Opponents claim 1 Percent lnitiativ~ 'sham' threatens education, health services, police

by Lori Vivian Stmind Ne11•s Editor Accoroing to opponeni~ or the I Percent Initiative, not only will the initintive "greatly harm our schools with budget cuts." but it is also a "sham."

According 10 the State Department of Education. the initiative. ir passed, would affect the Coeur d'Alene School District in two ways.

"In the $hon term. it would cau~e an immediate cut in the disuict's operating budget. In the long tem1, the ini1101ivc would make It vinually impossible for local voters to approve special levies to provide schools with money for buildings and 01hcr improvements." accoroing to the State Dcpanmeni of Education.

According to opponents of I Pcrcem Initiative, on a local level budget cuts of this magnitude would ccnainly mean: fewer teachers Larger classes Less maintenance for huildings f ewer new textbooks, equipment According to Rolly Ju rgens. dean of administration.

NIC expecL, to expcnence a decrease in funding of approximately$ 2.5 million if the initiative passes. NIC is already preparing plnns for revenue loss in case the initiative passes.

Maintenance and Operations: Eq11ipme11t, suppl/ts, travel and other b11dgets 111011/d be reduced dromolicolly.

Salary cuts: ,lcross the board salary cuts ro11ld be on option altho11gh 110 dccis/011 has bct11 mode.

1/ightr 111iJio11 011dfees Fewer cfnsses offered Reduction i11 growth According to Dean Hnagenson. from 1hc Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry, "The average family spends 30 percent of it~ income on taxes. Of that 30 percent, 67 percent goes 10 the federal government, 25 percent 10 the state, 6.9 pen:ent locally and 5 percent is propcny taxes."

Haagenson said that the public is overburdened, "Bui no1 necessarily by propcny taxes."

"Idaho ho.s the lowest propeny tax rate per per~on in the West and is about 13 percent les~ than the national avemgc," according to the Federal Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations.

"Even those who rovor the initiative admit that essential city services should not be cu1. They claim Olher means should be found to provide these scrvices.

111c real effect will be an increase in other taxes such as income. sales or II new tnx to fund the essential services." the Fedcrol Advisory Commission said.

The I Percent Initiative requires two-thirds of all registered voters to approve the special bond levies.

Cum:nt low requires approval by two-thirds of the people voting.

Since anyone who doesn't vote will be counted ns n "no• vote and it is extremely rare thnt two-thirds of registered vo1ers even vote. it will be near impossible for voters to approve special bond levies, according 10 the Staie Depanmcnt of Educmion.

Opponents of the I Percent contend that cities. counties, highway disuicts, police and fire protection. street~. roads and hospital&. will face budget cuts similar to those in schools. They also contend that by passing the I Percent lnitimive, homeowners will lose their tax exemptions and wind up paying higher taxes elsewhere.

Supporters of initiative promise pr.operty tax relief, slowing of government growth

Library offers variety of services br Justin Smith Reporter According to 1h~ Evaluation Cornmincc of the Nonhwes1 Msociotion of Schools and Colleges in their evaluation report. "(The library) consutuh:s a threat 10 the continued succcs.s of an in~titution which is vibrant and growing,'' Currently, Learning Resources Director Mary Carr said, they working hard 10 bring the librar)' up to por despite the limited funding available 10 them.

According 10 Carr. n librarian is on duty at the information desk most of the day.

Students ha ve access 10 four public typewriters, audio compnct disc players, six microfilm readers and fiv e grou p study rooms including one with a VCR. There ore also two public copiers. stnplcrs, hole punches. paper cutters and an overhead maker available for student use in preparauon for projects.

"There's more than a lot of people think there is," Carr said.

The traditional cord catalog has been replaced by the North Idaho College On-Line User System otherwise known as NICOLUS. It not only has NIC's library catalog in its memory, but some 50 other college librnry catalogs and an on-line directo ry of newspapers ond magazfncs is planned.

NICOLUS is capable of instantly finding any item in all the catalogs in its memory by searching for an item by subject, nnme or author. NICOLUS also hos n browse feature. which allows you 10 scroll through items according to category.

Another system availabl~ ro.r u.se)n locating items is Lnser Cat, which 1s s1m ur to NICOLUS. LascrCnt is a CD-Rom based system which contnins only the catalogs of some 400 other libraries across the nation.

Interlibrary Lonn is o service offered by the NlC library free to those who wish to use it . Students may bo rrow an item from virtually any library in the United States.

But. Carr soid there 1s a "nexible" limit of 15 to 20 volumes per student per semes1er because of the limited siaff and resources assigned 10 ILL. not to mention the cost of borrowing a single volume is estimaicd nt $20.

Carr c~plained that ILL has become pupular among NIC students as a 1001 to supplement their own library's resources.

Four years ago NIC borrowed 43 books through the system, three years ago the number was up to 814, two years ago 900 books were borrowed ond lost semester the number t0ll1lcd close to 3.000. So far this semester, the number of books is already close to 2,000.

Four years ago studen t traffic in the library averaged 20-50 ~tudents n day. Titis semester, daily student traffic in the new library is from 600· l.200 students.

"It will be three to live years before the library is up to some son of standard.'' Carr said.

The minimum collection standard for a school of NIC's size is 57,525 currently the collection is at 40, 268, with an annual acquisition rote of 2,200 volumes.

Adoption Awareness Month honors the 'forgotten option'

by Jrrr Srlle tlsristunt Nf11·s &J/l(Jr After a Unh•crsi1y of Idaho fre~hmon

ttllcgedly killed her newborn son.

Lutheran Social Services (LSS) fell an even stronger need 10 make college s1udc111s aware of 1he "forgouen op1ion."

According 10 Jennifer Schaffner. ma1erni1y counselor .i1 LSS. Oc1ober 1s National J\dop1ion Aw,1renc'>~ mon1h.

During tl1is month LSS won1, to mukc ' more people 11war~ of 1he pobitive ahcma1iv(~ 10 30 untim,•ly rr,·gnant'y.

Schaffner ~aid l.SS occcp1s anyone regardless of 1heir religious preference and 1hc1r services ore compll'lely conliden1ial.

"What we offor isn't JUSt adoption: we offer u full rongc of alterna1ives 10 an 11n11mely pregnancy." Schaffner ~aid. ··Whnt's important is lhnt 1he binhmo1her be comfonable wilh her llcci~ion."

Nationally only 4 percent of untimely prcgnancie5 are deah whh lhrough the normal atlop1ion channels for a vorirty of reasons. Schaffner said.

The main reason pregnant women

don'I nominlly consider adoption b b<.o;:ousc llf the ncgalivc images placed on adoption in 1hr pas1. she soid.

"In some ca~e,,, women 1h01 relinquish tJ1dr child for :1dop1ion receive more public ridic'ulc than 1hos.: 1ha1 abon 1hrir child." Schaffner said.

She $aid 1he old closcd-ndor11ion procedures are a thin{! of the pas1.

Today LSS uses nn adoption 11iod syMcm which allows equu.l con~idcru1ion for tltc needs of the t>inhmo1her. the child and the adoptive parents.

She c~ploincd 1h01 LSS allow, the binh-mo1her the opponunhy 10 choose and meet the couple 1hat will mist' h.:r child anti the bir1h-mo1her can, if she choos~. receive con slant upd31c, of her child's progress 10 the fonn of lcners, video ond picturc,.

Brendon Fraser plays the character of David Green, who hnp~ns 10 be n Jew. He gets a foo1ball scholarship 10 St. Mo1hcws Academy. Hi~ fir~1 111s1u of discrin11nu1ion is from his coach.

A boy. named Charlie Dillion, hkc Green, is a quanerback for S1. Mathews Academy. Green is 1he bener quancrback. Dillion nlso has a girlfriend named Solly. Sally fnlls in love with Green. As 11mc goes by Dillion gets jealous.

The story line reveals e1hnocen1rism in the charac1ers.

Dillion finds out Green is a Jew and tells everyone. All of Green's so-called friends j udge him from 1heir perspective of the "Jew Image." They ignore him. put signs in his room saying "Go home Jew" and accuse him of cheating on on exam.

Instead of being o tear-jerker, 1his movie is a temper-jerker.

Even Sully refuses 10 1olk 10 Green because "my friend~ keep pestering me. My mom said her grandmother almost turned over in her !!rave when ~he found ou1 I w~ doting n Jew." When Green's roommmc found out Green wac;: n Jew, he fell bctrnycd. But Green couldn't undcrs1and wha11he

'Sandpoint Connection' big influence on Cards

by Dominic Hownrd Recreation Editor

Thinking of the NlC women's volleyball team, people can't help but recognize the "Sandpoint Connection". That "Connection" is the <'ombination of Krista Ellion, Kris1inc Bilodeau and Beth Raynor.

Elliou, Bilodeau and Raynor are from Sandpoint High School. They chose 10 allcnd NIC because it was clo\c to home. despite offers from bigger schools (such as the College of Southern Idaho).

Ellioll and Raynor have both become great allaround players, and Bilodeau has become a grca1hiller according to coach Bret Taylor. Ellion and Raynor are amongst the team leaders in almost every category.

Ellioll has the mO$t digs on the team with 336. She is founh in aces, second in sets and sixth in total kills.

Raynor is second in digs, second in aces. third in selS and founh in kills. Bilodeau is second on the team in kills (behind Carly Killen) with 172 de,,pi1e being injured with strained ligaments in her ankle. She may be back this week for the remainder the season, she said The three combined for a total of 36 perl'ent or teams kills with 450, 42 percent or the digs with 683 lllld 33 perl'ent of the aces with 64.

"111ey are very team oriented. The 1eam is always fi rst and they are willing 10 make ~•crifices," Taylor ~aid. "They hove ~pent mnny extra hours gelling belier outside of practice. especially Bill (Bilodeau)."

All three ha"e similar career goals. Ellioll is majoring in physical education. Raynor in secondary education and Bilodeau in elementary education.

Although the trio i~ from the same town, they were not very good friends outside of the athletic scene in high school. Ellioll played volleyball. basketball and truck for four year~ in high school. Raynor played volleyball and basketball ror four years and track for two. Bilodeau played basketball and tmck ror four years and volleyball for two. "\Ve had 10 basically drag Kristine on the volleyball coun for her senior year," Ellion said. "She played her freshmen year nnd then took her sophomore and junior years off before we drug her back on 1hc coun."

The three of them live together with Angela Kohal, whom they went 10 high school with. They said they 1rea1 each other like sisters and light over dumb things. like who's going to take out the garbage. However.

Other program limils are increasing. &uch as 1he Perki ns Loan. which goes from $3,000 per year for undergrndua1es to an aggregate undergraduate limit of S 15,000.

TI1e new award limn for the Pell Gmnl has been increased to $3.700.

"There is more grant available in the law, bul when it comes to be funded. il's not 1herc," Shankar said.

An increased number or studen1s using the same amount of funding will mean less dollars, on average, for those who are eligible for financial aid , she said.

"The eligibility will change but 1he total amount of nid is nol changing, which will make ii really tight." she said.

Do you \\flnl 10 heor something really scnry? A ghost wander., lhe halls of Sei1er Hall in the middle of 1hc night. marching through 111ne as 1hc c1emol sentry.

He huns no one. speaks silently or his cause and wails for 1he 1iming of friendly. J..indrt-d spirits m mokc his presence known. lie \l.l!ars o archaic blue wldicr's uniform as he hounis lhc quiet. silent building, curious and e~J>Klant of the unknownbk. 1he uniuuchable. 1he unreachable.

Three ghost bus ters from 1hc Sentinel. 1wo brnvc female rcponcrs nnd one Don Knon~-lil.c mole pho1ographcr. decided 10 crash in10 1his rcJlm of mysirry :ind spend 1he nigh1 in Sei1cr Hall. a11emp1mg 10 prove or to dispro,e 1he ,·ery e~h1cnce of 1he supcrna1ural soldier 1n blue. They scnkd in "11h 1heir pnrnphemnlia. including sleeping bags. carncra.s. ligh1~ensors, Cl)'Stnls. hnnnony bells and homework to help po,~ 1hc time.

Jokt'S nbuu t Scoubic Doo and Shnggy helped fill 1hc blnnl. <pace< in con,cr~n11on a, the night ,,ore on and monmnny scnlt:d in.

wai1ing 10 be discovered and hoping IO join in.

Many pho1os and wisecracks later and wilhou1the sense of anyone from ano1hcr dimension being present, the three reponcrs 100k their hardware nnd left the lab.

Olos lering loudly to keep the late night fear from creepi ng in and s1ealing away their logical cxplnna1ion<. the group hendcd down 1hc mirs n\ quick ly as 1hcy cou ld and still keep 1hcir dignity in1ac1.

Going in and ou, of dreams and conversation wound the 1hrcad of hope throuph the nigh1 un1il hope " ~ vanquished and wt free.
