Farming onl> 6 percent of the United State~ with hemp would provide :ill of America· s energy needs nnd end our dependence on fos<il fuel<. TI1e remarkable plunl is capable of producing IO tons per ncre in only four months and growing 10 heights of :!O feel or more each season.

One acre of cannabis hemp. in annuol r0ta1ion over a 20year period. would produce a.~ much pulp paper as 4.1 acres of trees being cul down nr1cr the \Orne 20-year pcnod.

How to survive your credit card

by Mobel Kosnnke Sentinel Reporter Mony people use credit cords; they come in handy. especially in on emergency.

However, that linle piece of plastic can become one big nigh1mnre.

A tip sheet concerning credi t produced by 1he College En1rance Examination Board contains some smart tips. according to Jille Shon~ar. director or financial aid.

Jr you hove o credit card or :ire 1hinkin11 obout gelling one ond want to keep your good credit rat in!!, some excellent advice from the College Board is: • Save them for a real emergency and pay off the entire amount you owe when you get the bill.

• VISA. MasterCard and department store credit cards ore actually hi gh-i nterest loans in disguise. You' II pay as much as 23% interest (finance charge) on the ponion or your bill that you don't pay off at the end or the month.

• You may have to pay an annual fee just for having the card.

• Finance charges, plus annuul fees plus

late payment fees add up. It's a vicious cycle; before you know it, you con only nfford to pay off 1hc monthly finnnl"c charge and never get rid or the debt.

Use credit only if you are certain you will be nble 10 repny your deb1. advises the College Board, and think 1hrough your purchase carefully before saying. "Charge it." Never, ever, use a credit card on impulse. Sove it for a real emergency.

Some early warning signs or trouble are: • You·rc borrowed to the mnximum or your credit limit.

• The amount you owe increases each month.

• You're barely able 10 make the minimum monthly payment.

• You 're using a credit card for essential living expenses such ns groceries and clo1hing.

• You ' re taking cash advances on your orcdit cards 10 make other credit card payments.

• You're spending 15 pcrceni or more or your monthly income on credit card payments.

Drive-through Banking: The "dues " and don 'ts for an easier banking /ife

by Kim Rozell Sentinel Correspondent Many banks have drive-up service to make banking more convenient for their customers. Drive-up windows often extended banking hours (opening c:1rlicr or later 1hnn the lobby), pro,•1dc faster service for quick transactions and give better access 10 people who find it phy~1catly dlrficult to walk into the lobby.

However, some customers complain of long drive-up line~. slow service and incorrectly processed trnMactions .

To make drive-up bnnkin11 an easier, more enjoyable experience, customers need to be informed of the purpose of driw-up and how 10 use this service. The following tips will help: l .J Drive-up windows arc the nine items or less Innes of banking. They are designed for ra.~1. simple transactions which arc very lim11ed.

2.J Do no1 stuff the drive -up canis1er with Jorge, heavy tmn~octions or a large amount of coins. This can damagc the cani"er or cause it to stop underground. as the air pressure which carries the cani\tcr cannot push heavy obj~ts. If it docs ~top. you may have to wait ~everal dnys to retrieve your trnn~action 1 3.) Limit your 1mnsac11on~ to three per car (limits vary, check your bank's policy) preferably 1wo trnnsuctions on busy days (Mondays and Fridoys).

4.) If you have more than one transacuon

sepa rate them by using paper clips, not staples.

5.) You can1101 purchase cashier'~ checks, traveler's checks or money order~ at the drive-up. Nor con you make credit card cash advances or large cu rrency deposits. Tine reason is these trans~ctions are 100 time consumi ng 10 process quickly and remember the customers behind you.

6.) Be prepared. If you do not hove your accoun t number, proper identification. deposit slips or payment invoices. it will be easier 10 go inside the lobby where n teller can spend more time with you.

7.) Ir you wish 10 cash a check, and you have no account with any bank. do not go 10 "nny bank's·· drive-up. Look at the check you wi5h to cash and go to the bank the check is drawn on. As long as you ho"e proper identification, the bank will cru;h it.

8.) If you feel there will be any problems with your transaction. such as: your idcntifica1ion is expired, the check you want 10 cash is not local. you want to purchase foreign currency or you are overdrawn, do not come to the drive-up. The 1ellers inside the bank ure trained to help you with more complicotcd maners. Be ownre, the purpose for the drive-up is speed and ease.

So, 1f you are on your lunch hour and in a hurry. use the drive-up. If you want 10 cash a personal check, make a simple deposit or change a hundred dollar bill-use the drh eup. The customer in the car behind you will be gnueful.

Ir collection agencies or your creditors are sending threatening lcners or calling you or if you arc headed for financial disaster and need help getting control over your financial ru1ure, some advice from 1he Board is: • Contact your family immediatelythey mny be wil ling co bail you out, this time. Discuss the si tuntion with your linancial nid adnuniwotor. He'll be able to provide guidance. Then, prepare to face your creditors. The worst thing you can do is avoid your creditors· calls and letters.

• Cut expenses. Stnrt with things like ea1ing out. movies nnd other rccrentlonal expenses.

• Work out o new payment schedule.

When you contact your ,:Jreditors. be honest - tell them why you can' t make your payments nnd the amount you can afford to pny each month. Once the new terms arc agreed to, you must stick 10 them religiously, or you may never get credit again.

• Rebuild your credit roting. To ensure that your ru,urc creditors do not

misinterpret your credit report, be sure to include a statement in your credit history that explains the circumstances of your restructured debt.

"11 is good advice because this seems to be a problem for students - managing their debts and credit cards:· said Shnnkar.

"I think the whole idea or debt or credit management is a life-long project."

Students who would like a copy of "Be Credit Card Smart," which covers the subject in more detail. moy obtain one from Shankar in the Financial Aid Office. located up~toirs in the Student Union Building. There ore only a few extra copies, however.

Another option is to contact the Washington Water Power Company and Con~umer Credit Counselin£ Service.

WWP"s credit counseling scn •icc will help you free of charge 10 nv01d major credit problem~ or find solutions to existing problems. A credit counselor is available on an appointment basis at WWP's Spokane General Office, E. 1•111 Mission Ave. Call 489-0550 to schedule nn appoin1men1.

This 1hree bedroom. 2 1/2 bath home features n view of Lake Coeur d'Alene from 1hc most rooms.

"This house is going 10 make someone a beautiful home," Sieve Schenk, dean of public relations. said.

The house. which 1s scheduled 10 be comple1cd by 1he end of Moy or the bepinning of June, has been apprnised a, $157,000, Schenk said. He said carpen1ry home projects arc funded by 1hc NIC Foundmion and any profits received arc retained by 1hc NIC Founda1ion for special progroms. They would like 10 se1 up scholarships for 1he carpeniry prog,am.

Cnrlson said lhe carpcn1ry program ~urned in 1979, cons1ruc1ing an 1,100 $quare root ponoble house in nn NIC parking 101.

S1udcn1s Byron Bra11on and Loren Longley said they were among 300 workers hud orr from Sunshine Mine on May 31, 1991. They shore 1hc same opinion 1h01 mining is unsiablc because of silver prices, nnd they ore glad 10 be in 1hc cnrpen1ry program s1an,ng a new career. They said when 1hcy were laid-off. they had a choice of reloca11ng 10 olher mine areas like Arizona or Nevada or laking up a new 1rndc here. They fe ll n gypos miner's pay is belier, but cons1ruc1ion is more stable. If me1al prices get low enough, they fell all mines in 1hc United S101es will shut down.

S1uden1 Juvier Hernandez said he was laid off from a mill in Colburn for four months before he was aware 1h01 1he mill provides suppon in ,•oca1ional 1roining like NIC's carpcn1ry program.

Carl~on said he is working on n program 10 help place the students when lhe program is comple1ed. He said he thinks his students will enjoy 1heir new ca rpentry career~. especially 1he miners who worked hard and hod a dangerous job.

"I wouldn"1 want 10 go a mile underground and wonder if I was going 10 come back up,"' said Carlson c~prcssing his personal feeling of teaching carpeniry.

Working as an undrapcd model may not sound like work to some. but Ahlquist counters thnt easily. "There's a bit of physical excnion involved in keeping Mill. with your weight shifted in funny place~."

But he harbor~ no illusions abom the cffon.

"It's nothing like those guys on the

wrestling team do: it's not thm I.ind of exenion If you've ever worked in fast food nnd stood all day long, you have an inkling."

But he cautions against considering work O\ nn an model. especially an undraped 11r1 model. "Professionalism is a must - you can't do without it."

The longest pose he's ever hdd, in one stretch, is for half and hour, and Ihm was one in which he was posing laying down.

"But I hold that pose for eight hours every night," he says.

Ahlquist says he experiments wi1h unusual poses. in order to provide the students with a more chnllcnging subject.

Residence hall spring games on the way

by Debbie WIiiiams Sentinel Rcponcr The need for pnr1ici pa1ion was stressed Feb. 18 when the Sheppard/G ridley Hall Programs Commi11ce discussed plans for the spring games between the Residence Halls and the Fon Sherman Apanmcn1s, which will be held Morch I downstairs m the Student Union Building.

"It should be a !!ood time if we can gel good paniqpation," said Hall President Jason Fifield.

A 101of people gave input and shared their ideas, said Sprini Games Coordinator Rob Danner.

The Programs Committee planned " pingpon11 tournament. a pool tournament, a pin ball 1ournnmen1, o plunger rnce inside and on obstacle

course outside.

The end race of the spring games will be the plunger race. according 10 Residence Assistant Tracy Hicks. Like the fall games, the team that earns the most points will receive the plunger as the trophic. Danner said, "(In the plunger race) the students sit on a scooter and push themselves along wuh a plunger," he explumed.

The Programs Commiuce planned to have a team cheer 10 end the ofternoon.

Music television on th~ large screen. food and drink will be provided in the SUB. Hicks said.

The Residence Halls will ho,•e to fi11h1 hard, accordin1110 Fifield "Our snowball's chances are be11er indoors than outdoors," he said.

"This is the first spring games."

Hicks said. "We're hoping to start a

tradition 1h01 can be carried on."

While the spring games were coordinated by Donner, the fall games were coordinated by Meegan Banh.

Bnnh said the most popular activities were the ice cream drop (students dropped icecream into their pnnners mouths from ladder). an obstacle course, the panty pendulum (students tied panty hose around their waste, with an orange in one of the leggings, end pushed o volleyball 10 the finish), the ''dizzy daisy" reloy, a food relay. the plunger race and a team cheer.

The Pro11rams Committee said they arc hoping for a big 1umou1.

"I think it's 1mponant for people 10 get in,•olved, because they get 10 know each other and feel more a part of this ins111ution." Danner said.

Activi~ts ore now clamoring for "l-ragrnnce-Free Zones." Now I'm willing 10 forgo dolphin Infested tuno. furs we can't afford, grape~ for a little while, and gorgeous. sexy suntans (OK so I burn). I am even willing to stand in the rain to fill my lungs with pollution so as not to offend.

But I will not forgo my perfume. I love my perfume. I love the smell .. the feel of wcruing ii. It makes me feel spccial ...spoiled ...and yes, sexy.

I am sorry for 1.he people wbo are allergic ro scents. Please feel free 10 move away from me if my perfume offends. Regulate depanmen1 store's "spritzer ladies" from spraying without consumer consent. But do not tell me I can·1wear my favorite scent on my own body.

What's next? scented soap? underarm deodorant? or how about feminine hygiene spray?

What about the people who find strong body odor offensive, don·11hey have rights 100?

Will the day come when we are told 001to ww red in public? After nll. the color red has been scientifically proven 10 cause aggression and hyper· activity in some people.

BUM REVIE

Hey, man ... this Local band releases first album, column is, like, Seattle band releases demo tape really profound

by Rich Ougg1111 Phoro Ediror

lllack Hnppy, " Friendly Dog Snlnd"

Coeur d'Alene·s Pacific Inland Records is off to a srrong stnn wirh its fir.,t relca.~e. "Friendly Dog Snlad ... by the local group Black Happy.

The gmup·s full -lengrh debut rape (with CD soon 10 follow) offers up 10 tracks of intricate, yet recklessly energetic new music. Songs such ns "One fine Automobile" display the parado~ical blending of smooth sa, with tricky beats and rhythms. and crazed, disroncd guitars.

Percussion instrumcnLs cut rhrough as trombones slide and draw you into "Such Much Suck," an interesting track wirh a bass line much in the "pop and slap" way. This highly modified rock band with horns and percussion isn't easy to describe. If given only one word, I would soy this sound is BIG. Where did this big sound come from? Ir would seem that Black Huppy went on o wicked looring spree of the entire specrrum of musical styles, took what they wonted back to rhc shop und rolled out wirh a machine never hcnrd of before. And whar if the poncd-0u1remains were found? Money ~nyb they won·1 •· Black Happy have rorchcd that shop.

They leave you 1101 quite uble to put your finger an wha1 came from 1vhere. but a1leas1 it nppenn; to be 1he best or 1he best and some brand new ~ounds 100.

To actually understnnd wh:11 all 1his is really nbuul, go 10 one of 1he mnny locally-owned music Mores nnd pick up a copy of "Friendly Dog Sa Ind." or even bcncr yet go 10 a lh•e ~how -Saturday.

Deemed lhe "Sennle Sound" and some as "Grunge," on en1ire wave of unusual bands is enjoying huge success in lhe U.S., Europe nnd much or the rest of the globe. While lnnn1able Soule is no1 cxac1ly hanging 1cn on 1hat wove ye1, there aren'1100 many reasons why 1hey souldn'1 be soon. Their five-song demo from Doily Quill produc1ions shows a genuine and unique sound 1h01 could rcvolutioniM: 1he world's idea of "alternative music." The nllemotivc to "alternative," if you will. It's a silly term. isn't it. though? Con,idcr 1ha1 it's supposed to describe Minis1ry. lhe Cure. a zi llion "Manchester bands," Fishbone. Jane's Addiction and Nirvana! Jus1what is the common denomina1or, anyway? Not what 1heses bands are. bu1 what they arcn'1 I gues~. So •. add lnOatablc Soule 10 this already diverse list and you'll cause even more confusion.

This happened to me recently. Somewhere along the spacetime continuum. somebody screwed up. Most heinously. I was accidentally issued 1he day of an Arabian camel dnver.

Meaning found in Robertson's music

by Tro, is De Vore As~istnnt Editor The search for meamngrul, thoughtprovoking music' with great hnm1ony nnd lyric content cnn ea~ily be subsided by purchasing the second solo nlbum by Robbie Robertson entitled "Storyville."

As a high school dropout, Robenson rec:cived his stan in the music business during a tour of the South with a linlcknown band called Ronnie Hawkins and the Hnwks. From ihis tour of the South Robenson formed n southern blues u11i1udc.

Eventually Robenson formed the legendary group known as The Band. in which he became the sole song writer.

When Bob Dylan wonted to change his ,mage from a folk musician 10 un electnc musicinn. he co lied on The Band 10 back him.

From there Robenson hns done various projects, which include everything from the movie about The Bnnd entitled '111c Last Waltz" 10 songs with U2.

This new production by Robenson.

"Storyville;· is inOuenccd by Robcnson's

I COFFEEdribble

ALBUM REVIEW initial tour of the South.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone. Robenson said, " It (the South) affected me 10 such a degree thut you can still hear it on this record I just made.

That was a long time ago that this happened to me, and I' m still working it out. like therapy."

The album "Storyville" is actually a com pilot ion of songs telling a story, just as the tit le implies. The album is based on a district in New Orlean~ that Robenson reels is "foll of music," and is actunlly called S1oryvillc.

The story told by the album is about "escape" and "discovery." It is about a couple 1lm1 meets when they ore 16 in Storyvillc, and it explains the emotions that the couple goes through.

'1'o me, Storyville is a state of mind.

It wns nlso the beginning of hot music. sensual music, in America." Robenson snid during an interview with Rolling

by Alex E\'ans

Stom:.

The album is not in chronological order. In foct the beginning of the story stnns on track four. entitled "Day of Recl.oning.'' The rest is for the listener to figure out.

The album is not full of guitar solos, even though lhnt is what should be expected from what the Rolling Stone labels as a legendary guimris1. When Robenson does let go and jam on his guitar. it is truly a refreshing and inviting experience in which he rnl..es us, especially during the song '·Resurrection.'' lns1cad of con~tnnt guitnr solos the album is based on solid and very emotional lyric~. The mu~ic will completely evolve the lislcn~r ond mny even cmo1ionolly c~hnu,11hc listener if given the chance.

The album complctcl)' ddic~ Top..iO pop music by excluding any catchy

$Ounds thnt mo~t one-hit wonders dwell on. The album is instead b.,,ed on harmony 1h01exi~ts only within truly mlented musicians like Robenson. This tolent 1s c~pressed 10 its fulle~t on the song "Hold Back the Onwn."

This talent alw exist~ wuhin the mu5ical guests that Roben~on has on "Storyville." On the song "Soop Box Preacher" Robenson is blessed with background vocal\ by Neil Young. Bruce Hornsby' s presence is heard on the song "Go Back To Your Woods" through the keyboard and bad.ground vocals. The Neville Brothers are also present on n s1gnilican1 number or the ~ong~ on "Storyville."

Robenson also uses his Mohawk Indian hcri1.1ge to his ndv,1ntage by including t"o chief~ of lbc Mardi Grns lndtnn tribe.
