Officers elected

by Justin Smith News Editor The new student board wns chosen by the Associated Studen t Body of Nonh Idaho College on April 23.

According lo ASNIC VicePresident Dave McKenzie, the number of people voting this election this semester was almost double that of las1 spring wi1h total of 209 people voling this semscster and 122 vo1es lasl year.

The final ially for 1he presidential 1ally was Chris1a Manis 136 agains1 Marc Ostman's 73.

The first morning of the election there were 91 ballots cast. bu1 those had 10 be discarded in the final tally due 10 allegations 1h01 one o f the officials of the election was trying 10 . swing the students opinions as they went 10 cast their votes, Manis said.

Ostman said, ''I'm upset that it happened in the first place; things like the election should be run by nonpanisian people. It was o fonn of campaigning and no Cllmpaigning should be done on election day."

"It is a problem, and I didn't want lo win by deafault." Manis said. "It wasn't here's a ballot, whatever you do don't vote for Marc." Manis said ii was more like friends recruiting friends 10 vote.

The sophomore senators neitt semester will be Pat Carne, Ryan Jones and Eric Nielsen.

Manis said she thinks that that ASN1C wiU be a team effort instead of a board.

"A lot of people say that ASNlC doesn't work. Well, it does: you just have to find the right people," Manis said.

Manis said that it was extremely difficult lo get people 10 run for ASNIC. There were two candidates for president, one for vice-president, 111d only four people ran for senator.

"We've had to kick, beg, and plead lo ge1 people 10 run for ASNIC this semester," Manis said.

Williams denies gender inequity Accreditation report suggests that topic needs to be addressed

by Danie Lewis and Justin Smith Senti11el Staff In response to gender equity questions recently raised by the accredi11tion team, Rolly Williams, NlC athletic director told the board of UUSICCS April 26 that he believed equity meant fairness and that he developed athletic programs as the need arose. ''When Title 9 first came about, lhe primary function was 10 address lhe issue of unequal opponunities; the gender issue is merely more focused in lha1 overall draft."

Williams said.

Williams said, his concern has always been 10 meet the needs of lhe srudcnis, and lha1 he is willing IO develop more programs as lhe need is expressed.

The driving force to making addition 10 lhe athletic program is interest, Wi))jams said.

"If we look at equality, then you will sec in our program al this point we have more men scholarships than women because we have five men spons and four women spons," Williams said. "The numbers can vary a linle bil and right now running with scholarship people we are running 86 men and 43 women, which would be 66 percent men and 33 percent women.• Williams said he tries 10 make sure that athletic programs remain competitive and lha1 in some ins11nccs there is no program for women in cenain spons because there is no junior college competition available ouiside

the immediate area.

"If you look nt the overall S1uden1 body at Nonh Idaho College, there is 62 percent women and 38 percent men," Rolly Williams said Williams said that considering the number or women who are pan-lime s1uden1S, the propnion changes in favor or men.

Williams said that dealing with the concept or gender equity is a difficult subject and encounters many different ideas or whal equity means.

"Equity refers 10 be fair and jusi, and I think we have attempted to do that in our program al North Idaho College," Williams remarked.

Western states' Undergraduate Exchange program altered

by Sherry L. Adkins Stn//nel Rtponer It was back 10 1be drawing board for lhe Wes1ern Exchange Program when dollar inconsis1encies were discovered in 1he new proposal.

The program was originally being allered due 10 over budge1ing and difficully in adminis1ering 1he program. according 10 David Lindsay, Dean of S1uden1s.

The allera1ions were 10 include a new 75-s1uden1 quo1a in addi1ion 10 1he already exis1ing average 144 s1uden1s enrolled in 1he program and would hove dropped 1he 1ui1ion fees cos1 for ou1-of-s1a1e s1uden1s 10 S706, which falls below 1he recommended 150 perccnl of in-s1a1c 1ui1ion fees. The s1uden1 would pay 1he regular S47 I and lhe counly in which 1hey lived would pay lhe addi1ional S235. Ou1-of-s1a1e 1ui1ion wi1hou1 lhe program is Sl,272.

Lindsay said 1ha1 an iniriguing problem nrose when ii was brough1 10 his a11en1ion by a Sen1inel s1aff member 1ha1 1he changes slill seemed inadequa1c.

"One ques1ion arose about lhc amounl of money coming 10 1he college from out-of-s101e sludents versus in-

s1a1e ou1-of-dis1ric1 s1uden1s. Righi now ii 's se1 up so a s1udcn1 on 1he program would pay 150 percenl of in-s1a1e 1ui1ion," he said. "Whal I would like 10 do is have 1he WUE s1udent pay 1he same amoun1 as an in-s101e, ou1-ofdistric1 s1uden1."

As 1hings were. an ou1-of-s1a1e studenl would pay 1he same 1ui1ion as an in-sLa1e. ou1-of-dis1ric1 s1uden1 (from ano1her cou n1y) except 1he college would receive more money from lhe county of lhe in-stale ou1 of districl · student as compared 10 an ou1-of-s1a1e studen1. The inslate, ou1-of-dis1ric1 s1udcn1 would be bringing a 101al of S97 I to 1he college while lhe ou1-of-sta1e siudent would ne1 1he college $706.

The newes1 proposal is sci up so 1ha1 in di s1ric1. in-s1a1e out of disiric1 and ou1 of slate s1udcn1s all pny an equal tui1ion of $47 1. The college would 1hen receive an additional $500 from coun ties of bo1h ou1-of-s1a1c and inslate out of dis1ric1 s1uden1s. The 10ml cos1 for _bolh 1ypcs of s1udcn1s 10 a11cnd NIC would be S97 I. This mee1s 1he recommended 150 percent of in-slate 1ui1ion cos1s.

"My feeling is 1ha1 i1 will happen," Lindsay snid.

The board wcn1 abou1 its rou1inc business nnd approved a drafl proposed 10 improve professional ins1ruction and amended a policy tha1 will allow the public a grca1er inpu1 01 1he NIC Bonr<l of Trustees mce1ings in 1he future.

When h <U1mc time 10 discuss lhe salary and fringe recommendations for NIC employees and teachers, Sieve Schenk proposed tha1 1he minimum salary be run for 1he coming year with al lens1 a 2.5 percen1 increase and tha1 they would also guarantee cmploymcn1 unlit more information could be collected. Schenk said he hoped 10 come 10 a final decision in lhc May mee1ing of the board.

Claudia Brennan, a chairperson on the task force on growth conlmiuce, gave a shon prescnta1ion 10 1he board highlighting some of 1hc concerns and possible solu1ions 10 growth a1 Nonh Idaho College. Among her concerns

were keeping 1he aesthetic campus area a1 NIC while looking at 01her propcnies off campus for expansion projec1s. She also expressed an idea to have the college work in conjunc1ion wi1h nrca high schools 10 belier prepare s1udenlS for quali1y work in college. She said lhis would increase s1udents remedial skills before cn1ering a college nnd allow the 1eachurs 10 conccn1ra1e on college learning instead of re-educating 1hem 10 mce1 1he demands.

NIC Athletic Director Rolly Williams 1hcn gave a spc..>ch concerning gender equity for college alhle1ics concerning 1he mailer of fairness be1wccn men and women's spons m the college.

Williams said 1h01 lhcrc nre more athle1ic scholarships for men 1han women because there are live men's sports and only four women's. Williams said thal curren1ly men make up 66 pen:eni of ll1e scholarships while the women net 34 percent and 1ha1 they are looking 10 possibly add women's softball lo balance lhc number of spons opponuni1ies available 10 women.

ASNlC president Maureen Slich1cr gave a shon prescn1ation abou1 s1uden1 insurance tha1 the board 1entatively approved wilh more information forthcoming.

"S1udcn1s should see ii in effec1 by fall semes1cr."

Lindsay added thal he expec1s to see an increase in s1uden1 use due 10 the low cost and wide populari1y of the program bu1 added 1ha1 1his could lead 10 academic or GPA requireme nls in lhe fu1ure.

The purpose of 1he WUE program is 10 afford s1udcoLS the financial opportunity 10 attend college ou1side of 1heir home state. The program is beneficial for ou1going Idaho students as well as 1he incoming s1uden1s from the 01her 12 stales par1icipa1ing in 1he program. For example, 1he program offers opportuni1ies 10 Idaho s1uden1s entering medical programs in Washing1on and U1ah because 1he schools allol a ccnain number of openings panioularly for Idaho s1udents. This means studen1s only hove 10 compete for classes agains1 01hcr Idaho s1uden1s.

WUE studen1s nre accepled on a firSl-(;Ome, fim-serve basis and 1hc program is made up of s1udents from 12 wes1ern slates. S1a1cs participating in lhc program are: Alaska, Colorado. Idaho, Mon1nna, Nevada, New Mexico.

Two new revisions lhot are being proposed include II policy on discriminatlon. The policy would define fa.:rimination as: any pr.u:1ice or n:gulntlon Lhal dis.:rimlnates on lhe basis (lf roce, color, nalional origin, religion, sex. age, disablllly or Vi,:uum era vc1ewi as defined by law.

LIFEBIRD lands at NI C Ryan Bronson Spons Editor NIC shon term Emergency Medical Technician students watched in awe a.~ o helicopter from Deaconess Medical Center landed on the soccer field on campus on April 19.

Jack Lawlor, EMT instructor and pnromedic, was responsible for the landing. Lawlor said he wanted the students to learn about the emergency utilization of nn on scene night nnd the procedures of the crew.

The helicopter is one of two helicopters nt DMC, which are pan of a program called LIFEBIRD Emergency and Critical Cnre Air Ambulance. It was the first helicopter ambulance program in Washington state and has delivered emergency medical care and patient transponation si nce it's binh in 1981. Tlle program is on call 24 hours a dny and seven days a week. It boasts over I000 trans pons per year.

Lawlor said the choppers arc imponant for emergencies. especially in the Nonhwcst area.

"LIFEBIRD is especially useful for situations when there's a logging accident or motorcross or snowmobiling (accidents)," Lawlor said.

The helicopters nre also pan of a designated transpon agency for the Panhandle Bnckcounll)' Rescue Team and the Spokane County Dive Team.

The MBB 105 (pictured) is capable of nying 150 miles in one di1cc1ion and returning to b9.',c without refueling. The second helicopter is a Bell 222, which js similar to the famous television helicopter, "Airwolf,'' according to pilot Charles Lacy. Lacy started his nying career as n crop duster in order to get cenified.

The Bell 222 is capable of speeds up to 160 miles per hour. Both of the choppers hove multiple engines. The MBB 105 requires a 60.foot diameter to land safely and the Bell 222 requires at least an 80-foot diameter.

LIFEBIRD transpons patients all over the nation.

The crew on of the helicopters consists of a pilot, a paramedic and a nurse. The pilot does not interfere with the care unit crew members. The pilot's job is simply, or not so simply, 10 ny the helicopter.

Lawlor said he hopes the college can get a paramedic program in it's system.

"I've tried to get the college 10 start a program. but they don't seem too interested at the moment," Lawlor said

The NfC Children's Center is nvnilable to children of Nonh Idaho College students nnd facuhy/stoff. They arc city licensed 10 serve up 10 30 children at any one time. This number will be adjusted to accomodate appropriate teacher/children ratios.

Availability for students is limited to those enrolled in daytime classes. Full time child care, over 20 hours per week, is available 10 those taking a minimum of four credits during the sum mer term.

Pan time child cnre, 20 hours or less, is available to students taking three credits or less.

Child cnre slots arc provided to those on the waiting list. However, in maintaining full enrollment the center reserves the right to move down the waiting list to locate children who meet specific enrollment needs. The waiting list for slots in the following fall/spring semesters supcrcedes children using the summer program that were not enrolled in the previous spring semester.

Pnrticipnnts will be asked to fill out a number of fom1s about the child. These fom1s include medical information and must be completed before the child can be left at the Center.

Children must be 2 1n and toilet-

trained to 5 years of age and not yet completed kindcrgancn. Eligibility is open without regard to race, religion or sex.

The Children¡ s Center operates. on a schedule similar to that of NIC classes, following the student calender and closed during student holidays. Monday through Thursday the Center is open from 7 n.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday's hours are 7 a.m. 10 2: 15 p.m.

Child care fees were dctem1ined following a survey of local child care centers. To meet budgetary needs and to remain within the low end of local child care prices the fees are as follows : SS.50 full day students $10.50 full day faculty/staff $4.50 half day students S 6.00 half day faculty/staff (full day = anything over 4 hours: half day= 4 hours or less) A S5weckly materials fee will be included in the fees.

Fees are charged for every two-week &ession and arc to be paid in fu II before the session begins or you will lose your slot.

Grading systems more than just statistics

by Kathy Hostetter SentiMI Reporter

In the old days, the tradicional bell curve grading system was the accepced way 10 evaluate studencs. wilh 2 percent automacically receiving A's and 2 percenc failing, and most scudencs falling in the C range. educacion in the 90's looks al more than a s1a1istical value in accessing whac a student learns. NIC instructors share some of their styles and philosophies on grading.

STRETCffiNG THE CURVE "I don'c believe everyone in college has the abllicy to gee an A, buc if a studenc cries, I don't fail many," soid science instructor Bill Pecha.

He said his curve is wider than the Lrnditional curve, designed to challenge the advanced learners to work hard for the A and yet not discourage siude nts who try but have a more difficult time.

Although he admits his tests ore designed to be difficult, he will somecimes go as low as 50 percent for a C to be fair to all levels of students.

His preferred style of testing is essay questions opposed to mulliple choice. He said he regrets the day that teachers have 200 students and questions will have to be objective so they can be computer graded. "Essays nre good because I feel science is to learn how to think, express ideas and to be able to problem solve," Pecha said PARTrClPATION "College ceachers complain that students don't panicipate in class discussion," said George Ives, English and mass media instructor.

"If our expectation is that they do, it should be reflected in grading."

Ives said in his mass media c lass scudents have 12 activities for participation, including class discussion, wacching media-related movies. field trips and workshop sessions.

Entrance slips, an idea from the University of Washington, give s1uden1s extra points for being there and being prepared. If a studenc is shy, they can stlll panicipate by asking quescions on 3x5 cards to show interest in the class.

He said on a "sunny Friday" few studencs showed up for class, he gave an extra panlcipation point for chose who came, then on Monday did It again to be fair. He also gives writing assignments preparing them for upper division classes. He feels an A student has leadership responsibility to communicate effectively to other students. "In the workforce. they look for leadership and students don't develop it unless they get a chance to practice in school by panicipating," he said.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING "My major goal in teaching is provide every student the possibilily of getting an A, and my second goal is reducing competition between students; chey compete only against t:hemselves," said Sandra Brashears. communications instructor. She feels this encourages students to work together because they know helping another student will not affecl their grade "First, I see what they can do on their own, I.hen I lee them discuss the concept-type answers," she said. "It's the learning I'm interested in, not necessarily 1he grade.'' If pan o f her grading includes panicipaLion, she has her c lass define what chat means, "they tell me what the behavior sounds like and looks like" so there is no misundcrscanding.

She sets up her grading criteria so that anyone can accomplish a good grade, and she said if they fail , it is because they just did not do what they were suppose to do. She said cooperative learning causes real bonding between students thnt somc1imes lasts beyond class. The downside is sometimes there is di ssension between scudents being graded together on a project. "It's still a learning process and I don't referee... tha1·s real life," she said.

TAKE HOME TESTING ln struccor Dale Trincn often allows scudents in upper leve l mach classes 10 Lake home a quiz.

His philosophy is that only a few complex math problems could be asked in a 50-minutc class.

This allows more questions to be asked, gives che student more problem solving time to learn from, and frees up c lass time for lecture. He also gives in-class exan1inations for evaluation.

AFFORMATfVE VS. FORMATIVE "My philosophy abouc a course is that ii hns ti beginning and an cnd,"said Duke Snyder. anthropology inscruccor. "It's like a paragraph. you can't do it in a sentence: a student needs·co show up everyday like needing to read every senlence."

He said chooses 10 test "formative'' because it gives him a good sample of whal the s1uden1 has learned, apposed 10 "afformative," which the 1es1 is a learning tool itself. Scudcnts are given study guides before each exam. but he does not return tests to students after an exam. He stales Chere are only so many reasonable questions you can write. He said there are extensive notes of his class floating around campus, and if students have access they will not bother to read the text o r show up for class. He said he does not return exams. but does give students results and an invillltion to come to his office to view his master test with correct answers. He views tests

as only a sample of what is learned. "Sometimes students reduce themselves to the rat in the cage pushing the bar," Snyder said. He added that if students are onJy concerned with how to get the grade and nol with learning, they may be the rat pushing the bar for a long time.

LIFE EXPERIENCE JOURNALS Geology instructor Bill Richards requires his students to keep journals which reinforce what they learned in class by writing about the products they use in cheir daily li ves.

Several instructors on campus use the journal theory to personalire learning for a beuer understanding. "I use a variety of cvaluacion methods trying to keep students from getting bored," said Richards. "It's more challenging."

For testing. he said he uses the same theory as Snyder wid does noc return tests 10 students.

However, he will allow the student 10 come in during office hours and handwrite the ccst questions and answers. He feels if a student wants 10 take the time. the writing itself is a learning tool.

NON-COMPETITI VE EVALUATION "Teachers do not 'give· grndes." sold communications instruccor Tim Christie.

"Teachers don't give squat, stude nts 'earn' grades." He suid that's why he uses che poinc s yscem: you know going In how many points possible and it puts che burden and responsibility on the studen t. He said a teacher grades based on their own experiences.

He said when he was in graduate school, he remembers a professor tell ing class that there will be one A. two B's and the rest will gee C's and P's. "Students were razor blading things out of the library and stealing work from dorms because it made sure others could not compete effectively," Christie said.

He said that the class cou ld all be Rhoades scholars and the resc would still get C's and F's. He feels s tudents should be graded on their own abili ties and not based on the classmates of a panicular c lass: you could be a C student in one class and fail in another based on the curve. He feels students place 100 much emphasis on grades and loose sight of learning.

"In the grand order of life, people think they gotta have that grade, job, car, inv~stment." he said. "Bull! Grades are imponant. But what I learned from my wife, watching her through her illness, what you really need is relationships with people that are imponant in you life. that mean something, and as a consequence your life will be rich and full."

Forum explores, informs on breast cancer

by J.A.Jake &nrintl Rtporter A handful of women showed up 01 the Bonner Room on Monday April 26 for a worbhop and lcc1ure concerning the rise in numbers of woman contacting breast cancer.

Mama Bateman, administrative dinctor of oncology 11 Nonh Idaho Cancer Cen1cr and KOOlenai Medical Center, said "one in eight Caucasian women and one in fowteen black women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.

One hundred and eigh1y thsee thousand women and one thousand men will be diagnosed with this disease and about forty thousand women and three hundred men will die of breast cancer in the year 1993."

Some or the most common misconc:eptions concerning breast cancer are that it is caused by the use of binh control pills, breast feeding, injury, bumping, bruising and even caressing the breasts. The fear of cancer caused by radiation from a mammography is unfounded, Ba1eman said. She said that a woman risks a higher dose of radiation from • COISI to COISI airline ride at thirty thousand feet than from a mammography.

Mammograms have an 85 to 90 pc.runt accuracy in spouing a problem while a biopsy is a I00 percenl ccnain, said Bateman. Some of the known causes of this type of cancer are caused by stress and diet, said Baieman.

Bateman said thsee main concerns that women have 1owards breast examinations are tha1 they are afraid they migh1 find something, which causes fear and anxiety, a lack of confidence in the selfexamination procedure and the lack of sound infonnation concerning breas1 cancer.

Highlighted during the pmcnuuion WIS a video showing proper selfexamining techniques followed by a hands-on workshop wsing synthetic models. The breast WIS depicted IS the upper one-third comprising the mamnuuy glands, the middle glandular and the lower a grainy feeling, fany tissue. Some women have under the lower ponion nex1 to the rib cage an area that may be of a harder substance called a "fake rib." ..This is 001 panicularly abnonnal," Bateman said, "and should not be cause for alarm."

Some common abnormal symp1oms of breast cancer are lumps. an invened nipple, redness and inflammation and scaling around the aureole.

"Ten minutes is all it takes to do the examination and possibly detccl a problem that can be much easioc 10 deal with now rather than later," Schmidt said.

Colleague Susan Herbst said that early de1cction, by whatever means, still outweighs the risks some associate with sclf-exarninatlons and mammographies.

If you vote, things will change h's depressing, ye1 amazing, how apa1he1ic people arc toward elcc1ions and especially college elections.

College elec1ions ha,•e become 11 farce, nod you need only point 10 1he n.>cenl Nonh Idaho College eleclions for proof. After allega1ions of impropricly were raised in lhe race for ASNIC president, Chrisla Manis was named the winner of 1he elec1ion. First-day elec1ion resuhs were 1ossed oul afler an elec1ion worker and friend of Manis was overheard sugges1ing for whom 10 cas1 1heir vote for.

II seems poinlless 10 1hrow oul lhe voles because the same people were allowed 10 vo1e on ano1her day.

The damage was already done. On a campus where only 200 out of 1he 3,000 s1uden1S enrolled voted, it only 1akes a handful of friends or vo1ers 1ha1 were persuaded 10 change 1heir vo1es 10 win. Mickey Mouse would have a great chance of being elec1ed ASNIC president wi1b jus1 a linle help from Goofy or Plu10.

Now, 1his isn'l to say Manis didn'1 deserve to win or 1hn1 she won'1 be an excellcnl prcsiden1; she probably will be. The poinl is thn1 i1 docsn'11akc much al all 10 sway eleclion rcsuhs where so few studenls vole or even realize thal an clec1ion taking pl~.

When mis1:ixes in judgment arc made in an election, as in NlC's, it only goes 10 make a bigger joke our of an already apa1hc1ic elec1ion.

Something nttds 10 be done differen1ly 10 gel more people to vole in na1lonal and school elections. Maybe manda1ory voling. Th05C running for poli1ical office nttd

10 do everything in their power, clhically and morally, 10 make for a honesl election. Only then will the voling public lhink lhat !heir vo1e really hones1ly counts and lhal the elec1ion ls wonhy of raking a s1and in.

Everyone is expressing their opinion and il seems 1ha1 those who don'I vole express theirs the loudes1. If you don'1 vo1e. your opinion means linle if any1hing al all.

While we're 1alking aboul loud opinions and poli1ics, give our newly elected President Clinlon a break. ll seems like everybody likes 10 whine aboul lhe new presidenl.

The DemocralS are moaning, "Clinton hasn·1 changed any1hing yet. He promised., whah."

Give the poor guy a fair chance. Do you really lhink lhal he can fix 12 years of heaping, Republican-made problems in 90 days? You're asking the impossible.

Thal is like asking the new kid on the block 10 pay up for 12 years wonh of unpaid bills for the old kid's mislakes before being allowed 10 live there. Give him some crcdil for even wanting 10 lake on such a mess.

The Republicans have been moaning even longer and louder than the Demos. and abou1 everylhing. Jusl sour grapes......BUSH LOST: DEAL WITH IT! Nobody is going 10 be happy with the shon-tenn solutions of Presidenl Clinton, bul hopefully his vision of things 10 come will change lhe lives of all for the better. If you aren'1 happy aboul lhe way life is going. do something different. Nolhlng will change if left alone.

Change creates change.

Gays are human too Homosexuals will reap what they sow Edi1or, I recently had the unfonunntc experience of watching TV Edi1or Opposing special pro1ectcd minority s1aius for homosexuals doesn't mean you're "homophobic." Gays have always hnd as much legal pro1ec1ioo as anyone else.

The ACLU has published The Rights of Gay People, nearly 200 pages of rights homosexuals enjoy under existing lows, rights that guaran1ee everyone pro1cc1ion from unwarran1cd discrimi notion.

The real issue Is distinguishing between illegal discrimination ogainsl o minority and appropriate legal restriction upon the open prac1icc of homosexuali1y. Before 1aking down a fence, you oeed 10 be sure you know nll of lhe reasons why the fence was pu11here originally.

Homosexuals 1end 10 couple with many differenl panncrs and thereby spread sex ually tronsmiued diseases like wildfire.

They consti1u1e u tiny perceniage of socieiy, ye1 have 50 percenl of syphilis cases and 60 perccnl of AIDS cases. Over half of gay men have had hepn1i1is B. a ra1e 20-50 times higher than he1erosexual men.

Fornier Chief Jus1ice Wnrren llurger wro1c '1'o hold Ihm the ac1 of homosexual sodomy is somehow protec1cd as a fundamenLOI right would be 10 cas1 aside millennia of moral teaching."

Despite scientific research. 1here has been no conclusive proof Lhnl homosexuality is genetic. Homosexuals are no1 a minori1y in Lhe same sense Lhat blocks are o minori1y: I have never heord of n fonncr blnck person. 8u1 Mns1ers ond Johnson rcpon n 79.1 percen1 success rote with homosexuals who desire 10 "go straight" Therefore, 1hese people become fonner homosexuals.

Charles Colson wri1cs. "Normalizing homosexual behavior as an 'nllema1ive lifes1yle' inevitably requires Lhe recogni1ion of homosexulil mWTiage: lhe mosl direct wauh on God's created order and 1he surest wny to undem1ine o socie1y which depends on the family for iu own propago1ion."

Open homosexuolhy cWTies n heavy price mg. Socie1y possesses the freedom 10 "~ow'' who1ever "seed" 1h01 ii wants 10. Bui freedom has its limi1s. We are not free 10 reap what we want: we will reap what we have sown.

. in the SUB when o fellow student expressed his rather cross opinion of a news story.

This news story was abou1 a gay-righis demonsuotion.

After using several creed expressions in referral 10 the men wa1ching, he proceeded 10 lis1 off 1he nom1al reasons of objection including it is unnatural. h was apparent 1h01 a few of us were offended by 1he gentleman. However. os mos1 of us only gave a weary shake of Lhe head, one individual did speak ou1 in response. I commend you sir. I pray 1ha1 the rest of us will become os courageous as you in the fu1ure.

The poinl wn.~ made 1hnt as Americans. we were all born with certain rights. TI1ose rights include both 1he choice of lifestyle and 1hat of speech.

As an American. I wnn1 to allow everyone 1heir righ1s.

However os a Chris1ian, I hope tha1 even if a person disagrees with ano1her's choice, one will respec1 and love Lha1 person as a humnn being.

With a prayer.

The real trick: Remember who you are So many limes I've seen people gel involved in rela1ionships and lose who 1hcy are in an cffon 10 impress Lhe 01her person. h's as if they become a completely differen1 person. I'm not knocking personal change: Growth is n very heahhy 1hing. Bui don'I sacrifice tha1 sacred pan of you 1ha1makes you who you are-your mdi\!idual identity. your free will.

Time after 1ime I've discussed with friends the strange phenomenon that drumo1icnl ly ohcn: people whenever they feel lhc need 10 impress someone.

Nonnolly caring, mature und intelligcn1 people crumbk Patricia Snyder inio ll11uid mn-~cs of 01her'~ Opinion cxpeciations.

I hove u friend who 1s the epitomy of this idea. The enlin' focus of 1his pc,~on's cxis1cncc becomes on effon 10 picas<! whatever m~mber of the opposi1e gender is in lhe room 01 the time. 11 really pains me somc1imes to wa1ch 1his happen (though some of the bi.irurc behavior is ~omc1imcs very amusing. II is even more en1cnaining 10 watch 1he reactions of 1hc opposite gender, who s1ruggh: wllh 1he unfulfilled promise of suggcs1ed ln1imacy.).

I often wonder 01 the uniquely human condilion of per~onal11y deceit Not 1h01 I'm completely honest obou1 who I am, bu1 I con~10ntly ~1rugglc 10 ocheivc 1ha1 honesty bolh wi1h myself nnd in my rela1 ionships. To be any le\s thon who you are is to deny 1he divine gift of self.

Por example, wmc people struggle to be different from mainstream society simply for the supposed sake of being different. They do not really iden1ify wuh a panicular idea or style a.~ a pan of who Lhey really arc: as a resuh. ins1ead of being unique they become conformis1s to non-confonnity. They force 1hemsclves into Lhe allema1ive cookie culler and succeed in being more false 1han the mainstream society 1hey scorn.

On the other extreme, some people follow 1he tradition society hos se1 because ii is safe. not becau~ Lhey believe in thc ideals and concepts. They exchange their own identi1y for 1he mind-numbing safety the mainstream can provide.

The challenge is to be who you are and 10 mo1ivate yourself: If you do have a uuely unique ou1look on life, enjoy ii and share it. If you follow uaditionaJ styles/beliefs, e1c., do it because Lhat is a part of who you are and who you want to be, no1 simply because you wan1 10 please somebody or you fear rejection.

Make the conscious choice 10 be wha1 and who you are: Don't be false to please anyone. It isn't wonh ii in the end.

Be who you choose 10 be, and choose 10 be who you

are.

"Don't swallow the pit:s"

. :

by J .A. Jeske with a little help rrom my rrlends (aod enemies) Ob no! Not In rroot of a reporting class. David Lindsay, dean of students, while explaining the merits of the WUE ( Western Undergraduate Eitchangc) program 10 Nils Rosdahls' reporting class. found himself in a story problem wilh 10 many variables and not enough exponents.

The crux centered over a reduced 1ui1.ion fee for ou1-of-s1a1e WUE students Iha! had in-s1a1e, ou1-of-coun1y students paying $528 per year more lhan the WUE students. Oops. try again.

Qukkly shlfllng gears, Dave used a different formula Iha! resulted in !he WUE students paying $374 more than regular ou1-of-s1a1e students. Hmm. Closer. Dave. bu! slill no cigar and still no solution.

We tried using !he ISO percent formula and !he only solution we could find was 10 le! !he in-s1a1e, in-county students anend classes tuition FREE. Well, mBybe you should run !his one through Bill Albens' math lab. But hurry, !he math lab·s almost gone, and, Dave, a reporting class just can·1 keep a secret, you know!

DATELINE: Saturday, April 17, 9:16 a. m. You were headed west on 1-90 10 !he pow-wow. h was a blus1ery, rai ny day and you had just reached !he 55 mph sign when you, u:n Mauci. 1hough1a piece of Kansas hnd dropped on you. Thai piece containing Dorothy. her dog Toto and lhe house. h turned ou1 to be just a pickup topper, fonuna1ely minus !he truck, 1ha1 sailed in on !he wind and smashed into your right front fender, breaking the headlight, 1he tum signal nnd causing some damage 10 something down under that's s1ill napping. You've only had your new Hondn since October. Oh, why didn't you just keep your old 1980 Toyota wi1h the den! in !he door? You've never hnd so much as a fender-bender wilh ii! Well, I guess lhcsc 1hings do happen. Ah, no. she decided no! 10 wait around for the owner. Something about following !he yellow brick road!!

Hee.Hee. Where do these timely events come from?

Tuesday, April 20, 12:50 In the SUB. A much exasperated Marc Os1man, ASNIC presiden1ial hopeful, and buddy Brody Dickinson. burst into !he SUB searching for Tony S1ewnn, politicnl science instruclor.

"Oh Tony we have a big problem. There's n girl in u:e Hal l al the voting booth telling people not 10 vo1e for Marc, but 10 vote for Chris1a, 1hc other presidential hopeful." S1ewnn sen! 1hcm off 10 find David Lindsay, dean of students. In the opposi1e door ho1on their departing heels came Christa, She·s quickly appraised of1he shun1ion and rushes off10 Lindsay's office. probably fearful she may be ins1iga1ed in the melec, cenainly pro1es1ing her innocence.

All voles from Black Tuesday were declared null and void. yet Chriw1 won anyway. To make mnncrs worse. 1he following morning Os1man, as alleged murderer, Dickie Dew, blew his lir.,1 day on the witness smnd, in spite of expen 1cs1imony by Fred Willson, buddy Dickinson as his auomey, very nearly spilled all 1hc cherries.

Monday, April 26, approx. 8: IS p.m., In the Kootenai Room. Al 1hc Monday trus1ecs mee1ing, Rolly Williams, a1hlctic director. gave a stirring speech regarding in1crcollegio1e olhtc1ic gender equity. His audience responded 10 his repc1i1ious ramblings by making fnccs. shining in their sca1s ond and grudually going glassy eyed. Deans and trustees alike fidge1ed with paper. candy nnd experimcn1ed whh various positions of bon.'dom. Toke a hini: Keep ii shon and sassy next time! Ahhough, maybe Williams took a couple of tips from ccnoin long-winded ins1ruc1ors on cnmpus.

A mon• in lhe ruture? A linle closer 10 home, 1hc Sherman School Building Sentinel room recently underwcn1 a brief inspcc1ion by our illustrious President Bob Uenncu. Bcnneu sur,·eyed !he cxi1s, checked out !he improvised television an1enna and expounded on the po1en1ial for using the space more effoc1ivcly When a s1offcr e,prcs.>1ed an enjoyment of lhe present convenient locaiion for the paper, Bennun hin1ed even bencr nl-commoda1ions mny be in the Sentinel's ru1ure. In lhc b:u.emen1 next 10 the boiler. perhaps?

Did you knu" one of our former lax ol ficial's last name is Looney? Hmm. Good day, sunshine? When 1he elusive sun made a cameo appearance 1hrough 1he cloud-smo1hered luue of end-of-semes1cr p:inic. a volleyball ncl complete whh teams sprou1ed from the soccer field, benches were warmed by more than solar heat, walkers dared 10 sel tennis shoes on somc1hing olher than rain•soaked grass and soccer players got a kick out of the rays for the entire halfhour !hey lasted While normally I would award a pi1-o'-1he-week award. !his time ifs !he weather !hat's the pits!

'Nic's at the Beach' set for summer

by Ryan Bronson Spcns Editor

Wi1h summer j ust around the comer. it's time to sturt thinking about how you're going 10 spend you time. Nic's :u the Beach is the place 10 go.

Whether you've spent your summer there before or you¡re a first timer, the activities surrounding NIC"s

official bcllch nre plentiful with sailing, wind boarding, canoeing, volleyball or just tanning the wann months away.

Nic's opens June I again this year and will be open every day (weather permitting) throughout Labor Day from IO a.mi. to 6 p.m.

The beach has a hot dog stand for all you "hot dog" caters. which is run by students from NIC. "The main focus of tl:c beach is 10 provide for the s1udenis of NIC," Director of Campus Recre.ition Denn Bennett said. "It's a place for 1he s1udents 10 hong our during 1he summer months.'"

Bennett said the beach will play host 10 on array of vollcybnll toumamen'tS and plans 10 have KEZE visit on Founh of July weekend. The community is welcome to the beach as well, but students will receive discounts on rented equipment.

NIC will have an outdoor program, as well, with access to tents, backp3cks, stoves and sleeping bags. The camping equipment will be available all summer at 769-3366 or cx1.

According to Bennett, a dock may be moved to the bulk head of the beach which will increase traffic.

Bennen said that the beach wi'II be run by Manager Drew PeLrOu and Assistant Manager Maureen Slichier, Bcnneu said four or five other employees nrc yet to be chosen.

Bledsoe big step for Parcells, Pats When former Washington Stole University quarterback Drew Bledsoe decided 10 en1er the I 993 NFL Draft, he probably had no clue that he would be the first pick.

Rick Mirer from Notre Dame was the favorite to become the first draft pick, which went to the New England Patriots.

So. with the Senule Seahawks in possession of the second pick, Bledsoe would f .._._J' have been near his home and playing for presumably less money.

But, the PauiolS Ryan Bronson didn't wnn1 Mirer; Opinion they wanted Blcdsoc, which isn't so bad for Bledsoe because he will make more money.

Even if Bledsoe makes the same amount of money he would have earned in Seaule, he'll probably end up making more money because his career will last longer playing

(,)

behind a line 1hnt is better than 1he Scohnwk~ Even if the Seahawks could have picked up a quancrbock with NFL experience, no quarterback can play behind the k.ind of line they had las1 year.

The 1enm that got the best deal in 1he draft was the New York Jets, 1hc team that originally hod the third pick. The Pheonix Cardinals had the founh pick, but 1.ruded AllPro running back Johnny Johnson to 1he Jets for the third pick in order 10 ge1 Georgia running back Garrison Henrs1.

The Jets picked Florido State linebacker Marvin Jones, who will be a nightmare for opposing offenses.

The biggest laugh of the entire draft is tba1 1he two Washing1on Husky qunnerbncks, Billy Joe Hoben to the Los Angelos Raiders and Mark Brunell 10 the Green Bay Packers, were drafted before Heismon Trophy winner Gino Toreua, who was 1he 192nd pick and went to the Minnesota Vikings. Torena was the qui1rterbock for the Miami Hurricanes, who were ranked No. I until they were beat in the national championship by Alabama, Only eight quarterbacks were 1aken in the en1ire draft, with Alex Van Pell (Pittsburg),

Elvis Grbac (San Francisco) and Trent Green (Son Diego) rounding out the list.

The Pa1rio1 s should be happy wi1h Bledsoe. He has a sirong arm and has a NFL presence about him. If New England can put together a tine 10 pro1ec1 him, he could lead New England 10 another Super Bowl (the first time was in 1985 against a virtually un¡stopablc and extremely popular Chicago Bears team).

The only quruterback who was pick No. I 1h111 has led his team to a Super Bowl victory is Troy Aikman with the Dallas Cowboys.

Jeff George, the last quarterback to be chosen No. I before Bledsoe, has struggled behind a struggling offensive line. !f the Pmriots want to become a contender in the ne;1t few years. 1hey need to concentrate on building a solid offensive line and receiver core. New coach Bill Parcells, who is the fonner New York Giants coach, is just the kind of man 10 build a championship team. He guided the Giants to two Super Bowl victories.

Cowboy head coach Jimmy Johnson started hls NFL cooching career by drafting Aikman.

Parcells and the Pauiots have 1heir wooc cul out for them. but they've taken a big fust step.

Symphony brings theme of spring for final program

he Nonh Idaho Symphony Orchestra 1 will be presenting its final program of the year Saturday at 8 p.m. in the NIC Auditori um.

For its springlime'-Orientated program, the orchestra will be perfom,ing four pieces.

1111 centering around thoughts and feeling.s of spring.

In the first piece. "Canon," by Johann Pachclbcl, 105 Cocurd' ,\Jene elementary suing students will be joining the orche~tra as guests. The students are taught

by Jay Ellis. ''Conceno for Flute and Orchestra." the second piece. was created by Qui Nielsen, nn early 20th Century Dnnish composer. l.aurn Dickinson. NIC flute inslructor, wi ll be performing a Oute solo.

According to conductor Todd Snyder. the conccno is the most difficult piece of the evening. It includes two mOVt!mcnts, Allegro moder.110 and Allegreno. " fbc Moldau•· was composer Bedrich Smeionn·s tribute 10 the most imponam river's in his life. The Moldou is one of Europe's mnin rivers and runs tlvough Smctnnn's home country.

Snyder said, " The music begins as o liule trickle.. . but 1hcn becomes quite a torrent."

The piece is about a trip down the river, even a trip through wild rapids nnd finally coming 10 peace as the river opens into the sen.

Ludwig van Bee1hovcn's "Symphony No. 6 in F Major, 'Pastora.le'" will be the Inst piece of the evening. The symphony contains five movements. all dealing with aspect of the springtime. An inrercsting thing about this panicular Beethoven piece. Snyder said, is !hat it is his only programmauc symphony.

Beethoven was already deaf when he began working on the symphony. He was spending his summers in a suburb of Vienna where he was inspired.

Snyder explains is as nn "outdoor. springtime, positive piece."

The piece 1s o transport lo the woods of Vienna, Snyder said, nnd it·s about the outdoor gnthering.s of people in Vienna along with "a lot ofbeerdrinking."

Snyder pointed out how F Major is a key eituemely appropriate for an outdoors type of music. He also said how this piece is more folk music as opposed 10 artistic.

Though Snyder has always decided what pieces are going 10 be performed in the concen. this time. he said. he let the orches1111 members give input on what they wanted to perform. and he arranged the program out of lheir suggestions.

"I find the program 10 be quite attractive," he snid.

I want to nns"cr. with ns much emphasis as po~lble. "No. 1 likt the rain. Do you hove n problem with that?"

by Rachd Williams /nsw~, C11lt11r~ Editor "... but for "omen, I'd hove long ngo hove become monk!"

I l'Onder if nil men feel 1h01 way. Oh well. So went the words of Johnnnc., Brnhms in pnn of his "Liebcsllcdcr Walzer, Opera 52." Bmhm\· work.s were fe111ured as pan of the Coneen Choir's second pcrfonnnnce April 3.

The concen also featured two guitar solos by NJC mu\ic instnJctor David Cole, three songs by the Madrigal Singers and cJtcerpts from composer Georges Bizet's opera, "Carmen."

The theme of the entire show centered around different aspects of love. Virginiu Tinsley Johnson nnrra1ed the concen.

Brahm·s works were Russian. so the pans were first read in English Brahms' songs vnried from the JOYS 10 the sorrows of love. Jeri Fischer's soprano solo in "How Dear, Alo.s. Was Life Together," was very sad and spurred melancholy thoughts, while "There was n Lillie Bird," was a light and peppy tune.

One of my personal favorites of the Brahms pieces wo~ the last ~lccuon called, "Locksmith. Go and Bring Me Padlocks."

The song portrayed almost a spiteful annudc toward the way the person· s moods are described by 01hcr people.

The singer spcalcs of closing their mouths. The piece wos quite strong.

Cole followed with his guim solos. The first piece. hFantasie No. 7." was the 1ypc of music that ruade me think of a home snuggled aW11y in the woods and the sunlight lihcring throllgh the trees. TI1e ~ong was what I would call a sit·bnck,and-thmk tune.

The second pitce plnycd by Cole was entitled ''Rccucrdos de la Alhambra." The song camr from Spain and 1s about o fountain m Alhambra. As Cole said before perfonning the song. it is easy to picture the fountain o.s the not~ are played.

111c NIC Madri$al Singers were up next nnd appeared on siage m their period dress consis1en1with the Renais\ance Era. They pcrfonncd thrL'C a cnppclln songs. my favorite being the first, "He is Good and HJndsomc." by Pierce Passereau. It spoke of a rather perfect gentleman. One line of the song explained the mnn ns "always sweet and l..ind." I'd really like 10 ge1 a hold of this fellow because I think I've never heard of someone so wonderful.

The remainder of the conccn focused on pans of the opera "Canncn." · "Cnnnen" began with n cro.shing. dramatic orche,tral prelude thnt the North Idaho Symphony Orchestra played from the pit.

The symphony accompanied the pcrfonnance.

TI1c c~nains drew back to reveal o smokey, drab s1ogc, with dull reddish-orange hgh1 filtering through the hn1-e. The women meandered on to the stage, clad in old-fashioned clo1hlng. They were the cigarenc girls, taking a break m the town square from work in the cigarcne factory.

territory where the aventurcsome Pixies feared to ever tread. The planet of HUMOR. Al limes Fronk ac1ualy sounds like he's having fun.

To reflect this new lighter side he has enlisted the help of the 1wo Johns from They Might Be Giants. The only song that manges to brood is "Every Time I Go Around Here," written 10 remind us lhnt we can never go back home. All in all an excellcn1 album, but very different from what Frank did as the lead Pixy.

Such II switch may be hard for some fans 10 handle. Perhaps whAl ultimately decides an albu m't success or fai lure Is the open minded ness of the audience. \Ve place our heros 011 pedestals. but when they attempt to change and seek ou t new territory alone we often don't approve because we find a cenain comfon in what has been done before. It's rarely a matter of album quali1y that dictates fnilurcs, but rnthcr the listeners letting go of prejudices. n letting go of pnsl triumphs and sins. h's a widely held belief in the ahernative realm that the audience is more open-minded than in other music genres. If this is true, then perhaps their enlightened minds will allow for these new musical journeys with fnmilinr faces.

RoHins delivers the word singer of punk group Black Flag delivers concise. cynical and humorous • anecdotes and observations about life on his latest spoken word album, "The Boxed Life." He explains his views on hale, condoms, air travel, people, sleep deprivation and just about anything 10 do with anger, people and life.

The album can come across as a comedy album, bur Rollins just happens 10 have a humorous style of comedy albums gel old delivedng spoken word quickly so how could some material.

There's no place I'd rather be."

"The Boxed Life" 1s an excellent piece of work; a well-edited compilation of tracks recorded in New York. L.A., Sydney. Dublin and other comers of the world. The.w tracks contain a concentrated burs1s of brilliant, thought-provoking observatioo. He rnlks abou1 things you may cenninly wan1 10 hear n number of times and even share wi1h friends . . .jusr to be sure you heard 1,/m right.

"The Boxed Life" is a good buy- two full -length cassenes for regular

price. The only bener way 10 catch Rollins is in person.

He will be offering everyone 1h:u opponunity very soon with both his spoken word performances and live music performances with his band, appropriately named Rollins Band. Keep an eye out!
