Review presents NIC with accreditation

by Jerr Jeske Stnllnt'I Rtportu NIC Pres1den1 Robert C. Bennell received a lcucr of 11ccredita1ion on June 30 from the Northwest Association of Schools nnd Colleges by the Commission on Colleges Exec ut ive Director Joseph A. Malik.

The policy of the comm,ssion is not 10 grant accred11a1ion for II defini te number of years. bu t 10 renew occredi1a11on periodically. Each institut ion is asl.ed 10 conduct a self-study and 10 be visited by a full-ev11lun11on commmee ot least once every IO years.

Duri ng the liflh year, the ms1i1u11on must submit on interim report and be \'iSited by one or more commission rcpresent:ui,·cs.

The acc rediiation of NI C was reaf(irmed on the basis of the recent comprehensive self-study and full -scole eval uation. This is a con tinuing recognition thnLall colleges throul!hou t the notion must receive in order to

be eligible for federal funding.

The policy of the co mmission requested n focused interim report and visit in the spring of 1994 in order 10 address so me general recommendations made during their vi sit last April.

The recommendation they will address conce rn s NI C' s proposal for a general cduc111ion policy. the establi shment of on ongoing un iform -performance evaluation for all faculty, 1hc full imple mentati on of on educational assess men1 plan and, as was recomm ended in 1983. that NI C should develop one overall mas ter pion 10 include programming an d facilit ies.

"There has bee n a general education program in effect for over four years," Dr. Jerry R. Gee, dean of instruction said. "Wh111 (the commission) is addressi ng is more 1oward the Vo-Tech and we now have 1hc ins1ruc1ors teaching math. English. speech. job-seeking and other job relau:d skills 10 1hose students. We're in great shape."

A comminee ho's been working for over a year on the facuhy evaluation review headed by Associate Dean Ka1hy Christie.

"I don'1 want people thinking we don'1 evaluate faculty.· Gee said. "(but) the administrati on mu st become more involved and students may start seeing denn s and associate deans in the classrooms doing evaluat ions more in the second semester."

Gee said he has put the educational assess ment plan on hold because it needs to be "modified, ~implified and streamlined. I hope to (hove it ) impleme n1ed by spring," Gee said. "We' re righ1 where we need to be."

Denn en said that a fac ilities plan has been outlined in response to the 1983 recommendation that one master plan for the entire college be worked out and th at ii will be implemented in January.

"A workshop is being planned for the end of the mon1h and I believe we 'll hove something to show," Bennen said.

College files suit contesting will Culinary Arts program postpor1ed

by Theresa Rcen'S Srntintl Reponcr The Unh~~tiy of Idaho and Nonh Idaho College have filed suil 10 contest the will of Cliff M:ilanya, a deceased Squaw Boy resident.

Oliginully. Malanya had~, up a scholnrship in hh wife's name tha1was 10 be split between NIC and the Um, e~i1y of ld.il10.

"Cliff inll'Oduccd it as a memorial to Nell," said Stephen Schenk. dean of College Rel111ions.

In M:tl:inya'i las1 will, which he wrote shonly af1er en1ering the Veteran's Administrotion office for c11ncer ue:urncms. he left the entire csU11e of over $170,000 to Jack and Dorla Finney, friends of Malanya who lcnl him land and o new mobile home for free.

During the early weeks of Sep1cmbcf. 1992, Malanya fell ill and had to be taken to the local hospital, where he was fim diagnosed with cancer. When Malanya entered the hospirnl for l!Ciltmen1 of the cancer, he began 10 speak of changing his will. according 10 Dorin Finney.

The Finneys said that over a period of about a week. they asked Malanya if he really wanted 10 change the will.

According 10 an Miele that appeared m the Coeur d'Alene Press. Mnlanya was disgusted when he heard of the problems that the Hedland building was having. and that he did not want 10 have anything more 10 do with the college. Or. Dennis R. Sheppard was brought m to test Mlllanya for competency. This 1cs1 was 10 allow him to change his will - legally.

Soon after his dcalh on Oct. 12. 1992. NlC and Ul protested that Mnlanya was pressured into changing his will by the Finncys.

"Nobody forced him in10 ii." Darla Finney said.

Dana Wetzel, the anomcy representing NlC, said she wanLS jurors to see that Malanya' s will w~ "~igncd under undue influence and duress:· The Finncys produced a petition wilh several hundred signatures supPoning the couple.

The money was given 10 lhe Finneys when Malanya passed away. and is already spent on their ncw, 1wo-s1ory. Victorian. Squaw Bay home. If they lose this case, the couple would have 10 give up much of their propeny around the bay. Dorla Finney said.

Darla Finney claims she can produce many documents lha1 prove mud1 of the money was given 10 her by Malanya before he died. These item\ include a 1984 pick-up truck tille, a St0,000 loan that Malnnya made 10 lhe Finneys in 1983 nnd another loan that 1otoled $20,000. which the Finneys used 10 stan a business. Much of the SI 0,000 loan was uscd 10 buy furniture for Malan ya· s home, said D.vla Finney.

If the money is reworded to the colleges Schenk says it will go directly 10 the scholarship. bu1 !he money will also be used 10 p.1y the lawyer, fees.

Work study students plentiful, funds remain scarce b) JonllS Gornu.skos Stntmd R~pcmtr \\'orl. stud, ha, btl!n cut in belhalf of student lo.ins. ~Orth Idaho C'ollct1C will recc1,e ICS) th.in la~t year for worl. study. The new lctnsloturc forced NIC 10 reduce the number of students on the program by about 50 ~,U<Jents, s.tid Janet 'leihouse, NI C's worl. study spccialis1.

According to Neihouse, l!ib students were on the college wwk \tudy program during the 1992-93 school year. This yeJJ 109 students wctt acceptetl into the program.

According to D0v1d Lindsay, dean of students, work study is pan of the financial aid program which is regulated by the ftderal govemmcm. The U.S. Congress dc1cm1ined that institutions like NIC should receive less money for work study and more money for studem loans, Lindsay said.

Financial Aid's policy asked applicants for many references and requirements in the past. New policies will allow almO)t everyone to qunlify for a student loan.

"My opinion is that students should cam their money on 1M wort study program instead of juM borrowing it," Lin~y said.

Lind~ay also said that he think thot students who arc awunlcd work ~1udy should not have 1he right 10 decline ii for loans. lns1cad, they hove to mkc work 5tudy 1f they are ,1warded it.

The coun~elor's office fears 1h01 students will tum down work study for loans with the illusion tho)e loans arc easy money. Pnst experiences show that o lot or students end the school year owing some kind of money 10 the Financial Aid program after the school year, Connie Dawson said.

Oepanmen1of Education s1n1is1ics show 1ha1in the last three yenrs the defau ll rate for two year public institutions has avernged 16 percent.

The overage amount awarded to students on work study a1NIC lost year was $2,200. This year 1hn1 number hos been reduced to SI,600, nnd thnt s11ll is not enough money 10 give out as many awards as (1151 year, Dowson said NIC received $49,185 from the Financial Aid progmm for work srudy last year. This year's budget wo.s cut down 10 $26,078, but requirements 10 qualify for student loans arc much less. Students can also borrow $1,000 more on loans than lost year. Dawson said.

S1uden1s that were in 1he program last year ,aid that the new policy is unfair. Muny of them are on the wa11ing list 10 enter the program and ended up having to borrow money from their parents.

The supervisors of NIC work study program say they have 10 do their work with Jes~ people. They said ii isn't a mauer of arguing ond complaining obou1 11: they have 10 work with the re~ourccs they are given. They said they hope that the N!C Financial Aid office will rearrange the awJJds so more people can ge1 in the program. ··we hove to live with it," said Bill Semmler, bookstore manager.

The NIC Financial Aid office had 10 borrow SI0.000 from this year's budget 10 cover a gap in the '92-93 budget. wt year NIC i~\ued 156 work study aw3!ds. S1a1b1ics \how 1h01 one· third of s1udcn1s awarded with work study every year end up declining it.

the needs of the college. aet"ording to NlC President Bob Bennett.

Bennett <.:lid the college is nearing 1Ls tuition caps for in- ond ou1--0f-dislric1 students, md NTC will only be able tu raise the out-of-slllte tuition, if the laws don·1 change in the immediate future.

Bennett said that the college cannot keep asking the local t.upaycr 10 conunuc absorbing the rising COM!..

"It seems like I spend such a large ponion of my time trying 10 fi111d dollars or working through how 10 spend those dollars ~ equiwbly a.nd ns fairly as ~ible.

'We did not get the kind of money from lhe Sllltc with respect 10 buildings, repair of buildings, :ind so forth that \\C would traditionally like 10 get," said Benne11.

According to Bennett, the college took money from the operating budget and put i1 into the repair of existing buildings.

Funding ha\ been alloca1cd in the budget 10 remedy the vcrullntion problems in 1M Hedlund Building. With almost S.5 million into i1 nil rcooy, Bennen said he would like 10 see it in full operution for the spring semester, provided ii passes all air quality tests.

Bcnnen said that renovation plans have been delayed ns school officials keep petitioning the state for help. "ff we are not able 10 get the money, then I think we have to wlk 10 the board a.bout some creative financing loc:illy 10 get the job done," Bennen said.

Other significant expenditures in this years budget include a S 180,000 telephone system upgrade, S27,000 into n work force training center, 540,000 for microscopes and S42.000 for an autoclave, a I5 percent i ~ in employee bcnefiL~as well as 5 percent average increase in salaries. Also, staff in~ s and full-time position jns1allments arc reflected throughout the budget.

Rolly Jurgens, dean or administration, said "We g0t 10 keep this (lhc NIC mission statement) foremost in our mind when we do our budget,'' 10 the other deans 01budget meetings earlier this year.

Jurgens said that adminiSUlllors find i1difficult to say at what level school maintenance and equipment upkeep are ,mpor1llllt to a student' s education, as well as the needs in other various depanmcnts.

According to Jurgens. the college goes through an elongated proctss of negotiating items in or out of the budget, only when the administrative counsel agrees that an item become pan or edited out of it. Jurgens summed it up as a "give and lllke."

"We have 10 become more imaginative in terms of how we're going 10 find the dollars and be as frugal as possible with how we· re going 10 spend them," Bennen said.

Value of college degree declining Lei's race ii. The much desired college degree doesn'1 mean wha1 ii used 10. .

This year a record number of people rcg1s1crcd al N'IC as matricula1ing s1udcnts. Wha1 inspires so many people 10 pay hundreds of dollars for someone 10 assign !hem sleepless nights ond menial nnxiery? .

For some rtaSon. the image of parents coming home from McDonalds covered wilh grease and sail from 1he french fries 10 cradle 1heir children in loving arms, 1hcn making them promise that lhcy will study hard and ~o 10 school so 1hey won I have to nip burgers for the ~1 of their lives appears in my mind¡s eye. or course. the kid is going to grow up with a complex.

JaSmfth So Jack and Jill all grew up ond trundled off to college, bu1 where nre they supposed 10 go from there?

Probably back 10 junk food alley 10 work alongside lheir parents, only with a useless diploma in their back pockets.

In our cu1-1luoa1 society the only way you can avoid having 10 sling hash, kiss somebody's feet or lick slime from their toilet is through divine intervention. Maybe 1ha1 is why society is making this massive re1um to school in lhe hopes llun they will come ou1 wilh wha1 they need to ~ct ahead of the crowd.

Bui there 1s also a crowd milling around in the halls of our ins111u1cs of higher learning. all of them chasing after lha1 sheepskin.

And along lhe way, ii is the s1uden1s who are gcning nccced.

As s1udcn1s \truggle 1hrough the miue of credits, requirmcn1s and cn:eping beauracy, they have 10 pay staggering costs.

Time: Most s1uden1i. have 10 pay 1heir own WII)' through school. ru,d thJt means working at a job 10 earn money 10 pay for ~chool while irying 10 keepup in crla.,~cs. Time olso may mean a need 10 do more than anyone can do in 24 hours. (kids, job, school. hobbies. and relaxation) Money: Tuition com arc ming, housing com arc ri,ing. 1ex1boo~ prices arc rising. and competition is JUM a., tough as ever for financial aid.(Over S40 for n new malh book? I don't think that arilhmatic changes all th3l ohen so why do lhcy have 10 put oul a new text every yeru1) Freedom: Students often have 10 plan their schedule$ for several semesters in advance, or turn down advancements a1 work in order 10 keep going 10 school.

What does thb gel the s1udcnls in return? . Today, large corporations nrc willing 10 leave the frulhful worker behind for lhc Mexican laborer who is willing 10 work for half the wage of the the American.

So what run I uying 10 gel m here?

Maybe whn1 I am U)'ing to say here is 1h01 we nil need 10 look at why we arc going to school.

A ~C!!fee may hel~ us do bener for ourselves in life. but w1ll II make our lives bener? Only by taking a look Bl what we need to learn. and wha1 we are learning cru, we really ge1 the maiimum benefi1 from our college 1uilion dollan.

Permit doesn't ensure parking The big news on campus this fall isn't a tremendously exciting topic like, say, ASNIC elections (hn-hn) or 1oiic fumes in the Hedlund Building, but it is n very real problem lhal the majority of students must face.

Campus parking, or should I say the lack thereof. is unquestionably one of the biggest problems faced by students here during the opening weeks or class.

Every day you see students Oy into class late grumbling th1111hcre nre no parking space.~ or s1udcn1S racing around in in a panic trying 10 find a spot before the bells sum 10 chime.

The probl~m generally arises during the peak activity times on campus like Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Even parking spots you could count on finding behind the library lni,t year are now nonexistent.

II costs lhc students SI Oapiece for n permit. After a cenain number of permits are sold, one would lhink 1ha1 the college would figure ou1 1ha1 they arc selling SQOlClhing Iha! no longer exists. If you purchMed a concen ticket wouldn 't you expect !here to be seat for you?

First lei's lllke a lool.. Bl I.he numbers. About 3,500 students enrolled here. To dote, I.he parking gurus have sold over 2,000 parking permits for I.he use of about 900 parking spaces. Somewhere the math just doesn' 1odd up and I.hey are selling more permits daily.

One argument is I.hat there c:cna.inly aren't 2.000 s1udents on campus at the same time and not all of them drive, but a lot more 1hnn 900 students arc on campus a1 once and the majority do drive.

The administrn1ion seems sympnthetic 10 the problem but is not sure of n fC11Sible economic solution.

The problem cenainly isn't 100 many staff parking spaces.

There have been 350 permitS issued 10 the staff, which includes about 300 regular more than holfâ&#x20AC;˘Lime employees and 50 pnn-timers. These 350 sulff members vie for the righl 10 park in about 180 parking spaces marked Smff Only. They are in the same boat as I.he Mudcnts.

About 20 reserved nrcus are, for the most pan, needed like parking spaces for President Bcnncn. the NIC nurse, I.he deans etc. Why the ASNIC president needs her own reserved spot is still a mystery. There are also 25 spaces for visitors only.

Why is I.here a parking problem? A 20 percent increase in enrollment is one. A big pan of that we can blame on the Califominns inundating Norlh ldllho, but that juicy topic will have 10 wait for ru, upcoming opinion column. Another reason is the lack of room 10 eitpand on campus. There re.illy isn't ru,ywhere 10 go other than up or down. The campus is oordered by natural boundaries 10 I.he south and the west by lhe lake and I.he river; a lumber mill I.hat's not going anywhere 10 I.he nonh and a residential area that lies 10 the C.!Sl.

The only feasible notion might be 10 build up or down.

The Universiry of Washington has underground parking.

Adding another level on lop of lhc library parking would work. There has been talk of rcac1i v111ing II train or trolley on I.he old tracks that come through I.he Fon grounds area. If that happened students could park in the city 101 and ride 10 campus.

The bollom line is money. There apparently isn't any. So until some becomes nvailnble students bener become accustomed 10 I.he aggravation of diligently searching for a spo1 tha1 they nil paid SIO for the privilege of having.

No problem, just step right up Ah, the supermnrket! The French deem it :1 sensory experience with its different aromas assailing the olfac1ory nerves from one aisle to tl1c next.

I, myself, have never been 10 France, mind you, so I'm only haJ.arding a guess. but I' II bc1 you n truffle the only sensory supermarket experience Americans are concerned about while shopping for groceries is gening in and out of the huge chain store conglomerate and still having enough change 10 slip Junior a qunner for the electric horsey ride.

This bold obscrva11on comes from n life.fang study of the American public. not al work or a1 piny, hut. you gues~cd ii, a1 the supermnrke1 or Wi I will refer to it in Dan Bell this article. lhe Supcrs1orc.

Opinion Supemores. largcr nnd more in1imidn1ing 1hun 1hc Astrodomc, assail the eye as you exit your cnr in the pnrking lot. Once inside. mountains of goods are stacked to the ceiling in every direction. And the music. Subliminal tunes programmed in such a way 1hn1 the consumer supposedly will do nothing but buy, buy. buy. l did a survey on Superstore music and come 10 two conclusions: No. t. One 1ape, sume music, in every Superstore across the nation.

No. 2. 76 pcrcenJ of the American public fantasize abou1 Kenny and Dolly doing it on nn island in n stream after a trip 10 their favorite Superstore.

And the giveaways. Pleasant-looking people with plastic wrapped hands stand at the end of every aisle, offering you everything from combreaded hotdogs 10 microscopic pieces of shrimp. You then proceed 10 Aisle 5 where you raise o shot glass-sized cup of Pepsi in thanks for the delec1able fare provided to you and yours by the Superstore.

Once you have found and s1owed all CS$Cntial items in your shopping can, it is 1ime 10 enter THE LINE. You can' 1jus1 enter any line. Eigh1 items or less, that's one line. Ten items or less, that's another. As long ns you C:l.Jl read these signs one would assume that a person is safe. No1 so. There falls a category of people so confused by what's in their shopping can, I C:l.Jl only assume the t1round·the-clock. all.night, 36.Sdays-a-year Supcrsiore was conceived exclusively for these pathetic, confused wretches.

I'm talking abou1 the people who have IO or more of the same i1em. If you think nbou1ii, 10 rolls of paper towels is only one item, or is i1? Some people seem to think so. Tha1's why you see in the 10-hem-or-less (or as we in the know refer to it as the express lane) with no trepida1ion, misdirected individuals proudly laying down 10 peaches. 10 cupcakes, 10 packages of meat and 10 rolls of toilet tissue.

To my way of looking at it, that adds up 10 a 101.al of 40, no mailer how you cu1 it up. There was a time I would tty and get the attention of the Superstore police, bu1 was shou1cd down by glassy-eyed customers with more imponan1 lhingson their minds. Like islands and streams and Kenny and Dolly.....

NIC takes 2nd in volleyball tourney Young Cards set early expectations, goals

by Jolene Green Sentinel Rtport~r Despile its youth, the Cardinal ,'Olleyball 1earn has proven thm being young doesn'l necessarily mean inexperienced.

The Cardinals made a s1rong showing las1 weekend laking second place in 1he College on 1he Lake Volleyball Toumamenl held here at NIC. In the lino) ma1ch.

1hey fell vic1im 10 Albcr1sons College 15-12.15-7.

According 10 Cardinal volleyball coach Bren Taylor. Hannah Bradford, Jamee Ashburn and Alli Wrighl a.II 1urned in good perfom1nnces. Wright had a 45 percent kill ratio for the tournament.

"I'm proud ofwhni 1hey've accomplished so far in the SC11Son," Taylor said. "We ha\'e a really young team, with nine freshmen and three sophomores, bu1 we've 1akcn two second places (t11e other second place wn.~ a1 1hc Utah Valley Tournamcni) in high<alibcr tournaments, which is gre"'1t for t11is time of year."

Over 1hc weekend, the Cards played eight games. winning live and losing 1hree. In Friday's matchups, the Lady Cards went undefeated, crushing Albensons College 15-9, 15-8. Columbia Basin Community College 15-8, IS-4 and Walla Walla Community College IS-7, 15-9.

In Sa1urday's games, NIC trampled Treasure Valley IS-I, 15-1 before losing 10 Community College of Spokanc15-12, 11-15, IS-8 nnd Colkge of Southern Idaho 15-7. 15-1 I. In the semi-linnls. NIC beat Community College of Spokane 15-3, 15-4, advancing to the lina.ls agnins1 Albcrtsons.

Even though 1he Cardinals nre progressing well, Taylor is always looking for 1hings his 1eam can improve on.

"I think we can always pass bencr nnd work on our blocks," Taylor said.

"They nre a fun bunch of girls 10 coach. They have high expectations and rca.ch for their goals."

Futuretellsall for crosscountry

by Rynn Bronson Sports Editor A plague runs through the 'NIC cross country 1cnrn this year. The plague is youth.

But in the world of spons, youth can always be transformed. Thus, the word "po1en1ial" comes 10 mind, and according to cross country coach Mike Bundy, 1hc young Cardinals have plenty of po1cntial.

"We only hove three rciumers this year," said Bundy, who is also 1he track coach at NIC. "ll's going to lake some time before I know exac1ly wha1 kind of team 1his is going 10 be " The Cardinals competed in 1hc Wl1i1man lnvitationlll last weekend in Walla Walla. Wash.

Jeromy Scheel led the NIC men in 1he 8.000 meters with a time of 29 minutes, 46 seconds. The 1ime was

only good enough to earn 1hc freshman 571h place.

Cheri Aeschliman. from Havre, Monl., played baske1ball for NIC the pas1 two seasons. She led the Cardinal women, running the 5,000-meler course in 21: 19. She placed 29th.

NlC had IO men runners and only four women runners in the meet, which was run in very windy, dusty conditions.

Bundy said that the majority of ibe athle1es need to make adjustments.

"Most of the guys only ran a threemile course las1 year, so gelling used 10 the longer distance will take some time," He said. "Even though the distance is the snrne for the girls, they stan a1 a much quicker p3cc thnn in hig~ school."

The Cnrds next meet will be Satu rday at the University of Idaho Invitational in Moscow.

THUDI -

Goa.ls, indeed. Many of the young Cardinals have realized 1heir po1ential wi1h 1he early success.

"Our goal is to make i1 10 nationals and go all 1he way," freshman and defensive specialis1 Kori Kr:lkcnberg said. "For being such a young 1earn, were doing pretty good. The game thn1 s1ands ou1 is

Spokane Falls where we worked togc1her and did a grca1job."

The C:udinals plnyed a1 home las1nigh1 ngains1 Ricks but results were unnvnilable by press lime.

NIC will see ac1ion 1his weekend nt the Spokane Community College Tournamen1.

The Cards, who finished 24-20 in 1993, hove six returning starters 01 various posi1ions, only losing Orsi 1>3$eman Terry McKaig and center fielder Jason Ailor. who has given up baseball and joined the Monrnnn Griuli~ football progmm. Ailor led 1he team in hiuing Inst year, baning .382. and McKaig was second at .376.

Although NIC loses its 1op two billers. four or NIC's re1umers hit .31 for bcuer Inst se~on.

The ou11ield returns Dnve Wayne and Tristan Fike. Wayne led the Cards in homeruns last season wilh seven and hil .319. Fike finished at .349 and was second with six homers.

The infield returners include second baseman Erik Williams. shor1Slop Jeremy Monds, third baseman Todd Mnrris and catcher Brinn Brndley. With 1he addition of 6-rooi-5. 240-pound Orsi baseman Jason Thorstcinson, who played this summer for the Expo~ in Ilic Rookie-class Gulr Const League, the Cardinals should Ocld a solid inner defonse.

NIC baseball coach Jack moxom said the Cardinals have plenty or depth in the infield.

"We're s1rongjus1 about everywhere," he said. "With exception of lho outfield. we hove 1wo people who cnn ploy 01 every position."

As if that wasn't enough, the Cardinals boast live returning pi1chcrs.

Jason Ford finished last season will1 a 6-3 record and led 1hc team with 52 strikeouts white carrying a 5.68 ERA. Shawn BWTington. who played 1his summer in Missouri before the Ooods came, wns 5-3 with 51 strikeouts and o 4.88 ERA.

Nate Church (4-2) and Kevin Barger (2-3) round out an experienced sinff that nccoun1ed for 19 of NIC's 24 wins Inst season.

According 10 Bloxom, though, the Cardinals have room for improvement on 1hc mound.

"One or our biggest problem~ last yc.,r IV3-\ thn1 we didn't have a closer," Blo(om said. "We ~Lill haven't really found one yc1."

Fony-six people showed up for tryouts when school began.

PARASAILING: The sky's the limit

by Dominlc llo\\onl Stnti11d Reporter "Up, up nnd away" was the chant on Lake Coeur d'Alene this summer a~ hundreds of courists and locnl advcnturim took to the air 10 see the city from a different view. That view being from a parosrul 4SO feet above the lake.

There was a mutual consensus of all the people who went.

"E,eryone should give it a uy," NIC student Jason Lommen said.

"I've been here for nine years and have ocver seen Coeur d'Alene from that view before," Mike Curry said. '111e experience was fancastic and it really wruces you up."

Sentinel photographer Erin Siemers gasped. "I'm going 10 die!" Thm message took mtaning when the boat opcrntors shook lbe line and scared her half 10 death.

People so.II at about 20 miles per hour. seeing the whole city once instead of just one or 1wo blocks.

"It was the most relaxing thing I' vc done in a long. long time. It was a great experience," Lommen said.

Lommcn said he slllJted 10 get a linle scared when the boat operators slowed the boat down and were sailing him along 3.5 feet above the water.

When tourist Sheldon Weinstein took 10 the air he was excited, however. his wife turned her head.

"It was the 'Tm going to be a widow," Mrs. Weinstein said as her husband was lifting off. most relaxing According 10 the operators. John Gallegos nnd Mitch Koss, an accident has never occured since the operation thing I've done began four years ago.

The original owners borrowed the idea in Hawaii and in a long, long thought that it would be a profitable business to have on La.kc Coeur d'Alene. especially during the tourist season. time. Everyone The new owners, Stan and Irene Parks, boughl the business should try it."

1wo years ago.

The operation cost $70.000 10 slllfl. After the ini1ial set up. the biggest expense has been insurance, which is a main reason Lhal the cost for the ride is elevated, according to Jason Lommen Irene Parks.

"The only problem with this business is that it's seasonal NIC student (May through September) and this year has been a terrible year," Parks snid.

The business operates seven days a week and runs on a time schedule that is very flexible and beneficial to its customers. h is located on the dock near Independence Point at the Coeur d'Alene Beach. The cost is oorrnally S40, but with a coupon (available on Page &). it's $2S for students.

Some soggy second thoughts concerning rainy weather...

Well. since I ended lus1 scmes1er "ith a crack aboul 1hc " ea1her, J found ii only suiung 10 begin this fnll wilh n linle eating of lhc cro" .

For~ of you who 11:'.id my column cn1i1lcd "Oon'1 Blnme i1 on I.he Rnin," m 1~1 spring's issue of 1hc Sentinel. I'm pn:'parcd 10 apologize for jin,ing lhe entire summer. If you didn'1 rend my column, }OU were probably "ondcring "'ho ordered nil I.he ram 1hi\ lasl summer.

II does seem. 1hough, tha1 !here has been n few sunny days. Of course, they have been during these firs1 couple "'eeks of school. l.sn'1that jus11ypical?

All righl everyone, I sllll admit I like the rain. bu1 I like h con.siderubly... make liin1 a hcckuv11lo1 less 1113n I did al the beginning of !his summer.

Actually. I lhlnk it would be snfc 10 say I won't be singing the praises of the elements for qui1e a while.

I lhink I finally begnn to come 10 my senses abou1 mid-July. Qui1e possibly when I slcppcd ou1 of my Toyota right in10 a foot-deep puddle of waler righ1 in the middle of driveway. (This wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been in Sunday church auire,) l11s just incredible how sopping wcl feet in cu1e. li11lc white Oats has the ability 10 change one's lhinking.

As if that didn'1 rub il in enough. I wnlked in10 the classroom and righ1 there on the 1able was an open copy or our last spring' issue. Guess what page was facing upward? I rest my case.

Okay. emybody, l lhink I have suffered enough for my actions. I'm sorry nbout all the rain 1his last summer. In fact, one of 1he only nice wcn1her c,r;periences was. gel this. when our staff traveled over 10 Seattle for a press conference. In case you y.,cre wopdenng.

The sa1elli1c program will be located in the Posl flllls Riverbcnd commerce Park. According 10 Ketchum, the college hos leased 6,400 square feet 10 begin custom training for Harpers Furniture. an office furniture manufocaurer relocating from California.

Classes will be given in conjuction with Spokane Community College District.

Those admitted 10 the program mus1be screened by both Harper's and Job Service of Nonh Idaho. Starting wages will range from $6.SO 10 $IO.SO per hour, according 10 Kathryn Tacke, labor markcl analyst for Job Service.

According 10 Ketchum, NIC works with the Panhandle Arca Council and Job Training Pannership Ac1 represen111tivcs 10 encourage new businesses 10 rcloca1e 10 North Idaho.

Ketchum said that the Workforce program offers the incentive of having employees trained when the manfacturcr moves his operation here.

Potlach Mining Corporation, Bank of America, First ln1crs111te Bank and School District 271 hove all hired gradua1cs of the program, Ketchum said.

"People reach a point where credits don't matter as much as a job itself. For lhcsc students the program provides more flexibility than lrllditional for crcdl t courses," Ketchum said.

Nwly 4,000 students were enrolled in workforce and communiiy edUC41ion during the the 1992-93 school year. Ketchum cautions that the classes should not be confused with vocational education, which is separate.

there all day. (No, thb i~ not nn c~aggcr~tion. TI1cnnoslllts were monirored this year. and 20 or more students occupy a room lhat is already 85 degr~ at 8 am, the temperatures increase drastically.)

As a faculty member who has "lived" on thcsc<:ond noor of Lee Hall for 13 years, I protest, again.

We arc told not to "whine." Someday these buildings will become a priority.

Someday.... But the years go by. lhe administmtive offices go through their SC(;ond and third remodels and someday never comes 10 Lee and IGldow Halls.

I understand lock of money. I understand fire hazards and terrible wiring. But I understand also lhat every time an administrator or a computer has to be cooled off, they have been, ond promptly. We give lip service to the mono !hat students are our first priority, yet the cnvironmenrol conditions on this campus belie this. II is, not "whining" when human beings complain about intolerable conditions, and any firstyear education major knows lhat learning does not take place effectively at 98 degrees. And this temperature is not for an hour or two for the faculty who teach in this building, it is for every hour of every day.

Today, a.~ the temperatures dropped, I was tremcd 10 an administrator's sarcasm as he said, "Hey, Fny, your room cool enough for you now? Can I get you a fanT' I swallowed it once again, smiled nnd ~aid, "Yes. It's great.just great. 1'11 takeall the fans you can give me."

Once again, my colleagues, our students, and I h3VI! survived the wori;t of the August heal, but it will be bock in April ond May. and so will we, with our fWlS, fevers, and fury. It 1Yon'1 go away: We need our jobs.

But maybe it's Lime Lhe students went away until they are treated with the same environmental regard thnt administrators create for themselves. Wiring can, and is, run exterior 10 walls; windOIYS can be mnde to open; tinting and awnings arc possible; even j~t lcning the ivy cover the windows until the hent passes would help.

We don't have to wait for the millions thnt don't come 10 remodel Lee Hnll: there arc small practical things 1J1a1 could help, but first !hose in power have to care. What does it tnkc to make one qunner of every school year matter 10 those IYho could do something about it?

Major conference held in Coeur d'Alene

by Dani Lewis Sentintl Rtporter

Director. actor and writer Ossie Davis is scheduled to be the main speaker at the founh International Human Rights Conference on Sn1urday. 0<:L 29.

Students may know Davis from bis performances in "School Daze," "Do The Right Thing" and "Jungle Fever."

He received a Neil Simon award as author of "For U~ The Living." rhe story of Medger Evers and an Emmy nomination for Daddy King in ''King."

Davis. who can also be seen co-starring with Burt Reynolds in Evening Shade, is a famous lecturer on Black history, civil rights and other topics. In 1989 be was inducted into ·1he Notional Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NMCP) Image Award Hall of Fame. In his keyno1e address in Coeur d' Alene.

Davis will discuss 1.hc struggle for human rights and the common thread faced by all groups who ore victims of discrimination.

This year's conference will focus on the topic "Empowering Women: Achieving Human Rights in the 21st Century." Joining Davis as principal conference speakers arc six members of the women· s movement.

Arvonne S. Fraser. recently appointed by President Bill Clinton as head of the US delegation to the United Notions Commission on the Status of Women and senior fellow and director of the International Women's Right~ Action Wa1ch.

Ado Deer, who is the head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the US Dcponment or the Interior, is the first woman chair of lhl! Menominee Tribe and a former senior

Jeciurer ot 1hc School of Socinl Work and American Indian Studies at the Uni\ersity of Wisconsin.

Christina Crawford, oc1ress. writer-producer, businesswoman, lecturer and author of four books, including "Mommie Dearest".

Dr. Rillllc Eisler, attorney, onthropologis1, international lcc1urer and author of The Cbalicc and the Blade, hailed by Princeton anthropologist Ashley Mon tagu as "the most imponan1 book since 'Darwin's Origin or ihe Species'".

Anne Finh Murray. n New Zealonder, is president or the Global Fund for Women, an organization dedicated to providing funds internationally for women's well-being, and Dr. Lisa Brown, professor of economics at Eastern Washington University, and n member of the Washington State House of Representatives.

These speakers will address Lhe right to freedom from violence, the right to economic security. lhe right 10 selfdetermination and the right to political action for women.

The conference will also offer 42 concurrent sessions involving 54 presenters over a three-day period. including such topics os sexual harassment, domestic violence, work and wage discrimination. grassroots feminism and many other topics.

In 1988. two groups of leading human rights scholars and activists developed a ten-year program of international conferences 10 be held around the world. The organizers were determined to develop a series or conferences 10 mn.ke the year 2000 the dawn of "A Human Rights Century."

For many of the more than 1.000 panicipants expected 10 attend the conference, its Coeur d' Alene location must seem almost OS in1eresting as the program. Each of three

previous locn1ions-New York, Berkeley, Calif., and Moscow. Russia-appear more logical venues for an in1ema1ionnl conference.

Those familiar with Coeur d' Alene's distinguished human rights record ore not surprised by the location, however. Coeur d' Alene is the only community ever to receive the Raoul Wallen berg Civic Award. The aword recognizes the significant nch.ievements of a local group, the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations.

The Task Force has become a no tional model or grassroots, community based effons to combat racism and religious intolerance and bas fostered the Northwest Coalition Against Malicious Harassment, a regionnl organization wilh a similar human righls agenda.

The drive to bring this, lhc fourth in a 1eo-yenr series of internationol conferences on human rights. to Coeur d'Alene began more than two years ogo. Credit for that success goes to conference co-chairs Riane Eisler and former Idaho Legislator Jeanie Givens, ns well as too large locol steering and planning committee.

The Conference will be hosted at two sites, the Coeur d' Alene Resort and the campus of Nonh Idaho College.

Speciol activities include an opening ceremony Friday. at noon, in the NIC Boswell Hall Auditorium. during which members of the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe will bless the conference and Pakistan poet, Abida Khnnum, will pNSent a reading 10 the delegates.

The registration fee for the conference will provide admission to any of the planned sessions, concurrent sessions and the art ex hibit. Attendance at the meals and the Saturday night banquet involve additional costs.
