Writing or unspeakable crimes and long unheard or unheeded experience,, a team of Sentinel l?l)Orttn placed 1hc paper second ~t in the nation for editorial leader;hip for a sL~-pan series on domestic violence. ·n,e nt'Wspapcr ru50 won an award that ranked lhcm among the top 12 two-year college papers in the country. Sponsored by the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Collegiate Press, the award wru. given ror "ex· o:llencc in reporting and leadership in the college press." Journalism instructor Nils Rosdahl and four Sentinel students ao::epted the award Sw1day, Nov. 4, at the Associated Collegiate Press Convention in Washington, D.C. The articles dealing with domestic violence were stories or wife abuse, incest, child molestation, date and marital rape and emotional abuse were all by NIC students or cmplorces. Some ,,TQtc or their own experiences: others were assisted or interviewed by the writers. The writers of the articles were Ann 1.eller. Kittie Law, Donna Wood, Karin Lau and Lincuc Freeman. Freeman and Darrel B«hner were editOr5 of the Se111i11el when the Mieles \ l'C!C published last spring. Dave 111ompson did the illustrator for the series. " Initially, our idea was to just write a two-part series on date rape. This was to show that date rape is ~omctimcs so subtle that you don't l"Ven know it has happened 10 you," Lau said.

Bennett irons out plan's problems by Ktn Allen Smtmd Rq,orttr

College President Robert Bcnneu has changed lhe proposed reorganization of the adminis1111tion after listening to m:ommendations from faculty and staff. The change calls for the proposed director of personnel serviccslhwnan resources 10 r'l)Oll tOlhe dean of administration. Benneu said. This move brings Bcnnen's plan fuU circle. When the position was fim proposed, he said this was the reponing relationship he wished for. Since then, decisions 10 have the director rcpon 10 the dean of public relations or 10 Benncu directly have been discussed. In fact, the later reponing relationship was whai Bennett said he had finally opted for before !his new decision was reached. He said the rationale behind the decision dealt with faculty and staff wishes. The majority c.~p~ to him their desire to have the director work under RoUy Jurgens, dean of administration.

"I have no problem with th111 al all," Bennell said. He e.~pressed relief that a final plan ha~ ultimately been decided on and is ready for prescmation 10 lhe board of trustees at its Nov.IS meeting. Rcsponsibilirics of the new director would include developing and recommending personnel policy, ~ting in personnel recruitment, maintaining a college-wide compensation system, mediating employee conflicts, offering developmental programs for professional support staff and promoting a positive work environment, an earlier description of the position stated. The olher aspect of Benneu 's reoganization proposal, lhe creation of a vice-president of instruction position, remains unchanged. The vice-president would be the immediate supervisor of both the dean of vocationaVtcchnical education and the dean of academic affairs as well as all directol'li and coordinators of instructional support departments. The board is expected 10 make a final decision at its December meeting.

Construction of rhe new library-<:omputcr center is back on schedule after lagging three weeks behind. A representative of Shea Consrrucrion, ll1e contractor for the building, assured the college the project is back on schedule after rhe arrival of steel I-beams for the structure. Rolly Jurgens, dean of administration for North Idaho College, said he expects work 10 proceed smoothly. "My concerns (about the progress delay) have been put 10 bed ar this point," Jurgens said. " I feel real good about it." The construction or the building was delayed by simple problems, Jurgens said. For example, some of the I-beams for the building had a hole in the middle of them, rather than at the top where they were supposed ro be, Jurgens said. The delay is " all behind us now," Jurgens said. He said he doesn't foresee any other delays except the weather. The concrete for the foundation has been laid and the steel beams are currently going up. "Things should start moving faster,'' Jurgens said. The construction is a constant process, and each stage needs 10 be tested before further process can continue, he said. Worke~ will continue 10 construct on rhe site once snow falls and should be working on the inside by the bulk of winter, Jurgens said.

"It's a program that I was reluctant to agree with because of the number of students involved. 1 really didn't think it was possible.

Octob.:r's images of blood and gore have be¢n replaced with thoughts of pilgrims and 1urkey, but th~ student go\'crnment hopes that students will 8till have blood on lheir minds during November.

Th.: bloCld drive will be in the Kootenai Room in the Student Union Building. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Hiatt said that the four nurses shouW be

able to draw blood from as many as 20 people l'VCfY 30 minutcS, so dono~ should not need 10 mo.kc an appointment or wait long. Thr blood bank will need 1hree volumt~rs tl'cry hour during the blood drive 10 regis1er donors and ~ist our~. Hiott said. According 10 Hiatt, ASNIC \\~ll award SSO 10 the NIC club that dona1es the most blood. Hiatt said that club members may recruit friends and family members 10 donate in their dub's nllmc. The t.'Ollcgc has been involved with the blood drive for nl ll'ast l l years, Dean Benneu, S1udent activities dircl:tor, said. Bennett said that l'adt year 100-125 donate blood.

"It doesn't takl' much 1imc 10 provide a good service to other people," Betuictt said. "ll's a life necessity ond the blood bank is always m no.-d of blood." Katl1y Robl.>rtS, a medkal tC('hnician at Kootenai Medical Center, said that many people are opprchensive about giving blood ror the frrst time, but that it is n simple proces-s. Roberts said that a donor $hould c>.1)«1 to fiU out some basic paperwork about his or her health background. A nurse tlicn "pokes'' the donor's finger and takes a drop of blood for testing to determine if the person is healthy enough lo donate. The actual blood-drawing process is quick and relatively painless. Roberts said.

The donor lies on a table and a nurse 111ser~ a netd1e into h1\ or her ann. The blood bas is :mad1cd to lhc necdlc and filh in a fow minutes. "Oiving blood involve<. very little pain," Roberts said.

ISL policy change is unconstitutional The even! is an Idaho Student Lobby meeting. The place is Twin Falls, on the College of Southern Idaho Campus. The date is Oct. 15, 1990. However, the attitudes or some or the students present, date back to the early 1960s. In the early '60s, black people were forced to ride in the back of the bus. At the [SL meeting it was two-year colleges that were forced 10 take the back seat to fouryear schools by being denied the right to vote in the lobby. This prejudiced policy change was voted into existence after being proposed by student representatives from the University of Idaho and Idaho State University. According Lo Charlette Persnell, a senator from LewisClark State College and one of the driving forces behind the [SL, the policy change being voted in was a victim of circumstance. According to Persnell, although LCSC opposed the change, only three schools were present to vote. North Idaho College and Boise State University representatives were not present. As a result LCSC was out-voted and two-year schools were denied their right of equal representation. The future is looking brighter. The next ISL meeting is set for

Saturday, Nov. 17, at BSU, and the decision should be overturned. Eric Love, the BSU student president, is 100 percent behind NlC being a voting member of the ISL. A second factor is that NIC will have two reprsentatives at Saturday's meeting-student President Colleen Evans and sophomore Senator Rich Bakes. The most amazing thing about this policy change is its shortsightedness. First, it is unconstitutional. Second, most community college students are future university students so the rights the fouryear schools take away may one day be their own. Third, the legislators the students are trying to lobby also represent North Idaho. Two of the more innuential North Idaho senators are Denny Davis, a member of the Permanent Building Fund Council, and Mary Lou Reed, a probable member of U1e Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee. Both of these legislative comiltees are importan1 to college students state-wide. The probable outcome of Saturday's meeting is unknown, but perhaps an educated decision can be made. The editorial is written by the £x. ecu1ive Editor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Club column unfunny Editor: We are writing this leuer in response 10 a column by Bobby Hammond in your Nov. I edition of the Sentinel regarding the Coffee Club. As much as we appreciate the privilege of Freedom of the Press, we do not condone those who abuse it. Mr. Hammond's article has not only sensationalized the ''Fourth Estate," but has also provided information to the North Idaho College student body that is erroneous and ill·conceived at best. The petition posted outside the SUB was designed and created by the under· signed after careful considcralion. Had Mr. Hammond taken the time to read 1hc petition he would have realized 1he purpose for establishing the Coffee Club and would not have published such an article. His article is not based on fact, but simply an example of yellow journalism. How could such a highly regarded publication expose the student body to such ramblings? The purpose in establishing the Coffee Club is 10 provide, to the students and staff of NIC, the opportunity to receive coffee month 10 month on a fee basis 10 be detennined by the director or the NlC Cafeteria. The petition, prior 10 Posting, was reviewed and approved by him. It is a.s simple as that. It is not a politically oriented organization or radical vigilantes as Mr. Hammond's conumn implies. Mr. Hammond's article states: "The first meeting of the Coffee Club was an informal affair, with the choosing of officers and club policies ad,journcd until a later date." "The next meeting began well enough, with ... " As co-authors of the petition we would appreciate being advised when and where these meetings took place as we are totally unaware of their existence. Mr. Hammond's eye-catching article further ridicules the intent o f the Coffee Club by ils ill-fated auempt at humor. Come on, Mr. Hammond, let's SLart writing responsible and reliable columns. There is no need to insult the student body with your 1hird grade comics. It is our opinion that Mr. Hammond's time can be better utilized researching more valid and vital issues instead of fabricating unsubstantiated and invalid gossip. In closing this leuer, we request an immediate retraction and apology or our only other alternative is 10 take advantage of our right to free speech by Posting copies of lhis leuer on numerous bulletin boards throughout NIC.

Creationism should be taught patricia snyder Educational censorship seems to have become the standard in many science classrooms. I am referring to the blatant disregard of facts when it comes to the issue of teaching creationism. While thousands of students are being duped into believing that evolution is the only valid theory to explain human existence, anti-religious activists are fighting against the student's right to receive an unveiled education. Society's fear of and opposition to anything that could be connected to a religion cloud its willingness to allow a valid theory of origins to be taught in schools. For those who might argue that creation is not a valid scientific theory compared to evolution, I would question both their knowledge of evolution and their knowledge of creationism. The facts can speak for themselves. Creation is a valid theory. It bothers me that it isn't being taught. The beauty and complexity

of the ecosystem, the way animals and plants interact, as if they were designed to be together, makes me wonder how anyone could dream that it was all a product of chance. The amazing and wonderful way that the human body works sometimes astonishes me. It is a wonderful example of creative process. Creative process can be seen in comparing an arrowhead to a pebble. The arrowhead can be identified by the work done on it to create a tool for a specific purpose. Lt shows definite shape and identifiable uses. A pebble may represent the evolutionist's organism, showing the effects of adapting to its environment of wind and water. It has no identifiable purpose, no planned shape. People, however, do show specific shape and specific purpose. It is ludicrous to believe that chance could have evolved a human being, when the concentrated intelligence of people cannot even fu lly understand the body's complexity, let alone match it in a product. Further evidences exist, such as the missing link between ape and man that has never been found, but this is hardly the place to discuss them. They need to be discussed in the classroom, which can't be done right now, because the only one that is available to do this is a minister, unless students wish to enroll in a religious college.

I'm n_ot s~ying !hat evolution should not be taught, 111 splle of as problems. I do believe that it should be addressed truthfully, though. One meth~d of doing that is through the teaching of creation. The argument that it is connected to religion is not a legitimate excuse to keep it from the classrooms. In the pursuit of scientific reality, in the desire to know what acwally happened, all alternatives must be considered. Thal includes those alternatives that may be offensive yet are valid. I am no creation science expert. In fact, I can't even study it in school because, 10 my knowledge, there are no classes offered at NIC where creationism is taugh1scientifically. That, of itself, is an act of great educational discrimination. I do know, however, that creation is a valid theory, because I was introduced to it outside of school. Those who haven't been taught about creation, scientifically, have only received half of the truth, if that. People have a right to know the facts. l feel that the creation theory should be offered as a science class, taught from a scientific point of view, not from 1hc view of a specific religion. People have the sacred right to choose. Yet, they cannot choose wisely if all the facts aren't presented. This is what should happen. Any less would be an insult 10 academic integrity.

Clo~ed library restricts students ken a/Jen

Why is it that libraries are closed on Sundays? I'm not just talking about public libraries. How about school libaries? Why, on one of the days when a student could really do hours and hours of research withou1 having 10 deal with other classes-external noise, I like to call it-do we find the doors locked and a ck• ed sign stuck to the window? . If 'f ,u could guess at an answer to this perplexmg Qt. ·stion, what would it be? . F~ of terrorist activity- you know, bombing, n~11ng, name-calling, having your house to1Jetpapcred- from those with militant views concerning work on 1he sabbath? Bad guess. ~eligious Americans, unlike some of our more Middle Ea~tem religious fanatics, aren't prone to lust ~or mindless violence, excluding, of course, hunung, pro football or those christian Aryans. A more feasible answer, and coincidentally, the

correct one, is money, or a lack of it. According 10 North Idaho College Director of Libra ry Services Mary Carr, 3.45 percem of the college budget goes toward the library, but she said the minimum should be 5 percent. This is 5 percent of like $13 million or so. The reason Carr needs more money deals with librarian-power problems. currently, Carr said we have four card-carrying librarians and 4. 75 paraprofessionals, part-time employees, at NlC. The librarians work 60-75 hours a week. Even though their time is stretched so thin, the NIC librarians manage to outdo Idaho's other community college, thr. College of Southern Idaho. With only 83 percent of the staff that CSI has, our college is open longer hours. Carr said she thinks having a true librarian available to students during all hours the library is open is important. Without the much-needed assistance, the library would be more like a study hall than an information center. That destroys the easiest ~olution to the closed Sunday problem, which is flood the library with enough work-study students to give the other librarians a break. I! would have also supplied the administration with relatively cheap labor. But , as Carr points out, this would be like offering a class and picking an attending student to

teach ii. Obviously what's needed is more Librarians. That means more money to the library. If it means an open library on Sunday, I say the administra· tion should give the cash 10 Carr. Fortunately for students on campus, that decision must be made by administrators. Por although 1hc library woes we've suffered in lhc past have threatened the college with a loss of accreditation, if I had direct access to the college purse strings, we would never gradua1e. Noise ordinance, public drunkenness and indecent exposure laws notwithstanding, the son of controlled youth riot I'd instigate by turning the soccer field into an open air concert stage, wi1h BYOB as an admission fee, wouldn't lend itself 10 the 1raditional tranquili1y found on this nation's co!Jege campuses at 3 a.m. Although we as students don't have access 10 the bucks, we do have an indirect control over administrators. If enough students got behind an idea, Lhe leaders of the college couldn'1 do anything but grant the students' wishes. While the NIC library isn't open on Sunday, others al local colleges are. This fact puts us students at a marked disadvantage. To funher complicate any chances of Sunday

H umble pie isn'1 the best-tasting food for thought. Everyone eats il someiimes, newspaper writers more often 1han most peop!~· The editorial in 1he last Sentinel lamented that NIC employees are paid 35 to 45 percent of what is paid at comparable institutions." The editor should have copied the information from her own Page I news article, which stated that "NIC salaries compare al the 35th to 45th percentile of the competitive market." Eiiher way, it's stimulating to know the paper is read. A faculty member objected 10 what she called Sentinel insinuations that quality of 1he instructors may correlate to the amount of pay provided. This sensitivity is a necessary ingredient in education. The Sentinel's intent is that competctive salaries provide insurance for the retention of quality instructors.

The

mad screener has struck again! Two weeks ago a Choke Cherry fan reported on the bosom cover-up of Susan Sarandan in a Spokesman-Review movie ad, with the result leaving more to the reader's sexual imagination than the original photo had. This week the Spokesman used a piece of sloppily cut screen to cover a woman's bouom in a photo that previously showed more in an ad for Spokane Fitness. Shame. In the same issue (Sunday), the Spokesman ran the headline, '' IRS says it killed four men." The headlfoe should have said, " IRA says it killed four men," meaning the Irish Republican Army. If the Spokesman wasn't worried about tax problems, it should be now.

W riting about toilet paper is always touchy, but since Choke Cherries had reports from two sources, here goes. A caller complained about the T. P. dispensers in Lee Hall, saying that 1he one-sheet-at-a-time giveaway jus1 doesn't perform a sufficient job for the need. And often the papers get stuffed up inside the dispenser and can'l be pulled out. The caller might have really been miffed had she known that the dispensers in the NIC President's bathroom use REAL ROLL-STYLE PAPER. Even so, a spokesman from this men's room complained that too often the rolls are inserted in the manner that the paper comes from the bottom (a pun?) rather than being presented properly from the top. This is too profound for even us.

U pon returning from Washington, D.C. , last week, travel-weary Sentinel representatives who picked up the national award (See story on Page I) were greeted at Spokane Airport by shouting, bright lights and people shoving metal into the travelers' faces. The greeters actually were other Sentinel folk, pretendi ng to be TV newsmen with flashlights, a box (camera) with a toilet paper roll attached for a lens, and the microphone was a huge, chrome ladle. The newsmen discovered how obnoxious newsmen can be.

Leaming how to use condoms is not the normal noontime acti~ty expected a1 Nonh Idaho College, but that is what students who auended the AIDS Awareness forum did on Oct. 31 in the Bonner Room or the Student Union Building. "Put a Condom on Your Pumpkin" blazed on a red and orange banner behind Linda Poulsen. coordinator of Student Health Services, as she began the forum. "Aids is a preventable disease," Poulsen said. "Each of us has lhe resp0nsibility to prevent it.' Poulsen announced three ways AfDS was going 10 be discussed: transmission, effect of drugs and safe sex. Nurse Epidemiologist for Panhandle Health, Jan Schwanz, said l 50,000 people have been diagnosed with AIDS, three times more than died in Vietnam. Fourteen have tested p0sitivc in this county, Schwanz said. "You rcally have to work hard to get this disease," Schwanz; said. " It isn't from casual conU1ct." Schwanz said AIDS is tran.m\ltted by fear and ignorance. She e,plained AIDS can only be spread

"This is it! This is AIDS, and it is here and you are responsible, said NIC counselor Bob Newell as he began his ponion of the forum. Newell had slUdcnts do several routines to show that humans are creatures of habit. "Which way do you face when you get on the elevator?'' Ncwcu asked. ''Did you ever consider facing another way or commenting what a riot it would be ir it {the elevator) stopped between floors? "The sign is not the road, the word shit docs 001 smell and ' I'm clean honey, you're the first one' isn't good AIDS prevention," Newell said. He continued by saying students should rethink their values and make a decision with their heads as well as with thtir hearts. "All of us have different values," Newell said. "Make your decision ahead of time." "Protect yourself; use condoms," Poulsen said. Two out of every thousand students 1es1 pesitive for AIDS, Poulsen said. "Are you willing to play with those odds?"

Telemedia goes on with the show after courses wrap up by Shawnd'rae Johnston Senr,nt/ Rtporttr

The radio/television program at Nonh Idaho College was cut last semester as a resuh of an evaluation made by fonner Academic Dean, Dennis Conners. and the curriculum council. Classes such as introduction to T. V. production, NlC Forum production and introduction to broadcasting are no longer offered as classes. For the 19th season of Forum, the television program produced by NIC, s111dents are now recruited and paid to work on the crew. Workshops and specialized instruction are given to familiarize the students with 1he equipment and procedures. "The main goal was to keep Forum in production,'' said Darrin Otency, new adviser to 1he tclcmedia depanmcnt. "TI1erc is no fonnalized ins1ruction. but we can guide students through work-study and Forum." Although the classes arc discontinued. the 1elcmedio department is still very busy working on updating its present system. Cheney stated tha1 one or the projects includes upgrading the satellite system. S1udcnts now have 1hc chance to view programs recorded for 1he library 10 ~upplemen1 their current classroom inslruetion, and fac\llty can use these programs in add it ion to class discussions. Also included in the cffon 10 bring NIC tclcmedia up to da1c is a microwave ~yMem. Cheney explruned the new point-10-pomt ,mtcwidc s~tem wi1h links to University of Idaho. Lewis and Clar!. and Boise S1nt~. "Anywhere along 1hat choin. you cnn ei1hcr -.:nd or receive pic1ures and sou nd."

For 1hc first time, this spring UI will roo:ive two courses adually taught in the NlC production facility. Cheney added, ''We're going to be using this 1echnology in a somcwha1 limited fonn until the new facility is built; the new libra.ry will have a telecommunications classroom." Cheney mentioned 1he confusion in unders1anding the purpose of the telccommunicatioris classroom comes from the assumption tha1 i1 will jus1 benefit UI or LCSC. NIC benefits because the new classroom will allow different college cllwes to communicate with one another via 1he system, and students can take a class they may not be able to take through NIC. Another benefit ii will provide is teleconferencing. This wi11 give NlC the ability to communicate immediately with otl1cr geographic regions hool-cd up. The possibility for a Popcorn Forum to be able 10 access 1his system and send the vidco1aped speech to other schoob is also in 1he near future. For ~pring s.:mcs1er, the telecommunications department will be assembling video l'qllipmcnt in the academic dnssroorns. The cquipm~nt will include overhead projecto~. VCRs and TV monitor1, and some room$ without screens will have them sci up. A new assistant. Lindy Turner, will be onboard Nov. 21 to help~ tl1c r~pon1ibili1ics of the other media Maff.

"When we speak up, \\C're called radicals." According 10 a recent report from the AssociaK'd Press. the House Government Operating Cornrniuee concluded that White House officials during the Reagan administration "controlled and obstructe<l" a federal study of Agent Orange exposure among Viet· nam veterans. "The White House compromised the independence of the Center of Disease Control and . und~ined the study by controlling crucial decisions and guiding the course of research, at the same time it had seemly taken a legal position 10 resist demands 10 compensate victims of Agent Orange." the report said. . " If politicians will not stand up for the nghts of \'Cterans, then they will not stand up

for the rights of tl1e over-iaxed middle income class, the poor, or the senior citizens," Kinsey said, "Now it is time foraU 10 stand up and be counted.'' Kinsey says that since he began his mission the Veterans Administration has raised his benefits from S76 to SI,076 per month. Kinsey is scheduled to arrive back in Coeur d'Alene Nov. 17 and will be honored by area veterans during a parade down Sherman Avenue at noon. He is planning 10 enroll at Nonh Idaho College next semester and hop.:s to become a history 1cacher someday. " He will need someone to help him find his way around the campus, " said his wife, JiU, during a recent telelphone interview. "I run very proud of him," she said. "You wouldn't believe the phone calls that I've gotten from aU over the nation. He has taken a positive step 1oward uniting ve1erans cvc.-rywhcre and has brought the issue to the aucntion or the public."

Two years and $25,600 after i1 began, the improvement of the physics labora1ory is now complete. "The improvement is tenfold," said physics instructor Lloyd Marsh about !he n,:w physics lab instrumentation. Marsh said lhe lab equipment was purchased over a two-year period 10 replace the exisling 40-year-0ld ins1r11mcnts. Using the new equipment, Marsh demonstrated that many types of physics problems can be done by students in a fraction of !he time ii would take !hem to do lhe problems on paper. Also, 1hrough computer interfacing with the equipment, studetits get the chance to see the results of their work dC\'clop on computer screens. Marsh said that computer interfacing is the biggCSI improvemeo1 in the instrumentation update. Marsh said lha1 all of this nC\v equipmem adds up to a medium which s1udents can use 10 cut e.~1ensive paperwork and to help 1hem grasp the true concepts . Marsh said tl1at much of !his new instrumcnta1ion has already been available at

Now !hat Nonh Idaho College has this equipment, students will be able to 1ransfcr to a university with high-tceh instrullll'nta1ion e x ~ already under their belts.

New course will explore humanities by Linda Stevens S<111111rl Rtporttr

People hB\'e heard of a Conehead and an Eraserhcad-and now s1uden~ during the spring scmes1cr at Nonh Idaho College will be hearing about "Flamehead." Flamchead is the nickname given by mcmbers of the Humanities Network 10 the logo for the new Humanities 101 class thai will begin this spring. Evcl)'thing about Flamchead is suppOSed to represent what the class is about. The names shooting out of his head represent 1he excitement 1ha1 all of 1he instructors involved in the Humanities Network feel aboul this new class; it will represent the excitcmem students will feel during and after the class, instructors hope. The various forms of communication found all over Flamchead's upper body, according 10 Lisa Lynes, NIC an teacher and a future instructor of the new humanities class, are representative or \•arious ways that communication will mkc place in the class. Students involved in the Humanities IOI class, "Mon1age; Introduction to the

Humanities," will learn that every piece of work is inviting them into a conversation. According to Len Mattei, the learners (students and instructor) and creators (artists. architect.~ and authors) will <fucuss their ideas. Instructors involved in the Humanities Network are very excited about the new Humanities class and hope that many students take the opportunity to get involved \vith it. According to Judith Sylte, "If students don't know what the humanities are, this is a good place 10 find out." The instructors of the three humanities classes for the spring semester will be Mattei, Lynes and Pat Lippert. All the instructors said they want to assure the apprehensive students 1hat the instructors will be learning about the various aspectS of 1he humanities right along 11~th them. In fact, the instructors were part of 22 instructors from NIC who took pan in the training for the new humanities class this summer. It was in this seminar that the instructors played the role of students, required to study in areas that were not in their usual

field of interest and write two research papers. These papers, tilled "An Augus1 Conversation," from all 22 ins1ructors can be round in the NIC library. A 1extbook won't be needed for this class; the creative works studied will be the only 1extbook used. These will include films, pho1os, paintings, poems, short stories, music, live and filmed drama productions, essays, recorded speeches and other various aspects of 1he humanities. There will also be field trips around the Coeur d'Alene area and one into Spokane, as well as other activities outside the classroom. According to Syhe, there will not just be an emphasis on the old and familiar. l11ere will be a commitment in dealing with regional and local works, works from various cultures as well as works that cross gender expectations. In other words, ao:ording 10 Lippert, ''We won't just be studying a bunch of dead while guys." The desire of the instructors, and members

he American military troops Sta· tioned in Saudi Arabia wiU have lheir sweet toolhs satified !hanks 10 a cookie-baking project that lhc North Idaho CoUegc culinary ans dcparunent and olher a.rea groups arc participating in. The Area Agency on Aging culinary ans instructor Rick Schultz wanted 10 see if his c~ would be interested in sending balced goods to !he troops, Schultz said. "When I sJ)Oke to lhe students, of course they were real excited about it " Schultz said. ' Thinking it would be a good c~ exer· cise, the c~ made plans 10 make a variety of cookies made from different donated products and enlisted the help of other NIC groups such as the cafeteria staff, who gave food service cans for packaging the cookies. The c~ also ~de J)Opcom 10 use as packing material tnstcad of sheets of plastic bubbles or styrofoam balls. The students, who include Andria Kaminski, Lyneue McK«n, Linda Sanchez, Philip Anis, Mark Ford, Glenn Hopkins and John Bochner, then wrote a group letter to the troops, telling them about lhe project and their class and also described their personalities a liute bit so the troops could get a glimpse of what they were like. "The students told them that they were a little bit confused on why they were over there and wondered if the service ~pie were confused as wcU," Schultz said. The students gave the troops words of encouragement and told them 'thank you' for being in Saudi Arabia. They also sent the troops NIC's address in case anyone wanted a pen pal. Red Cross sent the products out Nov. 2. Schultz sa.id they sent over about 60-70 dO'LCn cookies alone and that he thought they would probably receive thank you cards. Schult.z thinks the project's pu~ is 10 let the troops know people think about them. "The whole idea was that someone took the time 10 do rut that and let them know they arc not forgoncn so far away." Schultz said. The studcnrs all had similar Lhoughts about this, too. " I jus1 wanted 10 support the guys over there," Ford said. "They pr~babl5• haven't heard from home in a while, so we sent them something from home." One student said that it was just a small way to show their appreciation for w~at the troops are doing and another said that they are doing what is best for the country and wanted 10 wish them luck. "! do~'t want them 10 feel like they did m Vietnam, where they went over and came back and everybody just_ forgot

Margie Browning, manager of the in· f~rmation and referral program and coor· dmator of the cookie project, said iL started about four years ago. The Senior Center decided LO par1icipa1e in the project 1>e:3usc lhe could send baked goods Lo scrvJCC personnel who arc away from home. "It resulted as a request to Gov. Cecil Andrus from (servicemen in) Korea " Browning said. "They started it (in' SouLhem Idaho) and it has just grown." In mid-August Browning was asked 10 gear-up for another cookie shipment. After gelling the process started, news came about the project's canoelation. The Idaho Air National Guard who had faci)itated the shipment berore, couldn't do II they could only ship troops and equipment, not cookies. "Ev~body canceled except our area," Brownmg said. "We decided 10 see if we couldn't go ahead and get it done, because we alrtady had such a U'Cmcndous response." ~fter making a few phone calls, 1.hey decided 10 call Fairchild Air Force Base 10 see what they could do. Thal was Oct. 2A and on the following Monday, Fairchild AFB caUed back 10 say that they would facilitate shipping through lhc Washington Air National Guard. "Mike Wolfe drove us over, he pulled some suings and g01 us nn NIC van and he drove me over with all the cookies " Browning said. They pu1 them on a ~lane that day and were assured the cookies were flying direct. Browning thinks Lhat Red Cross and Idaho Air Naional Guard coordinated with the Red Cross through a chaplain in Saudia Arabia who wiU take care of delivering the shipment 10 the troops. Browning said the shipment would be SJ)Ot-checked and they can only truSI that the shipment will be delivered 10 lhe troops. Sabotage is one problem Browning said they had 10 be careful about. "Many big things were being destroyed because they couldn't truSt what was in Lhem," Brown· Ing said.

The Red Cross is taking donations 10 help pay for the postage. articipants in the cookie project also include most Senior Centers in Idaho's five northern counties, most high school home economics classes, 4-H and scout groups.

hether it's colorful blotches of paint smeared across a piece of wood or multkolorcd torn tissue paper glued with starch onto a sheet of white paper, children aucnding North Idaho CoUege's 01ild Development Center have a multiwde of ways of expressing themselves through art. 1l1e center's children will be presenting their own original artwork in the Union Gallery's fifth annual Children's Show Dec. 4-19. Their anwork ranges from pine needle art, which uses pine needles as paint brushes), to bubble painting, where tempera paint and dish soap are mixed to create bubble art. The children's actual work could be any1hing, any color, any texture and any way they want 10 make it, said Carol Lindsey, instructor of child development and director of the Children's Center for live years. Lindsay said in the center, they "stress process, not product," and the rcsull.'. from this free. open-<:nded fom1 usually yield amazingly beautiful colors. ''Adults arc always so surprised at the children's beautiful use of colors." Lindsay said. She e;~plained that children ages 2 Vi -4 don '1 have sense of representation and therefore have no confinement in their art. "They are comple1ely free,'' Lindsay said. Kristin Bryant, NIC preschool teacher, explained that the children are not taught specilics and "how-to's" in art time. "We just let them go!" she said. Bryant said they don't make things adull-<>riented and the children are only expected to be themselves and make their own creations. Lindsay and Bryant agreed 1ha1 this free art time ac· tually self teaches the children many other valuable skills. They said ii implies rme motor skills (using their

Many of the Yas1 amount of an ideas Bryant has brought 10 the center come from workshops by nationally known child specialist Bev Bos. Bryant said they could do four different art projects each day for a whole semester without repeating any. "The children's art show is really worth seeing,'' Lindsay said. She explained that many adults think or children's art as primitive but it's just that children don't ha.ve any limitations 10 hold them back as adults do. Lindsay said anyone is welcome 10 the opening ceremony Dec. 4 from 6-8 p.m. She said it's worth seeing the children's pridc-lillcd faces and proud and admiring families as well as the refreshing anwork of 2Vi-5-year-<>ld children. The galle.ry is open weekdays from noon-o p.m. and admission is free.

Set in the year 2084. this murdcrou~ Arnold Sch\\arzeneggcr nick is one nonstop, rampaging shoot-'cm-up. Director Paul ("Robocop'') Verhoeven creates a world of ultratech mayhem. ci,1ablished violence and quick death. Although a Schwarzenegger movie. which is synonymous wi1h ac1ion, this mo,~e has a rrue plot-or. more acc\lratcly several plots that are all intertwined. The first plot, 1hc one 1ha1 intrigued me most. is that of Schwar,.cncggcr's heroic character, Quaid, and his intcmal conflict wilh the evil altcrcgo, Hau~r. The second plol line deals with 1he effons of a rebellious faction aitcmp1ing 10 frtt Mars of hs dictatorial stranglehold. And thirdly, the discovery of eons.old Mar1ian relics nnd their po~ible effects on lhe hos1ile Mnnian environmc111.

Definitely not a movie for kids or for the soft-hearted, this film has some truly shocking stuff in it. But what I found to be mos1 shocking is 1hc concep1 or a society in which such savagery is not only expected but somehow aa:ep1able. And, tellingly, I alm~t had the reeling 1hai 1hc bullet-shredded actors aren't going 10 get up after the scene il. ovrr.

Chinese 'chow mein'lyCantonsatisfies tummies Restaurant Chinese Gardens

by Ptlrlcla Snyder Sftltmd Rtporttr

For those who enjoy good Chinese food, good service and a relaxing atmosphere, 1he Chinese Gardens is the place to go. My S5.50 combination dinner was in the middle price range and included a bowl of soup. a pol of tea, generous portions of pork chow mcin, almond chicken and fried rice, four strips or barbequcd pork and a fortune cookie. 1 entered and was seated promptly by a gentleman who pulled ou1 my chair for me. While waiting to order, I absorbed the atmosphere. The temperature was comfonablc. the 1ea was ckan. A faint smell of good cooking drifted through the air, and Otincsc music and hanging lamps added to the mood. 111c delicious water was a foreshadowing 10 my mc-.il. During the time I was there, I 5aw one coffee and three water refiU trips. I found the waitress to be very couneous and friendly as well as skillfuU. Vacated tables were efficiently and promplty cleared and cleaned. The soup and tea were brought at the same

time. Although I do not care ror egg, which w3.l, among the ingredients of the soup, 1 round it 10 be very good. The tea ,va.s slight· ly tanic, but that was corrected wi1h the use of a tittle swee1cner. Both sugar and Sweet N' Low were offered. The pork chow mcin included celery, onion, noodles, grttn onion and pork navoring. The flwor or the onions \\'a5 very enhanced and savory ,1~1hou1 the distraction of being hot. The almond chicken was pleasantly crispy. although a few pieces were slightly tough. l11e fried rice had a good consistency and llavor. The barbequed pork was served with hol mustard and sesame seeds. It was of a choice cu1, not veined with fat like some barbequcd pork. The barbeque llavor was noticeable but not overpowering. The fortune cookie was 1101 o,•crdonc or underdone. Overall, the meal was weU-preparcd and pleasing. I did discover that the women's bathroom was out of 1oilet 1issuc and paper towels; it also needed to be cl~. 1 didn'1 check the men's bathroom. A personal conclusion: go to the Otinese Gardens for quality food, a rcla!Cing atmosphere and c.~ceUent service; just don't go to the bathroom.

In a quiet, little restaurant on Founh Street, I was figuratively left with egg foo young on my face. The Canton Restaurant, located 11 3 N. Fourth St., Coeur d'Alene, offers a variety or food including Otinesc, Cantonese, Mandarin, Huna,, Suchuan and American. The owners rc:t'y want people 10 know they serve American "Uisine-it is painted on the window and displayed throughout the menu and the establishment. Perhaps it adds a sense or familiarity, but I don't want 10 eat hamburgers when I go to a Chinese Rcstauranl. I had earlier ceased my friend about eating in a restaurant alone, saying that it was pathetic, but due 10 prior engagements, I was uncsconed. Before, when I had gone out to eai, I never really concerned myself with the atmosphere. Usually I am too engros.scd in the conversation with my guest 10 absorb any of the surrounding.s. This time, however, with nothing to do, I looked around. Several colorful oriental lights and painting.s decorated the room.

My lack of cultural awarcn~ surfaced when I, embarnwed, had to as.k 1he waitrcs.s what the pictures meant. The pa1111ini) contained Chinese character~. but I didn't have a clue as 10 what they said. The waitress ad· mittcd she didn't know either, but "~I in tl1C kitchen to ask. She was 101d the four pictures on the north wall represent the four seasons. It's sad !hat "'e tend to expect other culturci; to learn our language but then do nothing about learning theirs. All of this contemplating left me with a voracious appeti1c. The menu contained mostly dinners wi1h different combinations or rood. Since these combination dinners always scent 10 be serv· ed with fried rice, and I hate rice, I created my own combination dinner by ordering side dishes. I ordered egg flour 50UP, egg roo young, egg rolls and s-, ect and sour ch~k~ balls, all for under S8. My only complain1 .is the egg nour soup had to0 much pepper in it for my taste. For a comfortable orien1al atmosphere and spicy soup give the Canton Restaurant~ try. At least now you can impress your _fn~ with your knowledge or Chinese prunungs. Don't worry-nobody will tell them how you knew.

Censorship experienced by writing offensive B.S. kevin "nuanda" brown " Kevin, we're not going to run your column." That was the last thing I wanted to hear on a Monday-the first Monday on record when everything seemed to be going OK. Just when I had started to believe that all the vast powers or the universe 111ere11 't actually arrayed against me, I come in and hear this! My previous auempt at a column contained acertain controversial word. Seven or eight times. It was actually pretty runny, and it did have a considerable amount or shock value-but those were far from redeeming traits. Monday night, the editors-with me hanging around, looking slightly hysterical- had a lively debate about the pros and cons of running the orrensive column as is. It then occurred to me that censorship is not a simple, clear-cut issue. There were so many things I hadn't considered when I , admittedly, set out to see just what I could get away with (I always like to know exactly where

the line is drawn so that I can inch ever so close to it and pull back innocently when I become too obvious). For one, companies advertising in the Senti11el could pull their ads in response to my blatant attempt at printing profanity in this rine student publication. Two: my column would definitely have called down the wrath or administration and cut off every desperately needed penny we get. Not to mention, it would put a certain ad,•iser's head on the chopping block (I promised not 10 put Nils' name in this column). Three: a large portion or the college and community is rundamentalist. While I have no compunctions about offending a right-winger or two, I do fear offending several hundred. The effect or upsetting such people would mean a storm or angry letters and possibly a firebomb planted outside our door. What other effects could have resulted? Well, by golly, I'll tell you! First off, 1'11 be called up in front of a Congressional committee. Sly lawyers will tear me apart in cross-examination.

Volleyball season ends; team next season looks 'promising' by Brian Walke,

Volleyball cooch Bret Taylor has eight big reasons why he is liking what he secs in the ruture of his team. The Cardin~ ,viU rctum eight players, se...eral of which saw an abundance of court time and even Starting roles, for ilS 1991 team. " I'm very high on our returners," Taylor said. " We've got o good core coming back. By the end of the season, they'd imp.roved a lot." Five splkcrs saw their last action as Car· dinals this season. Ouisidc hitters Gena Oldham, Dana DotSOn and Dec Dec Voliva will be mis.'ied, Taylor said. Kathy Northway (broken ankle) and Sunny Blades (disciplinary reasons) were forced to exit the season early. Though the I ~ or Northway and Blades wen: felt, the players that filled in "did a good job,'' Taylor said. " I hope they (sophomores) can go oui and use what they've learned from here," the coach said. NJC ended its season Nov. 3 al home against CSI (losing 15-13, 15·2, 15-13) wil.h a respectable 22-16 record, 2-4 in Saric West play. The Cards improved from 15-21 a year ago. Paula Hooper had 6 kills and 7 bloclcs to

lead the Cardinals' mwck in the CSI game. Doison added 13 digs, 5 kills and 4 blocks. Oldham had 10 dig_\ and 5 kills. With the win, CSI won the regular $Ca50n North tille and hosted the SWAC Touma· ment in 1\,•in Falls last weekend. Taylor said I.his season was one of I.he best during his five years at NlC. Winning the Blue Mountain Tournament for the third straight year may have helped boost this season to I.he top. "The team was running a far more complex offense than it has in the past," Taylor said. " We were Stronger at the net and had good blocking." Along \\ith Hooper, Hilary Dowling, Michelle~. Elizabelh Krop;dlek. Kristi Rau, Deanne Palmer, Bridgett Hammer and Beth Raynor (red.shirt) arc cxpc.md to remm to the squad's lineup. "We've got people that can play at the net, but we'll have to work on our passing this spring." The team will pump iron and practice jump training this spring as well, Taylor said.

George Michael's buttocks not an issue brian walker George Michael and faith seem 10 go hand in hand. While I attended the Associated Collegiate Press National Convention in Washington, D.C., a couple of weeks ago, I didn't hesitate to allend Michael's featured presentation. For what it's worth, it was the George Michael who hosts the syndicated weekly show, "The George Michael Sports Machine," which presents highlights of sports action throughou t the world on more than 100 stations. It would take more than George Michael's (the singer, I guess) "Faith'' and force for me 10 show up at one of his concerts. Michael spoke on the faith he has for his staff of the ''Sports Machine." For the most part,

Michael is an outgoing man wbo isn't afraid to speak what he really thinks. That alone makes him unique. To go a step further, he spoke in front of about 100 journalists. Mr. Michael's dedication to his career is how he got to where he is. In 1980, he covered the New York Islanders. Then NBC hunted him down and wanted him to start a new program. He went for it despite a $42,000-a-year pay cut. Being on his own would give him more abilities 10 do what he wan ted. Pleasing everyone with his show is virtually impossible, however. " I get most of my letters for not showing enough bowling," Michael said. He suggested the best way for college students to get into broadcasting, or any occupation that offers them, is through internships. It's a good 1ime 10 show what you know and care about what you're doing. He said he hired his entire staff through internships. So, hop to it. "There's three kinds of people," Michael said. "The kind that watch things happen. The kind that make thi ngs happen. And the kind that asks, 'What the hell happened?"' Michael mastered the use of satellites for

gathering videotaped highlights with his "Sports Machine," which is owned by NBC. He is also the sports director of NBC's aftiliate WRC-TV. His shows has won several Emmy Awards from the Washington chapter of National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. His "Go out and get it because it won't come 10 you" attitude describes what one mus1 be to be a step ahead in today's society. He was admired by myself-and an autograph showed it.

•••••••••• Northern Idaho College. Ugh. Puke. Gag. The title shouldn't even exist. Give me a break. I continuously see this either printed in a magazine, a book or even hear it spoken. That's something like Northern Carolina or Western Germany. If it was supposed 10 be that way, it wouldn't be so bad. FOR YOU R INFORM ATION, IT'S NORTH IOAHO COLLEGE, YOU CREEPS! What even further irks me is that I saw 1he name in the Ricks student newspaper, the Scroll. You'd think they'd have some kind of clue since it's in Idaho and in NORTH IDAHO COL· LEGE'S conference in athletics.

Do you think Mike Tyson can regain the heavyweight title?

Sharon C11w1lltect.lOlogy menagement No, becaulc he'~ too scxnt.

Susan Weller-Engllah: I suppose so, btcause he did il once. If he's not corrupted by wealth and all 1be alien· lion, ii seems 10 me be can do it again.

NIC denied ISL vote by Lesll• Biggar St111tntl RtpOlttt

NIC will ollkially join Universi1y of Idaho, Lewis-Clark State College, Boise State University and Idaho State UnivCl1iily as the colleges Oun make up the Idaho Student Lobby. According to NIC student government adviser Tony Stewart, there will be a meeting Nov. 17, to change the policy, so that NIC will become a voting member of the Idaho Student Lobby. The As.sociatcd Students of North Idaho voted 10 join the ISL at their Oct.15 meeting. According 10 the Argonaut, the UI student newspaper, ASUI President Dave Pena said the junior colleges had no interest in joining ISL due 10 their limhed runds and different interests. However, ASNIC President Colleen Evans

was thoroughly confused about the whole situation. because no one had contacted North Idaho College on the issue. According 10 Evans, no representatives were able 10 ancnd the October meeting where the exclusion was decided because of mid-1em1 exams. She said no one had contacted her either before or afler the decision for input. Senator Julie McCoy said she didn't think it was right that LCSC. UI, and ISU sat down 10 make a major decision about ISL without contaeting NIC. She said they should have waited until all of the schools involved were there. NIC had no idea what was going on, McCoy said. The next meeting of the Student Lobby is set for Nov. 15 in Pocatello. Evans and sophomore Senator Rich Bakes will be attending.

Emergency money drained by unpaid student loans by Kristy JeUesed Stnlmtl Rtporttr

Each scmesicr, loans arc given by the financial aid office 10 students just for emergencies, but this semester, all the loans aren't being paid back. according 10 Jillc Shankar, North Idaho College dircc1or of financial aid. The emergency loan fund is separate from ruiancial aid, Shankar said. The loans are given to specific students for specific and unexpected emergencies. It's called a 30-day turnaround program where a student gets an average of S150 and is expected to pay the loan back in 30 days. "The first day of school, I lent out approximately $10,(XX)," Shankar said, "and 30 days later I had approximately S6,(XX) back." The money for lhc emergency l<>ans is institutional money, available because of gifts to the college, not because of financial aid. If loans aren't being paid back. then it means that the students who need the loans now won 11 be able to get lhem. "I have money now, bu1 I wiU go through i1," Shankar said. "I will be establishing o waiting list."

As soon as the loans arc due, the business office will write to 1he students and let them know that NIC needs 1he money back. The business orriec will write at least two letters, according to Shankar. Then, if the loan isn '1 paid back, t11e s1uden1 will not be able to register the nc.'« semester, she said. "It's really critical just for them (the students) to pay it (the loon) back. because it's a revolving fund," Shankar said. "They benefited because someone else paid it back, and now they're giving someone else the opportunity." Last yc.ar, Associated Srudenl"S of Nonh Idaho College set up a loan fund that turned over about three time;, she said. "When people pay it back. it really helps out a lot of students,·• Shankar said. "So. SIO,(XX) could pocentially rum around three times and I could be lending out S30,(XX) for the )car."
