"I like lhe leadership al lhe college. and I like the po1en1inl for growih in 1he area," Dennen said She is also very interes1ed in 1hc role 1he college will play in lhc grow1h of 1hc area. especially 1he voca1ional role.

Along wi1h growth will come change, according to Bcnnen.

These non-traditional students bring in a wenllh of experience th:u can be shared wi1h the other students of the college. and thus a learning process is developed for all s1uden1s. according 10 Bennen.

"When I have 1augh1 I have always encouraged 1ha1 openness and blending wi1hin lhc classroom." Benncll said.

Becau,;e of the changes brough1 abou1 by growth, llennell believes 1hot NIC will be used extensively for rciraining of people 1ha1 have already been pan of 1he workforce.

Tenure granted b1 Lori Vh'inn

fmuu,e Editor

The Tenure Comminee recently approved 12 focuhy mcmb.:rs for 1enurc.

The focuhy members thnt have be l!Jl!Oled

1enure 01 NIC arc: Jnck Blo:1:om. baseball coach. Rolly Oouchord, nccoun1ing, Walt CJrl~on. carpen1ry, Kay Nelson, business, Tom Price, machine shop. Mike Swain. au10 mechanic, Dole Tritten. m:uh. John Dunn, cl~c1ronics. Ka1hy Hendcrixson, nursing, Tim Rorick, 1hea1rc. Jim Straub, machine technology a.nd Pe1cr Zito. biology.

Each focuhy member goes through o fom1a1ive evaluaiion process during the year.

Tenure policy al NIC states 1h01 new facuhy members apply for tenure oner their founh year.

Each appllcan1 is evalunted by u faculty evaluation committee, which consists of two or more faculty mcmhers. the dlvi,ion chair and the academic or vocationa l dean. One faculty member on the cvaluntion team Is from the applicant's dil•ision, and at !cost one member is from the general f.lcuhy . The racully members are chosen by each other. allowing the process to be o fair evaluation among their peers .

The evaluation int'lude~ student, selr.

fonnauvc and summniw Cl'aluotlons of 1hc applicant. Arter these con~ide rmions. the commi11ce recommends one or three decision~: tenure granted. tenure advised or tenure denied.

If tenure is granted by the committee, lhe recommendation is sent to the president or the college. The president takes the decision 10 the board of trustees for final approval.

Unlike mosl colleges where tenure is !!f3n1Cd for 10 to 20 years. tenure al NIC is grnnted ror only live years. Arter the live years ha1•e expired. the foculty member repeats the process with 1he division choir and dean. The process is very similar. The only difference is the absence of general faculty members on the evaluation committee.

If tenure advised ls recommended, tenure is granted on a conditional basis for one year.

The faculty member at the end or that year repeats the process.

If 1cnure is denied. the focuhy member moy apply again for two consecutive years.

After the seventh year at NIC without tenure, the faculty member is no longer employed m NIC. The tenure comminee holds conference each year.

Recycling, paper usage addressed

by Porricin Snyder News Editor The College Senate nddrcsscd recycling and paper u<agc during its Feb. 6 meeting.

The Senote wo~ add ressed by Dean of Admin1s1ro1ion Rolly Jurge ns . Jurge ns expressed concern o,·cr the amount of paper being used on cnmpu<.

In an October memo. Jurgens snid rhc copy ccnrer in Lee H:111 mak.is nearly 25,000 copies each monrh or the equivalence of a srock of paper o,·cr 83 feet 1.111. E<rimating the number of studenrs nnd s1aff on campu~ at 4.000. he said the amoun r of monthly copies is over 107 pages per person.

Jurgens continued 10 express concern over rhc amount of pnpcr being used.

"We've got 10 cur bock on our amount of printing. We've gor 10 sran evoluo1ing whar we need,'' he said.

Jurgens s~id he docs nor wanr to be rhought of as n cop)•ing censor. Rnrher. he said, he wants 10 educalc people on wise copying choices. Por exnmplc, in~lrucrors could use transporencic< and overheads in class instead of hunding ou1 copies 10 s1uden1s, he sa,d. Other examples he gave included copying on both sides of n sheet of

paper. using half sheets and not copying items thot are not ncces~ory. He said he 1hough1 some instructors were copying things rather rhon having student~ buy them ar the book5torc. People moy not realize how much copying is going on. he s:ud.

"Hopefully, they'll stnrr asking themselves 'Should I copy this?'" he said.

Recycli ng was also an area of concern.

Jurgens e~umuted lc~s thnn I pcrcen1 of the paper used on campus is recycled. Wh ile somt' divisions and ins1ruc1ors have boAes for recycled goods, only the Studenr Union Buildin!! has oflic,al conminers.

According to Lanny Stein, director of auxiliary ~crviccs. a campus-wide recycling program will follow after a planned C!itywide program is put into pince. He said the implementation of the plan was necessary before campus-wide recycling is done because of the volume and cost of tran~porring all of NIC's recyclables.

Stein said the proposal for a ci ty-wide recycling pro(!rom using school~ as drop points wa~ presented 10 the college Dec. 16.

The Kt>otenni Co unt y Solid Wa~te Di~posal Deparrmenr would be responsible for tran~portmg the recyclables.

According 10 Stein, NIC is prepared for rhc 1mplcmen1a1ion of rhe program, including the purchasi ng of receptacle<. something each school involved in the progmm must do.

"Wc'vu got :1 pun:ha,e order rc:ndy 10 go," he snid. "By 1he foll owi ng dny, we had the (drop point) ~ires picked out," However, the program will not be implemented until at least June I. uccording 10 Paul Jncob~on of lhc Solid Waste Depnnmcnt because the proposal must go rhrough "all the ntcessi\l'}' channels," He said the Kootenai Counry Recycling Advisory Comm111ec hrL'> been discu~si ng 1he propo~al for over n year.

Jacobson soid they ore in the process of pu11ing together informnrion 10 tnl..c to the cou nty com nmsioncrs. something which they hope 10 do some time this month. Hc said. if the propo~al is upprovcd. the program would probably be in operation Aug. I or Sept. I. renlistically.

The reason for rhc delay is because many schools need 10 wait for nexl ycur's budget for the funds 10 purchn,c rhc rcccprncle,. and three-four months arc needed 10 ge t the recycling true!.. Jacobson ~aid.

Good morning, NIC students: How wonderful to finally hear your voice!

Congratulations NIC students!

After months of apathetic behavior. you have finally opened your eyes. taken note of your surrounding~. decided you weren't happy with what you saw and took a stand. Righi or wrong, good or bad, is be~ide the point. The point i,. NIC students have become concerned enough to voice their opinion.

La~t month the NIC campus felt the stirrings or political awareness when pro-life protesters picketed by the S1uden1 Union Building. Students chose a side, Mood by their decisioni, and verbally attacked or defended the protestcn.. QueMionl> were asked or instructors about the "rights or people.'' Al every comer. the bua or thoughts and opinionl. could be heard as students debated the bsuc~ or abonion and suitability of graphic tactics. For weeks, discusl,ions on morality were held over coffee and the occasional smoke in the SUB between clai.ses.

How long 1hci.e bsucs would have held the student's attention i"- a moor point. Before student interest could be lost. another issue reared it5 head and offered iiself up for protest. Maybe the campus was ripe for dissension, maybe the ,tudent frame of mind wa!> still fenile with the leftover seeds or the abortion h.suc or maybe it was something as simple as the early spring weather s1imng the juicei. of awareness.

Who knows?

The fact remains. students on campus were once again drawing lines. taking sides and voicing an opinion. Pe1i1ions were being passed around and signed. signs 1acked up by

one side and tom down by lhe other and once again the"rights of people" were questioned. This time the buawords were smokers rights. second-hand smoke, compromise and discrimination. The campus is still locked in disbutc over the smoking issue. Hopefully. these experiences have planted the seed that grows into a tree.

Student enlightenment is an imponant aspect of learning. The issues are important and should be addressed.

Whether you arc for or against an issue is beside the point. The point is: to save the world you have 10 play an active part in it. For your voice to be heard, you have to let it ring loud and pure. To make a difference, you have 10 care. Thank you. NIC students. for finally recovering from your laryngitis of apathy.

LETmRS TO THE EDITOR

Protester sends special thanks to Sentinel staff

Student offers opinion en 'zealot's rhetoric'

Editor.

I would like 10 ex pre~\ my thanks for 1he phOIO$ and aniclc on rnctics of anu-abonion pro1es1crs in 1he January iS<;ue of the Sen1inel. The dcmon~1ra1ion~ pu~)Sc was to bring ancntion 10 01hcrs on human righ1s.

Hov.ever. the graphic display of an ahoncd baby was 100 much to stomach for many. Ye1. one Indy stepped forward and confessed." I wish you were here 10 years ago, I would not hove had an nbonion. Keep up the good work." She said she hnd overcome her gui lt through 1hc avenue of forgiveness in Jesus Chris1, 1here is always hope for a new life Jflcr.

Ir one person was persuaded not to hove an ahomon it wns wonh ii. just 1hink 1h01 baby could hove been you.

I would llkc 10 say how sorry I am if I offended anyone. I most ccnainly don't advocate slopping people in the face 10 ge1 1hcir a11en1ion My expression wos meant 10 say "This poster is like o slnp in the foce." Thank you for listening nod your liery responses. /\men.

Chnstophcr Byron

Editor.

OK. hcrc·s the synopsis: Pro1es1crs walk around 1hc sub. distribute anti-nbonion propaganda and hold court in the lobby with whn1 some might cnll a disgusting. herald of dead baby pictures. So the nnti-nhonionist sin1ed their opinion by s1icking it my face. bu1 they didn't ask me for my opinion.

Well here's my opinion: I couldn' t care Jess if abomon is legal or no1. If a woman wams an abonion, she'll lint! a way to get it one way or another. End or debate The issue here is 1hn1 I'm personally offended by you (meaning the protesters) pushing your un-cnring opmion on me with all the lire and zeal of the Grand Inquisitors.

First of all. in regard 10 the 10 the linle poem which wus pnssed around by the on1i-ahonionis1. if I want 10 read 11ood poc1ry rn pick the sclec1ion.

Second, if I wan1 a philosophy, rn choo~ my own. and ccnainly not toke my company with a pack of zealot~.

Third. if I feel the need 10 have morals. I'll pny someone 10 have them for me.

Lastly. if I want your sanctimonious opinion, I'll bc111 ii ou1 of you.

Sincerely.

Smoker sick of disrespectful discrimination l:duor, I am writing to prmest the recent ly enforced tlecis1on of di,crrmrnat1on handed down by the Board of Tru\tccs.

For those of u, who smo l..c. our study group< suffer d1<rup11on. our reloxa1ion time is spent <h1vering and I canno1 begin 10 exp lain the feeling of inferiority that creep) up hehind me. as I \\ Otch those who nre free from the habit mingle comfortably in)idc the sub.

MoM smol.cr< trul y wish they could quit. Many have tried repeatedly, bu t nico11nc ndd1c11on 1s comparable 10 heroin in,ofar ,I< powcrft I addic1ion, go. We arc often left wonder in g abou t our lack of will -power and \\Cal.ncs~. when cffom 10 quit pro, c unsucccs,ful.

Just ye<tcrday, I fell discrimination when an ins1ruc1or I.aided wuh me about my pltght. Wh en I <pol..c of my comn111mcn1 to fight bucl.. I was laughingly told that I would probably be dead from my habit bdorc I could mukc

a change 1n the law. I lound it hard 10 laugh. I wa< appu lled at the apothcti c approach thot I was encou raged 10 take by another instructor 10 whom I went 10 for advice My list of quc~taons went un.rn\wcrcd ,as he spoke without room for mterruptionof the sys tem 1hu1 couldn't be bucked.. Is n11ninmen1 of knowledge about the democrati.: process not one of tht goa ls ac hieved by n college cducn1ion? Or are the goa ls of nn education lim ited 10 lessons in ~ubrmssion? I refuse to surrender without a strugg le.

The future gc nerntions may someday be proud of n smo ke-free ~oc iety. and I support their efforts 10 change 011i1udcs na1ionwitlc. But for now, n minority of ,mokcrs \ till exist from the pa~• and we deserve the ri;,pcct of a decent place at school h> sit and stud y or relnx during the one, two or five hour spans between da~$cs.

NIC senate decides to conserve resources Editor.

A resol ution supporting paper conserl'nti on nnd general recycling was passed unonimou,ly by the NIC Senate at its Feb. 6. meeting.

The Senate directed all members of 1he college com munil )' 10 make wise use of the resou rces consumed on campus.

Sentinel sacrifices credibility with muckraking Dear Editor, Regarding your article nbou1 mnrijuana legnliza1ion wri11en by Advertising Editor Alex Evans, I w3s amazed n1 how the Sentinel could sacrifice its nobi lity for cxcellcni journalism for the "muck" Evans has wri11cn.

It was interesting rending about all of the different product) hemp wa; used for long ago, bur a~ 1hc article progressed so did El'ans' credibility.

His constant compari$OO of hemp and timber products in terms of their industry was wuy off. I 1hinl E\'3nS <houltl review his facts about how he feeb the hemp market could replace the wood and paper product~ industry in the United S1nte\, Wood products tHO\\ nnturully. How could 1,:ro" ing hemp he chcoper?

A time to enjoy Life wirh friends Until suddenly The momcnr ends.

Exploring lhc limits Of 1hc mmd, Dreariness once again Lef1behind.

And JUSt when life Bcgiru pressing in, It all rakcsa rum For the bcuer again.

Returned 10 the ma~scs The mfotuauon passes, Bui you recover 1hc ball And re-hear life's call.

I have work to do And bills 10 pay, Where did che sunshine Go to<la)•1

A discussion, a study group, A paper well done...

TH the impending future Says that life has begun.

A meeting of chance A hint of romance Spring fever returns, And energy burns.

The ups and chc downs The smiles and frowns, Each moment is giving The experience of living.

Nothing lef, Bue ram and clouds, Books and fighting The parking crowds.

What will I be!

Where will I go!

Can I be what I dream!

Will time make it sol

Donne les cadeaux d'amour 'Give the gifts of love'

by Potriciu Snyder

News Editor Valcnune·s Day, trJdiliotwlly the time of hcanfelt ronrnnce and moonstruck cndett\'Of"l., can become a time for frantic fibrillations when the subject of gifts is nddrc~sed. llowcver. hope lingers for the romanticolly endowed but unimaginative.

Candy. the common Valentine's Day offering, can ,ometimcs be accepted with mixed feelings. In a diet-conscious society. candy carries an air of taboo. An alternative 10 the pound-invoking sweets could be found inn local health foo<l siorc. If one's object of affection harbors no hang-ups obou1 munching the traditional chocola1e.,. though. don't hesitate to choose candy as an expression of fondne,~ .

Another traditional gift on the day dedicated 10 love is perfume or cologne. Howe,•er. unless the beloved adveniscs a brand. the giver may find a surprising gap in his or her 1as1cs as compared to the wearer's.

A similar problem surrounds the gift of jewelry. The receiver may fed obligated to wear a disliked ornament out of devo1iun to the giver. While certain stand-bys like diumond earrings (make sure she or he has pierced ears) and gold chains ore timeless, be sure or his or her iastes before broaching other jewelry genres.

The condlt:'light dinner can be modified to suit the cook's ability.

While an elaborate meal is one method or creating a mode of romance, even pina con be romantic if served in the dim light of a nickering name. For those who prefer to leave the mess for someone

else and who can afford ii, dining out is always an option. Be sure to make reservmions early for those re\tnurants 1h01 require them.

After a meal or a, an alternative to it. a walk under the stars or through the sunlight tan be very fulfilling. Benefits include exercising, taking the time to sec places that ore usually viewed through the window of a fast -moving cur. or are newr see ot all and the relationship-healthful ac1ivi1y of ~pending time together.

However. spending time together should not Ix: limited to going for a wall... Spend the day. or as much or the day thm is fr~e. doing whatever bring, joy 10 the coupled heans. TI1is could be as simple ru, talking over cuffcc or as complex ns the imagination.

For those who want to give more than lime, somelhing that comes from the hcan is always the best gift of all. Whether funds are abund~nl or limited, the time and cffon or something handmade is usually the best Valentine of all.

Instead of buying a card. gather material\ nnd make one.

Something as simple as a cons1ruc1ion-paper hcan with a favorite poem copied onto could be treasured for years tu come. Poetry books are available at the library. or try writing one. Ver,c from the heart can sometimes mcun more than Tennyson's best.

Gifts can be as simple as doing a chore or giving a hug.

Remember that Valentine's Day celcbrdtions do not have to incluJc a <hopping spree (although that is an option) but should be somctlung that i~ an act of love.

Sometime, expressing love can be taking the time to discu,, (or practice) with a loved one ah~tincnce nod <afo ,ex. Thi, V.1Jcnrinc\ Day could be the time to gi,c a box of condom~ 10 a friend a, well a, lingerie to a mate.

• ------Truth or dare in the '90s

by Christine LnBang Sentinel Rcponer Only a few years ago, sexuality wns not a household word. Mothers handed their teenage daughters a small booklet on the facts of life. and fathers had a small father/son one-sided lecture on gelling girls pregnant and their ~on's responsibilities. In school there was a 10 1or !lining between the sexes. but the con~c4ucnccs of the relationships were laid on the female· s doorstep.

So whut's chongcd? Thc con~cquenccs :m: now AIDS and death. including pregnuncy. Reality is that AIDS doesn't dbcriminate between the sexes. h preys upon the unprotected or both genders.

So what cl~e hns changed?

One rea l change Im~ been in the freedom :md uvai lnb1lity of binh control for women. The days or painful nnd embarrassing visits 10 the gynecologist for personal binh control methods arc over. Ovcr-thccountcr hinh control. ,uch a~ sponges. ,per1111cidc nnd condoms. nrc readily ,l\•ailuble. A quid, trip to n health center will outfit a l) irl'~ nn<'nal of birth control without p,1rtntnl con,ent. A new frmulc condom i, \\;lltinl) for the Food nncl Drug odmim~tmtion, nppnwal "hich \1ould maf..c it even more obminnblc for fcmoles 10 prc,•cnt . prcgnonC) and di,ca,c!>. Women nrc more '.n contml of their own choke, and pro1cct1on.

How \\C percci,e our ,e\Ual roles h:i~ clmnl)Cd, Men nr.: not neccssnrily the domimmt panner. Men nnd women arc not onl) becoming equal in the bedroom hut in the ch\iia~ and decisioM leading them there.The era of Mnpic John,on-typc conque~t, arc over.

IL' th,• 1,mr or pa!>l e,pttrienccs pla), nn incrCJ\lng r\llc in ,cxual decisions According 10 Linda ~hd1nl, director or ~tudent he.11th "'r' ice,. "I rcJlly dun·t think ~cxuol mores h;1,c \'.bJng~. I thinf.. thnt peoplt are doing it "ilh a little morc renr. but I don·, thmf.. that AIDS i~ f..ceping them from being «·~u.il. c,pccially for the hetcrose,ual."

think that behavior has changed but many statistics an aniclcs ha\'e been written thm negate that thought.

According 10 a study done in ~pring of 1989 Adolescence Magazine on relationship patterns on a rnllege cnmpus,"Very few individuals are willing to forgo sex out or fear. Indeed. n considerable number have used contraceptive method~ that arc not only ineffective. but offer no protection against infection (withdrawal, rhythm method)." .

The relationship between human ~xualtty and intercourse is playing on increa$ing role in ~ociety.

"Sexuality i~ a pan or bow we respond to ou~clvcs and other people in our environment," ~lichol saiJ. "II involves an cmot1onnl ond psychologic.i l response and interaction wuh other people. Intercourse i~ different than ~exunlity ond cncompa~se~ some level cif intimacy but iii~ more than just sex:· Mi!Jor problem, have resulted with the clmngin!l attitude\ rc11ardin!! w,unlity .

"Student\ urc prarpltng with: Whnt d1,c, ,e,1mh1y meun'> llow do you tolf.. noout it'! Their own individual SCllu,1lity in trnn, ol. lmw do they define themselves u~ n ~cAuul being'.' Arc they hctcrosc,unl'1 Homo,c,u.aJ? l..(!,biJn'! and what does thnt mean to 1hcm? and how docs that fit into their program?"

Michal <aid.

An unofficial SUI" ey on campu, revealed student's lncf.. of concern with the danl)er or ~ex in the '90:.. The suncv randomly que<tioncd 50 female, and 50 nMlcs on th~ir condom use and ..exual act1vily. Most students didn't have a problem with sex on the lint date. and most females didn ·1 require that their partner wear o condom. t. Jen. on the other hand. felt that condom use wa, necessary .

One male student attributed an incrca.<e in condom ui>t 10 chnnginl) condom-use attitudes.

"It used to be. my friends would pitch in monl'y, nnd I would buy the condoms because I ".b the ~nly one who wasn't afraid to. It was either that or going into gamchall bathrooms with quane~. Generally now, J don't thmf.. men haven problem with bu) in£ condoms It's a nt.•ces(ity," he (:lid.

"Now. u·~ the sensitive: guy who buys" condom," a female student added.

The male stud~nt continued, "Before, \\d didn't think about venereal dbeascs or something li~e AIDS There "as no such thmg as AIDS

or herpes--just syphilis nnd gonorrhea, and off you po to the doctor. Whn1 we worried about was getting someone pregnant."

ChnnI?ing concerns may have hod the bil)gest impnct in the homosexual community.

According 10 Michal. "Studies have been shown that there ha~ been n decrease in multiple p:inncrs in the homosexual community ond in gay men because of the AIDS epidemic They have seen many or their brothers die. and they know thn1 it', real. ~o they have made beh,wior changes. I don't see or hc,1r thot th.it's hnppemng in mn,s m the hctcro~e;,.unl. I thin!. people nre ownrc. and I think it creates ~omc fear nnd ,1n;,.iet). but not neccs~nrily 1rnndem:d m10 bch,1vior change yet " Where scxunlny used to merely involve the opinion~ of rclo11onsh1p, "nh family und church, now 111n10l\'CS individuals as a whole unit. muf..ing indi,,iduol choice~ and dec1~ion, Cxci~ions that arc 11ed up in educauon and life ScA i~ not se~ual11y.

Discussion, ubout 1~ weekend. who said what. who did whnt,and what kmd of run wn.\ 11" arc hupp1:nmi; nt many places 01 once on campu~ daily. Men and women holding hands, touching. care~,inl), ll1ning. ~cuing dates, breaking dnte~. l)etung clo!.e. pushing away; all arc cxpcritncing lc~"°ns in sexuality
