Employees irate over unequal pay

by Kevin Brown and JohMy Hunt Swint/ E,lilo,, Rtportu

North Idaho College food service employees are evidently boiling afu:r bearing and discussing a recent report comparing the job grades and salaries of wo~crs on campus.

Ac.cording to a study by a salary consululnt, cooks. food service workers and dishwashers were Bl the bouom of a grading scale used IO evaluate posit.ions. The report and salaries of all campus worKcrs were disniblllCd at employee meetings in April The cafet.eria wor!cers expressed anger over salary inequities and job posit.ions in a leuer IO Joe Cheesman. ditcclOr of Human Resowccs.

In the letter, Swdent Union Building cooks and food service workers complained of wages lower th3n campus custOdians, and SUllCd that their jobs were no less demanding.

"People felt we weren 'tgraded accordingly," said Susan Roberge, a SUB dining room su· pervisor. lo the leUer, the food service employ· ecs said they did not see how working with hot

Ut.ilizing a study they conducted themselves, the food service employees said they receive even less pay lhan people of comparable positions employed by the city and by Koo«:noi Medical Center.

In April 1990, the NIC Board ofTrustces hired Vance Jacobsen & Co.• a consulting !inn on salary reviews, to develop an equitable job cbssificatioo and compensation system for NlC. Their object.ives we.re to assess the internal equity of the existing compensation prac· I.ices and develop a fair and equitable cm· ployec cl3ssilication system.

1n an excerpt from the Final Report to the Board. Jacobson stated that according to the cuslOm salary survcyof70colleges ofcomparable size Ill nine west.em Sl:llCS, NlC salnries were clearly below the going rates. Tl was estimated that thecoUege would need :I.bout a 7.0

to 7.4 percent increase in salaries to pay at the m~ancompct.itive level. But, the report stated, "This does 001 mean thnt all positions would receive the above amounL It refers LO the 10ml salary budget, which would then be allocated in an equitable manner."

Further on, the repoct smtcd, "We found that some internal inequities currently exist in the college's current pay practices."

For purposes of internal equity in salary levels, Jacobson rated and classified all jobs on campus according to their varied levels of mental, physical, social, environmental and acxoontnbilitydiffacult.ies. Apointsys1.em was used IO dctcnnine job classificat.ions, with each factor assigned a certain point value.

ToUJJ point values ranged from 1,000 LO 5,000 points.

The leucr to Cheesman stated that "all but five of us (cafeteria workers} don't even rate :i scale of 1,000."

Senator Larry Craig addresses NIC audience Speaks on gun control, term limits, spending

by Am1nd1 Cowley

S'"''"'' R,p,,,,tr Senato, Larry Craig was at Nonh Idaho College on Thursday. May 2. ln an open forum anended by 12 people, Craig fielded questions on a variety of topics.

The first of lhe topics discussed was gun control. Craig said he was not an advoaue for lhe Brady Bill that would csuiblish a mandatory waiung period before a person would be allowed to purchase a hand gun.

He said tha1 this waiting period has not stopped lhc proliferation of gun owners in lhe swe of California. Craig declared thal lhe bill in front of Congress 10 establish an instantaneous background chock might well be lhe law that passes.

The discussion moved LO the issue of term limillltion for members of Congress. Craig said,··1 would support t.eml limitation-say a term of about 12years- but fustl would

like to reduce staffing, cut down the lengthof lime in Congress, and put politicians back in their home st:ate for more lime."

When asked if he supports public financ· ing for political elections, Craig responded negatively, saying, "One of the 1CSlS of a candidate is lhc ability LO raise money and io convince people to suppon you."

Limitations on the lcnglh of lime a candidate would be allowed LO misc money and limitations on the amound of money that could be raised arc ideas that Craig felt might ha,·e merit Limitations, he cautioned, might prove to be more beneficial LO an incumbent because he or she wouldn't need to establish nrunerccogn.itioa, whilcrealativelyunknown challcngcrwouldhavegreatmediaexpcnses.

The subject of money was 3.ddtcsscd further as Craig spake about the recent changes in Congress on lhc rules recently passed on keepingmoneyraisedforpolilicalcampaigns.

Hesaidthalnotonlywas it no longer allowed for an individual LO donate more than S2000 per campaign and a political action commit-

tee to give more lhan S5<XXl, but a congressman was no longer allowed to keep or gain from that money upon leaving office.

When queried as to whelher he felt that automatic voter registration was beneficial, Craig said that it should be easy LO register but not automatic since a person should be aware of the registration process.

Craig was optimistic about the President's educational refonns. He felt they 113d sul>SWICC th:U promised to change the status quo in a posu:ive manner betausc of theemohasis on ccmpctition and the involvement of cor porate America Fmally, Craig spoke of lhc difference between college swdents of today and those of the sixties. He said I.bat the '60's campus was more acth--e and that "student bodies of LOday are considerably more d.irecll!d in getting their education, in building the LOOls that make them m.ar:lcetablein the economy and in society." He said however, that lheirsocial conscience was not less sensitive but more geared LOward environmenL3l issues and practical concerns.

NI C instructor received poor treatment North Idaho College English instrucioronce said, ''Until a person has thoroughly rcscruched bolh sides or an i$ue, that person is not entillcd IO an opinion on that issue."

Once said-more lhan once--"Thcrc :ire two sides to every issue."

Now, before you applaud me on this fanlaStic revelation. !Cl me enlighten you on how I had lobebealrepeatcdlyovcr the head with this simple fact before it finally sank in.

A liuJe over a year ago. I approached then-Dean of Academic Affairs Dennis Connors out of concern over t.hc way one of my classes was being taught Thiselass was.or course, one instructed by the now infamous Bill Rich:irds.

Common sense told me to first approach Mr. Richards with my problem. However, because I have never been one 10 p:1y much attention lO comDar rel Beehner mon sense, and because my whole gripe was that Richards was unapproachable in mrutcrs that pcnained lO his classes. I instead went to Dr. CoMors where I wns assured that he had heard similar complaints and that something was in the worlcs to remedy this problem.

As the semester progressed, I saw no improvements in the way the class was being instructed, and Richards seemed as aloof as ever. After speaking with many of my classmateS who seemed to share my concerns, several of us decided to voice our opinions in the instruclOr evaluations we were given nt the end of the semester. Surely, Richards would read these evaluations and make proper corrections.

Yet, almost a year later, I became increasingly frustrated to learn some students still hnd many of I.he ssme complaints. In addition to theco;nplaint of unapproechability, some studems of L11e temale gender complained of sexual harassment Following my journalistic instincts, which !Old me to crtatc problems wherever possible, I cornered one of these female gender types and dunandcd to know whatcxacll y were lhcscsexually harassing aclionsRichards had employed on her.

"Well," she said brighlly, tossing her head with a nipping her blond hair to one side. "it all. started one morning when J went inlO (Richard's) office with some coffee and doughnuts for him. But he said, 'No thank you,' that he didn't want them because he hnd alre3dy eaten. I wa.q mad because I had worn my nicest dress. I guess he thought I wasn't good enough fo, him." Allho:igh J have never been accused or being a llll'..lltal ciant, L11is remark made me questions the lcgilil"l:1cy of her complaint.

He lBkcs very complex concepts and puts tllem in a way that can be understood. ln the classroom Mr. Richards never dcflotes swdcnts by condemning or rejecting comments. lnscc:id he carefully dignifies student responses with positive comments. During daily review periods he encourages and reinforces students' observations.

Bill's classroom presentation is always well prepared. He begins with a review of the last lecture ID refresh students' memories. His subject ma1tcr is presented in a logical and discemablc fashion. The addition of videos and overheads help keep students' aucntion. He depicts many of his subject with large, chalk sketehcs that he modifies as his lecture progresses.He also stays on uack during lectures and is not sidetracked by extraneous diversion.

Bill's efforts go beyond the classroom. Each geology class has two field trips. This requires a lot of planning, especially the al Iday Sa1UJday trip. In addition, heis taking personal Lime this Sunday to take a van of students to the "Potlatch Rock and Gem Show." When a student brings in a specimen they've found somewhere, Bill is always eager to share their excitement and discuss it with them.

It is my opinion that those who conticnue to complain about Mr. Richards are those very students who are not willing ID worlc. They arc students who expect entertainment in the classroom. They are students who refuse to ask for help. They are srudeentsWhoare not willing to assume the rcsponsibliity for their own learning! Re can't do it for you. Wake up students-learning is YOUR responsibility.

Very Sincerely, JudyE.Clari::

Prejudice grows when faced with silence, apathy Coeur d'Alene, once known for mining and logging, is now moving toward the image of tourism. With the beautiful lalce to provide summcn.imecnjoymcm and surrounding mounUlinstO provide winter skiing. Coeur d'Alene has real possibilities as a tourist attraction. Unfonunatcly that image is being marred by hale groups, like the Aryan Nations, who insist that the Nonhwl'St is their "territorial imperative" or homeland.

Recently the Washington State Bar Association canceled its annual convention at the Coeur d'Alene Rcson because many of the members were blaclc and did not feel comfonablc coming to an area inhabited by an acLivehatcgroup.

According 10 Floyd Cochmn,publicaffairscoordinatoror the Aryan Nations, the group takes "a certain pride in Linette knowing that our presence scrvcsasade1cnen1 for certain Freeman typCS (of people)."

Cochran isa new face in the Nonh Idaho Aryan organiwtion. Hailing from Upswe New York (about 150 miles nonh of Syracuse), he came to Coeur d'Alene because of the Aryan church. With him he brings a new approach-and it's media savvy.

Instead of burning c ~ and threatening violence he has taken the white supremacist group in a new direction that is politically active. He, along with youths from the compound, have been aucnding local meetings like the convocation series hereat NICand the open meeting on the Coeur d'Alene Tribe's alleged ownership of the lake.

"Someone has to speak for the whitcracc. It is imponant to havcourpcopleactive in the local PTA's,school boards and city councils," Cochran said.

His latest effort to promote the white race was to apply for membership to the Nonhwest Coalition Against Malicious Harassment and to the Kootenai County Taslc

Force.

He said that all groups that belong ID the coalition stand up and arc proud of their heritage-so are the white race and to do it we arc going IO become very active in the community.

However, a news release states that the Aryan nations and the Whit.c Aryan people of the Pacific Nonhwest have been the targets of attacks from the anti-white dominated TllSk Force. It's all a bit confusing.

Cn a press release from the Coalition. nil members must share the same beliefs with the Coalition.

In the by-laws the Coalition denounces the belief in white supremacy and any attempt to promote segregation.

This is a direct conflict between the two organizations.

The truth is Cochran is more dangerous than the average racisL He is educated, articulate and motivated to further his cause in the eyes of the community. And the scariest pan about the whole thing is that his plan could succeed.

Just imnginc the effect of having one Aryan school board member in each of the three local school districts or having a city council member or 1wo believing the lies of h~trod.

A challenge must go out to supporters of cquahtydon't be silent

ur story comes from one or Mona Klingcr's speech classes, in which a usually conservative student included this in her final speech. (She didn ·1 ~tly tell it like this).

Since we don't want to oITend any ccnain national group, we won't say lhat cwo Polish nurses were sitting in a restaurant. Jnsl.C3d, we will call them two NIC nursing students.

Anyway, they were having their lunch when suddenly a man ac the table next LO them st:uted choking on his food. Purposely and sl.'illfully, they bent him over, removed his panes and began licking his buttoek.s. Despite their valiant efforts, nftcr a few minuies the man died.

Rcmorserutly, one nurse looked at the other and said, "I I.Old you that Hind-Lick Manuever would never work!"

Never a dull moment in Ms. Klinger's class. Fittingly, the best would be for the end.

A lthough demils about awards the Sentinel has won are printed elsewhere in this issue. a very special tribute must be mentioned here.

Because we've had a banner year, we weren ·1 real surpri~ (but we were very pleased) that the Sentinel won the Gweral Excellence award in the Rocky MounUlin Collegiate Press competition-the best newspaper among the smaller two-year colleges in 14 states.

Our highest praise ever came from Ray Sullivan, newsroom administra1.0rof theGaz.c1.1e Telegraph of Colorado Springs and General Excellwce jodge for all divisions of the contest. no mau.cr the sii.c or the university and college. This included all universities west of a line from the eastern boarders of North Dako1:1 to Texas (except the Pacific Coast staces).

F

orcwo-thirdsof asingle-sp:ice, type written page (sent to al Icompeting universities

and colleges), Sullivan lamented and enumcra.ted the prevalent weaknesses of the college papers. Then he wrote, "There was one exciting exception, a junior college newspaper, the North ldahoCol lege Sentinel. The journal ism s1udentsat this Coeurd' Alenecollcge... provide more of what the reader wants .... The Sentinel is wriuen and edited that way-most of th-: timc---and not merely LO satisfy staff and college VIP egos. I recommend that 311 RMCPA journalism teochers pick up a few copies of the paper.

working edii.ors and publishers could learn from it too."

Rape 101 workshop gets applause Edil.Or: I want LO thank the powers-that· be who prepared and presented Rape IO I. I fowid the program 10 be infonnative. For those who may not know anything about the incidcnis of rape om ourcampus and what kind ofheIp is available in the event of an attack, the infonnation was adequate. I feel this first workshop was a Cine introduction to a sensitive subject that mo.st people would like to pre!Clld never happened on our fine campus.

However, I was disappointed lhat more infonnalioa was not made available on the number of programs available right here in Coeur d'Alene through the Women's Center.

Being a survivor of rape, domestic violence, and child abuse, I malccitapoint to learn where help is available-io help me heal. I found my way iothe Women's CcntcrwhereJ obtained counseling for my personal problems and training to help me learn what is available and how I can help the program.

I'd like LO thank the lady Crom Spokane who gave very good information thac was extremely helpful. However, it was a shame lhat the college had to bring in someone from Spokane when we have an excellent staff of volunteers and professionals who are trained to deal with rape victims and survivors right here in Coeur d •Alene. I happw to know lhaJ there ase those {who work closely with rape victims) who would be delighted lO help educate the North Id:aho College staff and students regarding

rope and its contributing faclOrS. Sergeant Grcensidcs? made a poim of telling us how imponant it is to gci help right away: to assure 1he victim lhaJ she/he is all riglu and to retain evidence so the police do their job in pulling 1he rapist behind bars. These local advocates are within reach of the telephone and can be there within minuies LO assist the victim during those crucial and critical first moments after the attack. During that time when she/he needs n1I the suppon she/he can get. It isnbsurd LO elude that a victim go all the way LO Spolcane to obmin help when help is immediately nearby.

Higher education came later in life for me: however, il has been one of the most positive experiences of my life. IL stings a Iiulc LO learn lhal some of the people who "run the show" don't seem to have the intercstsor students al heart. I know there arc several who work vC('J hard to make things better for students, and I thank them for their tenacity. To those who don't think this is important all I can say is remember. it· s the students who pay the wages here. It's IIOl I.he other way arowid. I hope this i.~ only the first of an ongoing series of work.shops designed LO deal wilh rape and crime against women.

On the 21st of Aprtl. 1898. 350 soldiers and 12 officers marched pasl lhe white plc:kel gales or Fort Sherman bound for Cuba and the Spanish-American War. They were never lo return. Fort Sherman would be sold al public aucUoo and a short bul colorful chapter 1n lhe story or the Idaho frooUer post wo.s soon lo end.

Instead of students marching off lo class. soldlcrs marched as part of lhelr daily m!lllo.ry routine.

The Fort had been carved out of

the wild and lovely wilderness or North Idaho 20 years carUcr oo lhe recommendation o( Ctvtl War_ hero, General Wllllam Tecumseh Sherman. Sherman. appointed by Ulysses S. Grant, made an lnspcc· Uon lour of lhe Pactflc Northwest. traveling along the btstortc Mullan Road. which had been blazed with a mlghty effort through a prc:vtously looccesslble wilderness. Over thls road had passed thousands of lmmlgnu1ts In the '60s and 70s: ll was almost the only means of travel between Montana. Northern Idaho. Washington and Oregon.

It was to protect these lmmJ· grants that Sherman found himself travcllng Into the heart or lh1s undeveloped region. The young UnJled States of America was still stinging from the sklrmlshes or 1sn with ChiefJoseph: the need lo protect and further the cause of the while settlers was foremost Ln the milJlo.ry mtnd. Sherman bclkvcd that the mllilo.ry and the settlers would each play a role In the changing of the nomadic and · barbaric· IJ!e or the NaUve Amer1·

cans.

Therefore. when Sherman c ame lo a natural crossroads (that had long been used as a gathert.ng place of the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe) where Lake Coeur d'Alene empUes Into the Spokane River. he not only was charmed by Its wild beauty. bul he also sawwtth a soldler's eye a natural site for a forl In 1878, on b1s rccommendaUon. Congress set aside 999 acres of lhls remote lakcshore In Idaho Territory for a milllo.ry posL Camp Coeur d'Alene. It was llrst called, and later. Fort Coeur d'Alene. And to It came the Second U.S. Infantry under the command of Colonel Merrtam.

They came prepared to build a fort. With the $20.000 allocation of the 4 5th Congre5;9. the soldiers set to work and the post took shape. Among the first the bulk!· tngs was a sawmill. 1be poet would eventually be comprised or a total or 52 buildings. among which Included bamlcks. a handsome officer's row. a hospital, stables. a powder magazine. a smithy. a bandstand. a chapel. tee-houses and a school. In 1887. the the fort's name was changed to Fort Sherman lo honor Its rounder.

The posl could boast such amentUes as a school. a chapel. medlcal care provided by a surgeon In the po.,t's Imposing hospital. a library. entertainment by the reglmental band and mililo.ry balls.

As well as music and dancing. they organJ.zed plays. and the town shared the fort's established schools and hospital. There were many. mostly amicable bul nonetheless fierce. rtvalrles between town and mJlJta.ry teams In sport compcUUons-baseball and track being particularly popular. Often the sport cbal· lenges were the top newspaper headlines of the day.

Boating and flshing were (ash· lonable entertainments. 1be fourth of July became a legendary week-long party enjoyed by all.

Visitors. lncludlng the Coeur d'Alene Tribe. would often travd great dlsbnccs to join to lhe picnics. dances. marksmanship displays. games and va.nous daredevil c:xhlblUons.

Unconventional mom wins daughter's heart I don't have a convenUonal mom. I spent lhe flrsl 18 years of my Jlfe wishing she were normal (like my friends' moms). She was married when she was 15 and had four daughters by the llme she was 22. She was a hippie, a sec re ta.ry. a ml II-worker. a waJlrcss. a soclal worker and a tree farm employee. After my sisters and I grew up.

When I was In sixth grade. I entered my mother In the newspaper's annual molher-oflhe-year contest. Thal contest changed my views about being a mother and the w:iy society views motherhood.

The newspaper conlalned the contest rules and an article about lhe previous year's winner. There was a lovely photo oJ the woman and her family. She was obviously a sa.lnt. She was altracUve-complete with a Miss America smile and a June Cleaver ha.tr-do. She had eight. oJne or 20 children (a real mother never bas one child).

I am sure some of the children were adopted. handicapped or foster children.

In the pholo, her husband (the den Ust) and children gazed at her adoringly. All family members wore color-coordinated suJts and dresses which were hand sewn by mom. The family posed cheerfully In front of their nine bedroom, four bath. three-story colonial home with their dog named Spot.

The mother was Involved ln many charllles and organltallons.

In my slxt.h grade lmaglnaUon, I knew that her civilized.

Brady-Bunch children never smacked each other with ha.trbrushes. stabbed each other with eallng utensils nor kicked each other In the mouth. I was poslUve their mother never said the Fword. back-handed them In the car or locked them outside lo play After reading the arllcle. I won· de red why my famlly was so weird.

I wondered how my mother could possibly compare. I was depressed.

My mother only had four children. "Mrs. Cleaver· probably never woke upwtth mascara rings under her eyes llke my mom. How would I describe my mother as atlracUve In her hideous gardcnlngoveraJJs or her long John paja· mas?

My father wasn't a denUst. I wasn't sure what he did. My mother rarely sent us lo school with a hot artery-clogging breakfast of bacon and eggs. Instead she forced to cal gener1c-puffcdwheal cereal from a giant plasllc bag, whJch constanUy spilled all over the cupboard. We even had to put blue sk.lm mllk on our cereal before most of the population new It was healthy.

My mother wasn't In the P.T.A. or any other organtzatlons because she was busy with one of her two or three Jobs. Our home wasn't c.olonlal, but It was large.

It had a wooden fuse box, a homemade wood stove and plants on shelves In Ueu of draperies. We only had one bathroom. the primary place where my sisters and I had most of our knock-down, drag-out nghts.

mother was abnormal by the mother-of-the -year standards. but she did have some attributes.

Though she screamed and yanked pony-tails when she was mad, she was nice sometimes. She was thrifty. She could make spaghetti that magically mulllpllcd wtth a small add.!Uon of water. Lo last eight days. She made lime Jello wllh a rubbery mind of Its own.

There were also the hwnUlaUng left-over pancake sandwiches (bow crcaUvc). which we took to school when we were out of homemade bread. Cod forbid we might have had lo eat store-baked bread!

My mother was a great singer and dancer. She Uked rock and roll music (lucky for us) and played the guJtar and taught us folk songs. She took us lo lhc library because ll was cheap entertain· men!, which gave us a love of read.Ing. So what lf our love Included tacky tabloids? She taught us lo stretch a can of frozen Juice or powdered drink mix by adding five gallons of waler.

We could also talk to her about anything. She Ustcncd to our opl.n.lons when ll was lmportanl. except when we said we hated the raisins In her homemade granola.

LIGHTS ALIVE-NIC art student Kelly Smith aids sculpture creator George Wray as he puts in the finishing touches on his wor1<, "Navigator." photo by Daren Reasor

'Trestle Creek Review' issues available now "George is very inltJ'CSled in the effects of light," A colorful new neon sculptW'C was unvcilcd at a public n:ccption May 2 and now graces the walls of the Union Gallery landing.

Crcaled by artist George Wray, the sculpture, "Navigator", consists of argon and mercury oeon g.lass tubing. It was donated to the Union Gallery and students of North Idaho College through an existing partnership with the Citiun' s Council for the Ans, more commonly known as Art on the Green.

"We've been worting with them for about two years trying to generate the possil>ility (of geuing a neon sculpwre)," NIC art instruetor Allie Vogt said.

Toe sculpture is a welcome addition to a long line or anworks dona1ed to NIC through the over-20-year pannership, including paintings chosen each year fro.,i An on the Green, a concrelC sculpture, and other artwor\s on campus. However, the largest collaboration ~ been the professionally installed Union Gallery, director of the Art on the Green pannership Sue Falley said.

"Our pannel'Ship is unique." Falley said. "I know of no ocher two organizations that have been able to bl.coo their common interests. which arc promoting the ans within our community and making an accessible to eYCryone."

Conttibuting artist George Wray's background is in drawing and painting, Vagt said. He t.eaehes these subje,cu at the University or Idaho.

she said.

At 11 a.m. on the day of the reception. Wray gave a lectwe/slide presentation to NYC students. He incl oded drawings of the piece done for the campus and slides of exterior angles of the two enaanc:es of the Sub closest to the Union Gallery.

During the lccwre, Wray ~ bis thoughts and feelings concerning placement and creation of the sculpture. ''The landing site was the most interesting (place to put the sculpture) because you have such a wide variety of angles of view," Wray said.

One of the things Wray said he insisted on was having the brick wall covered with wall-board to cover up "all those recranglesff. He said he llSCd the existing uack lights to help enhance the sculpture and ~ interesting shadows.

Vogt expressed special thanlcs IO Lanny S~in and bis staff for their work remodeling the entrane.ewa y to the gallery. A plaque was dedicaled in his honor at the public rcc:cption.

The public reception coincided with the opening of Visual Expressions. the NIC Graphic Arts Ponfolio Show. Toe show feawres the work of students Sandy Fox, Dan Fraser, Scou Mafin.

Young love grows in' Ah, Wilderness!'

by KltUe Law

Senrintl Repottl'f

lt was Dick's story-the siory of young Jove, of love's first kiss.

Shown in Boowell Hall Auditorium, u Ah, Wilderness!" had a successful run of four consecutive nights and one Sunday matinee through the last weekend of April.

The play showed the polish and rhythm lypical of direct.Or Tim Rarick. The show went oCf without a hi!Ch. The play was set in CoMccticut, July 4, 1906.The opening scene introduced the Miller family.

Guest perfamer Ed Comachio siole the show as Nat Miller, the father and astute businessman.

The drunk, philandering uncle was played 10 perfection by Ben Brinkley. The audience watched with glee ns Brinkley ate the lobster. shell nndall, and kept the family laughing with his mUJ1clane jokes. His true colors showed when he lent undersUU1ding support IO his drunk nephew.

And then there was Dick, played by Chris Goodson. Dick, in !he idealism of youth. gctS struck down by his sweetheart, nms amok with a "tart" played by Colleen Fontaine. and is finally reconciled with his girl.

Goodson, who already has success under his belt Crom playing in "Noises Off," played the young lover to perfection. He ranged the depths of despair 10 ecsiasy and drew his

audience with him.

The two "bit" pans of the rolliclcing Irish maid, played by Peggy Renick, and the friend who led Dick astray, played by Brian Smith, were the spice in the play. Although their pans were small, they were very real and comical.

The mother, played by Betty Brinkley, Aunt Lilly, played by Sue Spreen, the oldest brother, played by John DeLuca. and the two younger children, played by Kelly Jameson and Nathan Rarick, were thesuppon pan.s that balanced the play and w~ done with perfect profossionnlism.

Honorable Mentions go to the ban.ender.

Many PetcrSOn; the salesman, John Booth; and the girl's father, Jerry Spreen.

The play would not be complete without !he sweetheart. played by Jennifer Leigh, who perfectly portrayed the sweet, innoce;it "first love."

And so we leave our show: Mom and Dad wm off the lights for the night, leaving Dick siu.ing in the moonlight, the sia.rs in the eyes of the young lover.

Young love... Ah. WiJdemesS!

The unofficial Audobon Society Guide to Summer Wildlife

by Kntn Brown Saitilld Edilor

One thing rarely considered by those slowly baking under the summer sun is !hat the

American Heritage Dictiona,y defines sum·

mer. in thc northern hemisphere, as thc period

railing between the summer solstice and I.he au1wnnal equinox, comprising the months or June. July and August. These faas arc not under gmu contemplation because, qui1e simply, v.·hot kind of Idiot would sil on a beach, surrounded by hoL, glistening bodies in reYClling anirc, and wonder which months fall between the summer solstice and autumnal equinox?

A snappy answer to that question is. of course, "Well, how man) kinds of idiois arc 1hctt?"

Too many 10 coun1. However, mMY varieties or the species Homo idiotus (tn111Sla1ed literally, ''weird dude') can be cncounlered during the summer months listed above.

WEIRD DUDE TIPE ' 'A": This being ~ mOSI or iis wnc on wheeled contraptions called "Rollefblades." which alw sounds like the tille or a Jomes Bond movie.

This being dre$..<o in gaudy neon app.1rd, whidt can cause 1emporary blindness at short

~WEIRD DUDE TYPE "B'': The less said

about ~ O'C3ture, lhe better. Su mcc it to say lha1 lie will wear socks in conjuncrion wilh clap rubber $31ldals. (Think of Dad.) WEIRD DUDE TYPE "C": This odious being comes equipped with a frisbee. He can fling it w;th sufficiem force to pencua1e con-

crcte; indeed. several gaping holes in lhe sea wall at the park arc lhe resuh of TYPE ·'C" behavior. Often-prepare lO be shocked-the TYPE "C" DUDES coordinate w;th TYPE ~ "A" DUDES lO annihilate pedestrians.

ALBUM REVIEW

THINKING

AND

THUNDER

by Karin Lau Smt111d Eduor

"I'm sorry. It's starting to hit me like a iwo-ton-heavy something. " -Queensryche, "Empire, " from the album Empire ... And it does. Quecnsryche's latest album immediately hits one upside the head with an atomic sledgehammer. Ar lhe same rime, however, the similarity of their music to such great bands as Rush and Pink Floyd soothes the listener back to the real world, lessening the explosion of heavy metal inside his ears.

Quecnsryche has been called a thinking man's heavy-metal band. Taking pure melal with an artsy twist combined with lyrics about world issues, Queensryche makes the listener both think about the song's words and its music. Their songs aren't for the passive listener who is content with keeping only the beat or singing along with the words.

Empire surprised me, teased me and satisfied me. Queensryche has so many new yet familiar sounds on this album that l never knew what to expect next. One moment l heard a familiar prelude that reminded me of Pink Floyd during their Mome111ary lapse of Reason and the ne.xt moment the music wuld explode into a thunderous metal storm like Ozzy Osbourne's late guiLarist, Randy Rhodes.

Soon Queensryche walks through riffs reminiscent of Rush's 2112. followed by a '70s funk~ryle prelude and interjected with a now similar to Pat Travers' old song. ''Stevie." It's metal music for everyone's different tastes, including those New York Philhannonic buffs.

Unlike their fictional, thematic album, Operation: Mindcrime, Empire is a collection of songs about real life issues, such as love, the homeless, the environment and posirive thinking. lf this album does have a theme. it might be that of dreamsdreams lost, dreams shared, dreams of lhe future, dreams at night.

"Silent Lucidity." which is currently reo:iving plenty of air time on bolh KKZX and KEZE, deals specifically with dreams.

It's a story about a pam,1 who comforts his frightened child who has just awakened from a nightmare. "Hush now, don't you oyl w~ aooy the l81!drop from your eye/ You're lying SQ[e in bed/ It wm aU a bad dream/ spinning in your head."

The parent tel5 his child !hat dreauls can be a wonderful place to \'isit "to face your fears, retrace the yetIISI and ride rhe whims ofyour mind." But lhe father also wooocrs wbelher or not people ever rtally wake up from their dreams, if maybe. just maybe, the real world is really just a dream. This little lu Uaby comforts the listener with its soothing voice, accoustic guitar and background strings. l wish my dad had sang i.t to me when I had nighunares as a child.

The other song iueiving air play is the title track. "Empire," but only on KEZE. KKZX disc jockey John Perry said his Sta· tion played it once during KKZX's Monday at 11 p.m. show, but it didn't get the response the station had hoped for.

Listeners have welcomed it at KEZE, though (along with ''Jet Cicy Woman").

Although not very melodic nor easy to sing along with. the song is out to make a point. Guitarist Chris OcGarmo t01d RIP magazine !hat Queensrydie deosn't want to ''Ram messages down people's lhroats...l just think we try to present awareness to people." In my opinion, "Empire" should be excluded from his comments because it does ram a very imponam message about today's youlh down listener's throats.

"Empire" is a hard~ed story about the streets of America, where kids grow up only to find an AK-47 in their hands to defend their crack businesses. It details what happens when lhe instant road 10 success is taken rather lhan the Jong route through education.

Overall, the album gnaws at lhe soul while pulling it closer to lhe heart of Quecnsryche. Sometimes it soothes, sometimes it lhunders, but no matter what it does, Empire is an exc:cllcnt surprise. It combines lhe bes of all styles of hard rock, bringing back memories of other bands while remaining unique in itself. It also doesn't let lhe listener get by with being

apalhctic about the world because it inten· tionally causes him to lhink about lhin~.

Hopefully this album will help bring awareness to metal-heads who arc not ordinarily exposed to such serious issues in t.beir music. If not, at least listeners will be rewarded with the best metal l have heard in many years.

You and I long to live like wind upon the water.

If we clos~ our eyes, we'll maybe realize there's more to life than what we have known.

Speak-off winners cover AIDS, drunk driving, paramedic experiences

by Dane! Be,ehner SU1ti11LI Edilor

Motivation through the use of visualization was the key to North Idaho College science major Mike Wigle beingSI ()()richer after winning first place in the NlC Speak Off for lhe spring semester '91.

Wigle, one of six finaJjsts chosen to compete in the contest from several of the Speech 131 classes taught at NIC, gave a speech entitled "l Can't Find You." The speech de.alt with the difficulties and dangers of not having one's house ea.sit y identifiable in case of an emergency.

Wigle used props or"visual aids," verbal visualization and his personal experience

as a paramedic for 17 years. "l thought it was a great experience. I'm reaUy glad I've had !his opporrunity. I've learned so much," Wigle said. "It's amazing. I lhought l was just going to pull out a credit for graduation, but (speech) has been n faniastic learning cupc.rience."

The contest was judged by NJC Dean of Students David Lindsay and speech instructors Tim Christie. Tun Rarick. Mona Klinger and Sandy Brashears.

The winner was chosen on a point system. Each judge scored each speaker on a scale of one to six-with one being lhc best The judges then tallied all of their

scoies and the speaker with the lowest total won. Wigle accumulated nine points and was t';osely followed by occupational therapy major Bob Woods with 10. Third place was won by pre-Jaw major Sh3uneu Street WoodsreceivedS75 for his second place speech entitled "A Private Matter," about the problem of AIDS. Woods tcsted positivefortheHJVvirus twoyearsago. Woods encouragededucatorstoteochtheirstudents about AIDS and encouraged everyone to talk or at least think about the deadly dis-

Final 'Rocky' • a must-see moVIe 11 is Iha! time of year-May flowers arc blo0min8, spring is in the air and another Rocky movie has hit fine video stores cverywbcre. For those of you who have lost (X)lllll. (or never began counting) we arc on the fifth Rocky movie. Whether you are a

Rocky fan or not, I.his movie should not be ~ . Rocky V is not just a boxing movie; ii is about lo\'C, family relationships. friendship and betray:i). Rock)' V has something for everyone.

Rocky Balboa, ~ho is ponrayed by Sylvester Stallone, has finally grown up.

No. Rocky's vocabulary has not reached twlH)'lablc words yet, but he does learn a fev,•of life's bard lessons. Rocky V lOUches the heart with its simplicity and honesty.

After all, Rocky is one of America·s heroes, the underdog who always wins and the fighter with unbelievable hcan.

Rocky V opens with the final fight sa:ne from Rocky IV. This is the fight where the blond Russian he·man pounds Rocky Balboa into a mass of bloody flesh. or course, in the fma! rounds, long a ftcr any 5elf-rcspecting referee would have stopped the fight, Rocky fights back to bring an American victory. After the review of Rocky IV, there is a taStefully done nude shot of Stallone in the shower. You have to watch close or you will miss it, I had 10 hit rewind several times just 10 be sure.

Rocky discovers that having his head violently bashed in for the last 10 years has caused major brain trawna. It ~ time for America's underdog-hero to hand in his boxing gloves. No problem: years of fighting the good fight has filled Rocky's bank account with millions. He has a ter· rifle family, a great hOU5C, lots of money ... life ~ good. Surprise! Good ol' uncle Paulie, played by Bun Young, had Rocky sign a tax extension before he left for R~. Both Rocky and uncle Paulie were duped (not a very hard t:wt). Thal official· looking ta.~ extension turned out to be a power of attorney. Of course, the accountant meant to replace Rocky's millions. but he lost all the money in land-<levclopmem schemes.

Rocky, retirtd and bankrupt, moves his family back to the old neighborhood.

Rocky's wife Adrian, played by Talia Shire, gets prettier and more sophiscicatcd with each Rocky movie. Rocky's intelligent, arl&ic son Roben is played by Sylvester Stallone's real-life son Sasha Stallone.

Tommy Morrison, a boxer in real life with a record of 19-0 and John Wayne's grandson, plays the hungry fighter Tom· my GuM. Tommy GUM asks his hero, Rocky Balboa. to manage him. Rock)• leaChcs him c:vcrything he ~'S. tlkcs him

into his fanu1y, and gives Tommy the gift of his love and trust.

George Washington, the big bad fight promoter played by Richard Gant, dresses like an expensive pimp, has a Don Kinglike personalit)' and is out to get Rocky Balboa. Washington seduces Tommy aw.iy from Rocky with lots of money, a sexy rtdhead and a great car. George then convinces Tommy Gunn that the only way he will have respect is 10 fight Rock,•.

You will have uo see the movie to fuid out what happens next. But I will tell you this, with all sarcasm aside, Rocky v is the best of the Rock")'S. There arc some tear· jerking 9:Cllt'S and excellent acting. Stallone plays Rocky with prediaable comfon. Shire po-nrays Adrian's love for Rock')' with hean-wrendting dc:pth. Saw Stallone plays the sensitive Robe:n with a style that bodes well for his furure in aaing. Rocky V has SC\'eral subplots that give it the depth that the previous Rocky movies have been missing.

So put Rocky V on your list of Sunday afternoon mUSl~ movies; rumor has ii that this is the la.st Rocky.

HOW'D YOU TALK ME INTO THIS?- Preparing to lilt ofl.

There·s a new drug flying around Nonh Idaho that's guaranteed to get you higher then you've ever been.

The drug. otherwise known as parasailing, is being administered by Dave Jones and Butch Parks of Coeur d'Alene ParaSnil. And unlike other drugs, this one is safe.

"Oh, we have maybe four or five people out of more than 2,500 each year that, for one reason or another. end up in the water, bot none have ever been physically injured.'

Jones said.

In fact. according LO Parks, parasailing companies in Hawaii that use the same equipment as Coeur d'Alene ParaSail have logged more than 50,000 flights without an 3CCidcnL What mnkes Coeur d'Alene ParaSail safer than olher companies operating in the area is because the parasailor launches and lands from the back of the boat, rather than from the beach or from watcrskiis.

The way it works is the shute is unfurled and inflated from the back of the 28 foot boa1, where it is auached to a coiled up 550 foot winch line. The sailor is then bockJed 10 the shute with a nylon harness that lits around the thighs and stomach.

With the boal wmcd into the wind, the S3ilor sits on the eight foot by eight foot "flight deck.• The winch line is then released and the boat accelerates forward.

The sailor is immediately lifted into the air and continues to rise unul the line feed is halted.

After being pulled along behind (and sometimes beside) the boat, the whole process is reversed. The winch line is reeled in as the boat continues through the wat.er.

When the sailor gets approximately 40 feet from the deck, the boat is again turned into the wind to ensure the shute remains inflated. and the S3ilor is pulled down to the deck where he bnds on his feet.

According LO Parks. the boat used by Coeur d'Alene ParaSail is the only type of

boat that can be in.sured and licensed for parasailing and is Lhc only one of its kind in the region.

Parks and Jones have had a variety of people aboard !heir boat in lhc past.

"The oldcs1 person wc·~e lmd go up was a 91-ycar-old man and his 84-year old wife." Parks said. "We've also had a guy go up who was paralyud from !he waist down."

The cost of the ride is S33.S0 per person or two people can ride in tandum for S47.

The ride lasts for 12 10 15 minutes and satisfaction is guamnt.eed.

"We've never had a complaint..• Parks said. "They all say !hey can't wait to do ii again."

Parts said he and Jones first became interested in lhc idea of Slal'ting a parasailing service after a watching a similar operation while on alrip to M&zatlan, MCJtico. From there they purchased a boat in Hawaii and learned the trade.

"Basicnlly, it was pretty fast and prct1y simple." Parks said.

Coeur d'Alene PnraSail has been operating on Lake Coeur d'Alene for just over a year now and 10 listen to Parks talk, it's all been smooth sailing.

Tradaers head to championship

by Brian Welker Swutd ~ptrltr

Days of training in cool u:mpcratureS are a commonplace for the Nonh Idaho College track tcam, but the athlete.s arc more than aware lhal ihe heal is on with intense menial preparation ... and in Tcias.

Six sophomore tracksLCtS have qualified Cor National Junior College Athletic Association Track&. Field Championships in Odessa.

TexM May 16-18.

Cross country All-Americans Marin Ridley and Kelly Swinney will compete in two events. Ridley .from Bellingham, Wash., ran t1 4:40.77 in I.he l.500mctcrsanda 10:14.Sinthe 3,000t.oqualify. Swinney will run in lhe3,000 (10:19.7) and 5.000 (18:15).

On themen'sside. ChrisGilbenqualilied in the 10.000 with just one race with a 29:55.

Gilben. whose time is believed 10 be in the !Op three in the nation, also qualified in the 1.500

(4:02. first place al regionals) and 5.000. He snid he elected 10 only compete in the 10,000 due to the heat and focus on one race, however.

Steeplechase school record holder David Tejedor, from Spain, also has a top-three time nationally (9:10.7).

George Kinncburgh qualified for I.he 10,000 (31: 13) and MikcKirlceodall l.be5,000 ( 14:45.6). AU lhe qualifiers met national sUllldnrd times LO ndvance.

Head coach Christy Davids, whose team is dominated with dismnce runners, said the change in climaLC could be crucial in the qualifiers' performances at nationals. ''IL's a disadvnnmge when running distance. It's a disadvanmge when sprinting," Davids said.

Perhaps nobody realizes this more than Gilbert. He had the second fastest 10,000 lime nationally heading into themeeL also at Odessa.

last se:ison before finishing sixth. He also ran lhc 5,000, which has a preliminary race. but didn't place.

"To me. my whole race come:. down to my preparation for the heal," Gilbetl said. "It effects us a lot. All my focus is on one race now."

Gilbcn's win in the 1,500 at regionals a1 the College or Southern Idaho m Twin Falls Friday enhanced his speed for the I0.000.

Davids said.

"We raced him shon this year-just for speed," Davids said. "I wanted him 10 win, bul also 10 run fast a1 the end. He ran a last lap or 61 seconds."

Gilbert's focus has been on lhc 10,000 dating back io last season.

"Nobody that is goiog 10 be there isou1 of my range,"Gilbensaid. ''I prcuy much believe that everyone on lhc line is there 10 gel bcaL" Tejedor won the regional dlle in the steeplechase. He led most or the wny and wasn't pressed al the end of the windy race.

Davids said. The win should build confidence, especially afLCtcompctingagnins1 several fouryear schools during the season, he said.

Davids said Ridley's third place ume of 5:00 in the l,500 was the biggest highlight of lhc team a1 CSl. "ShebauJed. Every lap was prcuyagonizing," Davids said ofRiclley, who was fighting a cold. "She was preuy much dead on her feel.

It's a real credit to her performance."

Ridley will go to nationals as a favoriLC, Davids said. ''Sheh:ls lhcsllllllina todouble(in evenis)."

Davids said. "It's just a maucr of going and doing the same thing twice (in Lbe 1,500)."

Swinney, who fm.ishcd third al regionals with an 11 :02 in the 3,000, is a favorite in the 5,000, lhe coach said.

"Kelly will run bcuer in lhc S,000 lhan she'll run in the 3,000 because she is a IOI sLrOOgcr than she is fasL" Kinneburgh and Kirkendall could be surprises al nationals. Davids said. ''George is going in with prctLy much nothing to lose. He's running pretty blind.

He's run faster than last year's winning time.

Darren Hun1crplacedsiltth in the 1.500(4:12).

Mindy Wright was siJtlh in the 400 hurdles (77.49) and 400 (68.0). Edie Dit.cman ~ sixth in the discus ( 109-4) andshotpu1 (37-4).

Davids said nm qualifying Mark Freel (800) and Dave Smith (400) were disappointments.

Freel, who missed the standard of l:S2.61 with a 1:52.9 calierthisscason. was favored in thcevent,bul tripped during the raccaJ regionals for lhc second sltnighl year. His legs tangled with another runner's with less than 50 mc1c,s left in the race, Davids said.

Smith, after ruooing a 50.6 in the preliminaries. pulled his left hamstring in the finals. Both ruooers probably would've won if !hey hadn't stopped, Davids said.

Freel and Hunter will have their fuial chance to qualify at a University of Washington meet Saturda.y. Hunter will compete in Lhc 5 000 and Freel the 800.

• DaVJds said he has been pleased with his 1cam's pcrfonru1nces. School records in !lie men· s 3,000. 5,000. I0.000. steeplechase an! the women's l.SOOand3,000arcan indicatiOI of the individual strength of the team.

"A lot of people tluucndcd up in lhc top 10 (on lhcschoolchans)wercfrcshmen," Davids said. '11lat sits well with next year."

She will be editing the lifestyles section again during fall semcsicr. Linette Freeman was executive editor this year. She plans to continue her college education in Oklahoma.

The sports section will be taken over by Darrel Boehner, who was exccutivecditor two yrors ago.

Entering the Rocky Mountain Collcgiote press Association contesl for the first time. the Sentinel made a sweep of many of the conlCSl's most prestigious awards, including first place for geoeral excellence.

Colleges and universities from 14 Rocky Mountain states panicip:ued in the conlCSL Of the 70awards )X'CSClllttl in the small two-ye:ir school division, the Sentinel garnered 26 top awards.

On the heels of these awards, 12 members of the Sentinel Staff will be presented with sevc.ral more awards at a Society of Profcs, sional JoumalislS banquet in Spokane, Saturday.

A leuer sent to the Sentinel by the RMCPA judges said the Sentinel is "simply the best student newspaper in the RMCPA general c.~ccllcncc categories."

Another letter sent IO all entrants in the contest by theRMCPA staled that, for the most pan, general excellence entries were weak efforts in several key areas. The only exception, the letter said, was the Sentinel. The leucr said otherjournalism deparuncots should ''pick upa fcwcopiesoftheScntinel and learn from iL"

Soccer at NIC? A bn::11h-taking thought. 11 probably will never happen, but if it did NJC, Coeur d'Alene and even lhe great Nonhwest would be getting something really special. Hmm. but now that I chink about it, convenient parking wouldn't be bad either.
