Demographics of NIC student body released

by J eff Selle Stt1tl11tl Reportu A demographic breakdown of 1993 student enrollment has been compiled by the admissions office to provide be11er understanding of the type of student growth NIC is faced with this year.

Kirk Koenig, dean of admissions and David Lindsay. dean of students, have prepared o complete breakdown to present at 1onigh1's Boord of Trustees meeting.

The repon is designed 10 provide "a better understanding of the college and the type of srudents that enrolled this year." Koenig said, adding that, one of the main concerns was to find out how mlllly of the new students were from the five nonhem counties.

The rcpon says out of the 1,318 new Idaho students, 918 of them nre Kootenai County residents, which tops the lis1 for the five nonhcm counties.

Bonner Co1rn1y srudents come in second with 157 enrolled, third is Shoshone County with 111 new s1uden1s, Benewah County comes in founh with 46 new students and trailing the pack was Boundary County with 26 students.

Bnrollmcnt by the top five majors is also listed in the study with general studies or ·undecided" topping the lis1 at 61 S s1uden1s out of the total enrollment.

Pre-nursing majors came in second at 228 s1uden1s.

The median age of the enrolled nudcnts is 2 years old. The mean age, however, is 27 years old.

Eighteen 10 24-year-olds make up 57. I percent of the total student population.

Students between 25 and 29 years of age

make up the second iowcs1 percentage at 9.7 percent.

To the contrary, the 10-year span between 30 10 39-year-olds makes up the second largest group at 15.4 percent of the student population.

Then the group between between 40 and 49-ycars-old goes back down to 9.9 percent. The SO-and-up group makes for the smallest group on campus at 7.9 percent.

Enrollment by sex breaks down with 40.9 percent of the student body being male. Females make up 58.1 percent, and a striking I percent of the student body reponed as "unknown."

Out or the 536 students from the high school class of 1993, only 77 or 14.4 percent had a Grade Point Average of 3.50 or bcner.

The highest percentage or grnduaces had a GPA of 2.50 and 2.99 at 29.7 percent. Followed closely by 25 percent of the graduates at a GPA of2.00 to 2.49.

The founh highest percentage or 23.3 perceo1of graduates scored a 3.00 to 3.49 GPA. Out or the t01al college enrollment broken down by ethnic groups. the white student is clearly the highes1 01 92 percent.

This is followed by 4 percent who are unknown or refused 10 answer. Native American population is thlrd a1 1.4 percent. Hispanic is next at 1.2 percent of the student body. Theo international at .8 percent or 26 students. Asian or Pacific Island students make up .4 percent.

"Shnntau was president, this guy was in on uncontested office with seven votes for him and none against. If you you didn't vote. you don't hnve a right to complain."

Manis said.

This year. Manis said, the board has had problems in bringing everyone toge1her as a team and that they have had difficulty finding a time for everyone to get 1oge1her and talk things out.

Among !he tilings the college asked lhc lcgisla1ors 10 obtain for them were removal of the 1ui1ion cap.

Coeur d'Alene City Hall Building into Lee Hall.

"After we found out that this was not a conference to debate the rights or wrongs of homosexuality, but in part was to give parents some help in dealing with children who may or may not be homosexual, then we fell that this is something that might be appropriate," Benneu said.

Bennett added that the college supports the idea of a forum based on a variety of topics. no matter how controversial.

The college has a responsibility to the students and to take the necessary precautions to ensure student safety will be taken, according to Bennett ' TI1erc have been no requests to acknowledge a specific gay or lesbian student population, but Benneu said he would assume there nre people on campus who are gay, given the amount of students.

Robert Bennett participaled in events staged on campus but Although Bennett said he believes that it is unusual for the school to sponsor them, with the exception of,sporting events or theater presentations.

The idea of the conference was originally tabled at an Administrmivc Council meeting several months ogo due to the lack of specifics available.

That is when the council decided it needed more information

Bennett stated he feels thot two people of the same sex who show affection in public situations have to know that they will be facing difficulties and that "they're couning fate," "It's certainly not fair that people of the srune sex. in a sense, could not show affection toward each other, at least in their

Gang growth topic draws concerned crowd

by MorkAoron Perry Smtintl Rtportu

Arca residenls arc ahead in preparing for the emerging problem of gangs in the Coeur d'Alene area, according to Tom Wright, director of Orange County Juveni le Hall.

Michael Schumacher. Orange County California chief probation officer along with Wright spoke nt a gang awareness meeting Oct. 7 in the NIC auditorium.

The time was spent talking about gang problems in Cnlifornin, and how Kootenai County ~idents can prevent the Cocurd' Alene area from bocoming thAt severe. They told warning signs thnl could help indicate a gang member. Gong members wear the same colors; most of them also have touoos. which are handmade by the gang's tauoo anist and show that gong's logo, Wright said.

Schumacher said that gang members are also proud of who they are. ff anyone asks if they belong to a gang, they will admit it. They want everyone to know that t11ey belong to n gang so their name will be known.

The biggest way gang members get their name out is by way of graffiti. Wright compared gnng graffiti to a newspaper. He explaintd that it's 1heir way of advertising. People who do this are called taggers.

These "taggers" post their nnmes on any wall, billbonrd. street sign or park bench where other gang members will read it. According to Cnlifomill lnw, it is illcgnl to purcha$e spray paint if under the age of 18,

so they steal most of their supplies.

Wright said the reason for the taggers' publ icity is 10 become another type of graffiti artist called a piecer. Piecers are the more colorful artists. who take between one to two hours to paint more of a mural type graffiti.

This is whnt marks that particular gang's tenitory. Since this type of space is limited, gaining this "piecer" status is difficult to achieve. Other gangs are warned t.o stay out of that area if they see another gang's name or logo.

If someone were 10 enter this marked tenitory. they could get beat up, stabbed or shot. Wright explained this u;unlly doesn't happen to other gnngs. but to innocent people who are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The main point Slfcssed was this is n problem which involves the whole community, not just Jaw enforcement officials.

Problems start right within families. Wright encouraged parents to talk to their children about gangs and 10 point out signs 10 watch for that could indicate a leaning toward gang involvement. Changes of friends, negative changes in school and work. refusing to follow family rules such as chores. changes in hair style or walk and drawing of graffiti on notebooks were n few of the things mentioned.

Wright was very impressed with the I00 concerned residents who turned out. He said this area is fo.r ahead of wbere Oronge County should havt been IO years ago.

'The Californians always fire back with the old stand-by excuse "Bui we bring money into the community with an otherwise depressed economy." The only people 1hn1 your money is helping ou1 nre the two groups who needed it the lea:.1 lo b<:gin with ....... the real cs1a1c people and business owners.

The locals 1akc lhe brunt of 1he Californians move here nnd tha1's ll1e only thing that's depressing. We have lost tl1e opponunity 10 pursue 1he American dream of owning a home and raising our children in a safe, wholesome en,•ironmcnt. I think I speak for most of the locnls when I say we were much happier and belier off before the Californians decided 10 come and save our economy for us.

All 1hey are doing is bringing the problems, that they nil want 10 escape, wi1h !hem 10 Idaho. All of a sudden Coeur d'Alene has gong probltms, crncl.. cocaine problems, overcrowding, parking problems and a huge rise in violcn1 crime$. Is this just a coincidence? I don' t think so.

111c lack of these problems wns n big part of whal made Nonh Idaho a great place 10 live in and raise our children. ll's become increasingly difficuh 10 even enjoy our own natural outdoor beauty because it's being cxploi1ed and over-run by more and more out.siders. h's no1 jus1 the geographic area 1ha1 they're from that locals oppose. i1·s their "I'm beuer than everyone" auitude and their total lack of councsy 10 other humans. You can spot them all over town. They bump into you at the stores whhout so much ns an c~cuse me: they drive around like they are 1hc only ones on 1hc road and arc completely oblivious 10 lmflic rules. I cnll it just plain rude. Californians basically act like they think they' re some kind of royally and the locals arc just peons and peasants who hnd bcner gel ou1 of the wny or gc1 run over.

They have comple1cly ruined the rental and home owners markets for 1he locals and laugh all the way 10 the bank about it. They not only sell their tw?"-bedroom bungalows in the Golden S1a1e for mega-bucks and buy a nicer home here, they buy several homes and jack up 1he rental prices so high as only other Californians can afford them. The locals are being pushed oul because we still earn Idaho wages bu1 have 10 compele with wcahhy Californians. tr anyone has 1he right 10 gripe ..... I do. I' m not only a native of Nonh ld?ho, as _my grand~arent.s were, but my family helped homestead pan of this Stille 1~ Jerome m Jerome County.

My c~1tdren deserve the same opportunities at a good life in our community 1ha1 my ancestors once had, and they probably won't get it because of 1hc greedy. uncaring a11i1udc.s of our equal but wcjllthier Californian neighbors.

Coeur d'Alene was awarded "All-American" city status just a few yeais ago. Unfonunately this award came about 10 yean too late and not at all for lhc younger locals in our area.

Editorial

Gay rights and beyond The whole gay rights thing is beginning 10 get ou1 of hand. II has gone way beyond jus1 a qucsiion of rnorali1y and become a quC$lion of human decency ond righ1s.

Obviously, nil human beings deserve to be judged with the same set of s1andnrds and deserve equal rights. However the homosexual community seems 10 1hink 1ha1 it needs "special rights" concerning some1hing that has absolutely no business being judged by anybody and 1ba1's sexual preference.

In today's more educaied and liberal society, and especially on a college campus. few people really care whether you nre gay or not. Society is realiiing 1h01 there is an ever growing gny community and 1h01 1hey nrc regulnr people. The altitude seems 10 be more of a who cnrC$ wh111 your sexual preference is because it doesn't belong outside your bedroom nnyway.

Why docs the gay community do everything ii can 10 stand out and complain all 1he while that gays jus1 wan t 10 be treated like everyone else?

We ll, most everyone else doesn't feel a need 10 lei the world know what goes on in lhe privacy of 1heir own homes and want special treatment because of ii.

Stop bringing auen1ion 10 the fact 1ha1 you are gay and focus on being humnn.

There arc gay conferences and convcoiions focusing on equal treatment. There is a National Gay Weck, gay bars, all gay parades and even the Gay Olympics. Why can't the gay community just be a part of the human race instead of thinking their sexual preferences malce lhem different? Why can' t

1hcy be a pnn of lhc human pnrodes and 1akc part in 1he human Olympics? At last glance, all homosexuols arc human beings and unless we're invaded by gay aliens, they will remain 1h01 way.

1l1cre has been talk of minori ty srntus for gays, special scholarships for gays and all gay groups on campus having 1hcir own organization just like honor society students have Phi Theuo Kappa.

Sexual preference shouldn't go outside the privacy of your own home period, and preference of anything is certainly not an e~cuse for special 1rca1mcn1.

If so, then anyone who isn't n part of the majority and has a preference should get their own group. For instance maybe a Toe-sucking Club for those 1h01 prefer that or a club for Cleveland Indians fans. who are certainly a minority. Get the point?

Certainly people don't deserve to gel physically abused or harassed because they arc gay. It's nobody' s busine.'ls if you're gay or no1. but unfortunately there a.re groups of neanderthal subhumans in the world 1ha1 look for any reason 10 harass people whether it' s because of !heir skin color or because they are nerds or gay or dress weird or whatever. Basically, anyone who is different.

The bonom line is that gays aren·1different from other people other than who lhey pre.fer 10 be intimate with. Sex is a personal and private matter and should be kept that way........ private!

Letters/ Opinion

Thursday, October 28, 1993

Sexual harrassment: It goes both ways Ediror: I read with inren:st the opinion of Jolene Green in the l11St issue or the Senrinel ns she discussed sexual harassment. I think there are several things about Jolene's comments which bear a bit more scrutiny.

Jolene seams to make the assumption lhat because she is a woman and a mn, she"s differcnr from a man who also considers himself a mn. Sorry Jolene. If you flirt on the job it is just as much a case of sexual harassment as if a man were doing it. As the old saying goes, 'The pot shouldn't call the keule black."

In the working environment. there is no appropriate place for a flirt! Jolene may think that there is a significant gap between being a flirt and being a harasser but in the work environment, the line is pretty thin. I believe most employees will say that flirtation by nil sexes is inappropriate, or at least uncomfonable, when in evidence on the job. The line between flination and harassment is becoming greyer and more narrow all the time.

At this time, it seems the couns only consider sexual advances or comments as harassment if they are viewed

by the person receiving the auention as unwelcome. This doesn't make the act nny less unnerving to those observing the harassment, but somoone cannot cloim sexual homssment unless the unwanted action or words are directed ot him or her. In shon, you can't claim sexual harassment for someone else. As this issue is funher evaluated by the couns, I suspect a broader inrerpretation or harassment will unfold.

Lastly. many of those reading the Sentinel nre beyond the 'jailbait" age about which Jolene writes in her article.

Marriage and children don't change any or the harassment issues. It mane.rs not if someone is 16 years old or 60 years old. I believe one will find that most of those who have experienced sexual harassment were well pa.st the "jail bait" agent the time of their "experience."

Sorry to burst Jolene's bubble, but younger women like herself are not the only ones who gcr rhe "come on."

Many P<,'<>ple arc being confronted with this problem.

It's sobering, but from what I've read, most of the perpetrators of sexual harassment view themselves as harmless flins,just like Jolene!

Rolly Jurgi ns, NIC De.in or Administration

Quote: Student requests correct comments Editor: Please educate your reporters on the imponance of quoting people correctly. The comment n1tributed to me in the Oct. 15 issue of rhc Sentinel is completely incorrccr. J dld comment on the fairness or equality of the registration process. In fact, the registration process at NIC is nothing more than an unnecessary pain in the oss. There is a bener way. Please look to another school for guidance, perhaps the Universi1y of Idaho, whose process is much beuer and excludes ony preferential trearment.

My comment was that the purpose of a college was acndcmics and that spons should be considered an extracurricular activity. The purpose of any college is the

pursuir of a higher education; this is reflected in tl1e longstanding traditions of universities and colleges and in every mission statement they proclaim. funhennorc, I did no1 say 1ha1 athle1ic:s were ··se1 above,'' nor did I indicnrc that athletics :iirc not as imponant as academics. because for many people tl1cy nre just as imponnnt. Spons should nor, however, be t11e priority of a college and i1s administration.

I appreciate the oppor1uniry to voice my opinion in the news media, but please be sure ii is my voice in which you quote.

The other side of the California coin gets equally flipped Whether or not you want Californians to pack up and get out of Nonh Idaho, this article is just for you. h's a word to the wise and the roolish Odon'I discriminate) before ignorance sets in so deep it'll take a root canal to get it out! And that'll be without anesthesia.

While many of you natives and others that claim this lond as yours run around crying. moaning and dragging the Golden State people's name through the din to any poor soul that will lisren (or pretend 10), you're ncglecring the real issues thnt surround this so-called cxodu~.

For some reason of stupidity or nnothcr you guys (gals 100) think that the Cali bunch is here to buy up and destroy t.his beautiful area that God hllS blessed abundant ly. All the Keith Husband while willingly remaining blind to the big picture out of sheer Opinion unaduhem1ed ignorance.

Allow me to cnlighl(rt you some (if 1hn1·s OK with you).

Your first complai n! ~should go 10 !he locnl govemmcni and business owners who are selling '"your land"' off auction style.

Some of them even hove the nc:rvc to be advenising in other states with some pretty lengthy catalogues about what the great Nonhwest hns to offer and sell! l)on'l be surprised to sec your propeny ancVor hou~e listed, by mistake of course. And while you run around looking for n shoulder to cry on, they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Realtors. contractors. restaurant and store owners, travel agencies, hotel and reson owners and the like are all in on it.

Oh. it doesn't appear to be w, but the love of the dead presidents has taken control.just like Jesus said ir would. And of course they make out to be on your side and they are: your back side! You know the game. Smile in your face and picl. your pocket when you tum around. I'm convinced that so many of them are double-minded that the only things 1h01 they can afflJlll assuredly is t11eir bank account numbers and the balances within them.

Here's something else you famous potato people need to comprehend (and I hope you can). It takes guts to move here.

And when we do, we don't need any of your peny problems.

There's too much on our minds as it is. Housing. jo~. l>Chool, children and getting tha1 rental truck back on time! Do you think we' re up for dealing with some snobbish neighbors that can't get over their own personal pride trips to lend a hand? Beller yet, just leave us alone so we can get the job done timely? Nape, you"d rather bother us about license plates or tell us 10 lie about where we're from. Grow up.

It seems to me that with all the great things to do around here you would have a hobby. This seems to consume 100 much of your time. Quit worrying about things that don't matter and do something constructive for a change. Why don't you try writing a lener to someone you haven' t talked to in quite a while or spending time with your family. Even belier, invite those neighbors over and show them some ·•nonhem hospllality.'"

Then if you still don't like 'cm. just smile.wave and go about your own way.

Dear Diary: Opening performance tonight!

by MorkAoron Perry Se111i11tl Reporter

eople of all different ages and acting experience.( will pcrfom1 in NIC's production of "The Diary of Anne Frank," which opens night in Boswell Hall.

A gre:it deal or time and effon has gone into tlu~ production a.~ the cast has been rchean.ing five dnys n wee~ since mid·Scptembcr.

The pan of Anne will be pluyed by NIC sophomore and theater major Tmccy Benson. Denson has been in "Grocelund." She nlso played Belinda in "Noises Off," and Maud Miu in "A Couple of White Chicks Sitting Around Talking." a play thnt she also produced. This is the biggest role Benson has pla)ed und she said she is taking it very seriously.

"Everyone needs to know what people went through during World War lJ and I warn to be able to ponrny Anne - - - - - - - - - - - as she really felt, and she re.illy tived:· Benson said.

Benson said she doesn't have much trouble relating to Anne because some of Anne's characteristics reflect on her life when she wa.~ that ngc. Her relationship with Peter relat.cs to some of her fir.;t dotes, she said.

She also admits being rebellious to her mother nt that age.

Melissa Ulml>Topp. o 15-year-old Coeur d'Alene High School student, who will play Anne's sister Margot. has given up homecoming and olher high school social events to be in this play.

The fact that she·s working with older cast members has been challenging and a great learning experience. she said.

Lamb-Topp has had some experience working in community theater in such pcrformanee5 as "Annie" and "Cheaper By The Dozen," but this is lhc most professional play she has been making her cenain she wants to act as a career. she said.

Mr. Fr:ink is played by Edward Comachio or

He describe.~ the play as being emotional and says playing his character has been an emotional experience.

By his rclauon~hip with his fnmily he feel~ a real tenderness there.

"In the sense that I father two daughters (off stage), it makes it easier for me 10 relate to Anne," he said.

Jon Kelley from Post Falls had a Inter stnn in his acting life.

"It's one thing I've always wamed to do but had never ta~cn the photo by Erin Siemers steps to accomplish it.''

Most or these are done back stage and some while the sophomore. is one or three people working with props.

Hamilton has done some acting as well. She to was in "'O! fig.his are dim. Rarick said on Brood way a cunain is Pioneers,"' where she played tl1c pan of"Milly." dropped down which makes these changes much ca~ier.

Idaho native Carol Farley !hen look 1he stage 10 accompany lhe third piece, "Si, Mi Chiamano Mimi" from Giacomo Puccini's "La Boheme."

Farley's ominous voice and Sercbricr's conducting enchan1cd the audience wilh beau1y and emotion. A subtle harp was heard lhroughou1 tbc piece which added even more sentiment 10 this !ouching movement.

The fifth selec1ion, Tchaikovsky's "Andan1e Can1nbi le," mndc 1he cn1irc cveni11g worth while TI1is Russinn movemcn1, which relied upon u 1cmpo crca1cd by the acoustic bass, bonded the differnn1 insirumcnlS 1ogc1hcr in perfect hannony 10 crea1c an cxquisi1c trea1 for 1he ear. Sercbrier should n:ceivc high mMks for his conlribu1ion 10 1his piece.

Farley 100k !he singe again for lhe sixth selcc1lon, Giuseppe Verdi's "Ah! fors' Jui/Sempre libero" from "La Travia1a." Her sen1imental voice combined wi1h the

aud ience cheering for an encore, which 1hcy were happily gran1ed.

The encore piece, "Summertime" from George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess." featured more of Serebrier's conducting excellence and a somewhal muled FMley. The scn1imcntal harp was again audible 1hroughou1 !he movement, and combined wilh lhe scnsitivicy of the music, made for qui1e a moving encore.

The second half of the concert was qui1e a disappointmen1 in comparison 10 the firs! half.

Unlimiled Demand, a four-piece band, provided 1he music for the res! of lhc evening. After heari ng a full orchestra, a four-piece band just didn'1 sound ns good.

Besides the musical se1back, an obnoxious Ann Fennessy look the s1age to punish the audience wilh shoddy renditions of "Under Ilic Boardwalk" and olhcr show iunes. Fennessy, a choir direc1or at SI. Mark's Lulhernn Church in Spokane, seems 10 need some additional choral directing herself.

A sligh1ly more 1alen1cd Roben Newman 100k lhe singe 10 swoon the audience wi1h his bari1one medley of 'smile' songs: "The Shadow of Your Smile,'' "Smile" and "When You're Smiling." Newman's voice and persona were much more appealing.

Then concert hos1ess Ka1herine Damiano. who is o bcner singer lhnn hos1ess, c11me on singe 10 sing a few Andrew Lloyd Webber songs ond a Don Gibson song.

TI1en Newmon joined Damiano 10 perform a "Love Rcla1ionship Medley."

When 1.hc display of sappy soap opera emo1ions of Newman und Damiano was over, n dance review was performed by the Jone1 Wilder Dancers. Mier a short dance, 1hey wuhud NIC presiden1 Bob Benncn. cancanned Sieve Schenk and 1angoed Dex1er Yn1es on s1age for !heir official introductions.

All in all. ii was a dftcn1 evening and an imponnn1 one ns well: anyone who is anyone in Coeur d' Alene nuendcd lhis concert. After all, everybody knows tha1 a 60th anniversary need no1be missed.

NewrEditor Three ye4n, ugo, Ryan Collins, nn NlC electrical engineering mojor. had no idea he would be 1akihg on the <lllunting wk of organi1jng the Loke City Playhouse's Haunted House.

Collins originally got involved in the local theater group through their youth organiz.alion, during the spring of 1991 when be volunteered to belp out in the production of a play rncnnt 10 introduce Mudents into the lheall:r cxperitnce, und misc funds for the renovation of the seats in the aging auditorium or the Coeur d'Alene Community Theawr. ''The wor.:1pru1 wos wearing a heavy rubber m_ask for several hours.'' Collins said adding, u1eajoycd lhe crowd and the other actors u1ough. so I kept at it."

That fall, Collins partJcipaled in the Haunted House l.luu the lhealllr group sponsored.

"That was wheo Jennifer Kosareff was in charge oflhe fund-raiser, :ind I mainly just hel~ build the sets and keep everybody in their assigned spots." Collins said. "f played Ilic pan of a mad d001or. and spent my weekends during October jumping our from behind a blood-covered refrigerator aod screaming."

Collins ulso added that he tried 10 get just the right effect for bis area by collecting scraps of bone ood fat from the meat processing plant next door.

The following year led 10 n number of changes for the Haunted House. first the theater changed its name 10 tl1e Lokc Ci1y Playhouse, new manngcmen,took,oventDd Kosarer:r was 100 busy to organize the Haun1cd House. lhc old Tidy01J1n's building f ~ was occupied and Colli ns had found himself • • • ,iJ deep!y involved in the technical aspects of theater.

It rocks hard, that's the 'concrete' truth

by John M, Myers Stntinel RtpOrttr J truly despise 1he company of poseurs. Pearl Jam, bul lhe release of their la1es1 Magnum Dopus has been mosl efficacious 10 1his Concrc1e Blonde fan. P.J. raised shoulder high by 1he Jnasport-Birkenstocks crew (known 10 some as Pea· brains). received their very own midnigh1 release pnrty a1 a local - - - - - - - - , rt'cord srore. Pearl Jam's liming was l.nlly impeccable.

Oc1. 19 also happened 10 be the release of Concre1e Blonde's ln1es1 work called "Mexican Moon."

The veteran Los Angeles rock bnnd seems 10 have been very busy. "Mexican Moon" clocks in ni 63 minu1es-1heir longest effon ye1 ou1 of five albums. In 1986 they started ou t as a quane1, bul 1he band's lineup has changed with each album. or 1he four founding members. only gui tarist James Mankey remains. Now a trio, Mankey and singcr\songwriter Johneue Napali1ano were joined by Paul Thompson from Wnll or Voodoo afler the 1990 album "Bloodlening."

The Blondes' previous ou1ing. "Walking in London," was a major departure from 1heir firsl 1hree releases.

Where before they were punk and lyrically and musically dark, suddenly we saw their lighl side. Lead singer Napalitano was suddenly happy sounding, and as a resuh, I was unhappy. She always had a knack of wri1ing true, bru1ally honest songs wi1h lyrics 1h01 read

like poetry. II was much more 1hon sulking pi1cous lyrics found in coun1ry music. Nnpalilano would use rock as her catharsis, her way of healing.

Concerning love, she had no illusions. On 1he "Bloodle11ing" album she cited love os "...1he beas1 sucking you up/ Love is the vampire drunk on you r blood./ Love is 1hc crca1ure who lives in the dark.I

Sneaks up, will slick you and painfully pick you apart."

Wi1h 1heir 1ypii:nlly row ins1rumen1a1ion they of1en crea1ed chilling music 1ha1 was lyrica ll y haun1 ing. On lhcir 1986 debu1 album they covered George Harrison's "Beware or Darkness" and did a sple ndid job of ii.

Released in 1992, "Walking in London" renec1ed a new Napalirnno. The firs1 single was a humorous 1ale of an encounter wi1h a ho1el's spiri1 tilled "Ghos1 of a Texas Ladies Man." Up 10 1ha1 poin1, the songwdtcr never showed her humorous side. "Someday," the second single, was.a ra1her bouncy dilly about a scpara1cd couple and 1hc dream of a reunion. Jus1 a linle 100 happy for traditional Concrele Blonde. The album s1ill had 1he honest. au1obiogrnphical feel. bu1 the pain was gone . .11 was as if Johneue Napolitano had exorcised all of ~1er demons. In a hum ani1arian way you hod 10 be happy for the gal. She hod been 1hrough a 101. She sang abou1 pain so well 1hough ii was sad 10 see her change.

The goodbyes were in vain, for "Mexican Moon" bares all or 1he angs1 and suffering-sci-lo-music of their firsl three albums. The most dis1urbing 1rack is "Jones1own." II recou nts 1hc horror or 1hc Jonestown massacre; then the si nger goes on to sing how 1he occurrence 1ain1ed her view of organized religion. The track "Close To Home" is Napnlirnno musing obou1 regions of the plane! she visi1cd and enjoyed.

"Mexican Moon" reiums 10 1hc slow-di rge 1ha1 gave Concrclc Olondc i1s repu1a1ion of hard Go1hic rock. II is well timed for lhe llallowcen season, especially wi1h Napnliiano's Mexican Day of the Dcnd skcleion cover.

by Ryon Bronson Sports Editor The Cardinal cross country ream has finally showed some of ilS potential by faring well last weekend nt the annual North Idaho College Invitational at Avondale Golf Course. NlC will travel 10 Twin Falls for the Region 18 Championships on Nov. 6.

Coach Mike Dundy was especially impressed with the cffons of sophomore Kathy Fuchs.

Fuchs has been sidelined for most of the season, but last Sa1urday she ran her best lime lhis year.

The Cardinals have s1ruggled since the beginning of the season. mainly because they haven't been able 10 field a complc1ely heallhy 1eam.

With Fuchs back. NIC would be able to haven competitive women's team. But now it seems I.hat its No. I runner for most of the se-0son. Chari Aeschli man, may be out for the rest of the season.

On Saturday. Sch~l ran his best time of the season and was the highest pincer for NIC. Munday finished ahead of the rest of the Cardinals the week before at the Eastern Washingtoo University Invitational.

Scheel said he wasn't sure how tough the competition would be at regionals.

"Pete said tha1 the competition at region:lls is pretty tough, so I have my work cut out for me," Scheel srud.

Munday finished second on Saturday.

Lisa lifi edged Fuchs by one second for 12th place in the mcel. Sunshine Rayfield finished 21st nnd Emily Key finished 30th.

Scheel was 15th, Mundny was 21st, David Way was 26th. Declan Murphy was 27th and Mike Criswell was 29th for the Cruds.

Athletic money shouldn't be a controversy It's time I put my two cents wonh in about how much money the athletic departments in this state receive.

Before I give my opimon. though. I want it to be known lhat I've alrendy hc.ird both sides of the story. especially the side of lhe story I'm about to criticize. so don, write me a letter telling me your side. l\·e already heard it.

This nrticlc is not for the people that think acndcmics should get more money. becaU$C I ogrcc I00 percent.

This nrticle is for the people that think the athletes get too much money. l·or those of you that think the athletes get too much money io scholnrships, housing. etc., I only have one thing to ~ay. Stop whining.

The biggest argument l Opnon hear is that if the athletic depanment gets all this dough. why shouldn't academics get the same treatment.

It comes down to accomplishments. Students that deserve scholnrships, get scholarships. Students that don't. don't.

That's only one way to look at the siluation. !hough.

The main reason I think people rue whining too much is lhat people should be happy to give someone a chance 10 get an education. The academic s1udents thnt would cam additional scholarships are surely sman enough to figure out a way 10 get thier education. If they don't hove lhe money, financial aid will more than pay the price of admission and books.

I'm not trying to upset anyone orr. but people are starving in Chinn and less people are complaining to me about the kajillions of dollars spent on other crap the government gives 10 itself.

Cards bid lor regionals ends

by Jolene Green Se111inel Reporrer

The NIC volleyball team suffered a disappointing loss to the College of Soulhcrn Idaho last Friday and destroyed any chance of qualifying for lhc Region 18 Tournament.

"We just never got into rhythm." coach Bret Taylor said. "We got off balance, and without good serves and blocks. we never quite got it together."

The Cnrdinnls Jost to CSI 15-9, 15-4, 12-15, 15-9 at Christianson Gymnasium. The match was a must win for NIC if lhe women were to have any chance of competing in po~tscnson.

The loss dropped the Cardinals' record to 2-3 in league and a 27 -12 overall.

Taylor praised the effons of Jamee A1hburn and Bclh Palmer, who did a great job filling the shoes or Ashburn as setter in the tl1ird and founh games.

NIC reserves Debbie Deering and Lynn Heimg:irtncr came in and contributed in games three and four.

According.to assistant coach John Jensen, the Cnrdinals lost momentum by lening themselves get behind in the first two games.

"We p13ycd a good match, but we fell behind and couldn't get it going again," Jensen said.

The athletes were also upset about tlte Joss.

"We were very disappointed," sophomore back row specialist Karri Miller said. "Our hearts were into it, and it's hard to lose o game like that."

NlC got pressure from CSl's 6-foot, 3-inch Gergana Dimiuova, who led CSI with 19 kills, and 6-4 blocker Amber Mc[;wen, who finished the match witJ1 15 kills.

TI1e Cnrdinnls ployed three other matches last week, tramplingovcrColumbin Bnsin 16-18.15-8, 15-l I, 15- I. Walla Walla Community College 15-8. 15-3, 15-12 and Yakima Community College 15-7, 15-5. 15-10.

potential," middle blocker Pam Ashmead said.

Potential, indeed. This year's team has already made history.

"With only nine frc~hmnn and three sophomores. we will have well over 30wins by the end of this season, which is NIC's best record ever." Taylor said. "We've made history and I CXJX.'Cl good thing~ next year."

NIC has beaten Utah Valley, the NJ CAA ·s founh-rnnked team, on two separate occasions and Ricks. ranked 19th, once. The win against Ricks was the Cardinals' first triumph over the Vikings in 19 years.

The CSI loss may hove ended NIC's postseason hopes, but it didn't end the ~a.~on. The Lady Cards ploy at the Ml. Hood Classic in Oregon this weekend.

NIC will play tl1e Community College of Spokane on Tuesday and then travel to Rexburg to battle Ricks in the Cards Inst game of the year.

And then, an opening. Taylor filled in for former intramural director Scott Peterson. Soon, it was obvious that Taylor was the man for lhe job.

"Right now, I love my job," Taylor said, "We're always changing the intramural program and it's improving."

,a'• Doctors, bainers look

11 • for suffering athletes

by Sally Anthony Sentinel Reportr:r "Sudden death syndrome," n rare hcan condition in athletics, took Hank Gathers in 1990, Reggie Lewis in '93, and possibly someone you knew before, after or in be1wecn. While doctors struggle 10 quickly and accumtcly diagnose the disease, trainers und college medical personnel try 10 anticipate who may be affected.

Cris Griffin, 18, a forward on the NlC bnske1ball 1.:am, remembers when hearing of Reggie Lewis death: "We all talked aboul i1. Some of us even wondered ir 1h01 could have been us."

'This seems 10 happen 10 some young person every yc;ir. You hc.ir aboul it happening 10 one of the football players or someone, all 1hc time," said Rolly Williams, NIC athle1ic dircc1or and bnske1ball coach. "I have a head trainer who wa1ches out for these things."

Williams was referring 10 Randy Boswell, NlC's ccnified trnincr.

Boswell, who has o master's degree in physical education, has passed rigorous cenilication courses 10 become a credentialed trainer. He relics on his evaluations and referrals from Williruns to spo1 players who may have physical problems as well ns exruninntions done by Linda Michals. the college nurse practitioner.

Boswell and Michals keep a close watch for athle1es experiencing diuiness, shonncss of breath, fainting or abnormally rapid pulse mies.

Michals listens to hean and lung sounds for abnonnaJi1ies, 1akes blood pressure readings and may do an elcclf'OCllfdiogrnm (EKG), which makes o graph of the body's own electrical energy as it travels across the hean.

"No one is showing signs this yenr, bu1 if I become suspicious of a problem, then I would probably c.ill Dr. Richard Bell, who

is 1he college physician. Another option would be to have the person seen by Anilll Robinson, who is a cardiologis1," Michals said.

A family his1ory of hean problems can be a concern 10 Michals and Boswell. ln a New York Times anicle released shonly after Lewis' death. it was reponcd tho1 he hod concealed that his mo1her, Inez, hnd suffered from heart problems beginning a l age 17. He had reponed to his doc1or tha1 one of his 1wo brothers had undergone hean surgery, bu1 omi lled the information that he had been diagnosed with a hcan munnur when he wns a child.

A good history is imponant, Boswell said, and stoled that he would refer nthlctcs with hean rhythm problems 10 Dr. David Oakes at the Hean Tnsthutc in Spokane.

Dr. Oakes practices primarily through Sacred Hean Medical Cen1cr, bu1 four other physicians who specialize in detection of fatal hean rhythms practice 01 Deaconess Medical Center. Both hospilals have the equipmem needed to perform electrophysiology studies (EPS) on patients who have undergone preliminary testing through their own physician's offices.

According to Kim Davis, who heads 1he Deaconess heart lab, most or their patien1s are either under 20 or over 50 years old.

Many of 1hc tests arc done on an ou1patient basis.

One of the tests uses radio waves 10 try 10 make 1he hean go in too deathproducing rhythm, Davis says. 'These condi1ions are highly controlled, so it's no1 r.:ally dangerous.

We've been doing these 1esLS for 11 years nnd no one has ever died from them," he explained.

Another 1es1 coiled n Holler moni1or can be used during exercise. This moni1or allows EKGs 10 be performed for hours or even days.

Reggie Lewis doc1ors were planning 10 put a Holier monitor on him during a game 01 the time thnt he died.

Although tha1 wouldn'1have prevented his death, it migh1 have provided enough informntioo for an nccura1e diagnosis, Davis said.

According 10 news sources, Lewis had altready undergone many exercise stress tests, which involve the pa1ien1 having an EKG done while walking or running on a treadmill or using an aerobic step exerciser.

There have been no repons that EPS testing was ever done on Lewis, but had it been done, the nex1 s1ep migh1 have been the trial or many hean drugs which control

"We all talked about it (Reggie Lewis' death).

Some of us

even wondered if that could have been us."

Idaho hunting under way

by Ken Chrwley Stn1intl Reponer Oc1ober heralds in lhc long awai1ed "l3ig Game..

Panhandle hunting season. The season kicked orr on Oct. 15. and depending oo whether you arc a primitive hunler or conven1ional riOe hun1er, you can hunl in10 December.

The trick here is 10 be oble to decipher lhe Fish and Game regulations and be oble 10 figure out the road sys1em on a BLM map or suitnble substitu1e, if !here is such an animal.

The majori1y of bun1crs are in10 lhe deer and elk seasons. and locally, of course. the Panhandle hunt i.s primary. The deer and elk herd recovery, hunter pressure and lhe wenlher are lhe major factors ll1a1 de1erminc the success or failure of any hunting season, and lhis year all the fac1ors poin110 a productive harvest.

The expense of bunting io Idaho is extremely reasonable unless. of course, you 11re a non-resideni or you hun1 ou1 of a motor home and musl have all the amenities.

Everyone has his or her favori1e hunting spo1, and 1he guarded secrets of a productive area 11re tan1amoun1 10 a blood contracL If you give up the secrel hunting spol, then family outcas1ing may be the outcome.

The Su11e of Idaho is over 1wo-thirds SU11c or federal

land and provides some of the best big-game hunting in lhc Uni1ed S1ates. This is onen a point of con1cnlion with local hunters as they have to co;pete with out-of-stale sponsmen. and feelings can 1end 10 run a linle high. I have run in10 a few of the not so gracious indi viduals tha1 feel Ibey have priority to all the good camping spots and that intrusion into their favori1e hunting ll/'C8 could be cause for the phrase ''Trespassers will be shot." Something to think aboul when everybody in the woods is carrying a gun!

I have bunted all over the state. and for the most part. the people I meet are good sponsmen. They will often give you the lowdown on an area or give you directions. I have been towed out of mudholes and been able 10 buy a couple gallons of fuel when I go1 in a bind.

The Fish and Game regulation book provides 1he basic information that you need to s1ay within the law. They don't tell you abou1 the deer and elk decoys tha1 are sci ou1 to tcsl you. Many crranl hunters driving in10 a hun1ing area have jumped from their vehicle 10 shoo1 a tantalizing trophy standing in a meadow. only to find 1he Fish and Gnme officers hiding in the bushes. A ci1a1ion can mean a fine, time in jail, or 101al confiscation of your vehicle, guns. vehicle contents, and your license.

A word to the wise is 10 enjoy 1he hunting season in Jdnho, but prepare yourself before you head ou1. Know where you are going and what to do when you get there.

Prepare for the worst, and always let someone know where you nre supposed to be and when you will relum. If i_....:=~=...::..;:;:::.:.:::.=..;=:..;.;.;:-'----'---~-...o.:,.-__, you pack ii in. then pack it out.

Problem people lose parking permit's benefits by l\larkAt1ron Perry Senrintl Reportu /\J1 obscene message was found on the temporary parking perrni1 of 4 Mazdn RX7 parked in !he Sl3ff parking lot behind Lee Hall Ins! Thursday.

NIC sophomore Darrol Bischof was issued many peop D temporary permit for a nigh1 real we have estate appraisal class and was using problems it to park during his day classes. He TIiey won't parked in fron1 or a sLllff parking sp:ice purchase a but lcfl !he back of permit or they his car hanging out in the road. jtN park N!Cpark.ing orficcr.

According 10 Fredek.ind he parked his car in fron1 or a lire hydrnn1 by the 1ennls court aboul n year ago and docs things like this an overage of four times a year.

'111ere nrc many people we have problems with. They won'1 purchase a permil or they jus1 park illegally," Fredek.ind said. "So far (!his year) he's been the biggest problem we have."

The message on the pcnnit referred 10 Fredckind as the "parking bitch."

She said, â&#x20AC;˘11was very unfair because he doesn't know me and mostly everyone thnt knows me likes me very well."

Frcdckind said people have thrown pine cones,

rocks. and balls of tape a1 her in the p:ist bu1 this is the rll"St nasty note that she has ever received in the history of her working employment u1 NIC. Frcdekind finds It unfair to siudcnts with parking pero1iis thnt he's pnrking in !heir spaces wilhou1 a permit when other studcnis have !hem.

"I apologiz.e if we have upset him in anyway. I jUSt wish he would buy a pcnni1." Frcdckind said adding explained Iha! other s1uden1S as well ns him could save money if they jusl bough1 a permit inslead of spending all l11eir money paying off parking lickeis.

She also explained that l11e S10 buys people more than a parking penni1. When people lock their keys in their car, she can retrieve them if she knows tha1 it is definitely your car. A parking pennit provides that infonna1ion. Fredek.ind said lluu parking ancndams usually do this 1wo 10 three 1.imes a day on an average.

"It sometimes can cos1 up 10 S35 10 have a locksmith come and unlock your car. If you have a permit, I can do ii for free," Frcdekind said. 'There is a definite benefit righ1 there."

Another reason is if a s1uden1 leaves their car lighis on, a parking permit makes tracking a s1udcn1 down more easy. And if things get lost, they can be traced back 10 the SIUdCOl. Frcdcklnd said Bischof and other studenis would be able to take advantage of these services if a parking pennil was displayed in their window.

According to Fredekind. about four years ago parking auendanlS s1aned 10 really crack down on parking violations. ln the beginning l11e s1uden1S reactions were severe bul now s1udenis arc more occustomed 10 the fact 1hn1 they will be ticke1ed if they park illegally. Because of Ibis rcaliuuion. nol mnny incidenis of this kind arc occurring anymore.

"Every year gelS bcucr," Fredek.ind said. 'This is the bes! year we've have hnd as far as Lhesc kind of events occurring."

Street Beat compiled hy Derek Pavone Se111ine/ Reporter

by Michelle Schwend

Sentinel Reporter A marital and date rape guest speaker will be at NIC tonight at 7 p.m. in 1hc Bonner Room or the SUB. uuro X will be spenking on issues pennining 10 lhc social, politicnl, psychological, familial, religious, his1orical, nnd ec-0nomic meaning of date and mari1al rape. A 1wo hour video will be shown that Laura X mode in conjunc1ion wi1h 60 Minules about people and who1 they did to gel help and how you can be aware of 1hc subjec1. A panel consis1ing of David Lindsny {OCllll or S1uden1s). Linda Michal (Campus nurse prnc1i1ioner), Donna Runckey (campus counselor) along wi1h Laura X will engage the audience in an in1eroctive session 10 answer questions and offer advice.

According 10 Tami Hafl in the S1uden1 Services depanmcn1, she will be going over ldruio laws llmt pertain to the subject and will also be discussing ways to go 11bou1 finding help on and off crunpus.

Stated from the National Clearinghouse on Marital and Date Rape. the name uurn X was adop1ed in 1969 because of the anonymi1y of women's his1ory and the concept tha1 women were legally owned by their fathers and husbands. She has dcdica1ed herself10 uncovering women's his1ory since tha1 time.

In 1975 Laura X learned tha1 mari1al rape was noi illegal in t/1e Uni1ed Stales and she began her work 10 stop mari1al and da1e rope in this country. Research proved thal legally marillll rape was allowed in 44 states, cohabitant rape was allowed in 13 states, and date rape in five. Then in 1981-82, Prcsidcnl Reagan signed a no1ionaJ Women's His1ory Week low in10 effect. Because of Laura X's' cffons, in 1987 only 15 slates remained where mnritnl rape was legnl. These figures were received from lhe Notional Clearinghouse on Mariinl and Date Rnpe.

While the school is currenlly getting its finan~ from lhree diffcren1 sources. ii is in the process or searching for a fourth wuroo, nccording 10 Steve Schenk, dean of public rela1ions, and 10 effectively oblain these oddilional funds NlC would require the addition of a new position on the smff.

The position would be known as gran1 writer Schenk said adding thOI if the position is appro,·cd. the pen.on assuming the job would be in charge of actively assessing lhe needs of the insti1ulion. knowing or finding sources for granis and actunlly wri1ing up the grants.

Right now, NlC is receiving funds from the sLnte, local property lllXCS and studen1 tuition and fees, Schenk said and the rc.ison for this position is 10 look ror additional finwicial suppon for NIC because ii is growing so rapidly and the need for more finances is there.

According 10 Schenk. the funding for the new posi1ion would come completely from the ~talc. After I.he initial acceptance of the idea for the new position several moolhs ago by the board of trusiees and the ooministro1ivc council. a n.-quest for the funds w~ submi11ed in accordance with the yearly reques1 for college funds, Schenk said.

The word on approval of the funding from the stote will come in July of '94. Af1cr that, searching for someone to fill !he position would be next on the agenda. Schenk snid.

"We're looking for other ways to pay the bill," Schenk said. "Wc'ru lool.ing for grants as one of those other ways."

Lobbyist lectures students on politics

by Michelle Schwend Sentinel Rtp<Jner Srudenl Unions and Activities A seminar conduc1ed by !he Director of Studenl Union and Activities al BSU, Greg Blaesing, was held Saturday morning at the Idaho S1uden1 Summil 10 discuss the importance of having a good studenl union building.

Blae.sing said 1h01 sludent unions are supposed to be a commonality within the schools' campuses. A union is a building and a program, it is not a place, he said.

"A good union isn't a big building, it is an idea," Blaesing said. "It's a balanced program that would involve s1udent government. an ac1ivities committee, and having the critical services that the campus needs.

Br0wn said 1h01 a union needs 10 provide services, conveniences, and amenities thal the members of the college family need in !heir daily lives on the campus.

Students need 10 feel thal in their union they can gel 10 know and understand each other through informal association ouLSide the classroom. The union is pan of the educational program of the college.

The Associalion of College Unions-International said 1hn1 a Student Union Building needs to be the cen1er of college communily life. The union serves as a laboralory of citizenship, training siudenls in social responsibility and for leadership in our democracy.

Through it's various boards, commiuees, and staff, a SUB provides cultural, social, and recreational programming aimed at making free 1irne activi1y a cooperative fac1or with study in education. In all it's processes it encourages self-direc1ed octivi1y, giving maximum opponunily for self-realiza.Lioo and for growth in individual social compe1ency and group effectiveness.

It's goal is the devclopmenl of persons as well as in1ellec1s.

Br0wn said 01 early universilies studenlS played no role in governments and policy development They s1aned 10 fonn private debating socic1ies 1ha1 mel off campus where !hey would debate the political and social issues of the day. These socielies wan1ed 10 build !heir own facilities and fcll thal doing thal shouldn'l prevcnl them from debaling the days issues. Now 1he 1radi1ion of debating 01 a certain place has been adop1ed.

"Al public insti1u1ions, SUBs arc financed by the s1udcn1s. All lhc building fees, whether you're building a new stadium or a game room in the SUB, have 10 be approved by the Board of Education and presidents can't get that done withou1 the s1udents' support. Activi1ies foes are the domain of the ASB presidenl and 1hey report these 10 the Board," BrOwn said.

According 10 BrOwn, each school has money sel aside 10 use when something concerning the s1udcn1 union needs 10 be done. This is called the universi1y's 'reserve'. The reserve used 1.0 be only money thal could be used for the S1udent Union Buildings but forced accoun1ability now allows that money be used for 01her things such as constructing new buildl ngs, new residence halls or jusl coming up with more student activities.

"When ASB presidents are under financial pressure, there are no incentives 10 be building nny1hing," Bloesing said. "S1uden1 Unions are an equal opportunity operator.

They will discriminalc againsl everyone equally and will 1ake everyone's money," California Based Lobbyist-Donold DrOwn California lobbyisl Donald BrOwn olso came 10 Boise for the Idaho S1uden1 Summit 10 speak 10 the delcgo1c.~

aboul effec1ive ways 10 approach the legisla1ure.

Br0wn hns risen from an impoverished. depression~ra childhood 10 become the s1:ue's top corpor.ue lobbyist He legally changed his name 10 capitalize the third Jeucr in his name because he 1hough1 it would make him more distinguished.

Donald Brown said that there are four things tha1 a real lobbyisl doesn't do. They don't make speeches, they don't gel traffic 1icke1~. 1hey don'I lose bills by one vole, and they never talk 10 the press. ''That's what lobbyists' live their lives by," Br0wn said.

In California !here are about l,033 lobbyist. In 1967 there were 96 of them. There are only a dozen people that do what BrOwn does.

"We are kind of the hired guns of the legisla1ure," BrOwn said.

BrOwn talked aboul how the delegates need 10 depend on each other and how they would be in each others lives for 1he re.st of their lives. He staled thal he wan1ed 10 leave the delegates with n very certain message. He said that if 1hey (delegates) were going 10 continue in a career of politics and if they wanted 10 make an impac1 in 1hat career. they needed friends, and especially fricnds with positions of power.

"That is 1erribly importanl," BrOwn said. ''Toke a look nround nnd remembc:r thnt nil these people are going 10 go ou1and do things. This is a support group 1ha1 you will have forever."

BrOwn encouraged all of 1he delegn1es 10 continue in a careerofpoli1ics. He said that the difference between what you're going 10 learn in school and firs1 hand experience on how politic.~ really work is like night and doy

College delegates gather at Idaho Student Summit

by MJdJeUe Schwend Sentinel Reporter The firsl ldnho S1uden1 Summil conference wa.~ held

in Boise las1 weekend 10 deba1e the mutual challenges faced by lhe 51uden1 governments of ldtlbo's colleges and universities. Represen1atives from North Idaho College, ldnho Stale University. College of Soulhcrn Idaho, Univcrsi1y of Idaho, Lewis and Clark S1n1e College and Boise S1n1c Univc,sily ga1hcred 10 discuss plans for 1he associBted s1udent

bodies. ~ A 101 of work wenl in10 putting lhis 1ogelher," said Associated Students of Boise S1111e Univusity president, CJ Martin.

The primary focus of lhe conference was adopting a S1111cmen1 of Goals which outlined several common objcc1ivcs advoca1ed by each institution. The Goals were drafted by 1hc ASBSU delegates.

The goals were drawn up surrounding issues such as: providing acndcmic and student services. promoting diversily and s1udcn1 rights, and soliciting more s1uden1 involvemcnl in legislative decisionmaking.

'This is a long-1crm document that will serve as an umbrella for us all," said ASBSU Chief of S1aff Mack Sermon.

Idaho State Unhrnlty delegate Francoise Cleveland recognized the benefil of bringing the dclega1ions together, bul said that the issues addressed in I.he Statement of Goals were 100 general.

NWe need 10 really work towards somethi ng specific," Cleveland said.

ASNIC President Christa Manis, said that she lhough1 ASBSU's biggest problem was 1ha1 1hcy wrote I.he Statement of Goals in constitutional form.

"CJ told me that they were drawing up some goals and tha1 we would discuss them at I.he presidents' round table. If there were going 10 be debates, then the goals should have been wrinen up in formalization after the discussion," Manis said.

• NIC and ISU delegates both said they felt thar they didn' t have enough lime to do any research since they goc the papenvort from Mulin only three days before the conference. ,"l woa't aiga the Statement of Goals unless I'm 100 percent sure or what they say," Manis said.

Dar1D1 tbe MCODd IAllDllllt meetlq 10 ratify the S11temca1of Goals, Manis stated that she did noc feel this wu the route that should be Ilka. Sbe said she

e.su

CSI

W11Sn'1 informed of 1he importance of 1he Goals un1il after 1be firsl mec1ing the day before.

Sem1on, the aulhor of 1he S1n1emcn1of Goals. responded 1h01 If the presiden1s didn't wanl to sign the Sta1emcn1, 1hcn thal wa.s fine, but lhey could go back and 1ell 1heir s1udent bodies 1h01 1hey didn'I believe in the s1a1ements lis1ed in the goals.

These statements were: pro1ccting students freedom of speech, press and e-xpression, s1Udcn1 involvemenl, cullural diversity, promo1ing excellence in education and opening 1he halls of govemmcnl 10 student opinion.

"Everything wriuen in the documcm will express our in1en1," Martin said.

Debate over the document continued for more than nn hour. Several delegales wamcd 10 amended certain scc1ions of 1he S1atemcn1 of Goals, and allhough Sermon did agree wi1h some changes, he also argued agoins1 many of lhem.

"Usually we (NIC) I don' t gel to vole because we are only a junior college bu1 now the one lime 1h01 we ac1ually do get 10 vote, nobody knew thnl we were voting."

Manis said.

The Statement or Goals passed wi1h a vole ofll-11. All six of the NIC reprcsenta1ivcs voted nega1ivcly along with five of the ISU delcga1es. Immediately before the voting 100k place, Manin made a assertion 1ha1 one d11lega1e thanked him because it made him lhink and change his vote. " If I could hnvc done some research and thinking on the Statement instead of just being pushed into it, then our vOlcs migh1 have been differcn1." Manis said.

After the commincc mee1ing, Martin cornered Manis and as~ed her why her delegates voted negatively.

Manis explained that she changed her mind and she nccdcd more time 10 go over the Statement of Goals.

"It's going 10 be frustrating because there won't be any solutions come out of this," said l..anoy Stein, director of Student Services at NIC. The delegates also passed and signed a resolution 11 • press conference early Sunday morning. It called for a notable increase in funding for Idaho's higher education system and was sponsored by the Associated Students of University of Idaho.

A larp part ol tbe debata focused on including a

student on the State Board of Education. Some delega&cs said they wanted a very specific statement on bow &Kb a student would be chosen. Idaho

Supcrin1cnden1 of Public Schools and Board member Jerry Evans said 1h01 he welcomes s1uden1 inpul on Board decisions.

ASUI Presidem Richard Rock said that the goal of pulling lhe siudent on the Board is 10 improve the inpu1.

Two years ago, Gov. Cecil Andrus vc1oed a bill 1ha1 would have placed a studen1 on the Board as n nonvoting member. Evans said 1he bill was ve1oed because the studenl board member might not represent all of lhc schools and there are a 101 of decisions made by the Board that don't involve higher educaiion.

'The insti1u1ion is for lhe s1uden1s. Thal"s why 1hey are here," Evans said.

In 1he linal vo1c, dclcga1cs voled 2-l in favor or a general endorsemen1of a s1udcn1 Board member.

Many seminars were hold over 1he weekend, including addressing the legisla1ure, media and lhe S1a1e Board of Educntion. Special gues1 speakers included BSU Prcsidcnl Charles Ruch, !SU Prcsidcnl Richard Bowen. Caroline Holly of KIVI Channel 7 in Boise, and a California based lobbyis1. Don Br0wn n Cnlifomia-based lobbyisl who explained how to bcs1 approach the legisla1ure.

'1'he role of sludcnt govcrnmcnl in relation 10 students, adminlsm11ion, the Slate Board of Educn1ion and the legislature is 10 provide leadership." Rueb said.

"A good policy is balance...in 1he long huul."

Ruch said there are three qualities which are essential for effcc1ivc s1uden1leaders. The lirs1 is a love for people of nil shnpcs and persu11.~ions with n capaoiry 10 undcrstnnd their diffcrcnl points of view.

The second is knowledge.

"II is important 10 understand issues and complexi1y by asking questions," Ruch said.

The lioal esscn1ial quality is working with constituents 10 empower them and build networks. ·11ie challenge is 001 control, ii is giving awny and pulling 1ogethcr," Ruch linishcd.

A council meeting wrapped up the Summit weekend where the ASB Prcsiden1s discussed what 1he presidential council will be doing in tile ru1ure.

"1 feel students have been withou1 power long enough and the Idaho S1ud'en1Summi1 is 1hc firs1 vital s1cp in the empowerment of s1udents," said Kcrs1in Hui, Lewis and Clark State College student body president. ''II will take some time but IO years down the road, the students of Idaho's colleges and universities may be the most powerful lobbying group in the state. We took the first step this weekend," Manin said. l&luurl Bow,11 11 Clo1i11g S1111,nu111: MJ want 10 compliment the delegates on their Statement of Goals. I could go on forever, but you have caused me 10 come to some conclusions and observations of my own, which U'C that you have a way of staling your general agreements in such general tones that we tend not 10 reveal where the clashes arc and where the absolutely certain coaructs U'C going 10 occur.
