A lawsui t agninsl the college claiming damage 10 a student's health due 10 occupation of the second noor of the Hedlund Voca1ional Building will be filed soon. the s1udcnl's lawyer said.

"The lawsuit is prepared and is imminent and will be filed shonly," said Michael Verbillis, nuomcy for clnimanl Shnron foster.

Foster filed a S500,000 claim against the college In November 1991. Foster claims she developed carbon monoxide poisoning while aucnding classes on the second noor of 1he Hedlund Building.

Foster auended classes in the Hedlund Building in the 1990-1991 school ycnr. She estimated she wos on 1he second noor appro:tirno1ely five hours a day the foll scmcs1er and a linle less spring semester.

Foster's complaints included weakness. memory loss and numbness on 1hc right side or her body.

In September of 1hi~ year, Verbillis reported that the entire

ngh1 side of Foster's body was numb.

Foster has improved subjectively 10 some degree bu1 has good dnys nnd bad dnys, Vcrbillis said.

Following concerns about the air quality, the second noor of the Hedlund Building was closed in May 1991. To~lc chemical e~posure tests on 26 building employees las1 foll resulted in 13 individual abnormal neurological results, possibly indicative of brain disorders, according 10 neuropsychologis1 Dr. Edward Beaty.

Plnns to re-open the second Ooor hove been delayed, according to Presidenl Robert Bennett. Higher than an1icipa1cd costs und n slowness on the pnri of 1he Division of Public Works hove delayed the rcnov:uion proccs~. he said.

Plans 10 move in the Culinary Arts program, drof1ing and electronics have been delayed until 01 least mid-semester, said Dean of lns1ruc1ion Jerry Gee. Work on 1he second noor, which has no1 ye1 srnried, is scheduled 10 begin in Jnnuary, Gee said.

Senate disbands ticket appeals

by Jeff Selle ilossls1an1 News Ed/1or

New parking guidelines arc pending review by the College Senate after It voted 10 disband the traffic appeals commiuee during the regular meeting held Nov. 5.

According to the minu1es, Michael Lasher, senate member, confronted the senate about the article printed in the Oct. 8, issue of the Sentinel, which claimed Dean of Administration Rolley Jurgens and fonner traffic appeals commiuec member Bill Mc Keen granted appeals 10 a number of a1hle1es wi1hou1 going through the nonnnl appeals process.

After some discussion, Len Manei, senate member, made a motion to disband the committee. The motion was seconded and passed with only one dissenting voie.

Robena Black, senate member. moved that anybody wishing to rcins1111c the traffic appeals committee should come to the senate with a request and provide appropriate guide lines. The motion was seconded nnd passed.

Mattei said she understands the need for a parking appenls bonrd on campus, bu1 in this case some changes needed to be made.

Mauei explained one of the reasons why the comminee was eliminated was because it was originally formed as an ad hoc comminee designed 10 deal wi1h the problems associated with setting up the new parking system on campus.

She said the ad hoc commince was only given the authority 10 sculc appeals for one yenr, and the sena1e¡s decision 10 disband the commiuee just made it official because the commiuce had already served ou1 its one-year tenn.

Another reason the senate decided to disband the commiuee. Manci said, was because after discussing the article in the Sentinel, members feh if the adminis1.rntion was granting the appeals. then appaRnlly the commincc was nol functioning anyway.

After 1he senate's decision, Mike ~lalprin. director or

parking services, proposed a new set of guidelines to 1he senate al the next regular mteling and requested 1h01 1hc appeals com mince be reinslllted.

Halprin said since he ha.s taken over the parking responsibilities he has been working on a new set of guidelines. but due to the foci llw1 the guidelines were not completed by the beginning of fall semester. he was forced 1.0 begin the school year with the old policy.

"At the time I took over, I could see the handwriting on the wall," he said. "I could see what might happen, and ii did."

According to Mauei, the guidelines will have to go through two separate senate readings before they can be approved, and only then could the new appeals commiuee be officially sanctioned.

Halprin said the appeal fonns have been piling up, and they probably will not be cleated up until the end of January. But, he said, the students who now have appeals pending will be allowed to register for the spring semester.

Presiclcnl Roben Benneu met wi1h the hcnd coaches of the athletic: depart ment on Nov. 23 10 address the quesuonoble behavior of the ath letes on campus.

Bennett listed seven personal observations. including faculty and staff support of athletics not bcmg what it should be. and he explained that community suppon is questionable.

Mnny nihlctcs do not complete a degree at NIC before transferring to another institution because 1hey do not accumulate enough transferrable hou rs of classwork even though they remain eligible for competition by iaking physical education OQd remedial work. Problems requiring disciplinary action by the dean of student services often involve students on athletic scholarships. Bennett said.

Residence hall deposits w,ithheld for damages have, in the past. been as much as lhree times more for male athletes than for the rest of the mole students living in the dom1s. he said.

Disciplin31')' problems instigated by athletes an the residence hall are often duplicated in residences off campus. A ponion of recruited othlctcs consistently display values thnt show a lock of self-discipline and disrespect for fellow students and public property, Bennett said.

Coaches nnd ~uppon staff spend nn inordinate amou nt or time unending to the personal problems of n relative ~rnnll number of student nthlctcs. he said.

Bcnncn also raised six questions nbout athletics: Whal is the purpose of athletics nt NIC'/ Docs the purpose of vo1'ity athletics lit with the mission nnd objectives of the institution?

If the purpose of vnrsity nthlctic~ is to educate the student to the c~lent thul he or she will complete a tlcgrcc or cenific:11e. i~ the recruitment of athletes wnh Jess than basic skills an effort in fuulity? Ilow much can couches be cxpcc1cJ to di~cipline their athletes outside the pructicc 1111d playing fielus? Due, the conch hn,•c a re,ponsibility for helping the athlete achie,•c academic success? Is it ncccs,ury 10 be nntionally competitive for an ath letic progrum to b,: cun,idercd ,ucccssful nt NIC? Bennett said that the mc~ting \1 a\ nol intended to nn~wcr nil the qu~tions, but that it wa~ meant to be o bl!ginntn{! or n proce~~ to delin~ the problem nnd !ind a solution.

Under a new chnir. the College Senate is in lhe process of defining the differences between the senate and the Faculty Assembly. working on general and sexual harassment policies and adopting a new parking appeals process.

Mathematics instructor Edwina Stowe replaced Network Systems Manager Michael Lasher 1his year as chair of the senate. Chairs are elected each year.

Stowe 1aught at Jncksonvillc College in Texas 13 years before coming to NIC 10 years ugo this January.

In addition to being an official member of nil senate stonding commi ttees in her cnpaci1y :lS chair, Stowe is involved ,n the General Education Committee and th<: Instructor Evalua1ion Committee, an udn11111\tra11vc committee separate from the ,cnatc.

The raculty Assembly attempts to preserve an avenue of communication between the administration and the faculty. she said. while the senate is a conglomeration of several facully groups with members of the Associaled Student Government (ASN!C).

One of the duties of the College Senate Is to help define policy. It is in the process of revising the general and sc,ual harn~sment policies. Stowe said. She said the senate is deciding if the two sh~1uld be combined under one policy or be "ritten nstwo.

Trustees, faculty discuss growth challenges

by Leigh Reines St11tl11cl Nl'pnrtcr

As the number of ,1udcnt~ J1tcnding NIC inm·ases. the college fac~( 1hc challenge of ~ccping up with growth with limited resources while maintaining the same ··quality of e, c~llcncc in teaching and learning " Thi< semester admission< have gone down, Cun Koenig. dirtctor of admis,ion(, said.

According to Koenig. the reasons for 1he decrease is the three policjt\ 1mplementcd thi~ ,cmcstcr··Studcnts having lCl pay tuition ·at rcgim:nion. the overage fee for Students laking more thBn 16 l'rcdlt~. and 1he Au g. I deadline se t for freshmen to complete their lilc.

These policies may help NlC keep up with gro" th for the meantime, but the number of Mudcnts i, expected to incn:~se over 1he )Cars. J'hat prompted NIC"s Board of Tni,tets nnd faculty members to meet. As n re,uh ot that meeting, u liM or rccommenda11ons to control growth was drafted and prc,cntcd to NIC Prc(ident Robert Bennett.

One of the r~·.:ommendntion, 1he board .,nd f,1culty made \13< 10 initintc .1 policy thut will 1c,t inrnming ,tudcnt<. nml those who aro rnnsidcml ··e"rcmc ri~k"· or ··ar-nsl.." students would require mandatory placement in d~vclopmcnrnl cJucation progr.1m< or other ,elected da.,sc,. ·nw "udcnt, \

would haven time limit in which they would have to complete the progrum. According to the board. this would help control growth by mal..ing ~ul'\! >tudcnts .1ren't here longer thnn they $hould be.

According to inwuctor Lloyd Marsh, one of the faculty memb.!rs who helped dra(t the recommendations. along with te~ting. n computcrired academic alen system would be set up to monitor all studcnl>• progress. Students that arc performing un~atisfnctorily will e11her be put on academic probation or will have to talk to their advist•rs.

Another recommendation the group mode was to revitalize the advising system. Adviser~ would spend more time with Mudents and ofkr ewu suppon and help. Marsh feels that ndvi~ing i~ vital for incoming students, ··1 believe that advising is the mo,t important thing we can do for fre,hmcn:· he said.

In order to collect the information needed to make dcci•ion~ nbout growth nnd maintain quality teaching and learning, it II a, n.'Cornrncnded to hire a full- time inMitutional researcher 10 collect. nnalv1e and share relevant data with in<1ruc1t1r\ and \tudent ;~rviccs. Thi, would require the rescnrdwr to do many ,ur,ey~ and ,1ud1es of <1uden1s.

While e11ch plan \\nuld be eff;:,ctive in controlling growth, each \\OUld rs'(Juire new or allocated resour\'es. Tuuion can

only h.: raised S10 each ~meMer by law, which gi,es NIC \ery l111lc money 10 help implemem grow1h plans. Thm is one reason Bcnncu esiabli~hed a growth tasl.. fon:e made up of studcnL,. faculty and area business people 10 look a1 1hc concept of growth control and make their own recommendation,.

Ac:cordmg to Benncu. there are no irnrnedime plans to build a new building lx'C3USe of limited money and land 10 build on. but NJC 1w e,pt'l'SSc,'.d intcresi in bu) mg t11¢ land th.> n<!ighboring mill rs on 1f the mill ever closes. However. there rue plans tu renovate Lee Hall to make more classrooms and offices for faculty. The Officers· Qunners will also be n:novated to make more offices.

According to Klly Nelson, an in~l!\Jctor on the growth task force. growth is incvitnble. But if someone were to give enough money to NIC to build a new building, main1nin the buildmg. give the building electricity and pay jonitonnl wages. it would be astronomical, he said. Nelson fears that NlC mighl become n high school for ill-prepared students. NIC shouldn·t pay for people to get a high school l.'ducution. he )Bid. ASNIC Presiden1 Maureen S1ich1er has a slightly different , iew point. She feel~ that NIC is here for the s1udcnts of the communny and thm employees are hc.'re to make ;ure 51udents get the c!duca1ion they came here for. N!C shouldn·1 tm-:ludc s1udems who really neeJ the help. she ~aid.

She got her 1wo year degree at Spokane Community College and then went on 10 receive her Bachelor and Master degrees at Eastern.

She came 10 Nonh ldoho College a yenr ago. She wns excited obout teaching at n commu11i1y college.

"I liked 1CJ1ching high school but love teaching here," Davis s111d. "I enjoy watching students grow and learn c~pecially the new students. Since if I have them in a beginner math class, I most likely will see them the next year inn more advanced clnss," Davis said describing why she enjoys teaching nt NIC. She likes teaching at NIC because students arc socrili.:ing a lot, highly mo1h•atcd and she enjoys working with them.

The enjoyment of mu~ic tilso helps 10 lill Davif life. She plays the liddle in a six person band called "Rar~ Mountain /\ire" in Coeur d'Alene.

They have played such places as Silver Mountain and the Coeur d' Altnc Reson. She is excited about o new song they have working on called "How can I mi~s you when you don't go away." Before she joined this band. she was in a band called the "Nonna! Pishin' Tackle Band" for three years.

Davis describes herself ns an "ansy hobby oriented person.'' Some of her other hobbies. outside of 1eoching students, are flying remo1c conirol nirplonc.s and showing dogs.

NBA players have right to oppose Magic's play Earvin "Magic" Johnson chose lo have unsafe SC;( with a female 11\31 had the HIV virus (which causes AJDS). he then chose 10 retire from 1he l)aJllC he loved so much and became o top spokesman of the virus, bu1 then he chose 10 come out of rc1iremen1.

I hope you rend last iS5ue's opinion in the sport's section about M11gic because now it's my tum and I live for arguing.

First of all, I don'I wanl 10 1nke anything awuy from Magic: he is an asset 10 the game and always will be. His competilivenc.~s. no-look passes and will to win will be remembered by fans forever. Magic fed his high school. college, nnd pro teams 10 championships.

Johnson. however, is a walking death sentence. h's sad bu1 ll\JC. Professional basketball is an in1ense physical game where cuL~. nosebleeds and bruises are n common pnn of the action. I rcmcm~r reading a Jeff Green book about Magic, and he snid that-he Commentary liked 1he bangi ng, bumping and physical play. I feel the players of the NBA had the right not to wont Magic in the league.

I think 1he reason it's such an issue is because of who Magic is :and ·, what he has done for the league. Just for argument's sake. let's say · some no-name. mediocre player from the Sacramento Kings was HIV positive and Magic wasn't. I honestly think Magic. as welt as everyone else in the league. would want him out immediately-end of story.

I believe players wouldn't play all-our. physical basketball agai,nst someone who wns HIV positive which could affect the outcome or the game. I talked to a lot of people who tend 10 ngrce with me. Lc11ing Magic ploy would be an invitation for anyone who wus HIV posilive to continue playing. Expcns have Sll4d the chnnccs of Magic infecting someone are like I billion 10 one-so ure the chances of the lonery and someone wiM that rcgulnrly.

There i~ also another moucr I would like to nucnd to. In the lost issue. there was a segment about Michael Jordon no1 having the gift 10 mak~ everyone around him belier, being able 10 take Magic's place and conunue to mnkc the NBA popular. This made me laugh. The only reason Jordan can't fill Magic's shoes is because they arc not big enough Now I'm no die-hard Jordan fan, but I'm not blind either.

Jordan is possibly the most devastating weapon in the history or the NBA. He has made lhe All-Star, All -NBA and All-Defensive teams and won MVP and Players of the Year honors. The mnn has led the league in scoring the last six years, gc1S his sht1re of triple doubles nnd Is nlwnys in 1he top in s1cals.

I honestly do not know how you can sny that Jordan docs not have the gin of makini everyone nround him belier. Look at the talent magic and Lrury Bird hod placed in 1heir laps when they entered the NBA as comp:ued 10 Jonfan.

When Jordan joined the Bulls, they were a sad team with average players. Now look al them, they have won two consecutive champion~hips and have what it takes 10 three-pent: somcthini; Magic and the mighty Lakers had never accomplished by the way.

About five years ago, Scouie Pippen wns averaging about seven points a-.gomc and now he is an All-Star, mode the Olympic "Dream Team" and has tripled his average 10 around 21 points per game. ~~e Grant hos do~bled his a,•erage in nearly every ca1egory since he JOt~cd I~ Bulls. Indisputable numbers aside, Jordon's "desire 10 win a1111ude hos ~I~ filtere~ throughout the team, and yes. he has the gift.

The NB~ IS ndlng high on a wove that Magic helped creoie. bu't under the cucumstonces he is gone. The NBA will continue 10 be popular. The Bulls might three-peat, the expansion teams are coming of age and new players arc emerging, like the massive and talented Shaqulllc O'Neal. . h's unfortunate that Magic was forced out the league, but I don·1 1~1nk anyboJy. including Magic. should have the right to jeopardize the hves of others and the NBA.

The campaign 10 defeat the initia1ive was unfair.

College time and money was not spent on 1hc campaign. but those in charge of the campaign had the advantage of kno"•ing everything about college procedure and policy.

I believe tho! they abused this advan1age.

Lawless claimed th at some of the in formation dls1ribu1ed on campus through nyers was misleading.

The board did not answer her on this mouer. Why? The board claimed 1ha1 Lllwless would have the right for free speech restricted on campus. What they don· t say is !hat they endangered 1his right by allowing an unfair campaign to dominate the politics on campus.

Davids source of track troubles II is 1ime for 1he college to reconsider it~ priori ties Recently tmck conch Christy l)a, id, ~cnt lette~ to Ii, e of NIC's a1hlctcs on hb track team, claiming in essence 1h01 dc,pi1c nll efforts 10 cqablish n team relutionship. their presence on the team wa.s no longer tolerable.

However. the 1mck team hns not only lost thc~c five (including one two-time All -American cross coun1ry runner); four others have quit. bringing the 1otnl athletic loss 10 nine s1udcn1~ for 1his year alone.

Lost year 11 others reponedly quit the tmc~ team.

In all fairness, who should be the one quitting the lmck team? It would app.:ar 20 :11hlc10:s could not get along wi1h their coat'h. Maybe the problem doesn't lie with the athletes bul with the coach.

The sign of a good C'oach is the ability 10 es1ablish team unily. A good coach should be able to recognize the abili ties nnd shoncomings of the teammates and know how 10 handle each effectively. A good coach should be able 10 s1rcngthcn the strcng1hs nnd bolster the weaknesses of the individuals 10 create the most effective perfomiance possible. How can D:ivids expect 10 teach the 1ca111 when his own ability to get along is in ques1ion?

Perhaps Da,•ids is an effoc1ive coach. Maybe the fault liei with the individual athletes. But the odds are 20 to one against him.

Perhaps he is o good physical 1rainer, but does that justify :i posi1ion as a track coach? Surely, the posiuon requires some people skills. something which Davids is apparently lacking.

In an nrticle in a local newspaper. Davids said he told

~omc team members if 1hey didn't quit, he would. They called his bluff. nnd 1hen Dnvid\ ~ent the ax hmer\.

Da vids ,hould e11her learn how 10 deal wi1h college studcnb quickly nnd quit bluffing or ju\t plain qui1. A chain is only a!> st rong as 11s weakest link. and it is apparent 1h01 Davids i~ l11c wea~ link in thi\ chain.

Not only has Davids ruined NIC's track team. he is costing the studen1s and tn.1tpnyers who support this college. The athletic <ilepanmcn1 's inability 10 find a positive solulion to Davids' problem creates an additional drain on 1he financial resources of the college. NIC is now paying tuition for five athletes who will no1 be performing the function they were contracted 10 perform.

The five athletes who received the letter.. were guaranteed !heir scholarships even though do not have 10 participate in track this season. This means the funding which could ha,•e gone toward five other s1udents, who are ac1ually doing some1hing for this college, is being spent on students who have been ousted by Davids' inep1 coaching abilitie.s.

It is a crime 10 sit idly by :ind let this happen to our students and 10 deny lhe real cause of this problem. Not only do the track students and the financial supporter.. of 1he college lose, NIC loses 1he prestige of even an adequate 1rack team. Wltn1 future studen1 is going to want 10 run on a team that has a record like 1his?

It is ume for lhe college - the associated s1uden1 body government and the administration - 10 decide which ii values most: the voice of 20 students or the voice of one coach.

Show some consideration over holidays Chri~tmns i~ coming near once agnin. Since it is the sc1L~On for 1:?iving nnd fncndlinc,,. 1ry domg it for someone !cs~ fonunate 1hon )'Ourself.

Most of the ,wdent~ ,II NlC live ,cry clo~ or are in the near area of NIC Ho"evcr. 1hcre :1re a 101 of student~ who do not live here Some or 1hem '"ill no1 hove the luxury of cclcbrnling Chm1ma( ""h their familie\ bock home.

While the 1onunn1e p.•nplc arc opening prc1~n1, nnd coting Chri~tmn~ dinner. the le~s fortunute :ire \llllng around cntmg Top Ramcn nnd w;uchmg the C<1,by ShOIV. While the r(lrtUOUIC people arc op;:mng their pre~cnts and CJting their turkey~. they think nbou1 Dominic Howard someone no1 bemg o.blc to spend Chri51mn, with th(or Opinion familic~ nnd fed a linlc guilty ilboUI it, m,c I did.

For e~ample. l work on a dally ba5is wi1h one or these less fortunn1e people. He 1s from Mon1nno, and he d0t'S no1 ge1 Jiang wi1h his family that well. For 1ha1 reason he does not go home for the holiday season\, Thank\g1vmg. Chmunos or spnng brcal (no1 really n holiday, but a vacation). L:m Chri s1mn,s I found my~lf thinking about lhis per,on while I was opening presen1s and entmg Chri,1ma~ dinner with my family. Seeing l did not even know his phone number, I could not call him and wish him ' Merry Chri\tmas.' l fell really bad abou1 1h1s considering how good or a friend he really 1s.

To make up ror that, I invited him over for Thanksgiving lhis year. I reh very good 1h01I helped out a less fonunate perwn than myself celebrate the holidays with someone instead or wa1chmg 1he Co~by show or MTV. I wtll also invite him over for Christmas because I f~I everyone 5hould ,pend the holiday season w11h people the) love or at the minimum very good friendb.

You do not have 10 give them any presents.JUSt lel them panicipatc in enjoying the holiday season with someone. However. I will buy this person a ~mall girt so that he can pan1c1pa1c in what i~ suppo:,e to be the happiest times of the year (be<ides the time you get out of )Our last final exam).

Instead of thin ..ing about that on ChriMmas Day or E,e. have the true Chmtmas spirit, and invite somebody. who is less fonunate than yourselr. over 10 celebrate the holidays wilh your family. A hnle kindness and caring on your pan could go a long way toward making S(lmeone else reel ,·cry special, and you will reel very good lha1 )OU llllllk that pe1SOf1 feel that way.

NIC students 9-0 Cardinals head for Vegas lost their 'nuts and bolts' chant

by Jeff Gmn

Lei your mind wonder ror o moment. J>rcicnd you wen1 to a college thnt had spirit. a college where you hod to gel 1icke1s for lhc game in advance just to get a sea1. Spiril. .. l'rn no11alking about !!hosts or phanioms, we have plen1y of 1hose filling the stands already. I'm miking about real school spiril.

My high school was a rio1. The stands were packed and 1he crowd "ent wild ir the referee made a c:111 for our team. If the referee made a call for the other team, ii was alw.tys n crappy call which proposed the rans 10 tome up wi1h some son of "zebra" call or a "nu1s and bolls" 1ype chnn1. Our learns weren't the bes1 1cnms in 1hc stale or nny1hing. bu1 Muden1 suppon in 1he siands never mode any of our teams play worse.

The thing ubou1 school spiril is 1h01 you cilher have II or you don'1. Sure, there will ul ways be 1ha1 guy or pal 1h01 goe~ to all 1he games and has more school spiri11han lhe averngc, bu1 i1's the people who go to see a game when 1hcy don'1 even know :my of lhc a1hlc1cs compe1ing 1h01gi,•c a school i1s spin!.

S1udcn1s should go 10 some of 1he Ryan Bronson sponing cvcn1s nl NIC. I mean. my school was hnlf 1he size of 1his college ond we had Opinion packed srnnds every time our 11!.lm pluycd.

Whether ii was foo1b31l or baskc1bnll, the rans cnme 10 ~how their ~·hoot ~piril. M0$1of lhc s1udent~ didn'I even like spons. lhey juM showed up because ii was something to do. Nonh ldnho's not exoccly an eAching ploce or any1hing. so you really wouldn'1 be missing any1hing 100 de1rimen1al.

I I.now 1his isn't high school. buc I'm gelling :1 li11tc 1ircd of rcadrng "in fronl of a crowd of around 200 hapless fans" in 1hc Coeur d'Alene Pnm every time 1hey cov~r one of our games. Our enrollment is over J,000 s1uden1s. It·s over 5,000 1f you count part ume SIUdCnL~ You don '1 have 10 take off your ~hin or painl your face red and gray. You don'1hn"e 10 cheer if you don·1wa11110. You don ·1 have: ltl buy candy m the conce\sion ~rnnd or sit next to your mmher. You doo'1 hnve 10 know what 1hc spon is abou1 or how lhcy l.ecp score.

All you h.ive 10 do is ask someone "here 1he gym b and bring a pillow if you have o skinny bun bccau,c 1hc scius are hard. 13e proud 10 be a "Cardinal."

And 1h:11·s ano1her 1hing. Hove you ever noticed 1ha1maybe o cardinal as a masco1isn'11he mos1 powerful produc1 for an athletic program? Gecz.e, J could ge1 in10 somc1hing like 1hc "S1camrollers" or lhc NIC "Barbarian Ax Murders" or o mascol wi1h a linte characier. We don't even have anyone 10 wear 1h01 cute linle bird outfi1 at 1he home games. It seems like a good masco1might be 11 "Boilermaker." Sure, why no1? And if you don'1 know whal o boilermaker is. ask someone. you'll know wha1 I mean. Maybe 1hcn we'll gel some school spirit!

I don'1 know. Maybe il's jus1 the re1iremen1-1ypc communi1y we live in or maybe people don't know we have a college, but the students don't have any excuse. The games are free, the popcorn Is wann and the athletes wear real uniforms.

Who knows? Someday NIC might be having tailgate parties outside lhe gym when the girls basketba.11 tcitm pla)s.

Normally I' m an optimist (even though I don't wan110 be). so I leave you with a quote from a fonner Cd' A Press journalist of inspiration to me. "See ya at the game."

Yeah, righ1.

Scnti11tl Rcporttr TI1l' NIC wres11ing team continued tl~ dominalion ovt'r foes the past 1hrce weeks as it boos1ed i1s dual n.-cord 10 9-0.

"The 1cam has a gre-al onc-1wo pun.:h and a reot

'Aladdin' conjures up swap A Nebraskan 'Christmas Carol' with Showboat Cinemas

by Rachel William., Stntil1l!I Rl!p<1ner Over 1bru wteb ago, NIC student S:irah Monigomery embarked on a mission rhal. al first, seemed like it would never be a~omplished. She volunteered 10 create a promouon:tl sci for the new movie, ¡Aladdin.¡ Montgomery worlcs a1 Showboar in Coeur d'Alene, and when her manager, Peuy,Cord asked for volunteer students 10 help with the setup in the lobby of the lheatu, she figured ii would be fun . One other person was helping with lilt set right Sarah Montgomery in rhe beginning, bur soon Montgomery created a display for the was lcfl alone with the huge task. Near movie 'Aladdin.' rhe completion of the project, another person stepped in 10 help with lhe final work The set was partinlly created from donations from area merchant~. The swap was made so 1ha1 the 1hcotcr received the supplies it nuded and lite businesses received advcnising.

Montgomery said 1hat 1h..- s~t was created 10 spark visu:1liz,11ion and inrnrcsl in the ft.Im. "Aladdin" is a children's movie so the visualncss should hulp promote h. according to Montgomery.

If one were 10 walk into 1hc.Showboa1 lobby, it would hardly be recogniublc. The 1ick~1 booth has been 1ronsfom1cd imo II colorful 111erchan1 slllJld, 1be back wall represents the marketplace os in the film. and the huge wall above the cuun1~r displays an enormous skyline of Baghdad. The hallway lcodlns back 10 the 1hea1tr where "Aladdin" is being shown is decorated as II big treasure room where Aladdin's lan)p wo..~ kepi af1.:r it was stolrn, Perhaps the most in1eces1ing parts of the set is'how lhc snack couol(r has been turned imo a giant hM!m 10:nt.

Montgomery said lhal one of lhc most difficult things 10 do ,was Ogurc out how 10 fill 1hc huge coffee bags io 1he m3rkctplace so they would appear full.

"We just stuffed them with popcorn. It worked really good," she explained.

After the finishing touclies. Montgomery said she stepped back and S\ll'\lcyed 1hc completed set, surprised at how huge it really was. ''lt was o big project, but In the end I was happy wi1b the results."

Aladdin opened on Nov. 25 and will run through next Wednesday.

Stampede In and Out provides backyard barbeque atmosphere

by Chrktopher Oancy Stniinet Reponu Late Saturday night as I was walking home from work. I noticed, es I peered from beneath my rain-soaked um~lla, a spotlight shining in the night sky. Curious as 10 lhc source of the light. I go1 in my car and proceeded up Lincoln Way. Remember that place Ibey were building upon Highway 95. next 10 Tidyman's? Well, in case you didn't notice, h's a restaurantand was also the source of lhc light- the Stampede In & Out Restaurant 10 be precise.

With my interest peaked, l made a note of lhc grand opening evenl and decided to stop in sometime. This is how ii went. l was immediately impressed by the look

of the place. II was far more than I'd hoped it would be: modem and painted such a nice color. This was llOl the end of my odmira1ion, as I soon discovered, as I stepped acfoss lhc ornate lhrcshold.

The motif is something of a cross be1wecn 1he navor of the old Southwest and the navor of McDonalds, elegant and yet so very procr.ical. I was impressed, 10 say the least.

The music was as perfectly conformed to the ploce as ilS atmosphere hau1e couture:

Country Western with a dnsh of Muzak sensibility 10 liven the mix. All or this sets the stage for what l would describe as one of the most unique, nouvelle eating expericn= in town.

There were some difficulties though, one was 1ha1 l hardly stampeded anywhere. In fact, there was a pre11y long line. Still. when a1 lasl it was my tum 10 onfer, the girl who 100k the order was friendly and helpful. I wasn't having an easy time trying to decide what 10 have. thanks to lhe incredible array of choices on the sprawling menu. As l glanced ov.:r the list I noticed something that scis this place apart from the resl of lhc burger joints along the strip: beer on tap.

Shocked and happily surprise, I decided on one of the "value meals," which are actually ruthcr inexpensive, and struck out in search of a table. Here again. another difficulty. There were no tables available and nfler shOl1 wail I found myself seared at a

recemly vacated spot amid a heap of refuse.

Once again the excellenl service saved the day when right away a girl quickly cleared the table as she joked easily about the crowded atmosphere. Only a few more minutes had passed when the girl returned, thi5 time with my piping hot meal in hand.

So, what aboul lhc food? Well. it wasn't eJtactly wha1 l'd expected, it was really quite good, and most imponantly. it was a much needed break from the norm. I never could have predicred such an authentically backyllrd barbecue Oavor. Before this afternoon I hadn't realiz.ed that barbecue rould be such a refreshing change. I recommend i1 highly and plan 10 come again and again 10 the "Stampede In & Out."

When the evil aliens dismembered him, he never even bled.

I wept so darn hard that I'd wisheol were deadl

When he was back in time, he didn't even have some bread.

I think my friend Data. ls soon to be dead. The dreads of desperation are tangling_ out of my head.

I wish I knew what to do for the robot Data tried and true.

Franticly thoughts of mortality around my head sped.

I hope he knows I love him through and through.
