0PINION·EDITORIAL Tbs: Pulse or The Sentinel's Conscience Edited and Designed by Lori Vivian

6 THE CAREFUL APPUCA TION OF TERROR IS ALSO A FORM OF COMMUNICA7'/0N

Marijuana possible answer to world problems if legalized In the Inst is~uc of the Sentinel I wrote a column arguing for the lcgnlization of recreational drugs. with the idea rhnt freedom is more impor1an1 than moral concepts.

Thi~ column will argue for the legaliz.ation of hemp (mnnjunnn) on the bnsb of practical. not recreational uses.

Hemp hn~ been u~ed in muny ways thnt have bencliucd our parent>. grandparents and \O on... Levis jeans used 10 be made from hemp, the ropes on the ships Columbus came to America on were made from hemp, the parachute that President Bush (the man thnt ~tancd the "war on drugs") used to heroically jurnp from a plane in World Wnr 11 wn~ made from hemp. the Bible w.is once printed on paper made from hemp, and the lir~1 drafts of the Constitution of the United States were printed on paper mndt' from hemp.

Alex Evans Why was hemp u~ed instead of Opinion wood-pulp or couon?

Bccau~c hemp 1s cheaper. easier 10 grow and harvc~l. it hns more nnd monger fibers thnn \\ood pound for pound and they could smoke the lcnvcs for a high unlike ony other.

• On aoniinual yield bn~is an acre of hemp will produce 4.1 times the useful fibers of wood.

• Growing hemp produces more oxygen thnn 1rccs.

• 1-lorvestmg hemp takes less energy 1hon trees or couon.

• Hemp can be grown closer to processing plonts, which reduces the burning of fossil fuels 10 haul the stuff oround.

• Fossil fuels will no longer be needed because more ethyl alcohol can be processed from hemp than from com.

• All or the medicinal uses of hemp hnvc not been discovered, but it has been found to reduce the symptoms of emphysema nnd ~omc times nsthma.

Why is hemp illegal~ Because: no one wants it to be legal. The paper companies hove invested millions or dollars 1010 horves1ablc fore,1 lnnd. The people 1hn1 deal marijuana don'1 want it legal becau~c they mol.e more money with ii illegal. The right wing conscrva1ives don't hove the ability to think or reason so they believe what thcy·rc told, and the public is the snmc way.

Jus1 thinl., the ~polled owl would be saved nnd all of those fomilic< that ore supponed by 11mbcr dollars could Stan growing hemp to suppon them,elvcs We wouldn't have people murdering each other over a plant. because they could buy 1hc ,ruff inn cignrcne machine. No110 mention. peace on canh would he achieved when our leaders smoked j peace pipe together.

Assuming that marijuana will contribute to world peace or create a million jobs moy be pushing things a linlc, but the advantages crcnaiply S(Cm 10 outweigh any contrived disadvantage\ that ··B1g Brother"' could throw in, so write a feller to your congressman.

Mud-slinging, Japan-bashing unbecoming to American public "Off with their heads!"

This was the verdict of Alice,in-Wondcrland's Queen of henns whenever someone dared to Insult her.

"How dare you find fault with my kingdom? How dare you voice on opinion? Yes! Off with their heads!" was the decree from her mock coun.

Of course we understand the queen. she ruled in a land of mnke-believe where reality was disioned. Wlmt we cannot undcrs1nnd is why a land boscd on freedom of 5peech (among other freedoms) would take the same illogical stand.

America the strong. the beautiful, the land of freedom is in nn uproar over commenls made by the Japanese. How dnre they call ui ln:ty? How dnre they insult our our companies? How dare they exen:ise our right to freedom of speech?

We are supposed 10 be an example for s1r11ggling democracy cve.rywhere. Yet, America is behaving like a spoiled child by slinging mud and throwing a media-covered temper tantrum because of an argument on the playground.

Are we, as o country, so wenk that we cannot shake off a few controversial s1a1emenis made by a Japane5e official?

Arc we so hypercritical 1h01 when the Japanese voice their disagreement, we have to take our toys and go home? Are we so blind, 1ha1 we cannot admit that some painful lrllth may be behind those s1a1emen1s?

Over the course of history. America has ignored name calling, lent her suong arm in defense of freedom for other countries nnd bttn honest enough 10 face her mistakes.

It 1s ume to remember this and net accordingly.

We rc.-cogni:te the poli1ical expediency of allowing the finger pointing or America's problems. especially during an elcc11on year, to continue. We realize the undenaking of another forcign policy "crisis" will create a suong political platfom, for our rearlc5S leaders 10 stnnd tall on. Oh. yes. we grasp the imponance of having someone else 10 blnme for the recession, unemploymcnl and other domestic problems deemed 10 be political suicide.

The Queen disabled her prcy with n mock court.

America disables her prey with the press.

A~ students, we are the future of our country. We carry the torch of cnligh1enmen1 and arc the watchdogs of our government. It is our responsibility 10 take notice of what is happening around us and to keep nlen. We should not allow ourscl,.es 10 be blindly led. .

We cannot ignore the imponance of a tmde balance with Japan, but encouraging a trade war will nol achieve !his balance. It will simply undermine our already failing ttonomy. An agrccmcnt cannot be established if no one is talking. An understanding cannot be met if no one is listening. Compromise cannot be achieved without harmony.

The future is ours. ii can be II place wonh visiting or a trip 10 the Mad Hanus tea pany.

Opinion 1

Humor at Hagadone's expense misses reader's funny-bone

NIC students lack respect for freedom of expression

Dear Editor, I recently read in your paper an article on political correctness concerning blond-bashing where the statement was made that "nothing was put on this earth for us to laugh at except maybe Duane's noating green" While the author of this piece found it abhorrent and degrading to tell blond jokes, it is apparently okay to tell Hagadone jokes.

Why don't you apply your politically correct views evenly across the board and give everyone (yes, even Duane) the same courtesy you would give blondes. minorities. eel.

Mr Hagadone has done more for the city of Coeur d'Alene than any liberal journalism student could hope to. Give him the respect he has earned and deserves.

Sincerely, Larry R. Cain Coeur d'Alene resident

Dear Editor: Whoa, wait just a minute, am I not on a college campus in the wonderful U.S. of A.? Is not the freedom of speech a right I have as an American citizen? I have been polite, quiet, and friendly the whole time I have been of campus, however I recievc jeers, comments, and laughs from my fellow students for the way I dress. I cannot ask you to accept me, but I can ask you to respect my . freedom of speech. I have done nothing to you and those who know me can tell you I'm a prcuy neat person. I realize there are people who are very insecure about themselves and have some sort of need 10 put others down, but laws on campus and laws in our state prevent them from doing so. I realize some don't respect either and don't understand what they are spitting on. I'm not going to tell you what our nation stands for, but I want you 10 know how lucky we all arc. I know how lucky I am and I am secure as a person. I know what I want and who J am. I hope some day you who laugh will learn who you arc, until then I wish you the best of luck.

Aaron Y. Jones

Mapplethorpe is art-so is abortion Dear Editor: I hear all these pro-abonion people protesting the sign. Don't they realize that it's a fom1 of free speech? These people don't even ninch at the thought of an aborted fetus but let someone disrupt their day with a "nasty" sign and watch them come unglued! I wonder if the same type of liberal hypocrites would censor the Mapplethorpe photos?

I hear proponents of abortion say that abortion is just reality, and yet they shrink from the reality of the brutality of the act.

Wake up, the sign is reality--or is it art'!

Aggie Symms

Reader questions editorial policy Dear Editor: How come my letters are never printed?

Try signing them ... £d.

Read the fine print on the contract

of life

As a member or Publications Club. 1 worked a1 1hc Book Swap held the lirs1 1hree days of 1he semes1er. During the process of checking books in and selling books. I hod the opponunity 10 observe people.

What I sow coused me no small omouni of concern.

To re[!1s1er books. sellers filh..'<I out an index-sized card. On the back of the card is a contrncl with Book Swap 1enn~ :ind 1n~1rucuon~ 1clling people 10 dc1~nnme 1he price of their Patricia Snyder book~. the 11moun1 l'f commi~~inn for u~ing Opinion 1hc S" .1p, where ,ind when lhc unsold books and/or chl>t:h may be picl.cd up . .imong 01hcr things. Below 1he 1mn~ i\ 11 linc ror the ,ellcr110 Jute und ~ign. ind":11ing they undcrsrnnd and agree 10 the 1cnm. llduw 1hnt line " one 1h111 rends: "The um.ler.tgncd ucknowh:dges recc,p1 of ~II book.~ ;ind/or monies owned by Publications Club.''

It ult se.:mc:d fairly ~ctr-explnnntury to me.

People would come in nnd whoever wa~ 01 the iablc would explain how 10 lill 1hc card out and ~ay, "Then 1urn the card over and \ign i1."

I wns nmJ£cd a1 1hc number of people who did no1 \ign th~ bud, of the card. Ea.~ily 80 pcrccni or 1he people who brough1 their cards bacl. hud to be tuld to \11.1n 1hem.

But 1hu1 1\n'1 what bo1hcrcd me. I' m forge1ful.

I can accep1 _1hut maybe 1h.:y for1.1oi to "!!n 1hc card. Maybe they ju,1 didn'l turn i1 over und ~ce lh( contrac1. Whal bothered me is that 1h.: majority or the pcople who didn'1 sign 1hcir card unlit u1 the 1ablc 1urned i1 over and signed ii immediately.

Wi1hou1 reading 1hc contrnc1.

Now, maybe lhcse people ac1ually did rend the con1rnct while preparing their cards. Maybe they .1us1 forgot 10 sign 11. Ah hough, 1ha1 is rather a disparaging comment on 1he obstrva1ion powc~ or college srudenrs. How can one r(ad 1hc con1rnc1 and miss 1hc link line right under i1'!

More likely, 1hese people did not even look at the back or 1he card. They couldn'1 have read 1hc con1rac1 before sig ning it a1 the table: 1hcy didn·t have 1hc time.

Judein& from some of the questions I aMwered-information thal was printed on 1he back or the cards these people had .1us1 sitmedl'm inclined 10 believe they didnt have a clue a.s 10 what 1hey were signing.

'Razor' cuts deep into oneself

by Ale~ T. E,·a11S Advertising Editor Sometimes rm in the mood for o good drama, one that shows me another way to live from another persons perspective-and when I am. I like to watch one like "!'he Razor's Edge."

This i~ the story of n man (Bill Murray) se:irthing for himself after seeing the ravages of warns an ambulance driver in World Wnr I. He leaves his family, friends and linnet to go to work in the coal mines of France. There he reads many books and learns of the wonders of India, and he treks there 10 find "the answers," his friend s and fianc~ still wondering when he's going to get his life "together."

The only plot is somewhut obscure and tedious.

1

Murray's goal is to find his own happiness. but 1h01 doesn't become clear until very late in the movie and when he'( done with 1h01. the movie keeps on going un11l turmoil once ngoin invade\ his life.

The Indian scenery is mngnilicent. and the chnrnc1ers are nll thrcc.<Jimensionnl people that you'd like to meet. with interesting lives of their own that nrc only hinted m. And when Murray has his rcali1ations. they're mine also: it is the true vicarious experience that all movies should bring forth in the audience.

Though thi s movie has its faults and you could almost rast-forward through so me of it. it', an experience worth having and I st rongly urge anyone who likes a deep movie to go to the video store and see it for yourself.

It is an extension of a talc we all grew up with called ''Peter Pan."

North Idaho. Washington, Southern Canada and Western Mon1ana offer some of the bes1 skiing in North America. whether ii be downhill or cross-country. according 10 Powder Magazine.

Within 75 miles of Coeur d'Alene are li\'C resorts. Schwcl11er and 3ilvcr Mounrain are rn1ed with the best in 1he country. Skiers pay a $20-$30 10 ski 01 thc~e two great mountains.

Some other non-skiers could say, "I'm scared 10 go skiing because of the high speeds." However. a person never needs 10 go fas1er than he or she desires. The skiers shown on television are only 1he bcsl skiers in the world.

NlC journalism ins1ruc1or Nils Rosdahl went skiing for the first lime in his life 11151 Saturday and said 1h01 he loved ii. If he can do it, anyone can do ir.

Career center urges student action Do you need help in career deci~ion making?

According to Don Bjorn. coun~eling services Intern. "\Ve try to put off thi s difficult decision a, long as we cnn. Thot is human nature. but ,ooncr or later the 1.juestion catches up wilh u~ again."

Student Union Services on 1hc second noor or 1he SUB offer career information.

Bjorn said 80 percent of the worker~ in America are "under-employed," working beneath their poten1inls or in areas they nre not mtercsted in.

'1'hcy endure. this ~ilent majority, li\•ing

for their weekends and vacations," Bjorn said.

Bjorn said there 1s still another op11on.

"You cnn take charge of your career.

Career decision making can be enlightening, empowering and fun, Bjorn said."

BJom said technicians and related suppon occupa11on~. such as !hospital technicians. computer programmers tmd paralegals. arc projected to grow by 3,2 percent by the year 2000: wherea.~. occupations m agricullure, fishing and forestry are projected to decrease by 5 percent.

Bjorn believes 1he sl11ft of emphasis

results not necessarily in a loss of work, but n change in the type of work. ''For example, manual labor in forestry declines. but hydrologists. wildlife technicians and conservation coordinators increase," Bjorn said."An ideal job might well exist for each of us. bu1 to find it. we must become thoroJlhly aware of ourselves and the career options avmlnblt: to us."

The Student Union Services provide testing 10 better understand yourself, your in1eres1s. your values, your skills and n career center for exploring thousands of career opponunilies.

Busing services may become part of NIC A suilllblc bu~ route for NI C students i~ being sought by the non-ptoli1 organization Nonh Idaho Community Express.

The 1hrcc new routes

Institute focuses on inquiry process

by Mabel Kosanke Sentinel Rcponcr "We need to look at mewing education beyond 1he mere accumulation of disjointed skill s. The heart of education lies in the processes of inquiry. learning. and thinl..ing."

(From 1he DELPHI Report. 1990. prepared for the American Philosophical Msocin1ion.)

The Nonh ldnho College faculty and s1nff are s1riving 10 meet thi~ goal for their stude nts. Faculty members Milt Turley {"elding ins1ructor). Vera Mnnrim (English inmuctor). Terry Jones (music inmuctor), and Jdmlnhtrntor Lindo MJxwell Silva (director of c,,cning. summer. and offcampus credit program~) recently panicipated in a week- long Critical Literacy IMtitutc held in Chicago. The ins1hute, hosted by Oakton Community College und funded by an AACJC/Kellogg r:oundation Beacon College grant. was an intensive. inter-disciplinary e~plora1ion of strategics. activities, and nppronches to be used in promoting critical litt~rncy on college campuses.

In addition 10 Oakton Community College and NIC. ~even other colleges sent representath•es.

"There were obvious difference~ among the various colleges participating 111 the lnsti tutc,"Silva said. "Some were huge coll~gcs from mc1ropolitnn areas with three or four different compuscs; some hod over I00.000 students enrolled; one had just 1.800

enrolled: all hod the snme concerns nbou1 quality teaching and Mudcn1 success. and seemed 10 sec cri1icul literocy as esscntiol 10 promC1ting these."

Focusing on 1he rut of 1enchi ng necessary to enhance critical literncy in courses across the curriculum, the ims1i1u1e covered issues such os: cogni1ive development: effects of !corning styles. gender, and cultural differences on teaching nnd learning: the use of writing, critical rending, sequenced n~signmcn1s, Socratic dialogue. and collaboration as tools for teaching critical thinking: nnd the different kinds of thinking requin.--d in disciplines ocross the curriculum. according to Silva.

"We're already doing some ou1s1anding things on our campus to promote critical literacy," Siho said. "We offer Philosophy 120-Logic and Critical Thinking: we·ve hnd several foculty me1111bers invo lved in a collaborative learning projec1: we· ve been ,•igorously pursumg the General Educuiion que,tion: numerous focuhy hove attended the Sonoma Critical Thinking Confc:rence; we've put much time ond energy into revitolizing the humanities and have been the rec1p1en1 of o healthy NEH grnn1 which has enabled us to offer the Montage course for students and the Sandberg Seminar ond the Colloquium for ins11uc1ors - · all th is to pro,·idc o better learning experience for th.: NIC student.

It 's obvious from the di.ilogue that

emerges from nil these efforts 1h01 cri ucol thinking is imponont ... the Critical Literacy lns1itu1c should aid us in mnking some connections. building some bridges 10 tic all these components together in u meaningful and focused way."

The Institute provided those who panicipated with the opponuni1y to acquire new strategies for creating "the cri ti cal literacy classroom,'' to consider and plan fur its development at NIC. to esiablish an ac1ive suppon network with 01hcr colleges acros~ the nation. and to identify NIC staff members who can act as resources for others who would like to learn more about critical thinking and cri1ical literacy.

The members who anendw th,: institute plan to meet with NIC President Robert Bennett and rCSp<!ctive deans to prepare n formal reporl for the Board of Trustees detoiling their c~periencc and how they hope to shnre ii with the college community.

They will be meeting regularly as a ,cam during spring semester 10 discuss the sharing and implementation of strategies and activities in1roduce.d at the 1nsti1uu:.

As of December 1991, 1he numbers of unemployed workers had risen by 3,300 bringing the number of unemployed Idahoan~ 10 35.100. The outlook for '92 is cautious. The employment rare is expected 10 rise midway 1hrough the year. but at a slow pace. according 10 the Idaho Department of Employment.
