Conferenee to grapple with sexuality

by Sherry L. Adkins Senrinel Reponer A conference dealing with issues of gay, lesbian and bisexual youth in North Idaho is going to be held a1 NlC in the Boswell Hall Auditorium on Friday. Nov.12, and Saturday, Nov 13.

The scheduled agenda for "We Are Your Family.

Friends and Neighbors" will feature keynote speaker Bill Wass mu1h, spokesman for the Northwest Coalition Against Malicious Harassment, as well as 14 other speakers and panelists. A panel of gay. lesbian und bisexual youlh will also be on hand to answer questions.

Various workshops will be offered regarding youth wilh same-sex orientation. including ruligious issues, counseling, legal issues, youth health, sclfcstecm, social services, classroom issues and issues involving parents and friends.

The conference goal is 10 provide an opportunity for sharing infom1otion and increasing nwarcness on gay issues through education and networking. 1l1e focus will be on education mlher than politics.

Peggy Federici, conference director, said that she believes education and networking will play a key roll in the effectiveness and success of this event ''I believe in education and that each person ha.~ a

right 10 be loved and accepted and treated with dignity and respect," Federici said, "no maucr if lhey're black or white, gay or straighl, Buddhist or Christian, male or female."

Federici added she has n personal reason for wanting 10 sec the conference take pl~. A student was beaten up at a party this sumnicr because of his scxuitl oricmation.

"The idea that a student was beat up was offensive," Federici said. "I decided I hnd 10 do sonielhing because if I dido 't, !hen I would be a pan of the problem. I want to be n pan of the solution."

According to Todd Snyder. conforcnce steering committee member, this conference has many people involved and is well organized.

'This pnnicular conference is exceedingly wellorganizcd, and I think 1ha1 makes or breaks a conference and I think this is going to make ii," Snyder said.

The conference is designed for educators, social workers, students, pu1ents and friends, low enforcement officials. counselors and the clergy. bu1 conference organizers encourage the public 10 auend. The conference is not just for gays. lesbians

I Counter£eiters carrying copied cards crash cruise j

The North Idaho College Sentinel

by J.A. Jeske Stntinel R(portt r Al lease 61 1tllegcd scow-aways boarded lhis year's fall cruise af1cr upPJICnlly forging coun1erfei1 1icke1S. Three hundred tickets were lcgiLima1ely prioied for the Associa1ed SrudcnlS of Nonh Idaho College We cruise, ye1 61 srudcncs in excess of Lhis number gained access 10 Lhe cruise by using ostensibly fake tickets.

The original order for 1he 1ickets was placed al lnsty-Prints, Coeur d'Alene, near the end of Sep1ember lns1y-Prin1s is also where some of 1he counrerfei11ickets were allegedly produced.

"On Friday morning, al least 1wo groups of young males came in and asked 10 make copies of business cards: lns1y-Prinu Manager. Eric McGovern said. "We don't usually look 100 closely at what we print, but afler 1he third request from young guys wanting business airds copied, I noticed wha1 was going on wid refused 10 print them. I Lhcn called ASNIC." McGovern ndded thn1 two more groups of males returned in the 3ftemoon with Lhe same request, but were turned away.

"I asked these two guys what's the purpose

the cruise when !hey presented cruise tickets Lhat were "really bogus," Manis said she was approached by an identifiable student brandishing an obviously counterfeit ticket. She said the ticket was clearly primed on a different type of paper stock allogelher.

ASNIC compiled a list of legitimate ticket buyers so only !hey would be allowed on !he boat. They then realized that they had sold guest passes 10 purchasers whose identity was unknown.

Additionally, many more reasons mode it difficult 10 decipher !he validity of !he tickets.

When would-be boarders made claims such as, "I bought my ticket from o classmate whose name I don't know, or I accidcntnlly ran my ticket lhrough the wash," said Kris S1cin, an ASNIC senator who was collecting t.ickets :11 the cruise.

"Al one point a guy threatened to beat !he sno1 out of me if I didn't let him on," Stein said.

He and others had knowingly collected 35 coun1erfcils. turning away the coun1crfei1 ticket holders al the dock by the time the

for copying the cards? " "We sold about IO lickecs, maybe, to !he first two groups," he added.

Meanwhile, across town al Kinko' s copies, !he same scene was being repealed by groups of two or three young males also asking for copies of "business cards."

Manager Mike Kennedy came into his office after lunch and was told by his employees about !he card copying.

Kennedy asked that any subsequent requests be brought 10 hi$ auention first. A shon lime later, two young males approached a clerk and Kennedy was noti lied.

"I asked lhese two guys what's l11c pwpose for copying !he cards?" Kennedy so.id.

Kennedy said he told the two males. "I'm not going 10 do thi s for you guys because what you're doing is illegal."

Kennedy said he noticed the No. 118 wriuen on their card and then promptly alened ASNIC's Activities Director Vanessa Mohler to the counterfeit scwidal.

Al least 1wo groups came in after Kennedy called Mohler with the same request, which he denied.

Ten minutes before the scheduled boarding, 1wo older looking men came in wid asked 10 buy just grey paper stock. They were driving a newer-model red BMW car bearing a Kootenai county license plate, Kennedy said.

Kennedy said he Lhought it was odd 1h01 someone driving a new BMW could not afford o S5 ticket, adding, his store printed only about IO to 15 cards.

Christa Manis, ASNIC President, said the foyer in the SUB was full of students wailing to buy tickeis the last day of the sale, Friday.

"I got up there :u 11 a.m.. in 10 minutes they were all sold out and I had 10 rum people away," Manis said.

She also said she believed all of the 300 lcgitima1e ticket holders showed up for the cruise. Some people were turned away from

College looks into possible SUB remodeling

by JdYSelle Senline/ Reporttr A need to update the 33-ycar-old building combined wilh an unan1ic1pa1ed surge in growth is what prompted school administrators 10 begin looking into !he possibility of remodeling the Student Union Building on campus, said NIC's Director of Aullilio.ry Services Lanny Stein.

After touring numerous olhcr campuses with President Bob Benneu, Stein said, they CllJllC 10 Lhc conclusion !hat NICs SUB was outdated and was beginning 10 fall shon of serving ilS primo.ry purpose.

The pwpose of a SUB goes beyond providing services 10 the students; it must be esthetically pleasing as well as provide pleasurable and comfortable surroundings, Stein said.

When lhc decision was made 10 begin looking at remodeling !he SUB in the spring of 1993, a sur.'Cy was distributed 10 get a belier idea of what services the srudents fell should be provided.

"We got everylhing from a barl>ershop and bowling alleys 10 a lllll5$age parlor." he said. adding tha1 !he list has been narrowed down 10 some of Lhc more practical suggestions.

But. he said, nothing is set in concrete yet. He hopes students will meet with their ASNIC representatives and let them know what is needed so th:it if and when the final plans are drawn up, emybody cwi benefit from lhc new facility. "l would like 10 Ste students talking wilh their reprusentalives 10 give us the ideas we need lo accommodate the future ~,ndtnt< of NIC." Stein snid, adding, even if h's 10 suggC$1 bowling alleys and barber shops, NIC will look into !he feasibility of all the ideas.

If cvcrylhing goes as planned, construction is sci 10 begin in

June of 1994, but many lhings must be done before that proposed date, he said.

Foremost on Lhc ngenda is reviewing the funding options Lhat nre available. Primo.ry funding will most likely come from student foes, Stein said. But, grants and private donations could also be secured to help offset Lhe cost.

Stein said he has asked the school anomey 10 find out how !he college must go about securing legal authorization from the srudencs in order 10 raise the fees necessary to begin the operation.

"In !he past I think Lhcy jus1 did it." he said, referring to the initial building of the SUB nod the two subsequent additions made 10 the building since !hen.

S1ein said he hopes the students will have !he foresight their predecessors had when !hey decided 10 build !he SUB b:ick in 1960 10 nccommodate !he 463 studenlS that were enrolled that year.

Even Lhough enrollment numbers were small back !hen, "!he students had the foresight 10 sec that these facilities would be needed in !he fu1urc." Stein said, adding that the SUB is currently operating on 10 revenue generated by Conner s1uden1S. Also. many of Lhe plans that have already been drawn up will mos t likely have to be modified, Stein said. because the unanticipaled surge in enrollment made the planners realize !hat more space will be needed.

"We don't wam to get four years down the road and hn~e 10 do this all over again." he said, adding that recent demographic information 1hn1 is cunently bt-ing <tudied by c.ollege officials

Playful gestures or maybe Sexual Harassment?

Question: "Whal would you do for a raise?" asks your boss.

Reply: 'Td probably work hntd."

Obviously this is nor the response he was looking for.

Everyone there laughs, bur there is something very strange in the way he said it.

Why is it so many employers feel since they nre "the boss" 1h01 they cnn have their wny with the employees?

I'll tell you why. Power!

The power !hat can be used to gain sexual favors in ways that arc obviously coerci vc or subtly Jolene <ireen intimidating. The kind you either put up wilh or find n new job.

The mild brushing up against. !he cute linle remarks. the way they look al and touch you: any wny you look al ii, it's still sexual harassment.

Now, don't gel me wrong. There is such a lhing ns a mn. I should know: I om one. Out when they're 40 years old with a wife and kids, one word comes 10 mind.

"Jailbai1."

Some of these girls, just 15 or 16 years old, jumping into the work force and don路 1 see this 10 be more than just friendly gestures. Out come on now, lei's open our eyes. I don't find this to be sexy: I find it very frightening.

When I am working I don'! expect 10 be 1ren1cd any 路 differently than the guys I'm working with. especially since I could probably our.work over half of them. My guess is the boss doesn't go around making sexual suggestions at them. lfhc did, I would feel much safer.

Why don't many guys have this problem? Maybe ii has 10 do with the first response I gol to this story idea.

When I asked my class if anyone there had been around any sexual harassment on the job, one guy said "No, bur I'd like 10 be."

Is there a big hormonal difference hue or what? I highly doubt it. 11 all depends on the person. I would rather be told how good I was working instead of how good I looked.

On the job is nor the appropriate place for hanky路 panky.

And how do we deal with the overpowering boss?

Most victims say that direct personal action such as being asscnivc is the best way 10 stop this unwanted attention. Telling them 1hat you value your job, but cannot hnndle them hlltllSSing you is the best woy to be lcfl alone. Tha1's why you were hired in the first place.

And it might not be just the boss, i1 could be any of the people you work with. ';"hen you work with lots of typical young mates, you re bound to gel your ass slapped a few rimes. Tum around and break that arm to get a little attention. Or if you like the guy, for heaven's sake, slap it back!

Will contested by college Nonh Idaho College has been taking some heat as of late over n lawsuit that contests the Clifford E. Malanya's will, which originally left $170,000 to NIC and the University of Idaho to spli t equally for needy student scholarships.

A second will, drawn up shonly before his death, left SI0,000 to U of I and nothing to NlC. It specified that the remaining money go to Jock and Darla Pinney of Squaw Bay. The revi sed will was written up in September just n month before Malanya died of cancer 01 nge 88.

Coeur d'Alene anorney Scott Reed. who drew up Malnnya's original will, brought the changes to NIC's attention and questioned whether the couple had taken advantage of Malanya's poor health nnd s1a1e of mind.

The Finneys claim 1h01 Mal any a deliberately left 1he school out of his revised will because he was disgusted by the problems with the school's Hedlund Building, which lias undergone expensive repairs because of toxic fumes.

NIC has been labeled greedy and insensitive because of the lnwsui1 by, of course. the Finneys. Even the editor of a local newspaper has s1a1cd NlC should "cease and desist" with its lawsuit The question isn't whether or not Malanya's last wishes should be carried out or not, but what, exactly, were his last wishes? Obviously. his money should go wherever he wanted it 10 go.

Now if Malanya's own lawyer has questions concerning the validity of the revised will and its recipients, then it's definitely a matter that the couns should help decide.

It's extremely ensy 10 make NIC look like a big money路 grubbing institution in this situation, but if the roles were reversed and the Finneys, or anyone else for that matter. were on the side that was originally supposed to be willed $85,000 and didn'l gel o dime, you can bel that they would be asking the couns 10 look into ii. NlC isn't doing whnt anyone else wouldn't do. It's not like NIC wants the money for the Administrative Christmas fund. The money was 10 go 10 a scholarship fund for needy students in the memory of Malanya and his late wife, Nell. ls this greed?

If it turns out he was coerced into changing his will and it's proven in court, then the college will look like heroes for standing its ground and the Finoeys will look like greedy criminals and lousy human beings for Laking advantage of a nice elderly gentleman who was ill. There could even be legal ramifications.

It's too bad that we live in a world where people arc dishooes1 and greed runs rampant. If the world was fair. there would be no need to question peoples' motives ..... bur it's not.

This editorial is in no way an auempt to tarnish the memory of Malanya or his family through public scrutiny, and we wish 10 extend our condolences for their loss.

The point is that there are legitimate questions 1h01 need 10 be answered. and in our society, we rely on 1he coun systems 10 make sure the right thing is done.

NIC 's stand is 001 a greedy ac1 of revenge but an aucmpl 10 sec that Malanya's true last wishes arc carried out. Don't you think he would want that?

I just want to be one of the gang There is n lot of t3lk these days obout ethnic enclaves in the colleges and universities around th.e country. I don't see much of thnt here. but with a diverse blending of age.~ on compus. I couldn't help but wonder, "Are there generational enclaves at NJC?" This thought first came 10 mind during summer session. A well-respected instructor informed class that in Group I. (37 percent of students at NlC) foll between the ages of 18 and 28: Group 2, (35 percent) are 29 to 40 (the category I fi nd myself in); and in Group 3. (28 percent) nre 41 and up.

Armed wit h these stntisucs, I took it upon myself 10 ask student groups of varied ages questions concerning their interJction with fellow pupils who are not nge cohorts.

My search began at the Sentinel orticc. Shem1nn Buildin{l Upon entering Sentinel Central, I spied 0oo Ben three Group I co-stnffcrs huddled around a table and totnlly cngros.,ed Opinion in their work.

"Good morning," I began, ··1 was ...." my sentence was cut short by three voice~ in uni~n shouting. mpid fire-~cntences ,•nried only by volume and in1cnsity. I did manage 10 co,ch the word "pinhead" coming from the mouth of one. Somewhat taken abacl.. I beat o hosty rc1rea1 from Central. uih:r I wos to find out the pinhead remark wos not nltogether aimed at 1he siJ..C of my hcnd, but the three 5eated at the table were doing a re-creation of the Sistine Chapel on the head of a pin and simply wished for total silence.

Ambling acro~s the lawn toward the SUB. I spied an impromptu soccer game compos.:d of what looked like studcn~ from Group I and Group 2.

I ~ked a member of Group I's team if I could participate.

"Nol on our teom. GrondpJ," he said. "Go grob a wheelchair and you can play with the re~t or the crutch clutches yonder, they need all the help they can get."

True 10 his word, the crutch clutches welcomed me wtth open anns. After displaying my athletic prowes~ by stopping a few shots on goal with my face. I bid my teammate$ adieu and continued on 10 the Student Union Building.

Crossing College Drive, I entered the SUB and mode my way to I.Ible filled with Group 3 students, one whom I knew well from summer session.

"Excuse me," I respectfully began. " I wa~ wondering 1f )OU could answer o couple of questions concerning interaction between the different age groups here at the school" "Get lost. punk!," this cnme from a senior member of the table. "Can't you sec were talking?"

"The generic brands," he continued, "really are as good as the name brands."

Disappointed by my lack of progress I was abOut to tum away and forget the whole aruclc when my Group 3 friend from summer school stopped me. " Don, it's 001 that we doo·1 wont you 10 sit down ond tal k or that we don't like you. You ruive 10 realize we're a differen1 gencrauon and that means different music, different clothes, mostly difforent everything. We're j ust more comfonablc tlllking and being around people who grew up al the same time. h' s always been that way and it will always be that way."

In reuospect, I suppose he hirit 'right on ' the buuon.

Gallery dipicts theme of 'Public Tragedy-- Personal Concern'

by Sherry L. Adkins Stntinel Rt'pomr

A virtual cornucopia of misery, war, trogcdy and tormented despair of the human soul is being housed in the Union Gallery for n limited time.

No, it's not a Halloween party. It's "Public Tragedy-Personal Concern," nn exhibit of various prints depicting the timeless clement of human misery and emotion. The exhibit is on loan rrom Gonuiga University and the private collection of J. Scon Patnode, who also serves ns the curator.

This disturbing collection is nvrulable for viewing in the gallery until Oc1. 31.

Po1nodc delivered a slide show presentation of tl1e collection 10 thiny plus people in Boswell Hall on Tuesday 10 give insight into the nnrure of the exhibil. The exhibit prints are an an form called the grotesque. II is exactly what co01es 10 rnind wi1h 1he word, yc1 sligh1ly more evocative.

According 10 Pmnode, 1he grotesque is a form of an which merges cenain common charac1eris1ics. Grotesque an uses caricatures and tl1e distonion nnd deformation of chnrnctcris1ics 10 convey 1he anists' expressions. h is n direct and forceful means of exposing man 10 man, and man 10 himself.

First. i1 rejects reason, its benefits, institutions and protections. Secondly, ii involves immersion into the subconscious and the things thm nre conceived tl1erc, such ns fear, passion and perversity. These oflen elicit n strong interest in

sc~ and violence and frequcn1ly in1cnwine the ,_.o. Third. ii is an obsession with opposites that force the co-existence of the beautiful with the repulsive, tile humorous with the horrendous and the pleasurable with the painful.

"The collection is an expression of fear and terror in relation 10 violence,'' Patnode said. ..There's probably no single theme that relates more 10 man·s inhumanity 10 man than war.''

The collec1ion chronicles the disasters of war aro different anist interpretations of crucifixion.

One of the most powerful characteristics of 1his exhibit is its uncanny ability 10 reach into the viewer's soul and rip forth a reaction.

Union Gallery Director Allie Vogl was right on when she commented 1h01 the exhibit was. "compelling and thought-provoking." The collection is sure 10 force emotion from deep witllin all who see it, no mauer how dark or disturbing those feelings may be. "h is the beautiful portrayal of the demon in mankind," Pm node said. "h's good for us 10 cons1an1ly be reminded of the forces of evil, the darker side of mankind.''

Patnode suggested ii is necessary 10 remember these things so hu111ani1y does nol repeal lhc treacherous evenlS of history.

The Union Gallery is located in the bnscmen1 Photo by Erin Siemers of the Edminster Student Union Building and is open Monday through Friday, noon 10 6 p.m. For Bemard Buffet's image of Christ's crucifixion 'Have Pity' Is one of the prints on display in the Gallery's 'Public Tragedy-Personal Concem• display. information call Vogt al 769-3427.

though this band pt"rfom,s more than 400 shows :111nually, thty c.:in't play c~erywhere. The fact that thty came to

Coeur d'Alene is renwk3ble.

The entire auditorium was full as l«nls wanttd to toke the nut opportuniry 10 see ~me of this nation's ~t t.alenteJ musicians from Travi, Air f-oo:e Base in Fairfield Calif.

People of all ogC'i C1ll1le 10 this free concen and they. as well m myself, wm: not al all lea down.

Although the ~,:ning had apatriotic thrme. m~ic of all 1ypes was perfonned. Everylhlng from Dillcland IO marches to movie themes was played. The band opened wi1h the National AnthM!, of course, and did a magnificent job.

Everyone could lell these were proud Americans to be in lhe

"Wedding On A HIii," a love song. was a Band in Blue original, featuri"i clarinet soloist Mark Shrode. He has been

He sang for lhc next 1wo numbers, and the audienrc and I liked him more and more during C3Ch OM. The s«"Ond half or the show started with a shon, but runny, vmion of the theme song to 'The Twilight Zone".

This was followed by 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Fanta~ia. The dramwic changes in the music displayed rhe t:ilent of lhe conductor, Captain Philip C. Chcvellard. Tb,: entire audience jumped oul of their seats at the abrupt ending.

Sb: of the Band in Blue members also make up the Ambas.wton ofDi,icland. This clitt group saole the show with their two IOC·lapping numbers '"Skele1on Jangle'' and MSavc The Bones For Henry Jones." The audience especially responded wcll 10 John Romano's clarine1 solo.

Other interesrlng numbers ioclud«I the theme from E.T. and "You' ll Never Walk Alone", from Carrouscl. Thty cl~ with "Ood Bless America," during 111hich the whole

'Fifry--seven channels . I on...I andnu thms

by Seth Slevenpiper StnJintl Rtporur .

• Who will the winners be? Thnt's the quesuon facing TV vie"crs a.\ the new foll 51!.!.<0n is well underway. nus battle is in two major regions. late night nnd Sunday evening.

The most prominent battle is being wngcd after 10:30 on weeknights. What is this b:111Je? Why !he war of the wJk shows. of co.me. Leading !he assault for rating share are Jay Leno, host of the '1'onigh1 Show" on NBC. Chevy Ctui.se. a talk show virgin with nn upstan show on FOX. and David Letterman, whose bold dcpnnure to CBS !his fall has seemed 10 be n success. Other cont(nders. weak though !hey may be, are Arsenio Hall: 11 veteran whose oiling show was once one of the honest things going, and Conan O'Brien.

O'Brien is an alumni from ·1ne Simpsons" and "Sntunlay Night Live," and his show is produced by SNL cre.uor Lome Michaels.

Triumphant so for has been 'The Late Show With David Leucrmll.D." Deservedly so. Dave's show is smart. funny, and entennining. Paul Schaeffer, his talented band leader/sidekick gives the show the edge 10 evenrually win the late night crown. My prediction for second place is Jay Leno. llonestly. although he can be funny, he suikes me as stodgy and egoti\tical. You've lost it, Jay. We wnnt Johnny bock. l watched ''The Chevy Ch.i.'iC Show" fully ~xpecting 10 be entcnaincd nnd amu~cd by it's once,funny host. I wish I hod been, and I wish Che,'Y Chase hadn't tried so hnnl- 1really did want him 10 succeed. Well. folks, he's ju11 ROI doing it. Avoid thi, turkey. It could be the first lote-night casualty. On the subject of people trying too hard, meet Conan O'Brien. He is very funny and talented, but he's not right for a mlk ~how. His sidekick has the talent of n brick.

The final contender on late night TV is Arscnio Hall. lfo once-hip show could end up being nnothc.r viclim of this season,. It's desperately in need of n make over.

Maybe I'll ju~t wnich "Night Talk" with fane Whitney.

The other battle is on Sunday evenings. Angela Lansbury 1w been o Sunday night powerhouse for CBS for several years. For the first time, she faces real competition.

"Lois and Clnrk, The New Adventures of Supcm1an" SUll'S Denn Cain as the infamous (and recently dead) super hero. Tiie acting is decent, and aside from the chcczy-looking Oying scenes, it has decent special effects. It's a good show, but the strong competition may not make it look that way in the ratings.

NDC's warrior for this bottle is the most expensive show-per episode-currently on American television.

A submarine is the basis for seaQucst D.S.V. This future-based show is produced b)• Steven Spielberg.

You know him: his movie "Jurassic Park" is the highest grossing movie in the hi~tory of the world. J enjoy this show a great deal.

So there it is, !he proverbial "Battle of the century." I would encourage c.ich of you LO watch all of these shows at least once, so you can choose your favorites To a.nswer the question, "who will the winners be," only ume will tell. But I know who the loser of this battle is: me. Because now I'm tom between what 10 wnich.

'Malice', latest serial thriller

by Kendra rrrslmll und Jvlw Malachi Myers Sm1inel Staff It seem~ as if movie~ nrc rcncc1ing just how me,~cd up sOC'icty ,, 11xlay. Or maybe it Is juM that society loves tilt thrill of an intense mysuuy/thrillcr, or the CJ:cilement of a high-paced, vlolt:111 ac1ion film.

Personally, ! love 10 be sc:m.'<I out of my shortS by a good, M)ary thriller But either way, th.: most soughl oner movies ~m 10 be about some 1wis1cd psychoJ)llthic serial killer or maybe just a messed up individual who ends up com milting some heinou.< crime. And of course, the whodunnil mms ore wry magnetic 1hM1selvei..

In ibc lotcst thriller. "Molicc," with Alee Baldwin nnd Nicole Kidman. !here was a new kind or twist. You find out who did it befor.: the very end and boy _ _ _ _ _ ___,ore y(lu shocked!

It seemed to be ju~l an e.1ttra 1wis1. Despite what you might ll1ink. Ake Baldwin is not tl1c top dog in lhl~ movie.

Local play to be directed by student

by Kristi Prinlx Se111inel Rt{H)Ntr Does the name Agatha Christie jump out at you? When I hear her name, visions of the bonrd game 'Clue' come flowing from my childhood. Agotha Christie is widely known for her 'whodunnit' stories. If you're not in tl1e mood 10 read one of her stories. then 'The Mousetrap" which is coming alive for all 10 see, is what your're looking for.

Rebecca Morrison, nn NIC student will be direc1ing lhc play 'The MoUSi!trap" at the Lake City Playhouse this November. The auditions on Oct. 5 she said, "went well and the cast is chosen and ready." She has been a thenter major for 4 ye~. and she is very serious about what !heater means 10 her. Morrison. "II'~ irnponnn1 for people in,-olved in theater to be invol\'ed in nil the aspects of iL" Being o director is a big step. but she feels she ready for it. Morrison says she owes thanks 10 her pnrenis who hove been involved in theater since she can rcme(11bc:r.

To get an idea of what this play is about, here's a little

information.

There's a woman who has been murdered and the police ore looking for the person at fault The murderer ends up gelling snowed in at a guest house with 7 other people.

Everyone in this guest house is a potential suspect and victim.

Like I said before. this play sounds just like the game 'Clue'.

Other NIC srudents will be participating in this play as well. Jake William.son NIC S1uden1 and Amy Sanderson. actress ll.Od drama member.

These actort/actrcsscs will be giving up their jobs and social lives for about 2 months in order for this play 10 be a success. If you would like to be a pan of it, Morrison is looking ror anyone interested in helping out on the crew. You can contact her at the Lake City Playhouse, 667-1323.

Think about the thrill you could feel by figuring out who really is the murderer. There's only one way 10 see if you can.

Go experience ''The Mousetrap," which opens Nov. 11 and ploys the following three weekends at the Lake City Playhouse.

A lad's eye view of the unfamiliar, yet friendly

by Murlu\aron Perry Sentinel Reporter The Four Lnds conccn Friday nigh1 a1 Boswell Hall wns educ111ional and brough1 up 3 few surprises.

Opening wilh lhc Inds was the Windsor Creek Trio. a 23 year old folk group consisting of members George Gianli, Dave Woodruff and Daven Dollahon.

From the looks of their incredibly loud-colored polyester shins, I knew for sure lhis would be an awful night.

Af1cr lhe opening number, the group joked about lheir unsuccessful career. 1l1ey mentioned the invention of the Windsor gimm ick. which is singing slightly off key, because lheir agent snid the band needed somelhing unique. The audience laughed and I also thought it wos II joke. because there was nothing 31all unique about the first number, "Miss Mc When I'm Gone.''

By the fifth number. however, I staned 10 enjoy myself.

The blind played a medley of oldies including. "Splish Splash," "Chnntily Lace," "Bird Dog," and a really funny version of"Runaway." TI1e bond looked like they were actually enjoyi ng themselves at that point, and lhe audience, including myself, liked it too. From this point on. lheir

adventure

for all to see

show was very enjoyable.

Tite 3udience really seemed to enjoy lhe band's last song, ''Mariah." I thought it was a good song, and ii picked up the pace somewtiat, but 1he song before 1hnt, "One Song Away From A Hit," would've been a better final number. It sounded like more of a farewell song.

Their performance proved 10 be successful, as they were called back 10 do two encores. The Four Lads didn't do an encore, which was very surprising.

'1'umbling Down Tumble Weeds," by 1he Sons of the Pioneers was the fir.;t encore. The second was 'This Land Is Your Land," in which the audience panlcipation was tremendous.

Then The Four Lads 100k the s1age. When I snw Frank Busscri, Horry Du Vall, Don Frurar and Aaron Bruce Grotlidge take the stage in their tuxe.~. I sinned 10 have dreadful nashbacks of Lawrence Welk, and '78 vinyl records.

The group, which has been around for 43 years. performed most or their own material, most of which was from the 50s and sounded extremely showy. Even though I re.illy don't care for this Vega.~ style music, I'm very glad 10 say 1hat 1his show wasn't nearly as disappointing as ii fir.;i appeared.

The group performed songs by Barry Mnnilow, and 1hc fnmous, "I Did It My Way," by Fronk Sinatra. TI1ey did a tremendous job on the vocals for that number.

Busscri, the only remaining original Lad, had Grattidgc sing "Each Day is Valcn1incs Doy" to a lady in the fron1 row, for the fifth number. Vivia Wong. or Spokane, said she

loved ii. Wong said the concen was really enjoyable, and she wishes they'd do one in Spokane. This entenained the audience, a.~ well as myself, very much.

Another remarkable produc1ion was the tribute to Irving Berlin. The group did a great medley of all his famous hits from the early 1900s, including "No Business Like Show Business," "Alexander' s Ragtime Band," "White Christmas," and "God Bless America," 10 no.me a few.

J 1hink the thing that surprised me the mos1, was the song Istanbul not Constantinople. This was not originally done

by They Might Be Giants, bu1 by The Four uids. It wcn1 gold in 1953. and it was their fim song to ever do this.

During the cighlh number, "Know No1 Much," Busscri helped 1he audience remember the past, when they were young and in love. Perhaps this was the pan of 1he whole night I liked more 1han anything. Several old couples in the audience held hands and cuddled up close 10 a fovori1c love song from their generation, which I enjoyed because teenager.; in the 90s aren't quite 1his innocent and loveydovcy anymore.

This gave me a whole new outlook on these old timer.; in penguin suiL\. More imponan1ly 1h.in the fac1 that thC)' are still singing and dancing 10 their grea1old songs. their bringing enjoyment into the lives of many.

Even though I the only young lad :11the show, I think more of our gcncnuion should've nncnded because their music can be enjoyed by both young and old. h's 100 bad that more NIC s1udents didn't give up one Friday nigh1 of partying to show rc\pect for our grandp:irents' generation and music. h's not oflen 1ba1 life gives us this opponuni1y.

You gue.<o;cd 11, he shol the dog's owner in$IC:ld of the dog, By now. you'r.: probably wondering whJI on earth I'm talking :ibout. No, ii'~ nol the opening seen.: to a bad murder mystery. It's The Sc.:oncl Cily! The Chicago-based comedy touring g.roup groC'ed 1h.: ~-------:--, NIC Auditorium with its bafarious performance Sot. Oct. 9.

This was not the fi~t time I hod seen Tiu: Second City. Last October, while at a Notional College Press Conference in the Windy City I was 1rea1ed to :inothcr grelll perlom1anc.-. From previously seeing them. I had o slight idea ofwhot 10 expect. Surpri~ing 10 mt'. none or tho aC'ls tllat I bad seen in Chic3go duplica1cd the acts 1hey po.'rfonned on S01urdoy.

The actors cons isled of two women and four mtn, (knaif.:r Sill. Rachel Dr:11ch, M11tk Dnlbis, Joe Dcmps~y, Jon GI Mer and Jeff Roger~) who performed planned slib and improv ~nes. Minimal props were used (four chairs and o couple of chooee:. of clothing) and n pinno provided mu~ical oe1:0mp~namen1. Also, the group used microphone~ only when it enhanced the p11r1lculur ac1or during offs111g1: "god-m ..:· ~pelking.

Most of the focus of the ac1s was j1m original humor, but several of 1he sets included timely politico! and religious m31t:rfal.

The highlight,, of the show were hond.~-Jown the numerous improvisationul ptrformanccs. The actors would have the audicnc.: participate by shou1lng uu1 different movie genres and I.hen they would portmy thol genre. Por cumplo. the actors firs1 goto movie smiog from 1hc oudi~nce. 111e one we chc»c wos o ~pacc,hip. Then they collected diffcrcn11yp,:s or genres 10 use.

Throwing together a improv skit wi1h the setting of o spaceship and the genre of a mu~kal crc~1ed quire an intrn:sling outcomc. I wus imprcsscd with th¢ ac1ors' ability 10 jui1 walk out on the stage and start 1alklng wilhour any .:hance at prior rchcan.ol. Speol..ing from experience of being on a stage, it's no1lllways C4$y, especially when you don't know ~xactly what you're going ro say.

Ont of my favorite acts wa.~ don~ by Mark Dalbi& and Jeff Rogers. TI1ey ponroyed two men in II work environment. The men walk out onto the singe, one of them gushing 3bout this bcau1irut woman he had seen. The othn- on.: is rorbtr annoyed when he finds out this woman his friend is !ailing about is from a .:ommcrcial on television. Re can't understand bow thi• guy can be so obsessed wi1h a chic on LV. Anyhow, the two end up getting lo this huge argument because the man lMa.rk Dalbis) who was talking abou1 the beautiful woman insists thal the other guy Is gay (Jeff Rogers) because he dida·t seem 10 get excilcd when 1old about her. The act turns ugly when Mark throws a fit of jealousy because Jeff is •upposedly gay • ad always gets the women, while Jeff sits not believing what he is hearing. lt was hys1erical. Tbe sceoc when Mark paraded around the stage 5bouliog about how proud he wu or Jefr1 "coming oul of lhe closet.• was almost reminiscent of the scene i11 Wayne', World wheTe Wayne Iliff to get Cwudra lo mum home with him and the words "Oscar Clip" Dub In the lower screen• . 1bc type of comedy that The Secood City provided was, lo my opinion. quire different from most experiencf.d in Ibis partlcullll' area of the Unilcd Sta1ee. l enjoyed the show a great deal, as did-my coUepn wbo auended with me.

However, I think that many of the audience was 1111prepared for Ibis kind of a show.

Aboriginal Skills IOI, Primitive Navigation. nnd Sweat Lodges arc just n few of the ' learning workshops that a person can prnciice by ancnding Dou Ider Outdoor Sul'\â&#x20AC;˘ival School (BOSS) held this year in Rexburg.ID. The Rabbhstick title wns born of a simple t0ol used extensively by western natives nnd, in n modified version. by aborigines all over the world. The stick was a 1001 designed, shllpcd and uS1.'<1 for a specific purpose and lead the world as one of man's earliest and longest lasting tools. Rabbi1s1icl. is an effon 10 preserve and master these ans and tcchnologys of the past and pass them lo the future just as our ancient for bearers would have done.

For the past few years BOSS has led the field in networking with other specialists of primitive technology and has done extensive research nnd collecting of "lost 3!1S" and aboriginal life skills. ll's an adventure 10 quiz old ones about string figures, cthnoboiany, unppiog. 1001 making nnd other trnditions going unrecorded. BOSS is proud 10 be a source of 1rndilionnl information and share ii with !be interested. They offer a brand range of teachers. technologies, adventures and lcaroing experiences.

1l1cse teachers, specialists, nnd anisians in primitive technology arc invited by BOSS 10 anend a gathering in order 10 share ideas and methods, as well as spread Lhe ans through hands on workshops. Expect skill instruction from some of !be top Primitive Technologists (only invited staff will teach).

To best fncili1a1e this, the rendevous will have scheduled times for informal special inter~! forums where a person may sit and watch, listen, or ask questions. The rendevous will be a chance for ll1e :mists 10 get together and spend time with Lhcir peers in a sening of general skills.

The schedule will also conrnin highly structured workshops 10 give direct experience while working w11h top cmftsmnn in their :uca or speciality. All workshops will have limited enrollment for tu1orcd instruction. II is also acceptable 10 just walk around and gleen as much informntion as time allows. All classes are 1augh1 outdoors.

I found out about this unique ploce by speaking 10 Joe Conners of Sandpoint. I le had the rare opponuni1y 10 anend this weeks long gmhering. We spoke al length curlier this week and he gn"c me some of his thoughts on ll1e experience.

"I showed up not knowing entirely what to expect," Conners said. "My intentions were 10 learn as many or the skills tis time would allow, I wa~ ovcl'\Vhelmed by the scope of classes offered."

Some of the classes 1ha1 are offered urc drummaldng, bone and antler working. lire by friction and :ulatl and dart.~.

Conners explained 1ha1 an a1ln1I is a primitive weapon. It propells a five foot arrow 10 distances of more ll1an 200 yards.

Whoa, 1hn1¡s two football fields wonh. Joe! '1na1's right. I witnessed 11 new u1la1I record sc1, l11at will be in the Guiness Book of World Records, covering 660 plus feet," Conners said.

Awesome!

'The drum," he continued. "is the hcanbeat, the sweat lodge is the womb each lime you go into the sweat lodge it's like being reborn into the womb." ''The sweat lodge cennony was guided by Dr. John Standing Bear of Arizona." " I walked away from Rabbitstick with seveml new skills. but what was most imponan1 was the feeling of being totally connccled with a 300 person tribe."

Jordan gave fans everlasting thrills 1, ii jus1 n game? Man)' of us Mrugglc lhroughou1 our lives 10 be 1he best 01 something. al nny1hing.

For nearly n decade, nobody did it belier. Nobody was as graceful or as indomitable. Nobody could stop Michael Jordan.

Legs flailing around and tongue drooping ou1. Jordan effonlessly ployed the game of basketball. His keen sense and uni magi nable agility gave oo.sketb:111 lovers a thrill. On m breakaway or in a crowd, Jordan put the ball in the net like no other. It was almost simple.

Since his retirement, countless journalist and fons alike hove debated whether he will return, but you'll ge1 no debate from me.

A s1nnding memory for all spons fnns, Jordan brought about "Jordan Rules."" Air Jordan's" and the saying ''If I could be like Mike." No other spons figure was as commercially used in society as we know i1.

His SJ million annual snlory from ploying for the Chicago Bulls must have seemed like pocket change compnred 10 the approximolely $40 million he brought in from various other engagemen1s.

Jordan hos done his pan for the game. In fact, basketball was lucky 10 have such n talent and the spons world should focus its effons on one thing-lelling Jordon go.

All good things must come to an end.

He's earned seven straight scoring titles and three straight NBA titles whh the Bulls. Three times he won the Most Valuable Player awnrd. He was the NBA's Rookie of the Year in 1984-85, Defensive Plnyer of the Year nnd All·Stnr G.une MVP in 1988 and three-time NBA Finals MVP (1991· 93). Through nine ~casons. he rank~ 15th on the all-time NBA S<:oring list with 21,541 points.

Ya, he's done his pnn.

Jordan. 30. was as dominant in his final year as he was in his firs1. Yet, in the prime of his career. he abates the game tha1 gave him money. fame nnd immonality.

But, anyone that ever rc~pcctcd Jordan. on or off the coun, had belier respect his decision. It's easy for us 10 be selfish by believing that Jordan is 1aklng something nway from us as basketball fnns.

"Eve,yone on the committee realizes the students are the No. 1 priority"

Expert predicts fewer jobs, lower wages Guest Lecturer says reform ofeducat,ion needed, college students unprepared

Growth strategy in works

by Michelle Schwend Sen1inel Reporter

NIC has formulated many growth plans that outline academic and strategic advances during the neJ\t few years. The short-term plans are scheduled to be done by the end of this year and nJI of the long-term plans are outlined until the year 2000.

The student population is growing 8 percent every year and classes will have to be added 10 accommodate the students' needs. Because of the weightless enrollmen·1figure for nex I semester, the academic growth plan for NJC is a positive advance.

'1be only diflicullies in this plan are a shortage of facilitie-s and staff," said Jerry Gee, dean of insUlJction. 'The only solution to that problem is to hire new staff and build new facilities."

Shon-term plans are to get lhe remodeling of Lee Hall done by the end of this year. Committees will be formed to address facility and staff needs and more progranJS will be offered throughout the next seven years.

A strategic plan for the year 2000 is due on Dec. 31 of this year. It will consist of what the college should be like academically and strategically. while also figuring what has to be done to reach that level. Facilities, like the maintenance areas. will be changed and possibly relocated, along wit11 buildings and parking areas.

A premature plan for the next seven years intends to supply more classroom spa~e. add additional parkinj!. build an Allied Science Building and relocate some areas of the college to other areas on campus.

A committee meets a1 least once a month for planning reasons to decide when chan!!es should begin and 1Vhere they are going to get the funding from.

"Everyone on the committee realizes that students are the No. I priority." physiC5/math instruclor and head of the committee, Curt Nelson said. "Everything is IVOrthwhile for their stay."

Efficiency and cost effectiveness will be the main concern for the committee throughout any year.

Dr. Richard Jool!.S from the International Center for Leade-rship in Education gave a lecture oo Oct 7. in B0swl.'U Hall Auditorium.

J<1nes spoke about the work place of the fulurc, how technology will affect it, and how education should be restructured concerning the above reasons.

Picture yourself getting into your car and seeing a computer keyboard in front of you, in addition to the ordinary sl<lering wheel.

All you would have to do is punch in data. such as your destination, point where Ilic trip starts, the city you are in. Theo kick back and let 1he computer fi nd the qui,;kcst and most economic route.

This is not science fiction, Jones said, things like this already happen in German cars made by BMW 11I1d Mercl~CS Benz.

"Technology is guickly changing the nature of !he work place," Jones said.

Tech!lology tend~ to df'CTCaSe the jobs offered and increase the sk ills required for a job. Autom;itcd production is •10 e~arnple of how ,~dmology ha~ changed the nature of tbe workforce. 'fl'Cbnology hn.~ bad a big impact on infonnation and services also, he said.

The average job in the United Sui.tcs is shifting from manual ll1bor to machine a,sistcd labor, and soon, Jones said he believes machine l,,bor will be complclf'ly iodependent.

Education in t he United '-tatcs should be restructured, according to Jone•. The United SL1te~ no longer has one of the be-st educational systems in the world. he said.

The condition will only change when American schools stan to focus more on academics rather thao

extr.i cumculum activities, Jones said, adding that in European conmries students are asked to spend more time in classes than in the United Stille.~ In the United States, this extra rime is usually spenl in the gym, Jones said.

American employers have already made tli.~ir choice: high skills and low wages, Jones said.

The best job offers right now are in the fields of processing informaLion and small business. but the skills requ ired in lhe:ie fields ha ve ·increased tremendously. Jooes said. Aud. the college graduates of today do noi have the ski lls 1he job market requires.

Resenrcb has shown that these businesses are flexible and dcceotrnlizcd. Jones· research also shows 1ha1 tl1ey arc looldng for very specific skills, such as matl1ema1ics. reason.Ing. logic, statis1ics, the ability to work with computers, increased proficienc>' in technical readJng and wriling. the ability to cooperate with high perforo1ance teams. a high level of organi1111ion, the ability to show self improvement and discipline, One solution, Jones said, i~ rhe Tech Prep program, which is an edu~ational program designed to e~tablish a link between high s.:hool and posl-high school technical preparation. Tech Pr.;p is supposed to assist student~ in gaining the skills required to ~ productiw in the work force, he added.

Tech Prep can also assist swdcnts in plamng theiJ ~ducalion. similar to the College Prep progrnm.

Jones sdid.

The point thot educators are appro11ching here is: The ('.u"lil"r !ht' planning i$ tlone, the better off the student will he, Jones ~aid adding, "The progmm aims to a produclive plnn of studies. Time is moni:y'"

Alcohol ban on campuses proposed byKylc~per Sentinel Reporter A s1a1e-wide alcohol ban on college campuses and I.he elimination of Greek fra1emil)' and sorority chapters has been proposed by Staie Board of Education Secrellll)' Joe Parkinson after an intoxica1ed student was left paralyzed from a fall al a Universi1y of Idaho fraternity party.

Regena Coghlan. a Greek pledge, was paralyzed from I.he waste down Aug. 19 after attending two fraternity panics that evening.

Coghlan had been drinking and I.he alcohol was blamed, at least partially, for the accident.

Parkinson proposed a motion at the September state board meeting, asking Iha! alcohol be banned from all ldaho college campuses, fraternities, sororities and student housing.

The proposal also encouraged colleges to take action against Greek chapters by forcing I.hem into bnnkrup1cy.

Bankruptcy would force I.he chapters to sell, leaving I.he houses open to buyers. The colleges could I.hen buy I.he private land and tum I.hem into residence halls.

Idaho Governor Cecil Andrus sent a letter stating hls concern and asking I.he chnirman or I.he board 10 take action regarding I.he nlcohol incident.

"II is my belief, following review of the circumstances, I.hat there have been serious violations of ldal10 Jaw, and I ruudously await I.he action of the locnl prosecutors to bring charges against those responsible for violnting the low," the letler said.

Andrus nlso addressed how he would IJke the board to respond 10 the situation when he wrote "..J urge you 10 call for legnl action against the responsible parties in this case and 10 insist I.he tl1e University or Idaho cooperate ful ly with I.he prosecution...11 would be appropriate, in my view, for you to consider directing the Uni\'ersi1y to withdraw formal recognition of the fraternities involved in this inciden1...

Furthennorc, ii is clear 10 me tlwt !he existing alcohol policy, at least at !he University oridal10, is nor always being

To tha1 end, the 60 resources of !he Alcohol Beverage Control alcohol Division of !he Idaho Deparunen1 of Law related Enforcement and !he Commission on 40 AJcohol-Drug Abuse are at your disposal. injuries Finally, I believe it is imperative that !he Board mainlllin a firm hand in control of tltis issue. I need not remind you lha1 our colleges and universities mus! be, above all, a safe place for learning and maiuriag."

Mcanwhlle, Richard Rock. presiden1 of !he Associated Students or University of Idaho and a fraterniiy pledge, organized a Non-Greek St11den1s rally on campus to oppose tl1e proposed ban and frn1emi1y elimination.

Program gives law enfocement students needed edge Grueling course requirements, ridgid panel interviewing process ensure top cops

The leader sellt of the Law Enforcement Program m Nonh Idaho College has chWlgcd since hm semester.

Tad Leach has taken charge replacing Fronk Wilkie who hod been teaching 01 the college for the past mony y~. Wilkie re$igncd in May to go imo business with his brother in rca.l estllte appraising.

The Law Enforcement Program here nt Nonh Idaho College is 10 prepare the student for an entry-level position as a city, countJ or state low enforcement officer. There ore three wnys one can become a uniformed officer either by; ccnilicn11on out of stale. po$! academy in Boise. or complete program 01 the college. After completion. the student fulfills the requirements for the A.A.S degree and is eligible 10 challenge peace officer ccniliClltion in ldnho and Moniano. But some graduates hnve been known to work in other places ll~c Houston.

The Law Enforcement Program involves two semesters of academic course~ which nre Engli~h Composition I03/1 (}l, American Notional Go"emmcnl, Stnte & Local Go,cmmrnt, Introduction 10 Psychology,

Social Problems. introduction 10 speech, Introduction 10 Law Enforcement, Introduction 10 Computers, Introduction 10 Computers & Programming.

Dcvelopmentnl Psychology and Loiic & Critical Thinking. Then if the student survives the academic courses, then they enroll in the block of technical cou~cs. The technical block which is the lirst semester consists of Self Defense. Basic Police Law, Profcs~ional Oricntolion, Police Procedures, Patrol Procedures,

Justice Theory and Criminal Justice Internship.

The Law Enforcement Program is a basic rookie school, it tcache:; the student to investigative techniques. lircnrms and self defense. The course prepares the student for real life e,:periences as a unifonned officer. They do role playing situations where they act out real life

I Practicum. lnvcsugotions, Enforcement Skills, rirst Aid for Police. Police Physicnl Fitness.

Then tlic ~ccond semester, the student goes through mtcmslup which includes Criminal

circumslllnces.

In order 10 become a police officer, one has 10 go in front of the mayor and a six

person panel and is judged for self motivation and fle,:lbillty meaning how well they can do in everyday situoLions. To become a chief, one is judged more on leadership and adminis1r.11ive skills.

According 10 Leach, thcJine should be drawn where force and weapons are concerned is based on "human instinct, when we as police officers nre upholding a suspect, harmed or not, we do not know what they nre planning to do. The last thing we want 10 sec happen i~ someone get hun, we use force as a last re~on. The public, press. etc. have several hou~. weeks, months 10 maul the situation over and then judge us but we have seconds."

Many changes hnve taken place throughout the last few decade\, the nature of crime for eitample. The incre:~c amount of youths with gun~ and the rise in violent crime and the high amount of innocent bystanders in the line of lire. Education is on the rise warning parents with guns and safety. And the technology ha.\ changed for the be1tcr, such ns cnmcra.~ in the police c~.

TI1cre nrc mnny reasons why student~ choose Law Enforcement as a field.to go into. One student said it was because hi~ father i5 a police officer. Another student said II was because he likes dealing with people "I have always been intercMed in Law Enforcement, I am wonting 10 do death investigations os soon as I am done with my internship," Derr said.

Tiie major factor for entering the low enforcement licld according to most srudcntS is because the field is so broad and is alway~ changing. There i~ ne\'er the ~e ex3Ct case and it never gctS old.
