North Idaho College's Student Newapaper • Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Tuition escalates, felt most by out-of-state students by Ryan Bronson Stntintl rtporter Nonh Idaho College is raising ilS 1ui1ion and foes for studenlS ne1.1 )ear and 1he ou1-of-s101e s1uden1S will be lhc hardest hit by the increases. Ou1-of-s1a1c students will barely lake a 25 percent increase in 1ui1ion next yearns a result of n request by 1he Idaho S1n1c Board of Educnlion. Ou1-of-srn1crs will pay a 1013120.9 percent increase in tuition and fees. raising the cost from $1,26610 SI ,530 per semester. In-slate students will have their 1ui1ion increase JUSI S15 per semester but there will also be a S10 increase in fees. raising the cosl from $465 10 $490 per semester. The increase in fees includes u S5 library fee and a raise in NIC"s mandatory insurance policy for Mudems. which rises from $86 10 $91. Dean of StudcnlS David Lindsay said 1he increases will help the college 10 accomplish some of ilS long-1em1goals from lhe pasl. 'There are a number of ways 1he increases will benelil the college." Lindsay said. "For the past live years we've been trying 10 get 1he faculty's salaries up 10 the overage of the market pince. Next year. we will be a1 1hc average."

Lindsay said 1he ou1-of-m1e students were hi1hardest by the increases.

"Our ou1-of-s101c 1ui1ion hos been very low." Lindsay said. ·we tried 10 lake a higher percent of the increases from 1hem because they don' 1 pay laxes in Idaho.'" "First of all, we wan1 10 be able 10 pay our employees well," Lindsay said. "Second, 1he increases will help pay for moinlenancc and recreation for the s1udcn1s. 1l1ings like lixing the gymnasium and lhc Hedlund building cost the college a 101 or money.'' Lindsay said the college hasn't s1ood around wnitlng for 1he state 10 help wi1h maintenance. "We took a prcuy aggressive stand.'' Lindsay said. 'There hove been a 101 of things lhal have needed auen1ion. and we're not standing around waiting for 1.he stOlc 10 lake care of 1he problems. We've put a 101 of our own money in10 several projects on campus:· In comparison. 1he cost to auend NIC is far less than any other school in Idaho or Spokane. College of Sou them Idaho, for example, charges Sl.000 a year for in-Male s1udcn1S. NIC only charges $980 a year for in-s1n1e s1udcn1s bul 1.ha1cost includes the insurance policy 1ha1 other schools don't have for s1udenlS. Linsay also said the focully and s1udcn1s have accepted 1he increases in stride. "We're just trying 10 do what's reasonable for 1he college.'' Linsay said.

ASNIC board meeting calm despite election tension by J.A. Jeske Stminel Rrponer

Fire was promised but all went up in smoke at Friduy's Associntcd Students of Nonh Idaho College meeting. Sources said the mec11ng should have produced a healed debate over the n:ccnt election improprieties but the issue lialed and the Inst meeting of this year's ASNIC bo,ird ended like a Marth lnmb. The controversy stemmed ovtr the late arrival of candidates Seth Sievenpipcr's nnd Patrick Camie's statement of goals and Jessica Waller's allcrJtion of her

petition from president to senator. Several members of the board said that initially the election committ11e, a board make up of ASNrC members and advisery personnel who decide election indescretions. had decided 10 nssess Sievcnp1per and Carnie with a$ 15 line and issue a reprimand to Waller. Thal wns dispelled at the meeting with a reprimand 10 the three offenders being the consequence. Sen. Kris Stein told the board that he had decided 10 take it upon himself to revamp the bi-laws, "in ligh1 of this mess." and asked for volunteers 10 help. NIC President C. Robert Bcnnen addressed the board.

saying it had been a rough year, but it was a good teaming experience for everyone involved, adding that he and others had "gained a healty respect for student go,•emment.'' He nlso praised Christa Manis. former ASN1C president, for the job she had done and wished them all well. "I hope you gained something from It." he said. "\Ve did." Manis 1hcn announced that Dr. Bennett had refused a challenge by her to a sumo wrestling match on May 3 in 1he SU13. 10 which Bennett replied that he knew better than to accept thoi challenge.

New associated student body officers take over President Higgins ready for action with plans for next year by Mlchelle Schwend lnstonJ Culture Editor Ryan Higgins is the newly-elected Associated Students of Nonh Idaho College President for next school year. A grand total of 169 ballots were counted in which Higgins took home

mos1 of those votes. Higgins will continue working on next year· s budget from his experience with this years. According to Higgins. a few of the first things on his list will be to work out the insurance problem so studenis won ·1 have to wail for six month~ before they receive their refund. Higgins also said that he and Denn of Students David Lindsay have started on a plan to rebuild a new Student Union Building. "We will be taking the plans from 1he old SUB and turning them around to mnke a new and improved SU13," Higgins said. Photo by Fekadu Klros He said that the two men will start Take charge kind of guy- New ASNIC President Ryan working on that now and get movements Higgins s//s with his gavel, presiding over his first meeting into ac1ion as soon as possible. as head honcho/ The ASNIC vice-president and sophomore senators were also elected. Former freshman senator Kris Stein received 126 votes as the vicepresident and the three senators totaled 267 votes throughout the campus. The three sophomore sena1ors that were elected were the only ones that ran for the offices. Patrick Camie, Jessica Walter and Seth Sievcnpiper are sitting in those new scats now. Waller had previously been a freshman senator and Carnie continued his position of sophomore senator from last yrar. Problems arose when Camie and Sievenpiper turned in their statcmrnt of goals late and Walter crossed out the vicepresident title on her petition and wrote in senator. All three candidates were reprimanded at the final ASNIC board meeting of the •93. '94 school year but no other penalties look place. All or the new board members will be communicating over the summer and Higgins said that the main concern for everyone is continuing on the same level of education and uy nol to hove any problem rise bcc.luse of the Lee Hall remodeling.

First speech 289 class in over ten years to hold competition

by Kyle Ca.5pcr Stnti11tl Rrporru O.:b:11e class or speech 209, a class thni hasn't been offered at NlC since 1978, was rcinstutcd this semester as pan of a communication Ol(IJOr nnd will be holding a public dcb.itc May 18. The debate. which will be held in 1ixld Lecture Hall in the Library and Computer Center building :u I p.m.. will have two of the best debaters from the class debating the topic: "Resol"ed: Toe United States Government should provide health cruc for all its citi£ens." Toe debaters will be chosen by a pnnd made up of Ilic other students m the class as well as the in~lructor. according to Mona Klinger, instructor of the coun,c. Judges for the debate will be the other students in the cla~s and Kl inger. A first place trophy will be given as a pri7.c for winning the debate. Toe debate will be the final exam for the two students debating and judging combined with a critique of the debate will be the final for the other students, according 10 Klinger. Toe class focused almost exclusively on the health care is~ue as the topic for the debates and used a LincolnDouglas debme style which debates what is right or wrong for the country. Also. students wcren 't taught just 10 debate issues ll1ey agrl!ed with, but rather to be able to debate an

issue to the best of their ability regardless of personal feelings. Klinger smd. C~y Goc11~ a student in the class and communication major, said, " fherc's been a lot of research for this class. but it's been n lot or fun with quite n bit of adrennline involved in the actual debates.'' The reason, says Klinger, there hasn't been a class since 1978 is that, "No one wanted to teach it and it's a 200 level speech class but now that we have a communication major. I think we'll q:e more intcrest... up until three years ago we had a debate team that was like the Sentinel in that it wn.~ nationally ranked." Jason Burke, student and communication major, ~aid, "It's great, where else do you g.:t 10 argue for fun?" Klinger said, "Across the country. debate had become son or a Renaissance because of the whole critical lltinking movemcnt ...60 to 70 percent of people tn Congress and n vast majority of the presidents have been debaters." Toe debate will be videotaped and will be open and free to the public, according to Klinger. Klinger said she hopes to sec .a good-sized audience show up for the event to get public speaking experience for her students and hopefully a grea1er interest in debate will bloom.

LG BA issue highlights '93-'94 school year by J.A. Jeske Sentinel Reporter In one year, the 60th year of Nonh Idaho College, the Associntcd Student of Nonh Idaho College swep1 into power amid the minor election controversy and then embroiled themselves in whnt is now the acronym recognized nationwide: LGBA. The Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Allinncc, n group of students who petitioned ASNIC for club sanctioning, were denied recognition by the student board. The ensuing controversy ignited the naming passions of NIC students, student from colleges nnd universities abroad. area residents. the news med in from the Los Angelns 1imcs to the Wall Street Journal and USA Today, rndio nnd television talk shows, attorneys-Idaho's attorney generol and the ACLU-and the morals of a nm ion of people anguishing over public acceptance of homosexuality. following is a chronology of events, according to some ns the most divisive in NlC's history and a glimpse of the people, places and things thnt sparked a small brush lire into a raging fireball . The story broke following on the heels of the October International Conference on Human Rights: Empowering Women, held on NIC's cnmpus. This conference dealing with women's rights wns received favorably by the news media, the general population and the near 1,000 attendees. Ocl. 15. Reponer Sherry L. Adkins grabbed the NIC Sentinel front page with her story detailing the upcoming Nob. 12- 13 homosexual youth conference to be held on campus, which would deal with homosexual matters in on educational format. featuring keynote speaker Dill Wassmuth. executive director for the Nonhwest Coalition Against Malicious Harnssment. NIC sociology instructor Peggy Federici, steering committee member. were two key motivators in organizing the conference. Federici said she wanted to be n pan of the solution and Snyder said he wanted enlightenment for all concerning this issue that was

"not going away." ·n1c event was to be sponsored by NIC's Human Equality Club nnd a host of other ware human rights groups. OcL 28. In a Collow-up story. Adkins reponed that NIC would not sponsor or fund the conference as the Human Equality Club hnd voted to do so. Behind 1he scenes, however, con1roversy simmered as to whether the club intended 10 sponsor the conference and allegations from some community members charged that the conference should be aboned. Nov. 12. The conference wns held, eight unifom1ed police officers patrolled the event. While no problems were reponed, bul then the issue heated up. Nov. 22. About 100 people attended the NIC Board or Trustee's meeting und allegations were made concerning the impropriety of young children looking at homoscxualy explicit material, the belief 1hnt n college should 001 be the place to promote nn unhealthy lifestyle and the lirst threats of lawsuit were aired. ASNIC gave their blessings to the conference, with president Christa Manis receiving a sianding ovation for her. "the buck slops here" speech, 1elling those nsscmbled that allowing the conference on cnmpus, despite her own beliefs. wns an issue that needed to be addressed and any comments should be sent to her office. Mid-December. The Christmas break saw most studenL~ hcadcd home for the holidays. but two events happened that would overshadow the conference debate and propel NIC. ASN!C and the l~GDA into a battle that seeped into the national news: the LOBA petitioned ASNLC for studcn1 club statu~ and on Jan. 21, ASNIC voted 5-2 to deny them. A spark had ignited a raging lire. Anorney Harvey Richman, a guest speaker at the conference was hired by the LGBA and Attorney Peter Erbland wns retained as priv:ue counsel to ASNIC. Manis. speaking for the m:tjority of the board, said a club based solely on sexual preference was not needed on campus and

the NIC Human Equality club was in place to address such issues. Richman said a federal civil rightS lawsuit would be liled if the decision was not reversed. Feb. 12. During ASNIC's meeting, NlC Human Equali1y Club President Linda Payne clarified I.he clubs position, saying the club was not proac1ivc, but renctive and 1hc United States Constitution was very clear on this issue and asked 1hat the LGBA be sanctioned. Feb. J6. The state attorney general's office issued OD opinion 1hat said in pan to deny sanctioned of the club would"... violate the alliance member's right to associn1e and the right to have access to an open and public forum." ASN IC remained lirm. No. Feb. 23. The NIC Board ofTrustees met and a prepared ~rntemcnt was read into the minutes. The board unnnimou,ly recogni,.cd the club if ASNIC would not. Board members repeatedly asked Munis if ASNlC would reverse their decision. to which she said. "Nothing has changed,'' but that u formal decision would be made at the upcoming Friday meeting. Feb. 25. Again ASNIC said no. with n 3-2 vote, which automatically enacted the Board of Trustee's rcsolu1ion $anctionlng the club·s existence on campus. Feb. 27. The Coeur d'Alene Press called for letters from the community and ran n multi-page Sunday special of more thnn 100 rcspon,;cs. from anyone wishing to write, wi1h a few more writers bncking ASNLC thnn those opposed. Morch 2. This moral lire was just a smoldering residue or sparks when a well-attended meeting of the NIC Inter· Club Council saw a number or NlC club spokespersons lash out n ASNIC members' ambiguous resolution to disband clubs. A majority of the ottendees expressed the belief thn1 this was a retaliatory mea~ure. The resolution died nnd so too. it seems. did the LGBA debate. Moy 10. The LGBA hold its first meeting. as an official NlC recognized club.

LGBA: Not an issue of Errors: Teacher calls opposition, but violation attention to atrocity Editor, The purpo~ of colltgc i, to one, hopofully get a degree, 11nd two. to become a more well-rounded person. The lotter or lhese two h.is been recently gh·ing me 11robh!ms. My attempts 10 absorb and understood today's se.,unl. sociol and religious differences hos. I believe, made me a much more openminded person, but when one is forced to accept something before understanding, it leads to resentment. When I nm expected to respect other's "rights" or understand their position when they have little or no understanding or mine it puts me in position that is hard to swallow. I believe what I believe. for the most, because it is what my parents belic,·c. what their parents believe and the community I w:is raised in believes, right, wrong or indifferent. You arc not going to change a community's belier by making them resentful. They and I being "homophobic" is more hereditary :ind biological th:in those who nre homosexual. Just as the members or LGBA expect others to accept !hem, they also must expect others to reject them. as you are to yours and if you were forced to suppon some son of anti-LG BA club, you would be cqunlly resentful. I am not ncccsswily against the LGBA club, but I am ngninst being forced to accept it! Sincerely, Kun Holland

Editor, First, let me congratulate you on con~i\lcn1ly being one of the top college papers in the country. Then, let me warn you that keeping such a lofty ~tutus will not be easy if you keep running public service announcements like the one on page 15 of the Apri l 22 issue. The ad urges students not to plagiarize, and in fact, makes plagiarism appear to be n unethicnl as it truly is. The ad talks about the imponance of real !taming. thus making it ironic, since proper spelling is part of teaming. You see, 1he ad had only 38 words in it, occupying a founh of the page, but of those 38 words. a misspelling occurred eight limes. That' s ccnainly not award-wi nning material, even if the intention was good. • The glaring part about this is that the word which was misspelled was used as a border for the cnlirc ad. That smacks of showing off one's ineptitude, don't you think? The ad asks readers to ask David Lindsay of student services any questions about plagiarism. So here's a question: Can you find the misspelling and can you see its irony on an ad urging student~ to toke lenming seriously? Spelling isn't everything, but it's a sign of being educntcd, if done correctly! Mike Ruskovich- Coeur d'Alene High School Teacher

Getting to know staff makes school more like home I did an interview obout o week :ind a half ago with John Jensen and he made a comment that caused me to think a linlc bit. He said that when you are a student, it is good to know faculty and smff members personally. He went on to s:1y that when he went to school here, he knew a lot of the staff and he had a feeling of !his being more like home. The more I though! about it, the more I knew thnt he was right. When I first came to this school. I knew nobody. After I got to know my place here and I got to know more people, I felt thnl I belonged and thnt I was going to be at ease with most of lhe things that I was to do. The foct that I am on the Sentinel staff and also holding an editor position helps the fnct but I realized that lhe more J>l!Ople I knew, the more people I h:ive pulling for me. I'm not talking nbout winning :iny popularity conte~ts Qr ,mything but it helps when your ~tuck in 3 position that you need help with. If I run cvc:r in a bind. I know that I can go to one of 1hese people nnd they will do wha1 tlu:y can to hclp me. h's nice to know that I can call MicheleSchwend up o fncuhy member ond say my Opinion nnmc nnd where I nm from (Sentinel) nnd they know who I am. For example.just last week I met one or the advising ~JX.'Cinlists on campus. He had no idea who I wa.s but I hnd :in interview with him nnd now I fool that I c:in walk down the Sll\.'et and instead of just s.,y 'hi.' I cun ac1ually carry on a respectable conversmion with him. Another example th.II happened right before I •,at down ttl finish the rest or tht) column. J was walking down the ~idewalk on the way to my neu etas~ and I was cul'Sing under my breath because of something that ju~t happened. I !hen approoched by Joe Cb~rnan, who Wll.', walking down the sidewalk, too. and he asked was wrong. J told him and he made a comment tha1 c-.ilmt:d my nervL"> and mode the situa1ion s.:crn not as b;td us it had seemed ot lirst. He srud. "We're here for you." I will be spon., editor nc~t scm~ter and I will have to g.:110 know many more people to be uble to do my Job and I'm 1101 exactly sure how to go about it. My first thought W'4~ to just let what happens happen (a rule I always try to live by) and my second idc.s was to actually go and meet these people. In my aise that would be difficult because I am the kind or person that doesn't just walk up to people and greet them. something has to hllppen in order for us to meet. M3ybe I do something m order to meet that person but I don't walk up to them for no reoson (I know, it's a bad quality). I'm not saying that e,·eryonc on campus should go out :ind meet these people Just to get ahead in life. I don't w:int faculty members to read this column and think that I only wont lO know them because they C'all do things for me. That is not what I am S11ying. Maybe I have gotten off or my main point which was the fllCt that it i~ nice to know administrative people bt.'Cause it 8"CS you a sense of feehng 01 home when you are going to 5Chool here. To sum it all up for those of you who just skipped to the 111.\t p.vagrapb, the ovc:rull idea that I am trying to gel across is that if you have a chance to meet one of your elders on campus. don't give up lhe opponunity. Just like John Jensen told me, you'll reel belief.

Jonas adds historical sculpture to collection on campus by Sherry L Adkins Stmi,iel Rtporru f'Or 1he past 16 yc:in-. witl1 a gentleman's casquene neiltly poised abo,e his brow, Joe Jonas hos been n pcm1nncn1. c~ualty clod fixture on campus. The brilliant tmll of nn work he has left behind is anydling but casual. The NIC an instructor con claim credit for the col0$$al figures udoming the front of Christianson Gymnn_~ium, the abstruel .;culpture in front of Boswell Hall and the rough marqucuc "Search for Beauty, Truth and Goodness'' "hich animates the llbrury. His "Piono Mon" crea1ion can also be 5Cen on i.hc walls of Boswell Hall next to the auditorium entranee. Jonas' ln1cs1 forge of creativity, cntilled "Yesterdny's Memory-Tomo1TOw's Vision," will be unveiled in the library foyer between noon and 12:30 p.m. on May 20 following commencement exercises. The anhtic endeavor con~isLS of five high and low bronze relief panels which depict an historical tribute 10 area Native Americans as well as i.hc hu.tory and development of Nonh Idaho. It all began ~'C years ago when Jonas was approached by

NIC President Bob Bennett ond ~an of Public Reltttions Steve Schenk. The p.iir suggcs1ed that the anist create a piece that would depict the hi~toricnl nspect of the Coeur d'Alene a,en. Jona., agreed

"Because of the variation of relief, it will make you move around and participate in the viewing." --Joe Jonas

'lbe second panel is d.:dicated to the Indian Na1ion. past and present, and depicts achier with a symbolic pc.ice pipe. According 10 Jonas. the pipe represents i.hc present condition of i.hc "modem Indian." The third panel centers on i.hc historical aspec15 of the surrounding area from abou1 184010 1900 and inuoduct$ the presence of the "white man." The discovery of gold and silver is shown by Jonas' use of a gold panncr and the Fon Shcnnan military is shown i!long with the steamships 11ml .... ere common place on area lakes during this era.

Real men give good back rubs I recei,·ed a bit of whining from a few men nftcr my last column, in which I ad,•ised women not to hn"c a serious relationship while in college because it would only get in the way of their more imponant goals. (Again I repeat, this was not a male-b:lshmg column.) Men are wonderful and let's f.lce it, who else do we ha\'c to love? The whining I received came mostly from well-intentioned men who would very much like to make a woman happy, but are confusoo as to what they Wilnt. So since it is the end of the year and now is the season for all those bJu summer romances, I am going to give this guide of what women want as 1 gift to all you men thnt whined h is also n gift for my fellow ladies, hopefully the men will take this to hean. and those summer romnnces will be just that- HOT!! f rin Siemers A (male) friend of mine O...- tifi"'"""'•:...." recently told me that what women i- uu n..uuv,, want is easy- they wont half. This i~ not necessarily true. (I, for example, definitely wont more than half.) I know that you men get frustmted, women nrc a difficult bunch to understand. So men: read thi~ and maybe you'll get a clue. Women: read tl1i~ and lerun what to ovoid. Tip# I A si~ pack of beer is not a date. Tip #2 Avoid men whose only topic of conversation seems to be about getting wasted, or their last girlfriend. Tip #J A real man pays for half of the birth control. Tip #4 A real man pays good compliments. ("Nice ass" is not a compliment.) Tell her you admire her intelligence and wit. And ladies: it doesn't hun to pay one back! Tip #S A real man doesn't took at babies like they are the devil's spawn, ond doesn't mind petting your cat. Tip II(, This is a big one. Lcnm what to say when we ask you how we took. This may take some prnctice in the mirror. First, let your jnw flop open in awe and let a look of pure shock spread across your face and say," I think you get more beautiful every 1ime I see you. Someone call Cosmo." Or we might ask you if we look fol in our new shons. Shnke your head admiringly and say, "babe, I can' t believe how thin you took today, Wanna go for an ice cl'\!3mT' Tip 117 Look at her when $he is talking to you. Don ·1 look over her shoulder at the T. V. Don't keep looking ai your watch. Don't interrupt and change the subject. Listen! For example, Her. ··1 can'I believe the dny I had, I...." Hirn: "My God! Did you see the site of that catT' Tip #8 A real rnon is not afraid of the words, "I'm sorry." Tip #9 A real man will ask. "is this O.K?" And will stop if it isn't. Tip #10 RClll men do not think feminist points of view :uc a sign of PMS. (Did he cheer at the end of 'Thelma and Louise?") Tip #11 Real men cook! (Check out his fridge, is there more than just baking soda in there?) Tip 112 Real men don't think romance is throwing his T· shin over the lamp and 98 KISS on the clock radio.

Almost one and a half billion people ploy soccer for fun. Howc"cr, here in Nonh America Jonas Gorauskas soccer jus1 doesn't seem to tickle the Opinion people's fancy. The understanding of the game is no1 in 1he blood of 1he American people. Mos1 of my friends here find soccer boring.

I'm no1 writing this 10 badmou1h ano1her spon in favor of soccer. I'm here 10 show tha1 1here are many 01her facets of Lhc game of soccer 10 be apprecia1cd.

Or about the team from Cameroon 1hn1 made history. as the fiNI African na1ton 10 make a, far 3\ quanerfinal in u World Cup. The~ fans cn.n 1cll you every detail because 1hey love the game or soccer.

In my country (Brtuil) and many 01her countries a child firs1learns 10 kick o ball wi1h his fee1, and by developing lhe nbilhy 10 dribble and kick accurn1cly the child also develops a love for lhc game. This doesn•1seem 10 happen in 1he United Stales. Herc 1he emphasis is on spons 1h01 use the hands. The game of soccer has \'Cry simple rules. The high le"el 1h.:111hc game is played 01 today, the tense momems. frustrations, and salisfoctions are wba1 bring more and more fnns 10 the spon every day. Soccer is a game 1ha1 allows its fans to panicipa1e in 1hc game itself. Because of iis simplicily. the fans gc1 acutely involved in 1hc mo1ion of a ma1ch. What lhey do and think make them pan of 1he game. Americans don·1 understand the game because 1hey have never been exposed to i1 appropria1cly. To unders1and soccer is 10 love it It's uuu simple. I know ~11he grandeurof1he fe:11iv1ties won't beou1shint'd by the lack of m1eres1IIJld undcrs1anding of the Americans.

Darcy wns an abandoned girl and Lihua was the name she was assigned when put into a foster home. The Gross family decided to keep thnt name and use it for her middle name. Because of a one child law in China. it is believed that Darcy was abandoned because she could hove been the second child. She also may hove been abandoned for being a girl because most ChinClle parents want their one child 10 be a boy.

At one point they had 10 fly out 10 Washington D.C. 10 clear up some of the paper work. However, 1hey ~aid ii was definitely worth ii and without a doubt they would go through it all over again. "Despite the fact that 1he process of foreign adoption is on involved one. we would do i1 again, and we plan 10 do jusl 1hat in a couple of years." Gross said. "With so many chilurc:n dying of neglect in Chinese orphanages. i1 is sobering 10 think that ano1hcr potential daughter of our~ could be over 1here and it's up 10 us 10 get her ou1," Gros~ said.

Job Fair brings opportunities for employment 11;,

by Fekadu Klros Stnrintl Reponer For the busy college students that don't have time to look for a summer job, the Job Fair wns n great opportunity. The Nonh Idaho College Job Fair, held in the SUB on April 25, brought about 11 businesses from the Coeur d' Alene area. All the businesses that were on campus from 11-2 p.m. had open positions available, said Financial Aid Counselor Janet Neihouse. The businesses represented were: the Coeur d'Alene Resort, Montgomery Wards, Greyhound Park, Humanix Temporary Services, Homestead Painting, Wild Waters, Design Events, Forest Pluce, Templins Resort, Rosauers, Kelly Temporary Services and Maurices. Most of the businen that attended the fair said that it was a success. The Coeur d'Alene Resort

representative Bernadette Campbell said she had completed app lication forms returned. The reason the Reson was attending the fair, she said, wns to get new people, I!) make it easier for students nnd 10 enable students 10 get application forms without missing classes. She also added that the Coeur d'Alene Resort will be accepting more applications for summer employment. The representative from Humanix Temporary Services said they attended the fair because of the convince it brings to students. They also have openings for summer and application forms can be obtained from their office. Tonya Hall, a representative from Greyhound Park, said this fair brings "an opponunity 10 meet students on one-10,one basis." She added that she has received a positive interest from students. Although the participation from students was fairly slow in the morning, as 1he afternoon progressed <

several students were asking questions nnd obtaining application forms from the various businesses. According 10 Doug Hassenpnug, a sophomore at N1C, the Job Fair was a great opponunity. "I am lazy nnd I won't go to the Reson 10 get an application," said Hnssenpnug who was obtnimng information and an application from the Coeur d'Alene Resort representative. The selection of 1.he business was done by distributing niers through the Chamber of Commerce, and all the bossinesses rnterested were 111vited. The one requirement being that they have an open position, sajd Neihouse. The number of business was limited to a small number because of the timing. Neihouse said. but the number 1s expected to grow in the future. Neihouse. the main organizer of the fair, said the program will be held again next year, and it will be "better and bigger."
