Enrollment information released by Leigh Raines Assis/0111 News Editor Registration went more smoothly this semes1er than last time and fewer students were enrolled, said Registrar Karen Streeter. According to Streeter, registration went more smoothly because the registration system. which was new last semester, didn't break down and was more familiar 10 those who worked at registration. Enrollment is down slightly from lasl semester. This semester only 3.002 s1udcnts enrolled compared 10 last semester" s 3,061 students. Streeter said it is not unusual for spring semester to have lower enrollment than the fall semester. In fact, 1992's spring semester had only 2,996 students enrolled. TI1e number of vocational students increased slightly- from 317 last semester 10 319, while the number of academic students decreased from 2,744 last semester 10 2,683 this semester.

College to comply with Disabilities Act by Mork/\. J erome Sporrs Editor The North ldoho College Board ofTrns1cc, recently pa,~cd a resolution by a 3-0 vote which will require the ~chool to comply with Americnns With Dbabilitil!!o /\cl. The American, With Disabili1ics Act, which was enacted hy Congress in 1992. requires thm person, with di, abilnics muM be provided with the same npponumty and ncce., s to education and ,crviccs ns those wnhou1 disabilnie~. The Board of Tru~tee, ,wtrd in i1s ruling thm compliance with 1hc Americans With Disabili1ic~ Act is a priority of thi~ in~titution and th.II NlC intends to comply [ully with the requirements. The Board of Trustees also direc ted the school adminimation to prepare, publhh and distribute policy Mntcment~ nnd procedures to ~om ply with the letter and spirit of the Americans With Disabiliucs Act and 10 take prompt action to implement the requirements of the act. NlC President Robert Dennett pointed out ii would undoubtedly be impossible to comply with the act immediately and that the act allows live years from the time of evaluation to ~"Ome into full compliance with the ruling. The resolution goes on to say that the administration shall solicit the involvement of the community and individuals with disabilities in the self-evaluation and in senin11 priorities for compliance. The adminim111ion must also report 10 the board regarding the progress made toward compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Rolly Jurgens, dean of administration, reported on his preliminary findings regarding NIC's compliance with the act and called the evaluation process "monumental," noting that every piece of literature the college produces. and every program it offers must be evaluated and eventually must
comply wi1l1 the pro, 1,ions of the .icl "It's a terrific undertaking," Jurgens ,aid " We're rinding thing~ all over carnpu, that need lo be Jltcred phy\lcall} a, well as program-wi\c. We're doing what we can. as needs become known. to occommodate tho,c Mudem, on the ba,is of whJt 1, the mo,1crucial need." ''We ore still under the proc:css of evaluating the buildings on campu,," Jurgen, said. ''There ar~ 22 build111g, on campu,, for each building 1hcre is a ~3-pagc report th.,t mu\t bc lilied ou1.

We will do all we can fo r our handicapped ,tudems." In the Hl'nt any student. employee or member of the public feels that any activity. program, sef'\ ice or facility of NIC does not conform to 1h.: letter or intent of the Americans With Di abilities Act, a grievance procedure should be followed 10 voice that concern in a mutual effort to reach rea\onable accommodation. In the grievance procedure, a wriuen complaint must be liled with the dean of administrations, giving details of the complaint and reason why the activity, program, sef'\·ice or facilit} does not comply with the act. Jurgenf office is localed in Lee Hall. Within 10 working days, the dean must meet with the pe~on(s) filing the complaint in an effon to gather more information. Within IO working duys after that meeting, the dean must discuss the complaint with the presidem of the college. After five more working days, a written decision regarding the complaint will be issued by the dean. The board will then make a decision regarding the solution.

Celebrate love: Give 365 gifts 1111, 1s nat about Valentine·, Di1y. It'~ not like I ho,c a problem with Valentine·~ Day. For one day during the year, our flJ!1 of the "orld becomes heam and Cupids. l'O'iCS ~ml!II a little more fragrant. candy t:istes a little S\\eeta and hugs are a little more free Lnccy cards and boxes of chocol,11~ are presented with eager :inricipation. and 1ioople in love take the lime to let the other person know how they feel. Something 1hut is neglected all too much the rest of the year. On this day ear-marked for love, people will take long walki;, share long tulk~ and n:lish the company of someone lhcy cherish. They will use the exCtJsc of n nouonnl celebration to dnnk deep from 1hc stream of companionship in an attempt to quench lhe thir'!;t they suffer from nil year long without realil.ing it. · Too b:id they need nn excuo;e. for the price of a little cffon. they con Patricia Snyder drink until the ~trcam becomei a deep. mighty ri,cr, growing stronger Opinion the nmrc it is u~.

same subject, different view 'Friendly' Californian tired of trashing from Idahoans . I was in1eres1ed in Randy Cain's lencr concerning 1he
i>norance of vo1crs nbou1 clec1ion issues. I absolu1cly agree ;ith him. As a fom1er policicnl science s1uden1 nt coll~gc, I 3m only 100 well aware of 1hc opo1hy of m_ony Amcncans where politics is concerned and I see 1hc cesung of voters as 311 exccllcnc idc11. Howe,·er. my questions would be of a different nature: 1.) Do conserva1ivc. Bible-chumping senators really d? a proper job of upholding 1he Firs1 Amendment, which clearly nd,•oca1es the separniion of church and s1a1e? Is ii right that the leader of the American people should pardon six criminals whose crimes are far more serious than merely paying "cash under the table?"
2.)
J.) Do the "iews of Pat Buchanan, Jesse He lms. Pai Robenson and other fundamcn1alis1s really represent the "Jivcrsi1y of American culture" (10 quote Mr. Cain himself)? 11 seems as ir Mr. Cain and other Coeur d'Alene conserva1ives are simply feeling sour grapes following a beating in the recent presider11ial elections. Come on conservatives, let us bury the ha1chc1. We have enough problems as i1 is and complaining is not going 10 help, so al least give che newly elected presidcn1 and his ndmin is1ration a chance.

Card Wrestler stuns Simon Fraser with 'the funk' by JelT Green St111inel reporter Simon Fr:iscr·s coach Mike Jones predicted a victory for his sqund: he pl\.--dic1cd ~rong as the NJCAA founhl'llllked Cnrds racked up three victoric~ ogainst talented NAIA foes. NIC handed NAIA powerhouse Simon Fraser, which was ranked second in the notion, its eighth loss of the scnson on Jan. 29. The two squads battled ton 21-21 draw lastyeM. Bren Stubblelield's thrilling lirst round pin O\'Cr Clansmen grappler John Melling at 142 ignited the crowd which was estimated at 650. Melling. a defending NAIA nntionol chlltOp. seemed in control until Stubblelield threw him to his back with an exciting athletic move coined ns ''111c Funk" by former NIC standout and assistant coach Many Boday. "I \\IIIS just am01,ed. I couldn·t believe that I pinned him; I ligured it would be close," S1ubbleficld said. Stubblelietd·s pin wns crucial as the cenm score was 12-3 01 that point, according to NIC coach John Owen. .Mlltk Echevarriu and Eric McDowell followed with ,•ictorics, while the match !hot followed looked like a seven-minute street brawl. The crowd went wi ld as Justin Abdou, a
three-ume NAIA champion and Canadian Olympian, fought off an aggressive Jeremy Pascoe in a heated 5.3 victory at 167. Abdou pinned Pascoe earlier this yellt Dt the Clackamas Invitational. "I just wanted to go out and wrestle hard and show him (Abdou) whnt I am made of." Pascoe said. Shane Cass put the icing on the cake with a last second takcdown at 190. Heavyweight Jon Parsons had his hands full as he hooked up with a 1992 Olympic silver medalist in the form of Jeff Thue. Thue won the match 13-4. but the Cards won the war 22-13. Earlier 1hu1 day, Lhc CMds downed Pacilic University 32-3. The score. however. is deceiving as NrC won two matches in sudden death ovcnime and two in the closing seconds. Man Paulson and McDowell both came out victorious in their ovenime bouts, and Mike Smith recorded a last second takedown to beat his opponent 8-7. Another NAIA powerhouse come into town as sixth-ranked Western Montana tangled with the Cards focb. 4. Ja.\on Denton started the team off on the right foot as he boosted his personal r<."Cord 10 unimpressive 38-5 with n ,,ictory over former NIC All-American Shawn foos,~n. Two national chnmp~ ~uared off as Mnrk Echevarria beat T.R. Williams 10-8 DI 150.

Ricks i~ ranked seventh in the 113tion a~ of thi~ week, but they only ~at~ by seven down there and we have the home court advantage this time.'' The Cardinal:! used that to their atlvan1agc ~ they shut down Ricks' out~idc shooting and mack the Viking~ won. tbc ball into the middle more. Boch lwn.~ matched up well inside as well as on the perimc1c:r. Ricks threw in a press lhat swprisc:d NIC at first, bui afler the Cardinals got the feel for it, they had no
problems breaking It. Landvauer &aid the team needs IO work together more because they have a IOI or talent; they jusc need 10 use iL
McAdam~ also said they ne,•di:d to work on getting their head~ in the l_!ilme and play hard for the whole 40 minute,. The Card~ se..-mcd to a,crompfoh lx!th of these goal\ a.~ they pulled together and ;Ill worked hard 10 accomplish their final gqlll, which was to win. Before the gam~.

Thcy ~med 10 Jo ju,t thJL Wuh only 15 tumov.:r., 47 pcrct'nt ~hooting from the field and 88 pt>rccnt from the Cree throw line. the NtC Cl!fdinals e~ploded to victory. The fa.~ ball movement of 1hc Cardim1ls and their fast paced gamt kept the Vikings on their toes and alen and kept their defense gu~ing at all times. Afcer many prolonged Free-throws and numerous fouls by the Ricks ccam, the Lndy Cardinals cnme out victorious after losing to the Vikings earlitr on the road. Hill said 11.\I week, with E.Ulllh, the ladi~'S got over the hump, buc Colorado Nonhwcstcrn dcsU'oyed lhat hope.
"This 1s 1he key part ol the year ,end we nel'd to be more con\lslcnt in our game." McAdam, said, "Our con,istcooy throughout th~ tz,unc is whnt we need to work on.
