Day 1: National Health Care: Clinton Administration's Plan

~:~~:,Hite pulls o.c. i·~;!g::~~~;;~~~~~~~~~~~m The Universal Health coverage issue is a topic currcn1ly on the lips of most Americans, rich and poor.

At the 24th annual Popcorn Forum Symposium, President Clin1on's Health Security plan was explored in depth. with a series of satellite interviews direct from Washington. D.C. NIC President Roben·ncnnell, fresh from a recent trip 10 D.C., introduced via satellite, Idaho Republican Senators Larry Craig and Dirk Kempthome.

Craig first gave Clinton credi t for kick-stoning lhc heahh issue and 1h01 he first became involved several years ago when George Bush was president.

He stressed that a total refom1 of the system is no way 10 go and that "mos,·· Idahoans just choose 10 say no to the program in general. In addition, Craig said, "The Prcsidc n1·s plan. the way it s1ands now. will not pass, and there arc six major bills before Congress. plus the Clinton Plan."

Also, Craig says, the American people cannot afford Clinton·~ health care plan: "II is not just a federal responsibility: the state must take responsibility for those who canno1pay for health cure.

Plus. the individual must take responsibility for himself:· In closing. Craig suid he believes by the end of foll there will be o new hcahh care system in pine~ for 1hc American people.

Kcmpthome let the crowd know the last time he was in Nonh Idaho he was with Craig and the topic of di~cus~ion then was National Hcahh Core. Al that time, Kcmp1home said Nonh Idahoans let Craig and himself k.oow that it was is unacceptable for

first of three question and answer sessions.

Included in the first session was a question by Charles Lind of Blanchard, who said that he had wrinen 10 both senators many times and his question dealt with the overhauling the integrity of the Clinton's five main points system. controlling cost in a fair for health ~re manner and 10 quit cutting cost of seniors. In response. both Craig • Citizens are guaranteed and Kcmpthomc said it would take private iosurnnce and time for one plan 10 emerge.

Day 3: The Impact of Violence On Health Care In America

Maiuro focuses on two types of violent patterns

by Sherry L Adkins Stnti11l'I Reporur The NIC Popcorn Forum Symposium nnd Convoc,uion Series, "Universal Health Coverage in the Uni1ed S1n1es; Can We Do II?" con1inucd on April 13. o.s Dny 3 of1he series melded the 1opic of the impnc1 of violence on health cnre in America.

The now of infonnation coniinued 01 11 n.m. in Boswell Ball o.s Dr. Roland D. Maiuro addressed 1he 1opic on 1he impac1 of violence on America· s health care syslcms.

Maiuro. who is the founder and direc1or of 1hc anger manogemen1 program m the Universi1y of Washing1on and 1hc currcn1dircc1or of 1he Harborvicw Anger Mnnagcmcn1 Cen1cr in Seaulc, ho.s an impressive list of creden1 ials from universities across 1hc nation which gave him worldwide s1a1ure as an expen in the field or anger mnnagemeni and violen1 behavior.

Maiuro began by exposing the audience 10 stanling statistics of vic1ims of domes1ic violence, reasons for a rise in domcs1ic violence and pancms of behn vior associn1ed with 1he problem.

Maiuro snid there arc basically 1wo kinds of violence 1hn1 e~is1 on n social level today, the lirsl of 1hese being domestic violence. He explained that lhe panem of

violence in America is jus1 as 1ypical as 1ha1 of 01her countries nnd demons1ra1cd the foci wi1h o video of n newsca~t from the Sca11lc nrca. The video coniained news co,•erngc of on African man from Gombin who had jus1 murdered his 2 and 3-ycar-old sons. His wife had 1old police 1ha1 she fcnrcd for the safety of her sons because the man wanted to lake them 10 Gambia and he had 1old her 1hcy were his pos~essions and he could kill them if he wished. The clip also contained coverage of o womon who hod been sho110 dca1h in her car by her cs1mnged husband. Do1h women hns coun documents which banned the men from con1ac1 prior to the incidents. In bolh cases. this was no1 enough.

These faCIS lend suppon 10 Maiuro's belief 1hai mcntnl health care in the Jru;1 decode has been undcr-dingno~cd nnd dumped in10 1he overloaded puni1i,•c and criminal ju~1icc sys1crns. He men1ioncd 1h01 research. done reccn1 ly by 1hc Washington Sm1c Allomey General and a leading health care professional regarding the overload of violence in the jus1icc systems. revealed 1ha1 by the year 2050 in Washington S1a1c. every ci1izen will be behind b~ or lending to !hose who arc if changes arc not incurred.

His sm1is1ics showed 1h01violence toward women accounis for 25 percent 10 30 perccn1of all emergency room visils at Harborview Medical Ccn1er and 1hcsc numbers arc on the rise, Maiuro w:imed.

He said hospilals and professionals need 10 look for 1cll1alc signs of spouse abuse and trea11hc victim in the cnrly stngcs. nol bandage 1hem and send 1hem back 10 1he same

environmem or give potcminlly harmful advice.

Moiuro told 1he 300 or so audience members 1ho1 · domes1ic violence has many victims, including those who arc mised in o violeni family seuing ond grow up 10 be vic1ims or pcrpc1m1ors themselves. S1o1is1 ics presemcd showed people who hove never been diagnosed wi1h a disorder make up 2.05 pcrcenl or violenl behavior as compnred 10 lhe 21.08 percent of diagnosed alcoholdepcndcn1 men.

Women diagnosed wi1h alcohol dependency make up 21.70 perccni of violen1 behavior ru,d a whopping 34.74 perceni of violeni behavior is comribu1cd 10 individuals diagnosed wi1h drug dependency. He added that he thinks 1hcsc numbers can be reduced if our nation begins looking al menial health cnre as o tre.itable diagnosis nnd no1 jus1a criminal problem.

The subjecl of youth violence wns 1ouched on bricOy as Mniuro used example..( of the 1950s TV series "Leave II To Beaver," as compared 10 1oday·s "Simpsons" 10 show 1he decline of family values. He conuibu1cs 1he rise of youth violence 10 incrcao;cd gong ac1ivily, availability of handguns and the nccessily for fam ilies 10 maintain 1wo working pnrcn1s.

The real impact of violence on society is in dollar amounis, according 10 Maiuro. The overage cos1of 1rea1ing one gunshot wound olone a1 Harborview Medical Ccn1er is an es1imn1cd S17.000 and the average cost of tn:Uling a spouse or child for one incideni of obuse is SI 1.000.

When an informal procedure is requesied, the cornmillee will provide confidential advice, help in weighing choices and op!ions available and a commiuee member may "recommend that the complain1an1 file a formal complaint if the accusation is so serious that, if true, ii would be cause for disciplinary ac1ion."

When a formal procedure is done a wriuen repon within 90 days of on incident is requested. If the complaint is withdrawn wi1hin two working days, the signed complaint will be held confidential.

Otherwise the copy will be sent to !he accused and a response from !he accused will be required.

Idaho institutions to receive more work study funding, doubling previous amount

by J.A. J eske Se11tir1el Reporter A million dollar workstudy base line budget was approved for Idaho colleges and universities by the State House JFAC. According to Rep. Gino White. D-Plummer. during an interview nt NIC Wednesday, this doubles a previous amount agreed to by the commiuee.

Connie Dawson, financial aid assistant direc,or. said she hnd placed a call to Bill Hargrove, public affairs officer for the Board of Education. concerning the additional appropriation, but has not yet received word back.

If NIC' s share of the money is appropriated by the formula previously used, 5.2 percent, that would amount to an additional $26.000 for funding of NIC workstudy students, however. Dawson said. that hus not been confim1ed and she doesn't know at this time if strings may be mmched.

White said that probably the most significant ~1ing for NIC was the approprialion of$ I00,000 in "discretionary funds" for the college. These funds are given to a college in

'Discretionary

money should not be confused with student fees."

--President Bennett

a lump sum to be spent as the college administrators see fit.

He suid originally the commiucc had, in his absence while nnending the birth of his son, decided to cut $50.000 from the governor's proposal. but upon his return to Boise he was instrumental in obtaining a two-thirds majority vote to increase NIC's money $50.000 over the governor's original proposal.

NJC President C. Rohen Bennen said there was some sort of in-house debacle prior to the vote and that he and Jerry Myerhocffer, presideni of CS!, urged JFAC to rethink their decision.

"This money wus part of an original request and we looked at it as a totalitary. No this is not a windfall," he said. adding that, "No specifics will be made until the budget is presemcd 10 the boa.rd.''

First reading of the budget by the NJC Board of Trustees will be on May 2, with the second reading in June, according to Bennett.

White said with this appropriation increase overshadows the recent tuition increase and called it "a bad deal in a year when they (colleges)are appropriated a substantive increase in appropriations and they decide to hit the students with more."

Bennett, however, disagreed.

"Discretionary money should not be confused wiu1 student fees." he said. adding that, a tuition increase of only $ 15 per student, with $5 for the library fund. is still below the $25 increase CS! is proposing.

The increases for in district NlC students will be about 7 percent. while the ou1-0f-sta1e/country fees will jump 25 percent.

Staff, students alike prepare in their individual ways as graduation ceremony draws nearer

by Sheny L. Adkins SenrillEI Reponer The month of May symbolizes gruelling finals and beckoning beaches for most students, but it is even a crazier time for graduates and u,c NlC commencement committee as preparations and final rarewells become top priority.

An estimated 300 graduates will cross the stage during commencement exercises May 20 in Boswell Hall Auditorium, emerging victoriously with yet another stepping stone for their future-a degree!

Graduation feslivitics will begin at 7:30 a.m. when five, 10 and 15-year service gift cenificates will be awarded to deserving staff members during a staff breakfast in the Bonner Room of the SUB. Gov. Cecil Andrus has been invited to the breakfast and will also deliver the commencement address when graduation ceremonies begin at IOam. Several achievement and employee of the year awards will also be distributed during breakfast.

This year's commencement exercises will begin in front of the Christianson Gymnasium, where four members from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe will interpret to groduates uie meaning of the ceremonious honor song that will be perfonned by members of the tribe. According to Karen Streeter of the registrar's office, the ceremony will explain the "rite of passage"and the significant tranSfonnation that graduation represents as the procession crosses the tribe's ancient burial grounds on it's way to Boswell Hall.

Andrus will deliver NIC's 60th commencement nddress

to graduates and audience members and the Burlington No.nhem teacher of the year award of $2,500 will be presented 10 a deserving recipient.

Other scheduled opening commencement activities include a general welcome to be delivered by a tribal official.

President Bob Bennen's brier address, and the delivery of the invocation and benediction speech by faculty member Judith Brower, who has once again accepted the honors.

Many mixups in the past have caused l~t minute inconveniences and wony, but none of the mishaps make graduation any less fun or exciting, according to Streeter.

One year she recalls that the caps and gowns were late. but the grnduates improvised with fonnal wear. Another time it was discovered that the supply of diploma cove~ was depleted and they had to be air freighted in at the last minute.

And then there was the time that Judith Brower caught a nu bug and Jeny Gee had to deliver her speech unexpectedly.

Despite these past problems, Streeter said she is always optimistic but forever prepared for the inevitable graduate who forget their cap and gown.

One more element that adds 10 the e.,citement of graduation season is the faculty commencement pool.

According to David Cohen, chair of the commencement cornminee, faculty members try to determine the length of the whole commencement program and then place their dollar bets with their faculty " bookie. "Bill Pecha.

The phrase "good luck and congratulations" are in order for faculty and graduates alike.

Opinion-Editorial The North Idaho College Sentinel

Cobain's suicide points to hopeless feeling of generation April has been a month of trngedy for lhe Pacific Northwest music scene and lhe emire music world.

Two weeks ago on extremely 11llen1ed writer and musician, who was lhe voice of a generation with seemingly everything 10 live for, made a decision lhal changed not only h.is own life forever but also the lives of his wife and infant daughter.

He decided 10 end his life!

Kun Cobain, 1he 27-year-old pioneer of the Scalile grunge sound and leader of lhe band "Nirvana," put a 12-gaugc shotgun 10 his head as he looked out of an upstairs window that overlooks Lake Washington from his million dollar home and pulled the trigger.

Somewhere in-between an overdose of prescription drugs and alcohol in Rome a monlh ago and Opinion the click of the shotgun hammer, Cobain decided he no longer wanted life.

The big question seems 10 be why? Some people are claiming his much publicized heroin problem finally caught up wilh him: olhers say he was tired of being manipulated by lhe music industry and that the breakup of "Nirvana" was imminent. I believe the problem went much deeper lhan 1hu1 and lhe why question will probably never be answered since only one person knows for sure and he's not talking.

His wife Counney Love was quo1ed as saying. "I always knew he was going 10 kill himself. I just thought he'd wail till he was in his 40s 10 do it. I'm angl)'; what he did was a stupid thing."

Cobain was the voice for a generation of kids who feel angry because lhe world has a lot of hatred. hopelessness and despair. This genre has grown up surrounded by AIDS. homelessness and a government corrupted by greed. They come from families torn by divorce. alcoholism. emotional abuse, drug abuse and physical abuse.

This is lhe first generation in history that KNOWS that lhey will not do as good or bener than their parents did financially.

Cobain didn't want the pressure of having a generation looking 10 him for answers. His music was an expression and extension of what he felt. I think he fell just as angry and lost as some of h.is fans did. He himself was looking for answers that he couldn't find.

Some music people are trying 10 give him lhe same legendary status as the late Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Monrison, who all died of drug and alcohol overdoses. Also floating aro~nd are whispers lhal he wanted 10 be some kind of manyr like Jame.s Dean.

He's not a manyr or an idol. All he is now is DEAD! The above mentioned group all died accidently by living life too wrecklessly...... no1by giving up and swallowing a shotgun

Vote if you want to make a change h's tlrnt time of the school year again. TI1e turning around of the student government. Most NlC students appe.ar 10 be quite apathetic about the whole ordeal or don't even know that elections are taking place. In fact, many students don't even know 1ha1 ASNlC stands for Associated Students of Nonh Idaho College.

A majority of the population participntes in presidential

elections tmd it's not presumptuous to say quite a few people go to the polls not knowing all t.here is 10 know about their chosen candidate. They just punch in members in llteir favored party. None of these folks has ever spoken with the candidates in person and probably ne\â&#x20AC;˘er will.

That's the difference you'll find with college elections.

While in stale and national elections, opponunities 10 actually meet the candidates and talk with them are very rare and nearly impossible. The next best thing 10 do would be 10 auend press conference or a speech given by the candidate. College elections have an advantage in lhe sense that the people running for office are right here on campus.

Since the candidates are your fellow srudents and may even sit next 10 you in history, you haven golden opponunity 10 chat with lhem and find out what good they plan 10 do the college.

Since lhese people are deciding who lhe year's enlenainmcnt and educational visitors are 10 the campus and deciding whnt clubs get what funding, ii would seem lhal more students would care who gets into office.

However, through past elections, ii has become apparent lhal students don't give a rip about student body elections.

For example, last year when elections took place, approximately 200 out of 3,000 students voted.That's less that IOpercent of the s1uden1body! There is one word for

participation 1h01 low. Pnthelic.

Sure, national and stale elections appear 10 be a much bigger deal because they affect a grea1er amount of people, but college elections follow the same principle.The problem is lhere is absolutely zero imponance associated with these elections.

Older generation students might view the elections as chances for the "kids" 10 get involved at school. Members of the younger generation may think "Hey, lhis is cool.

When I graduate I can. like, write lhat I was student body president on my resume. Yeah, that would be cool."

Yes. an exaggerated example. but in some ways, true.

The reason so liule imponance is placed on elections is because many students. involved in the s1uden1 government and not. have been disappointed with what has gouen accomplished. Maybe some think nothing has been done worlh meriL That may or may not be true, but next lime you take a break in the SUB. remember whose ground you're trodding upon. Next time you auend a comedy night in the auditorium, remember who found the comedian and brought him here for your enjoyment.

Next time you open your mouth 10 complain abou1 the student government, remember that biiching about n problem without doing something about ii yourself is preny pitiful.

Whether you like it or 001, ASNIC represents you as o student, even if you're not involved in a club or in many campus activities. If you disagree, imagine someone asking where you anend college. When you say "NlC," lhere is a preuy good chance they'll say, "Oh! That's the place where lhal big gay club conll'Over..y was. rightT' If you say. "What gay club controver..yT'- maybe it's lime you gel off your bun and gel involved.

As }ourcurrcm ASNIC president. I feel ii is imponan1 for me 10 CXp!l!SS some viewpoinL~ concerning tlie upcoming election.

You may already b.: aware tha1ii is election season on our campus. /\5 s1udenis. we pay S20 each seme.1er for a s1uden1 ooivity fee. As studenL~. we 11!1,-c the righ1 to vote in10 office representatives 10 m:umge 111!11 money roughly equaling Sl25,CXX>! A budget tl1!11 lotals overS l25,CXX> needs 10 be managed by someone who is experienced, nol someone who is "in i1 for the money" as pne " 111<lidale for presi®m claims. h is hard to imagine tlllll Nonh ldnho Collcg.: hJIS n pre<idcntial candid!ltc who op.:nly s1aics, ''Wl1!1t docs ASNIC president do? Wh.11e,er it is ii mus1 be a 101 because they get paid S170 every month." Tiic same candidntc al.so boas IS. "I c.111' 1 mess ii up any \\'Or5C than ii aJre:l(fy is, and !icy. that's $170 smockers in my pocket e,ay month 10 boot!"

As ASNIC president. l hnve reprcsemed this college in many dilTerent areas of our society. At times th.is year. I ba,·c been into Ilic office a1 6 a.m. and did 1101 leave until 8 or 9 p.m. 31 night.

During Chrisunas vocation. Vice Presidem Ryan Higgins and I 1n1,·elcd 10 Boise 10 lobby tlie Idaho Legislature for money to remodel ue Hall. In the fall semesicr, I missed many clnss

hours due 10 work and Lr.wet rclauxl 10 ASNIC. Many time~ this year, I have fought 1ootl1 tuid nail for thi~ college and tlie s1uden1s I wa~ elected 10 rcpres.:ni.

I would do it again ifl wa.s able. Tha1·s wh.111hc ASNlC pres idem docs on a dny-1o-<l[ty b.'hi~ for S170 a month.

Ryan Higgins, who ser.ed as viC\: president, is running for ASNIC pn:sidcn1. Ilc has experience witl11he issues and moq of all. he ha.~ e~perlcnce in managing Mudcm fund<,. I le c::m do thc job bcncr tl111n anyone else. I le is th.: most rclinblc. lnJStworthy person I know. M~t imponamly.

Eliminate a little bit of that stress, talk with your adviser I low are you feeling? "Burnt ou1, fraulc.d,'' or jus1kinda "ughr' Maybe you have heard something of thai no1urc which is always accompanied with a nasty look or the roll of Ille eyes. Sounds like the "five weeks left iii summer" stress. I have heard 1hese kind of responses from many people over !he last week.

With the wcnther gelling nicer. naturally 1he ins1.ruc1ors have come out of 1hcir winier coma and are assigning loads of .issignmems and p~pcrs for u~ 10 ponder over in our free lirrnc- NOT! ! Just the idea of summer gcning closer along with final tcs1s and papers may coniribu1e 10 1hi:; SLrc.\s.

Mavi ng been here for four ,e1111es1ers and wi1h another two 10 go. I have found ou1 the hard way thal lhcrc nre a fow 1hing~ lh,11 could ha,e helped me nol pull my hnir out or thinl. about becoming a possible alcoholic. I would like 10 shore u couple of hi nl~ 1h01 I have Ii n,1lly brought myself to do no mn11cr how hard it may have been and maybe ii will help you 10 have o more D..-1ie ~ rela,mg Inst monlh here.

Opinion The mos1imponont one which would penuin 10 everyone would be 1h01 I have finally 1akcn the plunge and made on appoinlmcnl with my adviser.

When I firs1C'ame here 10 NIC 1he fa.II of 1992, l said 10 myself like some of you probably hnvc, I can advise myself. I mean. how haru could ii be. just rend the caialog nnd coincide tha1with 1he course times in 1hc. cla.~s schedule book. After a couple years here and badabing badnbang, you got your degree, right? WRONG!! Well again thnt was four semester.. and millions of breakdowns ago. And afler another year, I will be leaving here and my one degree will have tum~'() in10 thn.'C. Everyone shouJd at least mee1with their adviser once while !hey are here at NIC or at any college. preferably at !he beginning of your journey here, it will help make ii a more enjoyable one.

Another common trend one may find themself in is sacrificing one class of less imponance for another. Of course, we all know that all or the courses at NIC are imponam. but sometimes it has 10 be done, right? For me, I always find myself sacrificing classes for Sentinel because mosl of the stories happen during those hours. But as a negaLive aspect 10 that is that I am always behind in everything and of course instructors don'1understand tha1 some 1hings like news just can' t wait. So although I get every sto:ry in on lime and they are always well-wriucn, all of my olher grades arc suffering, Finally, everyone has had the big problem of procrastination happen 10 them. With all of !he exams and papers being assigned lhi~ week and being due final~ week, why wait until !he weekend before finals week to start? I lbink some you do it on purpose because you love !he chllllenge, but think ofit this way; it is 60 degree~ ou1 now and by the second week of May will be in 1he mid· 70. to 80:;.

When would you ralher be stuck in the Jibraiy or computer lab doing the paper you have had monlhs 10 do? ]tis your prerogative!!

Cl-tokEcli ERRi ES 'In blooin, destined to produce a bumper crop'

by J.A. Jeske- with more than a little help from my friends!

• E"erybody hns seen nnd understands the reason ror the "Sliay off the grass" signs. No problem there. Everybody has seen and appreciates the picnic tables parked around campus on the gm.ss. There's the problem. No one has figured out how 10 ge1 10 the mbles shon of boM"Owing a pole vault from tbe track team.

Mnybe it's easier 10 just pay the fine. What is the rme?!

• After nearly n year of silence, the carillon on lop of Seiter Hall is pleasantly chiming the hour. There's no word if this time is the official C31ti1pus time, but it should be. Because most of the clocks in buildings around tlie campus run on ba11eries. very few show the same lime, differing by as much as 10 minutes. If ever the soccer field is eliminated for o. new building, plco.se let the new building have a clock tower.

• While on the soa:cr field. having an open area in the middlle of the campus is great. but it should be a park rather than an athletic field. Erratically Dying balls from baiting practice in the field and soccer practice adjacent to the field are dangerous to windows in pariced cars and the Shermilll School Building. The other day Coach O"·en's d ass was using student cars parked on the westsidc of the field as backstops. Better to break the student's I.Mured car wlndo"-s thnt the new windows in the Sherman Building, huh?

• Although a week later than scheduled, the ASNIC voluntttrs who accomplished the cleanup of lnterstnte 90 near Wolf Lodge Bay Inst weekend are to be thanked. The cleanup was late because "caution" signs for motori.sts were forgo11en the previous week. What's sad is the amount of litter a.lrcady in the cleaned ditches the nexl day. Perhaps the caution signs for motorist ought 10 reod: Caution, Falling Trmh!

a 1r all else fails ...f.or the past 1wo week's the $20,000 printer for the Sentinel pages WIIS dead because of a broken wire. Communicntions repair pro Bill Porath ably fixed the wire, but the prinlcr still wouldn't print A battery or exper1S tried in vain to fix the problem. Finally electronics instructor John Dunn solved it, saving our budget about S1,500 to fly a company rep up from L.A.. Accordling 10 Dunn. no sweat Tum the printer on!!

• A hearty ''thank you" goes to the anonymous donor of the free viewing of ''Schindler"s List" for NIC last week on the 50th anniversary of the Holocaus1.

About 250 people anended. with 450 seats available. Actually, no111 bad a11cndance since the theater is two miles from the college and piwes by several bars. Hats off also to the instruetors who used the film as a class option or project; same for those who used the Popcorn Forum in this regard.

Speaking of the Popcorn r-orum. both wen: a stitch In time that may save nine.

Bernard Craighead, congressional liaison for the Democratic Nntional Commince's health care campaign, had 10 cancel. A few days before the forum he was charged with and lndkted ror falling to tue lnrome tax rdturm for the past three years. Maybe he WIIS waiting for retroactive health care coverage deductions.

Dream on, maybe in a cell bunk. Mr. Craighead. Oh, Mr. Olntoo, wbere do you ftnd these people?

• Students, however, can't complain of being confined in instructor Mike Bundy's bl1tory dull. He said the srudcnts' Ill-preparedness on-for a paper regarding the Progressive Period made him "persoaally lick" and dismissed them after10 rrtinutes in the room saying, time and money was being wasted. Not loo progressive of a period to those of you still contemplating the Competency Exam, lhll II a prop-eatve period. ..........

Core class column: Resident argues with student's standpoint Editor, Usually I find your columns very en1enaining when I read your publication, but a column J read in your IIISI issue really disturbed me.

MarkAruon Perry proceeded to infonn everyone of how much of nn unneccssruy pain ii is 10 lake all those exi.ra core classes in college when they hove nothing 10 do with a person's chosen major.

Firsl off, I would like 10 point our to Mr. Perry tha1 withoul those ''unnecessary classes" he would be quite nn ignorant person.

Sure, ii would be simple for him and others who think like him to take only cl11Sses dealing with their major.

I noticed that he is a journalism major.

Whal are you going 10 write about, Mr. Perry? The inside of your journalism office?

I'm afraid you're going to have a difficuh time finding a newspaper that will hire you if you know nothing outside of jownalism practice.

Don't reponers have 10 be somewhat knowledgeable about other subjects or does MarkAaron plnn to coop himself up in a

comer of the office and be o writing consuhan1?

Or moybe he would like to deliver the pnpers. Thai way he would be involved in journalism without having 10 know any1hing beyond reading and driving. He could remain completely ignoranl of the world IIS long as he didn·1 read the papers or anything else. rm nol trying to pick on Mr. Perry because there are probably a great many students ou1 there who feel the srune way.

There is o positive side to lllking core classes unrela1ed 10 a person· s major. How about diversity? How about finding another subject maner renlly interesting with belier opponunitics than your ftrs1 choice of major?

To MarkAaron nnd srudents like him. I would suggest a unde school or something tha1 will take him less time to see results.Then he wouldn·1 hnve to worry about unnecessary courses 10 hold him back. Not everyone has the patience for a full four-year educa1ion and that's line. Just as long as they don't scorn good means for a well-rounded education.

Instead of being remembered by the world as a genius writer and musician that led a generation of kids, aU he will be remembered as is a troubled musician on heroin who killed himself.

As a fan I'm angry because suicide is I.be epi1ome of selfishness and a total waste of human life. And not just any life, although all life is precious.

This life could have changed a part of the world.

I truly believe that God has put each of us on this earth with purpose. I certainly don't have all the answers, but I do know that no penon's purpose in life is 10 commit suicide.

'Treasure Island' brings out best in children's theater NIC theater departtnent produces a hit show for children; adults see more

by MarkAaron Perry Sentinel ReportC'r Treasure wns the taboo word nt Wednesday night's showing of "Treasure Island'' o--r-a_m _ a_ R,_e_v..,·..., performed by the . ff, NJC theater depnnment. Most of the work was also done by the Theater I 06 class. since this is a requirement to pass the class.

The plot was very simple. ii was a bunch of pirates in search of a buried treasure.

The audience varied in age and included several children ranging in age from about 3 to 6. The simple story line was able 10 hold youngster's ancmion for the full hour and a half.

It was nice 10 see a little bit of a change for the !healer depanmcn1to more of a children's story.

Most of the action stancd when Captain Billy Bones was surrounded and fought by pirates. '"I

What's really nice about this performance is in the third scene. Auntie gets lhc kids in the audience invol ved by having them help her not say the word "treasure." What's great abou1the younger audience. is they're nol afraid 10 gel involved. The . audience knew when she wos going 10 say "treasure" because the kids would gel nervous and they were right there, shushing her softly.

The great direction of Tim Rarick also showed through in the way the characters played their pans.

Since this was n no1-so-1rue-10-lifc performance, all the people were considered true character actors.

A good example of this was Long John Silver, played by Jack Green. He had 10 go through the whole performance gelling around on his left leg, while keeping the right one tucked undernemh his pant leg and walking around on a crutch. Mouhcw Rakes did also an excellent job of playing a blind pirate.

The sword fighting was also choreographed wonderfully, and anyone could tell 1h01 a grea1 deal of work went ln 10 1ho110 gc1 h right.

The costumes done by Renee Heth were very real and colorful.

Much credit also goes 10 the makeup anists who played a bag pan in making the pi rates look realis1ic. I particularly liked the

makeup job on Belle Gunn, which really broghl out her jungle chnroc1er.

If you haven't seen this play already. I strongly recommend you go. Luckily you can still catch two more performances. One is Saturday al 2 p.m. and the other Sunday 012 p.m. I would also suggest bringing children if you have any.

Tickets arc available a1 the door. They are $5 for adults, $3 for seniors and SI for students. NIC students can get in free with their ID cord.

Though 1he majority of his show was prone to the male audience, Morey did seem 10 lca\'e on a graceful note for the night which made everyone (yes. even the girls) genuinely clap and whistle for him.

Moray's manly approach 10 comedy kept the audience in stitches for at least half the show. To"•nrd the end, his spastic interludes detracted from his mediocre routine.

There was definitely no female bashing allowed in this guy's raising.

Upton sei:med 10 have an effect on the audience 10 where they would laugh al a joke 1ha1 they drdn'l understand. He was a genuionc:ly funny person and should go 10 the lop in his career.

ASNIC's promotions for this night seemed 10 goo linlc belier for them. When comparing this performance with their last performance, al least more than 13 people l'.J showed up for this one. That deserves a hnle something, 1,1

Bad things can turn into New Sounds from the Garden good memories--if you try Do you lhink thnt you're the only one who has bad days? Do you lhink that you're the only one who has those bad days twn into good memories?

L3st Sntunlay night, my friend and I were returning home from work in Spokane around I n.m.. As we were tnlking casually and listening to the new music we had just encountered. Rochcl's car began to sputter. This problem. as far as we knew. could only mean one thing... we were out of gas.

It n w,1·1 / 11111.. it i,w 2 a11d it was really cold outside. \Vho started the mmar that /info la 1ere rars run c>rtwron t mpty. anyway? \Vhoe>•er it was slwuld've gfrl!l1me a piggy back ride 10 the nearest sen•ice station.

So we coasted down a hill ll!ld came to a smp.

We got out of the car nnd set trudging back up the hi ll we just coasted down to Super One Foods. I think thnt I might add here that two of Coeur d' Alenes linest policemen passed us on the way Md didn't stop to ask two young looking girls why they were walking around the town at 2 in the morning. BeatS us!

I'm sure 1/iue were fine, 11pstandi11g officers I'::;:;;:=::::=;;::==:::;:==--' wlw figured ll't were j1u1 out for a li11/e Michelle Schwend midnight stroll. b111 wo11ldn'1 you figure 1h01 Rachel).

No. we Pontificalioo didt1 '1 do thot, but we did give one of them a - - - - -- - - - - pitiful /i11/e look that obviously didt1 '1 register as anything important.

When we reached Super One. we tried 10 think of all of our friends that dido' t live with their pnrentS and/or would still be up at this time of night. We couldn't lind Myone so we started walking to lhc nearest gas station... which was 1wo miles away.

So then, once we arrived al the chosen go.s stntion. we uied another friend of ours and he had just goucn home. We agreed that we would meet him 31 Perkins. So you can guess where we ended up next...Pcrkins. It took him 45 minutes to get there. so \\C sat in Perkins and watched nil of the people who were watching us.

This weinl gu)' ac11tally becJ..Oltcd to me through the ll'ir11/ow to ctmu: outside ll'ith l1im. / 'd t1fwr seen him before i11 my life and he was acting like I \\W /1/s /011g· lost granddaughter. / 1/w11gh1 nll tlie, ul~ different pt"<lple 111mg 0111 01Denny ·s.

Once he did ge1there. we got in his car and went 10 a gas sta1ion 10 fill the gas can that somoone h:id Jeni him. Thinking thlll we were going to be home in bed in :lOOlher )() mtnuies. we set ou1for Rachel's car. Once we got there we tried lilling the tw1k but It proved to be preuy diflicult wilhout a funnel. Our friend 1h:u.picked us up. Mart(, got a plastic bottle out of his car and we were going to Ir)' that but we didn't have anything to cut ii with.

We tried to b11m it with II tighter, but it 11Y1Sn ·, working. / ll'as thi,lking. bay. those mi11rrol nY11er bonlu are prtlly 1011gll / 11"011der haw lo11g it takt's for one of tlwst domed thillgs 10 decompose. Anyll'a)', ll't figured we ll'ere gelling nowhere u11ha111 a proper dn·lu to pm tire gasoll11e in my wtk.

Finally Mark nnd I got into his car while Rachel wailed in 11M and our intention was to drive back 10 the gas station and get a funnel...but. ..Matk's car wouldn't Stan.

All of us. once agrun. set out for Super One Foods. We got there, purchased a funnel. went back 10 1he car and lilled Rachel's car with the gas and Jen. ab:lndoning Mark's car there 10 be worried about in the morning.

No offense to S11per I. but they 11eed 10 get that d11mb kid's ride 011tfro111futd.

It's one of those li11/e cars that ha.1 cirt'tLS music playi11gfrom a li11/e speaker. It sowuled like o sc:rotclttd ruord. If I hear that d<>-do-d<>-do-scrrrrrratch one more time...

This made us all n little angry but we managed 10 laugh about it on the way home. It was a time 10 get to know each Oilier and that we did. All three of us hnve been bener friends since and we seem to be aware ofjust how full the gas tank s111ys.

"Mailman" is so heavy ii literally come a long way from "Fopp/Scrcaming Life'', their lirsl EP-combo release in 1990, to rattles your chest cavity with the rhythm. That's "Supcrunknown."

Cool....... Huh. Huh, Huh. huh.

Typic:ally if I hear the critics raving abou1 Cornell's vocals on the entire nlbum are incredible! There .ire few vocalists around that something it 1urns out to be crap and if they hate cnn match his intensity and decibel levels. He it. you can count on it being an album wonhy of purchase, but in the case of"Supcrunknown" the talccs you on n proverbial uip.

He clickcty clacks an army of spoons during the song and goes ballistic during the spoon solo. This is a great song and the spoons add a real navor to the piece.

'Four Weddings and a Funeral' could go either way

by John Myers Stmintl Rtporter r;:=.~~~~.;;

IMov1e Rev1ew...

I 1 Bad 1eelh abound 1hroughou1 the British Isles. Perhaps 1his is an explanation for their legendary snootiness. The snooty arc nol required 10 smile. I con soy this because: I. Britain is a world power. 2. I am Irish (as well ns a gnp 1001h). They hove cornered lhc market on dry humor, and lhe most promincnl ehornc1eristic of being dry is lo not smile al your own jokes. They simply refuse 10 smile. fl is as though some King or prime minister of the post ou1lnwed den1is1ry.

Hugh Granl. the stnr of "f'our Weddings and a Funeral," is one grinning exception 10 lhis observalion.

He reeks of puckishness ond lherefore smiles even when it mny be besl nol 10.

In the film he is Charles nnd his s1ory is

Coeur d'Alene

lold in lhe span of four weddings and a funeral 1 . lhal are mcnlioncd in lhe lille. Supernuous informalion aboul 1hc characters is graciously cllcluded. He is Charles and 1ha1 is all you need 10 know. fl is made known thol he is also single and he seeks 10 relieve himself of his tit le of "bachelor." To nsk questions such as the charocier's occupa1ion is no1hing short of prying.

T11e first ceremony is n wedding. fl is not Charles' wedding. though he is 1he best man. Present at 1he wedding are his circle of friends which include several women, none of which he views as more 1han friends. At the reccplion he spols Andie Macdowell who plays a single American libenine. She is Carrie. and he is Charles. and in 1he three remaining weddings and funeral lhcir s1ory is lold.

North Idaho sailing club breaks wind

by Jonas Goni uskas Se111inel Reponu The Nonh Idaho College Sailing Club members have already gotten their feet wet.

UISI Tuesdoy lhe club members assembled all the boats together and on Thursday they put them into the water.

The sailing club mceis every ThUISday at noon at the Rccrcn1ionnl Activities Office in lhe SUB's basement. Club members nnd leaders often discuss the maintenance of bonis, matters concerning 1hc club's activities with 1he m9re experienced sharing tips wi th the newcomers.

The sailing club has eigh1 bo:tts, the newest one being n J24. The J24 is. like the name says. 24 feet long. carries n crew of four and Is the most common among other clubs.

Drew Petrou, the club's president, said that the club docs not have as many members as last year, but he hopes that the interest increases because the spring promises grent sailing days.

Petrou hopes that this ycnr the club will hnve enough members so it can have u rocing team.

"It ccnainly takes experience

to race, but we arc here to teach whoever is in1eres1ed," Pctrou said.

Sunshine Ray field. the club's vice-president, said lhat they have all tools to be competitive: they just lack people.

"Our objective is to first have fun and second compete." Rayfield said.

The NIC' s sailing team would com!)Cte against schools like Uni,crsity of Oregon. University of Washing1on, Western Washington Uni\'crsity nnd Seaule Pacific University. Pctrou said lhal the more experienced 1si111cach the new people and with time NIC wil l have a competitive sailing team.

The idea of having n sailing club at NIC arose in 1989. Then the school wns donated a sailboat. Al that time Dean Ocnneu was NIC's ~tudcnt activities coordinator.

Benncu always thought that the la.kc and bench recreational po1en1ial were not being explored a1 all and lhnt was the occasion 10 stun doing it, so the soiling club photo by Erin Siemers wos founded.

Of these 1eam posters. similar clements cun be found in the majority of them. Schedule information is included as well os game locale. Of course the focal John M. Myers point-the unifying clcmen1of 1he postersOpinion are the team ponrai1s.

The most dynamic of the portraits are thematic in nature. For example, the la1e.~1basebol11eam poster has the boys in uniform 01op a firetruck with a look of sternness on each face. The large hellish leners dominate with a shon, self-congra1ula1ory "ON FIRE!" Last season's \'Ol lcyball poster has the team ou1 of their usuol uniform and imo blue jeans and bomber jackets with red scarves. 111c photo was taken by the ubiquitous Jesse Tinsley at the Silverwood theme park.

The park's biplane rests a1 stoge left. The e.,.er inspiring phrase '"THE SKY'S THE LI MIT' brings nil of the visual elements together.

TI1c team coaches arc responsible for the design ond feel of the posters. One coach has chosen substance over Oash. The men's basketball coach Roland Williams thus far has taken a classic streamlined approach 10 his team's posters. He is well aware of his color photo option, and he has shunned ii. He and Ansel Adorns. black and while e.,.cry time. All of his posters are devoid of theme. Thus Roland Williams is happy.

He added that they weren't cheap and 1t will cost the college around S600 to replace lhem: S600 lhat the college shouldn't have to shell out.

The games were played here on the NIC field and the Cards sinned out strong as they stopped the Timberwolves dead in their tracks in the first inning, but il turned sour in the third as a simple double play was botched, allowing Blue Moumain 10 send five runs 10 the plate.

"We were just not hilling ll1e ball," Head Coach Jack Bloxom explained. "Being in scoring positions many times, we just couldn't seem 10 gel them in. You've go1 your pitching, hilling and defense; without these three keys going al the same time, your not playing to your true potential. Just one or the other just didn't cul It in the first game."

Jim Gray and Kevin Barger combined their cffons on the mound for the Cardinals. Shonsiop Todd Beruam rolled in a double, leaving the score at 5-2 in the third and outfielder Andy Nauh hil a doubled in another run.

Blue Mountain starter Boo Morrison had four hits off the Cards.

A great ll1row by left fielder Jeremy Monds 10 catcher Brian Bradley held the Timberwolves by live: however,af1er leaving 11 players on base. NIC didn't have the momentum 10 knock ll1em, in leaving Blue

Mountain 10 run away whh the win.

The momentum picked up in the second game as sinner David Wayne stepped up 10 the mound, pitching a beautiful game. Bloxom accredits Wayne's pitching to their win.

"David had a great night pitching." Bloxom said.

"He pitched a full seven innings and threw only 72 pitches. That was probably the highlight of the game."

NIC came back with two runs in the third, including an RBI by pitcher Shawn Barrington and a sacrifice ny

by Nault. The winning run was scored by Monds in lhe sixth inning. He cros~ed 1.he plate after errors made by Blue Mountain leaving the score at 3-2.

Over the weekend the team dropped to a 1-6 league record, losing two Saurday. April 16. against the College of Southern Idaho, who stole the first game 42. CSI pitcher Kevin Shafer pitched a six -hiller for the Eagles. but NIC pitcher Jason Ford stuck out 13. allowed seven singles and gave up only one run. The nighica p of the game was won by the Cardinals 9-2.

Sunday's game against the Eagles sparked NIC's fusl league win in over 1,vo weeks knocking CSI 6-4 after NIC second baseman Geoff Hiria singled and moved 10 second on a sacrifice and scored off a double

by Wayne. Bradley followed with n RBI triple, securing the victory.

This now puts the Cards baseball record 01 12- 15 overall and 2-6 in the NJCAA Region 18.

The American Library Association will attempt for 1hc first time ever 10 take a national "snapshot" of library customer satisfaction by asking libraries 10 p11r1icipatc in a national survey.

"Customer service is the hcan of our profession.'' ALA President Hardy Franklin said.

"Sometimes that means asking questions as well as nnswering them."

As with the two senators, LaRocco was also gracious enough to answer questions. One such question came from Christa Manis involving n cigarcue tax--Why tu smoking 01 all when locylenc Elders tells America ii is not healthy?

Why not simply jus1 do away with tobacco?

Klinger. who came 10 NIC in 1985 and rook over lhe Review in 1987. and is dressed !his day in Birkcnstocks, gray jeans and bunon.<Jown plaid shirt, lirsl explains the books 1i1le. ''The title is lhe name of an actual creek in North Idaho and the area is one where logging, mining, etc.. were made possible by lhe railroad a century ago."

TCR is a Class 2 publication, which basically means ii is used as a venue for up and coming writer$. The publication is well designed and its cover work can only be described as graphics of the highest fonn. The 1994 edhion is due ou1 next month has an inspirational cover design done by Jennifer Higgins. who has been laboring under the as1u1e rureludge of Laura Unrhum·s Portfolio Art Class.

by Rya\l Bronson Sentinel ~tafT A long tinte ago, plant'~ were like particles orbiting around a giant solar mass - the sun. 'l'he particles that avoided coJlislon arc the planets we have today. Fortunately, Earth su~vived.

Earth settled and adapteb to Itself, welcoming life, and eventually organ1sms, to live and prosper upon its surface. Since then, evolution has taken its course - and humans ruJ Earth.

Unfortunately, we haven't taken care ol' Earth. Pollution, litter, use of resources, etc. arc subjects we all ucknowledge as a public problem, yet we can't relate those problems into our individunl lives.

Earth Day wns created in 1970 by an environmental senator, Gaylord Nelson.

Every April 22, students all over the world spend time pickjng up litter and learning about the environment.

1\venly-four yen rs ago, the day was celebrated by. closing down New York's Fifth :I: A"enue, and tens of thousands of people filled the streets. Congress adjourned for the day so congressmen could speak around the country. Over 2,000 colleges marked the ~ day and an estimated 10 million public schoolchildren took part ln U1c event. In ~ communities across the country, people R}ckcd up litter, plugged sewer efflu ents that Iwere contaminating rtvers and demonstrf t~d at poUuters' factories. ~ Earth Day reptesented the birth of ehvl'\nmcntalism - the first environmental rn mass mobidi.atton In our nation's history - ~Yd reached people from all walks of Ufe. Citizens were no longer wllling to leave tlJ fa of our planet In the hands of -:s:, God, or In the hands of business-crazed pollll ans nd factory owners. \ Earth Day is credited for sparking th overnme to create the EfironmentaJ ~ Protection Agency. ~ Earth Day celebrated Its 20th a · versary In 1990. It was gi en a Supera> Bowl hype, and people responded. But s then, the day bas be n kept lo low ~ ~ key. How quickly our society forgets Its p blems.

Sure, manufacturers make products ask yourself If the poUcles are strict anythlog about It, ask someone wh In the future, people won't ve ture to do as ch as open a window ~ for even a few minutes unless 's the dead night, as is already the ~cl) case In Mexico City. But wl the right dges from the right ~~ people - all the people children could be asking us ~ how we could live, b plagued by pollution.
