regarding placement, Syhe c.,pl4ined. " We arc strongly urging students 10 com• pletc Enghsh I03 and either Spccch 131 or Philosophy I lO, ond to pass the writing

competency exa m-before ta king a humanities class. That will really enhance their chances for succes.s and enjoyment of the COUl"$CS." •'The humanities faculty is excited about plans for a new thrcc<redit Humanhles IOI and an Introduction to the Humanities.

These 1wo classes arc being prepared fo r the I 991 integrated humanities core course," Syhe said.

According to Syhe, students will use a five-question inquiry method to explore seven to nine different genres (literature, art, music ...) and how they work. The ob· jec:tlvc will not be co memorize a body of faclS, but for each sl\Jdcnt 10 learn how 10 apply on his/her own 10 humanities works 1101 previously familiar. This includes learning how to ask the right kind or qu~tions about the subject.

Syltc said, " The idea is to help students discover how all learning is connected to create more coherence in the curriculum so that all the little pieces add up LO something meaningful 10 the average person.

Hopefully this will project the idea that our college is a community or learners, with emphasis on community " According to network member1.

I le graduated from Coeur d'Alene High School the year I became n freshman 1herc. While I learn· cd German sitting in a classroom, he le11rncd ii stationed in Germany.

I didn' t know T odd Crum.

The Chris1111ns cason evokes a rt', ercnce for Ure, s1cmming from 1he birth or Christ. That may be one reason I write m y Christmas column about Todd, the 22-ycar-old Nor1h Idaho College student who died in a car accident Nov. 10.

The other reason is the people he left behind.

One clOSl'•knit fomily o f which Todd was a member was 1he Beginning German class. Five days a week, from 10 10 11 a.m .• 1hese s1udents met on the sunny side of the Administration Building in a room overlooking the front walk.

From there instructor Gene Leroy would beckon out the window to approaching students. Inside, Todd would often lean back in his chair and enj oy the sunshine, his friends said.

April Fraser, one of his close friends, said she mcl Todd in that classroom on the ftrst day of class. " I didn' t know anyone in that class, and I was

looking for a friendly face. I saw Todd, and he looked friendl y. He seemed friendly. caring, sclfns~ured."

She came to discover 1ha1 her ini1inl im prci.sion of Todd was nccura1c. He would check 10 sec if she had finished her lab work and help her, in his roundabout way, fi_nd answers.

Working 1o" ard auaining an English major, Todd hoped 10 become a 1cachcr. His trademark in teaching was t..ind of a reversed Socratic rne1hod, in which he prompted a suing of conclusions until the answer emerged.

He could be IC)S affable,~ hen on the business end of an assignmem, ho"c,cr. April recalled a tc t 1hc)' both took in a class " ~re a bonus qul'S· tion ,,cnt some1hing tile 1his: " \\'ha1 would you gel if Chu Chu Marquez married Mark Twain?"

Ignoring the horrible wordplay. Todd conlcsted thl' historical accurac) of such an arrangement and lost the extra credit points.

April noted that he was all business, l'vcn in 1he way he dressed. His ad,iser thought Todd was ttlready an English major upon meeting h.im. '· He always dressed nicely," April said. " He looked like he'd just come out o f the drycleaners."

Gene Leroy remembered him vividly. ' 'I can still see him walking. He was very positive about people. Because of lha1, I could see him becoming a good teacher." " He really was friendly," student Michelle Braid recalled. " H e was open-armed."

"I look forward 10 playing a hard game of volleyball. It's a disappointment when a game is cancelled," freshman Chris Keith said.

While imaginations arc ruling out the names of most teams such as Raw Broccoli, Ooloo Booloo and the Naughty Sweeties (just to name a few), it's the run involved in intramural sports that produces upcoming evenu 10 watch for such as the NIC ski fest, a bowling 1oumamcn1 and snow football.

Hope the '90s give more than fair results brian walker Alas, the upcoming new year will bring a near end 10 my second d~ade in this world. This met didn't jnr my mind until recently.

I'm afraid I couldn't elaborate on the sports world during my first decadr. After an, a rubber ball bouncing back at me off of the brick siding of our house was a major concern in life. Whether or not it would get pa.st me was even more of one.

Ju,t another one of those childhood personal games that you are now glad nobod)' caught you \ltilh the candid camera.

The 1980s has produced a landmark decade for us in sports. What a ftal it was "hen the United States Olympic hockey team pulled off t~ miracle and dtfeated the mighty Russians. Spealing of miracles, what about when Rollie and Villano,-a played nearly flawless to ~at Mr. Ewing's Georgetown team for the college basketb:ill championship. North Carolina State's Lorenzo Charles' last-second dunk off an air ball to beat Houston is another.

Rut~ took a major leap from the previous decade. The breakaway rim in basketball was add· cd in the early going. The shaucring or backboards was then less common, but ~till not completely cured. Perhaps the '90s will find the solution, but let's hope not because" hat seemed 10 be impo!<Siblc would be impossible. Who \\Ould WllJll to sec something in a video game that wasn't 10 be true on the court?

We can watch reruns in football with tbe instant replays, thanks 10 the past decade. This, m my mind, was a downfall to the game itself and hopefuJly will change in the upcoming years.

I think 1989 brought us one indicauon of how the fans \\ill play a major role in the future.

Measuring 9.9 on the Richter Scale ... Up comes 1~ hand ... And the flag is thrown. The home team is penalized for its crowd being too noisy.

The three-point line io college basketball added a new dimension. h presented a more exciting brood or basketball for both the players and the fans. One must not count out a team "ilh a 12-point deficit "i th a couple minutes remaining in the game anymore.

Talk c.-mts about having a pla)'off S)"Stcm in determining rhe national champion in college football. M)' reaction 10 this is in the negative.

Football's regular seasons, especially in the col· lege ranks, gives us a clearer picture of \\hat cer· tain teams have and did. The uaditionaJ powerhouses usually play each other in some sor1 of combination.

By bo\\ l timc, voters usually have it narrowed down to about three po1en11al champion,. Though a squabble is alway$ evident, a clean cut charn• pion sccms to emerge from the pack, based on iu bo" I appearance and it1 regular se:uon games.

To have such a sy)tcm, you'd have to include more than a few teams in the playoffs like basketball, which would make it impossible as football is meant to be played once a week . Also, it would kill top bowl games such as the Orange Bowl in the proc~s.

I'm hoping one of my wom pct pttVCS will be diminil.hed in the next decade. Let's get rid of tM roucn word " foul pole" m baseball unless they change the rule. The/air pole is the more correct

term. faery square inch of the pole and the air direct· ly abo\C tt extending ~yood the clouds is infa,r territory. How do you think the pole likes ~ins called the exact opposite of what it really is? I figure at least \\e should ca1J it by its correct name.

After all, it's served w well for a long time and "ill be around for awhile. It's never made a mistake as long as I can rcmem~r.

"And it's going...going ... wait a mmute. The ball LS stuck on top of the fair pole. lt '.fa home run. "Hopefully, such a st.acemem will be heard.

Mem· Christmas, and let the New Year present w with the start of the prosperous, safe and hiahlY anticipated '90s.

"When the boys got enough of a particularly nasty railroad bull, they'd set him up and kill him. Hobos arc preuy neat characters, but if you're thinking about picking one up and taking him home for dinner, forget it."

One or the most dangerous things Slim experienced, he chose to do himself. He did what is called "ridfog the rods." Slim said that old boxcars had rods underneath them to hold them up, and he held on to them and road Just two feet orr the ground. He said it was an exhilarating experience. but he wouldn't want to do it again.

"'*'f'f'l'f'f'f'f'f'f'f'f'f'I Girl's letter remembered...

"Ntw York Sun" Editor Francis Pharcelfus Church (/819-1906) recefrl!d a letter from a /lute girl who was asking for his newspape_r's official stance on the txlstence of Santa Claus. Papers around the world have reprinted the editorial Church wrote.

'The New York Sun,' whlrh first printed the piece, was noted at the timtfor its cltar. colorful writing- a replllation it owed in large part to Church's prose."

The Sentinel takes pleasure in reprinting both lelfer and answer f or this Joyous season.

Dear Editor: I om 8 years old. Some of my little friends say 1hcrc is no San1a Claus. Papa says "If you sec i1 in The Sun it's so". Please tell me 1he trut h. is there a Sama Claus?

Virginia O'Hanlon 115 West 95th S1rce1 Virginia, your little friends ore wrong. They have been offected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do 001believe except what they sec. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little mi nds. All minds, Virginia. whether they be mcn'1 or children's, arc lit tle. In thi~ great univcn.c of ours man is mere in'ICCI, on ant, in his intellect , as compa red with the boundlc)S world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge.

Ye,. Virginia. there i, a S0n1n Claus. He exim as certainly a~ love and generosity ond devotion c,ist, nnd you know 1h01 they abound and gi,•e 10 your life it• high~ t beaut y and joy. Al osl How dre11ry would be the world if there were no Sanu1 Clau,!

It woul d be as dreary as if 1hcrc were no Virgin ias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make toleroblr 1hh e~1~1encc. We should hnc no enjoymcru , except in sense and ~lght. ·n 1c ctt'rnnl light "hh whk h childhood rtll, the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Soma Clousl You might ns well 1101 bdie1c ,n fairic<. 1 , ou m1gh1 get your papa •o hire men to w:11ch in oil the chimneys on Chri, tma\ r i t to cat,h Snmn C IOU), but even if they did not \ CC Santa Claus corning down.

NISL from poi• I

------

as the now derunct ISL, Newman said.

Like the ISL, the NISL will be funded by o 2S<cn1 fee charged 10 each full-time student. Also, an e,,tecu1ive board will provide "legislative direction" for the entire lobby. The e,,tccu1ivc board is made up of 1hc presidenis from each member association and one representative from each member association.

An executive director will be elected to preside over meetings of the executive board. According 10 the NISL constitution, the executive director must be a student enrolled al a member school who is not on the executive board Other offices include a treasurer- who must be elected from the executive board; a public relations director 10 be appointed without membership of the CJ<ccu1ivc bonrd, and a lobbyist.

Newman is op1imi\1k that the NISL is on hs way 10 becoming a successful organinnion.

"I hope it (NISL) will :,e a successful lobbying group," Newman said. ''II i\ an uphlll bnnlc because we have lost all our so111hcrn support, but we cnn still be successful."
