Dust pollution major problem affecting NIC

by Rachel J. Williams ~tcutil'e Editor

The average students may no1 notice 1he dust 1ha1 Oies behind their cnrs as 1hey travel along River Avenue toward the Dike Road or 1hc library parking 101, bul Supervisor of Grounds Mike Halpern notices. Especially when he's sining in his office amidst 1hc haic of dus1 1ha1 fogs 1he air or lries 10 clean his compu1ers day after day, only 10 find 1hem dusty again in the morning.

Halpern first began studying the si1ua1ion n while back when he feh 1he dus1 wns becoming a serious problem.

He added 1ha1 the dust pollution had bothered him for the las1 1hrce or four

thousands of dollars wonh of machines.

The biggest concern, however. appears 10 be the fac1 tha1 River Avenue is highly used by 1he college, Halpern said. He has been collec1ing dnia from lraffic moni1oring sys1ems 1ha1 coun1 1he number of cars traveling down roads on campus. In a seven-hour period, an average of 1.400 cars drive down River, 1oward 1hc library parking lot. In 1he summer, public use of the arcu picks up significantly because of the bench and 1he Cen1cnnial Trail running right along lhc Dike Road. Halpern is worried 1he dus1 is hannful 10 lhe people breathing ii in.

"I firmly believe 1hcre·s a heallh hazard 10 sit and breath this stuff all day

years. bu1 he jus1 recen1ly began doing

somelhing abou1 ii.

Most of 1hc problems s1em from Hubbard S1ree1, according 10 llnlpern, where the logging trucks IUrn on 10 River Avenue on their wny 10 1he mill. Halpern said he sees the trucks dragging dirt and gravel all the way down Hubbard, which is unpaved, and pulling it al l out in the pathway of cars driving down River. On dry days. the dus1 mes al l over, coms 1he vehicles parked in the library parking 101, fillers imo the buildings and seules on everything, Halpern said.

During the Inst year, Halpern said he made several inquiries abou1 who was responsible for the problem. Though the surrounding land belongs 10 either 1hc college, the mill or the railroad, who all own propeny surrounding the streets, i1's the city who owns Hubbard. The mill and 1he city have recemly made o fow cffons to reduce the dust.

"The mill seems helpful," Halpern said. He added that the city sends a street sweeper by. and the mill wa1ers and oils the din road.

"They con oil ond wa1er all they want; the lrucks still drag it out," Halpern said, l1's not just 1he dust iiself, bu1 the damage lhe dust does, Halpern said, pointing ou1 lhe expensive equipmen1 and computers occupying 1he desks in 1he security building and the new library. He said it· s impossible 10 keep them clean and 1hc dust is really bad ror the

building and those in the surrounding

areas.

Halpern said he·s tnlkcd with Ci1y Air Quali1y Analys1, Dan Redline, who has helped out a grea1 deal. Halpern has also showed pho1os he·s rnken of 1he dust Oying 10 Mayor Al Hassell in an effon 10 make him aware of the problem. ..On one hand, rm geuing n good re sponse," Halpern said ... bu1 on 1he other hand, nothing seems 10 change."

Redline s1epped in and began researching March 5 10 collect darn on the dus1 paniclcs along with other pollu1an1s in 1hc area. He es1ima1es the research will hall io another two weeks.

Research is expected 10 pick up agnin in the fall, possibly targeting olher po1entinl pollu1ed areas, Redline said.

ASNIC attorney addresses meeting

by J.A. Jeske Sentinel Rt!por111r NIC s1uden1 auorney Bob Brown addressed the Associnted Students of Nonh ldnho College at their Friday meeting, saying he admired them for sticking 10 their guns. even if he disagreed with their decision.

Brown told the boord 1ha1 34 students had called his office to schedule appoinunents concerning legal problems they faced, with about nine or ten who fa.lied to show.

"Some were shaky." he said, referring to issues S!lme students brought to him for advice. He advised the board nol 10 stan a Jegnl aide service on campus as il may lead students to believe an anorney has a "drnwer full of magic wands and cnn fix a host of nilmenis." He snid il was more imponant 1ha1 s1udcn1s know Whal the service is for so 1ha1 no one is mislead.

Financial advisor Lanny Stein, snid

that a $2,500 budget has been previously allocated for student attorney fees and 1h01 in past years il has been typically used up.

Brown sa.id his services extended only 10 the point in terms of advising students of their rights in a panicular situation and that if a student intended 10 proceed with a cnse it was then the students responsibility 10 fund their. case. He added thal he was always willing to continue 10 represen t students in an action if 1ha1 was thei r choice or to suggest another auorney if they chose.

He then asked 10 address the board on a personal note. saying no one but his wife knew he would do so and hadn't expected press coverage. but he felt he must proceed on a personal basis.

Brown said, "I admired what you did in terms of sticking to your guns with the LGBA issue, even though I disagree with your decision. You had 10 stick to ii and work it out." adding that. he knew il was

hard for them to deal with the issue. that their position may be used against them nt a future date, but 1hn1 wasn't the real concern.

He then urged the board to look at becoming involved in the movement against the Idaho Citizen's Alliance which seeks to legislate discrimination against homosexuals in Idaho. as a way "10 shine up their tarnished image a Jillie bit."

Ryan Higgens. ASNIC pro-tern, who chai red the meeting in the absence of president Christa Manis. said they would take the mauer under advisement 01 their next workshop meeting.

Brown said he was not representing anyone but himself and would be happy 10 continue being the siuden1s' attorney in the upcoming year.

In other business n statement by Manis was read into the record sayi ng the LGBA con troversy was ··moot" and $200 has been set aside in a fund cannarkcd for the LGBA club.

Advisor Stein reminded the board that the overdraw fund was not an over-ride fu nd and also that money should be allotted on a club agenda. not a class agenda. '"A bloody baule has been previously fought over this," he said.

New Activities Director. Travis Ribordy. said april 29 has been set for the spring ASNIC Cruise with a 6:30 p.m. boarding time, and the blood drive has been SCI for April 20.

Dean of Students, David Lindsey said NIC is the only school that pays for insurance within its budget, bul that, "We will have a balanced budget by the end of the yenr." He also questioned the remining of auorney Peter Erbland. 10 rcprcseo1 ASNIC saying. 'Tm not sure you folks are in a healthy posi tion to be spending student· s money . . . and it seems inconsisten1 10 continue 10 seek his advice.'' adding that a fund should be established just for anomey fees, if they

Japanese students experience NIC

by Fekadu Klros St111i11el Reporter

"I want to s1:iy here forever." said Miki Kaneko, one or 1hc 17 panicipants of the 1994 Nagnsaki Junior College Student Cultural Exchange program.

The sole purpose of this program was to introduce the poniciponis to American culture, to give tl1em practice in convcrso1ional English and to give all those invoh•cd a chance 10 learn more about Japan. _said Jill Jurvclinc. Home Stay family coordinator and teacher for the program.

"People here arc kind and cheerful'' K3lleRo said. "and Coeur d'Alene is a beautiful city."

Another panicipant Naomi Ikehara said she liked the freedom students in America have and the beauty of Coeur d'Alene. Ikehara said the things that surprised her about American culture included praying before dinner, St. Patrick· s Day and the amount of pop

Americans drink.

"I was surprised by the number of Japanese cars in America," Lkehara said.

The panicipants of the program included n\ore than the 17 Japanese students. Instructors. host families, area schools and NIC students were largely involved in the program.

The purpose of the program was achieved through different activities, Jurvcline said. The panicipruus were given classes. went 10 area schools. specifically 10 C:mfield Middle School and Bryan Elementary School, in order to learn about the American educalion system.

In Bryan Elementary School the participants had a chance 10 interact with elementary school students. The students enjoyed the activity and there was good lnteraciion, Jurvelinc said.

Both parties were teaching each other about their culture; the Japanese students wrote the children·s name in Japanese alphabets while the

elementary kids t3lked 10 them in English. It enhanced the purpose of the program, Jurvelinc said.

They also wen1 to the Coeur d'Alene Tribe's reservation where they visited the school there and panicipated in a tribal dance. Jurvcline said that was one of the highlights of the program.

They also learned about a tribal dance that was brought to them by a member of the Coeur d'Alene Tribe.

'This tied well with our visit of the Cataldo Mission," Jurveline said, "They were able 10 learn about the past as well as the present America."

They took skiing lessons and most of the students pul that as one of their favorites activities. with shopping following closely.

One or the things missing from the program was the Jack of involvement

by NIC students which would have given the visiting students a chance to see the behavior of Americans their age, Jurveline said.

Jason Tracy. an NIC student who

was involved in the program, said he enjoyed the interaction with the Japnnese students. H~ said ii helped him improve his Japanese.

"It was also interesting 10 see the cultural differences and si milariues," Tracy said. "I will probably do ii again."

"They arc mature, they adopt fast. lhey are reserved and they arc respectful," said Shirley Broden, a resident of Nonh Idaho who hosted Masayo Tabata.

Afler three weeks or educational and fun-filled experience Nagasaki Junior College Student Cultural Exchange program pnrticipants gradua1ed on March 18 and headed home on March 19 with mixed feelings and a passioo for skiing.

Their host families said the experience is something they will cherish. 3lld some said they will do it agalo.

Proposal by Gee could redirect NIC nursing, business progliams

by Sherry L. Adkins St'11tintl Reporter

A proposal 10 redirecl the adminis trative reponing structures of campus business and nursing programs could be in effec1 by fall semester. according 10 Dean of Instruction Jerry Gee. In December. Gee introduced a proposal to the Instru ctional Council to move the nursing and business programs under the direction of Associa1c of Applied Technology Dean Barb Benneu. Since 1hcn, an appointed I I-member committee consisting of faculty representatives from every division has been meeting to discuss 1he pros and cons of the idea.

Gee stressed the fact that the proposal is sti II in 1he preliminary stages and said that a lot remains to be done before any changes will occur. Before approval, a concrete proposal that would include input from the appointed commince would have 10 be agreed on. The proposal would then go back to the Instructional Cou ncil. be brieny discussed with the groups involved and then ultimately end up before lhe Administrative Council and possibly the Board of Trustees. he said.

Gee says the proposal is necessary for the equalization of Associate Deans' workloads and to unify the campus.

"Right now there is one associate dean that's responsible for 80 faculty and one that's responsible for about 30," Gee said. "It makes sense 10 me that if 1 can equalize those work loads. we can function more effectively.''

Gee added that the proposal is not dealing with any funding or curriculum changes and the

programs 1hemsclvcs would 1101 become vocational. only the adminis1ra1ivc reponing ~1ruc1urcs would be affected.

Gloria S1rnndquis1, vice-chair of the nursing division. said 1ha1 Gee has kept th e lines of communication open and has encouraged inpu1 and al1crna1ivc ideas from everyone involved. Although it may take a linle gening used to working with the idea of moving into a different division, her concerns deal with the academic degree transferability of the nursing progrom. she said.

Gee maintains 1hat one of the purposes of the proposal is to "break down bridges between the entities of the inmuctional divisions.'' He said this is some1hing we're all guilty of.

"I'm really optimistic that this commiuec. will be advantageous 10 everyone involved," he sllid.

Strandquist said she can appreciate what Gee is trying 10 achieve and that campus unilication is a good quali1y for a community college to possess.

Despite the haziness and lack of details of the proposal so far. both agree lhat the changes should only occur at the administrative level and not affect the curriculum of the programs.

An unexpected phone call last Thursday seemed to clarify priorities for Strandquist. The call was from the nursing staff at Kootenai Medical Center, who had called to praise the abilities of one of Strandquist's s1udents. As she hung up the phone she was smiling.

"I guess it doesn't matter where we're at," she said. "As long as we don't change lhe quality of of the program, we can always mwntain and improve it.".

POLLUTION from Page 1 problems, but he said he won't know until more daui is in.

Both Redline and Halpern agree that the problem would probably be best solved by paving Hubbard even though the ci1y has said the heavy lllJCks would tear the cement 10 shreds. Halpern argues that River Avenue has put up with the strain of the trucks for years. Plus, he said the city made them pave the parking lot behind the 5 million library afler it was built.

That would place the responsibility with the city.

Halpern said.

He added that if nothing is done to help the problem, he jus1 might install a sprinkler sys1em right in front of lhe building just to water the meet. He said it would look awfully silly. but he has 10 do something 10 help prevcn1 the dust or lit least keep it on the ground.

Brockhoff said, "Right now we ore on the budgeting process. so the 1ranspor1a1ion will be provided as required."

Said Bun Crupper. NIC's 1rnnspor1a1ion supervisor.

"Right now we tire going 10 rent a 1ransporta1ion service_, but if there is a much greater need 1he ocw van will be purchased."

According 10 Crupper, a new van with the chair lift will coM

NIC students not yet reimbursed by health insurance company

by J.A. Jeske Sentinel Repontr This common excuse. heard and used by many, may well be the crux of some recent Oak over nonpaymcn1of insurance claims 10 NIC s1udcn1s.

According 10 Associa1cd StudenlS of North Idaho College Presidcn1 Christa Manis, 1his is the gist of a con,•ersa1ion she hod with Renaissance Insurance Agencies, which is 1he carrier for NIC studcnl's heahh insurance.

According to Manis, s1uden1 Mark Higby filed n claim wi th lhc company on Feb. 2, bu1 has ye1 to receive rcirnbursemeni. ASNIC Pro-Tern Ryan Higgens has, 10 dale. no1received his refund and according to Manis, 1hcrc may be many more studems who have ye1 10 come forward. A conversation with a Mega Life spokesman. 1he fonner insurance carrier for NIC s1uden1S, expressed o concern to Manis that Personal Insurance Administta1ors. Inc., was not properly licensed 10 do business in the Staie of Idaho.

Idaho Code states 1hn1"No person ~hull ac1 os or hold himself

ou1 10 be an administr:uor In this slnlc, other than an adjus1er licen~ed in 1his s1a1e." A filing fee of $ 100 is proscribed in the srn1u1e ns well and Manis said it is her undersmnding that a surely bond is also required.

Inquiries by Manis promp1ed o Feb. IO lc11er from Ka1hy Somcnon. vice-presidenl of R.I.A., in which she says 1h01since the problem was brough1to her a11en1ion ac1ion wns 1aken 10 resolve the si1uo1ion ns quickly 05 possible.

"Nei1hcr P. I.A., Monumcntnl Life Insurance Company, or Jardine Group Services main1ain thn1there has been any wrongdoing," the lc11cr said In part.

However, in a Feb. 28 le11er to Monumental Life from 1he Idaho Dcpartmenl of Insurance, Dcpu1y Allorney General Thomas J. Holde n said 1ha1, P.l.A. does nol have a cenilicate 10 act as a tlurd pany payer in 1his slate anti 1heir position 1hat they cnn pro,•ide services under n cenificn1c issued 10 ano1her en1i1y is incorrec1.

In n March I lcner to Manis

from Holden, he said, "We hnve directed P.I. A. 10 cease ac1l ng as 1hird-pnny a.dminis1ra1or in this State."

Since P.I.A. 1s 1he payor of claim~ for Rcnnissnncc, where docs 1his leave claim-holders?

According 10 an unconlinned source, Monumen1al hnd property dnmngc 10 its building in California during the mos1 rcccn1 earthquake there. Mnnis said 1h01 P.I.A.. however, has been 1hc third pnny payor for the Univcrsi1y of Idaho for some 1ime.

Manis said she phoned Somerton who 1old her 1h01 checks were basically jus1wai1ing 10 be mailed when the cease and desisl order came from the ldnho Departmen1 of Insurance and ihot rcceni eanhqunkes in California had no adverse effec1s on 1hcir operations. exccpl 1h01 1hcir phone number hod been clrnngcd. No absolute confimiation of 10 whom or when che,cks would be is~ued by wa) 1mmedi:a1ely available according to Manis.

Student ponders point of taking those unnecessary classes Wh3J does Biology 100 mean to you? Quite a bit if you're a science major. but absolutely nothing if you're not. U your major is undecided it could go either way. Whnt if you're an English. an or thcmcr major? Biology is not going to be a big help 10 you in your career, bu1 it's a requirement for graduation in nearly every major.

Most people argue that it's good 10 tnke all these exlnl classes because it helps make us more well-rounded and it helps broaden our horizons.

This would be true if people took the time 10 study and learn what was being 1augh1 in the cou~. but often times people remember just enough to get by, then conveniently forget it all. Or they'll ask around and !ind out "which teacher is the easiest one 10 tnkc for this coursc1' Mar1'Aar,:,n Peny Most students uy to absorb those Opinion classes that arc going 10 have some impact or bearing on what they do in the future. right? If people are only gening by in these other classes and not lCllll\ing anything, why bother making them requirements?

People a.~ a whole arc very one dimensional and only spend time hanging around one g,oup of people. Usually if you're a 1heater major, you hang around with theater people and if you're o baseball player, you spend most of your time with other athcletci;. Toe«e people arc imponnnt to you nnd they're whom you spend most of your time with. TI1is is the way it is when we get seuled into our c.:ircers. Where are our horiwns being broadened?

If we're nOI going to remember anything we learned in biology when we enter the real world. then we shouldn' t be taking it in the lirst place. Science majors. don't get me wrong.

There's nothing wrong with biology if that's wha1 you're in to.

I was only picldng on you because I'm a journalism major and I don'15ee any need for it.

Let's look at ii from your view. If you're a science major, you probably pay close anent ion 10 your chcmisuy. mnlh nnd biology classes. Whnt about llteratwc, or bcner yet, History 1121 What docs spending three hours a week in a cl~ learning about the Civil War have 10 do with what you do in science?

This is only my s«ond semester here at NIC and I've been having trouble dealing with the fact that in May I' m only going 10 have two core classes to show (0< the whole year. With the time I spend on the Sentinel and other four journalism classes it's hard to get the mo1iva1ion 10 worlc on classes that have nothing 10 do with what doing I'm the rest of my life. I'm sure many of you feel the sa.me way.

I feel I'm being held back and I' m never going to graduale.

I've decided I'll take some of the unnecessary core classes over the summer when there is no Sentinel. That way I should have time to focus on my non-journalism classes and then ii won't lake me five years to graduate from this "1wo-yeat'' institution.

I jUSI think we should be spending mon: time wooong where our rw talents lie. Having more practical experience in what we want 10 do when we get out of here is a better use of our time and makes mon: sense than taking 20 unnecessary co,e credits.

Thieves make it rough for all of us Youns a student or as o taXpayer nre being ripped off in yet another way. Dill you know that you are being cheated by your own follow studcms, those who rue supposedly in the race for education right next to you? Those robbing you are not even ancnding NIC. In fact, they are not challenging you academically or physically from any institution. The only thing they do is pretend to be students for a few days by applying for financial aid and registering for classes.

These students never show up to any of their classcs, and that's not the shocking thing. Some of these students have filed for linanclal aid, received money and merely picked up the check and walked away with it.

In shon, lhere arc s1udenis who are walking away sc:o1free with financial aid money thm has been provided for them by federal funds. ln other words, your taX money.

You. as hard-working students. have a right to be angry about this. You have a right to wonder what's being done to prevent the theft of financial aid money. Fonunately, there is something being done. There is good news. The numbers of financial aid fraud cases arc down from past years, due 10 measures taken by colleges to prevent the theft of financial aid moneys.

David Lindsay, dean of students, said the problem is universal and every institution experiences problems with fraud. That's jUSI what it is. fraud. The incidents where this is the case, those student's names are turned over to a collection agency, which in tum, attempt.s 10 return the money to the institution it was stolen from.

According 10 Lindsay. the problem is not what it used 10 be. In the past. apparently, there have actually been people who have applied for aid Ill, let's say, five or six differenl

colleges. If thni person receives aid from N!C, U of I, SCC. SFCC. EWU, WSU and who knows what other schools, imagine how much cn.~h that person is pocketing at the expense of federal lllXpaye~? After all, M:n't thc lllXpaycrs the ones who fund the money that is dislributed back to the colleges and universities for use with financial nid?

Some of this hassle could be avoided if instructors would drop people from classes when they don't show up the first dny. That's what they're supposed to do, unless the student has spoken 10 them previously and arranged differently.

Anyhow, a few of the measures taken to pre1·en1 financial aid fraud have included the cxttn.sioo of the dale when studenis can 13ke their financial aid checks. Yes, anOlher ex1111 week to wait for the money. It's 11 pain for the students who are really anending classes and really deserve the aid, but it's helping reduce the problem.

Lindslly mentioned how this is ju.51 an example of how 10 pen:cnt of the people make things hard for the rest of us.

Reminds one of grade school, doesn't it? One brany lad throws a spit wad and all the obedient ones have to Ix: quiet with their heads down on their desks for a half hour along with him.

This jUSI Illustrates how dishoDCSI folks have found yet another way to make life just a little more difficult for us law-abiding citil.ens.

So, don't be alarmed when the financial aid checks are withheld for an extra wed(; NIC is just uying to help you out in the long run. There are people out here who are uying to keep your money from being stolen and sometimes at the expense of convenience, bu1 wbal else can bedooe?

It is with bi11crswee1 feelings tho! l submit my resignation from the Nonh Idaho College Board.

I run sad 10 leave such o fine institution but eager 10 bea par1 of NlC's fu1ure in a new dimension.

The decision 10 join the S101e Boord of Education was not easy. NIC is in the middle or some thriving os well as trying 1imes.

I 11m proud to be o part of 1he board's well reasoned posi1ions to represcn1 the studenis' financial concerns in the Malanya sui1 and 1he students' righ1 10 form clubs under the guidelines of the laws of !his s101e and nation.

The long struggle 10 mokc the Hedlund Building o

healthy learning cnvironmen1 again confirn1s the Board's sense of in1cgri1y.

I will not miss the long mce1ings 10 grapple wi1h such wcigh1y issues. I will miss the hcanfeh dialogue and caring concern of oil !he folks who work 01 NIC. I tn:aSure the sa1isfnc1ion of seeing 1hc new library open and the sharing of facili1ies wi1h other ins1i1u1ions. Such experience adds 10 my abilily 10 provide leadership m the sia1e level.

I urge the college communi1y 10 expedhe the s1ra1cgic plan. Koo1enai Couniy's growth only acccn1uo1cs 1he need for program planning which provides 1he guide for 1he growth of our school. Both need long 1ern1 vision.

Las1 week I anended my first s1n1e board meeting. I am awes11Uck and exci1ed by !he issues before 1hai Board.

The training provided by !he national communi1y college conferences and 1he seasoning or three and n half ycors on this board will prove invaluable. Thank you all for your suppon and insightful observn1ions. I'll need 1hcm even more now!

This Sufi blessing sums up my board experience and whal I wish for 1he fu1ure.

Illegally-parked pines: Where are their parking passes, Kathy?

"Good for those hard-to-work lateral obliques."

Heyl Here's a spot that's never

taken-

by J.A. Jeske-No turds in this bowl!

Sentfne/ photographer captures the parking space on film that columnist Jeff Jeske refers to in this issue's Chokecherries.

Which came first, the space or the tree? Or is this poor pine somehow deserving of a great parking space?

• With lhc things thot go on around here. one shouldn't be surprised nt what comes up. down, sits on a lllble or comes in a box.

Assistant AU1lelic Director Jim Headley doesn't get 100 surprised these days when he opens the door to his office. Dead rats in his desk drawer don't phase him anymore, a toilet nailed to the noor in the middle of his office was made for a handy bowl 10 put popcorn in, but the most recent prank got just a bit rank.

The other day he noiiced a box sining outside next 10 lhc garbage can and paid linle auention 10 it until a while later when a colleague inquired as 10 why a box or tu rds was on hls desk. The box. leaving just a hint of"fowl"playbc:hind, had by this time found its way back outside. but nOI before Jim, ah. examined lhc evidence?

Says Jim, "I don't know. Maybe someone had too much idle time on their hands."

He believed the perpetrator probably scooped up the goose poop from the baseball field. Gecz. Jim. 100 bad you wcren 't hot on the scent at the time because any idle hands that sroopcd that much poop would surely have left a trail that any nose tha1 knows could've followed!

• Master sleuth himself, Sentinel Adviser Nils Rosdllhl, while heading for coffee. spotted what appeared 10 be a staff member taking a leisurely break. seated on a UJble in the Mechanical Ans equipment area. Curious as 10 why the individual was sitting so s1ill, he did what any good reporter should: investigate.

So he did. It was a wooden dummy! Relating the story Inter as 10 the stillness of the individual, Roger Brockhoff. physical plant director, chipped in, "Oh, another maintenance man?"

• Ucrc's o llttJe nugget to chew on. A parking auendnnt. no. our parking ancndnnt Kathy FrcdekJnd, tells us thnl staff cannot be ticketed for p11rking in a student spot, but-you guessed this was coming- we students can be ticketed for parking in stalT spots. ASNIC President Christn Manis has been tagged four times and paid lhn.'C fines already for just parking a borrowed vehicle, in her own spoL ChriSUJ say~ she's been parking out in the 101 somewhere else lately. Frcdekind said smdeotS can get an appeals fonn and fill in the comments box.

• A student says he convinced a friend. who was certain he contacted food poisoning (off campus) 10 go upslllirs in lhc SUB and seek out the nurse for lhc s1omoch cramps thlll were causing him much pain. Upon arriving they were told the nurse was out 10 lunch. she was prcny well booked for the rest of the day and would you care 10 make nn appointment for tomorrow 31 7:30 or 11 ? With lhc recent outbreak of E-Coll thnl has everyone a bit scared, such things are not much 10 laugh about, especially since I was the friend!!

• Behind lhc gym, in fron1 of the Lee Hall annex, there is, a somewhat, but nOI uncommon hH>·lrunkcd pine tree that grows conspicuously a1 lhc entr.lllcc ton parking spot marked. "Hand icapped." Well, there's no doubt abou1that. The twist is who ~ handicapped? The tree or the parking spot?

• On lhc wall. in the ca,1 entrance 10 the SUB. pictures hnng of the Board of Trustees. Why is it 1h01 Trustee J eanne Givens. our only board member of color, is lhc only member with a black and while photo hanging on lhc wall? Says Jeanne. who wants 10 know? h's simple. h was cheap, but if someone would like 10 baby-sit two kids, wash the clOlhcs. wash lhc dishes. mop the noor. vacuum lhc rugs, clean lhc house, catch lhc dog and pay for one of those fnncy-air-nuffed-muhi-colorcdexpcnsivc ponr.liis, sure. That "ould be juM fine by me!

• Tiicre arc a few times in life when it is hard 10 find a liule humor in something and this is one. Our new neighbor across the hall from our new nnd improved holem-thc-wall, Neal Rasmus.wn, night occounting instruCIOf, was recently hospitaliu:d and we are truly choked up about it. You arc missed, Neal. Get well and hurry back.

President continued from Page 10 percent orihc foculty were men. In 1991, 20 percent of students were non-white, 55pcrccnt were women and women now represent 31 percent of the faculty. Is it no wonder that new ideas and value systems are being considered?

Debates about ideas and values hnve taken on a new dimension because such thought now represent the interests of groups, rather thnn individuals. With such change comes political effons on both sides 10 ensure the acceptance of whatever is being proposed. Institutions feeling a historical responsibility for encouraging such discussions are finding themselves becoming the target of those slings and nrrows which are intended 10 silence the debntc.

Unfortumuely, lhis process is being applied 10 here since college officials permi11ed a conference on campus which dealt with the problems faces by young people who believe themselves 10 be gay, lesbian or bisexual. The resistance was accelerated when the trustees ovenumed the s1uden1 government decision 10 deny a

request for n gny, lesbian and bisexual club 10 be formed on campus after receiving an opinion by the State Anomey General's office which confirmed 1ha1 the U.S. Cons1iru1ion guarantees people 10 assemble and discuss all kinds or ideas even though they may be thought offensive to a majority of the community's citizens.

The trustees and administration have taken pride in proclaiming thn1 NIC is a community college and in that capacity has a responsibility 10 serve all members of its cons1i1ucncy, not just those who are the most vocal or prolific with their opinions.

The American communi1y is not based on conformity, but in fact has been built and strengthened by an acceptance of diversity and difference. Preservation of this ideal is not an easy endeavor. Yet, ii is a challenge lhat requires the kind of fortitude and leadership 1h01 is expected of persons chosen 10 guide institutions or higher learning. With these kind or dirlicuh decisions being made in the face of th~ts and insults. it is appropriate that NIC can rightfully claim io be a center of quality

Rumors have legendary ex-Oklahoma Sooner coach Barry Switzer or Notre Dame coach Lou Holti replncing Johnson. It'll probably be Switzer, that is if they can keep any of the players from following Johnson out the door. Whal a disaster for dichnrd Cowboy fans like myself.

The rowing season starts at the beginning of the school year. The winter break begins at the Thanksgiving holiday. The second half of the SCJISOn st:uts in March with the coming of the spring and ends at the end of the school year.

At NIC the rowing team has a club stn1us, coach Marlin Stacey said. Thai means the only suppon the club gctS is money from ASNIC. Club members have to put in some work time and do the main1ennncc or the shells, which is 1he term u~ed for lhe boats.

According 10 Sl3cey. the club has several shells, mostly eight-man and the coxswain. The boatS are old but ~till in very good c:ondiuon and good for competition, he: said.

The competition that the rowing club engages in is very organized, Slllccy uid. The biggest one is I.he Frost Bite Rega11a I.hat happens in the foll in Seattle. The club also engages in other regattas all through lhe rowing season.

Stacey said that rowing is a great way to get in an eiccellen1 physical shape. "Rowing builds up muscles, plus it works a lot wi1h I.he cardiovascult1t system," he said.

Rowing would be a great complimentary spon for NJC's varsity at.hlctes, such as basketball and ~ball playess and wrestlers. It would keep them in shape in the off season. Stacey said.

Seagal's megalomania increases with latest Eskimo act

by John Myers Sentinel Reporrtr With each film. Steven Scagal"s megalomania seems 10 increase.

He sinned out with simple means; just another illtempered Italian cop with extensive training in some oriental form or whoop-ass. He had his encounters

It was a pnlid reflection or "Die Hard" where Seagal manages 10 avoid World War '.l. He was forced to doff the perennial pony1ail for this particular role. but he is no Samson. He defeated the vile scum. led by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey.

Now Seagnl is ··on Deadly Ground." No longer satisfied with being Italian, he has now decided 10 be

wnidthctahmecMoaufillll, ff, a smiling. That wns the plot of "'Above the Law" in a nutshell.

His following three movies recycled the same basic plots. Cop. Italian. Whoop-oss. Jamaicans in one, a Capone clone in ano1her.

Scagal's ego actually acheived nose-bleed s1ro1a in his 1992 film, "Under Scige.'" He played the role or a Navy SEAL turned cook on board a naval gunship that the milicary was about 10 mothball. The ship is overrun with mercenaries who arc after a nuclear warhead.

Native-American. specifically Eskimo. The ponytail returns. He does an cnviro-friendly occupation shift as well. Now he is an oil rig disaster technician. The head bad guy here is Micahel Caine, owner or the oil rig. His goal is the get the oil rig running in the black so he is not forced 10 surrender the land 10 the Eskimos. Not even defec1ive equipment will get in the way. even though the rig causes several mini-natural disas1ers. The oil rig foreman, a kind old man, learns of the defective equipment and gets snuffed ou1 when he tries 10 blow the whistle on Caine. Unrorcunately the old codger happens 10 be swell buddies with Scagal. Seagal is

then obi igcd 10 demonstrate how payback~ really arc an S.O.B. II is pointless 10 try and document just how many bullets fly or how many bones break. The only imponant scatistic is 1h01 Seagal never gets shot, punched; no one even pulls his cute pony1ail. He is uncouchable. Even his sidekick Eskimo chick pulls through without a scratch. The besc line in the movie is hers: "Of course I can ride a horse; I'm Nacivc American."

The film ends with Scagal giving an ecology speech 10 a room full or tree buggers. h comes off as a preachy documentary or how we are destroying chc cnnh.

I don'c know if Scagal is trying co change his image, but he is the last person Mother Eanh needs as a bed partner. I do not doubt Scagal's inccntions for the environmencor his credibihy as n martial artist; I just doubt I'll ever want 10 sec his ncx1 big screen outing.

Youth concert is success for all ages

Everyone seemed 10 enjoy the introduction or the instruments and the brief dcmonsll'lllions given. but the highlighc or the evening was definitely the second half of the show.

Musical imagery tilled the Sl8ge and drilled over the audience as the orchestra pesformed Felix Mendelssohn's ''Symphony No. 4 in A Major," subticlc:d 'The Italian Symphony."

'CAN DLf BOX' extends the Seattle scene IMusic Review...

I

by J olene Green

S1'11ti11el Reporter

From the aliema1ivc capitnl of the world. Scanlc has spawned yet another band destined ror stardom.

Ca11dlebox. the bnnd's debut r.:cording has sold over 200.000 copies since July alone. Signed with the same label as Madonno., /\favcrick Recording, the band was sponed playing a showcase at Los Angelcs's Club Ling~ric by producer Guy Oseary.

Their name stems fr\>nl a lyric fragment from lhc Midnight Oil song. "Tin Legs and Tin Mines" ("boxed in like candles"). l11e band got on its way in December of 1991 when bassist Bardi Manin joined up with lead singer Kevin Manin (no rcla1ion), guitarist Peter Kleu and drummer Scon Mercado. They then teamed up with their producer and lifetime friend Kelly Gray 10 rage over the Seanle scene.

The guys celebrn1cd the release of the record al n party at the Weathered Wall. an ever-popular Seanle pany spot, and have already played wi th such bands as Sweaty Nipples, Metaphysical and Son of Man. Candlcbox :ind the other ahcmative bands are featured in "The Rocket," which is the Nonhwcs1's guide 10 upcoming new bands and hol concens.

Cnndlebo~ may be a clone of the long line of bnnds rrom Washington. but it has a sound and s1yle all it's own. lnsiend of just one pace of songs.

lhey go from hard rock 10 rhythm 10 relaxing. where all the songs arc sn ng wi th grcn1 case. I never realized how popular they were urtli l doing this review and everybody saying, "Is 1his CandlcBox? I love their kind of music." This is a very interesting nnd intriguing band.

Among some of the best songs on the CD are "Change," a harder sound about the consrn n1 change. ''Far Behind," which is a grcnl slow song dealing with the tragedies of suicide, and "Cover Me," which has ~omc1hing 10 do with se>.. All of these songs are more lhan just music; lhey are deep feelings and each tells a story with each note.

Other songs well known among this debut are "Rain," ''Mothers Dream" and "You." Candlebox has been compared 10 the sounds of such bands as Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and Saigon Kick.

This new grunge so und 1ha1's sweeping th e Northwest has given this band all the power and suppon 10 make il big.

This is a great CD for those who love such listening as Sound Garden and even The Black Crows will love the new sounds this band plays.

Featured in a recent issue of Rolling Sines. lead singer Manin quotes, "Seaulc's n weird place: n's really boring.

"Well, for those of us brought up on the rolling hills of "Lillie Mouse on the Prairie," Scauk is anything bul boring, and neither is lh1~ music.
