Vice President Ryan Higgins said 1ha1 only 3% of the student body showed up to actually vote in the elections.

"I would like to see more people coming out to vote. More participation would require more representation," Higgins said.

Gee finds funding for computer labs

. photo by Erin Siemers David Carruthers Is learning the ins and outs of auto painting at NIC.

by JelT Jeske Senrinel Reporter The computer labs opened full time with the authorimtion to overspend the budget by $17,863, approved by Dr. Jerry Gee. dean of instruction.

Steve Ruppel. director of compu!cr services, presented Gee with a breakdown showing the neCCS$ily for 9,380 hours per year 10 keep the labs open on wha.1Ruppel considered normal opemting hours. LA~t years expenditures amounted 10 S38,762 of appropriated work-study funds 10 maintain this schl'tlule. The lab hours in LCC nnd Boswell Hall are 7 a.m. -IOp.m., Monday thru 'lnursday. 7 am.-6p.m.

Friday and 9 n.m.·5 p.m. Soturday.

A shonage of work-study money, in pan caused by a $23,107 reduction by the Joint Fino.nee and Appropriations Comminee (JFAC)in the ldnho Legislature and a SIO.OOOowr spend on last years NIC work-study budget, caused the shommed how-s the labs were open.

Gee said the money will come from different sources such as the contingency fund. temporary help funds or others.

Gee said that keeping the doors open is the first priority :Ind funding i~ the next.

Ruppel said he needs the s1uden1S 10 run his labs and nO!Tllally the lobs are open full-time by the third week of school. This year a memo from the Financial Aid office informed him that he had only S19,750 of work-srudy to spend all year. That represents nearly a 50 percent decrease from last year.

"Studen~ are the best teachers to help other

Mudents," Ruppel said. He added that past work-study students told him they had learned a grem den! by working in the labs and it is a cost efT.:ctive measure to hire students at $4.50-$4.75 per hour, rather than hire outside help at a much higher cost.

Ruppel said an early dcm:lnd was creiued by his department by "encouraging urly arrivals 10 use the lab." The innux of early arrivals 10 the lnbs coupled with the absence of funded work-study studentS crented a shorwge of computers and times available.

Ruppel said be was pleased with the perfonnancc of students working in the labs.

Rep. Gino White, House Appropriations Comminee, said a work-study request for $813.000 sunewide for all universities was whittled down to half-a.million dollars due to the budgetary rcsauints imposed by the Sl.016,000,000 SUlle budgeL A JFAC meeting earlier this year voted 2(}() to apptO\'C the c:ut, which resulted in a thrce"<!ighths reduction in the amount earmarked for work-study.

"The up side of the \'Ole," White said. "is that the half-million dollar appropriation will be an ongoing budgetary base item."

Previous to this liscal year, work-study money was a non,bascd budgetary item subject to many influences of the legislature. Although this does not ensure absolutely stable funding in tbe fu1ure for work-study money released by JFAC, "at least it's now a budgetary base item," White said.

"We felt half a loaf w:is better than none;• said White referring 10 the unanimous joint GOP and Democrat JFAC vote.

Trustees announce audit results

by Mark A. Jerome Stntintl Editor The recent annunl audit showed n S7 million increase in total revenues since 1986 as announced by the North Idaho College board of trustees during their first meeting of the new school year.

Toial revenues have risen from SIS million in 1986 to a current $22 million and according to Magnuson &. McHugh Accountant Stan Wood, the college is in good financial condition. ''That sounds like quite o bit of money," Wood said. "But it costs North Idaho College a total of $60,000 a day 10 hold clllSS."

In other business, Dean of Students Da,•id Lindsay announced hard figures for 1993 fall enrollment at NIC. uoflicial enrollment shows that 3,312 students arc in class," Lindsay said. 'These figures arc much more accuraic than in the past because of our new policy of paying tuition in the summer. S1uden1s take it more seriously when they lay their check down

ahead of time."

Also discussed were plans 10 add core classes such as math, English and speech 10 the vocational requirements for graduation.

"The college should be giving all it's students the best education possible," ViceChairman Norm Gissel said. "lf we give someone a certificate saying that they are a welder, and they don't have the basic skills to read, write, add, subtract, multiply and divide, then we aren't helping them."

The parking si tuation on campus was brieny discussed with the idea of using the soccer field as one future option for a parking nrco if NIC doesn't decide to build there. Fifteen new parking spaces have been opened up on the north end of campus since removal or a railroad loading dock.

Plans for the remodeling of the Student Union Building were also unveiled at the meeiing. The plan will make use or student funds to modify existing building space and odd an atrium eating area with tables and chairs jus1 south of the current eating area.

The area will expand out to the sidewalk.

The remodeling of the kitchen was a priority in the new remodeling plons. The current kitchen area was built in 1960 for a student population of 460.

The 6asement of the SUB wlll also be remodeled in port due to the efforts of Campus Activities Director Dean Bennett, who last year did a survey on what s1udents would like to hove on campus. The result wi ll be a food court offering a variety of products. The food court will operate on a debi t card system where students will purchase food cards and have the amount subtracted from their card when they exit wi1h their food.

In the t'inal act of business the board renewed its pledge to work in a co-operative effort with the Art On The Green committee to ensure the annual event is held here on campus. Ari On The Green Committee Chairman Dr. David Gerber presented the trustees with a framed photograph or the new stogc lit up at night during one of this years concerts. Next years Art On The Green will be Aug. S, 6 and 7.

Opinion-Editorial

Recycle

or die!

The North Idaho College Sentinel

Let's eliminate the middle man I've come to a conclusion about higher educa!ion und job skills in our society today. Everyone rans into one of three cotegones. ( IJ Ski/ltd labor - people who actually possess n skill that can honestly benefit society in some way and make anywhere from a decent living to a good living ~ - -~ ~ ~.....,- like doctors, nurses, teachers, journalists. bakers, machinists, mechani<:$ etc...

(2) Unskllled labor -

folks who work honest and hard for n living, but don't make the big bucks like Fast Food employees. Hagadone employees. paper carriers, dishwashers etc...

(JJ Predatory slick - ¡--talking labor - people with no concrete ski tis olher lhnn the ability to spot an easy opportunity and blow smoke up your ass. 111ey tell you Opinion whatever you wont to hear and they can make extremely good money but rarely deserve it like car salesman, financial planners (slick term for insurance salesman), real estate people, lawyers. most politicians and door to door anything so.lesman; well, you get lhe idea.

Of course not 100 percent or the people in these occupations fall into t.hese categories. There is always an exception to lhe rule, but very fow.

Most of the people's jobs in lhe lhird category are predicated on taking advantage of people in need of something.

Why should l pay some cheesy guy in polyester. who's go in g 10 lie to me anyway, hundreds or thousands of dollars, dcpcndin~ on what make and model, so that I can have the privilege of purchasing an automobi le. Car salesman arc nothing more than unnecessary middle men !hat are given an opportunity to sec how much money they can make before we're allowed to leave with a co.r.

Did he work hard to graduate with a degree in bullshit or what. l' m sure Deception IO I is a required course for the old BS degree and that doesn't mean bachelor of science.

Another one of my favorite occupations are the financial planners. ahem. I mean insurance salesman.

Sure !hey will help you plan your finances and they'll find a spot to put every l~t dime you have.

Some of these guys are running around scaring elderl y folks out of their hard -earned money nn d literallr making 40 to 50 percent commissions while doing ll and then smiling all the way to the bank. I know of insurance guys making over six fi$urcs a year.

What a joke; for what! Le1ting us buy their insurance.

No wonder the health care system in America is in such deep trouble. Hopefully President Clinton¡ s new hcallh care plan will help regulate some of these bozos who would otherwise have a hard time geuing at job at KMan. . Something needs to be done to get rid of these slimy middle men, but what can the general public do? I guess you could try and call straight to Detroit and inquire about pureha.sing a car, but those are brand new cars and most of us aren' t in the new car market. . Until .people refuse to put up with it anymore or lhe 10.dustnes the"!selves dec ide 10 get rid of the middlemen, there s not many other options.

This is only Gee's second year :u North Idaho College after 5pending the lllSt 15 years as the os:.istont dean of instruction at Dodge City Community College in Dodge City, Kan. According to Gee it wasn't a difficult decision to make.

Contingency funds arc available for just such an emergency; and it was only a matter of identifying the problem and realizing that the students shouldn' t have to pay for others mistakes, II sounds simple enough, but without a dean of instruction 1h01 is in touch with the needs oflhe students and sensitive 10 lhe problems they face, there could have been a situation where students were just out of luck. He is obviously not only doing his job, but doing it well.

The new computer schedule is as follows. Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. 10 10 p.m.. Fridays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sa1urdays 9 a.m. 10 5 p.m. The labs are cum:ntly closed on

Sundays, but the possibility still remains lhnt they could open them up in the future.

The big problem is 1h01 overall funding for the college work study program was cut this year. First of oll. approximately SI0.000 was used from the 1993-94 funds to help pay student.sin the 1992-93 school year. Secondly, the Idaho State Legislature reduced the Idaho Work Study Funding by $20.000. This is a total decrease or S30.000 in lhe College Work Study programs for this year.

TI1e stale reducing its funds to NIC mllkes no sense at o.11 especially with enrollment up 10 percent and o bigger need for work study than ever. Whnt are needy studcnlS supposed 10 do? Write their congressman?

The problem began last year when one of the financial aid people dispersed more work study funds lhan she should have. Consequently her employment contract was not renewed for this year. Since they were shon on work study money for lhe current school year, because of last year's mislake, the decision was made to make up for ir this year.

This meant lhot !here were no funds for computer lab aides.

The aides basically run the labs, allowing them to stay open during a variety of hours.

II seems a bit odd that any one person should be completely and solely responsible for a huge amount of work study funds or any amount of funds for that matter. It's kind of like the Oli vcr North syndrome.

Bottom line is lhat NIC has a great and caring financial aid staff and deans that wants 10 help students any way lhey can.

Even after rrtistakes were uncovered, they were rectified so students wouldn't be the ones 10 be at a loss.

Le tters/ Opinion

Do athletes get preferential treatment?

Editor: We are writing in regard to the article "Athletes, technical students register lirst." We would like to plea to the registrar's office and the administration to help alleviate our confusion.

First of all, we know that technical students need cenain classes at cenain times because of the highly structured nature or their programs.

Many of these require that classes be taken together during a specific semester, so these studenis must register first .

What we don't under.;tand is why athletes need to register ahead of the general student body. We know that their schedules must be arranged around o practice schedule, but what about those of us who work 30 to 40 hours a week and must schedule around work hours? Will we be allowed to register early if we hove a letter and a set schedule from our employer?

We also realize that athletes represent NIC. But ore the non-athletic studentS being forgotten here as well? Don't we represent NIC too? Don't the members of Phi Theta Koppa (honor society) and Delta Epsilon Chi (busi~ess studenis) also work hard to improve NlC's reputation in the community? What about student government members? Do ASNIC representatives get these privileges?

Weare also confused by the statement " ...they must be able to obtain a degree within two years in order to transfer to a four-year univer.;ity."

Don't other students who are depending on scholarships to continue their education need to

graduate in two years also?

Are studenlS who need academic scholarships less imponant than students who need athletic scholarships? Karen Streeter, according to this article. said that there was a special meeting where it was decided tha1 athletes would have "first choice at the classes." Who attended this meeting? Was the student body infonned of this meeting?

We have also heard from numerous sources that the athletic department loans books 10 team members for use during the semester. Is there any justilication for this? We can' t seem to imagine any. The cost of books for one seme.\ter can run up to S250. Why is everyone on campus responsible for coming up with this money except for athletes?

We don't feel that we have a right to complain because we don't know the whole story. Let us also say that we're not objecting to spons, as this is very imponant to many people and to the feeling of community on any campus.

Perhaps when our questions are answered we'll see that policy is truly a wise one.

However, based on our limited knowledge or this subject, we feel this policy is condemning those of us who choose to concentrnte on our grade.~. jobs and families instead of spons.

Tattoos - sexy body adornment or desecration You have a talloo! Yuk, only bikers are supposed to have l0ll00S...

Well, call me a baker-mama then. I think tattoos are o.k.

Now, this doesn't mean that I'm going 10 go and get a huge gargoyle or a likeness of Elvis carved onto my posterior or anything. I just simply think that getting a 101100 is not a crime.

Why is it the majority of the public think 1anoos are gross and untasteful? If people who put wnoos are on their bodies are untastcful, what about all those critical people who wear their style of clothing and !ix their hair in their own taste. It's merely a per.;onal expression or the wearer.

The only difference is that when Rachel W.lhns 1h01 person goes home at night, they Opnon con nctunlly take off their out lit or get their hair cut. Tattoos are pennancnt, of course. Meaning only thnt the people wanting to get one should probably really think the whole thing over 10 make sure they really want to do it. Taking into con\idemtion whelher or not the tattoo will ever be visible, who will see it and most imponnnt of all what will It look like in the future. lley, 10 years down the road are you going to want "I love Regina'' lllttooed across your butt? Especially if Regino is the table dancer at Dcjo Vu? Hopefully not.

Society over the years has delinitely changed its course about what is acccpttd and what is not. It used to be that people associated with tattoos were basically big, shaggy. long-haired guys straddling Harleys. Even then, their "body an" consisted mainly of lierce animals, gang symbols. names of women. menacing skulls, gian1 frosty mugs of beer and 1he like.

Now, we find the most delicotc rosc5 and wildlife on the ankles and chests of professional women. Walking into a professional studio would yield choices like you wouldn't believe. If you like cartoons, political ligurcs or religious symbols, anything is available. One option is to design your own.

I've talked to friends and acquaintances about their views on tanooing. Expressing my approval. actually, my lack of disapproval has spurred many different reactions. Mostly negative.

I've heard everything from "Why would you want to pennanent.ly scar your body?" to "But it's so dangerous with all those diny litlle needles and everything." As for permanently scarring my body, at least it would be a lot more anractivc that a scar if done in taste and if you know a safe tattoo s1udio (not meaning your friend's sewing needle, a lighter and a bottle of India Ink), there is no danger. Oh! I did forget to mention that you can't Sil out in the hot sun for a couple of weeks or the new uutoo will supposedly swell. So what? 1ne same thing would happen if the wisdom teeth were pulled.

My point is, why condemn someone who has a tattoo?

Af1er all, under the skin, there is an actual person who got that panicular tattoo for a reason. Whatever reason that may be, don't you thtnk it would be better to find out abou t that person instead of making your j udgment based on what's on 1heir body?

l~OSE OVER.-RipE ANd ROTTEN

ChokEch ERRi Es Cherries are a perishable item

by J.A. Jesk!' with a llllle help from my f,ieods

a While checking ou1 lhe feeding frenzy ot thc SUB Thursday, l noticed lhe speciill of the day was ··Beast Str0ganoff." Dcsigna1cd head-cook for 1he day. by her fellow co-workess. Arlene Trueblood apparently wanted 10 spice up the vic1uills. f cnn'1 help but be reminded oboul the local me:11-cuner who ran afoul of lhe law for a similar cost-culling measure. Assuming t.ha1 blood is true, I'm compelled to ask wha1 kind of rood-kill did you staSh in 1hc hash? Relax, ii was lean cuisine and most likely low-fat.

• DATELINE: Saturday, Sept. 18, The Coeur d'Alene Resort. Sevcml members of lhe Sentinel sui.ff attended the Idaho Press Club's Fall Conference on ethics in journalism, which featured several local joumalisis and a TV reporter.

Among !he paneliru speaking was Channel 4 reporter Kerry Tomlinson.

Kerry works at the North Idaho Bureau in the Old City Holl building.

While sitting behind her during ihe ancmoon session. I noticed under her chair a copy of the Coeur d'Alene Press, with R. Givens stenciled across the 1op in prominent black grease pencil lettering. Ray Givens is one-third of the prominent North ldoho low nm1 of Givens, Funke & Work, with offices in the same building. When I asked her why an "ethical" reporter such as herself would snitch a paper, especially from an auomey, her jaw dropped, her face went pale and she begged for mercy. She blustered 1h01 "really she hadn't done this on purpose. she'd take it righ1 back and was I really going 10 write this up in 1he CHOKES?'' Yup! Kerry If you had been reading the Sentinel, as nny good reporter 5hould. you'd know that we never miss a beal. n choke or nn excuse to "gc1 someone." Ask the SIJff, faculty or joni1ors around here! And hey what did you do with that p;iper anyway? I'll be checking with Ray, ... just in case!

photo by Erin Siemers This NIC staff car, parked on Iha sldawalk behind Iha Sharman Building, is further evidence of the parking dilemma on campus. Apparently the staff doesn't have to follow the same rules as everyone else on campus.

• On this one I must cry fou l. Anyone around last year would know that parl..mg spot was always the extreme soutl1west stall b.ihind t11e library. A5 well they would know I pnrked a few pi1s concerning parking issues in this column.

Well. U1is year 1hat spot is con1inuously occupied by his and her ponublejohns. I'm not sure if Lhi.\ is just one of life's occasional pitS in a cherry or should I dig in10 this pie a linle deeper? Ah, from a safe distance though.

• Monday last the lights on campus Olckcrcd and died for nbout an hour.

Cash trunsnctions at the SUB were reduced 10 paper and pencil, focuhy and students in Lee and Kildow hardly noticed the air-conditioning shut down (Ha Ha) and only one s1uden1remarked 1hlll it was a "dc-vohing situation."

Ah. no, Lanny Stein, director of Auxiliary Services, assured me the bill hod been paid.

• Our hals ofT to those groundskeepers who do such a great job. The other day while trying 10 hear an oral quiz in the newswri1ing class our quiz-master was drowned ou1 by U1c whirring claucr of NIC's "Eddie Scissorhands" mowing the gross next to 1he building. It was 1ough to sec the grass needed mowing, let alone how 10 tell wha1 had ju~t been mowed, yet on he circled in orderly fashion.

That was l: 10 p.m.

At 2: 10 p.m., we found we were not alone in our amazement whc:n o second "Eddie" began 10 mow. THE SAME PATCH! Boy. if once is good, then must twice be beucr?

• The lll'dluod BuUding dilemma continues as it is still unu..cable. It's almost sadly c?mical thal lhe Culinary Ans restaurant may be loca1ed upstairs from the no1onous fume producers.

While the l?pic is ~uildings, a faculty reader commented that nny planned bu1ldm~ needs windows in each room, offices as well as clnssrooms.

'Band in Blue' swings into Boswell Hall

by Mark Aoroo Perry Seminel Reporter America's Band in Blue, one of the few professional bands in this country. will blow their horns a1 a free concert Oc1. 11, in the N!C oudilorium.

The band, which performs more than 500 productions annually, is co-sponsored by The Coeur d'Alene Press and the NTC Music Department.

Origino.lly known as the United Stales Air Force Band of the Golden Ga1e. ii was transferred 10 Travis Air Force Bnse in Fairfield. Calif., where the name was chn.ngcd in reference 10 1he color of their uniforms. The 45-mcmber squadron has reached millions of listener.; and is one of this country's premier musical orgnniz.ations. They have had several special performances including the opening ceremonies nt lhe '89 Winier Olympics.

Most of the credit for their NlC appearance goes 10 music instructor Todd Snyder. who is friends wilh lhc bond's conduc1or. Caplllin Philip Chevallard. They wcn1 to school 1ogether at the Univcfliily o(lowa.

• "Even back then I had a very high cs1cem for his work as n conduc1or," Snyder said.

'The Second City' to visit the Lake City

by Raebel WIiiiams Instant C1d111rt Editor Pic1urc a 1ypical male siuing on n couch wa1ching n foo1ball gome. A pass is dropped by one of 1hc receivers of 1he 1eam he's roo1ing for 10 win. The man jumps up and shou1s some1hing 10 1he effecl of, "I can'I believe you dropped 1ha1 pass! My dead grandmo1her could've caughl Lha1!"

Poof! lns1an1ly, a scene is sci before him. The same foo1ball play only wilh his grandmo1her in place of 1he receiver. Will she ca1ch 1he ball? There's only one way 10 find ou1.

"The Second Ci1y" na1ional comedy 1ouring company will visi1 Nonh Idaho College Sa1urday Ocl. 9. The group has been en1enaining nil over 1he Uni1ed Su11es and Canada for over 1hree decades. The Second Cily is initially six or seven ac1ors who do a varie1y of comedy ske1ches wi1h minimal props on a vinually emply slage.

The Second Ci1y comedy club opened in Chicago Dec. 16, 1959, in a shunered Chinese laundry. The club and 1he ac1ors' success was immedia1e and 1he pince was full every nigh1.

Soon. 1hc ,lClors rcpu1u1ion spread. The Second City company firs1 opened in New York in 1961 al 1he Royale Theaire, direc1ed by Paul Sills. Numerous 1ours followed and by '63 1he groups were louring in Cnnndu.

By 1967, Lhcre was such a grea1 demand for 1he performances of The Second Ci1y 1h011he group formed a specialized Touring Company. Now, five 1ouring companies cover lhe Uni1ed S1a1es and Canada during the en1ire year.

Actors from The Second Ci1y's pas1 include big nnmes such os Dnn Akroyd, John

Belushi, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Murrny and Manin Shon. Curren! Second Ci1y ac1or Mark Dnlbis said he saw 1he group perform while he was in high school and knew he wanted 10 join. When Dal bis was 17, he 100k a class from The Second Cily 1ha1 is offered for high school s1udcn1s. Dalbis said he'd always wan1ed 10 be on ac1or so The Second Ci1y opponunity was pcrfcc1 for him. Dalbis is now 24 and s1ill Slicking wi1h The Second Ci1y.

According 10 Dalbis. 1he group will be performing qui1e a bi1 of political and social satire, along wilh several improvs. They wri1e their own scenes. Dal bis said, wi1h some help from 30 years' wonh of The Second Ci1y archives.

Dalbis said he loves acting, bu1 he really enjoys 1rnvelling 10 1he different places.

"Personally, I love hole I rooms," Dal bis said.

Mos1 ly because of 1he free towels and soap. (He's kidding, of course.)

Mos1 of The Second Ci1y nttors were born in Chicago. Dalbis said he's never been 10 Nonh Idaho before and 'he's looking forward to ii.

The Second Cily is primarily known for being a leader in improvisa1ional comedy and n starting pince for many ex1remely successful ac1ors and comedians.

Dnlbis said he's going "10 be here (The Second Ci1y) 'till I die."

Ac1ually, only o couple more years. He has hopes. like many of his cocomedians, of moving on 10 shows such as S01urdny Nigh1 Live or possibly 1he movies.

The show s1ar1s at 8 p.m.. Ticke1s are $7 for NIC srudcn1s, S9 for 1he general public and ovnilablc a11he NIC Box Office.

Emotional, humorous ... mocking!

by Selh Sie1•enpipcr Stntinel Reporter I've had good luck la1ely because I've only been reviewing movies 1ha1 I have liked. "To Kill u Mockingbird" is ccnainly no exception.

This 1962 black-nnd-while flick is based on 1he book of 1hc same name by Harper Lee. I read lhc book in high school, so I checked our 1he video, hoping iL was 1he same caliber as 1he book. I wasn·1 disnppo1n1ed.

Sure, 1hcrc are son1e changes.

Dul on lhe whole, lhe s1ory of childhood in 1he depression-era South is in1ac1. This is 1he s1ory of lhe Finch f:lllJily.

AlliC!us, Lhe widowed f:11her, is n benevolen1 and generous anomey.

Gregory Peck won an Academy Award for his s1irring ponrai1 of 1his nrden1 man. "Seoul" is 1he nickname for Jean Louise, 1he daugh1cr. She is poruayed by Mary Oadham. Do you remember tha1 name from 01her movies? I don't Al lhc s1an of lhe year-and-a-half s1ory, which is seen lhrough her perspective, she is 6 years old. Her brolher, Jem (Phillip Alford), is 10. You may remember a mid-1980s canoon called Jem. This isn'11he same person.

The Finch's neighbors arc a group of diverse and in1ercs1ing people. Mos1imponan1ly, we·have the Radleys, lhe neighborhood OUICllSIS.

Seoul and Jcm spend a grea1 deal of time harassing these poor

people. Their son, called "Boo" by 1he Finch children, is an imrovened young man who is purponedly a horrific mcn1nl case who ea1s squirrels and s1nbs people wi1h scissors. Bui how would anyone knows? No one hns actually seen him.

01her neighbors include a biller old woman, whose frigh1ening cackling reminds me of the bad wi1ch in ''The Wizard of Oz," and "Dill," n shon lad who came summers 10 s1ay with his Aunl Stephanie. He proudly boasted, "I'm linle, but I'm old.• The most controversial pan of 1he s1ory revolves around Auicus Finch being 1he defense anomey 10 an accused rapist. As if 1ha1 wasn'11rouble enough in lhe 1930s, the fact lha1 i1 was a black man accused of raping a while woman should be.

Anicus receives misery 10 no end for his decision 10 defend Tom Robinson, lhe accused rapis1. fairly and 10 lhe besl of his abili1y.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is lhe kind of movie thal makes you lhink.

II solicilS a wide ,1nrie1y of emotions. You chuckle over lhe amusing childhood anllcs of Scou1, Jem and Dill; you feel amazed

by Gregory Peck's poignan1 counroom monologue. Fear rushes 1hrough you ns lhe children arc anackcd on a dark nigh1, and lhc viewer feels heanbreak and compassion over lhe lns1 brooding minu1es of lhe film .

I checked lhis moi\'e ou1 from the NIC library, bu1 i1 can be renied from mosl video s1ores. For !hose of you who didn'I know 1ha1 we had videos in the library. ask a librarian or assis1an1 and they will show you where lhey are. h's LrUly one of1he grca1 films ofilS Lime, and I urge you 10 see ii. Also. the book is available in 1he library. You migh1wan110 check ou1 (excuse the pun) this classic for yourself.

Royball kicks out the jams at music fest

by Mark A. Jrrome Smtint1l Editor Despite a sparse crowd and :ool 11'C.l~cr the North Idaho College Music f est came orr without a hitch ltl.St weekend at Fon Shennan Park.

House of Hoi Polloi. ~oyball and The Paperboys all delivered rousing sets ~orthy of praise.

Boise's House of Hoi Polloi opened the show with its unique rcggoclfunk sound fe31uring Steve Fulton (guitar/vocals). Steve Wall (drums/vocals), Russ Pfeifer (keyboard.I/vocals) and Cmig Tate (bass).

The best word to describe Ho1 Polloi is tight. Wall and Tate's rhythm section wasjammin' and only ove1Shadowed

by Pfcifcr's s110ng vocals nnd extreme electric funk keyboard sound reminiscent of Greatful Dead showi; I' ve seen.

They did 8 good job blending their reggae tunes with the funkier numbers. but Ille funk/blues sound is definitely their forte', which was obvious in their scorching remake of Sly Stone's "Just want to thank you for letting me be myself', oh ya.

Local favorites ''Royb:ill" took the stage next, bringing the crowd 10 its feet with its exclamation "We take steroids and ride motorcycles." Bassist Dave TerHark, gu1tnrist Carlos Lanze and percussionist Chris Pfeiffer showed an excl!llent sense of rhythm and dynamics.

This power trio, with o touch of Ru~h innuencc, showed great control over their instruments from the get-go. 'Inc

band would be noating along with their surreal and dreamy ~ ~ sound. then completely get it as they burst into a barrage of headbanging riffs. Roybal! wns without n doubt the highlight of the evening.

The Paperboys. from Vancouver, were the final act of The Fest and probably the most intere5ting. The Paperboys futurcd Tom Landa-McAuliffe (mandolin/guitars), Jeremy Hughes (keyboards/accordion), Chris Jonat (bass), David Plenkovich (percussion) and Kevin Ball (bagpipes/fiddle).

The Paperboys made great use of some traditional instruments. such as bagpipes and an accordion. in some non-iroditional style music. It was interesting seeing this different instrumcntnLion lineup doing songs like "Stuck in the Mosh Pit." Picture this. A guy totally dressed in camounagc with a black beret playing bagpipes. He looked like a lost IRA member, but he played great. Much of the credit for this band goes to Jonal and Plcnkovich for keeping a consistent straight ahead rock•n-roll rhythm during songs which otherwise would have sounded like the Irish Rovers on drugs. Joking aside, these guys were really good and the crowd reaction proved it.

The only negative pan of the night was the lack of people to play for. These very talented bands deserved much more than the handful of people that gathered to listen.

The ancndance did climb 10 about 200 by the end of the night but most of them missed the first two bands. With so much going on in town, like the Greek Cruises and Cd' A Invitational Cross-country meet, ASNIC really dropped the photo by Mark A. Jerome ball by not doing some real odvenising.

Roybal/ guitarist Carlos Lan.ea strikes a Pose as This could have and should have been a well anended, percussionist Chris Pfeiffer holds the rhythm section major mu~ic fest, especially since it was a free conccn. together.

Maybe next y= ASN1C will do it right.

Former soap star, singer receives rave review b) J u\tln Smith Ncwr£ditor

Some pcorlc are good performers, and others are meant to pcrfonn The Gloria U'lring concert 1,n Sund.1y, Sept. 26 wa~ lxlth an e,pericncc in mu~k undo 1.:s~n in life.

The concrn was originally sch~-duled to t;ike place in Bo~wdl !fall uudimrium, hut wa\ moved to the ~horc lounp.e of the Coeur d'Alene Rcson.

Several ,,r the 011101cur performer~ were good. Most of them wtrc cntcnuimng to watch. and o couple even pirled cla»ic country tun~ that O!C alway~ a plea~ure to hc;ir again, :.uch as the rendition "I Go Out W11lking After Midnight." Unfortunately. the whole affair wu emceed by II very annoying gtntleman who continually tried to steal the show from the perfouners, aod the competition, which was meant to be a friendly event, but was tainted by II few people son: about the outco111t of the contest.

None of that manered afttr Loring took the stage, however. After she stepped up and asked the lighting technician lo soften the 5potlight jusc a liUle the entire audience staned to rtlu. She was the mason they were~. afttr all. Wearing a ,imple black 1own, ud accompanied only by a pianist for mosc or her son1s, Loring prowd lhat a good perfonner can carry I show almost anywbm.

In fort, 1he rJttli.; of ice in glns,;e~ Md the woitre:,~\ moving through the c-rowded room only ndded 10 the intimate feeling that i~ so neci:~ary for the rull l'ff.xt of Loring's style to Ix> appreciated. Appreciated it was. u.., Loring stepped scamlc~~ly from tune to tune members of the .iudiC"nce c.,uld be sel!n leaning back in their ~LS ond n:la-cing About halfway lhrouihout the p,!rfomtance, Loring com111witcd thnt ,he was getting dry. oud n couple mt>mbers of thl' audicnc,: offered her tht'ir drink,;.

I cannot complain about Lorin&"s (X'rfom1ll.J1cc either. In .bl' twecn song~ she ~pvJ..c with the audience about the dcv<.'lopmcnt of h<!r music and career. She told 3 couplt humorou~ 1111ccdotes obout how peoph: reacted tt> her after she started perfom1ing on "Dnys of Our Live-\" as the character Ll1. Loring admlued that ~he CO-<"omposcd Ilk: theme songs to "The Facts of LirC'" Md "Difl'rent Strokes", and explained how variOU!> p,!rformers hov<" affectcJ her style.

If anyone in the audienct had any doub1s as to Lonng's validity as a singer/songwriter, they wen: di~ipotcd by Ille tremendou~ range of Mings that oppcaud throughout the night.

The uodoubulble peak of the show was at th.: end however, whtn Loring performtd 11 medley of old ro.:k nud roll tunes.

My only complaint aoout l~ c:ntire performance is that l(lring did not perform mon: of her beuer known son!!s. Whto I go to a concert. I pay for what I think will be there. In fact. the only wcll l:nown song of Lorings that made it into the program that night w& "Friends and Loven."

Overall, I think that the real winners in this combined contest/c:onctrt event were those in the oudience. It is not often that a pcrfonnc:r of this Clliber ecruaily comes to Co,:ur d'Alene In a working function. and it Is even less often that the aunosphere of the event c:omplimenra 1bc PfOl"lffl so wen.

To make the event even beuer.Loring donared her fee for pmormiq 10 the Lake Ciry Playhouse. If Loring ever comet into town again, I'll be In line for the best tickets.

Kendra's 111m: My analysis of "Stril<ing Distance" is not quite as severe as my panners'. Perhaps it is due 10 the fact that it doesn't take much to entcnain or amuse me, or maybe my love for the Big Screen mnkes me more open to flicks.

Bruce Willis plays Tom Hardy. a fifth generation cop on the police force in Philadelphia.

When the moYie opens, the fact that· Bruce Willis has testified against his partner/cousin is revealed. But that is about oll that is smted on the subject. Then: is biuemcss from every single cop on the force, with the exception of his family (as John poinied out, most of his family is on the force.) Now, I find that n liule far-fetched.

I understand cops stand up for each other. but I have trouble believing every cop would give him the cold shoulder or whisper behind their palms about his disloyalty. Personally. I felt sorry for him. which was the in1en1. Hardy seems 10 not care one way or the other. He is too involved in solving the mystery of1he serial killer. who has been killing young. fair-haired. fair-skinned women.

Convinced that the serial killer is n cop. Ilardy makes eYen fewer friends on (he force. which adds to his plight. Although the police huve found a suspec1. with n witness. he is cenain that there is o cop involved. Dy voicing his suspicions. he loses his badge and ends up with the job on the river. Thus, we hove fast-forwarded 1wo years later.

Now Hardy is drowning his sorrows in the bottle and is not n friendly person. but, you have to like him. After all he is a typical movie cop: a wi~ guy. Anyway. he is assigned a new panner, Jo Christman (Sarah Jessica Parker) who is. !IS swted in the movie, "not what you expect." As Christman, Parker is not convincing. In many scenes where emotion from the character is extremely imponanl there is no reality from Parker.

Nol surprising. the killings strut up again. Only 1he method ond motive arc differcnl. Not only that, bu1 a new bunch of females are t:vgeted: the women of Hardy, past and not quite past.

The serial killer is now rnunting Hardy by placing the bodies in the river where he can find them. Thal is already obvious to the viewer. , I have 10 say thai the action in the film wns fnir. 111e humor. though very dry. was nmusing to me. Still, thi~ is not a movie I would highly rccomnwnd. The plot is buried. I.he characters have no in-depth likability imd the only bclievnblc charoctcr i~ the serial killer. Suffice to say.

"Striking Distnnce" was mildly cntcnmning. bu1 don't expect it to hen "tidal wave".

"My c~pecuuions for this team hove far surpassed what they were 01the beginning of 1he season," Taylor said.

Basketball team better players than arguers Aboul a monlh ago. I walked in10 the gym here 01 NlC to gel a po1en1ial look al 1he always tJtciling Cardinal mens' baskc1ball team, What I snw surprised me-in more ways tl1an one.

The fir.111hing I no1iced was the numerous new faces on the court.

The basketball teain has rcpresen1a1ives from reportedly six diffcrcnl counlries this year. In seeing so many new faces. I wn_~ lhen:fore in1eresu:d in wha1 the new guys could do-a1hletically.

1never hove been n grcn1 judge of baskctball 1alcn1. but from the very beginning it was evidenl lhat the team was exccp1ionnlly quick, defensively and offensively. Steals. dunk.~. assists. blocks and energy nowed tluoughou1.

And !hen. a foul. Or was it?

An argument CJttended itself somewhere in10 five minutes of "You know you fouled · me• and "No. no, no, no, no. That wns all ball" Argumenis break ou1 often in the gnr11c of basketball-it's pan of lhe game. Once 1hc players here decided thal ii really didn't mauer who go1 the ball, as long as they could ge1on with the game, a decision was implemented.

Just as the ball was about 10 be checked into play, the point guard at the time gave the score. •9.1: hcsi1id. And then. another discontentment "No, no. no, no, no. h's 8-7."

Somewhere in the middle oflha1 disngreement, I left.

A week ago. I returned to the gym to see if the players were inn bcuer mood.

No such luck.

The same guys were on tl1e court. nod they were doing the same thing. , Countl~s qunrrels broke out left and right. On this day, there were onlt_lO players running the noor, although there 1vere four others (two or wliich played on lost year's team) watching nod shooting around lhc court but not wonting to play.

With only 10 players. if one of the players didn't get his way. he just threatened to walk out, and with no subs around, he usually would get the call.

Eventually, two of lhe players nirtcd with o fist fight that was prevcmc~ by a few of thc'biggcr players.

As I left the gym. I overheard one of the players say. "If we can't learn 10 play together, we might as well nil go back where we came from."

The reason lhe argumcntS surprised me is that the few experiences I've had with the members of the team, off the court, have been positive.

A returning anonymou.~ player told me !hat once coach Rolly Williams takes over the team for practices, arguments will probably not exist.

• Ht's Barry Bonds and you're not-Barry Bonds, with his presence and effonlcss blasts, is, 10 say the least, an asset to lhe go.me or professional baseball and deserves notification.

As of Sept. 28. Bonds. an outfielder for the San Francisco GinntS, is sixlh in the National League in hits (178). lhird in baning average 111 .341, second in runs (123). tied for the lead in RBIs (1 15) and first in homeruns with 44.

Wilh numbers like that, along with the fact that he has his team in a pennant race wllh Atlanta. Bonds is a cinch for the NL Most Valuable Player.

How "valuable" Is Bonds? Those who follow lhe Giants, or baseball in general, can tell you that when Bonds is doing weJI. the Giants win, and when Bonds struggles, so do the Giants. It doesn'1 take a genius to figure out what Bonds means to San Francisco.

Paimball competition is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. The combination of physical conditioning and the ability to tl1ink quickly under combat conditions lends to an all-around activity that will keep you off the couch.

Paintball competition has been equaled 10 as a live video game or adult laser 1ag 1h01 is played on a sixacre course full of pine trees and brush. The game ha.~ rules of engagement and various versions that can be played, depending on the number of players. The games nre officiaied, and safely is sLCcsscd at every level. If you break tl1e safety rules, the penalties range from time off 1he lield 10 being asked to leave the facility.

Kun Branham, one of the Owners of Aktion Zone. discussed some of the riner poin ts of paintball competition. He has been into the spon for several years and is promoting paintball games in the Panhandle.

'The rush you get when you are in the lield under lire is something you have to experience." Ornnhnm said. " It is excitement nnd therapy all rolled into one.

A variety of pnintball guns are avai lable, including n small 25-s hot pistol and a semiautomatic riOe that spews ou1 400 balls as fast as you can pull the lrigger. Safety gear includes gloves, raceshlelds and optional body armor for non-Rambo types. Dark clothing is recommended and preferably nothing that has monetary or sen1imentnl value.

The water-based painl is contained in a gelatin ball the size of a small jawbreaker, abou1 1/2 inch in diameter. The balls travel al a regulated speed of 280 feet per second ond do have a 1endency 10 sting.

The range is approximately 30 yards with accuracy.

The balls come in several colors.

"The black and green arc the most popular as they can' t be seen coming at you," Branham said.

"The white ones ac1 like tracers so you can see where you are shooli ng."

Phannacy students score high on tests

by Machelle Schwend Sentinel Rcponer Three NIC students. Chax Peterson. Cindy Miller are nuending ldnho State University and Jean Connery is enrolled at Washington State University. becayse they were accepted into the respective pharmacy schools. To get into these programs. they fin.I had to take a sophomore level organic chemistry course plus math and English along with chemistry. physics and biology courses from NIC. "I feel that the teachers at NIC helped me prove to myself that I could make it at the phannacy school. I thank them vecy much for propelling me towards my goal," Connery said.

The NIC chemistry class had five students enrolled. and three subm iued applications to pharmacy schools. In order for a student to be accepted into a pharmacy school, some of the requirements they need to fulfill are: a GPA or no less than 3.3. recommendations, interviews. and an examination of classes already taken. The courses pharmacy students take are similar to the classes for a pre-med student and it usually takes three years to get the courses that arc needed. it took these three students only two years here at NIC. '1'hcsc schools have very rare admissions nnd these three students were ncceptcd with their first applications" said Ken Wright. a NIC chemistry instructor. "It usually takes 1wo or three tries before you're even considered."

The five students that were enrolled in the chemistry class had to truce a test that examined their proficiency in the subject. The national average for students Inking this exam is in the 50 percentile range. The average scores for the N!C class was in the 80 percentile. " II says a lot for students coming from a junior college to be accep1ed at a prestigious school," Wrigh1 said. "We are here to teach a higher education. We :ire not here 10 make professional basketball or baseball players, we helped make these kids academic 'pros·."
