Financial aid may vex needy students

by Erin Johns Sen~nel Reporter

Ediror'i note: Se,·ual s111dem.r dec/i11ed 10 .t//lte their /11/1 110111c due to /r:ar of finaMwl rcpucussi,ms.

One thing !)l!Ople on either side of the financ:-ial aid debate can agree on is that the Financial Aid Office in the Student Union Building can become an cmouonal place, ~ince II deal~ with mone) and <tudcnis· future,.

Students say the)' often depend upon money they arc eApcc ting from financial aid before they are certain the monev will be awarded. Some s1udent~ received their finan~ial aid 100 late, and, as a result. had to drop out of sr:hool.

"It is not Financiol Aid's responsibilit) 10 adhere 10 students' lack of planning," said Da"id Lindsay. dean of students.

Some s1uden1s claim that information provided by the Financial Aid Office is inadequa1e and lhat many questions go unanswered.

"The "'hole time I went into the Financial Aid Office. only once wa.\ I given a name of ~omeone I could talk 10. and I had been an there four or five times before that," said Tim. "ho. like 01hcr ~tudents. asked to keep !us full name omiued.

One ~tudcnt <mid that he hadn't recieved his award letter \\hen he was almos1 po,i11ve that he qualified. \Vhen he "ent into the oflicl! 10 chl'Ck on his letter. he said he was treated like din "I "a~ trl'att!d like a dinv room that needed 10 be cleaned up Jnd SflO~<!n to in v~I') dipped tone-;." he said.

According 10 Jillc Shankar, director of Financial Aid "'h.:n schola~h1p mone~ is rece,,ed. 11 is distributed as first prioru~ to the O\\ ard lencr;.

The finuncial aid application proces, takes two 10 three month< bcl\\Cen !he time ~tudents mail 1heir applii:-ations and 1he ume the} recei,e their checks.

"Financial aid \\OUld be good if I d1dn"1 hove 10 keep :;omg 1hrou11h the paperwork all the 1ime." Ed Stephens said.

"It JU,t dOC\n·1 St!<!m to benefit students because it takes so Ion~ ..

Each <ludent'< •ituation i~ different from 1he 01hers. Take Tim. for .:,ample· He received a ~cholarship for S600 nnd :i loan for S2.066. No problem. except that the loan wa< reduced to $610 because he received 1he l-Cholarship.

"Financial Aid didn't allow enough money for my living e~pen~s. I JUSI received enough for school,'' Tim said.

Al~o take "Jane·~.. \i tua1 ion She defaulted on her scholarship. und. as n rc~uh. she needed to complete si;,; credits 10 be eligible for financial aid When she completed the clls\cs she needed nnd delivered the grade sheet to show proof that she had fulfilled her credit requirement. she was tohl that ~he w:i., pre,•iousl) mi$informcd.

Officials examine financial aid conflicts

by Travis OeVore Senunel Reporter

The majority of the connicts between the Financial Aid Office nnd srudents stem from <tudcnts not understanding the process that they must go through in order to receive financial aid and students missing deadlines or fihng for financial n1d late. according 10 Jille Shanka.r. director of linnncial aid at NIC. "The major problem is that they (students) don't apply on ume or don't follow through," Shanknr said. Generali,. students apply for !inancinl aid an Jnnuury. but w11h wrincn lcuers asking for more or mi~sing information they respond poorly and thu.~ miss deadlines, she said.

Applying for finnnciol aid can become a two to three month process. si nce students mus1 send the completed financnll aid form to Princeton, NJ .. to be re,icwed Then the college: or university that the i.tudent ,vi~hes 10 auend mus1 detenninc what financinl aid award u Mudent deo;ervcs.

Man y students that apply late for financial aid do not receive their financial aid until after the semester has alread~ started, and 1hus they ha,e a hard lime buying book) and paying for housing and food sen ices and even paying for tuiuon. according Lindsay.

"I. m)self. have extended payment for 50 students until Oct. 4," Lindsay stud.

"If a student has not received their tin.uicial aid and ihe)' can show me their award lener saying that they will be receiving financial aid. then we "ill wor~ w11h lhcm in housing and food sen ices," Lanny S1e1n, director or auxiliary services at NIC.

The Financial Aid Office hos also run into its share or problems to complicate the whole process The office JOSI a staff member and was short handed coming into this semester. according to Lindsay.

If you're a typical college s1udent like me. you probably had 10 apply for some 1ype of financial aid 10 help you pay for school. You were probably preuy excited or relieved when you received a lener in 1he mail staling th:11 you received financial aid. Whew, what a relief.

Now one of your normal college worries is off your shoulders (or so ii seems). You probably weren·, expecting a certain leuer stating that you owed your tuition or part of it 10 NIC by Friday, Sept.

20, or your enrollmen1 would be cancelled.

I was awarded a scholarship for $2 15, which went 1oward my tuition. I received that after my loan came through and I had signed the papers on it.

I never realized that if J accepted that Leslie Biggar scholarship I would lose my work study Staff Writer ($750 for lhe year) and ha\ e to reapply for the loan I received at a lessor amount. I could have kept everything and scraped up the money I owed on my tuition wilhin the eigh1 days of receiving the notice.

Yeah. right! rm a rich college student who could have some up with the money, no sweat.

That's why I applied for financial aid in the firs, place-because I just felt l needed the experience of filling ou1 a ton of forms. Then, like thousands of other students. 1 waited and waited un1il the Financial Aid Office decided that the forms had collected enough dust or they had found where they misplaced them. What a wonderful experience!

J lhought my financial aid was supposed to cover my tuition until I completed my schooling, and then I start making payments after chat. Did I misunderstand some1hing or was I supposed to read be1ween 1he lines?

Yes. I know that most loans don·, come through until the end of September or October. bu, is that our fault? And why should we be charged a $25 late fee because of the loans no1 coming through uni ii then. It doesn ·, make sense to me.

I understand chat some students may have the money. but the majority of studen1s and their parent.~ can't come up with chat kind of cash within lhe eight days. Thai is how many days J had from the day 1 received 1he leuer. Some students had far more money to come up with --please see MISSING MARK Page 6

THUMBS UP from Page 4 - - MISSING MARK from Page 5 lheir ~periences are actual and common.

There an: always rumors going around campus about how rude people in the financial aid office are. or about how they screwed one student or another. These rumors lead othe r students to have misconceptions about financial aid.

First of oil. most people get upset because they wnnt to ge1 financial oid as soon as they apply for it.

The process for reviewing applications tokes rwo 10 three months. according to Jille Shanknr. director of NTC-s financial aid office. She said 1ha1 the biggest problem with applications is ge11ing students to follow through .,.. ith 1he entire process and keep in 1ouch with the office. · Because negative expe riences take longer to forget than posiuve ones and bad financial aid experiences are shored with 01hers more often than £ood ones, NIC's financial aid office has a bad reputation.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST-The Coeur d'Alene Brewery building, which once towered three tall stories over the library buijding site photo courtesy of The Museum of North Idaho

Beer bottles bring back memories

by Lori Vivian Sentinel Reporter

A reminder of Coeur d' Alene' s his1ory was uncovered las1 week when workers discovered a pile of old brewery glass while digging ground for lhe new parking 101 by the tennis courts.

In 1908. Chris Berhard1 con1.rac1ed a mason named Frank X. Fruecbtl 10 build a brewery. What was to become one of Coeur d'Alene's most prominent landmarks of the era was completed in 1910. The Coeur d'Alene Brewery towered over the Fort Grounds and was visible for miles. according to old newspa.per anicles.

The Coeur d'Alene Brewery stood five s1orics high but was IJIJler than mosl five-story buildings due to unusually high ceilings. The brewery was 98 fe,ct wide and 200 feet high, wi1h a base including a frame addi1ion. The structure was made of five to six million bricks with walls seven bricks wide. On the sile was a JOO-foot well and an underground tunnel that carried mash 10 1he Spokane River. The brewery was often labeled one of 1he best built buildings of the ci1y·s boom-days.

All available information concurs that the brcwmastcr was a German man named Krueger. The brewery marke1ed Blue-Banner labeled beer. Unverified arc reports 1hat a large circular room. 25 feet 1n diameter. was used as a gambling pince. According 10 the County Assessors office. the Recorder"~ office. Panhandle Health Depanment and 1he local liquor conlrol office. no record of a license being issued for 1he brewery exis1s. It is

assumed by the ,•arious depanments tha1 fewer regulations governing breweries may have exis1ed a1 1hat lime.

Due to financial difficulties, the brewery became inactive just prior 10 the Volstead Prohibition era.The brewery was reopened as the Panhandle Brewing Co. in 1912 and operated until 1915. In 1917 the brewery tiled for bankruptcy.

The building was used as a cannery for several years, and Y.J meats operated mea1 lockers in the building for many years. Litigation continued to surround the property involving various local banks off and on until the property was acquired by the late Edwin Minzel in 1957. Minzel used the building for grain storage with a reputed capacity of 255 or more bushels.

Delores Minzel sold the building to the United Brick and Salvage Co. of Spokane in 1965 for S3.000 but retained the propeny. The building was razed and the bricks were shipped to Seaule, Ponland, Yakima. Pasco and Pullman. At today's price for low or regular grade brick, 47 cents a brick, the old brewery's monelllty value in bricks nlone would be approximately S2,820.000.

The old brewery served its time from Coeur d. Alene's flourishing steamboat era to the turbulcnl '60s and lhcn wns forgoncn by most. The majestic building was remembered only in old musty newspapers and the Nonhwes1 Museum records until working men. laying groundwork for NIC-s new parking 101. discovered a pile of brewery glass and gave people a momentary glance in10 Coeur d' Alene's his1ory pages.

than I did. Some students had to quit college because they couldn'1 come up with the money in lime!! Talk about what a good financial aid system we have.

J feel our financial aid system needs a good going through. It sounds like a big unorganized, screwed up and sometimes unthoughtful system. I know of many students who have left that place in tears because they were treated rudely by lhe people who work there.

I not only lost my work study money, I lost a monthly paycheck I was depending on 10 help pay my rent and bills and other necessities that I need to live day by day.

For those of you students who haven't bad any problems with the Financial Aid Office. count yourselves lucky. For those of you that have experienced what I have U you don't submit your applica1ion or worse. I feel for you-bang in there. by the deadline. you shouldn't expec1 aid don't give up. You know the old saying: ''Where there's a will. there's a way." before registration.

She also :1dmi11ed 1h01 the people working in the financial aid office are human and make mistakes occasional Iy

The first sentence about linancial aid in the NIC Handbook says, "If funding your North Idaho College education If you ask me, any group of people presents a problem for you, you may who disperses more than S3 million to want to consider linancial aid." Well. it about 800 students every school-year looks to me like considering financial aid should be worshipped. presents a problem for you.

Both Perrill and Berry cnmc a long way 10 ldnbo from their inner-city neighborhoods in Washing1on. D.C.. and they find !he life here 10 be very different from their lives at home "The CR\ ironmcnt Is nice here, r,·e met some nice people since I've b.:cn here. bul i1·~ nothing hke lifo nt home because it's kind of slow.

B The schools they anended were much bigger and had a different set of problems than those of many NIC students.

Berry snid, "My senior class had about 500 in it, but mnny of them didn't gradun1c.

A 101 or kids could make S500 or 51000 a day on the streets.

Some of them would come 10 school just 10 be a fashion plate and just wanted 10 be more nashy than you. II was a compe1ilion of dress.''

Perrin said of his school, "My high school was definitely in lhe fast mode; my senior class had as many students as we have here at !he whole college.''

Perrill has found out 1ha1 more people usually means more ac1ivi1y. "E,•crywhere you go in the city something's going on. All day and all night there' s always something 10 do. That tiny mall you have here. well, our Safeway is bigger than that mall " For Berry the lack of ac1ivi1y in quiet Nonh Idaho was something of a shock. "I really had 10 ge, used 10 not hearing a.lot of police sirens and not going 10 a lot of parties. In the ~ty you can hang out on the comer with your friends or play ping-pong or basketball."

Sometimes violence mixes with the everyday scene in

the inner city. Berry ~·aid, "If your street is hoving a confronlDtion with nnother street. they' re going 10 senle up und i1 doesn·1 mnuer who is going 10 get hun.

Yo.ur future kids: amphibians with respirator masks RECYCLE OR DIE. How m3ny times this week have you recycled? How many times this week have you driven less than a mile to get somewhere, when you could have just as easily ridden o bil\e or walked? How many bre31hs of clean air have you had in the last week!? Just what damage rue you doing to our tiny liule sphere of existence that may not last much longer. and why arcn ·t you doing something else?

The average man can live for three minutes without air, three doys without water and 30 days without food-but only 30 seconds without the will to survive. il seems lo me we have lost our will lo survive and we are just living on borrowed lime. How con I claim 10 have the will to survive when I do something like tum on my bathroom light knowing 1h01 a Advertising Editor good pcrccnrngc of 1h01 hundred waus comes from fossil fuel burning power plants? And how can you claim 10 have a will to surv,ve when (Ometime lodny you'll prob!ibly tum one of those liule silver car keys and bum some or your own fossil fuels?

If you·vc read this far you·ve probably come 10 one of two realizations: Either you feel this great desire 10 change your entire lifcs1ytc and save our dying planet or you feel like it's hopeless ond someone else's problem. Either wny you're messed up in 1hc head. Your lifostylt may change. but only for the bencr. And if you lhink it's hopeless, you're right.

The 49,200-squnre-fooi building" as designed by a local linn, Archi1ec1s Wes1.

Cons1ruc1ion was sul!tcd on July 23, 1990,

by Shea Construcuon Co. Financing 1h1: projeci was accomplished by pooling 1ogc1hcr many resources. The S1a1e of Idaho con1ribu1ed $3,335.000; 1he Nonh Idaho College Foundauon $600,000; the UI $410,000: and NIC $200,000. This IO!al of $4,545.000 doesn'1include 1he npproxima1ely $350,000 NIC plans 10 spend on furnishings.

The building has a condominium arrangemen1 be1ween NIC and the UI. II allows lhc UI to be lhe legal owner of a pan of lhe building; this co-ownership ngreemcnl is unique 10 Idaho ins1i1u1ions.

The entryway of !he new cenler will fca1urc a 14-fooi-high bronu: sculpwrc by NIC an ins1ruc1or Joe Jonas. Jonas is curremly a1 work creating 1he sculpture. which will depic1 1he his1ory of 1he region.

The building fea1ures ''in1elligen1" construc1ion since ii is equipped with compu1er and lclcphone cabling throughou1.

This wlll allow for ru1urc hook-ups from almos1 anywhere in 1he facili1y. It also 1s

designed 10 mec1 fu1ure needs by being designed so 1hn1 1hc second noor cnn handle addilions.

TI1e Libnuy/Compu1er Ce111er provides space for four different depanmems: on 1he lim noor Is 1he library, and on 1he second noor are 1elecommunica1ions. 1he compulcr center, and the expanded outreach for 1he UJ. Library The library will be open 10 s1udents a1 1he beginning of 1he spring semes1er. The library siaff wanted 10 ensure 1h01 library services 10 1he s1udcn1.S would be as unin1errup1ed as possible so Jhey will move into 1he building during Chrislmns break.

The lirs1 noor of the new building will increase 1hc square footage available for use by 1he library from 1hc currenl size in 1he Kildow Library of 9.360 10 27,500 in 1he new facili!y. It also will be able 10 house I00.000 books. The noor also has Ii ve group s1udy rooms, a conference room. a keyboarding room. a special collcc1ions room and library siaff offices.

Direc1or of Library Services Mary Carr said. 'The noor plan is designed 10 be extremely ncxible. We have put office and work areas, conference rooms and s1udy areas on the perime1er or 1he lirs1 noor so 1ha1 we can redesign o.reas ns we need 10. We know 1ha11herc will be changes in library services 1h01 we con'1 even prcdic1 righ1 now."

Carr is looking forward to NlC's joining the Inland Nonhwes1Library Au1oma1ion

Nc1work (JNLAN) that will connccl NIC's holdings wi1h several llfea colleges, including 1he UI nod Gonzaga.

She said, "A s1uden1will see ins1anmncously whe1her somc1hing is available. on order. on 1he shelf. if i1's checked 0111, nnd if il's 01 Gonznga or the Ul." Corr cau1ions agnins1 1hinking 1h01 the new facili1y will be an ins1an1 fix for all of 1he problems 1ha1 are evident in 1he old focili1y.

She said," We cnn't fix overnight 1hal we hnv.: far 100 few volumes on the shelf." The volume coun1, according 10 Carr. is "around 25.000 10 28.000." She said 1ha1 a college 1he size of NIC should have a minimum of 50.000 volumes. The llbrnry fee tha1 wus collec1cd from the s1uden1s as pan of 1heir 1ui1ion 1his year has pui $50,000 inio the operating budge1 and will 1ake a slcp 1oword addressi ng 1hc book deficit Carr also said. "The adminisira1ion has done n whole 101 in a shon period of 1ime. bu1 you jus1 can'1 fix ii (lhe lack of books) ovemigh1."

Carr is op1imis1ic nbou1 1he fu1ure abilily of 1he library 10 serve 1hc needs of NIC s1uden1s.

"We're interes1ed in impro,â&#x20AC;˘ing services. and 1h01 building will allow us 10 do that We have a 101 of plans 10 pu1 in place and a 101 of areas 1ha1 we won1 10 be able 10 serve," she said.

Smithsonian exhibit features past and present architecture

By P11tlck Hotter Senllnel Aepo,tet American architecture varies according to hs region nnd period in history as much as Americans lhcmselves. Over 1he pas1 300 years America has seen iLS 1as1es in buildings change depending on its economic condilion, war and the gcacrnl mood of society. The Smithsonian lns1itu1e's 1rnveling exhibi1ion. "Whai Style Is It? 300 Years of American Building Practices,'' gives the students of NIC an opponunity 10 see how U.S. building practices have changed over the past 300 years.

The show is a visual guide 10 the past 300 years of American architecture. The show features eltnmplcs from many periods of an:hi1ec1ure form an--<lcco 10 colonial.. The show includes 85 images, including some of 1hc mos1 expensive and sophisticated uamples from their 1imc periods. Oflcn 1hcse structures hove served as eltamplcs for smaller and less sophis1ka1cd buildings. A video tape will help c,.plaln 1hc styles or archilec1ure in 1he show.

Along wilh the video and displ3ys NIC S1uden1s will also

The lecture, '1'alked To A Building La1elyT' focuses on how

a person cao learn to interpret message~ 1ha1 a builder or architect may have lef1 in the design of 1he building. The second lec1ure. "Whal S1yle Is It?" is 11 a.m. Oc1. I. This lecture goes along wi1h a slide ihow and is designed to give the viewer a better idea of how architectural styles are innuenced by the general public. The: slides were ~lec1cd from all around the United S1a1es. According to lhe show's overview this is intended 10 s1imulate discussion on 1he tastes in archilecture among 1hc audience. Both lectures will be held in Boswell Hall, room 220.

Union Gallery coordinator Allie Vogl feels 1ha1 the show is a very imponan1 opponunity for the students and facuhy of NIC and tha1 1.hey should delini1ely uy 10 make lime to see it.

'Five Heartbeats' best video sleeper of year You ,nay enjoy it fo r just the music, or just the sto ry

By Lon Vivian

Sentlnet Repoftor If you like the music of The Temptations, the Supremes and James Brown, chances are good that you will enjoy "The Five Heanbeats" for the music alone. If you like a storyline with believable characters. warmth, laughter. tears, and a smattering of sex, then you are going to enjoy "The Five Heanbe111s" for what it is.... one or the best sleepers to hit video stores this year. ''The Fi vc Heartbeats" cove rs three decades in the life or a struggling rythym and blues quartet. As The Heartbeats grasp their way up from the bottom of the music business to the staggering heights of success, they deal with rejection, drugs, racism, ond personality connicts between each other.

The Heartbeats meel. tangle and beat the odds against money men, hcarilcss women, southern bil!OlrY and drug deniers pedaling false security. The movie begins in the presenr dny. tokes a memorable wolk through the past and fini shes back in the present with all lhc loose ends wonderfully tied.

Robert Townsend plays Duck. the moving force behind the group. with talent nnd versat ility. Townsend pulls 01 the audience's emoti onal strings with his ponrayal of the introspective. sensi tive songwriter. The audience understands. feel~ for and relares to Duck with an1nzinl) case.

Leon plays J.T.. Duck's older brorhcr nod the Romeo of the group. Even thoul!h J.1'. is not alwnys likable. stir-5 up trouble and huns the ones he loves most, he keeps your loyohy. Harry J, Lennix plays Cressn. who is the toll, lanky, bass singer of the group. A voice like rich. block velvet. n strong. silent personality nnd the stabilizing peacemaker of the group sums up the character of Cressa.

Lenmx comes across as both believable and mo11ing. Tico Wells portrays Choirboy. who is n preacher's son with the voice of a rockin' angel and the soprano of The Heartbeats. Wells delivers with on enthusiasm befiuing the character of Choirboy. Last, but certainly not least, is Michael Wright portraying E-0dle. the lead singer. In the course of two hours, Wright manages to invoke a fu ll spectrum of emotions. The audience's feelings allcmatc between love ond hate, disgust ond pity. anger and forgivenC5S and finally ends with the desire to s1ond nnd applaud.

The great supporting roles are ployed by

Chuck Panerson. who portrays Jimmy Potlers, The Heartbeats' friend and manager.

Diahann Carroll, who plays Jimmy's understanding wife; Harold Nichelos portrays the group's feisty dance mentor Sarge: and Hawtcane James. who plays a dishonest record mogul named Big Red. "The Five Heartbeats" is based on the experiences of several true-life Motown groups. The screenplay is by Townsend, who also directs, and Kcenen lvorY Wayans.

Townsend and Wayans also collabonucd on "Hollywood Shuffle" and "I'm Gonna Get Ya Sucka."

The Five Heartbea ts are brothers and friends who sing. fight and grow up together.

Cohn breaks the barriers of the same old Top-40

by Pairlck Hoffer Senhnel Reporter

I've round that ofter a while oil of the music on lhc top 40 stations begins 10 sou nd the same, and I really need to find something different. Well, after looking in one of the local record store.\ for nearly an hour I finally found something, an album by Mnrc Cohn. His self-titled album was really a nice surprise. The lyrics and sound of the album set it apart from the majority of albums and artists being played on top 40 stations today.

To date, there hove been two singles off the album, "Silver Thunderbird'' and "Walking In Memphis:¡ Both songs have done surprisingly well on the charts. The sound of these two songs is surprisingly rich. The songs rely heavily on piano, as do many of the songs on the album ..

"Silver Thunderbird" is one or the best songs on the album .. The reason I say this is because it is one of the few songs I have heard that focusses on good memories of childhood, not child abuse or regrets of lost love or something like th3t. The song tells the stOrY of Cohn's father and his car. OK. so it doesn't sound like much of an idea for a song. but it really works well. When you listen to this song you get a fee Ii ng for how his father's Thunderbird was almost important as his fnmily. bu t never more important. One of the best lines in the song ,s the description nt the stnn of the song.

"Wotchcd coming up Winslow, down Southpark Boulavnrd, ya il wa~ looking good from tnil to hood. with greatbig fins and painted steal. mnn h looked ju,1 like the 13atmobile, with my old man behind 1hc wheel ...."

Those two lines nt the start of the song give the listener n feel for how he really admired and respected his father. The whol~ Ming plays give\ the imprc~sion that he really admired his futhcr, nnd thnt he left n lasting imprC\sion of his love for the Thunderbird.

In both of Cohn's rlrst two videos, 'Walking In Memphis," and "Silver Thunderbird," the same early model ford Thunderbird can be found.

Another song that I reJII)' liked un the - album wa.~. "/\hies Away." The song is just a good song 10 listen to when you're depressed. Fir~t of all the M.mg ha:. a really upbe:11 tempo for the type or son!! that 11 is. Second of all is the type of song it i~. The song i\ about when romeon~ fe~h like their whole life is crumbling around them .. Tite song'~ general feelinr, b best summo:J up by the li~t few lines tn the song: "My friend.\ will a.,,k me liow I'm doing, but I just can't lie 10 them, ¡Not feeling Cine today. I saw my dream~ they where a ship on the ocean. now it looks like their mile~away.....

I think wh:11 make<. ,his wng so good is that it deals wilh the fact that usually we all know we have tu IJO through hard times. but that when we do go through these hard times we really don't understand or cart why.

The other song that I feel is really exceptional is "Walk On Water." The song deals with love and faith and how they an: rc3lly one in the same. The song uses pianos to increase the feelings found in the song. The song also deals with the feeling people get when they an: in love and don't really know what their future together is. The song has so mo.ny levels thar you have 10 listen 10 11 over and over again to understand them all.

The whole 5ong is exucmcly meaningful and you'll just have to listen to it yourself to undersrand what l mean.

Marc Cohn's debut album is filled with nch and meaningful songs. He is one of the few new anhts to emerge that I feel will be more then just a fad artist. His songs have the ability to transcend age and race and I feel that it is is one of the best albums out right now. If you have the chance, pick this album up. But it is one of those albums thnt sounds better on CO, so if you have the means I highly n:ccomcnd it on compact disk.

Mild winters make for good season

by Dominic Howard

Senbnel Reporter

The 199 1 hun1ing season looks 10 be equal to or bencr than los1 year. according 10 Jnck McNeel of 1he Idaho Fish and Game.

The popula1ion of 1he deer, elk and bear are ai very high al1iiudcs because of 1hc mild win1ers 1he pas1 few years. McNcel said.

The weather should be a fac1or because of the late season, McNeel said. Once ii snows in the high couniry 1hc animals will move downhill 10 find food. Thal results in ii being easier 10 fi nd 1he pcrfec1 bull or cow. he said.

There are no mojor changes compared 10 tns1 yenr. exccp1 1hn1 the season will open la1cr thnn usual.

The season wi II open later so bulls might have n belier chance of breeding, McNcel s:iid.

Even 1hough 1hcre nre no major changes this year.

McNeel said hun1crs can expec1 some next year because of a new Five-Year Manngemen1 Pion 1he IF&G is implementing.

Hunters may get 1hcir licenses al 1hc IF&G Dcpnnmen1 located on Nonh Govemmcn1 Way in Coeur d'Alene or 01 several local vendors. A hun1ing license will cost S7 Ibis ycor.

Hun1ers may ge1 their tags a1 1hc same places a1 a cos1 of SIO for deer, Sl6 for elk and $7 for bell!.

Togs and licenses for nonIdaho re.sidenis will be more more expensive 1han those for residents.

The IF&G would like 10 cau1ion hun1crs tha1 caribou moy be encountered in Unil I and grizzly bear may be encouniered in Unil I and the eastern portions of Units 4 and 7. There is no open SCD$On on cllfibou or griuly bear.

Pool tournament a classic: rookie beats vet

by Johnny Hunt Sentinel Repo,ter

The rule of 1he reponer is 10 cover lhe news, no1 be ihe news. Good reponcrs follow this guideline. but no one c\'cr .:xcuscd me or being n good reponcr I was in the S1uden1 Union Building Thursday, Scp1. 19. covering an 8-0all 1ournnmen1. I got there about 3 p.m•. and organizer Bren Taylor asked me.

"Are you going to play?"

Of cou~ I was there 10 cover a story. so I looked around, paused for a second and replied. "Yes, yes, I nm! Why not?" Taylor calmed me down and took my name and I was in. I sol down looking for the lead to my story when I s1aned talking to a student who was in !he 1oumnmen1.

"How long have you been playingT' I asked. The slender young mon wilh glasses an swered, "Abou1 four ycar.1 seriously. I use 10 play around five 10 10 games o doy ."

"Who's the favornc to win?" I asked 11$ we looked around the room m 1he other compe1i1ors Wllffiling up.

'1'hc guy m the hat over there,'' he said.

I looked over. ond o 44-yeor-old business major was worming up, knocking in nny boll al will. His nome was Don Bair. He's ployed pool for 30 years. and he hod won the 8-0311 tournament before.

"A lot or these guys here just shoot. They don' t pion ahead. You hnve to plan ahead three even four shots 10 be effective." he said.

I knew I just drilled them one Ill n time.

Then Taylor was announcing lhe slarlNS for lhc rlrst g11mc. I nsked my new fricnd for his nome and he replied. "Beel.., Da\'e Beck." Beck is o 21-year-old criminal jus1icc mojor who is attending both LewisClark ond NIC. I decided 10 follow Deck and lhe defending champion Bair around on my story. Deck's firsl match wns against Kori Mills. Beck wns n serious plnyer, no1 wos1ing any time pulling lhc first ball in. He concen1ro1cd on every shot, while Mills wos more reln~ed, joking nround the whole time. He seemed 10 have fun but he 10,1 ll~ Beck put in lhe ln.~1 four balls, induding the 8-Bnll.

Then I had 10 piny. I'd been ou1 of aclion for six mon ths. I was playing Rici.. Mooney He said he wa.~n·1 good. but I round ou1 01hcrwi,c. l put in one ball on 1he break and had on early lead. Bui Moony rallied and pu1 me away. I wa.s dropped 10 the losers' bracket Bair played Beck. Bair broke and pu1 in the first ~ix b:llls, and I saw jusl how good he was. Bui Beck came 1igh1 bock and ~mnckcd in five. bu1 he needed a pcrfecl gnme to win and he did no1ge1 11.

Bol r played Mooney (who btnt me}. and B:11r

almost ran 1he board on him. Af1er he mis~ed, Mooney said. "Thanks for the opportuni ty." in a sarcns1ic 1one. The game was soon over, and Bair moved on.

Beck played in 1he losers' brncke1 againsl Erik Oottons. Beck was on fire and put in 1he las1 six balls in a row 10 adv11nce. I won my first lose rs' brackel game against Josh Taylor. and my next opponent was Beck. r was nervous and I broke, putting in a solid ball.

Beck said, "Way 10 go."

I s1ancd chalking up my Slick, nol knowing why: ii jus1 mode it look like I knew wha1 I was doing. I 1hen called 1he four ball off the wall on n combinnlion wi1h 1he live and into the side pockcl (n little pool lingo I learned from 1hc boys). I concenm11ed and hil i1 "ith jus1 the righl speed. To my suprise the ball went in.

We played even for a while, but 1'-.is reporter realized he wns no1 going to be the one making the news in this siory as Beck knocked in the 8-Bnll as I still had one ball remaining on lhe tnbl: . I congmiulatcd him as he advanced on.

Deck conllnued his run 1hrough the losers' bracket, bcn1ing Mason Hiatt, Bill Bun and Doug DeMoss.

Dair also beat DcMoss. which lefl just Beck and Bair to play again. Beck needed 10 wi n two in a row 10 win lhC lillC, The first gnmc saw Dair put in 1he first five balls, bul Beck made 1hc next four and rnllled after Bair missed the 8-bnll. Dair gave him a chance, and Beck capi1nlizcd as he knocked in lhe las1 two 10 force a deciding 1iebrcnkcr championship.

Nol 100 many people were ler1 10 wilness 1he laM gnmc. A friend or Bair, Taylor, Hiall (who wu, playi ng ping-pong) und myselr were nil 1ha1 were left in the SUB as ii approached 5 p.m.

Deck broke and pul in 1he majonly of the first bolls. lie chalked up his stick on every hil nnd lei ou1 a si@h ofter every shot He mode four in a row, each time leaving his ball In perfect posi1ion for 1hc next shot I now saw what he meant by planning ahead.

Then he scratched and yelled. "Oh, God!" Bair stepped up with his Inst run nl Beck. He made four in a row bu1srnuched before he could nuempl 10 shoot the 8-Bnll.

Deck would not lei nnoihcr opponun11y slip nwny as he pul in the las1 two balls for the win. Mier nlmc~l 1wo hours in the SV13. we had a winner.

The two winne rs shoo k hands. nnd Taylor prese nted Beck wi1h the cove1ed l ntrnmurals Chomp1onship T-sh1n h was a good dny for 1his sow rcponer bctausc I ~ay 1h01 I hud n s1ory: 1he young rookie beating the old ve1.

All's well with NIC dry well

by Paltlck Hoffer senbnel Reporter

NlC averted potential trouble when in filled in a dry well ad1acen1 to the Hedlund Building.

According 10 Idaho S101e Dcpanment of Enviromental Quality guidelines. dry wells are 10 be used on:y for rainwa1er runoff. In early August. a report was ordered on the well by the slate and NIC. According 10 the rcpon. which was done

by Howard Consultants or Coeur d'Alene and tested by Precision Analytis of Pullman.

100 mg/Kg ( 100 miligmm of deisel fuel per kilogram of din) of de1scl fuel where found in the sample taken. According 10 John Suthcrlond of 1he Dcptment of En viromentnl Quality. 1his is within the occep1able limns set by the s1a1e or Idaho. but the repon mode

by Howard CoMultams is unacceptable and will h3ve to be redone.

The 1es1 sa mple wa~ no1 token directly

from the dry well. but from a pile of din by d" D k the dry well. which. accor 1ng to ere Pohie of Howard Consultants, was "obviously contJminated.. According to Mike Pearson of Percision Analytics. this could differ in results that would be found at the bottom or the dry well.

Since the Incident, 1hc well hn., been llllcd in with din and the old din wos disposed of according to ~late guideline, (,ource). A new system. which hns a holdin g tan~ for deisel and other contaminents. is 1n the process of being installed, according to Ocon or Public Relations Steve Schenk.

A final repon hos not been issued by the OEQ because the repon prepared by Howard Consultants was 100 vague os 10 where the test sample was taken, SutherlJnd srud He said 1he college's ac tions in correcung 1hc problem arc up to state standards. and very linle chance exits that anything will ha•e to be redone when the final rcpon comes out.

Computer expansion benefits NIC NIC vocational student club dedicates veterans' bench In 1991. the Vocational Student Club of NIC donated o bench and plaque 10 honor those from NlC nnd Coeur d'Alene who served in the Pm1onGulf.

The idea for the bench originated when the l!roup"s ,•ice prc(iden t, Brion Martin. was called 10 the Persian Gulf hm year Accordln11 to then -VSCNIC sccre1ory Catherine Pnnt1, the group felt II should honor, not only Martin, but the other< who \\Crc ',Cl"\'in11 m the Pcr~ian Gulf The bench is in 1he park bordered by the Hedlu nd Buitdm[!, Boswell Hall and the Sherman School Building. A plaque on it rends. "IN HON OR OF THE WOMEN ANO MEN FROM N.I C ANO COEUR 0" ALENE WHO SERVED OU R COU NTRY IN THE PERSIAN

GULF 1990-1991 VSCNIC 1991."

They ordered the brau from a Spokane company, Prlntt said. because they could not find a local supplier. The NlC machine shop finished the plaque' s edges ond Evcrson·s Jcwlers engraved it. Prin1z said they chose brass because they wan1ed something 1ha1 would last.

While scorching for a bench. Printz d1scovtred 1h01 NIC had already planned to place benches around 1he campus VSCN IC orran@ed to purch05C one. The honorarium bench was the lirs1 10 be placed on campus Total cost for the bench and plaque wo\ obout S7S. she said.

The di1ches that have been dug through the NIC campus now con1ain a new kind of buried treasure. condu11 pipe for fiber op1ic cable.

The cable will be pulled through in October. and the Siebert and Sherman Buildings, Boswell Hall. the Hedlund Vocational Center and the new library will all be able to share information and ttthnolOBY by January. The condui1pipe will carry wire for phone lines a~ well as the cable. which ,s the size of a humim hair.

The new library will hove five new bays. each containing 24 pcr~onal computers. all connected 10 a file serH:r. the He" lctt Packard Vec1ra 486/33 Mhz processor. which has the capobillt) of handling 100 acthe compu1crs simul111ncously 3nd con be connected 10 up 10 200. This computer 1s about the size of a t"o-<lruwer tile cabinet, only taller and thinner. and '"could operate in a clo~c1. although we'll 1nke belier can: of it than 1ha1," said Ne1"ork/Sys1ems Manager Michael Lasher.

The Vcctru will replace the current file

server. which ls 20 times biuer. and needs an air-cond111oned room and 220 volts to opct'llte. A "gigabyte disc" the siu of a tape player is 1he equivalent of 1wo NIC now u~es, each exactly the siz.c of a 1wo-dra11<cr tile cabinet.

Next yeo.r computer services. which hllS been ta.king advantage of the GTE digs for much of the installation. hopes to pull the cable to the old library, to Lee Hall and Sc11er Hall, v,,hich ase :ilrcady connected by a steam tunnel, and maybe even 10 the Student Union Building. By JMuary. NlC will also h3ve purchased an updated sof1wllIC package called IRJS (lntegnued Records In formation System), which NIC Computer Systems Analyst Ch:lrles Cahill soys v,,tll speed up the now of information.

"II' s part of the solution to ma long registration less painful for s1uden1s," h: said, '"but it won't be ready un1il next year.

Cahill 1s working full ti me 10 prepare software that will transfer data, such as historical transcript data for all students, from the old system 10 the updated new one IRIS will also pro,•ide more 1nforrna11on 10 management and :ldminisiration.
