Sentinel Reporter More student• .ind fewer lowcost rentals in the Coeur d'Alene area ha~ N!C looking into pos\iblc expansions of on-campus housing.

The need for on-campus housing wu, discussed during the N IC trustees meeting on Nov. 20. The board looked a t exi~ting dorm problems. grow th in the community , rising cost in off. campus housing and hig her enrollment.

"We have known for some lime that we were going to need more dorm space; it's jus1 been a maucr of plouing through other projects until we could get to this one at an appropriJle time," said NIC President Roben 13cnnett.

Bennell a,kcd 1he board for permi\~ion to request a proposal from an architect 10 l{1ok into 1he future and come up with n possible dormitory site that will bc~t fi t NIC's need\.

Dean of Students David Lindsay said the requesicd propos al deadline is Dec. 16. and from 1hnt point, the decisions will get 1ougher to mnke.

At the board meeting. Lindsay recommended lhnt NIC should proceed with building a dorm that could accommodate 200 students.

According 10 Lindsny, in a recent survey of 402 NIC s tudents, 53 percent said if NIC had nice and decently priced housing they would live on campus.

The present dorms only house 94 students, and during enrollment earlier this fall, 68 students were placed on a waiting Iist.

Lindsay did some estimated growth ratios for the boa rd of trustees and cnme up wi th a 40 percent increase in the growth rate for the Coeur d'Alene area by the year 2000. ·'The college can not grow at that rate - we can't handle more then three to five percent in growth a

year:· he ,aid.

Bcnncll said if an appropriate building site could be found and bonds issued. the board may approve building as soon as next yenr.

Li nllsay \aid the students arc gelling pinched a~ Coeur d'Alene becomes a destination rcson town.

Investors arc buying up IO\\·Cost housing and either jacking up the rate, or rebuilding to supply the home buyer's demand. he said. ''The problem is the growth in Coeur d'Alene is cau~i ng fewer and fewer affordable hou~ing. The nverage rent has gone Ufl considerably in the past few yea~." Hennell said.

Lindsuy said Coeur d'Alene ha, experienced n 41 ~ percent increase in rent in the past 20 years. In 1970. the average rent NIC students paid in Coeur d'A lene was $73. and in 1990. it was 1,375.

Benncll snid,"The opportunitit·s for students arc gelling smullcr and smaller so that pressure is coming bac~ to the college in 1em1s of ·if ~tudents arc to continue 10 come here. we're going to hn,•e to have a place 10 put them."'

Dennett also said the Fort Sherman Apartments are facing some probl ems with fi re inspections.

"If something should happen there, and they were not be able to function, then we would have all of those students to accommodate; however. I'm not suggesting that wi 11 happen."

The mortgage on the existing dorm has been paid off, interest rates are low and rentals would pay for a new dorm without interfering with other fu nding budgets. ''We are having to make some adjustments for student housing, and I don't think there is a more appropriate time to do it," said Be nnett. ( See related story DORM Page 3)

Enrollment prompts dorm study

by Dominic Howard

Sentinel Reporter A 20 percent increase in enrollment over the past five yea~ and projected incrrnscd enrollment prompted a housing poll nnd a s1udy of the present dormi1ory condi1ions.

The study by NIC on lhe dormitory iodic31ed several problems with the eJ1isting SlfUCtUre. According 10 1he s tudy. the heating. ve111ilat1on ond air-conditioning systems need 10 be upgraded. Ventilation and exhaust problems have caused moisture damage, the study said. Also, according to the study. the construction of the era typically has insufficient insulation. Resident rooms need increased area for study and storage, the

electrical system needs replaced, the exi~ting nni roof needs replaced nnd mny plumbing fixtures need replaced.

NIC officials are currently making plans for a new housing development that would house 200 ~tudcms.

When NIC took the housi ng poll on students wants and needs, 32% want single rooms. 44% want double rooms and 23% wnnt family housing.

When asked about their needs in the new dorm, 72%. said they wanted laundry and kitchen fac ilities, while 46% wanted a study lounge, 32% wanted a 24-hour quiet wing.

28% wanted a game room ond 19% wanled indoor bike storage.

Some other attributes in a new dormitory

that students snid they wanted were roominess, securi ty. phones, computer hookup. pri vacy, ndc41rn1c parking. a daycare. furnished rooms and cable television.

When asked about a meal plan, 59% wanl on all-you-can-cat program, 2S'n- want a five-day program. 72% wanl a seven-day program and 41 S'c want to use a point system (buy semester points and only pay for what they ent).

ASNIC signs resolution condemning tax initiative

by Trevis DeVoro Assislanc Editor

A resolut ion to condemn 1he Idaho One Percent lni1iativc was recent ly signed by the ASNIC board members.

"We feel 1h01 the one percent initiative wi ll jeopnrdizc the streng1h of our school system," said Doug Whi1ney. sophomore senator.

The resolutio n s1a1es 1h01 the One Percent lnitia1ivc "poses a threat 10 the financia l well-being and effee1ivcness of the local governments in Idaho and 1heir financial ties 10 Idaho's stoic institutions," and that che ini1intive "would force the legislators to merely shift the tax burden 10 other revenue sources or to creme new revenue sou rces. The one percent

initiative would Jeopardize the well -being of the public educational system in the s1ntc of Idaho."

International exchange necessary for colleges to compete globally Med1o1 e,pen and philo~opher M01'hall McLuhan on~ ~,d. ·n., 11 c,r/tl is ber,m1111g a Global Vlllagt. • From my c:1.perience 1his couldn·t be more true. r,c rocked-n-rolled \\ith MTV while 1ouring Greece.

These experiences were possible becnuse of :idvanced technology a,.d the fnc1 thnl the resl of the world looks 10 us for information. As America. we: set the e~nmples.

Other countries also look 10 America's com munit y colleges ns successful examples of work-force training. says NIC President Deborah Akers Bob Dennen.

Opinion As n result, NIC now has 1v.o fapan~ sis1er colleges: lkuei and Nagasaki Junior Collct?t. The purpose behind a sister college is 10 mengthen personal and professional dcve lopmcm. enhance opponunites in education and con1ribu1e 10 world-wide peace.

The opponuni1ie,; 10 ~hare ideas, programs and even focult) are endless. Two nursing instructo~ from NIC r«cntly 1ourcd Jap.tnese hospi1als.

More exchanges like this should be developed. For e,ample: E"ery )eat 1he NLC carpentry cln~s builds a hou~ locally. How nbou1 buildin[! one in Japan?

Here in Norih Idaho it seems we·ve remained conten1 10 allow 01hcr cultures 10 glean from us. Yc1. we should be n.~kinti wh:11 we can leurn from them?

Amon!!! 1hc many ways 10 gain ideas from 01hcr cultures arc study abroad programs in ano1her country or panicipJ1ion wi1h e~change students right here on our own campus.

Living. working or s1udying omong people of a diHcrcn1 cullure almos1 in,·ariably highlights 1he idiosyncrasies of our own culture: we find 1ha1 our own 1boughts :ue less 1han univc™'IIY true.

~DITORIAL

The spirit of Christmas past, present and the brighter future "It is more blessed 10 give than to receive." the consummate credo of selflessness from Acts in the Bible, is most often quoted during thfa time of the year. These nine simple words capture what most people have come to think of as "the spirit of Christmas."

The holiday season is indeed the time to give freely, without expcctations--we understand this and try, to varying extents, to put it into practice. The whole experience of giving somebody a gift, of any kind, and seeing their elation is one of the moments that makes our lives seem a Jillie more significant (though being on the receiving end isn't so bad ei1her!).

The point, and it has been made over and over again, is that the true spirit of Christmas, and of giving freely, has been diminished somewhere along the way. It surely hasn't been lost completely and definitely not by everyone; its subtle disappearance is not as noticeable as if someone had spirited away the mammoth wreath hanging at the Reson--but the jingle in

those old bells just isn't quite the same anymore.

Every one of us has the ability to perform small miracles in the simplest. yet most profound, of gestures--mnking other individuals. whether they seem to need it or not, feel a sense of wonh and dignity, a sense that they might actually belong in this often intimidating world we're living in. It's not too far-fetched 10 believe that everyone may be able to use a little bit of that yuletide magic.

Let's set our goals low the first time--when we achieve them, the bigger ones will seem eaiser. Material gifts are too easy; take someone you know aside, give them a call. write them a letter, or do whatever feels right, but somehow let them know that you think they're someshing pretty special: it may not seem like much, but it sure can't hun.

Who knows, with a little luck, we may just bring back some of the old jingle-bell blessing that somehow slipped away.

Merry Christmas!

E'ITEllS TO THE EDITO Kinsey replies to 'attack' Edi1or.

Dunn~ m) fhc dJ)\ of r,-co,·cry from :1n :tMhmn :mack. I "3.\ callnl b) fritmh who !'(lid I w"' ,mud,ed for my 1>\UC~ on 1he patking problem.

Appan'ntl). Jive ind1\lduah hn, e .1ccu,ed me or grand· s1.1nding the pJrl.ing i(~Ue with<lul fnct(. They ~aid 1hcy hod mennllncd 10 me th.it I 5hould h.w~ .:onducted polls.

What 1he(C people failed 10 tell the Sentinel is 1h01 I personally hove collected close to 300 names and spent extni time canvassing the library and 1he SUB for signatures. Other individuals helped put out niers nil over campus. but according 10 one of my nttnckers when I questioned her about the pe1i11on. she said to me. "I have been 100 busy 1:il(ing tests."

When the day of our protest cnme. two other people and I "en: the only ones that showed up. ln the Sen1inel. prior to the chnrncter assassination mode on me, I mentioned no spedfic person or persons. I was miking to all people who are apathetic ond unwillin11 to net 10 make a change.

My choracler stands by i1selr. In 1990. I traveled J, 143 miles across 1his country by wheelchair. risking my life ond my health. pro1es1in11 1re:11men1 to veterans exposed to Agent Orange. I risked being harassed by a college because I truly believed discrimina1ion ogoinsl the handicapped was being practiced.

So. what have I accomplished? An Agent Orange bill stating that veterans oulside of Vietnam wil l be compensated for exposure to Agent Ornngc was passed through the House and Senate. Dlscrimino1ion of the handicapped will stop at the college. I am s1ill working on the POW issue. and I am one or the first veterans to be compensated outside or Vietnam for Agent Orange exposure.

So when I set out for a cause, my credibility stands on its own. I would never accomplish my goals by chornctcr assassination with a pen, nor would have 1he famous Martin UJther King. Those people who really wnnl change will risk more than a pencil lead and 1he wear and tear of the posterior.

Those people who otlllcked me are the same who came 10 me for help with prior problems. Whe n I mode my statements for 1he Sentinel. I never mentioned those who failed 10 carry out their promises. Appnren1ly, they have n conscience that can only be sntisfied through the attack or someone who is credible.

If a comparison be made of my credibility to those who accuse me. it would prove to all people who read this letter that action speaks louder than words. I say to those who lack motivation-·if you feel comfonnble attacking people who work for a goal, and it makes you reel taller. please, be my guest, my life on earth is shon, so ir anncking me feeds your non-moti vnted souls. it's nothing 10 me but one more disuse I gladly bare.

Former staffer appalled Edi111r.

I nm nppulled 1hn1 nut ,1 ~inglc Nor1h Idaho Colkgc ~,udcnt , racuhy or swtr member, n<•r even one or 1hc Sentinel's ,·ast rcudcr~hip rc~pondcd to Bon Wcdgcn·\ r<'vcaling s101emc111 in 1hc "Street Ocat" or Oct. 11 .

In rc~pon~e 10 the qucric "Whal wculd you ~ay if your besl rriend said. 'I'm gay"/," Wedgen. with his mind welded tinnly shut. tenderly replied, "I'd kill him. I'd nng his neck.

I'd defini1ely bent him up." (Gee, wilh friends like Ban. .. ) No one mndc :i peep condemning such misology.

A~ a former Sentinel staff member. my embnrra.~sment by 1he Scn1incl's silence is second only to my dismay tha1 the Kootenni County Task Force on Human Relations remnined mum as well. For these institutions 10 allow the rcmnrk to go unchallenged is. in my opinion. iacit accep1ancc of suchand I use the term loosely--thinking. lnciden1s or gay bashing are on the rise. Anti,seme11sm is on 1he rise: Cornell, Duke. Michigan and Northwestern universities' student newspapers recently ron full-pllgc ads claiming the Naiis didn ·1 inlcnd to ex1crmin111e Jews nod calling 1he accepled figure of six million Jewish dcmhs "nn irresponsible exoggerntion." Bigo1ry is on 1he rise: nearly 40 percent of Louisinnions voted for David Duke in their gubernatorial election. With 1his in mind, one mus1 ~~umc 1hn1 those developments are occep1ablc, especially when judging by the aforementioned ins1i1u1ions· no1able silence As the nation con1inues iis silent slide toward whot can only be viewed as a nco-fascist society. I can only reel disheartened with the suspicion that it's only a mnncr of time before ii will be cx1rcmely unpopular 10 believe 1h01 "All men and women arc creo1ed equal" and 1ha1 someone not unlike Ban We<lgen will be cncouf"l!gL>d 10 take oc1ion, like killing me, ringing my neck and "definitely" beating me up. with the full suppon or socic1y: heterosexuals are 001 exempl from hntred.

All 1his withou1 a peep from 1hose who should be the most ,•igilnnt. I con 1hink or only one way 10 sum up my thoughts. I quote a column, which appeared in this very publica1ion on April 7. 1988. It reads: Richard Buller debe semir fan1as1ico. .. Pensabe que tanta tontcria era al senor Buller y sus scguidores. Creo que no. lndeed, when Bart Wedgcn goes unchallenged, 1he light at the end or lhe tunnel is. assuredly, an oncoming train.

Freedom has lost meaning in today's apathetic society Whnt ever happened 10 the original nnd comet definition or freedom?

From the !>.!ginning of time, freedom wus bru;cJ o.>n 1he ability 10 escape enslavement and on a per5on ·s oppor1uni1y nnd ability 10 control his or her own destiny, Freedom was not n question of n person having a care-free life: u was a question or no1being n slave or nol being completely controlled by n govcrnmenl.

So what does 1hn1 soy for 1he you1h or America?

The Web~tcr's New \Vorld Dictionary defi nes the word freedom as ''exemption from nn obliga1ion, discomfort, e1c." or us "ea~e of movement."

This definition of freedom is the epitome or the American-born society that we live In 1odny. This Travis Devore defini tion tells us 1ha1 Opinion freedom in no longer some1hiog that should be valurd; ii is something that should be used as nn ucuse ror 1he lock or work u person does.

We the people or the Uniled States in order 10 become o more lazy sociely have forgotten the meaning or freedom. Instead of appreciating the free lire we live. we mke it for grnn1ed. We hove replaced the definition or freedom with the definition of upa1hy.

Freedom is now based on the nmounl of vacn1ion time a person has accumulated, or the lack or worries or cares a person hos,-even a car or other modes of transpona1ion con be considered n source of freedom for some people.

Si nee Am erica· s young are being born into freedom, they do not understand wha1 it is like 10 be forced 10 earn it and they do not understand the true value or freedom; 1hus it is token for grnn1ed. Instead or attempti ng to understand the value of freedom, the youth or today have new values that they consider sources or freedom.

These new volues come abou1 because mnny righlS no longer carry the same meaning that they held in 1he past. Instead of freedom being thought of as 1he best possible lire a person can live, freedom is thought of as the least amount of work that a person can do. The freedom of speech. of choice and all of the 01her first amendment rights are forgotten.

They are being replaced by the freedom to lie around the house, the freedom 10 blindly follow government policy and the freedom to deny responsibility.

The definition or freedom has shifted away from a way of life and has shifted toward o bad excuse to be a lazy, non -functioning person in society.

God save us all from the hard working youth 1ha1 exist in countries that have yet to be born into a society blessed wi1h frttdom .

Drug legalization: a Perfectionist or conscientious-question deserving either way, the Music Man is back serious thought

by Vivian Fennell

Drug\ arc J h,g p.irt of our live~ whe1hcr we usc 1hcm or no1 They"re offered 10 our children and taken. They"re on our tclc\l~ion, and "aiched: 1he) 're used by our family um) friends Most .in)One you a.,J.. "ill agree 1h01 drug use is a bag problem.

Cr:ack bah1cs are born nil the 1imc. and people are killed d:uly in drug-rtlalcd incidents. bu1 1hc ,olu11ons thu~ far ha"e no1 even ('(lffiC cl<»t 10 solving 1hcM? or any of 1hc 01hcr problems reln1ed 10 drug u_~ I recently watched "Prcdnlor 2." The mo,•ic begins wi1h a creature from ano1her pluncl wa1ching over n fuiuris1ic city and looking for vaolcnce. Nl) problem there. il's oil over lhc cily. Bui where doe, lhc crea1urc find 1he mos1?

In a small war g.oing on bc1wccn police and a gong of drug dls1ribu1ors wilh more "capons 1han the police.

This is 1hc same kmd of dork fuiure depicied in many fu1uris1ic movies. and most of these films include illicil drugs as part of 1ha1 dnrk fuwrc.

Now 1hink buck 10 1hc "roaring" '20s. A 101 of people would think of lha1 U$ a ,omcwha1 "dark pas1," and a large portion of 1hc c-rame of 1ha1 lime revoh:cd around illici1 alcohol. the n:sl re,•olving arou.1d gambling and Alex T. Evans pros111u11on which cou ld also be Opinion lc ga li,cd, bu1 1ha1·~ for ano1hcr column.

Legali.uuion is 1he bes1 solu1ion for 1he huge problem of drug u~c. It "ould creme revenue through la~es that could be used 10 cduca1e our children no1 10 u~e drugs nnd 10 help rehnbiiitolc 1ho$e people 1h01 wan1 10 qui1. h would pu1 a big deni in orguni1.ed crime and. an 1um. reduce the violence m our sirec1s.

This column could go on and on abou1 1he advan1agcs of legali,auon. including medicinal. psychological. social and Ct"onornic, bu1 whether or no1 ii would make our lives n u1opio or not. there is u much more 1mponon1 qurnion 01 slllke.

The ques1ion tha1 is mo!t important is whether we as ciliLens of 1hc United S1a1es ~hould have 1he righl to choose. Nol jusl whether we use drugs or noi. but the many 01her choices 1h01 we must make every day: like whe1hcr we should use a condom. whc1her we ~hould drink alcohol. These l' hoiccs are imponan1 10 us. How would you feel 1f o la" ,vu\ pa~~ed 1ha1 you had to u,e a condom if you \\Cren'1 nrnrried. or you couldn'1 ho,·e a beer a1 lhe party you're gomg 10 Sa1urda> mBhl. L.1w~ like 1he one, ,n 1he .,hove pnmgraph would bc almost 1mpo~s1ble to enforce und a dcfana1c infringement on our right~. ~ome" ho1 like drug u,e Laws like 1hai hove been made qune recently- maybe you didn't know 1hn1 it is illegal 10 have oral or anal sex, o federal law 1h01 was rcccnlly pa~sed.

The lows and policies tliat hnve been chosen by our leaden, do no1 show the grca1 leader-hip quahlles tho1 ( e~pect of lhcm.

I'm no1 condoning 1hc use of drugs. I' m slating the foci 1hu1 my freedom is nol complc1c.

If I wan1 10 stick 11 needle m my arm. ~non powder up my nose. inhale smol..c inio my lungs or pop liulc colored pills into my mouth, it's my choice. not some half-bald. half-brained polhiciun's.

Thank you for your in1erc~1.

MOUNTAIN BIKING: --It 's not just for fun anx:more More and more -professional mountain bikers rush to race

··some of the guys over- train:· Gncnner said. "Tmimng is very imponon1 but you definitely need to toke a few dnys off here and there:· During the winter. Gnenner lifls plenty of weights and stays in shape by skiing.

Gaenners last race was a, the Sandpoint Fat Tire Furry.

Mounrnin biking isn·1 just for fun anymore. Yes. when the sun Is out and the wc:11her is nice, it can be very enjoyable. but the renl net ion can be found ot the races.

Mike Gacnncr i~ a professional mountnin bikc rider. He travels all around the Nonhwcst and roccs his bike.

Gaenncr owns an "Offroad Pronex:· He staned ridi ng three years ogo but didn·1ride seriously until two years ago.

Now he races every other week.

The mounrnin bike events arc usually 20-35 miles long and consist of many uphi ll and downhi ll obstacles.

Gaenner's favorite roce was the Prie\ t Lake Sell.irk ChaHenge. ·•11 was grca1:· Gaenncr ,aid. "We had to ride through one and a hnlf feet of wmcr for two or 300 ynrds."

Many of the mcc~ Include ~ome el'en more dinicuh sections.

"About hnlf the races make the panicipants cnrry their bike through pam uf the cuur.;c," Guenncr said.

Gaenncr has o rigorous training sehcdule. Sometimes he rid~ long rides of up to I00 milei. in one day, and other times he docs sprints, Gnenncr said.

"The performance of the bike is important. .. but winning races is more motor than machine."

Races arc held 01 Silver Mounrnin, Spokane. Missou!J and Snndpoint as well ns in other places nround the lnl,md Nonhwest, Gacnner snid.

Gaenner also suid that next year the Nmionul Off-Rood Bicycle Association (NORBA) would l!ive poinlS to 1he area riders for finishing well. The rider with the most poin1s at the end of the ~enwn would be the Poinl~ Champion. That should mukc things more exciting according to Goenner.

"The performance of an indi\lidual bike is ,cry imponunt:· Gnenner said. ··You get what )OU pay for, but winning races is more motor thon machine."

Gnenner sold he believed that beginners shouldn·t buy nn expensive bike right off the bat. ··v ou can really thmsh on a new bike when you don·1know what you 're doing," Gaenner said, ··but don' t buy a cheap bike ei1her or else you·11 never learn to do anything right."

At every event there isn·t only an expcn clnss(which Gaenner races in) but a begi nner class race is also availabk.

"There are usually nbout -10 riders in the spon class nnd only around 10 in the CJ\pen class at each c, ent," Gacnner said.

Although Gaenner takes mountain bike raci ng as :i serious spon, he sny~ that everyone should hnve :is much fun :is possible. If he didn·1 hove fun, photo by Alex Evans he wuuldn·1do ii. he said.

So maybe mountain biking is j~t for fun.

Lady runners take sixth in nation

by Debbie Wllll1m1 ~ntinel Reporter

The NIC women's cross counl.J')' 1cnm placed sixth in the Na1ional Cross Country Mce1 in Wichila, Kan ..

Nov. 16.

Jose Gonzales, NIC men's individual qualifier placed 23rd 10 become on All-American.

The women placed accordingly: Angela Lenhard!, 23rd (All· American); Diann Coner, 291h; Shannon Blnnkinship, 391h; Kateri Mydland, 43rd; Hen1her Bartleson, 551h: Kjcrsien S1efanscn. 56th; and Debbie Williams, 66th.

Coach Christy Davids said everybody ran well and tha1 Blankinship, Mydland nnd Stefanscn ran excellent races compared to the previous four races.

"Everbody goes to lhe line at Nationals wanting to have thal pcrfec1 race. bu1 under the condi1ions and 1he pressures. you usually seule for a S1rong race,'' Davids said.

D:ivids said he wan1ed some of them to have belier roccs for their own sakes.

"I wan1ed Diana (Coner) 10 be an All·A111eric;i11," Davids said.

The racing conditions began rainy nnd cold and progressively go1 worse.

From an a1hle1e's standpoinl it wasn't

good because runners had 10 wnrm up in 1he rain, Davids soid.

"Running cross country in 1he rain is whal il's all abou1," Davids said, "but no1 warming up in 1he rain 01 the National Championship."

Davids said 1he condi1ions for 1he men were worse because it had been raining for a couple of hours, bu1 he said he was happy with NIC's sixthplace finish.

"Wi1h 1he standards 1his cross country pro[!ram has set, I could live wi1h seventh. I was happy wi1h sixth, bul I really wanted lifth.'' he said.

The 1op live 1eams arc awarded placement trophies. Davids said the girls were three points ou1 of fifth· place. Last year the girls tied for founh plooc and ended fifth.

Davids said Gonzales ran well, racing as an individual.

"Being a freshman and running in the top 25 is something that you have to respect," Davids said. "because the people in the top 25 have been running a 101 longer and have more running experience other than just high school."

Davids said GonZlilcs probably could have run a belier race had he no1, like Williams. decided to play in the mud.

Gonzales was in 21 s1 ploce ond 120 meters from the finish when he fell down n1 n 90-dcgree 1um, Davids said.

There were 1hrcc to four inches or wa1er in some parts of 1he course.

According 10 Davids, running siyles de1ennined how economical 1he race would be. For instance, he said shuffiing was 1he mos1 eflicienl because ii slowed the runners· chances of falling. Davids said Lenhard! and Caner used thal 1ecbnique to 1heir advan1age.
