New program takes flight Welcoming of tourists students soar to success focus of 'ldahost'

by Karin Lau

by Kittle law

Norlh ldallo College is offering Private Pilot Ground School training this semester. "This is the ftrst of five levels required for a certirled pilot's license," according 10 Archie Tinelli of the Communication Education Office. The course, taught by licensed nJght instructor Hans Oyroy, is designed to teach the basic skUls and theories of flying by utilizing the Pcdcrel Aviation Administration-approved Ccssnn Training Program. "The Cessna program is the most widely used night training program in

lhe United States and also enjoys the highest success rate of any current training program," Tinelli said. According to Tinelli, the 14-week course began Jan. 14 with an ertrollment of three, and the second session will begin Thursday, March 8, from 6 to 9 p.m. Classes are meeting in the Hedlund building. Preregistration is required. The cost is $390 per person, which includes all texts and materials.

Tourism is Idaho's third largest industry and to help its cmployee.i learn how to better welcome tourists. the state of Ida.ho is sponsoring a hospitality program called ldahost. According to Annie McKinlay, North Idaho College ldahos1 coordina1or, the program began about a year ago when the state realized "that tourism was a very import.ant part of the state's economy and that it was growing and there was a lot of money in tourism." With lhis in mind, the stare decided 10 promote the industry and in order to do so. fch people needed to be !rained in hospitality. she said. The ruc-hottr coursc will focus four hours of lrai_olng on cus1omcr service hospholity, such as making a good flrst lmpres1ion and new communications skills. Another hour will be spent !corning about Idaho', Centennial celebration, i1s cvent.S nod how people can gel Involved. The lllil hour dc;il, w11h events and amac1ions in Idaho ond tho~ &pecific to North ldnho. McKinlny snld the program is de1lgncd ,o that both employers and employ«s will benefit. Employen benefit bccau1e they have o itarr of well-trained people, which incrca~ Iheir pront b«.tu'>O people Aft' go-

ing to continue using their business. McKinlay said. Some employers believe that they do not need to train !heir cmploycc.s in customer service because people will come 10 their business because customers don't know where else to go, but McKinlay said this is a fallacy. "Well, you know from traveling that you go somewhere and )'OU come home Md say 'Oh, when you arc in Cocttr d'Alene, go to that little cafe blBh blah blah because we were treated so v.eU thcrt.' You 1ell other people," Mc:JGnl3y said. "Or if you're in Cocttr d' Alene for tv.o or three days, there's a good chan~ that you will go back to thnt cafe )'OU fth l"ally comfortable in."

All nnnnciol aid applications ond paperwork for the 1990-91 school year arc due 1 b) April 16, according to Jllle Shankar, director of financial aid. This means that the paperwork from the FAF (financial aid form) must be bad. from the government BS well as all npplications Bud other information rtqucsted b)' the colkge. "The moni~ arc awardtd on a flrstcoml', fim-scrn basis." Shankar said. Those 1hat get their paperwork In earl> have the best chance at the collcge-ba.scd gmnts. Mos1 )tudcnts, &<-cording to Shankar. m1d their FAFs early but get )talltd when the financial aid offic-c writes them requesting other information. Somehow, the letters get lost. mislaid or forgotten and the aid is not awarded. " It is vel)' $!Id," Shankar said. with a shrug of her shoulders. "The swden1s come in Cl<pccting to get their financial aid

and there ls none bccau.sc they didn't finish their paperwork." In order lo hB\'C 1hc information back from the government on time, the FAFs must be sent in al least si., weeks before the April 16 deadline. ··Toe rmancial aid office is glad to help if there art any questions or problems, that is what v.c arc there for," Shankar said. Getting financit1I aid can be vef) frumating and time mll5Uming, Shankar said. Due 10 the high rate of defaulu, the govm1mcnt has stepped up regulatioas, she: said. "The form is incredibly dlffkuh, and the proces5 is atrocious," Shanlnu said. "Tremendous Lime delays arc built into the pro..--ess."

A partheid thrives 11

Mandela still a captive Although he is finally free 10 walk the streets of South Africa, Nelson Mandela remains in bondage-chained down by an outdated law known as apartheid. The leader of the African National Congress was freed Sunday after spending 27 years in prison for conspiring 10 ovenhrow the government. Al the time of his arrest, South Africa had implemented many anti-black laws that banned blacks from entering white neighborhoods without a pass, imposed prison sentences on people of different races who married or had sex and required blacks 10 address whites as "boss" and "master." In reccn1 months, Sout h African President F. W. de Klerk has lifted many of these laws, but the black majority in South Africa is still not allowed to vote or 10 live in white neighborhoods. The multitudes or blacks who 1urned out 10 welcome Mandela back 10 freedom were often met with ' hotgun blnsls from police officers- the South African government's way of ~hawing it is rcndy to deal with the blacks in a more diplomatic fashion. 11's hard 10 believe that, entering the 21st century, a country 1hnt is dominated by 28 million black!> i still being ruled by 5 million whites-a si1111uion 1ha1

must have the Rev. Richard Butler frothi ng al the mouth. Apartheid, the legal segregation of South Africa 's whites, blacks, Asians and mix-raced people, is a gross deprivation of human rights and bas no place in the modern world. For the blacks of South Africa, Nelson's release is a step in the right direction, but it still isn'I enough. UnLil the blacks are allowed to take control of their o wn destiny-of their own country- peace will remain only in the dreams of the South African people.

SAT, FAF, GED required to receive BS david gunter

As a returning aduJt student, you learn to answer the tough questions. " Isn't it hard Lo go back after so many years out of the classroom?" people ask. Or "How do you find time to fit school into your life?" they wonder outloud. Actually, I tell them that college is easier for adults. Look at it this way-the typicaJ, first-time college student is 18 or 19 years old. They have 10 make some major decisions and live with them for as many as six years of study. As adult$, we

are proportionately closer to death and thus have less time 10 pursue certain career choices. This can be a real advantage. As I enter my final semester, I like to think I can offer some helpful tips to others who might follow tllis hallowed path to knowledge. In the interest of higher education, I offer these suggestions: Get used to spending money. Lots of it. Spending money is the easiest part of a college education, because handing it over is the only time you don't have to fill out a form to get something done. More titan anything else, it is those forms which dissuade the aspiring adult student. Fill out every square in every form given 10 you and you'll have no problems. Since virtually all of the appljcations you complete will be processed by computer, it's not so much what you write down as it is how much. The computer will check to see that you have entered some kind of information in every available section. Your academic future

hangs in the balance. Finally, learn not to fear initials. On campus. these initials arc a language in themselves, giving an overview of who you are. what your background is and what plans you have made for your life. For instance, when I contacted LCSC. they told me I could attend NIC, but that I must first fill out an FAF to see if I qualified for a GSL or PELL. While waiting for CSS to send me a SARS, I took the ACT. Once the campus transferred my credits from OCC and figured my GPA, they determined that I would not need 10 enroll in GED, but might have to Lake the SAT at some later date. After graduation. I \\ill be making many payments to both EAS and ELSC. If I don't, I might get a vi~it from the IRS. Years from now, it will all be " orth it when I look on my wall and ~ay Ill m} elf, " I earned that BS."

Columnist frow ns on future logging project robb brennan

To log or not to log. that i& the issue. The issue is whether or not the U.S. Forest Servi~c should nllow the logging of Canfield Mountntn and Nculcton Gulch. The Forest Service is currently examining a number "management alternatives" for the southern slopes or Canfield , which easily is vitiblc to the northeast or Coeur d'Alene. The "preferred" ahcma tivc is the "harvesting" of management unit in question. The proposal calls for the logging of 2.S million board feet of timber, which will be taken in one to. five-acre increments, thus constructing 2.S miles of new roads into previously unroadcd areas, with a long term plan of "harvesting" up to 9S percent of the management unit. Last on the proposal, is the partial retention of visual resources. When asked the reason for the proposed cuts, ~he Forest Service gave a very vague "root-rot" m reply. When I f~st caught wind of the proposal, the tree-hugger m me roared to life. But then I tried to sec the silver lining in the slash cloud. With the

"The Taming of the Shrew" will be presented m Oos-wcll Hall Feb. 23-24 ond Morch 2·3. Rarick said he chose to present "Shrew" because he fell that i1 was one or Shalcesl)(are's bcs1 comedies.

One or these, an FBI agent. 1w the job of 118JUporting him 10 prison through Spokane, Wash. In "Flashback," Dennis Hopper por· trays Huey Walker, an old hippie who went 10 prison for releasing the la.st car of the train OD which Va President Spiro Agnew was speaki111. Walker was a hero in his own time to fellow hippies because or bis strong public speaking for peace and opposition 10 the establishment based upon distrUSl or the aovernmeot in the late 60s. The movie definitely has an imponut messa,ge to offer to those who do not fully uoderstaod the hippies, such as the next generation. However, the movie has a weak SUUCtUre thal makes the cooclusioo a disappointment. Walker has an amazingly run and light attitude about life, ~"CD about being in pmon. His crazy sense of humor is very cnjoyablc. In the movie, Walker is being

taken through Spokane for funher impruo.runent by thccharacm John Buckner, an uptight, yuppie FBI agent, played by the weU-knowo actor Kiefer Sutherland. The plot de.,clops into a number or difrereot tangcnu, some oi which weaken the basic principle or peaceful resisw>cc to events of the time. Sutherland docs an c:xc:eUcnt job with the pan of a stuffy FBI agtnl, espcciaJJy when his characta takes a drastic ruro back to his true identity. The cred!'bllity of this iransformation is impressive. However, Hopper ponraying Walker is the belief character because of his humor and wonderfully positive attitude. The idea of peace and love the movie suaesu is valuable in its motive, althouab it is clouded and vague in implication. II is contradicted ofttD by the turn or action. It loses it's effect from violent and misleading conditions that make the end a disappointment. This movie is eotertai.nioa if the moviegoer can see the humor iniended in sharp, R-rated dialogue. "Flashback" illuminates the hippie movement. bul not everyone will agree with iu penpec:tive on the peace movement.

Ice fishing nonexistent on area lakes by Brian Walker

The fact that there hasn't been ice fishing in the Coeur d'Alene area this year is no wise fishing talc. Jeff Smith, owner of Fins & Feathers Tackle Shop in Coeur d'Alene, said some lakes near Bonners Perry have froze over, but none in the immediate area have. "11 's better In a sense that there is no ice fishing because you can still go out on a boat,'' Smith said. The recent weather hasn't affected fishing results much, according 10 Smith. "The only woy it will offcct it is if the water gets dirty," Smith said. "Overall, It ho,n •t hurt us." Fishing nt this point is the season hllS been calm, according to Brian Leth, employee 01 Block Sheep Tackle Shop In Coeur d'Alene. "Things don't get going until it worms up," Leth ,aid. "There's not o whole lot going on right now." Smith sold the lime of dny doesn't affect the results 01 this time of the year greatly. "In the 511mmcr it's more important if you go early or lntc, but in the wiotcr it doesn't nffcct it us much." Lnkc Coeur d'Alene ha~ proved to be n good ,pot to fish, especially for chinook snlmon, Smith fflid. I le ~t1id 1h01 some that have been cnuglu weighed as much as 42 pound~ nnd the average i~ 18·20 pounds. Smith suid the lnl..c 5hould produce one or the be,1 snhnon yc:11~.

a lot of excitement," Smith said. "What's nice about it is that it is open year round." Leth said stcclhead fishing has been pro. sperous in the Lewiston nrea. Lake Pend Oreille hns improved due to the stricter regulations on the lake two

years ago, l>mith said. Ned Homer, regional fisheries manager, said Priest Lnkc has produced good lake trout (Mackinaw) numbers. The two-fish limit can be ob1alned easily. he said. Smith and Homer said Hayden Lake is

a good choice to fish bass, trout and perch. Fernan Lake is a nice place to fl.Sh because of its large shoreline access, Smith said. The lake conrains perch, bass. nor· them pike, crappie, rainbow trout and cut· 1hroat trout, he Sllld. Smith said rishermen should check the fishing regulation booklet to note the new laws.
